Micro story 12. candles
12. candles
‘Don’t think it’s escaped my notice—You haven’t slept a wink since we got here! It won’t do to let the Warrior of Light run on fumes, so off to bed you go!’
Those had been Tataru’s exact words, and she’d spoken them without a second thought; Ancel was always one to work himself to exhaustion, and she was quick to note how wound up he seemed to be since arriving in Ishgard.
For a mercy, he was compliant—albeit reluctantly so—and had retired to his prepared chambers in Fortemps Manor a couple of hours prior. The moon had long since risen by the time Tataru decided to do the same, and she had begun traversing the dark, ornate hall with a dim candle to light her way.
She would have most certainly proceeded as planned—but thuds and clatters and biting curses rousing from behind Ancel’s door were, however, causes for concern.
She tried his name—the one he seemed to prefer.
“Hawk…?”
There was no sound, and no answer. Had he even heard her?
With trepidation, Tataru tried the door, opening it slowly and just enough to accommodate her small stature. Leading with the candle, she stepped inside and tried to locate her associate.
“Who goes there,” came Ancel’s roughened voice; the words were spoken with breathless haste, and more like an accusation than an inquiry.
Sure enough, there he was—kneeling on the floor by his bed, surrounded by scattered belongings, hunched and bedraggled like some kind of creature. This was a man she had never actually seen under the cover of the goggles and masks he so insisted on wearing all the time, and she was beginning to understand why that might have been. His pupils were slit like a snake’s, and the faint gleam of fangs flashed underneath his panting lips.
Abnormal, almost monstrous—but if his terror-filled eyes had failed to indicate any sign of turmoil, the glint of tear tracks on his cheeks revealed by the candle’s flame certainly hadn’t.
“Y-you—There was a noise, and…” Tataru swallowed thickly, trying to control the discomfiture in her voice. “Are you alright?”
The Elezen sucked in a breath and turned his face away, as though he knew how he must have looked. He smoothed the urgency from his features, subtly reached up to wipe the corners of his eyes, and brought his knees up to his chest. He strangled most of the vulnerability from his voice when he spoke next.
“I feel ill.”
“O-okay,” she puffed and nodded. “Okay. Okay…” Dashing some of the remaining worry from her face, she offered a warm smile. “Well, then? Tell me what you need. I’ll fetch it for you.”
“Nothing. I just—“ He cleared his throat. “I needed… The candle went out. I was trying to relight it. That’s all.”
Tataru looked toward the object in question, unlit atop his bedside table—and in that instant, she was able to piece the situation together.
Ancel was afraid of the dark.
… Maybe. Potentially.
“Well, a suggestion, if I may.” Tataru approached the unlit candle and lifted her own to it, pulling away once the wick caught the flame. She turned to face Ancel then.
“If… You’re having trouble sleeping,” she ventured, “why don’t I keep you company? I can rest right over there.” She gestured to a sizeable armchair sitting in the corner of the room. “How does that sound?"
Ancel looked at her as though she’d suggested freefalling off of Witchdrop—and yet, after a moment of silence, he averted his eyes sheepishly.
“That... would not be unpleasant.”
thank you so much for the prompt @ffxivtribehydrae!! I initially wrote this from Ancel’s perspective (and I could still post that), but Tataru’s was better for what I wanted to accomplish ;w; plus I just wanted somethin a little nicer than like 5 paragraphs of a grown man losin his damn mind (again) <3
I wanted to keep writing this one hgkldh this would’ve been during HW where Ancel and Tataru actually like... start becoming good friends lmao

Let it Snow❄️☃️
Keegan x fem!reader
Quick snapshot, cute moment becomes hot n heavy as he hold you close to him not letting you go
Also we just need more Keegan 😌💕
Tw: oral, PRAISE slight DEgradation, spontaneous, car sex/public
~❄️❄️❄️~
It’s snowing! It’s snowing! You rush out side in barely enough to cover you, your too excited to worry about the cold. Running out you smile widely and laugh giving out loud “wooo!s” he’s out there with you crouching over.
You smack his ass laughing evilly at him exclaiming “hey what the hell!” He turns around swiftly throwing the snowball right at you. You can’t stop laughing and throwing the snowballs.
