god i want. an au where it dosn't work. where it's just arr g'raha who's woken up, and he doesn't have all these memories and all these people keep looking at him like they're mourning someone. the world has changed and time has changed and all the people he knows have changed, but he hasn't changed, he was just sleeping, just sleeping, and the world nearly ended several times and apparently he helped prevent yet another end but he has no memory of this. they want him to join the scions. he does not know these people. (he barely knows the warrior of light, now, but did he ever truly know them in the first place?) his little sister is alive and well. she looks at him like a ghost. she's changed, and she's older than him now. he acts bratty and loud and brash to cover up the fact that he does not know anything it seems, and he is tired but he was sleeping for so long, so how could he be tired?
he doesn't know these people. they seem to know him. he wonders if he'd killed someone, when it was him and not that exarch who woke up. he wonders if it should have been him who was "killed" in that way, if it is him that lives and not that man who had known and become friends with all these figures from legend. he wonders if he'll always be fated to be a historian one step back from everything, because he simply cannot be a hero.

closed starter for @ourcwnside a yearning starter
Tumblr media
"But Crowley-" The angel scarpered beside the demon (he did always walk faster than him owing to the longer limbs on his corporation), trying to get a word in edgewise. "We can both talk to him, it doesn't have to just be yourself. He-he seems rather...well, I think it's best to have two of us there, don't you think?"

WHO: @bryanxlawrence and Tasha
WHERE: The Mirage's speakeasy
WHEN: Almost midnight on December 31, 2023
After running into Bryan while making an ornament, Tasha had been hoping they'd see each other again soon. Especially since she couldn't actually wait for him in the parking lot like she had hoped. Getting dressed up in a cute little dress, her favorite earrings, some bracelets, a necklace, and a pair of cute little heels, she was cute and comfortable enough to dance the night away. As she checked her phone and saw it was close to midnight, she found her way to where everyone had been gathering to ring in the new year. Taking a glass of champagne, she scanned the crowd. Hoping Bryan would be there, she saw him off to the side, and she made her way over there. "I'm sorry I had to run off after the winter market," she said with a soft smile, "you look really handsome by the way." She replied as he really looked a lot more than just handsome to her.

「✧」 "There's a place you might like," Klaus had mentioned yesterday, "where you can get your powers back."
And that was already enough for Aurelius to say yes.
He felt it the moment they soared into the air above the Sky-Strewn Isles, Klaus' hand around his waist and his own arm slung casually around the man's shoulders. A warmth flooding into his body and all his nerves as his breaths grew light. Senses sharpened, power swelled, and by the time they reached the area proper, Aurelius was airborne on his own without much help.
He squeezed Klaus' arm before pushing away, and ended up hovering in the air a few feet away from the other man. The sight of his companion's two-winged form was expected, but a little underwhelming—for some unfathomable reason, Aurelius had been expecting...more. He cleared away the frivolous thought and smiled at Klaus while his eyes began to glow in soft, beautiful hues.
"What a lovely surprise you've gifted me, Klaus."
Tumblr media
"I've been longing to stretch my wings."
Pausing in mid-air, Aurelius stilled...before falling backwards to plummet head-first towards the ground. Seconds later, there was a low boom as four wings appeared on his back, gloriously golden and glittering. Effortlessly, the divinus arced back up until he was hovering above Klaus and reached out a hand.
A golden feather rested between his fingers.
"I don't know if it'll last," Aurelius began. "But please, take this as a token of my gratitude."

Winter Prayer ★₊˚⊹✧˖°. Open
Tumblr media
" I fear deeply for the worlds we live in... " she spoke quietly. Eyes scanning the horizon of snow-covered hills and the village in the distance. Early morning was when she was awake. As she watched the dawn rise over the trees, there was a sadness in her heart.
" I believe we have more power than we think to heal the world. Often I look into someone's eyes and see a whole unique life and experience... it's beautiful. " Her skirts tussled lightly in the winter wind, causing her to shiver ever so slightly. She pulled her coat tighter around her shoulders.
" They live in their world, and I pass by in mine. I could choose to grow their wounds, as much as I could choose to heal them. " She knelt in the snow, her trembling hands clasped together tightly ( the cold was intense for her, but she would choose her duty above all else ). Her wet skirts clung to her knees, the snow and mud absorbing through the cloth adding to her coldness still.
And yet as she spoke in the tongue of the forest, a prayer to those who were ill, to those in need, and those lost in a darkness without hope of escape, she endured all the same. Her voice was quiet, it was almost a song. And the longer she went on the more numb her body became ( was it just the doing of the winter wind? )
After a quiet pause, she spoke again. "If I only ever see someone's world once, I hope they have a good memory of mine. " There were many worlds she never remembered at all. What a fear it was to be forgotten by time as nothing at all.

