Zero Cost Witchcraft

When I first started learning witchcraft, I remember seeing a lot of people bemoaning the fact that witchcraft cost so much, and even a few people who seemed disheartened by the fact that they’d never be able to start due to the cost. In a fictional book I was reading around that time, that incorporated modern witchcraft and paganism in it, even the main character made a comment about how much witchcraft and pagan practices cost. To this day, I continue to see similar posts and stories from people, and it always makes me twitch a little because witchcraft doesn’t have to be that and I’m frustrated that it’s presented that way so often.

So, here is a non-exhaustive list of various ways to practice witchcraft for free - or at least enough of it to get you started in the general sphere of things.

Energy Manipulation/Spellwork

At its core, witchcraft is the practice of manipulating energy into the form you want it to take. If you look at quantum physics, attention and expectation can change the way quantum mechanics present themselves in experiments, and it is my personal belief that witchcraft harnesses this phenomenon through the form of intentional energy manipulation.

The great news? Energy manipulation doesn’t cost a thing to do or to learn. You can learn to manipulate your own energy to do magic, or you can draw energy from the earth, fire, the stars, darkness, the moon and sun, the wind, sound. There are so many sources of energy to tap into - and while they might be easier to tap into with tools and leave you with more energy after a working to not use your own energy, you are absolutely able to do magic with just that.

Tools

As we are talking about using tools already, let’s talk about how to get supplies for the craft without spending anything. Jars for holding supplies or for spells can be obtained from washing out food jars, medicine bottles, or even be made from folding in the ends of paper towel or toilet paper rolls so that they form a container. Herbs and other plants can be obtained either from your kitchen where you already have them, or from wildcrafting what you need from your surroundings (just be sure to do so ethically, safely, and responsibly - there should be a variety of posts circulating around witchblr about how to do that). You don’t even need to gather anything fancy - as I mentioned in a past post, historically witches did not have access to the vast array of stones, woods, spices, incenses, etc that we have in the modern day, and they were still able to practice just fine so get creative. For elemental magic, you can get focuses from your surroundings - water from the rain or the tap, earth or stones from the ground, air from smoke or the wind, and fire from candle flame (or other kinds) or the sun. For material tools used in certain paths, you can use what you already have. A cup or thimble for a chalice, a sharp or dull knife for an athame, a found stick or a needle for a wand (or even your finger), a bowl you own for an offering dish or a general container while working.

Divination

For divination, there are a lot of ways to do it without buying tools. A bowl filled with water or a candle flame can be used for scrying. Dream magic can be used for prophetic dreams. A pendulum just needs to be something with weight suspended using something else - a stone tied to a string, a piece of fruit suspended with hair, a necklace you have, there are all kinds of options. For cartomancy, if you have a deck of cards you can use that, looking up the ways it translates to divination, or you can make your own tarot deck or deck of playing cards to use. I’ve heard from others who have tried this method that it generally works best if you have a decent understanding of the cards’ meanings when making them, but that it isn’t required to get a functional result. You can draw your own runestones and put them in one of the jars mentioned earlier to draw them out of. Palm-reading is a popular and common method of divination that doesn’t require anything but a pair of hands. You can even explore less common methods of divination, like reading bird flight, lightning patterns, bibliomancy, or by the shapes of shadows. There are quite literally hundreds of methods of divination created and practiced throughout history, despite the handful of major methods commonly practiced in the modern day - feel free to get creative.

Learn

You can also always learn about the theory of witchcraft if you aren’t currently in a place where you feel you can practice it. There are hundreds of witchcraft books available online in PDF format, and if you have a public library near you, chances are they might have a few books in the nonfiction section (if you live somewhere that uses the Dewey Decimal System, it’s usually in the 000s). Depending on the rules, some bookstores will also allow you to spend time in the store and read, and a growing number are carrying books on witchcraft.

For a more hands-on approach, you can also try learning from the tools and materials you intend to use. There are quite a few practice exercises around out there describing how to sense the energy of the elements, plants, etc, and I covered how you might get your hands on things like that for free earlier.

I know it is frustrating when you want to get the same tools and supplies as everyone else but those specific tools cost more than can be justified - I’ve been there myself. But when that happened, I looked to the past to see what alternatives could be used and to fellow witches about their solutions to the problem, so I hope this (incomplete) list can help you too! Best wishes!

ION 3 SPOILERS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

my theories/cool details in ION 3 because that episode was beautiful and I cried and I got sick and I loved it with the entirety of my little heart

.

.

Nothing of note here, save for the CANON NAMES HELLO... but also this is a BEAUTIFULLY drawn control room like oh my gosh

.

.

the bird appears again, but as a necklace this time <3

.

.

the date is August 31st 1989, at least in this part...

.

.

This message from Anne to Chief (Wardell) leads me to suspect that he actually had a lot of involvement in the project orange herald keeps talking about. Interestingly orange herald does say fusing them with objects was a bit of a mistake, so who even knows what the original project was about?

Anyway, I wonder if this is part of the (many) reasons he feels so guilty to Cracklin - because he knew. Because he knew something was going to happen and he let it.

.

.

could have been the lighting here but yellow tongue :P

.

.

Anne seems to canonically have some sort of interest in the beginnings of the nuclear race (yes, it technically started in WWII) and/or in the founder of quantum mechanics. Over here is a book about Heisenberg, a pretty famous German physicist known for inventing and assisting in the latter.

.

.

I don't know what this candy is but I want to eat it. Also the Lucky cat <33 I love it!

.

.

Anne eats what I think is takeout canonically I respect that

.

.

YOUNGER STAFF + ANNE AWWW...also this girl has so many plants in her office it's so fun I love it I love Anne wahhh

Does the facility have PWRs? The gif in the background is one of my favorites by the way

Everything You Need to Know About Crystals: Bloodstone

Bloodstone (The Blood of Purification)

Color: Green with bright red splatter. Some have white mixed in

Rarity: Easy to obtain

Hardiness: 7

Type: Chalcedony

Chakra Association: Root, Heart, Solar Plexus, and Sacral

Deities: Brigid, Dione, Persephone, Christ (believed to be his blood in Christian mythology)

Birthstone: March

Astrological Signs: Aries, Pisces, Libra

Element: Fire

Planet: Mars

Origin: Australia, Brazil, China, India, USA

Powers: Open Doors and Remove Walls, Prosperity, Strength, Courage, Purification, Vitality

Crystals It Works Well With: Red jasper, Black Tourmaline, Hematite, Amethyst

How It is Created: Bloodstone is a variety of chalcedony quartz with a distinctive dark green color combined with specks and clumps of red jasper inclusions

History: The distinct blood red marks within the stone are often used for talismans because it is believed that the stone protect one from evil spirits. In medieval times, it was believed the blood specks came from the blood of Christ while he was being crucified as his blood dripped down onto the rocks. Legends such as the tale of Percival, one of King Arthur’s knights who went on the quest for the Holy Grail, illustrate the combined qualities of bloodstone. Percival was a knight trained in the physical aspects of combat, but his quest took him into the spiritual realms, teaching him lessons about illusion and the power of unconditional love. In ancient times, it was believed that this stone could heal, banish negativity, and guide people who were lost. It was worn by warriors on their arms to help heal wounds during battle and to stop the bleeding quickly. It was also worn on the breast of a warrior to feel them with courage and strength. It was said to keep their morals high, even after very heavy casualties.

What It Can Do:

Banish evil spirits and negativity

Heal wounds and one’s mental state

Used to draw money and increase wealth

Clams fear and anger

Ensures victories in legal battles

Balances and ground the energy in one’s heart to promote action

Gives courage and teaches on how to avoid dangerous situations

Heal the ancestral line

Benefits blood-rich organs, regulates and supports blood-flow, and aids in circulation

Egyptians believed it shrank tumors

How to Get the Best Out Of: Wearing it as a bracelet or something on the arm area and a necklace near the heart is a great way to utilize bloodstone to its full potential as it works well near the bloodstream and blood-rich organs like the heart.

How to Cleanse and Charge: Cleanse it by running it under water or bury it in your garden for a deeper clean. Charge it by placing it under a full moon or using green and red candles around it.

