It’s another day. Just like always.

Half-asleep, Yura glances at the door, halfway through his breakfast. His mother’s standing there. She’s already fully dressed, while her son is still in last night’s clothes. He hasn’t had much energy as of late. It’s not like he ever has any energy, even more as of late, with the trip to the zone coming up... Not to mention everything that’s happened with Dmitry.

Yura grunts at the thought of that… *monster. 

Why didn’t he stick around? Maybe he’d have been able to convince Sergei to let him stay, or at the very least, not report him. Maybe he could have helped Dima escape. Maybe he could have seen the police coming and warned him. Maybe if he had used his brain, he’d have told Sanya to let Dima stay at his place and avoided all of this. But, no amount of *maybes is going to change the fact that he’s gone. Dead, maybe, for all they know.

The door clicks shut. He’s alone now. Anya is either at school (Is there school today? What day is it?) or, more likely, at Olya’s right now. She probably won’t be back for some time. Yura will be all by himself until then, getting swallowed up by unnecessary feelings.

… Whatever. He only knew him for a week. He shouldn’t care. His eyes shouldn’t sting at the memory of the guy. It doesn’t matter that Yura wasted so much time and money helping him out. Feeding him, giving him a place to stay, hanging out with him even though he was *such a pain in the ass.. But none of that matters now. Never will matter, because he’s gone.  The only thing that matters is that he- *it, Yura corrects himself - killed a few people in Sergei’s flat.

… Well, not really people. Not ones that matter, anyway. Three or so cops. Blew up their heads, Sanya said, that it looked like that’s what happened. Yura got the feeling she didn’t tell him more than she had to during their phone call. It was clear that she wasn’t pleased with how things turned out. Maybe she was hoping Sergei could help Dima. Let him live with them.  Find some place for him to stay, at least.

Yura can’t find the strength to not blame her for this. The rational side of him argued that she was the *least to blame, actually, she didn’t know this would happen. Most likely, she didn’t even know that Dima’s a mutant. Still. Though the final nail in his (hopefully only metaphorical) coffin was decided by Sergei, *she took Dima to him. She should have known.. but, how could she have? There was no way for her to know.

A frustrated groan escapes the teen. There’s really no need to be thinking that much about him. About *it.

He groans again, frustrated by his inability to call Dmitry what he is. It’s not like he didn’t know the truth all along, either. Again, he internally reprimands himself for getting attached. Sanya isn’t to blame here- no, she’s not the one responsible for all of this. Maybe for getting him reported so quickly, but that was always going to happen, one way or another. Better soon than later, the teen thinks. Before he let that not entirely uncomfortable feeling grow more than it already has.

Before he can ponder this any further, his phone buzzes. With one hand, he rubs his eyes, with the other he picks up his phone.

*We need to talk, a message from none other than Mr Kazarin himself. The tone of the message makes him sound like he wants to break up, Yura thinks to himself. Funny. Maybe it is one. Yura runs a hand through his hair, staring at the message. His stalker times are over before they even started, his only hope at making it in this godforsaken world, all because of that.. *thing. Nothing he can say could fix this.  

Luckily, before he can ruin Sergei’s view of him any further, another message. An invitation, if one can call it that, to meet up at an unimportant location. It’s not like he has much choice in this - so, he sends back an *ok, gets dressed in his unitidy clothes and heads out.

something something sergei angst

“You know what this is about.” Sergei proclaims. Yura doesn’t need to reply for him to know he’s right, but he still does, accompanied by a dry chuckle. “‘Course I do. It’s about Dimochka.”

“*Don’t call it that.”

The air is thick with tension. Despite this, Yura nonchalantly holds a cigarette out to him. Like nothing’s happened- like this is just a regular training session. With a sigh, he takes the cigarette, and with one quick motion, he takes out his lighter. Yura is fiddling with his own.

Brontophobia (wandersong au fic)

This is my first Fanfiction, and its for my wandersong sibling au.

Characters are kawn baron (the bard) and audrey redheart (the hero)

It’s a stormy night and Kawn and Audrey talk about the past.

