My birthday has passed!!! I now have more legal freedoms than I probably should be allowed!!!!!

Anyways, as a happy birthday gift to myself I'm combining my favorite things in a fic. Little snippet:

“Holy shit,” Crystal gasps. “It's an actual-”

“Hellhound. Yes. Very astute Crystal.” Edwin grits out, hands shaking as he reaches for the rebar, barely making it a few centimeters before Crystal's swatting his hands away.

“You're not supposed to remove it!” She snaps.

“I cannot bleed out Crystal! I am a ghost!” Edwin groans, half out of pain – it's nowhere near as bad as the Dollhouse he reassures himself, it does not work – and half out of exasperation. Still, she swats his hands away like a pesky child reaching for hot plates.

“It's still fucking iron you moron!”

[fellow-fandom-fruitifier]

Giggling and kicking my feet as I latch onto this post like a parasite

W - Were he a stronger boy – perhaps the lack of muscles is what makes him the spitting image of a fairy – the spine of Nancy Drew would warp under his fingertips.

I - It’s Hell.

T - The first moment, Edwin wonders if Crystal and Charles are okay, if they've been hit or immobilized.

C - Crystal kind of wants to take him out to a bar to see who can get the most free drinks from greasy, drooling men.

H - He knows he's not exactly all there right now but there's no sodding way he lost a wolf bigger than his mum's kitchen.

I choose the word ✨MAGIC✨

WIP Word Train!

Rules: tagger gives a word, then for each letter of that word you share a sentence/excerpt from your wips that start with that letter.

Tagged by @vyther16 for the word GHOST ✨

G - Grand bloody muck-up, that was.

H - He's only sort of vaguely aware of Edwin setting him down on the bed; he's only sort of vaguely aware that it's soft and bloody lovely, the blanket properly plush under him, what with being solid from the iron, still. 

O - "Oi," says Charles, abrupt and a bit panicked. "That's not it at all."

S - Surely it cannot be worse than the Wailing Nixie Incident of '03, nor even the Peculiar Breadbox Affair of '97.

T - This close, it is impossible to miss the way Charles shifts slightly, as though entirely too aware of the weight and pressure of Edwin perched there in his lap.

I'll pick the word WITCH.

I posted this awhile ago and finally started working on it 😭😭, here's a sneak peak for the first chapter!!!!:

Without pause or permission, his father opens the door, stepping in with a soft smile that's getting rarer every day.

“Hey kiddo,” he says. Slipping into the room and leaving the entrance cracked. Edwin obligingly shuffles over to make room for dad to sit, hurriedly marking his page with the crayon-scribbled bookmark Alys made him. “Don't worry about what your mother said at dinner, okay? Never been a fairy to the Payne name and my son won't be the first.” Edmund lays a strong hand against the nape of Edwin’s neck. “Now will you?” Their parents are seldom physically affectionate so he's not sure whether to lean in and savor it, or freeze and wait for him to pull away.

Father's calloused fingers feel like a molten brand closing in with each passing second. “Mm-mm.” Edwin affirms, shaking his head. His knuckles whiten around the novel.

“That’s a good lad.” Edmund roughly pats Edwin’s back and makes him choke on his tongue, father gets up from the bed and strides over to the door. “It's late, get some rest. You've got fencing lessons at the crack of dawn.” And with those final words, he exits Edwin’s room. The young boy stares at the closed door trying to process. He’s never had fencing lessons. This is something new. Something new because mom accused dad of not toughening him up.

Edmund had been in Edwin's room – his sanctuary – for a minute, maybe two if he rounds up, and while it certainly feels like a whirlwind blasted through his room, it also feels like his father took the time to coat all his belongings in withering gunk. A complicated knot contorts in his chest and he squirms in discomfort. Edwin doesn't know what a fairy is, not really. He knows they're bad and go against God's wishes, but he doesn't know what makes his mom think he's one.

He doesn't know how to stop looking like one.

Adjusting the wrinkled piece of paper she holds it up high, moonlight barely peeking past the suffocating fog perpetually haunting Zaun. Dead center – underlined in red with semi-clear instructions on how to get there – is ‘The Lanes’, Jinx’s last known location. Lowering the shoddy map, she steals herself.

“Alright, Jinx,” she murmurs. Pocketing the paper as she takes a step back and gets ready to leap. “Here I come.”

Drops this & scurries away

“As of recently, however, the two have been getting along. Saving someone twice in the same year does that apparently. Getting along seems to present its own set of problems, however. Said problems being their old habits.