Crystal Grid:

General Well Being

Layout: Lemniscate

1 clearing crystal

1 light-bringing crystal

1 immune-balancing crystal

Crystals to Use:

Bloodstone

Green Aventurine

Que Sera (Llanoite)

Quantum Quattro

Cherry, Rose, Smoky, or Emerald Quartz

Hold your crystals in your hands and state your intention for the grid.

Lie down.

Place a clearing crystal beneath your feet (sit up to do so).

Place a light-bringing crystal above your head.

Place an immune-balancing crystal halfway up your breastbone over the

higher heart chakra.

Use the power of your mind to connect the lemniscate over and around you.

Remain in the grid for five to fifteen minutes, focusing your attention and breathing gently

into the immune-balancing crystal. If you become aware of energy that needs to shift out of

your body, send it down to the crystal at your feet for transmutation.

Remove the crystals in the reverse order in which you laid them, then cleanse them

Heart and Immune System

Layout: Lemniscate

1 grounding crystal for the feet

1 pinkish-burgundy crystal or immune stimulator

1 emerald-green crystal or immune soother

Crystals to Use:

Emerald

Emerald Quartz

Fuchsite

Cherry Quartz

Rose Quartz

Ruby

Garnet

Green Aventurine

Lepidolite

Bloodstone

Que Sera

Quantum Quattro

Hematite Quartz

Hold your crystals in your hands and state your intention for the grid.

Sit down on the floor.

Place a grounding crystal at your feet.

Lie down fully.

Place one crystal above the heart on the higher heart

(thymus) chakra.

Place one over the heart seed at the base of the breastbone.

Check your heartbeat—it will quickly indicate which crystal should be placed above, and which below. If your heartbeat feels too rapid or is pounding heavily, or if it feels too slow and heavy, switch the crystals around.

Use the power of your mind or a crystal wand to trace the lemniscate, crossing the circles over your heart.

If dizziness results, breathe deeply and send the energy down toward the crystal at your feet for transmutation.

When the layout is complete, remove the crystals in the reverse order in which you laid them. Stand up slowly and ground yourself by stamping your feet.

Why is Aventurine Preservation-Imaginary?

(The real answer is, it's probably just HoYo filling out the path/element roster, but we'll play along!)

We'll tackle his element first. It's not the easier of the two, but it's the one with less info to sort through. The basic element types are:

Elements: wind, fire, ice, lightning

Sorta-abstract: quantum, imaginary

Physical: physical

It's a pretty funny system, all things considering. Here's Gepard, he can summon a massive wall of ice through will alone! Here's Dr. Ratio, he can make a massive tower just by thinking it into existence! Oh and here's Luka. Ordinary human. Pretty good at boxing.

(Not including Trailblazer here - probably the stellaron helps her swing that bat extra hard or something.)

And in the middle, you have Guinaifen, Hook, and Serval, who use the element but do not create it from scratch. For example, Serval is conceivably using electricity from her electric guitar.

Most of the elements are pretty self-explanatory, but Quantum and Imaginary are a bit more abstract. What are these types? What do they mean?

Quantum: technology, information, data, uncertainty

In my mind, Silver Wolf is the classic quantum character. She uses hacking to change data. In her hands, the data is always shifting. Fu Xuan is another direction that quantum can go - she's a diviner, and her job is peering into the future and making sense of the uncertainty. And then Qingque has elements of both: she works in divination, and also there is uncertainty in each hand of Celestial Jade.

Imaginary: Logic, abstraction, math/physics/metaphycs, theology

For some reason, Imaginary feels to me like dealing with the grand existential questions. There's Dr. Ratio on one end, knowledge is the measure of all things, and then there's Luocha with religious symbolism all over him, the devils, the church, the insanity in his character story, healing you with a cross necklace. Welt with his black hole - there's some kind of physics in there!

But this seems more like a philosophy than an element in battle. So in practice, what Imaginary characters have in common most of all is summoning miscellaneous objects 😅 black holes, dragons, chalk, etc.

So on that note, Aventurine fits right in, summoning dice and coins all over the place! Watch your he-ead~ 🎶🎵

I would've expected Aven to be Quantum. All the RNG in his kit. . . all the gambling, all the uncertainty. . . it seems more alike Qingque's tile suits. He even has card suits on his shields!

Perhaps the Imaginary is more about his character. Much of his story is intensely existential - what's the good of his blessing when everyone he loves is gone; why are we born if it's just to die. Perhaps he brings not just another answer, but a new way to see the question—not Why am I here, but All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

A more direct question that he himself discusses is why he's Preservation. We know he was offered the chance to become a Masked Fool, and seek Elation - the pursuit of happiness. Yet he turned it down.

As his alter-ego says, he and Preservation have nothing in common.

Interestingly, he also gives himself the answer.

He didn't choose the Preservation. Aventurine chose the IPC.

But wait—aren't the IPC the bad guys?

It is fascinating to me when people make out the IPC to be the villain of this tale, or talk about him "escaping" the IPC as if he's being held hostage. Not only did he choose the IPC, he gambled everything, including his life, just for a sliver of a chance to join them.

They didn't kill his family, enslave him, brand him, or make him kill 34 other slaves. Certainly, the IPC has used Aventurine's talents and self-destructive behavior to their benefit, and is not particularly concerned with what becomes of him. They are big, corporate, and easy to hate. But they are also not the cause of his tragedy.

It's not the IPC, but rather the Katicans, that kill Kakavasha's family. His sister describes them as "bloodthirsty, cruel, and insatiably greedy." Personally I can’t say with confidence that the Katicans are villains without knowing their full history, but either way, the conflict is between the Avgins and the Katicans.

My feeling is that the IPC is amoral - they are not actively out to do harm, but neither will they go out of their way to avoid or prevent it. They are focused primarily on profit. Sometimes that means taking over a planet against the people's will. Sometimes that means making gambles. . . or sacrifices. Other times, it means hosting an Aetherium event.

So, why does Aventurine choose the IPC? What's interesting to me is, he isn't a slave to the IPC in any sense - not even in the lack-of-choice sense of Topaz's planet. He had a choice. He could have become a Masked Fool. So, why?

It all comes back to this:

"Go ahead, use me as you wish, even stab me in the back if you see fit. Exploitation and treachery are simply tools of the trade. But remember, I don't make deals that don't pay off... So, I hope you don't disappoint me."

The IPC is a tool to him, a means to an end. He expects that the IPC will use him, and in exchange he intends to use the IPC.

But to what end?

It's got to be something big. He could have become a refugee or an ordinary IPC employee, and instead he took the risk of lying about Tayzzynronth's remains. He let himself be arrested and brought to Jade. "I bet you won't send me to the gallows." Death was a possibility, so it had to be worth that risk.

My guess is that he wanted to save the Avgin people.

(And in this sense, Preservation is his true path after all.)

His sister tells him, "As long as you are alive, the blood of the Avgin will never run dry." Perhaps his goal was to save the remaining Avgin people, bring them away from the land of rock and sand and hardly any rain, and give them a home where they could prosper. Or to environmentally transform his home the way the IPC transformed other planets. To do that, he'll need more money and power than an IPC grunt's income. But with a Stoneheart's power, the IPC's money, and the Intelligentsia Guild's knowledge, he could make that happen.

(It feels off. It feels like too simple of an answer.)

But the Avgin people are all gone. Aventurine specifically says there aren't any left. Now that his reason is gone, what will become of him?

In a way, he does offer us an answer.

Aventurine: There will come a day when the sky will drizzle, and I will hear the call of Gaiathra Triclops and know that it is time for me to go and be reunited with my family. Aventurine: So until the time comes... I should be preparing. Kakavasha: Preparing for what? Aventurine: Preparing to face them, Kakavasha, and to make them proud.

He will go on to live a good life. What form will it take?

I don't think he can ever completely shake off the responsibility of being the last surviving Avgin. It would be quite a leap for him to settle down and have a family, so perhaps he'll have to pass it forward some other way. Either by preserving the culture (another museum management event?) or by dedicating his wealth and power to saving other peoples.

The thing about being somewhere is, you can't help but grow into it, and it grows around you. And now, he has. . . allies who are a bit closer to friends than he might think.

He has two coworkers who willingly handed over their cornerstones for his plan—cornerstones more precious than life itself. He seems to genuinely look out for Topaz (advising her against getting involved in Belobog), and she talks about him cheerfully during 2.1. And I am sure that bringing him into the IPC was a significant personal risk for Jade, especially since he'd already caused the IPC a major financial loss. For Jade and Topaz, he has—if not their trust, at least their respect in his abilities.

And he has the Intelligentsia Guild's top Mundanite fussing over his survival. Not for the Avgin bloodline, and not for profit or the success of a mission. Acheron refers to Ratio as his “friend”, and he doesn’t bother to deny it.

He has three allies/maybe-friends involved in a grand scheme with him, and isn't there something addicting about scheming together? Something as marvelous as what the Trailblazer has with the Express? So, I don't think he'll leave the IPC anytime soon. He carved out this path with his bare hands, made a life and a purpose for himself, and even made some friends along the way. Now, it's time to live it.

Okay……..I just thought of something that is absolutely FUCKING CRAZY for the Aligned Continuity and it’s weirdly bilingual child characters.

You guys remember how in Transformers Prime, Rafael could understand what Bumblebee was saying, meaning he could understand Universal? And how in Rescue Bots Cody could understand what Bumblebee was saying, which meant he could understand Universal two? I know it’s not confirmed but, also in Rescue Bots Dr. Elma Hendrickson somehow found a quantum crystal and was about to build a time machine. Not to mention the Greene family, mainly Ezra Greene, Anna Baronova, and Cece, are seriously smart. Cece might be even smarter than her dad tbh.

And now, do you guys remember how Salvage helped a bunch of cave people from getting hurt by the asteroids, and how, I think, a couple of them had energon necklaces like Ira the caveman when he thawed?

What if, and I seriously mean WHAT IF - Raf, Cody, maybe Elma, maybe Cece, are descendants of the cave people that Salvage saved?….

Hear me out, maybe those energon necklaces somehow became….a part of them, like their energy fields affected the ancient peoples so much it became a part of them, and manifested themselves within their DNA or auras. To the point where if they did lose them, they would still be with them, ya know? Then a bunch of history stuff happens, and their bloodlines are scattered, and those bloodlines became the Esquivels, the Burns, the Hendricksons, and the Greenes(or maybe the Baranovas).

Also, let’s talk about the friggin LADY OF GRIFFIN ROCK. She is literally RIGHT THERE. It’s like the producers want me to think that she came into possession of an energon crystal that she inherited from her ancestors that she later passed down to her son. And when her son and husband set out on that boat there was an incident, in which the crystal might’ve been the source of, and due to her being the most exposed to the crystal it became a part of her and made her into a ghost due to her Indomitable Human Spirit TM.

And like, through pure coincidence they’ve all been drawn back to Griffin Rock, or any Cybertronian activity in general.

It’s the Aligned Continuity, we’ve seen crazier.

I SUMMON THEE!!! @novafire-is-thinking @viewer-of-many @luciolefire @geluatekurama

Modern (Academic) AU - Nevermore

This modern AU is my extension of modern AU headcanon* where Lenore and Annabel are PhD students in rival research groups at the university of two rival faculties (Physics and Mathematics) that need to share a building because of low funding. Since PhD school is kinda like purgatory on its own so it's quite a fitting setup imo.

>> Lenore's a physicist (specialization: Particle Physics and Programming), while Annabel's a mathematician (specialization: Statistics and Algorithms)

>> They met just before the start of the PhD programs while volunteering as counsellors at a summer science camp organized by their university for high school students

>> They shared a room and bonded over the excitement of beginning the PhD programs, their academic interests, their love for games etc. But it wasn't long before their relationship evolved into something more and soon after they started dating

>> Lenore's style could be described as edgy/rebel but started to dress smarter (like a nice shirt and pants and sometimes a tie too) for the job, while Annabel's is more preppy with floral accents and always wears a small raven-shaped necklace Lenore's got her for their second date

>> Since starting dating Annabel, Lenore started incorporating floral motives into her wardrobe as well (like floral patterned shirts, ties, socks etc.)

>> Lenore's out and proud but her parents disowned her at the beginning of her studies. Luckily she has some rich grandma/grandpa who could financially support her. Her older brother Theo used to be in the same PhD program but before graduation, he disappeared.

>> Annabel is still in the closet.

>> They're both super talented and are soon deemed rising stars of their departments

>> In Lenore's team there are also four other PhD students: Duke, Berenice, Eulalie and Pluto, and they all share the same workroom at the University

>> Duke is Lenore's closest friend; their desks are next to each other and they hit the gym together on a regular basis

>> Annabel's team consists of another PhD student Prospero (who is this stereotype of math purist that looks down on other fields because "Mathematics is the purest form of science" 🤢) and Will, annoying secretary Ada who thinks she's better because she's working at university (she handles the documents and other papers for real scientist but she still thinks she's the next Marie Skłodowska-Curie). There's also a postdoc Monty, who no one likes and no one is sure who hired him (he's a little shady). There's also a Master's degree student Morella (who did her Bachelor's degree at the Faculty of Physics -and she knows the gang from Lenore's group - but switched for Master to Mathematics)

>> Both of their groups research quantum computing but because of the lack of funding they have to fight with each other for the money and rivalry evolves into people despising each other

>> The Deans don't want to do anything with that because they find this whole drama entertaining.

>> Both girls want to go to the same Institute in Europe for their postdocs so Annabel comes up with a plan to get them both jobs at that Institute that includes them pretending to hate each other

>> Everyone knows about the beef of unknown origin between the two most promising PhD candidates

>> Lenore is that kind of TA that gives off an "older sibling"/"cool uncle"/"bad boi" vibe, she rides a cool motorbike every day and the students simply adore her! Some even have an obvious crush on her and try to flirt with her but Lenore is really awkward and such a simp for Annabel lee she interprets it as them being nice/buttering her up for a better grade

>> Annabel on the other hand is pretty much a "ice queen" of the department she's respected for her work but also people low-key (high-key) fear her. She also (but you didn't hear it from me) tends to go harder on students she knows who tried to hit on her pet. But you can't prove her anything.

>> Once a week Lenore has the whole work room for herself and that's when Annabel sneaks out for lunch dates with her gf to talk about each other's day, hold hands and steal a kiss or two

>> However one day Eulalie almost walks in on them but Annabel quickly dived under Lenore's desk. Lenore tried to act normal while Eulalie was looking on her own desk for some papers she forgot earlier.

"You must be really hungry today, Lenore." Said Eulalie.

"Wha- Why would you think that???" All but shouted flustered Lenore.

"Because you're eating chocolate pancakes AND a chicken sandwich" Eulalie pointed to the two meals on Lenore's desk "Weird combination if you ask me... But if you like eating that way I guess that works too." then she leaves.

>> Both Annabel and Lenore are gamers but of a different kind. Annabel loves every strategy game and streams her gameplay in her free time. She is also an international champion in online chess. She and Lenore often play chess together but Annabel always wins. They make a deal that if Lenore would ever win against Annabel the loser will grant a winner one wish.

>> Lenore on the other hand loves tabletop games - especially RPGs. And she DMs a homebrew D&D campaign for the gang + Morella.

>> (Of course when Lenore asked the gang to name their D&D party they chose "Misfits")

>> Lenore feels guilty for lying to her friends and tells Annabel so, to which her gf responds by hugging her and saying something like "I'm sorry, pet, I know it's hard for you but it has to be done... Our future dream jobs depend on it. We are doing this for us and after all... they still are our competition on the job market... no matter how much we might like them or not."

>> After the first year they move in together into the small apartment

>> And they have these cute moments like cooking together, making lunches for one another, Annabel helping Lenore to tie a tie in the morning, Lenore giving Annabel massages when she comes back home all sore after a whole day walking in heels, both girls pulling all-nighter grading students' tests or doing some studying themselves and taking turns making coffee, etc.

>> Now that Lenore's got her own place she hosts most of the D&D sessions for the gang (to not raise any suspicions).

>> Before every session the girls need to clean their apartment of any evidence of their relationship and when the gang comes over Annabel stays in her streaming room playing games/doing some work. Lenore tells her friends that she has this weirdo-roommate that almost never leaves their room and they're better not to be bothered with.

>> All this work, however, goes in vain, when Pluto unexpectedly comes over to Lenore's flat to ask for help with some work before his first conference. To make things worse the girls were expecting the delivery guy to bring them their food that evening. Imagine Pluto's surprise when the person who opened the door was no other but the Ice Queen herself wearing sports shorts and a worn-me-down t-shirt and behind her Lenore was sitting on a sofa.

>> After a while girls manage to calm hyperventilating Pluto down, they ask him to keep it a secret. Pluto wasn't too keen on lying but Annabel managed to persuade him not to tell anyone. He agreed but only if Lenore will come clean about her and Annabel lee relationship.

>> So before the next session Lenore finally tells the rest of the gang the truth. There's feeling of betrayal, some tears and lots of shouting because they (especially Duke) are hurt that Lenore has lied to them.

>> There's some drama and silence treatment towards Lenore for a couple of weeks but it made everyone even more miserable so they eventually all reconcile.

>> At first the gang remains sceptic towards Annabel lee but after some time they welcome her to the group. She occasionally joins them for D&D sessions or board game nights (when everyone fights to be with her in the same team because Annabel gets really competitive and her team always wins no matter the game).

>> Annabel finally has a support system she so needed in her life and that's so wholesome

>> Annabel and Lenore's third anniversary was at the same time as a conference in Cambridge both girls were selected to represent their teams on

>> During free time Annabel took Lenore on a walk around Trinity Colledge (the place where Isaac Newton - a great mathematician and physicist - studied) and proposed to Lenore there (she of course said "yes")

>> Later on that day Lenore asked Annabel to play chess with her to which Annabel gladly agreed

>> Lenore wins

>> Annabel asks "Very well done, pet. I'm impressed with your strategy. So what do you wish for?" Lenore takes Annabel's hand and looks her straight in the eyes and answers with a sly grin slowly forming on her face "For the Queen's hand in marriage" She pulls the ring box with her other hand "... if she agrees, of course". Annabel almost leaps over the table with the chess board to kiss her soon-to-be-wife.

The end.

It was in my head for a while and I wanted to share it somewhere. I just thought what if instead of repressed Victorians they all were just giant nerds and this is a result of my thinking.

*inspired by this post by @incorrect-nevermore and @spoopy-nevermore-dump (so thank you, guys! I had lots of fun making this shit up XD)

Bonus:

>> Lenore's supervisor is an older detached from reality professor who can't for the life of his remember the names of his assistants, so he calls Lenore "Lenny", Duke "David/Damian", Eulalie "Eugene", Berenice "Veronica" and Pluto "Matthew" (for some unknown reason). At first, the gang was annoyed by it but it quickly transformed into an inside joke between the misfits and they even have each other's contacts saved under those names.

With the Millennium Items being divided between affinity for shadows (Eye, Rod, Ring) and light (Necklace, Key, Scales) and the Puzzle acting as a balance between them by wielding both, it made me wonder where the Pyramid of Light and Quantum Cube fall on the spectrum. Given the Pyramid explicitly uses shadows and light, and the Cube started light but became corrupt, they’re probably in the ‘both’ category too.

Bottom: Likes jeans that are either black or dark blue. Rarely wears dresses and skirts, only on special occasions

Shoes: Likes sneakers and sometimes boots in black or brown

Accessoires: Doesn't wear much except small earrings and maybe a necklace sometimes

Childhood: 

Family: She grew up in a loving home with a mom, a dad and a brother. Most of her time as a child was spent with one of her family members.  

She often accompanied her father to his secret workplace (that nobody knew about) and learned all the secrets of his actual work(place). From a young age, he taught her about computer science, programming and AI. Luce had always been a nerd about many topics. But what her father had to tell, was her favorite one of all. 

Her brother Adam was obsessed with quantum physics. She also spent quite some time with him. Either playing or listening to what he had to say. Sadly, it all had to end when he began his studies and had barely any time for her (much to his regret, he loved his little sister).

Her mother was an astrophysicist. Similar to the other family members, Dorothy taught her many things too. She was the one who took care of her the most. They would spend many nights outside in the garden. They would set up a camp and a very good telescope to watch the stars and planets very closely.

When nobody was home, especially when she was younger, her uncle and aunt took care of her often. A love for science seemed to run in their family. Then they were a neuroscientist and an anthropologist. You can guess how they entertained Luce.

School: Luce was homeschooled. It does not come as a surprise that Luce would have been underwhelmed if she stayed at a normal school. She didn't solve complicated math equations at five years old, but she definitely already understood how to multiply numbers up to 100. Teachers also often got frustrated with her. She would always ask them the kind of questions she would ask at home, and always wanted to learn something that was not age appropriate.

Her parents could afford it and even knew a teacher personally, who would become Luce's teacher for quite a few years. He too helped raise her of sorts.

Friends: Being homeschooled, Luce didn't make too many friends in her life. She did go to the park occasionally to play with other children, but didn't really make any long lasting connections. Additionally, she would also be rejected sometimes. After all, she was a kid who they knew didn't fit into their school, meaning she was not seen as one of them. An outsider. 

As she got older she knew that she really lacked something during her childhood.

Conclusion: Luce had a wonderful homelife, but wasn't good at making deeper friendships, therefore having weaker social skills.

Relationships:

Bluctro: Boyfriend

Dethra: New friend

Michael: Father

Dorothy: Mother

Adam: Brother

Jacob: Uncle

Sophie: Aunt

Martin: Uncle, but haven't interacted with each other much.

Personality:

Type: INTJ/Architect (possibly)

Definition: The INTJ personality type is Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, and Judging, which means they are energized by time alone, focused on big picture ideas and concepts, led by logic and reason, and organized. This combination of personality preferences produces people who are analytical, innovative, and strategic. 

Interview: The Luce from this interview will be from the year 2093, so her personality might be a little different. Though I might make one for 2045. I will link it in here too.

Origins:

Protoversions:

1: I think it began when I was about seven years old. Like most little girls, I thought stuff like fairies and superpowers were super cool! So I imagined a hero who was something like that. She could fly, had fairy wings (sometimes) and was a robot. Fun fact: The robot part was inspired by Lego NInjago's Zane. I remember there was that one scene, where he opened his chest and revealed the mechanical parts inside. Protoversion 1 liked to do the same. Now, this little world I had was purely fantasy, no science fiction yet. (I didn't see being a robot as Sci fi as a kid). Protoversion 1 was an absolute Mary Sue. She had all the powers in the world! You see, there were a bunch of hearts inside her torso, every single one of them holding a different power: Fire, water, lighting, poison and maaaany more! Silly seven year old me…

2: When I was about ten or eleven years old, I absolutely fell in love with astronomy. I was obsessed! All I wanted was space, the universe and the cosmos. Logically, this is where my new fantasy world began to take place. Protoversion 2 didn't have wings anymore and wasn't a robot anymore either. But they were the queen of a star system. I think I must have had something with elements and stuff like that, because the system had a bunch of planets that were all themed after different elements and other stuff like that. They even had names! I drew a picture of it all these years ago:

With Protoversion 2, Sci fi elements began to take place, though it still was a world that was mostly fantasy. (Verum was meant to start 2000 years in the future, where they live in space)

3: Protoversion 2 didn't exist long, then she soon was replaced by 3. I think I was about 11 or 12 years old. And oh god was I weird and edgy! Ewgghhhh! (I mean, I'm probably still slightly edgy, but I was serious about that shit during that time!!!) I had the wonderful idea to create a secret organization! They were called the Spreatures, which is a mix between spirit and nature. At the time, I believed in subliminals and that humans had powers buried deep inside of them. And the Spreatures used these powers to help save the world! Their leader was called XVerum and later just Verum. Verum is the Latin word for truth. Today's Verum doesn't actually associate with that meaning though.

4/Verum: I suddenly changed all my views when I was about 13 years old and the actual Verum came to be! My nerdy ass couldn't leave science alone and changed up the whole world again. This time: Space, robots, aliens and the attempt to be scientifically accurate. When I was 14, I think, I began writing the first three parts of Verum as a final school project.  The first part was called How to be Immortal and it was what I call a Bridge today. This bridge played 2000 years in the future though.  The second part was Birth of a Digital Mind, which is actually the third part in Verum I: The Awakening. Discovery of the Undead and Interdimensional Beings was the third and last part. How one might notice, this part obviously had fantasy elements. Verum was at the very beginning supposed to be Sci fi fantasy, but I scrapped that idea. This is the first drawing of Verum:

Luce Balton: Verum obviously needed an actual name, especially if I wanted to write about her before she became Verum. I attempted to write the beginning of the book 2000 years in the future. But it didn't work. So what do you do, when you don't know how to begin a story? You jump two millennium into the past to tell the whole fucking story from the beginning! Fucking hell… This is the first drawing of Luce:

If you have any questions about Luce, ask away in the comments or in a reblog! I will put your question and my answer in this post.

Old pictures of my altar to chaos. I wonder why I didn't have nyarlathotep and the headless apollo together...maybe it's a batman/Bruce Wayne situation.

I put the idols into my axolotl tank. It didn't last long, as I discovered the paint would chip, and that the apollo bust was plaster and dissolved. I learned the hard way that I wasn't equipped to care for them properly. Nyarlathotep got some nice crust going though...I'm sorry Shoggoth, Yig, and Zoth.

In order: My Pythagorean cup of chaos, My tome of eternal chaos.

I still haven't found my Tiamat necklace, or my apple of discord pin, and my hand of eris pin. I shouldn't be so dependent on such small things to be myself. But representation matters. Maybe I should dedicate my flesh one day. But what would I even put? I regret almost all of my tattoos. I'd do a cover-up, for sure. The mantle of chaos upon my skin as much as I feel it in my marrow.

Y'know I never did check the source(s) for saying that mortals were made from Tiamat's blood. Mother of dragons, and gods, and all she's remembered for is her death. Y'know what gave birth to gods? Titans. Y'know what gave birth to titans? Chaos. Y'know what gave birth to chaos? Nothing! GET IT?

OH! If nothing comes from nothing for all time and eternity then the most unexpected and chaotic thing that could happen is chaos from nothing. Else, there's a whole lot of nothin going on right now.

OH! Right, the paradox of quantum entropy, or the 'entropy isn't disorder' argument. Based on my reading of reichenbach's The Direction of Time , entropy is just a measure of possible states of a system. So, if a system is (x,y,z) then it has more entropy than (x,y). This definition can be used in a quantum mechanical perspective where (x) is a pure state, and (x,y...a) a mixed state. Now, suppose everything is a result of different quantum states. This means that a quark is a sum of quantum states, a proton a sum of quarks, an atom a sum of particles, a molecule a sum of particles, and so on and so forth, yeah? With this in mind, it means quantum entropy goes up as we go through different scales because each change of scale adds more to the whole thing. However, there's a point where things just...look like life, right? If entropy was disorder, we would expect absolute fucking madness, no? We'd have a lot of possible states going on if we just go to the atomic level because of all the sub-atomic quantum states. To me it just means this, everything is chaos, but it sure doesn't look like it! I'm looking at a mind boggling coincidence. Pardon my English. I believe there's a measurable function between scales that normalises possible states as quantum entropy goes up. So there's a measure between the entropy of scale A to entropy of scale B, which explains why this state is happening rather than that state which would account as to why we seemingly experience things in an orderly fashion. But, anyways, who cares? Words words words, weeeee!

Also, Eris is the fairest. WAIT, no, my wife is the fairest. Shit, If I've spurned love, wisdom, power, and chaos...Am I courting mortality? Meh, potato po-tato.

Right! My grail!

Drank some wonderful communion from it.

Two hours writing again.

Posterity is nice.

[catholickedd]

so this is the first in a series of short stories i'm creating based off songs on my spotify playlist. you can find the masterpost here. this one is inspired by wasteland, baby by hozier. hope you enjoy :))))

And the balding man at the news desk proclaimed the end of the world.

And the nuclear alarm sirens screamed in every place there were human ears to hear.

And leaders in every country gave the orders.

And she was too busy tracing the wrinkles on their fingers to notice.

"It never happens to me, you know." she said, softly, slowly, without a care.

"You've got some sort of magical power, then." they replied. She could hear the smile in their voice.

"Does it hurt?"

"No, not really. Not unless it's really bad."

"That's good." It was unbelievably soft, almost a breath through moving lips.

"I was reading about this thing, the other night. They call it quantum entanglement."

"Yeah?"

"These little particles, they, they can be trillions and trillions of miles away from each other, but they still move at the same speed, and if one is changed, the other is changed too. They're entangled. They're entwined. But, if they're observed, it all breaks. It's all over."

"That's pretty sad. Good thing there won't be anyone to observe them soon."

She ran a finger through their ginger curls. They needed a haircut. It was growing past their ears.

"We'll lie here forever, you know. When aliens come, and they look at the Earth, and they try to figure out what went so awfully wrong here - " they pressed a soft kiss to her forehead " - my bones will still be holding yours."

"Do you think, when we go, we'll be together?"

"Are you asking me if I think there's a heaven?"

"More like, a void. Like if our consciousness can escape our bodies. If they do, y'know, do you think I'll be with you?"

"I'd find you. Even if I had to crawl my way up from hell."

She kissed them, tried to make it last as long as she could. And their chain necklaces were tangled in her fingers, and their skin was soft under her hands.

And the sky turned a most beautiful shade of purple. If she had looked up, she would have been paralyzed, staring at the beauty. But she didn't open her eyes.

And the sky became the earth and the earth became the sky, and everything broke and began again, folding into itself, everywhere.

And even when nothing remained, something remained.

"I love you," sighed the moon, sang the stars.

"I love you," whispered the galaxy, cried the nebulae.

And they kept their promise. And they found her. And trillions and trillions of miles away from each other, she and they were still entangled.

And so it began again.

Sizeshifter!Miguel Character Notes

Making good on my promise to post some of my Spiderverse G/t stuff in the tag, here's the first bit of stuff I'll be sharing: some character/lore notes for my Sizeshifter!Miguel.

This is the concept I've workshopped the least out of all my Spiderverse G/t so far, so for now it's basically a collection of character notes instead of a full profile/storyline as of yet, but I hope it's still a fun read. Enjoy, my fellow size difference enjoyers.

Name: Miguel O'Hara ("Teyo" or "Tabor" at work)

Age: 31

Height: variable, hovers somewhere between 5 feet and 7 feet tall, usually

-Comes from a universe where Miguel got sizeshifting powers instead of spider powers

-Was a physicist instead of a geneticist

-An experiment went haywire, resulting in him getting catapulted out of his multiverse and through several others, resulting in the laws of physics not quite working right for him again when he returned to his home dimension

-He'd been massively quantum-displaced, gaining the power to mass shift whilst ignoring the square-cube law, able to grow and shrink in size without limit without biological consequence

-Unfortunately, his accident did not give him CONSCIOUS control of his powers, them instead being controlled unconsciously, fluctuating alongside his emotional and mental state

-Particularly stimulating emotions like anger, fear, panic, or happiness cause him to grow, while sedating emotions such as sadness, despair, and exhaustion cause him to shrink

-Given his highly stressful work life and deep-rooted depression, Miguel had to quickly come up with a solution to control his powers and prevent them from hurting himself or others

-Working alongside his universe's Lyla, he was able to craft a wearable device to help keep his powers in-check

-It appears to be thick black steel choker necklace, but is actually a highly complex device: it has an on-board heart rate monitor, direct hook-ups to Miguel's nervous system, and microneedles for injecting substances to keep him regulated

-When his heart rate or mental state dip too low, the device injects a small dose of modified (non-addictive) Rapture to bring him back to baseline, and when his heart rate increases too much or his mental state starts to get too stimulated, it injects him with a small dose of tranquilizer

-While it works quite well for him, the fact that he has to wear the device and be drugged at all times just to keep his powers vaguely under control doesn't do great things for his mental health. He often refers to the device derisively as his "collar," and is not fond of people pointing it out

-His collar regularly needs to be refilled with drugs and repaired, and these times when it's off/not at full functioning strength are extremely stressful to him, usually manifesting in many small, rapid fluctuations in height, which sometimes comes with nausea

-In general, he views his powers as a curse, and is always looking for new technology to help him better control them

-Works at Spider Society HQ as a engineer and repair man, often working alongside regular Miguel on tech projects and building maintenance

-He was recruited to the Spider Society by accident: his quantum shift resulted in him being mistaken for a Miguel in a nearby dimension to his who had spider powers, but with regular Miguel's permission he joined the Spider Society anyway and helps out around HQ. He also (very rarely) goes on missions, mostly when his specific skillset is needed

-He joined the Spider Society due to believing in regular Miguel's rhetoric about canon events and stabilizing the multiverse...but also out of curiosity towards other timespace-displaced individuals, as well as wanting to snoop on Earth-928's technology to look for further means of controlling his powers

-This Miguel is much lankier and not nearly as jacked as regular Miguel, and has longer, curlier hair. He sometimes pulls his hair back into a short ponytail, and he has ice-blue, almost silver eyes.

-Wears circular, orange-tinted glasses, not for his eyesight but for light-blocking purposes, since he's staring at holoscreens all day at work. The lenses are also specially-treated to act as eye protection when he's welding

-Generally wears casual clothes. Can usually been seen in baggy cargo pants and a slightly-oversized long-sleeve grey shirt, both of which are usually smeared in stains from oil and rust and full of small cuts and holes from getting caught on machinery. Occasionally wears a somewhat oversized, futuristic-looking grey coat, which seems to be a favorite of his

-Goes by a nickname (usually Teyo or Tabor) when he's at HQ to prevent him being mixed up with regular Miguel, since they have very similar voices and personalities and work on similar projects

-Does NOT like being compared to his alternate, as he finds him abrasive and thinks he's too full of himself. The feeling is mutual

-It's not uncommon to hear the two of them arguing as they work on the same piece of broken machinery, yelling over eacother in technobabble, trying to prove the other one wrong...thankfully, the work still gets done

-He's usually very reserved, not letting much emotion or opinion bleed through when he speaks, trying to regulate himself emotionally as much as he can...but push him too much and you'll quickly find out that he has the same sassiness that normal Miguel has, and isn't afraid unleash his some very cutting insults when given the chance

-On the other hand, he also has a much softer side that he rarely shows

-While definitely not an active superhero, Miguel has used his powers on occasion in his home dimension to help people. He has a disguise he wears when doing so that hides his face, keeping his identity a secret

-Over time, he's slowly gained some control over his powers. He can maintain certain heights and slow his size shifts with focus and lack of outside stimuli, which he'll occasionally use at work (shrinking to reach a particularly difficult circuit that needs a repair, growing to move or shift something big or heavy, etc.), but doing so is very physically and mentally taxing and can leave him burnt out afterwards

-That being said, he's very sheepish about his powers and tries not to use them in the presence of others often, partially because he's concerned he'll hurt someone, and partially because he's embarrassed that he has so little control over his powers compared to all the other people around HQ. Everyone else seems to have this superhero business figured out but him, and that fact gets to him a bit

-Knows Spanish, English, and Hebrew, with English as his third language. Sometimes struggles to fully express what he wants to say in English, can get a bit wordy/often comes off as overly formal. MUCH less so in his other two languages

-Has some sensory issues, mostly revolving around texture and touch. Enjoys fluffy and soft textures, and as such his office and his home are full of soft, squishy, and fluffy things for him to hold and rest against

-Catch him turning his collar off after a long, crappy day at work and shrinking down to flop on top of a particularly soft plushie in the big pile of them he has in his room

-Alternatively, big, annoyed Miguel shoving his head down onto his bed and pile of plushies and screaming into it like it's one big pillow as he fills the room

-Has a fondness for techno and trance music, often blasting it loudly when he's working on something to help him focus. Follow what sounds like a rave happening at HQ and you'll probably find him working on something, somewhere

-It's unknown what the current status of his family is. No one is sure whether he has a daughter, a spouse, siblings, anything, not even regular Miguel. He doesn't talk about them much, for some reason

-Will only remove/deactivate/turn down the power on his collar around people he trusts and loves. If he does any of these things around you consider it a high compliment

-When having a particularly bad day he'll let folks he trusts carry him around when he's small. So far it seems only regular Miguel, Jessica Drew, Ben Reilly and a few others Spiderfolk around HQ have earned the privilege

-Alternatively, it's not common to see him big at HQ, but there's been a few times when an Anomaly has gotten loose and wrecked something he was working on, and his temper got the better of him. There's still a massive hole between floors 35 and 38 when he punched a particularly frustrating Anomaly through the floor, no one talks to him about it to his face

-VERY nervous about holding and handling people when he's big, tried not to manhandle people when he can avoid it but sometimes it's necessary to save someone and he's honestly a bit of a nervous wreck the whole time (usually resulting in him inching even taller due to the stress, which only makes it worse)

-His Lyla is different than regular Miguel's: she appears as a thin brunette in a fancy black party dress, usually lounging on a chaise longue or similar, appearing very posh and dramatic. She's very sassy and sometimes downright cruel, not particularly caring whose feelings she hurts, but is also an incredibly useful encyclopedia of data on physics, metaphysics, engineering, and biology, which Miguel often leans on for filling in gaps in his knowledgebase. While the other A.I.s and Spiderfolk around HQ aren't too fond of her, Miguel is very grateful for her existence and is somewhat protective of her, a feeling that's mutual. She's protective of him, advocates for him when his powers go particularly haywire, and is the first to reach out for help on his behalf when he needs it. Her holographic light/colorscheme is a light blue, in contrast to regular Lyla's orange

-When he takes off his glasses he's either about to throw hands or cry, proceed at your own risk if you decide to stay and find out which it is

A Frosty Surprise

Cisco x reader x Frost, afab/femme

Warnings: Daddy kink, Mommy kink, fingering, oral (r giving), breeding mention, overstimulation

Words: 4.1K+

It had been months since you and Cisco started dating. Although, it felt like ages. There were moments where you caught yourself staring at him during team debriefings. 

All of the rest of the team would tease you two. Harry especially, he'd make comments on how you two rivaled the love of the Scarlet Speedster and Lady Flash themselves. 

Frost wasn't too far behind him either. Except her comments were of the, less than savory variety. She'd come into the cortex boasting about how she knew exactly what you liked after overhearing you and Cisco. 

Barry was the only one who really kept his remarks to himself. However, you knew that the protector of Central City had some comments by the way he would give you knowing looks whenever you two would be late for work. 

"So, on the agenda today, we need to find a way to get Amunet back in her cell." Barry spoke amongst the team. 

Cisco had be frantically going over surveillance footage of the night she escaped. "Those cells are supposed to he meta proof, I still don't understand how she got out." He states. 

"Yes, but are they *human* proof? She could've used the same trick Barry used when he and Oliver got all… Quantum Leap on us." You pipe up. 

"God, you're so sexy when you talk movie reference to me." Cisco comments. 

"Alright, you two lovebirds knock it off, we have a serious problem on our hands. Amunet is one of the most dangerous metas we've faced. It's such a shame to see her lose all of the progress she made." Caitlin interjects. 

You knew she was right. You're attention is brought back to the matter at hand. "Well, we know she used to hang around with Goldface. In fact, if my research proves me right, they were dating at one point." You state. A shocked look came from the rest of Team Flash. 

"Yeah, I know, I thought it was weird too." You pause. "The last place Goldface was seen was at Jitters. Thank you metahuman alert app." You finish. 

A smile from Cisco was received. He was always so proud of the app he created. Even after all these years. 

"Alright, everyone suit up." Barry states clapping his hands together. 

All of you, minus Barry, went to the locker room put in place for situations like these. Putting the combination into yours, you look at your shimmering silver outfit. It matched your powerset. 

That powerset being electro-kinesis. You could control the electricity around you. Which made for some cool tricks you and Barry could pull off. His lightning bolts didn't hurt you one bit. 

One by one, you put each article of clothing on. You always finished with the necklace however. It channeled your powers almost to a tee. It was what Cisco designed it for after all. 

Seeing a blue glow from behind you, you knew your boyfriend had opened a breach to Goldface's location. 

Stepping out of the portal, the meta criminal's back in faced towards you. "Hey, Goldie! We gotta talk." You yell. 

"They grow up so fast." Frost, who was to the right of you, commented. 

"You really need to move out. Frost is a bad influence on you." Cisco half-jokes. 

Barry rolls his eyes. "We need information on Ammunet's whereabouts." 

"Wow, brought the whole gang, well, minus Scooby." Goldface lets out a small chuckle. 