It was midnight in the sleepy little village of Langtree. Everyone was sleeping to the sound of a heavy storm passing over. Everyone, but Audrey Redheart. 

She sat sharpening her blade, listening as the rain poured heavily on the little shed-turned-house the ex-hero built. Her mind was wandering as she slid the whetstone across the blade. How long has she been in Langtree? One month? Two? It felt like she’d lived here much longer. It was a miracle they even accepted her, after she tried to-

She shook her head. She did not want to relive that.

She thought instead about her job.

Lumber work, Bronson offered it to her. She was very grateful for that, although it’s thanks to the bard she even got a place to live. They offered to let her live with them, and was the one making dinner and all that. She looked over at their house. It was small, barely able for even one person to live in. Her eyes drifted down to Marmalade’s chicken pen.

The witch, Miriam, had gifted a chicken to the bard. According to her, Kawn kept getting confused by egg labels, and was spending 20 Dollars on a 6-egg carton. 

Audrey still can’t believe they outsmarted her.

Despite Marmalade being the bard’s chicken, she very much loved her. It reminded her of a simpler time when she lived with the other orphans in the monastery. It was bittersweet, the only people who seemed to actually care who Audrey was, was her sister and the sky seals. She still missed the sky seals. She told Kawn about them, and when she returned from a Lumber work trip from Xia-Tian, Kawn had surprised her with a small stuffed animal sky seal. She never deserved any of this. She tried to hu-

A crack of thunder brought Audrey’s attention back to the chicken pen. Marmalade was probably cold and scared in this storm, The pen isn’t the best at protecting her from rain (Boni promised to come fix it when they had time off work) but it was a good temporary arrangement. 

Audrey sheathed her sword and hung it up on the wall before grabbing her scarf and putting her boots on. She didn’t bother with the gloves, They were just to protect from the cold, and to protect her hands from blistering while using a sword.

She trudged out into the cold, dark, and wet night. She was almost immediately drenched by the rain 

“Guuugh…” She hated being soggy, it was the worst feeling. But she had to do this

She had to save Marmalade.

She carefully opened the pen, and heard marm’s clucking. Carefully, she reached in and wrapped her arms around the sopping wet bird. The feeling of wet feathers was… indescribable.

“Eugh… Boni had better get time off soon.” Audrey muttered, as she pulled the chicken out of the pen. There was another crack of thunder, and Marmalade started flapping her wings and struggling while making distressed clucking noises.

“Wh- HEY! I’m trying to help you!!” 

She ran into the shed, struggling to hold a panicked and very upset hen without hurting it. Audrey was very glad no one was awake at this hour.

She burst through the shed door, and put marmalade on the ground as quickly (and carefully) as she could. Marmalade sat on the ground, shivering while looking around. Her beautiful feathers now depressed looking as the water dripped off of her. Her usually plump and fluffy appearance was now sleek and weighty on her slightly less plump form (she is a well fed chicken, afterall). 

She wrapped the sopping hen with her scarf and set her in a corner. She decided to turn in for the night, It must’ve been close to one am at this point. However, as she went to close the door, there was a loud crack of thunder that made her stumble back a bit, and then soon after she heard a very familiar scream. 

She jumped into action, grabbing her sword and running towards the small house, and she burst in as another bolt of lightning illuminated the sky.

She was greeted not  by danger, but by her friend. 

They were on the ground, shaken and trembling. They looked up at her in terror, tears glinting with the brief flashes of light in the sky. Both of their hands were gripping their chest- almost digging into it. 

They  let out a small whimper, and tried to scoot away

Quickly, Audrey dropped her sword, but didn’t move beyond that. She barely even recognized that disheveled and fearful figure to be the annoyingly happy-go-lucky bard that played along with her antics and helped give her a new life.

After what seemed like forever, Audrey found the strength to break the silence.

“Kawn? Is everything alright?” Audrey you fool of course they’re not alright, they are on the ground  shiv-

“Y-Yeah! I’m f-fine!” ...Are you Serious? 

Audrey couldn’t believe it. Do they really think she’s gonna believe that?? 

