Everyone Leaves, Ch. 4: Virgil

Colorized version of Wolf-in-front-of-Moon, Clément Bucco-Lechat CC 3.0

Prev - Virgil - Next - All - [ AO3 ] - Playlist

Virgil appears and demands to know what Remus has done to Logan. He finds Logan happily sleeping, sprawled over Remus' lap. And a frighteningly happy Remus.

CW: intrusive thoughts, wolf bite, blood, swearing, unreality A continuation of @lost-in-thought-20's incredible story for the @tsspromptmonth 🌸 Spring Cleaning 🌸 event. ---

The door rattled in its frame, chunks of cement from the walls clattering to the floor in a dusty avalanche. “Remus!” 

BANG BANG BANG BANG  

The wolves whimper in the corner. There’s only one Side his wolves fear.

“Open the fucking door, Remus!”  Virgil’s tempest voice shakes his bones but he ignores it. Virgil was all talk. He’s the one who should be afraid. “What’d you do? Impersonate him? Got him tied up in there?”

“Oooo, kinky!” Remus cackles as he waves the door open. “And keep your voice down, Emo,” Logan slept better with the sound of his voice. “The nerd’s finally asleep.” He stares into Virgil’s shadowed eyes, the black smeared with tear tracks. Logan's presence brought company but it also brought light. Dim, but enough to relish in the fear in Virgil's eyes. “Wake him and I’ll spend every night for the next year camped out in your little brain while you try to sleep.”

“Do your worst!” Virgil’s posture stays strong but there’s a warble in his voice and Remus knows his point was made. Anxiety knows better than to take his threats as mere words. “Just put Logan back to normal! Release him from whatever you did and let him go! We need him! Thomas is in a fucking police station getting fingerprinted right now.”

Remus sucks on the tip of his middle finger. “Hmmm… yummy. I always wanted to know what that ink tasted like. Sticky, bitter, kinda like—”

“Shut up!” The tempest voice shakes through his bones and Remus shivers, staring back with green glowing eyes. Virgil takes a deep breath to calm himself. It doesn’t work. “Look, you can have whatever you want, Remus, just let him go so he can fix this!”

“But this is what I want. Right here, in my arms, in my room.” He smiles, mouth stretched wide enough to touch his ears. If he stretched enough, he could even drop his jaw just like Janus used to when he asked.

Back when Janus stayed. Back when Janus gave a fuck.

Virgil’s steps falter and the wolves slink out from under his bed. “See? Even they’re not afraid of you anymore,” Remus reaches out to pet the closest wolf and its ears flatten against the top of its head and it sinks its fangs into his hand. 

Remus smiled as he tore his hand from the beast’s mouth. It was then that Logan woke. “Remus?” He blinked, staring into Remus’ eyes.

“Logan, you’re alright!” Virgil dropped to his knees and reached for him. “We need you, we—” The wolves snarled the moment Virgil’s hand grazed Logan’s and he drew back.

Save for a single glance, Logan ignores Virgil and sits up facing Remus. “You are injured,” he frowns and holds out his hand. A large red box appears before him and he opens the case to reveal a perfectly organized first aid kit. He takes out supplies and begins flushing Remus’ wound with sterile saline. Like tears. Remus hissed under his breath, the water sharp and biting the wound.

“Logan? Wha—How did you do that? Only Remus can conjure in his room.”

“Falsehood,” he said without looking up from his ministrations. "I obviously just did and I am not Remus.” Wound irrigated, Logan began blotting his skin with a soft cloth, pristine white and clean like his room had never seen before. He worked silently for a moment, those laser sharp eyes staring at the puncture wounds on Remus’ hand like he fucking dared them to start seeping blood again.

“I will bandage your wound now,” he said, raising his eyes up. Logan looked at him with a softness Remus hadn’t seen since… Fuck Janus. He nodded.

“Do whatcha gotta do, Nerdy Wolverine,” he grinned, a little too widely. What was the worst that could happen? The bite was already starting to burn and throb. Logan’s nursing would only help, even if it hurt like hell while he did it. “I won’t fight you.”

“Yeah, right,” Virgil scoffed. “Be careful, Logan. I’m pretty sure I still have Remus’ teeth marks from that time I tried to get a chunk of glass outta—”

“I will be careful, Remus.” Logan didn’t get that Virgil was warning the nerd against what he would do and just trained those eyes on him, holding still with Remus’ hand twitching in his palm. “Tell me if the bandage grows uncomfortable and I will adjust it.”

Remus nodded, mouth hanging open but nothing would come out. The only other person who could shut him up was Dee and that was with his powers. Even Virgil finally shut up and just watched, all tense and coiled like he expected Remus to attack their resident logician.

After his wounds were hidden under layers of gauze and those little pads you get at the hospital, Logan pressed down on each of his nail beds, Remus watched, too, as tannish pink went white and then quickly returned. “I believe this  dressing adequate now. I will need to change your bandage in a few hours to guard against infection.” The nerd looked up and actually smiled. “How does it feel, Remus?”

The wolf who’d bitten him slunk out from the shadows, head hanging low and her tail between her legs. She lay down in front of Logan, whining quietly. “Better, Lo.”

“That is a relief,” Logan murmured and laid one hand on the wolf’s head, instantly turning off that high-pitched whine.

“Okay, so you fixed the nightmare’s hand.” Virgil jumped to his feet and opened the door, eyeing the wolf like it had grown tentacles. That’s an idea. Would they be slimy like her insides, intestines flopping through her pelt and hanging to the floor? Or would they match her fur, like boneless prehensile tails sprouting from her back. With teeth.

Virgil was still at the door, reaching for Logan’s hand. “Come fix this mess with the cops! You belong up there with us.”

Logan stared between them and they all stared up at him, watching the cogs in his brain whir as he tried to decide. Even the wolf knew what was what and she slid her muzzle off his lap and stood between him and Remus.

Remus reaches for Logan. He is not going to let him leave, too. He can do what he should’ve done with Virgil. What he should’ve done with Janus. As soon as he gets close to the wolf, she lets out a low growl and clamps down on his hand, teeth piercing the skin like it’s paper. His blood drips to the floor and Logan’s shadow gets longer as he follows Virgil out to the hallway and—

“I am not leaving.” Logan’s sharp voice popped the vision and Remus stared. The wolf was still curled on his lap, tail swish-swish-swishing against the cracked cement. “Nothing has changed. If I am to return, you must listen to me.” She whined again and Logan nodded, scritching her around the ears like he was a fucking puppy. “And you must listen to Remus. Not…” he raised his other hand, silencing Virgil’s protest faster than Janus ever could. “Not to do everything he says, but to listen. He is half of Thomas’ creativity. Some of his ideas are worth exploring.”

“You’ve fucking lost it, Logan! First Nico and now this?” Virgil shoved both hands in his hoodie pockets. “Fine. We’ll figure it out without you,” he muttered and backed away out of the room.

“If you choose not to see reason, then that is your best course of action,” Logan replied calmly, fingers buried in the wolf’s fur. It looked soft like that, plush and comforting like one of Pattycake’s stuffies. The door slammed and Remus looked up. He hadn’t even seen the Emo leave.

Allergic Rhinitis: Tips for Managing Symptoms and Finding Relief

Hey there, Tumblr community! 🌸 Allergic rhinitis can be quite a nuisance, but fear not, because today I'm here to share some tips on managing its bothersome symptoms. Whether it's seasonal or perennial, these suggestions might help you find some relief!

Avoid triggers: Identify and avoid allergens that trigger your symptoms. Common culprits include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold. Keep your living spaces clean and dust-free, use allergen-proof covers on pillows and mattresses, and consider using an air purifier to reduce exposure.

Medications: Over-the-counter antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops can help alleviate symptoms like sneezing, itching, and congestion. If your symptoms are severe or persistent, consult a healthcare professional who may prescribe stronger medications or recommend immunotherapy.

Nasal irrigation: Rinsing your nasal passages with saline solution can help clear allergens and relieve congestion. You can use a neti pot, squeeze bottle, or nasal spray for this purpose. Remember to use distilled or boiled water and follow proper hygiene practices.

Allergy-proof your lifestyle: Pay attention to your surroundings and make adjustments accordingly. Avoid spending time outdoors during high pollen counts, keep windows closed, use sunglasses to protect your eyes, and wash your clothes after being outside to remove allergens.

Holistic approaches: Some people find relief through complementary therapies like acupuncture, herbal remedies, and breathing exercises. While the effectiveness of these methods may vary, it's worth exploring them if you're open to alternative approaches.

Remember, these tips can help manage symptoms, but it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice. They can assess your condition and provide tailored recommendations for your specific needs.

Stay strong and don't let allergic rhinitis dampen your spirits! Feel free to share your own tips or experiences in the comments below. Let's support each other in finding relief. 🤗💕

I'm considering getting my nips pierced and I have a few questions c:

(Only if you're comfortable with answering ofc)

How do you stop it from getting caught on clothing?? I'm super scared of tearing through the skin accidentally

Is the pain bad? How long does the pain last?

How long did it take to heal and what kinda aftercare is involved?

Thank you!!! 💐🍄💗💞🌸

I’m happy to help!

As long as you’re not wearing crochet tops you should be fine. I’ve never really had an issue with mine getting caught on clothing. However wearing deep v sports bras has been an issue like if I’m lying on my side and the bra tries to go under the piercing 😅 you just have to move care fully and be aware. The same goes with your hair. Especially in the shower, be aware of where your hair is. It’s easy to get your hair wrapped around or stuck under a piercing. It’s important not to yank but to carefully remove the hair when that happens

The best way I can describe the initial piercing is that it hurts like a bitch. It felt like fire going through me but only for a few seconds. It helps to breathe while it’s happening! After that, o was surprised how little pain I was in. Personally I wasn’t sore or in pain the next day

Healing can take over a year. These piercings do not heal quickly even if they seem healed they are not. For me, I soaked them in salt water twice a day for 6 months and then just once a day for the rest of the year. And I got a saline solution and cleaned them with a q tip about 6 times a day. They do require a lot of aftercare. You also have to sleep on your stomach for a bit.

I hope this was helpful! 💖

#Sponsored by @0.8l_usa in exchange for my review and experience of Ash Pink Contact Lenses from @lens_town_official 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺 I opted to try LensTown Ash Pink Contact Lenses from LensTown a Korean Beauty Brand. This brand is made of Silicone Hydrogel for Soft Contact Lenses. With proper cleansing, disinfecting and storage my Ash Pink Contact Lenses should last 6 months. These lenses can be ordered with prescription or without. They come properly packaged in separate vials in saline solution. In the package I got 2 vials with each single contact. A travel case + plus tweezers and contact storage case. I’m a long time contact wearer. I’m already prepared with saline solution. These soft contacts are nice and pliable. Easy to insert, comfortable to wear even for stigmatism. I have dark brown eyes, and the pink color literally changed my eye color. Having a different eye color, changes the appearance by shape & size of my eye. I felt and looked cool + sassy. I want to order more in different colors. These are fun to play with, and make a fashion statement.