"We don't want to fight, but if it comes down to it, we will." Cisco states. 

"You're out of luck. I just so happen to be in a fighting mood right now." He states grabbing his chain made of gold. 

The first person he attempted to hit was Frost but you stood in the way and grabbed it. He hissed in a pain as you sent electric shocks down the lasso of truth knockoff. 

Barry sped around you, getting ready to toss you a lightning bolt. Frost had formed a nice sheen of ice under Goldface. 

When the lightning bolt was ready, you grab it slice through Goldface's heel. He couldn't gain control with the ice beneath him. 

As he stared up, the four of you surrounded him. "Now, information, and maybe we'll think about letting you go." Cisco says while pointing a fist at him. 

Defeated, he finally answers. "Last time I saw her was her club. About a week ago. That's all I know." 

Barry quickly meta-cuffed him and sped him to the pipeline while the three of you made it to Amunet's not so secret club. 

"Frosty! It's been a minute, hasn't it?" A woman's voice ran through your ears from behind. "Oh and you brought… friends. Ah! Vibey and Sparky! The newest meta couple. I could catch a pretty penny for you two."

"Cut the crap, Amunet. Why have you fallen back into your old ways after all of the help we've given you?" Frost demanded. 

"As it turns out, Elsa, being a hero doesn't pay well. If at all, so I decided to rally up what was left of my crew."

Then you hear an all too familiar jingle of metal. Turning around you yell for Frost's attention. Luckily she froze the piece of metal without breaking eye contact with Amunet. 

Amunet looks between you and Cisco and smirks. Crossing her body diagonally, she send shards of metal towards you. 

You dodge out of the way but not before one makes a gash in your arm. That set you off. "Oh, sweetheart, you think a little cut is going to stop me from hauling your ass back to the pipeline?" You retort. 

Your eyes glow silver as you knock all of the power out in the building. This gave Cisco enough time to activate his night vision on the goggles he always wore. 

He could see her in near perfect detail. All it took was a few seconds and a bright stream of blue came out of his fist. He quickly knocks her to the ground right as Barry showed up. With a whoosh, he places some meta-cuffs on her. 

Picking her up, he makes comments that this time she won't get away. 

Now, you were back at S.T.A.R Labs where the four of you were back in your comfy clothes. Not that your super suit was uncomfortable, Cisco makes sure that each suit he produces is as comfortable as possible.

"Where we headed tonight?" Frost asks. 

Sometimes you, Cisco and Frost would hangout after a battle. It was either at you and Frost's place or Cisco's. 

After contemplating for a few moments, the three of you decided at you and Frost's place. 

Heading into the apartment you, Frost and by extension Caitlin, shared, you plop down on the couch. "Fuck, I'm sore." You comment. 

"It's probably that wound you didn't take care of." Caitlin, who now took over the body, comments while she gets out a first aid kit. 

"I told you, I'm fine. Tis but a flesh wound." You reference Monty Python to get a laugh out of Cisco. You were successful.

Rolling her eyes, she attends to the injury on your arm. Searing pain was sent through your body when she wipes around the cut. Then she spreads some iodine on it. More searing pain happened. 

You were lucky Cisco was there to hold your hand during the process. You don't know how you got through most things without him. 

After she wraps a bandage around you, she gives it a soft pat and kiss. "Make sure she takes care of it and cleans it when I'm not around." The doctor instructs. 

"Don't worry, I won't." Cisco stated.

"You did a good job, princess. Both in the field and getting taken care of." He whispers on your ear. 

"Thank you." You respond with a voice crack. He always did have his ways of affecting you. Whether that be him purposely fiddling with something in his hands, or whispering praises in your ear. 

It was like the first day you met him all over again. When you joined the team after your parents kicked you out for fear of 'safety'. You were scared on the corner of the street when Barry found you and brought you back to the team. 

Of course, the first person who caught your eye was Cisco. The handsome long haired nerd you would one day become an item with. 

It hadn't taken long before you fell head over heels for the man. Watching him work really calmed your nerves after your first day on the field. Even back then he always made sure to praise you for doing well. 

Another thing you loved about Cisco was his dedication to the ones he loved most. Whether that be Barry or Frost or even you. He made a point to show just how much he cared about, not only his team, but his family. 

The three of you had beers in your hands, shooting shit about past battles. 

"Yeah, when Oliver showed up to the battle between Barry and Eobard, I almost spat my drink out." Cisco remarked. 

"Too bad I was still dormant in Caity, it would've been great to join in." Frost takes a swig from the bottle. 

"I'm actually shocked you didn't show up earlier, especially after the whole kidnapping thing." Cisco states. 

The ice meta just shrugged her shoulders while leaning back in the couch. Now, you had always found Frost attractive but seeing her like this. Her legs spread apart with her arm over the back of the couch, sent a heat down to your core. 

You ignore it for the time being. You had other things to talk about. "Oh, did you see that Hartley gained control of his parents company?" You inquire. 

"No way! I for sure thought that case was going to bomb." Frost piped up. 

"Yeah! It shocked me too."

"And nothing shocks my babygirl." Cisco put his arm around you, careful not to put too much pressure on the wound. 

You knew he was making a joke based on your powers so you just rolled your eyes. "Oh come on! That was a good one and you know it." The meta exclaimed. 

"I guess the vibes didn't sit well with that one." You remark. 

A playful smack to your thigh was the only response you got. 

Cisco had been teasing you all night, rubbing your thigh and your shoulders with that gentle touch he knew you liked. It really worked you up. 

Taking the last swig of your third beer, you then grab Cisco's hand and lead him to the bedroom. Frost gave her two cents with a comment on using protection. Even though you had been sterile for a long time now. 

It wasn't even two seconds within you closing the door that you two had started tearing each other's clothes off. The kiss that you pulled your boyfriend into was deep and passionate. It was almost like you hadn't seen him in ages. 

He broke the kiss by tossing you on the bed. Climbing over you, he teases your slit with his fingers. "Go on, pretty girl, tell Daddy what you want." He knew you too well.

"Mm, what Daddy to finger me while he rubs my clit." You respond. 

He took the request to heart and in no time you were being stimulated just the way you liked it. 

A few moments of this went by. He would switch from fingering you to rubbing your clit with gentle touches. "You know, princess, I noticed the way you were staring at Frost earlier. I bet you want her so badly, don't you?" He teased. "Why don't I call her in here. Have her help me make you feel good."

Your face ran red hot. The thought of your roommate seeing you like this sent your mind crazy.

"Hey Frost! Come in here for a little while." He yelled. 

It was like she was waiting for this day because she was in the room faster than you can say "Run Barry run."

"I knew she'd be hot but not this hot. God, she sounds so pretty moaning." She comments, making her way to the side of the bed. 

She stands there for a few moments. Admiring how you reacted to Cisco's touches. She got to wondering how wet you had gotten. She reaches her hand out to your cunt. "Can I?" She asks. 

Cisco pulled away. "Be my guest. She's drenched." Frost took the space up between your legs. 

You felt cold fingers slide into your cunt, making you shiver. "S-So cold." You whimper. 

"Oh, sweet little princess. Mommy's got so many surprises for you. Just be patient." She speaks in a soft voice. A softer voice than she normally does.

Her fingers continue to slide in and out of you with ease. Cisco really opened you up for her. It's pretty clear he had been planning this for some time now. 

The brown haired boy fisted his cock ever so slightly at the show in front of him. He loved how pretty you looked with her fingers deep in your pretty cunt. 

A high pitched whine left your throat. She had found your g-spot and she took to abusing it. Reaching up she pinches a nipple between her thumb and index finger. Then she lets her powers activate. The cold felt so good against your heated body. 

Her thumb pressed against your clit, making small but fast circles. Then she takes the hand she was previously using to play with your nipple and lets cold pass along your thigh. You arch your back. 

"Good girl." Frost praises. Considering her demeanor on the field and in the lab, you'd never consider her the praising type. 

She continues abusing the spongey spot inside you, making you whimper and whine. 

"M-Mommy…" You trail off. 

"Yes, pretty girl?" She whispered in your ear. 

"You're making me feel so good. Make me cum, please."