“Kawn, you are on the floor shaking like a leaf and crying. You can barely even smile!”

The shaky smile that the bard had formed, quickly faded. It didn’t look right, she’s seen the bard without a smile before but there was at least some form of.. Strength? Hope? She wasn’t sure. Whatever it was, it wasn’t there now. They seemed to be at their weakest point, and she had no idea how to help. She only knew how to fight. 

And there was no way to fight this problem.

The bard seemed to know she was at a loss at what to do, they didn’t want to be a burden. They attempted to stand, but their legs threatened to give out under them. 

“Wai- No! You’re shaking too much!” Audrey exclaimed as she ran over to go support the shaken singer.

Kawn let out a yelp, and stiffened as Audrey supported them. They were expecting a rush of unpleasant memories, but instead they found themself comforted by Audrey’s embrace. Other than her initial appearance a few moments ago, they didn’t seem to connect their friend with The Hero that threatened to end the world. They softened after a second, before attempting to hug Audrey. 

She panicked, she was not expecting this. She started to quickly get Kawn to their bed, but stopped when she heard another whimper. She looked down at her whimpering friend, a wave of more awkwardness and worry washed over her. The whimpering got more frequent as the bard buried their face into their friend. Audrey, now being clinged to, awkwardly shuffled herself and her friend to the bed. 

  Carefully, she sat on the bed, having to pull the bard onto her lap as they started to full on sob. There was another crash of thunder and the bard dug their fingers into Audrey’s shirt. She swore that they were about to rip a hole in it or something. This was not how she expected her night to go. She should have just gone to bed. 

Except… that would have been cowardly. Kawn would have been stuck cowering on the floor!

 ...Wait what was kawn cowering from? 

Audrey looked at the sobbing bard, it occurred to her it probably wasn’t the best time to talk to them about it. Instead, she carefully started to rub kawn’s back, and tried her best to hum the Overseer song the monks taught her and the other orphans. She never had to use it, since the Heart Overseer’s castle appeared in the real world. 

Her voice was nowhere near as good as Kawn’s, but they seemed to start to calm down. Their sobbing eventually quieted down, and Audrey carefully started to finish her song.

“...Y..you have a very pretty voice.” 

Audrey blushed. 

“Thanks.” She wasn’t used to genuine compliments from anyone other than adoring fans, despite however many months she’s been there. 

“What scared you?”

“...I don’t want to talk about it.” The bard’s voice was barely audible as they looked away.

Audrey groaned, she would threaten to call Miriam, but it was still dark outside. 

“Kawn. It would help me help you if you would tell me what’s up.” That...came out way more aggressive than she wanted. 

“I-I can help myself Audrey. I’m ok.”

“Bull.” She would swear if it didn’t put the fear of Eya in her.

The bard responded with silence. She really reminded them of Miriam right now, but they didn’t wanna say that. Instead they debated on wether or not they really wanted to share their thoughts.

“I...I’m just scared of the thunder, that’s all.”

“Oh. why would you hide that from me?” 

The Bard paused again. They wanted to word it without making Audrey feel bad. However, before they could speak, A flash of realization crossed The Ex-Hero’s face.

“Wait, it's because of me isn’t it?”

“No! I mean- yes but-”

Audrey glared at the floor, what was she thinking? She could’ve killed them. That was a fully charged shot! They-”

“Please, don’t be upset with yourself…”

What? How could she not Be upset!? 

“Kawn, I shot you!” she was mad. Not at him, just… just mad that they were trying to downplay her actions. 

“I… I know.” Kawn shifted off of Audrey, now sitting next to her. “But, I ran at you, you just reacted.”

“I was charging that shot long before you ran at me.”

“...”

“Besides-” Audrey was now choking back tears “Aren’t you mad that I hurt Miriam?”

Kawn paused. They were mad, but...not at her. They were mad at what she did, and they were mad at how she reacted. But she acknowledged that she was wrong (albeit, she made him question if she was even sorry after she killed the Heart King) and she obviously wanted to be better now! It felt wrong to still be upset.

“I...Yes. I’m still upset but… I shouldn’t be.”

“...What.”

Kawn was tense, They hated being open about this, but Miriam said that sharing these thoughts helped her. They could help Audrey! They’d just have to take that chance. 

“You are trying so hard to change. You have come so far from the egotistical and snooty hero, and actually resemble the compassionate and capable hero i knew you could be!”

Audrey huffed, she did feel like she has improved but she didn’t feel like a hero anymore. She wasn’t saving anyone, she was just a lumb-

“But…”

Oh no.

“I’m still… upset by your actions. I’m upset with Eya for telling you to kill the overseers.”

“That’s bold. Being angry at a Goddess I mean.”

Kawn gave out a small laugh, it somehow sounded musical, and it made audrey feel a little bit better. 

“Yeah… but again I’m just mad at  her actions. I’m mad that you didn’t listen to Miriam and I, or even Eyala. I know why you didn’t listen, and I completely understand why you did all this! It’s just… It still makes me upset when I think about it.”

Kawn looked at the ground, and swung their feet back and forth.

“I-I know, it’s unfair to you and i have no right to-”

“Are you kidding? You have every right to still be upset.”

Kawn looked up in surprise. Audrey was looking at them with a soft look that they’ve never seen on her before. 

“I hurt so many people, and I’ve disfigured you for life!”

Kawn carefully put his hand on their chest.

“It’s ok to still be upset. You can forgive me and still be hurt by my actions.”

She put a hand on Their shoulder. Kawn looked back on the ground and put their hand on the hand on their shoulder. 

“But… I don’t even see you and the past you as the same person.”

“Huh?”

“I see ‘The Hero’ as someone completely different. When I see her in my nightmares, I don’t think of you.”

Audrey blinked.

“I...but we are the same person.”

“I know but I can’t see it that way. I don’t think of you when I think of all the things you’ve done. Maybe I’m just broken or someth-”

“Don’t say that.”

“Huh?”

Audrey turned Kawn to make them look at her. 

“You are not broken. You are just trying to cope in your own way.”

“G-Gosh I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make you upset!” Kawn cracked a very awkward smile.

Audrey sighed.

“It’s just… I don’t like when you put yourself down. I’m sure Miriam also hates that.”

Kawn frowned.

“I’m sorry, I’ll try not to do that again.”

“...You’re a very funny person, you know that?”

“Huh?”

Audrey Leaned back.

“You were completely willing to help me, just as you would anyone else. Despite everything i’ve done to you.”

“Well… yeah! I believed you could be better and you seemed like you needed a place to stay!”

“...You didn’t even want my money or anything. You help while not wanting or expecting anything in return. Despite me questioning why you would do that, I think I’m beginning to understand why you do it.”

Kawn gave Audrey a confused glance. To be honest it just made them feel good to help others. 

“You just like spreading happiness. You want people to remember you for being kind and caring, and maybe even pay it forward by helping someone else.”

Kawn thought about it. It made sense but they didn’t think of it that way.

“Actually it just feels good to help people…”

“Well yeah but still.”

“...Yeah maybe you’re right.”

Kawn stared at the ceiling, thinking about what Audrey had said. Suddenly a snoring sound brought him back to the real world.

“Audrey?”

They looked over and found audrey passed out, half hanging off the bed. Kawn smiled softly and properly tucked Audrey in (remembering to remove her boots). They then pulled the sleeping bag out and set it up, and tucked themself in after grabbing a book and a flashlight.

They weren’t particularly tired, they would probably take a nap today.

For now they would just read through the night, hopefully they’ll doze off soon.

