[chibifox2002]

Made a Mutant Mayhem design of Crystal for shits and giggles!

I think she turned out cute!

[corvidscreams]

Sketch reward for @madamlibrarianmarian who asked for some fluffy wing au kesett, and what’s fluffier than a couple of babies?

[writer-rider-flirty-thirties]

I reread The Black Games trilogy and I realized I never truly finished the last two chapters of the third installment (despite reading the whole triology at least five times) and y'all...

It rocked me emotionally.

Anyways, I love the trilogy so much and I'm so happy I finally got to finish it!

(also, it has my favorite OCs ever!!!)

[lavalampstealer]

Putting this out there for the TSP and IEYTD people (please let there be some):

Swap AU where Stanley/Narrator and Phoenix/Handler swap places. A mashup AU where Stanley is Agent Bucket or something. A different swap AU where the British Voices trade places for a bit.

What if Phoenix and Handler were in the Parable? Hell, why stop there, put Fabricator as the Curator and Zor as the Timekeeper and Prism as Mariella. Would Phoenix keep their TK implant? Would Stanley gain one? Who knows, let the shenanigans go wild.

What if Stanley and Narrator were spy and support agent together? Put the Bucket in as Zor. Do it. I dare you. it’d be funny

Okay so back when Good Omens S1 came out I was considering a whole bunch of Concepts for the Wrightworth Good Omens AU and I already joked a bunch of times about how Damon Gant has Archangel Gabriel Energy

And I was also thinking about how Dahlia Hawthorne would make a good Beelzebub as like a cool Fucked-Up Butterfly Demon

And NOW….

I mean, I guess I still kinda stand by that, I think these ‘casting’ still make sense… but also NOW I have to face the Incredibly Cursed Crackship Concept I had accidently created.

Shadow Phoenix AU - The Main Players

There are other organizations besides the EVA and the FCPU in the au. These two sides are the main players in the universe and they play a role in some of the main villains and in Becky's life (she doesn't know it, yet 😈) First lets set the background for these organizations So as I explained in my first post, mutants, meta humans, humans, and magical people and creatures live in relatively peaceful surrounding in Fair City. That wasn't always the case. Decades ago those who were magic users and/or magical beings were mistreated and most times persecuted or imprisoned. In that time period, metas and mutants were more expected by humans than magical beings. Mainly because of science. Science could explain mutants and metas to an extent. Science couldn't explain magic. This made people fearful of magic and magical beings. To paraphrase a quote I heard on tv, "What people do not understand, they fear, and what they fear, they usually try to destroy." This sadly was the case. A powerful society arose during this time. They were called the Council of Daylight. This organization consisted of humans, mutants, and meta humans that were specially trained to combat against magical beings and magic users. Their mission, to imprison magical beings and either remove their magic or destroy them entirely. During an event called the Dark Cleansing, members of the Council of Daylight nearly wiped out all magic users and imprisoned nearly every magical being. Those that survived were angry and enraged, they had tried to live in peace and achieve peace with their fellow beings, but peace was done, they wanted revenge, they wanted blood. So the Coven of The Rising Moon was formed made up of warlocks, witches, wizards, and other magical beings who wanted revenge. Founded and lead by a woman known as Lady Reaper, her and her followers, colleagues, and kin waged war against the Council of Daylight. For years, a bloodshed and war occurred between both sides with many casualties. Soon one human rose up, organizing his own group. This man wanted peace for both sides, not only that, he wanted the Council of Daylight to make amends for their bigotry and harmful crimes. This earned him favor with Lady Reaper and the rest of her Coven. The current head of the Council of Daylight, the solar knight, surprisingly agreed to the man's claims after some time. He agreed and sent a letter to Lady Reaper and the man, asking if they could make a peace accord which would make the members of the Council pay for amends to the Coven and all those they had harmed and killed. The head especially wanted the man to be there since he made the solar knight see the truth. Supporters and members of the Council voiced their anger at this but the solar knight assured them all that it was for the best and that they need to make amends as well as strive for unity like with the mutants and metas as well. So the three leaders met in the halls of the coven. Unfortunately it was the last time Lady Reaper invited a snake into her home. It was all a trap set up by the solar knight who spat in the faces of Lady Reaper and the human who wanted peace and amends to be made. The solar knight told them that he would never in his right mind make amends with those like Lady Reaper nor tolerate magic lovers like the human. So he slaughtered them in cold blood and brought back their heads to the Council in a show of glory and victory for the Council of Daylight, that none can stand in their way. Unfortunately for the solar knight and the council, this would be their last "victory". For now fate and karma began to work against them.