Exhausted and somehow sweating you stand in the middle of the snow covered road tongue stuck out trying to catch the snow flakes. Coming up to you he lightly takes hold of your jaw and sticks his tongue out licking yours. “Eww!” You shove him off, but he just takes you and holds you closer.
“Oooh now you think I’m disgusting?” Keegan’s voice is playful teasing as he wraps you up in his jacket. Looking up definitely, “oh yes very,” you smile broadly.
“Would it be disgusting if I just,” he leans in tongue stuck out. You try to lean back hands pushing on his chest,
“I might just liiii-“
“Ewww! Stop it!” You squeal happily. Keegan licks your face then as you squirm. Then as he did so you take his face with your cold hands and kiss him. Kissing him so deeply that you steal his warmth. His tongue in your mouth tasting the hot chocolate. Inside his coat it’s warm, hot growing intense. Bodies flushed together, holding each other so that you don’t slip on the ice. He sways you both causing you to lose footing, landing right into the freshly fallen snow.
He lifts you up onto him, taking your mouth. Clouds of hot breaths puff around you. As frozen hands go under layers messaging and touching the heated skin of each other.
Breaking apart he looks at your lips, heavy lidded, “disgusting huh?” teasing he runs his thumb over your bottom lip.
“Mmhm very,” your lips brush against his as you smile eyes gleaming as you gaze into his.
“Show me just how disgusting you can be?” Keegan says darkly. His hands cupped your ass.
“Yeah?” You smirk eyes looking beautifully at him, he almost forgets how to breathe. You start to kiss your way to his neck. As your hands sneak between his bottom layers, finding his cock squeezing it and you run your finger over its tip.
“I’m cold,” he hisses holding you tighter.
“Then let me warm you up,” your stomach swirls with excitement as he lifts you up.
“Where are you taking me!” You squirm again s he hauls you to the back of the car. Laying you inside he, he shuts the door. “Lift your shirt I want to see you,” lifting the shirt he takes one of you hard nipples in his mouth twirling and twisting. Shifting between you giggle as he comes to sit up, with your bottom half off. He’s hard under you, and some truly disgusting thoughts come over you. The car steams as his cock fills you.
“Ride me! Just like that you’re doing so fucking good,” Keegan’s encouraging you, letting you ride him vigorously chasing your high.
“Keegan you feel so big-“ you gasp and you both rock the whole car. Keegan holds you so close crushing your soft body to his.
“Such a good disgusting whore, fucking me like this,” he nips at your bare skin. Panting as you lean back taking him to the hilt.
Outside the moaning is may heard over the howling of the wind. If I’m wrapped in your arms, feeling you deep inside me then I say let it snow let it snow.

LIIII!!!! Chapter 54 was AMAZINGGDJHF!!!😍😩 MC finally taking Joonie’s Knot!!!! To say I have been waiting ages for the scene is an understatement😂 I loved how you wrote it and everyone helping her out was just so funny and cute personally for me🤭. I also loved that they were there for her before, during and after her first time with Joonie😍.
Joonie’s pre rut thoughts are wild and I’m loving it hahah. I kind of can’t wait for either one of the omegas to be pupped up!!😍😍 And the last bit with Hobi is also so sweet, not him blushing when he cares for her🫣🥹. Idk why but I really love MC and Hobi scenes it feels like they understand each others trauma and are there for each other.
Thank you Li for yet another amazing chapter!! I hope you reward yourself with some amazing sweet treats or by doing smth fun!🤍🥰
honestly you and me both! i've wanted to just! get on with it! for so long! now she gets to be a little knot slut! like she was always meant to be! god why is it really hot to imagine her bounding up to namjoon right after he's come home with puppy eyes smelling sweet and he just knows what she wants and is like instantly hard over it 😭
maybe jinnies been looking after her and made her wait for namjoon and decided not to fuck her, maybe he even kept edging her or made her warm his cock just to keep her needy and on edge for when he got home, why do i love the idea of namjoon awaking a whole new kind of sexual stamina in her. it would be even better if she was shy about it asking him constantly "it's okay if i need you all the time 🥺 i'm not being too needy right?" and namjoon's all like "of course not pup, i'm your alpha, take what you need from me."
ahhhhh why wasn't i this interested in this when i was like actually writing the chapter!