LOCATION: Heavy Hitters Bar WITH: @ozanxbulut
"I need you to keep me from doing something I'll regret." Jace slurred his words slightly as he tossed his phone onto the bar for his friend to keep. He hadn't explained anything to Ozan over the phone when he'd rang him, all he needed to say was that he wasn't good and he knew Ozan would come. Jace knew it was his friends who would keep him from drowning.
"Do you think she's gone on her date yet with that prissy little prick?" he angrily spat out his words, his hands already reaching for his glass of whiskey like it was his lifeline. He knew he didn't need to explain, Ozan had been there himself, he'd watched it all unravel within Jace.

Who: JD and @chvndlr
Where: Some bar on Bourbon Street
Ever since the winter market, JD had been trying to get Chandler to hang out again. What he didn't know was why it wasn't happening. But now that they were all in New Orleans, they set up a night to hang out. Ordering a round of shots, JD opened up a tab at the bar, sliding one of the shot glasses towards Chandler before taking one for himself. "Ready for some fun?" He said wiggling his eyebrows and raising the glass to Chandler before downing the liquid in one swift gulp. When JD and Chandler got together to party, things would get crazy real fast.

@scatcrccio gets a call from Shauna the day after Halloween
Yes, maybe Shauna was still rattled from seeing her daughter in Jackie's uniform last night. But no matter how pleasant their resulting conversation had actually been, it didn't change the fact that Callie had been getting high on ecstasy on Halloween at a dance club. And yes, Shauna had also been out at that club with Adam, but that was way beside the point.
After giving her daughter an earnest talk about the consequences of trying to blackmail her about the... cheating, Shauna resolved to do the responsible, motherly thing. Which, in her messed up life, meant calling one of the least responsible, but frankly quite consistent people she knew for intel. Preventative measures, she told herself.
"C'mon... pick up..." Shauna stood at the kitchen sink, looking out into the sunshine beyond the window to see if there were any pests in the garden. Then the line clicked. She perked up, if only in a sort of formal manner -- Nat Scatorccio wasn't exactly a girl-talk kind of friend.
"Hey, Natalie... Hope I'm not disturbing anything. Good Halloween?" A nervous laugh, and the smallest of small talk before launching into her ulterior motive. "I have a question that I think someone of your... local networking abilities would have an answer for."

It wasn't unheard of for Chloe to get a little caught up in the moment, in fact it was pretty on brand for her to do so. What was more unheard of was for a good looking man to kiss her after a long night of flirting and then disappear like he'd seen a ghost. She'd tried not to think too much about it but her feelings were a little hurt. "New DA is in his office today Miss Austin, thought you might want to go and introduce yourself." An intern told her as they handed her a coffee on her way in the door at work. "Great, can't wait to meet the stuffy old bastard." She rolled her eyes assuming he was going to be just like the last one on his way out when she got hired.
She flipped her dark hair over her shoulder and made her way down the hall, stopping in the doorway of the office next to hers and knocking. The man had his back to her when she appeared. "Hi, Chloe Austin, assistant DA, we'll be working really closely together so I thought I'd introduce my—oh fuck me." She stared at the man as he turned around. Mason. From the bar, who had kissed her and left in a flurry. "Hi." This was fucking awkward. @masonxpaterson

✍︎ @montyrichler
With his spirits rejuvenated by the riveting exercise of representative democracy, Edward walked out of the makeshift voting cabinet with a ballot in his hands and a dream in his heart: to see his homecoming court candidates elected, combining their strengths in a joint effort to make Ogden College great again. And, as he was about to cast his vote – the weight of modern democracy safeguarded by the little padlock that kept the ballot drop-box closed – he spotted Monty coming over to do the same. In the little distance that separated them, Edward could finally see his long, lustrous mane more clearly – something he had only glimpsed at in passing over the last couple of weeks whenever he saw Monty walking around campus – along with the beard he had been growing out, both combining into a sort casual look that really suited him. To Eddie, this was the kind of styling that only people with something he dubbed a "cool guy vibe" could pull off, which was genuinely the kind of guy he saw Monty as. “Hey.” His face lit up with a smile, and his eyebrows raised, head tilting upwards in a greeting as Monty approached. "Thought I was going to see your name on the ballot this year." He chortled, not entirely sure that Monty was the type of guy that put his name down for the homecoming court race, but (inadvertently) assuming he might have done it just so he and Ollie could be crowned together.