Night terror

Benedict Bridgerton x Sophie Beckett

Phoenix Rising AU

For @ambitionspassionscoffee

Rated: T- PTSD/Nightmares/Parent death/Sleepwalking/Night Terrors

Word count: 1.5k

Summary: When the night terrors come for you, having a Prince Charming nearby can make it all the easier to cope. Sophie’s stuck in a nightmare after a day in court, the day before she has to relive the worst years of her life.

Author's Note: Set during From the Ashes Chapter 19. Angsty with a fluffy ending.

Enjoy

Trauma has different ways of showing up in a person, PTSD never really went away, scars may fade in time, but the emotional damage that would fade eventually.

His phoenix may have found her voice again but the week before the trial, Benedict watched as his beautiful girl retreated back into herself, the nightmares started again and he was struggling to wake her from them.

She’d thrash and scream and beg for them to kill her, just end her life there and then.

It was hell watching her, stuck in the torment that she had been unable to escape for so many years, the torment that she was having to relive.

For a time the nightmares stopped, they went away. She’d released her article and she felt comfort, she’d found her voice back and she was powering through. She’d worked on her exams, got her results and was building herself back up but now… it felt like they’d taken steps backwards.

Lucy had warned him that this could happen.

At the prospect of facing their tormentor, victims can often regress backwards and get stuck in their nightmares but all he could do was hold her, talk to her and hope that his voice would carry through into the terrors…

It broke Benedict’s heart whenever he saw her trapped in one of these nightmares, he vowed that Araminta could spend the rest of her life in jail, rotting and ruined and it would still not be enough.

No punishment would ever be enough for she’d put Sophie through.

As the trial started, she was sleeping less and less and Benedict was worried about her, but the night before she was due to give evidence, she’d passed out in the car on the way home from Court and he’d hoped that she’d sleep all the way through to the following morning, the exhaustion for the last few days and the news that she’d gotten would have drained her of the last of her energy so that she would not move until the following morning.

The news that her father had filed for Divorce from Araminta had shook her to her core, she hadn’t expected it, she’d known he was going to do something to make it right after he’d seen her being dragged around by her hair but it had broken her heart to know that her father had still loved her. He’d not meant for her to be left in the life she was left to…

Araminta had stolen so much from her over the years, her whole childhood had been robbed as she’d been forced to work, forced to wait on her hand and foot, work through the pain of a fractured skull, ribs and kidneys, not having a broken arm tended to…

Her growth had been stunted because of her lack of nourishment and she was deficient in nearly every vitamin that her body needed to function properly…

Benedict had put her to bed as soon as they had gotten in, the rain was coming down heavily as he was getting himself ready for bed that night and he just hoped for an uninterrupted night sleep but as he went into the bedroom, he noticed it was empty.

Sophie wasn’t there, he hadn’t heard her getting out of bed, she wasn’t in the bathroom and nor was she in the ensuite, the door was open and as he popped his head in to make sure she wasn’t in the dark but there was nothing.

“Sophie? Sweetheart?” he called out, wondering if she’d reply and wondering where the hell she was.

He moved quickly around his house looking for his girlfriend, terror and panic coursing through his veins as he tried to find her, but it was only when he felt a cold breeze as he made his way down to the dining room that he turned around and saw the back door open.

The rain was hammering down and as he got closer to the door, he could see her. Standing there in the rain, not moving, bare foot, still in the clothes he’d put her in for bed but they were soaking wet, every part of her body was dripping wet.

“Sophie! Come in! You’re soaked!” he called from the door but she didn’t move. She didn’t even flinch, there was nothing. The thunder cracked and the lightning flashed and she didn’t even flinch and he knew something was wrong.

She was trapped in her dreams again, this time she was sleepwalking and he was entirely grateful that he had an enclosed back garden as god knows where she would have wandered off to if not.