She gains a smirk on her face as she speeds up. "Oh, don't worry, I will. Mommy's got to prepare you for Daddy after all." She looks to Cisco. 

The whole situation was better than you could ever imagine. Again, your back arches. The grip you had on the sheets turned your knuckles white. 

You squealed when she let her fingers grow colder inside you. "You like Mommy being cold inside you, don't you?" She teases. 

"Mhm!" You continue to squeal.

"Gonna cum!" You say as the coil that had been tightening finally snapped. Your right leg shifted upwards on the bed. 

Frost pulled her fingers out and held them up. A smile of glee appeared on her face and her eyes glowed a bright white. It was then Cisco stopped stroking his cock and came over. 

Then he took the silver haired woman's fingers in his mouth. Releasing the final digit with a pop, he looks to you. "Delicious as always, princess." He comments. 

Cisco took Frost's place in between your legs and rubbed the tip of his cock across your sensitive clit. You squirm, trying to get him to fuck you. 

All he did was run his tip up and down your soaked slit. He wanted to get you to beg. Show Frost how pretty you truly sound. 

More teasing and you couldn't take it anymore, in a desperate tone, "Daddy, please fuck me."

"Oh, come on, you can beg better than that. I know you can."

"Please, Daddy, please. Fuck me. Full of your cock and cum. Breed me, like you always do. Please!" You shout. 

That's when he finally slid his cock into you, stretching you perfectly. "There we go, you fit around me exactly right, like a little glove for Daddy's cock." He comments. 

You couldn't look at Frost. Cisco had other plans, however. Gently taking your chin in his hand, he places your gaze on your friend and teammate. She smiles as she slides a hand down her pants and past her panties. 

You then hear a moan come from her. "My little girl looks so good taking my cock, doesn't she?" Cisco questioned. 

Another moan came out of Frost. "Yes she does. So fucking pretty." 

Cisco wanted to show Frost a new usage of his powers he recently discovered. So, he hovers he unoccupied hand over your clit. You then feel strong vibrations, making you mewl. 

The way you felt during this felt like you were on cloud nine. Having your roommate watch you get fucked made your cunt clench around your Daddy. 

"Aw, it looks like someone is enjoying being watched. Isn't that right, sweetheart?" Cisco asks. 

"L-Love being watched. Love Mommy watch how I g-get fucked." You say, staring directly in Frost's bright eyes. 

That only encouraged her to speed up finger fucking herself. You could hear how wet she was at the sight of you. She was almost as wet as you were. 

Cisco pressed against your lower abdomen but didn't let up his powers. He could feel the bulge from *his* cock coming in and out. He always did love that.

Your thighs shook when you felt him hit your cervix. It wasn't long before you were begging him to let you cum. 

He did, he always did. He always wanted to see how your face contorted when you released on his cock. He also loved the way the first tear sprung from your eye after you came a couple of times. 

He never let the tears stay long, though. He wiped them away with his thumb. "It's okay, Daddy and Mommy are here, pretty kitty." Frost states. You hadn't even noticed how she was now sitting on the bed next to you, or how she was bare now. 

You couldn't help but stare at her tits and how perfect they looked. Along with those gorgeous thighs. Your mind ran rampant on how good it would feel to grind on them. 

She lets you lean your head against her while Cisco chased his own high. "You know, maybe you should make her a collar instead of a necklace to go along with her super suit. Have our names engraved on the inside. So, that even when she's in battle, she knows who she belongs to." Frost comments. 

"That's a really good idea, maybe I'll do that." Cisco responds. 

You were to intrigued by that. So intrigued that you let out small whimpers. 

An idea pops into Frost's head. "Come on, princess. Suck on Mommy's tit while you get fucked." She maneuvers to give you access. 

Taking her nipple in your mouth, you swirl your tongue around it gently. "Good girl." Frost commented. 

By the time you were done, her tit was covered in your saliva. It looked so pretty. The area around her nipple was also bruised slightly. 

"Daddy's gonna cum now, honey. Fill you up just how you like it." He commented. 

Then you feel warmth spread throughout your cunt. He didn't stop though. He wanted to fuck as much cum as deep as he could go into your cunt. 

He pulls out. He could *see* how you spasmed. How your little hole looked so empty without him. 

"Eat Frost out while I fuck you again." He commanded. His voice stern. 

You get on all fours in front of her cunt that she had just seconds ago, pulled her fingers away from. Timidly, you give her slit a few kitten licks. 

Then as you feel Cisco enter you from behind, you're pushed deeper into her. Your tongue was as deep in her cunt as it could possible go. Which she liked. 

You thought she tasted so good. It also felt like this was a treat for you. A treat for all the years you helped her with whatever problems she had or helping her out in a battle. 

Your hand rested on her hip before it traveled so you could rub her clit. After all, you wanted to make her feel as good as she made you feel. 

It seemed to work as you felt her thighs shake slightly. Her breathing was also a tad raggedy and out of sync. 

Her hand was on the back on your neck. It wasn't long before you felt cold. It made you whine into her. You look up and see a smile plastered on her face. 

Cisco's hand snaked around to your front and let his powers activate over your clit again. This time you *screamed* into your Mommy's pussy. 

"I love that she's so reactive. I always have." Cisco pointed out. 

You started grinding against him. Wanting to get him as deep as you could in you. 

"I'm gonna cum!" Frost exclaimed. 

She came so hard, she coated your face as she squirted. You lapped up whatever you could and swallowed. She took great joy in that. She shifted so she could pull you up into a kiss. 

The kiss lasted a few moments. Long enough for Cisco to cum in you again. He pulled you away from Frost and pressed you up against his chest so he too could kiss you. He stayed inside you, however. 

Finally you got to catch your breath as you inhaled deeply after the kiss was broken. "D-Daddy… Mommy…" You whined. 

"You did so well, princess. Mommy and Daddy are very proud of you." Frost comments as Cisco pulled out of you. 

You didn't want to be done, you wanted one more. You wanted them to make you cum one more time. 

"One more, please. Wanna cum one more time." You speak in a weak voice. 

Running a hand through your hair, Frost turns you around and has you sit in her lap. She then spreads your legs by putting one over each of her own. As she trailed up your thighs, you saw clouds of steam. The cold made you shiver. 

She stops right where you needed her the most. "I'm not going to be the only one touching you, baby. Daddy is too." She whispered in your ear. 

Cisco knelt between your legs and stuck two fingers in your fucked out pussy. Frost took no time to started rubbing your clit vigorously. You'd be squirming if it weren't for the tight grip Frost's arm had around your waist. 

"S-Shit!" You shouted. 

"Mhm, tell us how it feels to be touched by the both of us." Cisco commanded. 

"F-Feels so fucking good. Wanna be touched like this all t-the time!" 

The two metas looked at each other and smiled. They then talked about how good you would be. How they'd fuck you every day, no matter where they were. In the time vault or in Caitlin's lab. 

The squelching noises coming from you rang in your ears. You don't think you've ever been this wet before. 

Being shared like this made you feel special. Made you feel like you were the prettiest girl in the whole multiverse. 

Frost's other hand came up from your waist and started kneading your tit. All of the sensations you were feeling had you panting with your tongue hanging out, drool coating your stomach. 

"Please…" You pleaded. 

"Please, *what*, kitten?" Cisco inquired. 

"Cum, please, wanna." 

"Go on, pretty little girl." Cisco cooed. 

And with that, you raveled once again. Your chest was shaky as you came down from your high. "Good girl. So very, *very* good." Frost praised. 

You were left feeling empty once again, but this time you didn't feel like you needed to be filled again. 

Cisco had gotten up to get you a glass of water and a snack while Frost embraced you and gave you all the praises she could.

After you had finished your snack, you had gotten up to take a shower. When you got out, you had seen that Cisco left fresh out of the dryer pajama's. Of course they were the matching ones HR had gotten all of you for Christmas the year he spent on your earth. 

Seeing the two had left the room, you figured they'd be on the couch. You were right. They had left you a spot in the middle. 

You also took note of how they were wearing the pajama's that matched yours. A soft smile fell on your face when you laid across them with your head on your boyfriend's lap and your legs on your, what was now girlfriend's, own lap. 

The three of you spent the rest of the evening enjoying movies and TV shows. You even begged to watch your favorite movie. Which of course they were happy to indulge you.
