Sacrifice demands that you surrender something of equal or greater value. A balanced exchange, supposedly, though it may not seem or even be just. What then do you so desperately desire that you’re willing to pay any price? Who or what are you willing to give up?

The theme for Lights on Park Ave Round 43 is sacrifice. Here are the prompts:

Joowon telling Dongsik, a man he used to distrust, that he’s willing to go to hell in Dongsik’s stead as atonement for his father’s sins so Dongsik won’t completely destroy himself seeking revenge in Beyond Evil

A quote from Succession asking what love is strong enough that its death would grant power accompanying Corrado Giaquinto’s The Sacrifice of Iphigenia and Pierre-Narcisse Guérin’s Murder of Agamemnon

“Running Up That Hill” - Placebo

The Driver being told that he will never be free or safe again because he protected Irene in Nicholas Winding Refn’s Drive (2011)

A quote about not getting anything if you hold yourself back from asking for something from Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett

Edward and Alphonse losing their bodies in their disastrous failed attempt at resurrecting their mother via alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist

Claudia making Louis confront what he made her lose by turning her into a vampire so he could have a child and family of his own in Interview with the Vampire (AMC)

“Iris” - Goo Goo Dolls

An account about Isidor Straus who gave up her chance at survival so she wouldn’t leave her husband behind and a still from Titanic (1997)

Steve telling Peggy that he’s making the choice to sacrifice himself to save everyone in Captain America: The First Avenger

Pepper telling Tony that he won’t be able to rest if he knows he can bring everyone back and Tony finally resting in death in Endgame

Sacrifice of Isaac - Caravaggio

Agnus Dei - Francisco de Zurbarán

Round 43 will end on March 31, 11:59 PM ET (what time is that for me?).

As always, you’re free to jump in whenever you’d like during the round, a wide variety of work types is accepted, and there are no minimum work requirements. Unfinished works and works for other fandom events are allowed. You can find more information about Lights on Park Ave and the participation guidelines here.

Fifth round, second fight

Quote number 43 :

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow"

-Mary Anne Radmacher

VS

Quote number 51 :

"I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."

-Marcus Cole, Babylon 5

Bracket A Round 1

Poll 22

Aurora (@queensqueercourt) vs. Bone Doe (@leondevilart)

Aurora

they/she

Its aurora! being and archvist of the stars! Cast upon the world as a small speck of solar wind, she transformed, taking on the role of observer and archivist of the planet documenting everything they see fit from plants to animals and even people if needed. She has been separated from her kind for quite some time being quite alienated from their culture and rituals, but is hardly lonely! They enjoy the company that comes from the people of the polar regions she inhabits, and on occasion can even visit people from all over the world during strong solar storms. Aurora is a strong and gentle source of intelligence and wisdom and has what everyone can agree, is the patience of a saint. her main form of power comes from her vast telekinetic abilities and mass light manipulation, usually in the form of the great auroras she can make. they also have abilities such as the power of dreams and appearing in them to deliver prophetic messages, flight, and wonderous spectacles of magic!

Blue skin light blue hair starry robes and long veil on the back of her head

Bone Doe

he/they/it

They're just a silly little guy! Might look scary at first but it's got the personality of a puppy! Also he's a certified amateur detective with necromancy powers, though often misused, would rather wake up the death to have someone to share an icecream with rather than to solve a crime.

They're a skeleton with a yellow beanie, suit and tie.

Redemption Round 3 - Match 8

We were so close to a Desolation v Desolation, y'all. Alas, Section 31 stayed in the rankings with 126 votes last round, and is up against Burnt Offering and its 136 RR2 votes for 256 Redemption Votes so far! Side note, I don't think I put this in any of the posts yet but did y'all know Burnt Offering is partially based on a true story? Like the finding a weird ritual site?

round 2, match 16!

it's finally here: the final match of round 2! after this, the next official poll to go up will be trait selection again, and i'm sure you're all looking forward to that! but first, let's look at the decision to be made here!

coming in on the left is contestant 11! they had an overwhelming victory against contestant 54 in the first round, earning 74.4% of the vote! they began as someone or something with too many eyes and shifting limbs with a wedding dress covered in blood, and trait selection added the interesting wrinkle that it's not their dress and not their blood!

and finally, entering on the right is contestant 43! they defeated contestant 22 with 52.2% of the vote, and they're hoping to make a bigger margin this time around! during the first round, all we knew was that they were a werewolf with selective mutism, but now it's also been discovered that they have a vampire girlfriend!
