Was given permission to write this so ummmmmmmm
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
Henry Morris slams his hand on the alarm, just like every other morning at 6 am. But unlike every other morning at 6 am, the middle-aged British man's hand phased through and the alarm kept going. He was glad though that he had finally gotten around to set it to automatically turn off in 5 minutes, thus letting him finish his morning routine.
Henry checked his work notifications while doing all the things he needed to do to look presentable. He may work in a cubicle, but you never know when your boss or someone else in upper management will decide to pay you a visit and he was already written up once for being unpresentable. Despite some hiccups, like the toothbrush falling on the floor and his hair simply not listening and refusing to look nice, he managed to get it all done in 15 minutes, leaving 30 to get to work. It took a bit of trial and error to get a car that he's only for 5 years he got barely used started, but then it was off to work.

------
As weird as it was driving to work, what with all the strange looks from passersby, it was nothing compared to the sight at his workplace, Nintendo of America. With the appearance of an average office building, inside was bustling with unusual work.
"How do you delete an email?" One upper management person cluelessly asked an exhausted IT guy next to them, who let out an exasperated sigh before showing the step by step process.
"Can I get help carrying all this?" Another person called out, making a fellow low paid worker have to do something outside of the things they applied to do.
Amongst the chaos, Henry noticed a familiar face: Austin Sanders, his partner in crime. They were hired around the same time and quickly got along. They tried to meet up outside of work once, but because of how long work was all they could think of doing was sleeping together and it just sounded "too gay" for them. As a result, they only did stuff together at work. Henry went over to say hi.
"Do you think we'll get a day off to go to the funeral?" Austin told a fellow coworker by the water dispenser. All three of them laughed loudly at the thought of their higher ups approving of a non-mandated day off. The laughing slowly died down as they looked solemn.
"Seriously though," Austin said, not a hint of the smile that was just there. "I'm going to to miss Henry."
"You were close weren't you?" The coworker asked for clarification. Austin just silently nods as he gets a comforting hug.
Henry just chuckles at the absurdity of this, saying that he's right there and they could stop this horrible prank now because it was scaring him, but it's like no one could hear him. Like he hadn't said anything at all.
He decides to try to get his friend's attention. He waved his hand in front of his face, tapped on his shoulder, even attempted to shake his chair. Henry, in a last ditch effort to get his attention, lunged him... and ended up in the Wii connected to Austin's other monitor.
The good news is that it got John's attention when the Wii turned on. The bad news is that it also got everyone else's attention.
Henry was in the Wii, possessing the Mii he created before he died. The monitor turned on, displaying the Mii Channel. "How the-"
Jonathan was the first to scream, inciting a widespread panic. The only one not running around screaming like a headless chicken was his friend Austin. The guy who's been with him through thick and thin, the ups and downs this place gave him. The person who know him best, and while his best friend was possessing the Wii in front of him, all Henry saw on his face was fear.
"I can explain," the possessed Mii said, not realizing how deep and distorted his voice got until now. "Or I can at least try."
"Ok," Austin said, stepping back and getting a bit concerned. "What did you do?" Henry stood there, explaining his whole day, not missing a detail, while the man standing just nodded.
"I think you should go to wherever you live in the afterlife," Henry was told after some thinking. "I don't what that entails, but I'm sure it's not here."
"But what about you?" Austin was asked back, almost shocked by it. "You won't last long without me, will you?" John assures Henry that he'll do his best to stick around for as long as he can.
Austin stayed after work hours, finishing up some things. He played around in SketchUp, making a tall bald robotic low-poly character. While they played around and chatted, someone snuck behind Austin and killed him. The Mii Henry possessed, Eteled, screamed at the sight of his friend being brutally murdered. It wasn't long before Austin's ghost possessed the 3D modeled character he made.
With some work, Austin found his way into the Wii, using his model as a Mii.

Don't mind those people baby!!!!! Your writing is AMAZING just the way it is, I LOVE IT, never change your mind!!! We love you sm and want you happy and healthy to keep writing your storiessss 💞💞
I have a question, BUT PLEASE I DON'T WANT IT TO SOUND LIKE HATE PLS OMG
So, wdy write smut\fluff\fanfics for rockstars (like James, Dave, Kirk)? What's your motivation for it?
Like, I'm pretty new to this part of the fandom and this question has been in my mind since the beginning 😅
HI HI I LOVE YOU SO MUCHH!!!
To answer your question, I’ve been in the fanfiction community a long long time, I started reading fics when I was 9.
I’ve been writing for 6-7 years now.
For me, fanfiction was a way to escape reality. And as a fellow loser myself, I was quite the hopeless romantic, so crushes on celebrities, characters, whatnot, is not a new concept to me lol
I realized one day that since I write so much, I want people to enjoy it, like you guys on here!
That’s why I don’t have any specific rules for my page, because people can be into whatever they like, and indulge in whatever, as long as it’s legal lol
I’m not here to make anyone feel bad and I just wanna be someone on here that can bring you some sort of comfort in a reality other than this one :)
LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!! 🤍

Wii Saved You: A WDY AU Oneshot
is this future au? maybe. idk. i just needed to cope with yk that one death everyone ignores
uhh two whole people expressed mild interest in reading so im taking that as a very enthusiastic yes
behold; idiocy, fangirling and shitty writing bundled into a neat little tumblr post for you all to blacklist <3
"What do I do? Oh, Eteled, what do I do?!" Sam wailed in a frenzied panic. She could already smell the almost sulfuric tang of the Wii starting to melt as she collapsed onto the couch opposite the TV, her head in her hands.
"I don't know, anything you can do to keep the Wii cool, I think." Eteled responded, glancing over his shoulder to check if the Corrupted Mii had recovered in the meantime. The panic in his voice was carefully concealed, smothered by a layer of collectedness that a part of Sam couldn't help but be amazed by, even in this dire situation. "Sam, I need you to stay calm. If the Wii melts, I'll be fine, but I could never forgive myself if something happened to yo-"
"The freezer! Would that be cold enough?" Sam exclaimed suddenly, springing up. She hadn't even been listening to Eteled, her mind racing too fast for the Mii's speech to even have time to register.
"Wh- oh, yeah, I think so."
He paused for a moment, as if he was sighing, but there was no noise.
"But before you unplug the Wii, I-"
Sam stopped dead in her tracks, already halfway to unplugging the cord.
"Y-Yeah?" she stammered.
"-thank you, for everything. I... couldn't have made it through the past week without you." Eteled said, in a tone that would have been accompanied by a blush, had he been human.
"Oh, Eteled, I..." Sam began to say. Her heart seized up and tears threatened to burst from her eyes. She bit her lip.
"I couldn't have made it without you, either." she finally said.
Sam reached for the cord and tugged. It snapped off with a clunking noise, and without a moment's hesitation she picked up the Wii and dashed frantically across the house to the kitchen. "Please work, please work, please work..!" she panted to herself subconsciously, yanking the freezer door open once she got there. Her eyes scanned the shelves desperately for any empty space. The burning smell was getting worse now, and a faint black smoke had started trickling from the Wii. In a last-ditch attempt she decided to sacrifice a bag of peas and face her mom's wrath later.
"Goodbye, Eteled." she whispered, tears welling up despite her best efforts, as she pushed the freezer door shut.
After that, she just leaned in front of the fridge, heart still pumping madly, trying to take in what had just happened.
"The Corrupted Mii, whoever he is... and he just did that, I can't..."
Her knees gave way and she sank to the floor with a muffled sob.
"M-Maybe I should just.. get on my PC a bit. Try and forget." she said to herself between hiccups. Wiping her eyes on the sleeves of her hoodie, she got up and shakily walked to her room.
She turned on her computer, and got a Skype notification...
...from Kyle.
"Yeah, no."
Sam dismissed the notification and just stared absentmindedly at her desktop screen for a minute. There wasn't really anything she felt like doing in particular, but it was far too early to check on the Wii, and her mother wouldn't be home for another hour and a half.
With a sigh, she double-clicked on the pixelated chicken logo that belonged to Stardew Valley. Even though she typically preferred FPS games, there was something about Stardew's art style and music that soothed her.
The main menu loaded in, and -after taking a moment to trigger the easter egg that revealed three Junimos- Sam pressed the 'Load Game' button and opened up her farm.
Although she could barely focus on the screen in front of her for the first couple minutes, she eventually lost herself in the gentle tinkling music of the game, even almost knocking her water bottle over in excitement when she caught a pufferfish.
She had completely forgotten about the Wii and Kyle until the doorbell ringing jerked her back to reality.
"Oh- goodness, has it been that long already..?" she muttered to herself, glancing at the time displayed in the corner of the screen to confirm that yes, she had indeed spent an hour and a half saving up gold for a third chicken.
"And you haven't checked on the Wii, either. Eteled is probably freezing in there." a rather unpleasant part of her brain reminded her. "Oh, shoot!" she said, smacking her forehead. She had every intention to get to the kitchen right that instant, but she remembered her waiting mother while passing the door. She groaned and reached for the handle.
"Hi, mom, welcome home!" she said hurriedly, opening the door. "I'd love to stay and chat, but I think I, uh, left the microwave on. I'll be right back!"
It was a lousy excuse, but Sam managed to sprint off before her mother could stammer a response. She yanked the freezer door open and grabbed the Wii, sparing a moment to stuff the bag of peas she'd sacrificed back into the fridge. She had to stop herself from gagging at the horrible smell the Wii had left behind.
"Surely, that was long enough.." she muttered to herself once safely back in her room, setting the Wii down and plugging it back in. The exterior felt frigid, but traces of that slightly sulfuric smell still lingered in the air.
The Wii startup jingle played, and without a moment's hesitation she opened up the Mii Channel.
"S-Sam! T-Thank goodness you're b-back-" Eteled said hurriedly as soon as the Mii Channel opened. He was shivering, clearly the freezer had done its job...
Except the entire interface was glitching madly. The initial adrenaline rush had stopped her noticing when the Wii first opened, but now the screen was at a standstill, Sam wondered how she'd missed it before.
"I-I don't think it worked, t-the Wii's still m-melting. T-The freezer slowed it down a l-little, b-but now that it's out... W-What Austin d-did, the hardware w-was never b-built to handle it." Eteled continued, voice getting more distorted by the second.
"So the Corrupted Mii's real name is Austin," Sam noted dimly. "That explains the glitchy name bubble."
"What else can we do?!" she yelled in desperation, a mixture of fear and panic and anger- to whom she was angry at, she didn't know- in her voice. She didn't even care that her mom had most definitely heard her scream, she was about to lose her only friend, and she was absolutely helpless.
"What else can we do..." Sam repeated weakly, through a sob.
After letting the moment of quiet where Sam continued to hiccup silently drag on, Eteled opened his mouth to speak.
"T-There is one other t-thing w-we could try... b-but... no. It's too r-risky, you c-could burn yourself." Eteled said. He was evidently still freezing.
Sam leapt up, eyes already a little red. "What is it?"
"I d-do technically exist w-within this Wii's m-memory right now, s-so I think, if y-you get the SD c-card out of t-this one and get a n-new Wii t-to replace t-the other h-hardware, we s-should b-be fine."
Sam blinked.
"I t-told you it was a b-bad idea, as if you'd go t-through a-all that trouble j-just for m-me..." Eteled laughed weakly. At the same time, Sam said; "That's absolutely brilliant, let me go find a toolbox!"
The two stared at each other for a moment.
Then, miraculously, idiotically, wonderfully, they burst out laughing. How they managed to find humour in the situation, neither was sure, but it felt so wonderful they didn't care to stop.
The golden moment was broken by the acrid smell of burning plastic suddenly intensifying.
"Oh, shoot, the Wii, I'm an idiot- did you say the freezer was working? I should get it back in there." Sam remembered, internally slapping herself.
"A little, but I think it would be safer to get the SD card out now, before something happens." Eteled suggested. His shivering had stopped completely. Sam nodded and brushed her hand against the console on her way out, and she could tell why. The Wii felt hot enough to give her burns if she kept her hand on it for a moment too long.
However, when she reached the door, she hesitated. "I can't just leave him in there..."
After a brief second of delay, she picked up the fan that had been collecting dust in a corner of her room since fall and placed it beside the console.
"I'm going to unplug the Wii now, to hopefully let it cool down a bit." she notified Eteled. He nodded wordlessly, and Sam mirrored his silence as she tugged the cord out of the socket and plugged in the fan.
After adjusting the fan's angle to make sure the Wii was getting as much airflow as possible, Sam made a quick dash to her parents' room, threw a cabinet door open and heaved up the toolbox, and quickly sprinted back to her own room in record time.
She grabbed her laptop with one hand and set the toolbox down beside the Wii with the other, creating a small thunk noise in the process. She opened her laptop and looked up how to dismantle a Wii. It took a few tense minutes of furious Googling, but she managed to find an online tutorial eventually.
Sam slipped on a pair of clumsy heatproof gloves and dug through the mountain of screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches and just about everything else until she spotted the ones she needed.
"Here goes nothing..." she muttered to herself, making her first jab at the Wii with shaking hands.
She felt almost as though she was doing surgery as she unscrewed the areas the website was telling her to. The fan was still working in a flailing attempt to keep the Wii cool, and although the airflow wasn't strong enough to get through her heatproof gloves, it did remind her of the whirring machines one might find in a medical drama.
"Or..." she remembered the hospital Eteled had shown her, only a few days ago. A shiver ran down her spine. No. She wasn't thinking about that.
Sam reached for the lid and lifted it off gently. A hand subconsciously went up to wipe the beads of sweat she hadn't even noticed had appeared on her forehead.
She glanced at the tutorial and noted the SD card's size and location, identified it, and gently picked it out using a bent paperclip. Just as carefully, she placed it on her gloved hand.
It was actually kind of funny, knowing that Eteled was contained in the little black rectangle in her palm. A part of her wondered what Kyle would think of this, the "traumatizer" of his childhood stuck in a tiny plastic box.
She couldn't help but smile, even as the Wii let out a terrible sputtering noise and filled the vicinity with smothering black smoke for a brief moment before the fan blew it away. Sam reached for the fan's button and clicked it shut.
She plugged in the decade-old Wii one final time. She didn't even know what she was expecting it to do -she had removed its memory card, after all- but the poor machine's fans whirred to a start and the light turned green once more.
It was almost done starting up, clunking sounds coming from inside the console, when it abruptly stopped. The fans died down, the light sputtered out. The machine exhaled a last stream of black sulfuric smoke, the most it had released so far.
And with that, the Wii had fully melted. The only remaining accessible part of it was clenched in Sam's fist. She looked down at the thing. It had been through so much. So had the Mii inside of it.
She smiled, brought it up to her face, and whispered.
"Wii did it, Eteled."
"Wii did it."
