How to “fix” Les Miserables
This is a random FF interlude.
I guess it isn’t shocking that I write fan fiction because ever since I was a kid, I’ve been imagining how to fix stories if they make me sad. Now full disclosure, I have only seen the musical and not read Les Miserables, but here is my solution to it.
Set up: A mysterious woman called Story Girl has the ability to teleport into stories and fix them. She can also teleport within story.
Story Girl enters the story the day Fantine gets fired. She reveals to Valjean that his overseer is a major creep and he gets dismissed. Then Story Girl convinces Valjean that the only way to set things right is to marry Fantine.
Fantine goes in her factory outfit and collects Cosette. She offers to take Éponine as well to get a job at the Valjean Factory. The Innkeeper and his wife demand everything that Fantine has, but as they don’t know she is now wealthy it isn’t very much. They let Éponine go too (because do we honestly think they care about her? I don’t).
Javert catches the fake Valjean, but instead of ruining his whole life to be honest, Story Girl just asks real Valjean for some money, jailbreaks Fake Valjean, and transports him to another region of France. He’s safe and has enough money to live on. Valjean is safe forever, and Javert can go crazy over how Fake Valjean vanished into thin air. Win/Win/Win
Valjean, Fantine, Cosette, and Éponine are all one happy family running a factory. Valjean no longer lives in fear of discovery and keeps donating his money to the poor and doing other great stuff. Fantine gets to live and have her reputation restored. Cosette and Éponine become real sisters and have awesome lives. Maybe one of them even runs into Marius, who knows. Valjean and Fantine have babies, maybe, his sexuality isn’t clear, so it’s up to him.
(I usually try to preserve the love stories, but honestly Cosette and Marius don’t even talk before they are all “in love” so I feel no compunction to preserve them. If they really have TRUE LOVE they’ll bump into each other somewhere).
FINIS! Les Heureux

How does the great Sandpiper successfully smuggle 130 children out of the Nilfgaard-occupied territory of Hamm? With the power of a forgotten story, a traditional song, and a masterful lie.
A piece for my upcoming fic, The Piper of Hamm, based on The Pied Piper of Hamelin, next in my fairy tale series.