He grabbed a coat, tossed some towels by the back door and grabbed an umbrella and made his way outside. Being careful, he didn’t want to spook her. He knew from experience with Eloise and her sleepwalking that you had to be careful not to disturb someone who was trapped in a dream, sleepwalking through it; to do so could have disastrous consequences if not handled carefully.

He walked slowly up to her, “Sophie, sweetheart?” he whispered, hoping his voice would carry through the rain, get into her stuck brain and bring her back to him like it usually did.

But she didn’t move. He carefully reached out and touched her, she didn’t move, no reaction but she was as cold as ice, her skin was going white and almost translucent in the rain and fear filled him. “Sophie, darling…?”

Finally she reacted she turned and faced him, her eyes were open but there was nothing there, no reaction, no recognition “Papa?” she whispered, her voice sounded young.

“Sophie” Benedict said “it’s Ben… come back to me darling” he said carefully but Sophie still didn’t see, her voice broke as she collapsed to the floor, her legs going and she was so cold and wet that Benedict wasn’t able to stop her from falling to the floor

“No Papa, come back!!! No!!!!” she screamed, she grabbed at the ground, shaking what she could “Papa!!! Don’t go!”

Benedict had no idea what Sophie was seeing, but he assumed it was the death of her father, his heart attack that she’d witnessed.

He’d heard from Anthony that Kate had gone through something similar, how she went through it when it had stormed when they had first gotten together, she’d witnessed her mother dying in a car accident and she’d relived the entire event.

Benedict crouched down over her, holding the umbrella to protect her from the rain as she pounded and begged an invisible force not to leave her alone, not to go, to stay with her as she sobbed and cried and each wail broke his heart.

“It’s okay, I'm not going anywhere, I'm here Soph… i’m here” he said over and over as he tried to get to hear him, but eventually she must have exhausted herself as he noticed she’d gone silent, her breathing petered out and nothing but quiet whimpers he carefully scooped her into his arms and carried her back into the house, being careful not to jostle her.

She was cold to the bone, he’d taken food out of the freezer that had been warmer than her skin and he knew she’d need to warm up before bed, before she had to face tomorrow.

Wrapping her in a towel he placed her on the chair in their room, he ran to the bathroom and set the bath off, ensuring it was hot water coming from the tap before he put the plug in and let it fill.

He went back into the room and he could see Sophie’s eyes coming back into focus, the dull light in the green as she shivered “B…b…ben?”

“Shhhh it’s okay, i’ve got you. You’re safe” he said, kneeling in front of her and pressing a kiss to her freezing cold temple.

“C…c…cold” she shivered.

“It’s okay i’ve got the bath running, we’ll get you warm okay, just a couple of minutes sweetheart” he said.

Sophie nodded, “i’m so tired Ben” she whispered, her eyes dropping.

“I know darling, i’ll get you in the bath and you can sleep okay, I’ll get you warm and cleaned up” he replied as he got up and checked to ensure the bath was ready before coming back, carefully peeling the clothes from her body and tossing them into the laundry pile, before removing his own, he was cold and wet from the rain but he figured he could wash her more easily sitting behind her.

He scooped her into his arms, and gently lowered them both into the bath, he felt Sophie’s entire body relax into him as she hit the warm water.

“Mmm sorry” she slurred slightly as Benedict started to pour the warm water over her body.

“You never need to apologise to me Sophie, we’re a team. I’ll be here always for you, nightmares or not… i’m going nowhere okay” he said pressing her wet head “I love you Soph. no matter what”

“Love you too” she mumbled as he started to wash her hair.

He hoped this time when she fell back asleep, there would be no nightmares, no more sleep walking, he hated that she was going through all this but he knew without a shadow of a doubt he would be there by her side until death do them part.

i am hurting myself so bad with this au-

(The AU is a 5DS/Promare crossover, Jack is...not having a good time with finding out that the Dark Signers tend to disintegrate when they die, kinda like the Burnish do. Unfortunately, since the Dark Signers are undead, there's nothing he can do to stop it from happening...)

[chibifox2002]

Had a dream about these two and started feeling emotional so here's a random Mikey x Aguya nobody asked for

[corvidscreams]

More wings! Set early in the Fallen Order timeline, before Cal can grow out the dye.