ㅤㅤ❝𝓦-where did you come from!?❞ Utaki said in a surprised tone. She was shocked to find herself in the strange new world, having arrived a few minutes prior. As long as they were friendly, she would be glad to have someone else suddenly appear in the said world!

closed for my boo @excelsiorrp
It had only been a couple days in between their first encounter, but Felix was impatient to see Alara again.
He had kept himself busy, there was a 'body' job where he was just there as a threat for some loser kid who owed a dealer friend of his money. It was quite a standard job, him in his balaclava and the other guy was the one with the gun, usually that did the job. He got a small split but enough to make ends meet. Thankfully this time he didn't even really have to make a move, his presence alone was enough. And thankfully he wasn't roughed up, he wouldn't really know how to explain any injuries to her.
They had exchanged numbers and he had told her to just be comfortable and casual. He couldn't really afford the wine and dine (he'd have to save up and do a couple more jobs maybe), but he had something else in mind when he knocked on the door. It swung open and he saw the sweet face he'd been thinking about for the past couple of days.
"Hey baby, how are you?"

"My wife, sir?" If he was stupid in the modern day, he was even worse here. Call it a lapse in his memory: there were so many details of his new life to remember, sometimes he forgot the blatantly obvious. It was easy enough to remember that he worked in a pub, yes, but he'd not actually had a wife in years. And Clara had only been his very fake one for two weeks. The realisation hit him promptly. "Oh!" A quick scramble, then, to try and make himself seem like he wasn't the world's most terrible husband. "You've met her? You're, uh - a regular to the Hare & Hounds, then?"

The holidays were a perfect time for Antony to truly unwind. His police work kept him busy all year round, and for the force in general it only really let up at the end of December when those with families would go off on leave. Until just two years prior, Antony hadn’t been one of those. He’d work the Christmas shifts because he didn’t have a wife or children, but ever since he’d gotten together with Isla that had changed. He had someone to go home to. Such a dynamic would change even further following that Christmas if the small ring box weighing down his pocket was anything to go by. She'd go from his girlfriend to his fiancee in one fell swoop.
As he awaited Isla’s appearance in the arrivals gate of the airport, Antony’s heart raced quicker than it usually would in such a scenario. Adrenaline excitedly pumped through his veins, and a smile kept curling upon his features. He always buzzed with such eager anticipation to see her whenever she returned from a far-flung shoot or job, but that day had an undoubted extra element about it. And still, as Isla finally appeared, Antony grinned and went to embrace her as he always did. “You’re a sight for sore eyes, babe. Merry Christmas...” he said as he reached her, a triumphant laugh following.

"Thanks for coming over to help with this. Your poor old uncle with one leg needs a little support sometimes." Callum joked with River as he climbed the ladder up to the roof of his house. Something he was really serious about was his Christmas decorations and he always needed an extra hand getting the lights put up on the house. Addilyn's favorite holiday was Christmas and since she missed out on so many things in life by not having a mother, Cal was determined to make sure the things she did get, were amazing. "You ever used a staple gun before?" He asked. @riverxjackson

While Adem wasn't entirely sure what Noah was doing across the world or why he had to be gone for so long, something about teaching or training he thought, he knew that even when the man was a world away, he was still the first person Adem ran to when he needed someone to tell him it was gonna be okay. Today was hard. Harder than most days, and the progress he was making in his sobriety were in question in a way he wasn't ready for this early on in the journey. Selim's birthday was never an easy day and this was the third one without him and the first one that Adem was attempting to do sober. He let the phone ring and when he heard Noah's voice on the other end of the line, he immediately broke down, unable to even find the words he was looking for. "Hey uh..." Adem's voice cracked and he tried to swallow the sob in his throat. "Are you busy?" He failed as he felt tears welling up in his eyes. @noahsinclaxr
