this is inspired by His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.
Simon Ghost Riley x f!Reader.
First | Next
Never Gonna Be Alone.
The battlefield was never calm, always aggressive, but times had been hard and that year they had less soldiers than ever before. Simon made the mistake of getting too close, desperate to cover more ground.
In an instant, he flew into the sky with a big booming sound, pain blooming in his leg. When he fell to the ground he couldn't hear or feel anything for a few minutes, the air gone from his lungs.
Somewhere beside him, he could hear Riley whimpering and whining in pain, even if it was hard to tell with the guns going off. Mostly, he heard him in his mind, and his heart. He blindly reached out, patting the ground until he found him, dragging himself next to Riley, holding onto him. He could smell the blood on his fluff but he held tight, their bond trembling with the intensity of their agony.
Gunshots, bombs, and screams made his head spin, daemons disappearing into golden dust left and right, soldiers falling dead to the ground. At some point, somebody grabbed him and dragged him back, and Simon finally realized what was wrong with him.
He wailed in pain, not letting go of Riley, keeping him right against his chest. Whenever his hands faltered, nearly passing out from shock, Riley would bite onto his uniform, keeping them close.
Another bomb going off next to his head made Simon wake up with a choked gasp, making Riley flinch awake as well. His sleepy eyes immediately alert as he stared at Simon, his fluffy ears straight up. Riley's eyes were questioning.
"Sorry, buddy. Nightmare" he said, rubbing his face hard. He reached out, purposely ignoring Riley's grunts and the rolling of his eyes, and pulled him closer, holding onto him, pressing his face into his daemon's fluff.
Riley's body curled around his head and rested his wet nose against Simon's neck, breathing steadily. That night, as many others, they gave each other comfort, and fell asleep again.
The next morning, Simon was greeted with great news.
"Two healthy babygirls" his brother told him, gripping onto Simon's shoulder, beaming so brightly that it was impossible not to smile back.
"I'm happy for you both. How's the missus?" he asked, handing Tommy a mug of coffee.
"Tired as fuck. She told me how she was gonna kill me, explicitly, if I got her pregnant again" Tommy chuckled, his face filled with love, the mug forgotten in his hand. His brother was glowing. "I just came back to take a shower while she sleeps, and then I'm off".
Simon smiled, shaking his head. He liked Beth so much he swore he would kick Tommy if he ever fucked it up.
"You don't have to leave. You know this" a voice grunted from Tommy's shoulder.
Simon looked at the little chinchilla, smiling at her. "I know, Lili. Still, I can't have my nieces living with all my brats in the backyard".
"Don't you dare calling them brats. They're more likeable than you are" Tommy said, rolling his eyes.
Riley's tail was sweeping against the floor next to Simon, amused by his brother's comment.
"Shut up. I'll be less than an hour from here, so you won't even notice Riley and I left" Simon sighed.
Riley made a little noise of annoyance when Lili jumped from Tommy's shoulder, head first into his side.
"Oi, stop bullying Riley" Simon warned her, playful. Riley's tail started swaying faster as the chinchilla went to chase it.
When Tommy told him they were expecting, Simon started looking for a new house nearby. Just forty minutes from there, in a small town, Simon found a house big enough for his pond, and close enough to visit his family as often as they wished. He bought it without much thought.
The pond was finished by the time Beth's tummy was as big as his brother's head.
It was ready to move in to.
"Are you sure?" Tommy question him again.
"Positive. Besides, the missus will need her space, and so will you".
"You are not a burden, Simon" Lili scolded him gently, nibbling on Riley's tail, which had gone still. "You are family".
"What she said" Tommy nodded, staring intently at Simon.
Riley growled lowly, affection heavy in their bond. Playfully, Riley chomped on Lili's little head, making her squeak in contentment. They went off, chasing each other and playing next to the pond.
"When are you moving, then? At least let me help you with the gars" his brother insisted. Simon rolled his eyes.
"Bloody hell, you're so annoying. Fine, have it your way".