could u maybe write how Sun and Moon would handle a best friend with depression having a bad ‘can’t get out of bed’ type of day? I know this is a bit heavy so it’s ok if u don’t wanna write it ❤️
No you're good! I've had a fair few of those days myself, no fun whatsoever, so it's nice to have a little hurt/comfort to write and read later. Also I'm so, so sorry this took so long Nonnie, as an apology I poured in all the cute I had in the writing kitchen
TW: Implied depression, err platonic cuddling? Technically no romance (although I'm gonna come clean and admit I originally missed the "best friend" bit sgshjs so sorry again Nonnie) it's supposed to be platonic, but you could read it as romance if ya fancy. Annnnd I think that's it!
Hey Moony :) For the most part, everything's going swell! Only… a couple of things going on. Javier had to go home early, he had a liiii-ttle bit too much Fizzy Faz and got sick (it's been all cleaned up now though, don't worry.)
The other thing is about our friend. I think they're upset. Can you check on them, Moony? They just kept saying they're fine, but I don't think they are :(
Moon let his gaze linger on the note in his hands a moment longer, a twinge of concern sparking through his wires and tightening his chest.
He folded the note with nimble fingers and tucked it inside the hidden pocket of his pants, before reaching up and pulling the spare blanket he'd come for off the creaky shelving, gaze sweeping across the inventory for something that might help if something was wrong.
A glint of light caught Moon's attention from the floor as he padded sideways, and he stopped to consider it. Well… worth a try. Better than anything else in here.
After plucking the object off the floor, he exited the storage closet with rolled blankets pinned under his arms, silently nudging the disguised door shut behind him with a slippered foot.
Despite the bells, Moon had gotten good at being sneaky, and the children were not alerted to his presence, allowing him to add the new blankets to the nap area without interruption.
He snuck glances over at you from where you sat, surrounded by the little ones and with a large storybook open on your lap. Even with his night vision, he couldn't quite make out your face, but the abnormal lack of enthusiasm in your voice only made his worry grow. There was variation between characters, enough to keep the children enraptured, but it carried a distinct tiredness behind it, and Moon wanted nothing more than to swaddle you up and take you somewhere nice and cozy.
"Mr. Moon?"
A whisper in the dark and a tug at his pant leg caught his attention, and he peered down at the tot that had snuck up on him, starry fabric clutched in her hand.
"Hello, little Kiera. Is everything okay?" Moon crouched and tilted his faceplate, the girl's curious expression bathed in blue light.
Kiera nodded, then gave a toothy smile and pointed at the blanket he'd just set down. "Can I be a shoo-shi roll?"
Moon let out a quiet chuckle and booped her nose affectionately, pleased at the giggle it caused. "Of course you can." In Moon's experience, nothing quite put a smile on a human's face like watching other humans be silly. And fifty giggling human children wrapped up in blankets was certainly a very silly sight. Not to mention adorable.
Kiera laid down on the blanket, cheeks puffed out as a result of trying- and failing- to contain her laughter, and Moon began to roll her up, an amused noise of his own slipping out.
"How's that? Not too tight?" Moon asked once he was finished, and Kiera shook her head quickly.
"It's perfect! I'm a swordfish!"
Moon's frame shook with nigh-silent laughter as he scooped her up under his arm, gently shushing her when she squealed in delight. "You certainly are. Now, shall we go get your brother?"
"Yea! He can be a tuna! And Lisa can be a crab, annnd Victor can be a salmon, and…"
Moon had timed it just right so that you had finished the story upon their arrival, and as he predicted, within seconds of spotting Kiera happily being toted around as a tuna roll, every last child had also wanted to be transformed into sushi.
It didn't take much longer than that to get the children to sleep- Moon could personally attest to how comfortable being rolled up into a blanket was, having tried it himself out of curiosity- and he was able to make his way over to you where you were sat in the beanbag, completely still apart from where your thumb softly stroked the gilded spine of the closed book you looked down upon.
Upon his approach, you blinked, then raised your head slowly. The lingering worry that had been ever-present jumped to a full on buzz of concern when he caught a glimpse of just how tired you looked before you smiled. But it didn't quite reach your eyes, the usual lively gleam gone.
"Hello, Starlight." Moon whispered, slipping his hand into his pocket to pull out the object he'd plucked from the storage closet. "Sunny said you seemed upset. Penny for your thoughts?"
Your attention flickered to the copper coin he held pinched between silicone fingers and thumb, and you huffed in quiet amusement after a moment.
"Ah, you know him. He's always worried." You offered him a small smile, then turned your gaze back to the book. Moon hesitated, then slipped the coin back in his pocket. That wasn't a denial, but you clearly didn't want to talk about it either. Hm.
"M-Moony?" Your eyes widened as Moon flopped down beside you and pulled you into his embrace, his front pressed to yours, faceplate gently nuzzling the top of your head while his arms cradled you close.
"Is this okay?" He murmured, long fingers woven in your hair pausing their slow scratching.
"I- yeah, but, the kids-"
"The little ones are fine, fast asleep. They all had a Moondrop before their nap."
You were silent, but you moved in closer, arms winding around him, and he resumed gently rubbing circles on the back of your head.
A muffled noise caught his attention, and he paused briefly to listen. It came again, slightly more audible this time, and again, now accompanied by your body beginning to tremble and shake in his arms. Oh, Starlight.
"It's okay. Let it out. I've got you." Moon murmured, shifting to let you in more as you squeezed at him.
"I-I'm sorry." Came the choked reply after a minute, and he shook his head above you.
"You've nothing to be sorry for."
"But I- I'm crying all over your ruffles." You whispered, fingers flexing where they clutched at his shoulder, and Moon let out an amused hum.
"Starlight. Do you have any idea how much drool, vomit, and snot the Daycare accumulates on a daily basis?"
"Gross." He felt your brow furrow against his shoulder, but heard the short giggle you let out.
"Mmhmm. Tears are sanitary, at least. And-" His voice softened. "I meant it when I said there's no need to be sorry. But, you know you don't have to be so strong all the time. It's okay to not be okay."
"...I know." Your voice was quiet, cracking again. "I just- I didn't want to burden you two with my problems. You already have so much to deal with."
If Moon had a heart, it would certainly have shattered. Even on your bad days, you still held such care for others. Even others like him and Sun, literal machines designed to handle fifty children and all their problems. Of course, they were more than machines, and they did get stressed, thank you very much Corporate, but-
"Starlight, we adore you, you're our best friend. As far as we're concerned, your problems are our problems. You can always come and talk to us, about anything. You are not a burden." Moon moved his hand to rub your trembling back as he spoke, music box clicking to life within him.
For awhile, the two of you lay together without speaking, only the soothing chimes of the music box, Moon's machinery, and the sound of your breathing as it deepened and slowed filled the air, and the lunar animatronic became vaguely aware of slipping into a restful trance of his own.
But the disappointing, telltale clicks and whirs of the generators powering up soon roused him, and he focused blearily on his internal clock. Thirty minutes already?
"Starlight?" He began as the two of you slowly untangled yourselves. You looked up at him- definitely still tired, but the mood scan indicated you were content, at least. "Would you like to stay over tonight, for a sleepover in our room?"
"Oh." You looked surprised for a moment, then smiled, looking a bit like yourself again. "Yeah, I'd love to. Are you… sure it's okay?"
"Yes. I apologize that we didn't allow you to visit sooner, we just had to ensure it was clean… and there would be no issues for you to navigate up there." The distinct, loud whirs of the dial around his and Sun's room balcony reminded him to hurry, and he helped you to your feet. "I'll send you the route via your Fazwatch. And, Stardust?"
"Mm?"
"I'm glad you're here."
~~~~~
Sun perked up as he picked up on the sound of footsteps outside the secret entrance to his and Moon's room. Well, perked up more than he already was- he'd been bouncing around excitedly ever since he'd read Moon's note.
He leapt off the edge of the bed and swung the door open, and you only got a split second to look surprised before he was picking you up, giggling and nuzzling against you as he carried you in.
"Hello to you too!" You laughed, and Sun twirled you around, letting out a boisterous laugh of his own.
"Dewdrop! Oh, I'm so happy to see you!" His rays fluttered and pulsed as he finally set you down on the bed, dropping to a crouch next to you and digging through a bag pre-placed at the foot of the bed. "Moony told me you weren't feeling well after all, so I got out my best sleepover supplies! I, ah, had to borrow some from the lost and found, but I'll return them tomorrow."
He pulled out a stack of dvds, placing them next to you and giving them a little pat, then turned back to the bag and pulled out some hot cocoa packets, a rolled up electric blanket- "no heating when the lights go out, but this should keep you warm until they come back on!" -and roughly thirty popcorn bags.
You slid off the bed and kneeled next to him, wrapping your arms as best you could around the large animatronic and burying your head in his chest, prompting him to let out a soft 'oh' and hug you back. "Thank you, Sunny."
"Of course." He whispered, squeezing you tight. "Can't have my Sunshine upset, hm? I'm prescribing allllll the cuddles."
"That sounds lovely." Sun heard you murmur, and he took that as his cue, easily scooping you up and carrying you onto to the bed.
"Then cuddles you shall have!" He declared, playfully growling as he wrapped his arms around you and rolled onto to the bed. It warmed every last part of him to hear you shriek with laughter, swatting at him and making him giggle too. You really were precious to him and Moon.
And he wanted you to know that, too, so even throughout the movie, and the second, and the third, even after you had fallen into what seemed to be a very peaceful, deep sleep halfway through, Sun made sure to hold you close under the warm blankets, periodically whispering quiet assurances and letting the sound of your heartbeat lull him to a rare rest.

"Starlight" (from "Stargazer")
(SPOILERS AHEAD!! I didn't finish these songs in chronological order, so I warned you. If you have any questions about the context, message me privately so I don't have more spoilers in the comments. The least spoiler-y way of setting the context for this would be explaining that our star is falling for our protagonist, who I've named Talia, but he's--or they're--concerned that she only likes him for the power he can give her.)
Yeah, yeah, I know, it's a weird title for a Disney film, but it sounded beautiful and I think it captured the idea I was going for. And before ANYONE asks: I know "Anastasia" (the movie whose picture I'm using) isn't Disney; it's 20th Century Fox. However, I think for this musical sequence, it'd be GORGEOUS to have Anselm (my Star) use his magic to subconsciously summon magical royal couples during his song. They'd have original designs, but their color schemes would hark back to iconic Disney couples, but some of them with alterations, ie hero-villain couples (Gaston and Belle, for example), or a human couple with fox masquerade masks, inspired by Disney's anthropomorphic take on "Robin Hood." This also serves as inspiration for a part of the plot that comes after. I imagined this as a nice little pop/alt-pop song, with a mini mood-board for it below the lyrics. I never really decided if I wanted something slow to match the bittersweet tone, or something sad that makes you wanna get on the dancefloor.
Color guide:
Purple-Star
Blue-illusions/images
(Note: I haven't decided if there are certain moments where Star and the illusions sing together. I love strong harmonies like that.)
(Verse 1)
Ready, steady,
When do I say "go"?
Who do I give control?
Who sees into my soul?
Every, body,
Always has a wish?
Who put you up to this?
Should I regret that kiss?
(Prechorus)
(BUT!)
I can't fix the storm from inside
I'm lost in the eye
Soon I'll return to the sky.
(WAIT.)
When the sun's sure to rise
I change my disguise
To the shape that you liiii...
(Chorus)
Starlight, illuminate my night
Help me understand
Why I can't ignore this despite
All my reservations
Ignore the temptation
How can I love someone
When I'm supposed to be no one?
Starlight, tell me something tonight
Heart and mind in conflict,
Is this wrong? Is this right?
Is she on a mission
To make my own decisions?
Is she really different?
Or do my powers pique her interest?
(Verse 2)
Keep it simple.
Don't make me prolong your pain
Hearts broken in twain
Please don't ask it of me again!
I'm so sorry.
I won't give your heart's desire
Even if it stokes your ire
Granting it is fuel upon a fire!
(Prechorus)
(BUT!)
If I ignored my senses for you,
What would that lead to?
Do you care? I do.
(WAIT)
Can we ever reach a deal?
I'll miss the way it feels
To have a relationship so real!
(Chorus)
Starlight, illuminate my night
Help me understand
Why I can't ignore this despite
All my reservations
Ignore the temptation
How can I love someone
When I'm supposed to be no one?
Starlight, tell me something tonight
Heart and mind in conflict,
Is this wrong? Is this right?