Bonus Cal

Additional facts: Boba has a bum wing and still has a jet pack to make up for it. Merrin has lil bat fangs to go with her wings.

Phoenix Rising: Chapter 1: Introductions

Cover

[chrispy-chimkin]

Pleassse I am in desperate need of some hc’s abt your Lu wing au. I’m obsessed.

Hoooo boy okay then you asked for it.

Time

Silent flight and heightened senses; he spooks the others cause they can never hear them coming.

Grip strength of ~300 psi.

His feathers are often ragged and dirty because they drag his wings on the ground.

Broods over everyone, but mostly Twilight.

His laugh sounds like an owl. "Hoo hoo hoo!"

Has a terrible sleep schedule, it's a debate whether they sleep at all.

Twilight

Didn't learn to fly till he was 18.

Broods over Wild more than anyone.

The mother hen of the group.

Vocal stims!

Has trading sessions with the other corvid of the group, Legend.

Loves to collect insects; the only item he really hoards, the rest he makes into tools or something else useful.

Master of mimicry and has animal calls down to a science.

His voice is not his own.

Warriors

The fastest flier of the group.

Hates dawdling and is constantly moving.

Prefers high places, he would rather sleep in a tree than anywhere near the ground.

Totally okay with the little guys riding on him.

He can appear brash and harsh due to falcons having a solitary nature; acting as a captain, you sometimes have to put business over personal matters.

Very protective over Time and Wind specifically.

Sky

The slowest flier of the group, but the strongest.

Sky always bows to the others before he asks a question or starts a conversation, even if it is just a long nod, and he tends to expect the same because of his culture.

Happy to snuggle and comfort anyone.

However, he is VERY easy to piss off and you don't want him mad.

Absolutely brutal in battle.

Asthma and breathing issues in lower altitudes.

Can sleep while in flight.

Wild

Can withstand temperatures of up to 3000°F. He is always radiating heat.

Wings can ignite with blue fire.

Heals faster than normal.

Glad to join Warriors in acrobatics and stunts; but he is far more reckless.

The worst preener in the group.

Will sometimes participate in Twi and Leg’s trading sessions, mostly if it seems like there is something he might like and he had endless inventory so his options are vast

Likes to chew on bones and will even consume bones; he eats everything really.

Commonly sleeps with his eyes open; he mostly does this in a manner that will piss someone off like when Twilight scolds him.

Hyrule

Rarely bathes and mostly rolls in sand.

Tries to eat bees even though he is allergic.

Feathers are fragile from malnutrition and it is easy for him to get sick.

You cannot find him unless he wants to be found.

Hides under other peoples' wings and snuggles a lot; one could almost call him clingy.

Does become on edge about the raptors of the group often.

Legend

Shamelessly steals food, mostly from Warriors.

Broods over Hyrule.

Hoarder.

Screeches or screams in your face if you spook him.

He will mostly apologize or show affection in the form of "gifts"; if he got in a bad fight with Warriors for example he might give him a coin or a river stone as a way of apologizing because his items are valuable to him.

Afraid of Sky after bad first introductions.

Only lets Twilight and Hyrule preen him.

Never goes outside let alone attempts to fly when it rains.

Wind

Webbed hands and feet.

Can drink seawater.

Prankster.

Very impressionable, he will watch and impersonate others but will not admit to it.

He likes to ride on Time's back the most; the second is Twilight because he likes his mimicry and Warriors the third only because he likes to ride Warriors for stunts rather than travel convenience.

Not the best flier over land because he grew up on the ocean.

Dives a lot in the way he watched Tetra do it, he will collect shells and other trinkets if he can get deep enough.

Four

Always eating or chewing on something; has at least two pouches dedicated to just food.

Fidgets a lot.

Likes to absentmindedly preen others to keep their hands busy.

Usually quiet; They can speak at a frequency the others cannot hear if they want to; mostly to talk to Minish if they see any.

Feathers have horrible insulation, they tend to huddle under the wings of others for warmth. They especially do this with Sky and Time, and sometimes Wild but they don’t usually trust him.

Can be very sensitive to the environment around them; their sense will pick up on things way before the others may realize what's wrong.

VERY territorial and aggressive about food; they don't mean it, but they are always hungry to some extent.

I think it came out really well