A few weeks later, Simon said goodbye to the happy family, promising to come back when they had the time. "If you want a day off, I'll come and take care of the babies" Simon offered. Beth was so happy for his offer that she nearly cried.
Tommy smiled.
And then Simon and Riley were off.
The town was small but it was perfect for his retirement. Riley was still jumpy sometimes, so the quiet atmosphere would really help them.
Over the next few days, Simon slowly eased his alligator gars into the pond, the bass, the turtles, the catfish, even the carp that had survived their sharp teeth, now part of the family.
Riley would sleep under the sun for hours, would sometimes jump over the pond just to annoy the fish, and eat his fill pressed to Simon's leg on the floor.
Ever since Simon lost his leg, making Riley lose his as well, his daemon never spoke a word again. Traumatized into silence because of the shock.
It wasn't uncommon for people in the military. Some daemons never spoke again, some went blind, and some, if small enough, never let others see them if they could help it.
They could communicate easily, as their bond was untouched, but it was never words. It was a feeling, a tug in Simon's heart. And it was enough.
During the first month they moved in, his neighbors tried to come and welcome him, but most only stared at his face, then at his daemon, and would quickly scram.
Simon could tell Riley found it insulting. It was only a prosthetic leg, and a few cuts on their faces from the battlefield. They weren't criminals, they were retired soldiers.
Not a bit of respect, or kindness, in their faces.
Only pity and fear.
"I know, buddy. Come on, let's feed the brats" he said, flicking Riley's fluffy ear.
Riley was the first to notice.
Simon was feeding the bass, when Riley sent a tug through their bond. He got up and walked over.
"What's wrong?"
Riley growled to the pond, his head pointing to the turtle.
"What's wrong with Lemon?" he asked, confused. Riley sent worry through their bond.
Simon started counting them, and he finally understood.
"Oh, that little dickhead. She must be somewhere" he snarled, worried, and also incredibly upset.
If the turtle was hurt because he made a mistake with the pond, he would never forgive himself.
He looked everywhere in the backyard, even threw his GoPro camera into the pond to check if she was hiding between the rocks, but he found nothing.
Just as he was thinking of sucking it up and asking his neighbors, somebody knocked on his door. Riley walked over first, waiting to be seen first as soon as Simon opened the wooden door.
Simon's lips parted slightly as a young woman smiled up at him. She was pretty, dark circles under her eyes and curly eyelashes.
Riley's head tilted to the side.
"Hello. Is this one yours?" she asked. Simon looked down, staring at the green turtle in her hands.
"Fuck! I couldn't find you anywhere. I was so worried, dammit" he told the turtle, gently taking it from her hands.
While Simon placed the turtle back in the pond, Riley observed the girl standing at the door. She was blinking, surprised. Her eyes turned to him.
"Are you his daemon?" she asked, her tone gentle. Riley nodded once, his ears straight up.
"Nice to meet you" she told him, smiling at him. "I think I'll... close the door" she chuckled, gripping the door's handle.
Riley stood up from where he was sitting, catching her attention, and that's when Simon came back. The girl let go of the door handle.
"I'm so sorry. I was so worried I forgot to even say hello before I stormed away" Simon said, rubbing the back of his head. "I— thank you for bringing her".
The girl smiled and waved away his apology, her eyes flickering down for one quick moment. "That's fine. I was just saying hi to—"
"What happened to your leg?" a little voice hissed from inside the girl's hoodie. The tone was incredibly curious, not a bit judgy. Simon's eyebrows shoot up in surprise. Even Riley growled lowly in amusement.
The girl turned bright and gently smacked her chest, making the daemon hiss in annoyance, and took a step back. "I'm so sorry, please ignore her. I'm so glad your turtle is back and— yeah, hm. Bye. Yeah. Goodbye".
Simon and Riley shared a look, before turning back to the girl, who was hissing at her daemon, tugging on the hoodie.
"Viper! That wasn't nice! What if you made him feel sad? You can't just ask that!" she scream-whispered, not looking back at them even once. "Ugh, you're helpless!"
