#looking for a forever home

[pursuitseternal]

Behold, my fic charcuterie board for today….

I’ve been bouncing between works today. I cannot wait to share. Enjoy a small sampling from today’s fruits of my labor…

From “Touch the Darkness:”

At first, Sauron thought him weak hearted at the mild rumbling of the volcano, but then, he sensed the shadows, his ears hearing the labored breathing beyond the trees. “Orcs,” Celebrimbor mouthed as his eyes trained deep into the brush.

A growl came from the back of Sauron’s throat, his hand reaching immediately behind him for Galadriel’s body, and his grip clutched tightly at her arm. His magic thrummed through her, filling her with that pressure and smoke, “I can hear their hushed commands, their black speech meant for only their ears.” He grimaced at the fools who would forget their master that gave them that tongue. They would die before they were reminded.

“They are after the Queen,” he pushed his presence deep into both elves beside him, Celebrimbor’s eyes growing instantly wider at the intrusion and the rush of magic. But the king only continued. “Are your soldiers good fighters?”

“Good enough for an Orc raid and more,” the elf nodded his head along with his thoughts. “Take Galadriel to safety, my lord. You have found the first of your allies with me.”

With that, in the dim and greying light, they each scattering over the slopes of Oroduìn. Drawing his blade, Celebrimbor and his warriors charged into the treeline, cutting off the ambush in the shadows that they sought as cover.

“I can fight,” Galadriel hissed, her anger and frustration crashing into her king with icy power.

“You are stubborn, my Elf,” he sneered aloud before giving a low whistle to his steed. “You are beyond value to me, and I will do whatever necessary to protect you, now. Even if I have to carry you on my shoulder, throw you over Burzum’s back and ride you into the castle.”

Galadriel froze in silent rage.

“Very well, it is as you wish,” his sneer drew more twisted into that gut-dropping smirk of his. “But you should know I will take far more delight in it this way.”

A moment before she could confirm his sultry words, he did as he said. Heaving her atop his shoulders he was ready to set her gently on his tall destrier the moment it obeyed his command. Sauron spared no moment to kick his horse forward, away from the fighting and into the brightest patches of fading sun.

As they rode, she melted into him. She knew he was right. The child within her drained her energy, tapping on both their magics as it grew. But more importantly, her life was no longer just her own again. The rhythm of the warhorse’s canter swayed her hard against his chest, and she curled into him for warmth against the whipping near-winter air. That stubble of his face scratched at her ear as he bent his head to whisper, “I am not one to keep my mighty commander from a fight, but you cannot forget just how precious you have become to me. Never in a thousand ages would I find one to replace you.” He placed a halting kiss on her temple as they lurched across the plains, Barad-Dûr growing closer with each moment. Then he whispered it again. “Far, far too precious.”

From “Dark Wolf of the Woods:”

Magic seeped from him, already almost reduced to nothing, it would be so easy to let the warm dark settle around him at last.

To just shed the form that trapped him.

Eyes fluttered shut as two soft hands lifted his heavy head. One of his last breaths escaped as a whine, pitiful even to his own ears. His neck wounds soured, his haunch still weeping blood. Too much blood.

Suddenly, something stung on his hip, something slick and sticky heating right on the seeping gash that was killing him. “Hush now,” Galadriel soothed him, her fingers gingerly pressing some fragrant paste into his open wound. “Thank you for ending him,” her voice floated through the mists that clouded his mind, unable yet to open his eyes. Strength depleting so rapidly, she but only slowed his life draining from him with her healing. Ignoring his approaching death, that infernal She-elf just kept talking. “I would like to say that you saved me, but I think we both know, cast-off servant of the Dark One, I would have made quick work of him myself.”

Great, he sneered in foul humor. It would have been nice at least to die in this form having done something worth remembering. But, alas, even his faint attempts at heroics failed, just as pitifully as his attempts to be the enemy.

Not a villain; not a hero. And yet she remained blissfully unaware that he was dying.

His lungs grew dry, his breaths shallow and rattling. And all the while she tended his wounds, her fingers now pressing that stenching paste into the soured bite marks at his neck. At the least, he could die with one last glimpse of that ethereal face and that glowing, beautiful hair.

[im-totally-not-an-alien-2]

Danny covered his nose with his hand. Where ever he landed smelled absolutely foul, like rotten fruit and burning tires mixed with chem lab.

"Remind me to bring a face mask the next time I explore the Infinite Realms." He muttered, before kicking a soda can down the alley he was in and being repulsed by the squelch sound it made when it came into contact with a very questionable looking puddle, "Better yet, a gas mask." He glanced at the puddle again, "Or I could go full Hazmat." Clockwork had told him this world was full of superheros and villians and to steer clear of it, but once he learned there were aliens in this world he couldn't help himself. Danny had always been weak to his curiosity, but he liked to believe he was cautious, and chose to stay in his Phantom for for added protection.

Turning on his heel he exited onto a deserted street lined on one side by a chain-link fence. The sky above him was filled with clouds so ominous and dark that Danny honestly couldn't tell you if it was night or day, all he knew was that it was going to rain soon and hopefully these awful smells would be drowned out by the downpour.