See back when Wukong and Macaque were still together they had these… routines for lack of a better word. One of said routines was making sure they kissed at sunset, no exceptions. This had led to… a bit of property damage… sometimes a lot…

Or: Five times these idiots kissed at sunset, plus one time Mei and MK finally figured out what was going on.”

Yknow how like some couples will have like a specific day of the week where they make absolutely SURE they kiss each other at least once?

Yeah, in the past Wukong and Macaque had something like that, except they'd do it every night at sunset. It was to the point where they'd run, break through rocks, leap over people, etc, just to make sure that they were on time for their Sunset Kiss

Nowadays, I NEED you all to imagine what would happen if one of them unthinkingly saw the sunset while they were hanging out and, tired from a long day, leaned over and kissed the other, and then just LEAVES like thats still a normal thing to do.

So then the next day at sunset the other one gets a "revenge kiss"

And then they just... continue doing that. Again. It becomes somewhat of a competition whilst trying not to get caught by anyone else.

(@mythicalmagical-monkeyman asked “ROYAL AU?” but it disappeared?.???😭😭 so just pretend I answered the ask rn💀💀)

ROYAL AU!!!

Basically I watched Cinderella & immediately decided I need royalty/borderline fairytale/fantasy AU shadowpeach. SWK is ofc the king & 6EM is apart of a ragtag group of entertainers that call themselves “The Lantern”, they r all sum kind of “”freak”” which is what brought them 2gether. The premise was originally just a feel good story where the Bull Kingdom invites The Lantern to play @ the Sun Kingdom, & SWK falls in luv w/ 6EM & vice versa. But I am incapable of keeping it simple so now there’s ✨lore✨

We have The Lantern (Macaque, Bai He, Peng, Yellowtusk, Azure)

Dragon Kingdom (Ao Lie, Mei, Ao Guang, Mei’s parents, etc)

Sun Kingdom (MK, Wukong, Tang, Pigsy, Sandy, Mo, Guanyin, Nezha)

Bull Kingdom (Demon Bull King, Princess Iron Fan, Redson)

Bone Clan (Lady Bone Demon, Mayor — idk what 2 call him yet)

Spider Clan (Spider Queen, Syntax, Goliath, Huntsman)

(The short writing/WIP below, fair warning I haven’t reread it or anything & this is the 1st draft + it’s old💀💀💀, it’s also kinda just an idea dump so idk how much would actually b canon 2 the AU yet)

The dark and looming forest, something usually eerie enough to send the bravest men running, was made less intimidating by the warm violet fire light. The campfire crackled as the group around it told tales, smiles wide and bellies ready to be filled. The sound of laughter only added to the homey atmosphere.

Peng cackled as Bai He told the story of how Demon Bull King, their closest ally, attempted to court Princess Iron Fan only for her to turn the tables. Sweeping him off his feet instead. The story wasn’t new nor was this the first time it had been told, yet it sent their feathered friend rolling each and every time it was regaled.

Macaque rolled his eyes fondly, lips quirked up in a soft lopsided grin. “Alright,” he said, catching everyone’s attention. “The food is ready. Bring your bowls and get your fill,” he said. Holding up the ladle from the pot strung up above their fire. Several cheers were heard. The more polite few, Azure and Yellowtusk, giving their thanks and the less patient, Peng and Bai He, giving theirs when elbowed from the former.

Macaque rolled his eyes at their antics, scooping the soup from the pot into their clay and wood bowls. “Thank you for foraging Yellow,” he nodded gratefully. Yellowtusk smiled.

“Anything for your cooking brother,” he said with an elegance only he could hold. Bai He nodded eagerly, completely agreeing. Azure admonished her for it, reminding her to eat properly lest she choke. The girl, at the soonest opportunity, maturely stuck her tongue out at him. Causing Peng to snort and actually choke. Yellowtusk patted them on the back.

Macaque smiled warmly at his little ragtag group. They were traveling entertainers. All of them were a freak of some kind, Macaque a shapeshifter who puts on shadow puppet shows. Having been ‘blessed’ with the gift of shadow and the sixth ear from a young age, he’d been sought out and held captive for many years before he’d found Bai He.

Bai He is a winter fae. Winter fae have quite the bad rap and yet she’s the sweetest girl he’s ever met. Brave and compassionate, she cares so brightly for her friends that it’s impossible for them to even doubt their place by her side. Macaque had met her when he’d been captured by the Bone Clan. The two had escaped together and the start of their theater began, turns out she had quite the knack for special effects.

The next to join their small gang was Azure Lion, a griffin cursed to live as part man. Apparently the man had some bad friends back in the day which had led him to his capture, a cage which Bai He and Macaque had freed him from. Azure had proved quite the leader, quickly taking the reins of their group and helping organize shows.

After him had been both Yellowtusk, a great warlock, and Peng, a magnificent harpy. They had encroached on the twos land by accident where Peng had fiercely attacked them. Upon discovering the misunderstanding they’d invited them in as an apology. Rather Yellowtusk invited them in. Turns out the two had been rather bored living on their own and Yellowtusk had always wanted to explore the world. So their three soon became a five.

Peng made a good scout and bodyguard while Yellowtusk knows plenty about medicine. Macaque also valued the warlock's insight when it came to plants. He always had the best ideas for add ons.

In their travels they had made many friends and ally’s. Their biggest ones, as mentioned previously, was the Bull Kingdom. Demon Bull King, a powerful centaur; his wife Princess Iron Fan, an elemental witch that has a deep connection with the wind; and their son Redson, half centaur and half elemental witch who, unlike his mother, has quite a strong connection to fire.

The five had been visiting both for shelter and to perform when an opposing kingdom had attacked. The group had lent their aid in the battle and quickly endeared themselves to the royals. The Bulls even going as far to claim them as family.

Smiling Macaque scooped up some of the mushroom soup and blew on it to cool it down, carefully taking a sip from it. He hummed in satisfaction. Yet another meal made to perfection. The next kingdom they plan to stop by is the Sun Kingdom. Apparently a great ball will be happening and the Bull Kingdom had invited the five to attend and perform, to which they had agreed.

Bai He had been rather ecstatic. According to the forest animals the Dragon Kingdom would be attending, another ally of theirs. Mei, the princess, had almost immediately taken to Bai He and the two became thicker than thieves. Of course not all kingdoms were receptive to their kind so Macaque was just hoping they would be welcome in the Sun Kingdom. While he wasn’t positive he would take his Bull brothers word for it.

After finishing the soup Bai He gathered up the dirty dishes, grumbling all the while as if the chore roster hadn’t originally been her idea. Her bug-like wings quivered as they rid themselves of the dust of the day. Bai He wore a light blue sleeveless top, that always reminded him of frost, with dark blue trimming. She also donned baggy white shorts and darker blue boots tied up with black leather string. The only thing with true color variation was the pink handkerchief holding her long black hair, which had a stripe of white, back from her face. A gift from Mei that the dragon girl said would bring out her warm brown eyes.

Peng had dark teal baggy shorts as well as a purple loincloth held up by a golden belt. A dark green feather sticking out from their black hair pulled up into a high bun. Yellowtusk wore a simple dark purple robe with gold accents, a compliment to his brother's outfit. His white hair is short and tucked back behind his ears with a few loose strands framing his face. While Azure wore skin tight black pants and shirt, which only had one sleeve and was cut diagonally in a way that exposed half of his torso, and finally a golden armored skirt with gold shoulder pads. His ginger hair pulled into two braided pigtail resting in his shoulders.

Macaque himself had a red cloak, a black baggy shirt with even baggier sleeves and gold accents, dark red pants, and black boots also with gold accents. The shapeshifters own short black hair simply slicked back to stay out of his face. The only real thing their clothes had in common was a necklace crafted by Yellowtusk, the symbol was his shadow lantern and each amulet was enchanted with protection wards.

Macaque absolutely did not cry when Yellowtusk handed them out no matter what Peng says. Which is super hypocritical because they totally did.

ANYWAYS!

“Alright!” Azure spoke. Gaining the attention of the group he smiled, clasping his hands together as Bai He came back from the river with the freshly cleaned dishes. “It’s getting late and if we wish to arrive in time we must leave earlier,” he announced. Grumbled agreements rang through the camp as the group pulled out their blankets.

Macaque wheezed as Bai He tackled him, wrapping her arms and legs around him like a koala. “Really?” he groaned. She laughed as he pulled the blankets up over them. The next to lay down was Yellowtusk and Peng, then finally Azure. He closed his fist and the fire went out, their supplies being gathered up by shadows and deposited in their rightful place.

The five gathered up their blankets and pillows for their cuddle pile. Macaque relaxed into the bed as he shifted from his human form to his puma one, wrapping his tail around his sister's ankle in an effort to hug her back. Peng and Azure's wings spread out to cover them all as Yellowtusk whispered a spell of warmth. Soon the gathered heat of his family lulled him to sleep, excited for a full day of performance tomorrow.

——————

Wukong was excited. The neighboring kingdom, the Bull Kingdom, had invited the rather infamous traveling group The Lantern.