Simon couldn't help but smile as he closed the door. He turned to look at Riley.
Riley's tail was swaying across the floor, lazy and... content, he realized. There was endearment in their bond.
Simon raised his eyebrow. When their eyes met, Riley growled softly, his tail swaying faster.
What? he seemed to say.
"Come on, buddy. We still gotta feed the rest" Simon mumbled, his eyes twinkling.
well!! this happened.
Riley is an Alaskan Malamute and Viper is, you guessed it, a Mexican Black Kingsnake. i just think she's neat.
daemon. long story short, daemons are a representation of their inner-self. that's the "real" shape of their soul. because of Simon's past, Riley became a big dog to protect them, if that makes sense. they all have a mind of their own, but they're one w their person.
why a snake? snakes are cool, but I might pull a reason out of my sleeve at some point. i won't include a picture, but the mexican black kingsnake is beautiful. I was thinking of a rattlesnake too, but I liked this one better.

even if i sometimes write pmreader & chuuya as intimate with each other, u guys must understand that there is no underlying sexual or romantic desire there. they seek comfort in each other because they’re familiar, the one constant in each others’ lives, the only person they have that they can reliably count on. when they’re feeling too alone, or too vulnerable, or too anything, and they don’t have anyone else to go to, they’ll go to each other. it’s never ‘oh i want u so bad’, it’s ’pls i need to not be alone so bad’ or ‘pls i need one night away from my own thoughts so bad’ like do u get what i mean. chuuya and pmreader's relationship is so special to me BECAUSE it's not romantic </3 do u guys understand what i mean or am i just rambling to the void
#i know u guys want the poly#the poly isn’t happening in canon verse i fear. or civzai. or beast.#i just don’t see them that way 😔#maybe i’ll make a one shot or something later on but#no promises

swap au or something
ekko -> viktor
viktor -> jinx
jinx -> ekko
i read this fic and got inspired. it doesn't follow the canon to it but it inspired me (do check it out though it's really cool)
if you got any au questions then throw em at me (i've only watched arcane once tho so i might not have answers)
(more in the tags)
#diinoposting#yippee diino art#random au ideas#arcane swap au#arcane#ekko arcane#jinx arcane#viktor arcane#forgot to add#viktor gets 2 hexclaws for braid equivalent#they also are what he uses the stolen hextech to power#as like equivalent also to jinx's guns and weapons#it's cool#ekko here still becomes machine herald in place of vik#it's less religiony but he is still saviour in the eyes of the healed#jinx at first still quite likes bombs but switched to more defensive weapons after creating the firelights#definitely will still create time travel too#jayvik probably won't happen in this au except for maybe really later. they kinda fought at the start and it was pretty irreversable#viktor hates jayce and piltover with a passion because viktor created a bomb and was gonna use it on enforcers but jayce thinks now that al#-zaunites are chaotic and violent. he doesn't want to work with someone who's making bombs that will kill their beloved police force#this is like really far back tho. a couple years or so after viktor's boat scene. so it's not exactly fully rational thought yet#since they got small child brains (in terms of development and core values. they're still both super smart)#then since hears their argument and viktor accidentally sets off the bomb. jayce retreats and takes their main notebook back to piltover.#singed i mean. typo#meanwhile vik gets adopted by silco who promises that jayce and the rest of piltover will see his potential someday (likely violently tbfr)#the bomb and the boat are currently his best work and silco sees use in all of it. the bombs are well. bombs. but the boat has really well#-made mechanisms which can be used for other stuff#i think im gonna stop rambling in the tags now lol#any questions feel free to ask cause this idea has definitely split off from it's source inspiration#ok thanks gang

short mini-fic inspired by this post by @magnecalliope and tags by @femboyclownpierce
pangi enjoyers i dont know what inspired me to write this from pangi's POV because i dont really watch him outside of ros.... if i got his mannerisms wrong, im sorry
The tiled floor and wooden cabinets of the castle's kitchen were cold against Pangi's scales. The cold was really the only thing keeping him present, and a deep part of him despised it.
He dragged his eyes up from where he had been staring at a red stain (it wasn't blood, blood dried brown, but his heart thudded in his chest all the same) to look at Ros, desperately trying to ignore the red figure right behind her.
Pangi had found Ros in the kitchen, having tracked her down after noticing the absence of purple. She was leaning heavily against the counter, not quite falling over, with an open bottle of fruity wine in her hand. She wasn't absolutely wasted, not yet, but she was certainly on her way there.
She had looked at Pangi, her eyes wet, and asked him if she could complain to him.
Pangi was... trying, at this whole "being genuine friends with Ros" thing. It was hard, after Pili had burnt him so deeply; he didn't really remember how to be a friend.
But what he was good at was listening in on gossip, and if his love of messy chisme helped Ros get out all her woes, then no one could fault him for it.
And, Void, he knew Ros had issues, with all her violent and sacrificial tendencies and what he had heard Pili yell at her about her self-worth issues, but...
She went on, and on, and on. How she tried to make everyone happy, and how it never seemed to make her happy. Everything with Owen, which he had to shove down his old feelings of triumph about, which now felt sickening. Being Queen while Foolish was dead, and how Red and Green had hunted her every day, and how she didn't fault Pangi for it anymore, but it still scared her, even now.
It was when she finally started talking about Pili and everything he did, did Pangi ask for the half-empty bottle, and joined her in her drowning.
Halfway through whatever this was, with Pangi sobbing over his dead best friend who came back but didn't truly, and Ros sobbing over her twice-over murderer who made her angry and scared and confused, did Clown walk in.
It was an interesting experience, for Pangi's heart and soul, to be near-yelling about how Pili had died, and then for Pili's murderer to walk in the room.
All at once, he was slammed with this nauseous feeling of rage-terror-grief, spurred on by dulled memories of past lives and the haze of alcohol. For a moment, his mind screamed to just attack Clown right then and there, but the last remaining vestiges of his preservation instinct held him back.
That and... it would probably upset Ros. It was strange, how something like that mattered to him now.
Clown had just stared back at Pangi and, to his surprise, silently walked over to where Ros sat on the floor, and dropped down behind her, leaning against her back.
That's where they were now. With Ros still on a mad rant about Pili, and Pangi was trying to pay attention, trying to be a good friend, but it was getting harder and harder with a certain jester in the room.
Clown was entirely still. This alone set off every alarm bell in his head. A still, dead-silent Clown was a Clown that was planning to strike when you least expected it, and it nearly made Pangi ready his end crystals in his hotbar.
But the longer he sat here, the more he realized that wasn't all. Clown was still and silent, but he was relaxed. His posture loose, all of his weight supported against Ros. The archmage had an arm wrapped around the architect, something that normally would send the shocking fear of being grappled into anyone, but Ros had simply gotten hold of Clown's other arm, the grip being reciprocated.
For that matter, Ros was confusing too. Her hold on Clown tightened as she got more and more emotional in her ranting, until her knuckles turned white and her nails dug into the dark fabric of Clown's sleeve, like Lifesteal's deadliest player was just her emotional support stressball.
He would've expected Clown to protest in any way, but the only acknowledgment the jester gave was a soft, mumbled hum and his head lolling against Ros' shoulder, and that's the moment Pangi finally realizes,
Wait, is he also wasted?
He really didn't expect Clown to lower his guard at an event like this enough to get drunk, even if it was hosted by Ros. He also didn't expect Clown to be okay with showing off this much softness in the presence of someone like Pangi. He knew Ros and Clown were friends, by Ros' own admission, but he didn't know...
(It reminds him of Pili, and his gut churns. Days and nights spent deep underground, laying against each other and the potion machine. The sound of turtle eggs hatching and the feeling of Pili's soft fur against his scales. Sometimes, only when he's just moments from sleep, he would feel a soft, wispy caress on his head, and he felt safe.) (He felt safe with his best friend by his side, and a dark specter keeping watch over them.) (He wonders how Ros feels about getting both in just one person.)
He reaches for the bottle between him and Ros again. There's smudged purple lipstick on the rim. He doesn't care, hasn't cared about anything since Pili died, and takes another swig.
#i should probably make a tag for my writing huh#churro chirps#<- that works for now. ill change it later if i feel like it#this mini-fic really got everything. implied pangili and rospierce. coinduo angst. lifesteal past lives references. tr!clown analysis kinda#there was supposed to be dialogue but i wrote this in 40 minutes right before class and dialogue wouldve taken longer#i love angst AND fluff. yippee!!!!!!#anyway thank you magnecalliope and femboyclownpierce for the banger fic ideas yesterday. im Normal.#honestly maybe ill properly write this from ros' perspective sometime. no promises tho.#btw this isnt beta read at all because of the aforementioned “i wrote it in 40 minutes before class”#so if you see any spelling or grammar mistakes. no you didnt.

imagine you are playing a story-based game w the opportunity to learn more abt charas thru a relationship system (eg visual novels), and your ability to explore every relationship is linked to your success in a different part of the game.
#lili talking#lili dev#did you know! shop systems FUCKING suck#make stuff too cheap = good players do everything like halfway thru#make stuff too expensive = only players who optimize from the start can get everything#personally i dont think option 1 in the poll is good game design but. maybe people actually like it!!!#and option 3 i think feels bad if your failures early on lock u out from later stuff#but i dont go here (visual novels) so idfk whats expected#thanks for being my willing lab rats along this journey 🫡#still cant talk abt this yet but. i promise im cooking#let me cook!! in silence!!!!!!#<- person whos every waking moment is consumed by stuff she wants to share but cant

Toxic what do you think raider!joel would do if he saw sweet pea in a lingerie set? Like say during a scout or something she secretly found it and thought it was pretty and wanted to surprise him one night? Like it’s somehow held up over time fairly well.
Feel like he’d go feral. (Please excuse my smutty as all hell gif I found - I couldn’t resist, javi reminds me of raider!Joel sometimes)
Hhhhhh ty for this thot and image 🥵🥵 I agree, I think he would hardly be able to control himself.
I also couldn't help but think, hypothetically, what if she got the set by being bad? Like convincing Carter it was fine to take her to the mall 🤭 kind of like speakeasy (where joel is initially 🤨) but with raider you might need to be straightened out a bit. And if his possessiveness got triggered, uh oh.
#hypothetical#raider!ask#toxic ask#carter is my comfort character ok#my blog is the trailer#WIP#maybe later this wk but no hard eta#too many variables#but >1k so far#promise it's not one of those things where i make sp and carter almost fuck and hide it on a sideblog

starting to think that maybe it's a good idea to stop forcing myself to create and take a break actually
#i really want to make something. i don't feel good not working on things. i don't feel good just watching videos all day#but i think i need that right now haha#it's so difficult to do anything and it's impossible to enjoy it#and trying to work in another medium doesn't help either#i just need to rest#i just need to be nice to myself and think my little thoughts and rewatch hbomb and gabi belle for a thousandth time#and talk to people i like and treat myself to an occasional sweet#this does mean spending time away from the creative side of fandom because i do get a little jealous of people who can create still#i want to appreciate others' art but i need to be in a better headspace for it#so i'm just taking my time#i will still be opening commissions later this week because maybe money will be enough of an incentive for me to get to work#and i just really really need the money haha#and i need to promote my stuff in certain places and i need to have my comms open for that#but even then I'll try to take it easy#either way i love you all and i appreciate that even when i don't have anything to give people choose to be kind to me#i promise I'll repay you. even those who just donated money to me. if only a fraction of it but I'll give back i swear

I Do Not, I Do Not, I Do Not
(tw: religious trauma, LDS/Mormonism)
I do not miss the people.
or the way they made me feel.
I do not miss the steeple
or the couch, the walls, the kneel.
I do not miss your doctrine
or the books you made me read,
but every night I think about
the sinners made to bleed.
I do not miss the classes
or the lessons that they'd preach,
but even now I wonder
what pain was really meant to teach.
I do not miss the bathroom
or that place behind the stage.
I do not miss their loving eyes
that promised "love, not rage."
I do not miss the game nights
or the treats they always served.
I do not miss the way I felt
there was nothing I deserved.
I do not miss the bruises
the floor kissed into my knees.
I do not miss the iron rod
or the visions of the trees.
I do not miss the serpent,
the apple so misunderstood.
I do not miss the echo
of the sinner that I was.
I do not miss the people.
or the way they made me feel,
but, by god, I miss the steeple
the couch, the walls, the kneel.
#the thing they dont tell you about leaving the only community you know is that you will start to miss it#the thing they dont tell you about living around the block from a church (utah) is that you will look at it every time you drive past#and you will think “maybe it wasnt so bad”#you will search for other things to fill the spaces they carved out of you#you will go to other churches like a different god will be what heals you#and on your darkest nights you will pray to a god you swear you dont believe in with shaking hands#and the foundations of their prayer still fresh on your mind even a decade later#you will make deals with the devil but the devil was once your god#and he will tell you nothing but you will take his silence as condemnation#the bishop told you you were blessed and a gift from the angels but i promise you there are no angels here#you are no one's gift#you are yourself#and that is enough#religious trauma#exmormon#exmo stuff#religous trauma#religion#mormon trauma

i know it’s nothing new bc i feel like even before thanksgiving, my activity has been spotty, but!! i just want to officially say i’m not going to push myself to be here during the holidays. i’ll write when i have the energy, and i’ll pop in to lurk and check in ofc, but i feel very drained and stressed just thinking of christmas among other things. there’s also just personal stuff going on that has me tired. what i would like to do is just take a nice break and work on things like verses, side muses, and my fandom and oc multi’s — background stuff that doesn’t require me to be social atm. even commenting on posts has been a little hard lately bc i feel a bit stretched thin.
now i might surprise myself! next week i might write up a storm! but there’s also a chance that i won’t, so that’s why i’m making this post. i don’t want anyone to expect much out of me and i want to be upfront about that instead of trying to push myself to avoid disappointing someone.
you can reach me on discord ( waitforspring. ), and i’ll still be around here for sure! i’m just asking for your continued patience while i make it through the end of this year. i’m excited to write, but i need time before i can get back into writing consistently. i love you all, and please take care of yourselves 💜 this time of year is stressful enough without adding unneeded pressure!
#there’s so much i’ve been dying to do and maybe it’s just all the festivities of the past week#maybe i’ll feel differently later#but i don’t think i will tbh. this time of year always has me messed up#so i don’t want to make promises and just want to focus on keeping calm and relaxed uvu#anyway i’m getting a headache so i’m gonna stop talking now#we might be busy cleaning today so if you don’t see me lurking that’s why#get ready to ramble | ooc

REV AU one shot: Chris finds out
Crawls out of my hole covered in blood and mold: I don't know why this was so hard to write, but the writer's block is hitting me hard. I could see several parts of this scene so clearly in my head, but my brain just really didn't want to put words to paper. Once my brain's better I'll probably come and edit this a bit, but I hope y'all enjoy it. It's definitely one or the favorite scenes I've come up with.
He quickly lifted heavy limbs, picking them up from the ground. Leon’s vision had gone dark, but his rapidly came into focus.
He fumbled for the gun dropped when they went flying, foreign hands finding familiar purchase against the metal. Taking aim, he let off a volley of shots at the monsters encroaching on them.
They were tougher than infected he’d faced before; the center body of the strange knife-whipping tentacles needing to be basically shredded before they died, and bullet holes slowly sealed over with black tendrils if it wasn’t killed completely.