Danny got his wish only minutes later. Thankfully Phantom was unbothered by the cold and could just bask in the rain as it fell apon him. A lesser known fact about ghosts is that thier clothes are made from thier ectoplasm and are part of thier bodies, much like a second layer of skin, so one would be able to feel things on thier clothes as easily as they would with thier bare skin. The level of sensitivity varies with the type of clothing however. All this to say Danny loved the feeling of the rivulets of rainwater traveling down his ghostly hazmat suit.

He was so preoccupied with enjoying the sensation that he didn't notice anything was wrong until he was jolted forward from the weight of someone landing on his back. The person was quick and precise, taking no time at all to have his wrists pinned behind his back and- weirdly enough- thier teeth digging into the material around his neck.

His parents designed the Hazmat suit Danny was wearing not only to deal with dangerous chemicals, but to fight supernatural foes. The area around the neck was reinforced with the intention of protecting against fatal gunshots and decapitations so naturally someone's jaw wasn't going to be enough to break through to his neck.

Danny let out a laugh as the person kept chewing on his neck like a confused puppy. Oh, Danny thought, they've gone feral. It was odd for someone to go feral but it could occur when a person has gone through something traumatic recently or through extreme stress. It made sense since the person ridding piggy back on him was dressed like a superhero. Danny wondered if that was why the person didn't have a scent. Danny learns facepalmed when he remembered that scentblockers existed and not everyone's scent dramatically changed whenever they went out as a hero. The scent change was probably one of the few things that have kept him alive up to this point to be honest.

"So, I guess you're not going to tell me why you're chewing on my neck like the worlds most pathetic vampire, are you?" No one deserves that title more than the fruitloop to be honest. He made a mental note to use that one against Vlad the next time he saw him.

Chewy whined at this, seeming to slump a bit from the apparent failure to bite him. What was that about? Was this actually a vampire? How would a vampire even react to Dannys ecto-blood combo meal anyway? Would it be like food poisoning? Or would it taste amazing from one undead to another. "I'm not exactly human, are you sure you wanna bite me? I might not taste so good." Danny warned, but the moment he mentioned letting the person bite him they were eager again.

Danny chuckled and unzipped the material only a bit before it was loose enough to move out of the way. The vampires bite came with a sharp pain like he expected but there was no suction. No drinking of blood. Just some weirdo biting Danny on the neck. Huh.

Danny hoped he didn't get rabies from this.

He must have accidentally said that out loud as there was a small laugh from the rooftops above them. There stood another person in a superhero outfit with some really tall dude dressed as a giant bat, and that was when Danny decided to bail. It was one thing to let a maybe vampire bite you in a random street in the middle of the night but more of them? And ones a big scary furry? Hard pass.

Phantom did as Phantoms do and went invisible and intangible, escaping from Biteys jaws and startling the heros. He ignored the distressed whine Munchy let out after loosing their spookyest chew toy and quickly rubbed the scent gland near dannys jaw on the top of thier head as an act of comfort before bolting.

----

Danny poked at the bite mark on his neck. Screw rabies, he better not get turned into a werewolf. He didn't need that on top of his ghostly crap. Sam seemed fascinated by the mark, after all, it wasn't every day that Danny got a scar, especially one so obvious. Most injuries heal quickly and leave no trace of him ever being injured in the first place which helped a lot in keeping his secret identity.

Luckily Danny hadn't needed to lie to mom and dad. He truthfully told them about some wierdo jumping off of a nearby rooftop and plunging thier teeth into his neck and that two other people had tried to corner him during this. He assured his mom that he had gotten away quickly but was a little shaken by it and his dad praised him for being brave and managing to escape.

That was nice. But he still had to figure out what was up with this bite...and why he felt so compelled to go back to that city.

Back to that hero.

-----

Aka an A/B/O au where in Danny's universe all the Alphas are extinct and the betas followed soon after and the DC universe all the Omegas went extinct and betas followed after . Not like a "they finally went extinct in the 1700s after centuries of thier numbers dwindling" thing and became a myth/fairytale (tho I like that too) but a "this might be the missing link between cave men and modern humans" kinda thing.

Its up to you which bat bit Danny and exactly what that means. I love abo aus without smut cause there's so much potential for chaos and I am very much ace.

[yuwuta]

itfs + reader is so real to me and it works like this: you’re megumi’s childhood best friend, somewhere along the way he meets yuuji, yuuji asks him out, and somewhere along the way—probably mid blowjob or something becuase that’s definitely when yuuji would be thinking about it—yuuji’s like “hey, so do you know you’re in love with your best friend or what?” and megumi literally chokes, and avoids him for like a week but eventually he does admit that he does know, but he also does really like yuuji and if they were normal, they’d break up, but they’re so very far from normal that it becomes a whole thing for them to get off while talking about you, for yuuji to taunt megumi about how he wishes you were here between them and tease him about naughty it is that he fantasizes about his best friend while getting sucked off by his boyfriend, and for megumi to tell him to shutup but then he babbles about all of he pent up fantasies about you anyway. yuuji likes messing with megumi’s guilt about this, and megumi hates how much he likes that yuuji is also into you, and somehow you being oblivious to this is a whole other kink they’ve got going on and have no idea how to sort out

i think i need a lobotomy

[vynnyal]

Turns out Sunlit Trail isn't quite done just yet, so after all that they just send you to a dead end 😂

Google “headboard cushion rail”

close, but this is not what dnp have.

the more i look at it, the more i think it was custom made. because it goes all the way to the bedside tables. and sockets are installed into the wooden wall with the rail:
