Cottagecore Series DVD Bonus Features
By popular request: the deleted scenes of how Dream and Hob ended up confessing their respective Big Secrets to one another. Below the cut are a series of conversations that take place a few days after Dream announces his pregnancy with Orpheus, and they are incredibly angsty. They also heavily feature abortion as a conversation topic. These were originally written to intercut with at least two miracles but didn't end up working out due to tone issues, and also don't really work as a standalone fic, so. If you're interested--enjoy!
The possibility of a childâtheir child, their own, of themâhad occasionally crossed Hobâs mind, in the same way that other fantastical things like dragons and public libraries did. Fleeting. Unformed. Simple, wonderful little daydreams.Â
The reality of it was both impossibly more exciting and terrifying than he could have ever imagined.Â
Hob thought of a beautiful child with tiny pointed ears and glowing amber eyes. He thought of a babe born to the world still and pale, never to draw a single breath of life. He thought of all the stories his mother used to tell him, the skipping games and the toy swords and songs that lived inside of him, waiting to be passed down to someone small and new. He thought of a fae child, enamored of the forest and magic and books of learning, with little use for its mortal father.Â
Once, when Hob was young, his mother had been called to help an ewe who had been laboring for the better part of the day. Twin lambs, both trying to emerge at the same time.
Theyâd had mutton for dinner, that night. And for many nights after that.Â
Hob could not stop thinking about it. About everything.
What if the child came out completely human.Â
What if the child came out completely fae.Â
âYou told me once,â Hob said, the words leaving his mouth even as lead weights sank pits into his stomach, even as his heart said donât ask this donât ask this donât do it, but he had to, he had to know. âYou told me once. That it took you a very long time to grow up.âÂ
Dream paused. âYes,â he said, at length. âBut time in the realm of the fae is not so⊠linear as it is here. It isâit was subject to neither law nor order. Time was fickle. Changeable.âÂ
âYou said that it was almost a hundred years.âÂ
âThat was⊠a guess,â Dream said.Â
Hob stared.Â
âIt was unusual,â Dream added. He did not meet Hobâs eyes. âIt. It was a choice I made. The rest of my siblings came of age much faster than I.âÂ
âHow fast?â Hob asked, heart in his throat.Â
Dream swallowed.Â
âHow fast?âÂ
âThe child is half mortal, Hob it should notâit will not age as a fae child would. It cannot, itâit will not have the same power, the same gifts, and moreover, the laws of this universe would not allowââÂ
âOh, you know that, do you?â Hob asked, eyebrows raised. âLike you knew that a mortal man couldnât get you pregnant in the first place?âÂ
Dream flinched.Â
Hob sighed, and scrubbed at his face. âIâm just. Iâm just thinking. We donât know what weâre going to get, eight months from nowââ If they were going to get anything at all. ââand weâve got zero precedent to go off of, here. It. It could be anything. It could grow like a human and take sixteen years and be done. But, it could alsoâŠâÂ
âIt will not,â Dream said, but there was a traitorous wobble in his voice.
âIt could,â Hob insisted. âIt could, Dream, and we just. I just want to be prepared for that. I want you to be prepared for that.âÂ
Dream stared, like the whole world was crashing down around him. As if he had not considered this at all. âNo.âÂ
âYes.âÂ
âHobââÂ
âBut, listenâlisten, itâll be okay,â Hob said hurriedly, and took Dreamâs hands into his own. Put on the bravest face he could muster. âWhatever happens, itâll be okay. I promise. Iâll be with you every step of the way, for. For as long as I can be. Even if it means being stuck in the terrible twos for an entire decade. You just might have to do the teenage years on your own, thatâs all. And. You know. The thousand years that come after that.âÂ
Dream closed his eyes.Â
Hob tried desperately to rally. âAnd, hey! The good news is, at least I wonât be around to give any dodgy sex talks when it comes time for that, since I obviouslyââÂ
âHob,â Dream said.Â
âThough clearly pregnancy prevention isnât your strong suit either,â Hob allowed.Â
âHob.âÂ
Dreamâs eyes were open again, and they were full of tears.Â
âHob,â Dream said again, and it caught in his throat. âHob, IâI am not going to live for another thousand years.âÂ
Hob frowned. âButââ
âI made,â Dream said, and with the next blink the tears spilled over, âa bargain.âÂ
The reason that Hob had kept it a secret for so long (was because he was a coward) was because, in his opinion, there had been no good that would come of the truth.Â
Dream had assumed that the people of Eskham had turned against Hob for being a hedgewitch. Heâd assumed in turn that mortals were prejudiced against any being with magic, which was a category that happened to include the fae but more importantly included Hob, who did not have the ability to summon tornadoes or fell ancient oaks. Dream still sweetly seethed about the injustices Hobâs own people had done upon him. He had yet to even once seem concerned for his own safety.Â
This was fair.Â
Dream had, after all, taken out an entire village of mortals in one wrothful fell swoop.Â
Now, Dream had confessed what had happened in the aftermath of that massacreâwhat he had so readily sacrificed, to save Hobâs lifeâand it had been devastating in its own right. It had left Hob awake at night, imagining what it would be like to grow older and older and older, while his child did not.Â
But it had also pulled on the string that unraveled whatever remained of their tapestried joy at the possibility of impending parenthood. The happiness was gone. The happiness should never have existed in the first place, because the ache of its absence was far worse than to have never known it at all. Hob could not believe he ever felt such simple, mindless elation at what had quickly become a question to which every answer was more horrifying than the last.Â
Hob thought of a babe with perfectly pointed ears, stolen away in the night, drowned in the river.Â
Hob thought of a child with huge, phosphorescent eyes, tied to a stake above a pile of dried tinder. Screaming.
Hob thought of black-nailed teenager who had had forty-odd years of childhood with its parents before they succumbed to old age, and left their child alone in a world it did not belong in. Orphaned. Ostracized. Hunted.Â
It filled Hobâs stomach and left him unable to eat. It pressed down on his chest at night, and he could not sleep.Â
And he knew what he needed to do.Â
At the same table where Dream had confessed not three days ago, Hob sat himself heavily on the bench.Â
Dream stared back wanly. Heâd spent most of the morning vomiting copiously, which perhaps made this timing even worse, but Hob knew if he did not say it now he might never say it at all.Â
âDream,â Hob said carefully. The words stuck in his throat like glass, and they tore him open one by one as he forced them out. âThereâs. The other day, when you told me about the bargain you made. Iâthereâs something that I should. Something I should have told you, beforeâsomething. Something.â He swallowed. âSomething I. Something.â His nails dug into his palms. His heart was pounding in his ears. âSomethingââÂ
âHob.âÂ
Dreamâs hand splayed across his chest is like ice on fire. Hob sucked in a breath, and relished the burn.Â
He seized Dreamâs hand in his own. Looked Dream in the eyes. Prepared to pull this one last thread of sanity for the person he loved more than anything in this world.Â
âSomething,â Hob said unevenly, holding onto Dream like a lifeline, âthat I should have told you a long time ago. About. About Eskham.âÂ
Dream tilted his head, brows drawing together. âEskham?âÂ
Hob nodded.Â
âWhat about it?â Dream asked.Â
He had no idea. He had no clue.Â
âThat day,â Hob said, and he was gripping Dreamâs hand hard as if he could prevent the inevitable withdrawal. âWhen they came for me.âÂ
And Dream nodded. He reached out with his other hand to rest it on Hobâs forearmâa gesture meant as supportive that only served to make Hobâs stomach drop to new depths.Â
But this was not about him. This was not even about Dream. It was about their child, carried one day into a town square with pitchforks at its throat and devil spawn in its ears. It was about deserved truths.Â
âThat day,â Hob said again. He swallowed against a dry tongue. Against the heart that was trying to escape through his throat. âThat day. The mob. They werenât looking for me.â
Dream stared.Â
Hobâs heart was pounding so hard he thought he might be sick.Â
He watched, as Dreamâs face went from confusion, to realization, toâ
Bloodless.Â
Grey. Dead eyes and parted lips. Staring, but not seeing.Â
âIâdefended you,â Hob made himself say. âI wouldnât tell them. Where you were. I told them that I loved you, that you were just as natural as any other creature in this realm and that I would rather die before I let any of them hurt you, andââÂ
Dream yanked his hands back.Â
Hob tried to hold on, but he wasnât quick enough. Not strong enough.Â
âYou,â Dream whispered.Â
âI donât regret it,â Hob said frantically, almost angrily. He was losing control, the tidal wave of panic and horror sweeping him out to a roiling sea he could not swim in, and he barely knew which words would leave his mouth when he opened it again. âI havenât regretted it for a single second, Dream, not once, not ever, Iâd have burned on that stake a thousand times over before I let them touch you, IâdââÂ
And Dream bolted.Â
Hob leapt to his feet to followâbut his calf muscle seized, and he careened to the side and just barely managed to grab the table at the last second. Stood there, panting, gripping the table as his calf cramped hard enough to render the entire leg useless. Staring at the empty doorway.Â
He deserved this, he supposed.Â
It didnât make it hurt any less.Â
The summer air was thick and sweet beneath the canopy of the forest. The trees mostly blocked the breeze, but so also the warmth of the sun, which made it about as pleasant as any place was during the midday heat. They were sat at the base of an ancient yew tree that Dream favored, not far from the cottage, and had been for some time. Ravens chattered and rustled softly overhead. A large halo of bird shit was slowly accumulating around them.Â
Dream inhaled as if to speak, for the third time in about as many minutes. This time, though, the words came.Â
âI do not want. Our child. To be hunted.âÂ
Hob closed his eyes. âI know.âÂ
âWe do not know what powers it will be born to. What features it will be born to.âÂ
Unspokenâthe slimmest chance, the highest hope, that it would somehow be born wholly mortal.Â
A mortal body. A mortal magic. A mortal lifespan.Â
âWeâll do whatever we have to, to protect them. Whatever it takes. You know we will,â Hob said, and even as anxiety turned his stomach over, rage flared through him hot and fast. âAnyone that tries to lay a finger on our child, IâllâIâll kill âem. I would. Anyone. Everyone. And if they think Iâm terrifying just wait until they meet the thirty-foot forest nightmare right behind me that can summon hail and rent the earth.âÂ
Dream swallowed. âHail and earth. Did not save you.âÂ
Hob tightened his grip around Dreamâs waist. âYes it did.âÂ
âYouââÂ
âYes it bloody well did. You saved my life that day, you fought, and if you hadnât been there IââÂ
âIf I had not been there,â Dream interrupted darkly. He barked one harsh, bitter laugh. âIf I had never inflicted myself upon you in the first place, then no mob would have ever come for you at all. You would beââÂ
âLonely,â Hob said. He tried desperately to keep the frustration from rising. âI told you. I would have been lonely, and bored, Dream, and I would have died in that house feeling as if Iâd never truly lived at all. You are the best thing to ever happen to me.âÂ
âI nearly killed you,â Dream said.Â
âYou savedââ
âAnd now,â Dream continued, staring into the depths of the forest, âI have attempted to thrust a child upon you, without your consent. I have tried to sentence you to spending the rest of your meager years consumed in the care of a creature that will only suffer as a result of my own hubrisâmy own selfishnessâand it will resent us. It will hate us. It will hate me, and it will be right to do so forââÂ
âHey, hey, hey, hey, hey,â Hob said, scrambling around in front of Dream, and cupping his face.Â
Dream stared determinedly to the side, with eyes that were red-rimmed and shiny. His breaths came uneven and jagged.Â
âYou and I both know that you didnât get pregnant on purpose,â Hob said fiercely. âYou didnât know better. I didnât know better. Right?âÂ
âHobââÂ
âThis isnât something that youâve done to me. To us. Neither one of us is to blame here. Not one little bit. And it wouldnât matter anyway if it was, because whatever happens, you know that weâre in this together. Weâre going to do what we always do, and make it work. Figure it out. Pregnancy, childbirth, parenthood, all of it. Together. Yeah?âÂ
Dream set his jaw, and at last met Hobâs eyes. Slowly, he reached up, and pulled Hobâs hands away from his face.Â
âYou argue. That we are absolved of any guilt, for what strife our child may face in life. Because we held no intention of conception, in our couplings,â Dream said.Â
â...Yes?â Hob said, eyebrows raising. âI donât think we can be blamed for bringing a child into the world when we didnât know it was possible in the first place.âÂ
âIncorrect,â Dream disagreed.Â
Hob opened his mouth, but Dream continued too quickly.Â
âIgnorance acquits us from blame in the conception of this child, yes.â Dreamâs hand moved, in the periphery of Hobâs vision, delving into the folds of his robe. âBut we are not without agency, in these early months of pregnancy.âÂ
Dread swung sudden and hard into Hobâs chest, like a fist.Â
â...What do you mean?âÂ
Dream held out his hand between them, and uncurled his fingers. A cluster of flowers rested there.Â
Tansy.Â
âIt sings to me of⊠release,â Dream said. His thumb brushed over golden petals like spikes. âOf choice. Liberty. Of the harmonization of poison and medicine, as one.â
Hob took in a deep breath, because he was, for the first time in days, hopeful.Â
Hob was also terrified.Â
Hob was sick, sick, sick, sick.Â
âI believe,â Dream whispered, eyes boring in Hobâs, âthat it would be enough. Toâtake care of it.âÂ
There was a cup of water on the table, steaming and yellow with tansy.Â
Choice, Dream said it sang. Release. Liberty. The harmonization of poison and medicine, as one.Â
But to Hob, it was silent as a grave.Â
Dream was holding the cup so tightly his knuckles had gone white. The steam had long disappeared from the cup, leaving only a stagnant yellow tonic. Hob had offered to leave the cottage twice and allow Dream some privacy, and on the second time Dream had grabbed his hand, hard, and he hadnât let go since.Â
Hobâs fingers ached where they were threaded through Dreamâs, but he did not complain.Â
He sat in silence, and watched Dream raise the cup to his mouth.Â
Watched him inhale.Â
Watched him close his eyes.Â
Watched him press the rim of the cup to his lips.Â
Watched as Dream froze, and was perfectly still for an eternity save for the tremble of the cup in his graspâ
And the cup slammed down onto the table, sloshing poison everywhere, and Dream gasped, âI cannot. I cannot, forgive me, Hob, IââÂ
Hob grabbed him and pulled him in hard. âItâs okayââÂ
ââI cannot do it, I cannotââÂ
ââyou donât have toââÂ
âI should,â Dream snarled, gripping the fabric of Hobâs tunic and pushing back. There were tears streaming down his face. âI should end it, I should be rid of it. It is. It is the only humane option, the only option that guarantees thatâthatââÂ
âI know, love,â Hob said miserably, his own throat going tight and hot. âI know that. ButââÂ
âHob,â Dream choked out. He tried to inhale, but could not. âHob, I canâhear it.âÂ
Hobâs heart skipped a beat, and his mouth went numb. âY-youââÂ
âI canââ Dream slapped his hands over his mouth. He stared at Hob in horror.Â
Dream, who could hear the songs of river stones and the herbs in the garden. Who communed with foxes and ancient oak trees alike. Who had come to Hob with news of this pregnancy but without explanation as to how he knew.Â
âYou can hear it,â Hob repeated blankly.Â
âI should not have told you,â Dream said, shaking his head. His eyes were blank and unseeing and wet with tears. âI. I should not have told you, I told myself I would not, Iâit should not matter. It does not matter.âÂ
âWhat does it sound like?â Hob asked.Â
Dream looked up at him. His mouth opened, but no words came out.Â
âDream, what does it sound like?âÂ
He shouldnât ask.Â
He couldnât not know.Â
âLike. A songbird,â Dream whispered.Â
A songbird.Â
âThe most beautifulââ Dream choked on a sob. âThe most beautiful songbird, Hob, the most wonderful songbird in the world.âÂ
And Hob. Hob, quite abruptly, could not imagine a world where he did not one day get to hear that song. He could not imagine a world in which he did not get to hold their child in his arms this winter and instantly fall in love with whatever features the world had seen fit to give them, mortal or fae or some splendid combination of both.Â
He could not imagine what it would be like, for Dream to sit at this table and drink down poison and then listen to the song of their child go silent.Â
Dream sobbed in his arms. He begged for forgivenessâfrom Hob. Their future child. The universe. I have failed, he said, over and over again. Selfish, and weak, and worthless, he named himself, and he would not be consoled with any combination or repetition of words Hob had to offer.Â
But still, the tansy sat untouched.Â
Eventually, it went out the window.Â
And the songbird lived another day.

So if I'm getting this right, Phainon and Mydei encompass:
Red and blue
Sun and moon
Cat and dog
Rivals to lovers
(Potentially) rivals to lovers to enemies
Perfectly matched rivals
They're idiots, your honor
My rival knows me best
The grumpy one is (sometimes) soft for the sunshine one
Only my rival gets to kill me
In fact, I'm counting on him for it
See you in another life
I am almost certainly forgetting some obvious tropes, and this is without taking into account the dramatic personality changes Phainon is almost certainly going to undergo and any relationship and trope dynamic shifts as a result.
The friendship! The rivalry! The trust! The tragedy! Truly Hoyo engineered these men in a lab to murder us.
#aewinblabs#hsr#spoilers#hsr spoilers#phainon#mydei#I feel a hyperfixation coming on for these two that I haven't felt for a pair since probably early kaveh and alhaitham#(and kaveh and alhaitham only intensified as they and their relationship aged like a fine wine)#for both of these pairs I *really* appreciate that there's personality and backstory there *outside* of the ship#these guys all stand amazingly as standalone characters#and the ship is the garnish that brings the dish together#anyways all of this also makes them the most pristine pair of switch verses I've seen for a while#can't wait to write both of them bouncing and moaning on it when I get the time

For someone who says she's not interested in writing retellings of classic novels, I've sure got a lot of classic novel retellings I really wish I could write.
Dystopian retelling of The Blue Castle
Science fiction retelling of The Secret Garden
Space opera retelling of North and South
WWI retelling of Persuasion
#adventures in writing#these are just the ones i think could make good standalone novels!#i'm leaving out the superhero austen-verse because that feels more like fanfic#not to mention the star wars aus of psmith and peter wimsey#making this list mostly for my own benefit#see how many i actually have#and which ones i consider higher priorities

Reason in the Noise | Dream x Hob | 3k | T | In-progress
CW: band au, musician Dream, touring, pining, fluff, slice of life, non-linear, adjusting to fame
He was never sure exactly how to react to the swarm of affection and loyalty from listeners; strangers. It was a lot⊠a lot more than Morpheus had ever anticipated. It was almost⊠terrifying.Â
And it was all happening so fast. With every passing day, ticket sales for the tour went up. Their debut album was frighteningly close to a gold certification by the RIAA (about 100,000 more units, according to Johanna), andâ although Morpheus himself had no online presence, he lived vicariously through his bandmatesâ theyâd somehow accrued a million followers on Endlessâ official Twitter page.
Morpheus didnât want to complain, or offer up excuses, but he was trying. He was trying to be Dream, this member of a band that didnât belong just to Leta and him anymore. Endless was shared not just with Mona, Dessi, and Del anymore. It had become co-opted with thousands of people; over a million, apparently. It didnât feel real.Â
And one of the only people, who hadnât treated him any differently because of all this, had agreed to come along on the tour as Dreamâs guitar tech.
[Ao3]
#dreamling#hob x dream#the sandman#rockband au#set in the verse of Bolt in the Blue#could also work as a standalone... read AN for more info#bolt in the blue vibes#Dream POV

Find Me (Find Yourself) Deleted Scene (11/15)
They easily reach the Tardis before the Chuldur get anywhere near them, but the Doctor still hurries to pull Rogue inside and close the door behind them. A wave of panic and pain sweeps over the Doctor as Rouge steps inside into the bright white light of the console room, and he feels Rogueâs hand leave his. He turns, and sees Rogue falling to his knees, his hands pressed over his eyes. His own panic rising to meet Rogueâs, the Doctor kneels beside him, wrapping an arm around him and pulling him close. Tension radiates throughout Rogue, his muscles taut with what could be either fear or pain.
âRogue, honey, whatâs wrong?â The Doctor asks, voice thick with concern. Rogueâs mouth twists in a pained grimace. Â
âSorry, Iâm alright,â he says, voice strained even as he tries to speak evenly. âItâs just been a long time since I was out of the dark. The planet didnât have any sort of daylight cycle.âÂ
âItâs okay, love, just breathe,â the Doctor says, rubbing small circles against Rogueâs back. He snaps his fingers with his other hand, and the lights in the Tardis console dim drastically until theyâre at about the same level as the glowing moss in the cave. Slowly, Rogue begins to relax against the Doctorâs arm, and he lowers his hands from his face. Thereâs tears trickling from his eyes that he quickly rubs away. Â
âSorry,â he says again, an edge to his voice that the Doctor might label anger if he couldnât taste the manâs utter mortification through their bond.Â
âHow long was it, for you? â The Doctor asks him, voice soft, still gently rubbing Rogueâs back. The touch seems to help ground Rogue as he thinks about the answer. Â
âHard to tell time without days,â Rogue says. âBut I think itâs beenâŠ.two, maybe three earth-standard months since 1813?â The Doctorâs brow creases. Â
âIâm so, so sorry Rogue. I wish we could have picked you up sooner, the Tardis isnât the best with precision and foreign dimensions-â
Rogue cuts him off with a weak smile. âIâm just glad you found me, Doctor.â He gently takes the Doctorâs hand and inspects it, looking at the ring on his pinkie finger. âYou kept it,â he starts to say, before heâs interrupted by a pounding noise behind them - the Chuldur, presumably, have finally caught up to them, and are trying to break into the Tardis. Â
âRight!â the Doctor says, jumping up suddenly. âThey shouldnât be able to break the Tardisâs defenses, but I believe thatâs my cue to get us out of here.â

one of my annoying medievalist traits that i don't usually voice because it makes me sound like a snob is that i find it funny when people refer to a single medieval text as a book
#like. modern editions and translations usually are a book yes#the text itself is/was not conceptualised as a standalone literary item like that though#it would usually have travelled with many other stories. it may be quite short. it's often verse#idk it's just a way of thinking about stories that often strikes me as funny#but it sounds like i'm laughing at people for not knowing that . which i'm not#so I don't say it#pearsanta

"Hey. Hey, hey-" Gently, if firmly, Akira grabbed onto Ryuji's shoulders, a soft expression on his face. "Look at me, hey. You're not dumb. I don't care what anyone says. Not our teachers. Not classmates. Not Morgana. Anyone. You're not dumb."
@trickstersshadow
Ryuji never thought to tell anyone about his own thoughts or fears regarding-- well, anything. His issues were of his own making after all, and they felt so much smaller and inconsequential compared to what everyone else was going through. He wasn't dealing with the aftermath of someone dear to him trying to kill herself, or with realizing that his mentor had been using him, or struggling to try to take down a crime boss--
He was just... kind of incredibly dumb.
He had to be dumb. There was no other explanation why things were so difficult for him that were second nature for everyone else. It wasn't that maybe he just learned things differently; he was dumb. Everyone knew that. His parents, his teachers, his friends. Hell, Morgana liked to remind him of it on a near-daily basis.
So having Akira suddenly grab his shoulders to speak to him, tone calm and firm and absolutely positive that he was saying the truth with each and every word.
Brown eyes blinked as Ryuji stared back at him. Something in his throat became tight as he felt something hot wanting to burst free from his chest.
The initial moment passed as he let out a laugh, though it was more than a bit weak. "Hey, what's gotten into you? C'mon man. You don't gotta worry about me. Don't-- you don't gotta worry, okay?"

@hymns-across-the-stars asked:
"You don't have to be evil any more than you have to be good. You can live a purr-fectly fine life without really being one or the other. And the fact you used to be a Dark Master doesn't need to mean anything anymore... unless that's what you choose to go back to." - gatomon to the reincarnated lil fuck
---------
Concealed in some bushes, Mushroomon stared at a particular group of eight Digimon, studying them from a distance.
He didn't get it. Even now, it just didn't make sense! Those DigiDestined humans and their partners... Cherrymon had said that he was lacking something, and whatever âitâ was, they had it, and it was the reason he had lost to them. The reason he was so weak now.
Yet, watching all those partner Digimon, he didn't see anything that made them so special! They were just... Sitting around and talking! He could do that, too!! He had an entire army to talk to whenever he wanted when he was a Dark Master! He even played with them whenever he wanted, too! And they did everything he told them to! Talking wasn't special!!!Â
But... They still killed him in the end. Cherrymon must have been onto something, as much as he hated to admit it.
Mushroomon clenched his fists.
It was so frustrating! The partner Digimon were right in front of him! What was he missing!? If only he were stronger, then he could march right up to those stupid Digimon and make them tell him the answer!
A voice from above broke him out of his thoughts. Scanning the treetops for its source, his eyes eventually fell upon... Her.Â
He'd been spotted.Â
Since when had she gotten here!? He glanced frantically between the Gatomon looking down on him from the tree and the rest of her blissfully ignorant group of friends out in the clearing. Sure enough, that little gathering indeed had only seven Digimon left in it, and the eighth was here with him.
And was... Talking to him?
Mushroomon looked away, fists still clenched, turning the other's words around in his mind.
