I planned to post more of the phone sex fic today but didn't manage to write anything new for it and don't wanna force it lol - this week has been so exhausting and I've been feeling less inspired, but hopefully it'll get better soon haha
so for now here's more of alive shannon - this is a scene from ch2 and eddie and shannon's divorce talk that I was gonna post on tuesday but then went with the alternate universes convo bc i wasn't sure about this one but like, fuck it, right? haha
prev snippet

“I could’ve made some better decisions, too.” Eddie admits, hand reaching up to rub the back of his neck. “Could’ve gone to your mom’s with you. I still haven’t apologized for that. I’m sorry.” he says with so much sincerity and sorrow.
“It’s-” the word okay gets stuck in her throat. Because it’s not. It never was. She had to choose between staying with her son, and a husband she did nothing but argue with, or go spend the little time she had left with her mom. It wasn’t fair, and it wasn’t okay, and she was so tired and overwhelmed, and angry, and she couldn’t fucking do it anymore. Maybe it wasn’t the best decision, but she had to go. She had to see her mother, take care of her… say goodbye. Getting to do that is the one and only thing about that decision she doesn’t regret.
“Yeah.” Eddie breathes out, and silence falls over them, for just a few seconds that feel like forever.
“I get that you needed time.” she suddenly speaks up, not able to conceal the hurt and anger in her voice, as it still lingers there, even years later. She knows her own faults, but she’s not the only one responsible here. “You had just gotten back, you wanted to be close to your family, you needed time to adjust. I get that, and I didn’t want to pressure you, but- my mom didn’t have that much time, and I needed to be with her. I know you’d do the same if it was anyone from your family.”
“That’s true.” he says quietly.

Drabble 39
39.
"Mean what?" Rex asked.
"What you said earlier." Mark reminded him, briefly pausing to punch a ninja square in the face. "Something about us moving in together?"
Rex snapped a sword, before ducking and driving his elbow into another's face. "Oh yeah, that! Well, you're in your final year of college and I've been gathering all this money, so... you know, thought I'd look!"
"Alright! What did you find so far?"
Rex slipped under a sai, wincing as it narrowly missed his cheek. He wrapped his arms around the ninja's waist and pulled hard, sending them crashing to the floor in a suplex manoeuvre. "Well, there's only about five of them we can afford in the entire state. First one's rent is pretty low for the area, but the landlord is an asshole!"
"Not worth it. If he's anything like my old boss at Burger-Mart, I'm not living there!" Mark replied, not missing a beat as he tossed a desk into a group of goons. "Or my Business Studies professor, actually, cause I'm still not over that!"
Rex would've chuckled at that, if he wasn't already busy trying not to get stabbed. "Uh huh. Two are inner-city, so rent's not that bad, but they’re pretty small and barebones. Oh, and- Jesus!- and there's two on the outskirts of the city that look pretty nice, but the rent is just way too high for my standards!”
“Barebones is fine. The money left over from my dad’s book sales should cover the cost of furniture and stuff, so that leaves the deposit and rent over. You can cover the first month, right?”
Rex chuckled. “Try the first year and then some!”
“Oh-hoh, really? And how much money did you save up, exactly?” Mark asked in an intrigued manner, not even noticing as a thug broke their hand trying to punch him.
“A fair few hundred, but there’s a lot more on the way. Trust me!” Rex reassured him.
“Alright. Well, either way, you still gotta meet my halmani!”
“Okay, my Korean is still a little basic, I’ll admit,” Rex confessed, “but... I’m sorry, did you mention your grandma? What’s up with that?”
Mark grinned. “Oh, I wouldn’t worry too much! From what Mom’s told her about you already, Nana Hei-Ran’s gonna love you when she flies over from Busan! Well, mostly at least. That reminds me, do you have a problem with K-dramas?”
“I... don’t think so?”
“Good, cause K-dramas are like one of the unavoidable things you have to deal with when you join my family, so... yeah, good start!”

college (-ish) intro pt. 2:
had literature and calc today. lit teacher ghosted us until like today (in terms of icollege) and then turned out to be the assistant prof of english at college. this made me laugh. it made sense but ALSO REALLY FUNNY. he was also the one teacher who was explicit about wanted us to succeed. teachers please tell your students that more it makes me feel happy. as for lit textbooks, teacher will be providing them as we go. thank you prof.
calc professor: mistook him for a student at first (which isnt an unreasonable assumption bc this college purposefully caters to working adults too so) and then he went to the teacher's desk. and yeah he was the teacher lol. i also think he's vaguely terrified of me bc i answered like 2/3rds of his questions (turns out if you take AP calc BC the year before, you're pretty darn set for college-level Calc I!). and yeah he told us to pay for the textbooks lol.

is mali a mortal within the hsr universe?
the short answer? no.
the long answer? to a certain degree, the inhabitants of alpha zedara always had qualities that made them different from regular mortals or humanoid beings. their bodies were almost symbiotically linked to the planet's core & thus, remained as healthy as the planet did. in other words — the natives knew that their planet was sick & dying long before the first instance of the mysterious substance, later known as shadow's grief, was discovered.
the alpha zedara inhabitants were described to be often seen communicating with the shadows that their world cast. despite the radiance within their prime, natives seemed most at ease within the darkness. they were able to seemingly become one with them, appearing somewhere else altogether if they stepped out of it once more. an attribute that was deemed to be the product of gossip, however, such was not quite right . . . when the two moons of alpha zedara crossed, a child was blessed within the blood moon's light.
when one's eyes close, another one's open.
a saying that was inscribed within every significant building upon alpha zedara, even upon some jewelry & other wares. it was the mantra. a sacrifice for a gift. the very way of living upon the planet. one that was able to transcend hundreds of years if one was willing to go that mile. however, alpha zedara would take their memories if they ever left & abandoned their ways — as such, mali's identity was taken the very moment she exited the dead planet's atmosphere.
yet, the grief of the shadows is imbued into her very body — the grief of alpha zedara. down her inner wrist, up to her chest where they found a home within what was once her heart; dark & red lines appear, raking themselves across her pale skin & forever changing the woman.