I think I'm gonna make this an au

[mothwingedmyths]

Here's Ash

Edit: I'm gonna make some changes dfsjghsajdg

[mothwingedmyths]

FJDHGLJKASDHGLHFDGL

WHY

I DO NOT NEED MORE AUS

I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHEN I USED TO DRAW OCS AND STUFF AS POKEMON GYM LEADERS AND THEN MY BRAIN JUST. THREW A WANDERSONG POKEMON AU AT ME

HELP

[mothwingedmyths]

So I was thinking about parallels between Wandersong and Zephyr Star and stuff and my hand slipped

Have yet another AU (I'll most likely try to slow down with the posts soon, I'm taking over the Wandersong tag and it's probably really annoying, especially since nobody here knows what Zephyr Star is-)

It's called Zephyrsong

Kiwi is Bat, Miriam is Zee, Audrey is Alpha, and Mask is Flec

Also canonically it's probably all Llewellyn's fault

What sets this apart from my myriad other crossover AUs is I'm friends with the Zephyr Star developer lol

Edit: I just realized I forgot to give Kiwi ears but honestly it looks a lot better why did I start giving them ears

[mothwingedmyths]

I present to you...

Wandergrim! (title kinda subject to change but for now it sounds super cool, and yes, it was named by the same person who named Wanderbloom) (ft. my ability to draw Miriam having significantly improved overnight, and too much blank space)

It's basically Wandersong but dark fantasy, Eyala is the main antagonist, and I went too far developing the characters/locations/etc

...I love dark fantasy okay

I don't really want to say too much since I have every intention in the world of putting it on AO3 since I love it, but I do want to slap some notes and stuff here:

Kiwi has mild vampirism (I'm probably going to make a post explaining it sometime in the near future, it's a lot to unpack)

Also they aren't actually willing to use their spear, it just makes them feel safer having a weapon with them

I had a little too much fun coming up with abilities and such for Miriam and I'm way too excited to show them all-

I think my favorite is- wait no that's a spoiler aaaaaaaa help hsdfjkagsdhdgh

Instead of shooting lightning, Audrey's sword shoots black fire looking stuff, and it's basically topaz dragon breath from D&D lol

Also this goes completely without saying but she is extremely done with literally everything and needs sleep

[mothwingedmyths]

In ye olde modern AU (both modern AUs but-) Kiwi's friend group group chat thingy is called "The bad girl coven but (blank)" and every day the "(blank)" part changes and Audrey made an overcomplicated (especially for what it is) program or something to keep track of who changes it each day because it rotates in alphabetical order but there's quite a few people in it

Also Audrey is super good at programming and is probably trying to make an entire video game

Please forgive me if this post made no sense, I am running on four mozzarella sticks and some anger at myself

[mothwingedmyths]

Researching mythical creatures for the purpose of one character in one AU is very fun and I highly recommend it

It's the dog in March Of The Happy Factory btw

I think she might be something like Black Shuck, but I'm also leaning towards something like Fenrir or a barghest

If I decide on a barghest the dog's name is gonna be Jellybean because oF COURSE

Oh also Ash is a satyr (and they have a smol pet dragon) and Viola is a harpy, I'm still trying to figure out Manny-

...I should probably do research on all the mythology I plan to use here rather than just the dog but I don't really feel like it tbh

[mothwingedmyths]

Here's Mask's design because obviously he's significantly more important than characters with real plot relevance

Although it's my AU and I can give him plot relevance if I want to sooooooo

[mothwingedmyths]

Explaining Kiwi's Wandergrim vampirism

So in my first Wandergrim post I mentioned Kiwi having mild vampirism, and now I'm explaining it as best I can, because it probably sounds confusing without an explanation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They're a lot more sensitive to sunlight and water than the average person (don't ask how you can be sensitive to water because I'm not sure lol)

They have to drink blood to survive, but only once a month is enough unless they're anemic (really hoping I spelled that right- I mean spellcheck isn't yelling at me but still) or something

Their eyes have a very slight red tint

They have fangs (ofc)

They find coffins extremely comfortable to sleep in

They can stay upside-down comfortably for a lot longer than the average person

[mothwingedmyths]

Eyala has a Wandergrim design now

I hate how off-center this is but oh well

[mothwingedmyths]

If I had a dollar for every time an AU of mine involved Miriam doing necromancy at least once I could get myself OneShot

Which makes me really wish I did in fact have a dollar for every time an AU of mine involved Miriam doing necromancy at least once because that game looks amazing

Edit: I was right it is in fact amazing