âI want to be strong.â Being strong meant people listened to him. They tried to make him happy. They did what he said. They had to. âAnd I don't care what I have to do to get that way again!â âGoodâ? âEvilâ? None of that mattered! Getting strong meant getting more data, and so what if that data came from other Digimon? If they died, it was their fault for being weak!

because i just got remindedâ i will unfortunately say this nowâ i am Not that hyped about thund.erbolts âŠ
NOW HOLD UR TOMATOESâ while iâm very wary about itâ i do Really like the concept of it (except for valentina being basically their manager⊠donât trust her and i imagine the group being more Rogue anyway)
SO⊠iâm going to add to my canon divergence and probably put thund.erbolts either under an AU or just have it happen before TFATWS events⊠not sure how thatâll work yet but iâll figure it out LMAO
#âź || out of cryo.#and disclaimer; i donât hate thu.nderbolts i think the marketing is hilarious and fun i just donât like how theyâre fitting it story wise#( i just think the TFATWS arc for bucky was So perfect and i Hate theyâre trying to put him back into the WS box.#i Refuse to put him through more shitâ his 70 years of literal torture is enough along with the years heâs spent on the run#that and CWâŠ. being triggered againâ having to fight in wars again as if heâs not struggling with himself 24/7#i just think the timing of thunderbolts is Weird imoâ i know they set up walker at the end valentinaâs guidance but i did Not expect it to#go this routeâ im not an Expert on the comics so thatâs probably just me not knowing enough but Yeah#i love love love the idea of these characters becoming their own âavengersâ for like a one time villain i just donât like what theyâre#doing to my mansâŠâŠ.. i have Fear#my canon divergence has buck Not be a congressman bc wtf was Thatâ no sir#this is also coming from someone who wonât pay money to watch the new capâ i was So Hyped for it until didney decided to make suchâ#awful decisions STILL even after they practically rebranded and apparently rewrote shit!!!#sam i Adore as cap i just wish his first standalone in marvel wasnât in the middle of this messâŠ#anyhowâŠ. i gots some work to do timeline wiseâŠâŠ ill make a verse for thund.erbolts things but it wont be canonical setting#if that makes sense weepsâ ill think on it but Yeah thatâs my ramble for today#end rant SFHXZFVVX )

losing our grip (but not on each other)
pairing: anakin/obi-wan
word count: 2.9k
rating: explicit
main tags: a/b/o 'verse, alpha anakin, omega obi-wan, heat sex, modern au
summary:
âCouldnât fucking wait, could you, sweetheart?â Anakin murmurs against Obi-Wanâs lips, crooking his fingers and rubbing against the spongey spot deep inside that has Obi-Wan crying against his mouth. âItâs alright, gonna take care of you.â - Anakin swears they were having an innocent night of errands, but Obi-Wan's heat comes on suddenly and viciously. They don't make it home.

had the craziest au idea for a verse where the targaryens themselves are dragon shapeshifters. something something about the blood of the dragon and what's in the soul and how the body and soul can have different forms if you know how to set them apart something something. so basically arrax and luke are one and the same.
#àŒàż*·â
ooc :#initially this was an idea for a crossover verse#but ngl i kinda like it as a standalone au

anyway part 3 of my 2-part series that was definitely completed is now at over 67k words
and still a good five scenes out from completion
i used to do drabbles
i used to do 50 single sentence sets
i used to do like 5k and that felt like so much
this shift is still completely buckwild to me
im gonna have to try some shortform stuff again after this, if i can find any tiny inspiration
#once again feeling insecure that anyone even wants any of the stuff in this fic to be in this verse/series#have to keep reminding myself that just like the second part this is Pure Self Indulgence#im writing this for me and if other people enjoy it then good#and if they don't then the other two bits are still standalone to be enjoyed as is#but there were a lot of people who liked part two! so this might also find its people!#once i finish it

//hunter x supernatural trope my beloved but also rest in rip cuz sa's the only one of my muses whod do HuntingTM but also identifies more with monsters than humans and so would only have bias induced hostility against like. specific individuals with a bad rap LMFAO
#mun babbles //#wishlist //#IFG??????????#tho tbf theres also like. standalone/au verse options.........#whereupon its more of an absolutist binary#.............which like. vampire. knight esque stuff?????? of all things??????#(vk my beloved the premise had so much going for it but . laughs. WHAT THE FUCK?????/)