Tumblr media
Tick, tick, tick. 
In the darkness of your bedroom, you listened to the quiet sound of Jake’s pocket watch and tried to settle your breathing to the rhythm of it. Usually the sound was soothing, a reminder of the way Jake had filled up the quiet parts of your life and your home with a heartbeat of dependability and comfort. You tried to remind yourself of that now as you listened to the soft coppery music of it, but even its steadiness didn't help quiet the knot of sadness and anxiety in your chest.
You didn't know why you felt like this. Sometimes it just crept up on you, a tangle of feelings that had no explanation or obvious cure. They’d come less frequently with Jake, but nothing could stop them completely; you just had to ride it out, hanging on to what you knew was true, letting it wash over you until it was through.
You turned towards Jake, saw the soft curve of his bare shoulder in the moonlight filtering though the curtains. You didn’t want to wake him; you knew he was tired from a long day at the studio, and he needed his rest. You moved close to him, pressing against his back, wrapping an arm around his waist as you tried to get warm against him.
He moved his hand to rest over yours, holding you securely against him. Even in sleep, he was attuned to you; you felt a sob catch in your chest and rested your head against his back.
“Sparrow.” His voice was gravelly with sleep, soft and soothing. He drew your hand up to rest near his heart.
“Sorry,” you said softly, even as you felt the sting of tears. “I didn’t mean to wake you up.”
He turned his head towards you a little. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” you lied. “Go back to sleep, honey.”
“Are you sick?” he asked. “Bad dream?”
You shook your head. “Just...” You felt so guilty for waking him, for not even having an explanation when you did. 
“I don’t know,” you said brokenly. “I don’t know what’s wrong.”
He turned to face you then, pulling you close, tangling his legs with yours under the blanket.
“You’re crying,” he said, brushing tears from your face. “Are you sad?”
“I guess,” you said, your voice barely above a whisper. “I don’t feel good, Jake.”
He hummed and brushed your hair back from your face. “In your body? Or in your heart?”
You couldn’t help a wobbly little smile, endeared to the simplicity of his questions while he was still half-asleep.
“In my heart,” you said. “I can’t sleep. I’m sorry I woke you.”
He didn't say anything for a few moments, and you’d thought he’d gone back to sleep. You didn’t hold it against him; you knew he was tired, and you knew this didn’t constitute a real crisis that he needed to be awake for. 
Then, with a sleepy sigh, he pulled you close and hugged you tight.
“I think you need a hug, sparrow,” he said softly.
“Yeah,” you agreed, moving close to him.
You were a little surprised when he pulled away then, and you were confused when he sat up and started to pull up the hem of your sleep shirt.
“It’s like that kangaroo thing,” he said. “We should try that.”
Bemused, you let him ease your shirt off until both of you were in nothing but your underwear.
“What kangaroo thing?” you asked, wondering if he was maybe still asleep.
He lay back next to you and drew you as close as he could, your bare chest against his. His skin was warm and soft, and just the contact made you feel better.
“You know how they do for babies right after they’re born,” he said, running his hand up and down your back. “I think it’s called kangaroo care. Skin-to-skin contact.”
You gave a soft laugh, finally understanding. “Oh. Yeah, I guess you're right.”
“I’m always right,” he said. He kissed your face. “Is it helping?”
You nodded. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, sweetheart.”
You lay like that for a while, chest to chest, listening to the rhythm of each other’s breathing in the quiet of your bedroom. It was intimate, tender, patient; as he knew it would be, it was exactly what you needed. Gentle touches started to wander, and you eventually felt him warm to your touch.
“Jake,” you said mildly.
“Yeah, I know,” he said with a slight grimace. “Sorry. Ignore it.”
You smiled. “What if I don’t want to ignore it?”
You drew your leg over his thigh and heard his sharp intake of breath.
“We don’t have to,” he said, and you knew he meant it. “I wasn’t trying to get frisky when I started this. I just wanted to help.”
“It is helping,” you said softly, pressing your mouth to his in a gentle kiss. It wasn’t what you’d planned either, and you knew his intentions had been innocent, but you couldn’t think of anything you wanted more than to be as close to him as you could.
His hands moved lower on your back, trailing between your legs, slow and patient. 
“We can stop any time you want,” he reminded you. “Really, sparrow.”
You kissed him again. “I know. I don’t want you to stop.”
You enjoyed long moments of his touch, warming to your desire, comforted and soothed by the tenderness with which he traced you like a beloved thing. When both of you were completely bare and vulnerable to the other, he moved to hover over you, cradling you close with one hand on the small of your back, tucking you into the protective lee of his body.
“Go slow,” you said.
“Of course, my love.”
He eased into you slowly, patiently, never thinking of himself as he filled you and held you close. You breathed a sigh of relief as he settled, awash in the comfort and familiarity of the feeling of him inside and out.
“Thank you,” you said. You held him close. “I needed this. I needed you.”
He kissed you. “My sweet sparrow. You always have me, you know that.”
He kept you there for a while, waiting patiently for you, telling you how much he loved you, his voice a lullaby. 
“Beautiful,” he said softly, peppering your face with gentle kisses. “You’re so beautiful. I love you, Sparrow.”
“I love you,” you said. You started to move against him, and you loved the way his breath caught.
It was slow and soft and gentle, pleasure cresting with all the tenderness of a wave against a shore. You felt tears come again, your chest tight with love for him, and he brushed them away with a soft touch.
“Don’t cry, sparrow,” he said, his voice soft with compassion. “Are you alright?”
You kissed him, trying to tell him in more than words how much you loved him, how thankful you were for him.
“I’m perfect,” you said. “Thank you for loving me like you do.”
He sighed, relieved and tender for you, kissing you with every gentleness, and his touch eased every bit of the tangle in your chest until all you felt was warmth and safety.
“I love you, Jake,” you said softly.
He kissed you again.
“I love you too, sparrow. More than I could ever tell you.”

Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen
A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death
#hellsing#alucard#kouta hirano#translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent#fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online#i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443'#but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands#the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake#anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool#if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first#and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf#i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia#then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point#but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page#and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. ....#i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh#the hellsing brainrot runs deep#also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491#except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo#the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002#which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out??#i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch#sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less#it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was#maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'

Previous // Next
Kaito Yoshida skips breakfast almost every day, opting instead for a swim in the Wakaba River to wake him up. It’s cool and quiet as the sun rises; a peaceful alternative to a poorly made cup of coffee.
After an early lunch, Kaito takes some time to dabble in the stock market. A job though he has, it’s mundane and pays little, meant more to keep him occupied than anything else; no, this is how he earns his living. Money makes money after all.
The lunchtime rush at Ai Mizu is predictably hectic, particularly in summer. Famous for its fresh sushi, the tiny restaurant regularly attracts tourists and locals alike, having done so for over fifty years.
He and his co-workers are cordial with one another, but Kaito has no interest in making friends. A precise and introverted woman, the head chef of Ai Mizu apparently appreciates this demeanour; even going so far as to share her personal unagi sauce recipe with him on the sly.
Although it bores him, he often tries to meditate, a favourite spot of his being beside the old canal near Ai Mizu. The local felines, of which there are too many if you ask him, usually have other ideas though, proving themselves to be rather distracting.
He’s convinced some of them are actively trying to kill him, conveniently placing themselves between his legs as he walks, or surreptitiously hopping out of nowhere right before a set of stairs. None have been successful in his demise as of yet, and Kaito has learned he ought to watch his step whilst in town.
Though Kaito’s face was as recognisable as any other resident in Wakaba’s town centre by now, people were still intrigued by the local who spoke Komorebian with ease, despite being foreign-.. judging by his accent rather than his features at least. Never impolite enough to ask questions however, Kaito was left in peace, which suited him more than they’d ever know.
Loneliness was not a foreign concept to Kaito, who had lived with its familiar dull ache throughout most of his life. Try as he might, his attempts at filling that void had never been particularly fruitful; that was, until he found adrenaline. A band aid of sorts, but fulfilling nonetheless.
Kaito escaped to the slopes whenever he could, becoming rather fond of snowboarding especially; not that it was so easy in the beginning, mind you. But, practice makes perfect and over time, Kaito found himself quite at home with the cool wind in his face and the fresh, powdery snow gliding beneath his board.
Rock-climbing however, wasn’t quite so easy to master. Kaito still found himself struggling with various rockfaces now and then. And though he took his late father’s advice with a grain of salt these days, he held steadfast to one piece in particular. Persistence was paramount.
Never one to think of himself as tenacious or prosperous, he was almost proud of how far he’d come; prouder still of the fact that he no longer felt the need to wave his moderate success in the face of those who cared so little for him in the past. He was alone there as he is here. A solitary existence perhaps, but for the first time in his life, Wyatt felt as though he belonged somewhere. He was finally home.

Freddy Krueger x FinalGirl!Reader || Drabble
Tumblr media
Plot: You think its your boyfriend. Well, he's dead and it's not.
Warnings: Non-con kissing.
Tagging: @ghouletka , @gr4veyardg1rlv , @kawaistrawberry21 , @lady-love88 , @masqueradeball , @miss-understood , @slxsherwriter , @spookiifi , and @thecourtofgraywaves .
When your eyes fall on him, his soft brown eyes and his crumpled band t-shirt waiting for you just outside of class, you feel happiness bubble up in you and a beam spread across your face.
"'M here to pick you up sweetheart- you ready to go?"
Before he can even get his keys out of his camo pants you've thrown your arms around him, burying your face in his shoulder. "I missed you!"
"Bunny- I appreciate the warm welcome but I dropped you off this morning! You okay??" He sounds baffled, and a little amused, but he drops the pursuit for his car keys and rubs your back instead; making you sigh. His hand lands on your hip then, and squeezes, and you press your face more firmly into his shoulder. You missed him so much.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Love you."
"Heh... I love you, too."
After a moment, you pull back and look at him. That ruffled hair, that sharp jaw, those happy eyes. You don't notice the slightly off-kilter way he's standing; his left shoulder dropped ever-so-slightly- or you ignore it.
It feels so real. It's gotta be real. You swear, that it's real.
Gently you lean up and press your lips to his, feeling his kiss for the first time, since-
God it feels so so real. He melts into it, pressing his mouth so softly-firmly against yours that your head goes fuzzy and fizzy. Vaguely, in the back of your mind, under some discarded papers, there's a part of you telling you it can't be, though. That this doesn't taste like him, that he's not wearing his usual cologne. That you're not kissing him right now, it's impossible, because he's-
But you don't listen. It's totally real, you think, tilting your head and wrapping your arms more snuggly around his neck. It's real, it's real, it's real, you chant in your head.
You missed him so much, you can feel it in your bones. The relief at having him here against you again makes you ache and feel better then you have in days, since he went to sleep and he was- since he went to sleep and the next morning, he was found-
Again, your thoughts stop just before they can finish. They fight to get through, but you... You almost don't want to finish them. A part of you knows what's going to happen when you realise, a heartbroken part of you aching dully inside.
Slowly the hand on your hip grows out, the fingers stretching longer and getting sharper. You hear it like a sword coming unsheathed and you feel blades sliding against your hip.
But you keep kissing him; theirs a desperation, now. A need to hold on, to keep him. Him; Your highschool boyfriend. The one you survived elm street with that first time in your senior year. Who you broke up with in your first year of college because the work load was too hard. Who you found, again, a year later. Who Freddy finally, after 3 years home-safe, kil-
The feeling of the brim of a hat, soft and warn, grazing your forehead.
Right now this is him. This is your. him. You don't wanna let go, you know something's wrong here, so so wrong, but you're so heartbroken and so hurt you cant let go-
You don't want him to go, again- you just got him back!-
Polyester turns to wool under your touch as he suddenly deepens the kiss, forcing your lips open wider. His tongue grows out longer down your throat, and-
You choke, the spell broken and reality crashing down around you as you realise the wolf in sheep clothing that you're kissing. Eyes opening, you use one forearm to shove Freddy off of you- and he's smirking and leering like a goblin at you as you trip back onto your ass; covering your mouth. Tears grow in your eyes from choking on his horrible tongue and also remembering that your boyfriend is dead.
He's dead. And Freddy's back again. And you're in a nightmare that never ever fucking ends.
"What's the matter there, princess, you wanted me pretty bad a second ago~ "
"You evil, evil freak." Tears overflow, filling up your furious eyes and then bubbling over onto your scowling cheeks; holding yourself up with the heel of one hand digging into the boiler room floor behind you. The other still covers your warm, tingling lips.
With a too-pleased grin, Freddy takes off his hat and does a deep bow in front of you, holding his hat to his chest like some kind of gentleman magician. "... oh you're too kind~ "