He felt like he was wasting ammo, but it just took so many bullets to drop the monsters. The larger one that’d flung them across the room and slammed Leon’s head into a desk was getting closer, lumbering steps slow. He tried to shoot its head like the rest of them, but the gun only clicked.
He swore under his breath and pulled Leon’s knife out; he hated close-quarters combat, but he didn’t have time to reload. Diving past flailing, dangerous limbs, he buried the knife in its main body. It grabbed and sliced at them, but he kept stabbing and cutting until it was too shredded to keep moving. He shoved it with more strength than he was used to, and it fell to the ground, dead.
Head still on a swivel, he made sure there were no more infected. The room looked clear, but there were a few desks and filing cabinets something could hide behind.
While he checked the room over, Ethan took a breath. He felt bad for having to break his promise of not taking control, but Leon wasn’t waking up in time. He’d pull back once Leon woke up, but it felt like he’d gotten a concussion with how hard he’d gotten his head hit. He spread his mold, stitching closed the scratches and scrapes Leon’s body had accrued. Skin and muscle was easy to regenerate, then pull his network from, and it’d almost become second nature since he’d gotten permission from Leon.
Nerves were a little harder. The mold naturally liked to cling to the nervous system, trying to take control and upload a person’s consciousness to the megamycete. It preferred to envelop or take over nerves, and that took more coaxing from Ethan to get it to untangle.
That’s why he was hesitating trying to do something about the concussion. He’d done his best to take control of Leon’s motor functions without getting the mold too tangled with his brain, but he’d have to root even deeper if he wanted to heal it. He subconsciously felt along his connection from the megamycete to the brain-
He froze. Damaged cartilage, more mold present, fractured vertebrae, and frayed nerves. A lot of frayed nerves.
He reached for the back of Leon’s neck, both with the body’s hand and his mold. The joints in the spine felt like they’d been misaligned before snapping back into place, nearly severing Leon’s entire spinal cord. His brain still sent and received continuous waves of signals to and from the body, impulses carried across the gap by Ethan’s mold network tangling with Leon’s nervous system.
Ethan felt like he was going to be sick. Or, as sick as he could feel in the state he was in. He didn’t think Leon hit his head that badly, but he guessed his neck did snap in a weird angle when they hit that desk.
After the horrific stories Leon had told him, a desk is what would have done him in?
He tried to pull the nerve fibers back together, but the mold that had taken their places was stubborn. It had locked itself firmly in place to keep the cord from coming detached and shutting down Leon’s body functions. He’s glad it obeyed when he tried to program it to protect Leon without his input, but he needed the mold to move if he wanted to heal it enough that he could remove it. He’d have to work to remove his network from his nerves anyway, so he might as well work on healing the concussion. He could practically hear the megamycete sing in joy as he spread to repair the battering Leon’s brain had taken-
“Close call, huh?” a familiar voice asked from behind them, making him tense up.
“Y-yeah, no kidding,” he replied, trying his best to speak like Leon. He nearly enveloped the man’s brain to speed his healing; he needed Leon awake now.
“I got worried when I saw one of them toss you, but I knew you’d have it handled,” Chris Redfield continued, none the wiser that he wasn’t talking to the real Leon. Ethan could hear him do that dumb slow pace he does while talking, where he wouldn’t look at him; dramatic asshole. Leon would’ve been dead if he didn’t have the mold. “You aren’t hurt too bad, though? Or infected?”
“No, I’ve had worse,” he replied, echoing what Leon said every time he’d close his wounds. He did his best to keep casual while hiding every inch of skin he could. His dark veins under Leon’s skin were visible even on his hands, and Ethan was sure his face was worse.
“True, but this is my case,” Chris stopped his pacing and sighed. “This wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t lost control of E-003.” A bolt of white-hot anger flared through Ethan’s entire network, and he felt a tingle from Leon’s brain. “Someone got to her, and-“
“What did you call Rose?” a voice, distinctly not Leon’s, left his mouth. Ethan whirled around without thinking, face pinched in anger, before freezing, rage forgotten.
