@wwriothesley | i promised u the angst and here it is-
Some days are harder than others.
Even now, even after so long, they still have some twisted hold on him that he cannot shake. It's his curse, he thinks - to never be free of them. It's not enough that they've left their marks upon him. They had to sink their teeth in, leaving their venom to fester inside his mind, a pollution he will never cleanse.
It was a bad night. That's how it always starts. The dreams don't chase him as often these days, but they sneak up on him from time to time, often just at the point when he starts to believe that maybe, just maybe, that was the last one. He ought to know better by now. There will never be a last of anything.
There's no scream as he wakes - there never is. They're under his skin, crawling inside his head, but they'll never have that power over him again. He threw out the fear the moment he resolved to exterminate them like rodents. But he lies stiff beneath the tangled sheet, muscles tense, until he methodically works to loosen them one by one - a process that never fails to calm, to relax.
Sleep is a thing of the past now; he knows this as fact. He cannot, will not, submit to the oblivion of his dreams again, not when everything is so fresh and raw. It was a rough one this time - they're never easy, but this one hit hard in all the right places. The guilt sits like a lead ball in his gut, makes it hard to breathe. Normally, he would take himself to the ring, go a few rounds with a mek, channel his feelings the only way he knows how - the way he was taught.
Instead, his feet carry him in a different direction, towards the only one in the world who can ever truly, honestly, know how he feels.
The night guards know better than to question why the Duke - either of them - is wandering the Fortress at the witching hour, and he makes his way undisturbed to the central office where, in all likelihood, his twin is still asleep. The dimness of the lamps when he enters confirms his suspicion, and he considers leaving him to rest.
Archons know they both need it.
But there's a part of him that needs this - needs to seek out the comfort of a sibling the way he used to as a child. He has recollections of crawling into an older sister's bed after a bad dream, of falling asleep curled into her while she uttered whispered songs to soothe him. And suddenly, achingly, he wants that.
There's no more hesitation. His feet ascend the stairs in soft, rapid succession, carry him right to the private chambers of the Duke and to the side of his twin. Asleep, yes, but surely becoming aware of an additional presence in his private space - if not already.
He crawls atop the bed and curls against his brother's back, face pressed hard to the space between his shoulders. He can sense the exact moment his brother wakes fully, acknowledges his presence. Were he anyone else, Wriothesley is sure his twin would not have woken so gently.
"I'm sorry, Wri..." he utters quietly, voice lacking any of its usual strength. "It's..." He doesn't need to explain; his brother will know. "I just... need a minute." He needs to be free of them. "Do... do they haunt you, too?" His twin seems so much more... together than he is. They've never talked about their own experiences in any depth - they didn't need to, they understood without either of them saying anything. Yet he cannot help the question, because he needs to know.
He needs to know if it ever gets better.

closed starter for @mindmxtters
It’s pure simplicity, Alexi supposed, listening to the guy she’s talking to on the phone ramble endlessly about something she finds pretty stupid.
Which is to say that he thought she was her sister.
This wasn’t really surprising, both of them tended to find it hilarious when guys got the two mixed up. Be it strangers on the street, or the Loonatics themselves- she’s looking at Duck, mostly- it never came between them.
No, the stupid part was that this guy claimed the girls confused him on purpose. That it was all their fault they looked alike, slipped in a comment about how rabbits ‘generally all look the same anyway’ which she noted, and looked over at her twin, rolling her eyes as if to ask ‘can you believe this shit?’
She didn’t have to put him on speaker, but she had, mostly so the team could hear this as well. It was almost downright hysterical watching Ace act like he isn’t listening in and just meditating, but she can see the hare’s leg bouncing as his ire rises.

@elfkiins is a little bitch
“ im ... melting ... “ ris is on the ground fully, one hand poised on her forehead and the other reaching dramatically towards her twin. “ surely it is the work of the phoenix fire gauntlet ... you must ... stop the evil doer. avenge me. “ and then she’s fully limp, her tongue poking out and eyes squeezed shut.

❛ I SPENT NEARLY TWO MONTHS earning half of this. ❜ slender fingers hold up a rolled - up wad of cash before sliding it across the table, stopping just a few inches from where her sister sat. ❛ your duct taped board does look a little cool and badass, but it won’t be once it splits in half. time to for a new one, sis. ❜ meg smirks smugly. one sibling may have hindered her skateboarding, but luckily there was another to keep it going.

Info dump on possible twinverse if any other All Mights wanna write it with me?
Name: 八木 俊中 ( Yagi Toshinaka )
Born quirkless like his twin was. Him and his brother have very similar views on pretty much everything, and Toshinaka lets his brother take the initiative on most things, preferring to sit back and watch or support instead. He’s seen as the quieter, less rowdy brother, but that’s not quite true-- if you get him directly involved, he’ll throw just as big of a fuss.
Also wants to be a hero. These boys pushed each other towards their impossible ambitions all their lives until Toshinori received One for All
Toshinaka couldn’t get into a hero course while still quirkless. It was a hard rule back then, before they’d repealed it. He went to general studies as his brother made a name for himself
Toshinaka continued on to college for a bachelor’s in philosophy and then law school. He was very supportive of Toshinori throughout everything as All Might became a phenomenon, but he couldn’t say he wasn’t jealous either
After that Toshinaka spent nearly a decade working at a hero agency, fighting the laws that inhibited his dreams while working towards a license, step by step, the long way around. He kept his family connections to Toshinori under wraps, which wasn’t hard to do as Toshinori had been distancing himself from the family anyways
Eventually, he was the first quirkless person to gain a license. Hero name pending.
His role is more analytical and supportive than straight fighting. But he’s still a 7′2″ monster and been training his whole life to be a hero so he’s not someone you’d like to fight either. Undecided just what yet but he does have a weapon
If Toshinori offered him One for All after his big fight with All for One, Toshinaka would turn it down. Just as All Might was a symbol for all and felt it important that the world thought he was a natural-born hero, Toshinaka felt it important to remain doing his work quirkless, as an inspiration to those without quirks or with weak quirks

@fuckthcpolice liked for a teenverse starter ;; accepting
“ you want to be a bard ? “ their eyes flit over to mat incredulously, voice just a bit louder than it should be. “ that’s so op for this edition. not to mention, doesn’t fit your character archetype at all ! “ a beat; “ at least it’s not a dwarf. do you need anymore help with your character sheet ? “