He met Chris’s eyes for the first time in sixteen years, and it was like the horror and dread never left them since that day in Europe.
Without breaking eye contact, Chris pulled his pistol from its holster but kept it trained on the ground. With his other hand, he clicked the radio on his shoulder.
“Redfield reporting,” his gravelly voice didn’t give anything away, but Ethan couldn’t let him finish. “Kennedy’s been-”
A pillar of mold extending from Leon’s arm slammed him in the shoulder and enveloped the radio. He rolled with the force and raised his gun. The bullets aimed straight for Leon’s head harmlessly embedded themselves in a thick, carapace-like shield formed on his other arm.
Ethan had to get them out of there. The door was behind Chris, but the windows behind them were busted. They were on the second floor, so climbing to the roof would be better.
With half a plan, he tried to form tendrils to drag them back while he kept guarding their front. The mold twisted up in the space the megamycete laid in and instead formed four long, spider-like legs from Leon’s back.
Whatever, I can work with it, he thought, sending a tendril off his arm to pull Chris’s feet out from under him. He lifted them off the ground, pulling them back to the window. He found it with the limbs and hooked them outside the frame. He grew claws over Leon’s hands to scramble up the side, earning him a bullet to leg once his guard was dropped. He ignored Chris’s shouts as he climbed over the edge of the roof and jumped for another.
He strengthened his legs and used the spidery limbs to get him as far from Chris as he could. He wouldn’t let Leon get found out, he wouldn’t let him get killed, and he’d only stay until he knew Rose was safe. Now he just had to find a place to settle down enough to finish Leon’s healing.
A sudden stab of pain to his consciousness nearly sent him careening off a roof. He thought it might’ve been something from the megamycete trying to fight its way out before he heard him.
What the hell was that?! Leon mentally shouted; he was wrestling for control back to his body, and was doing a damn good job of it. You promised! And why did you attack Chris?!
Ethan pulled any mold back back from his skin and shoved control back so fast, Leon fell to his knees.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… he said on repeat. He felt Leon’s shoulders loose a little tension as he shakily stood to find cover behind an air conditioner. Once he’d gotten settled down, he laid a hand on his chest over where the megamycete rested.
“Hey,” he said, tapping his chest to get Ethan’s attention. “I feel like I missed something while I was out. Mind filling me in?”
#re venom au#resident evil#ethan winters#leon kennedy#I dont feel like designing enemies yet#but my idea is that they're some combination of plagas and mold#maybe plagas infested with cadou#but the mold basically makes the knife tentacle ganados really hard to kill#ethans still a little salty at chris for how he handled the whole “dont tell ethan anything” thing#and how he treats rose#he didnt want to have to talk to him#when ethan turns leon around he kind of looks like how mia did when she gets possessed in re7 with grey eyes and stuff#chris kinda has his “foot in mouth” syndrome from re8 where he somehow says the perfect thing to piss ethan off#ethan also promised to help hide that leons infected with mold so the government wont have any reason to stop him from retiring#thats why he only attacks when chris grabs his radio to call it in#and woohoo the plagas-shaped hole influencing mold form shape#i gotta finish actually describing the final mold-venom form#later#not beta read#enough stalling time to post#my writing

LOVE to think up aus for my dragon age characters
#tee hee :)#anyway! thought of one where lucanis dies at the end of veilguard and my crow rook finds out they’re pregnant a little after the end#so they pull a zevran and run away from the crows cause they know if caterina finds out she’s taking that fucking baby#(and possibly getting rid of rook too)#then like a year later viago tracks them down on his own cause he’s fucking worried and is shocked to see that there is a fucking baby now#my room makes it clear that they are not going back cause they can’t loose the baby too#and they make him promise not to tell anyone he found them#catering finds out anyway and my rook has accidentally started a crow civil war lol#obviously house de riva and cantori are allied with my rook and I think maybe illario would be too. despite it all.#I think it would all end with my rook killing caterina themselves and house dellamorte finally falling 👍