Is she on a mission
To make my own decisions?
Is she really different?
Or do my powers pique her interest?
(Bridge)
You kissed me.
Do I kiss you back?
You used me?
How much do you lack?
I would give a lot
For this connection
The truth hurts too much
I want the deception.
But for all my reasons,
I can't be selfish
I'd break my own heart
To protect that wish.
(Chorus)
Starlight, illuminate my night
Help me understand
Why I can't ignore this despite
All my reservations
Ignore the temptation
How can I love someone
When I'm supposed to be no one?
Starlight, tell me something tonight
What if this wish isn't that harmful?
Is that why it shines bright?
Can I close this distance
With all of my persistence?
I would hate myself,
But at least I'd have somebody else.
Hope you enjoyed it! I'm really torn about this song, since it kinda showcases a big issue I'm having with writing the relationship between our star and our protagonist. I'm working so the relationship doesn't feel too strong, too one-sided and more romantic and cute. Maybe I'll fix this later!

2|The Other Side of Nothing
“Alright, everything’s fine. Everything’s just fine. We totally didn’t get swallowed up by some all-consuming bubble just now! Nothing terrible or crazy has happened, and everything is just. Fine. Just…”
Lisa’s quiet muttering jolted Zoey from her daze. She blinked, looking down at her hands.
No blood.
That was the weirdest daydream ever. Like, ever ever.
“Lisa?” Zoey hopped off her stool, kneeling down beside her babysitter. “Is something wrong?”
“I don’t know!” Lisa blurted, running a hand through her hair. “Like, one second, we were in the stairwell, and then the next, boom. We’re in the garage again—where’s Caleb?”
She shot up, glancing for a moment down at Zoey’s hands before turning her attention to the garage door. “You stay here. I’m gonna check on the boys.”
“O…kay?” Zoey watched Lisa leave.
That was also very weird.
Actually, if Lisa remembered all that too, then did that mean that it actually happened?
Zoey climbed back onto her stool, idly kicking her legs in the air and watching them fall back down. They were in the garage not too long ago. She could remember that. And her hand was bleeding, too; Lisa yanked her away and she scraped herself on the edge of something when that happened.
Oh. Right. The weird bubble thingy.
Wait.
The weird bubble thingy.
“Lisa!” Zoey hopped off her seat again, rushing for the garage door. She had to tell Lisa before it was too late!
“Liiii-saaa!” she called again, dragging out the name. “Lisa! Are you okay?”
She threw the garage door open.
It was silent. No hum, no roar, no weird shaking in the floor.
She could hear Caleb talking to his other friends in the basement.
The sound of footsteps caught her attention. She slowly turned her head, bracing for the worst. Was the bubble gonna be there again? Would Lisa be trapped halfway in like she was not too long ago?
Nope.
“I don’t get it,” Lisa continued climbing the stairs. “I swear that the house was caving in. There was this big—”
“—Bubble,” Zoey cut in. “Big bubble of shadowy stuff, and it ate me up like a shadow monster.”
Lisa nodded. “Right. A big shadow monster bubble. You remember everything too, don’t you?”
“Mm-hm.”
“But then, Caleb doesn’t seem to remember anything, and neither do his friends. They looked at me like I was crazy when I told them how relieved I was to see them alive. And then…” She paused, her brows furrowing as she struggled to come up with the words. “…then… bubble… what…”
Lisa shook her head. “No, no. This is all wrong.”
“What’s wrong?” Zoey hopped off her stool, kneeling down beside her babysitter. “Is something wrong?”
“I don’t know!” Lisa blurted, running a hand through her hair. She froze, blinking as she slowly lowered her hand. “We… we’ve been here before. Zoey, weren’t we—”
Zoey winced. A red gash formed across the back of her hand, already beginning to swell and bleed. Where’d that come from? She cringed through the pain, looking around for the source of the gash. A heavy weight suddenly caught her attention as she looked back down at the socket wrench now in her other hand. “Wait—”
“I swear, something weird is happening right now,” Lisa pulled a bandage from her pocket. “None of this makes sense. What do you remember?”
Zoey set the wrench on the table, holding out her injured hand for Lisa to apply the bandage. “Well, there was that black bubble thing, and then after that, I asked about ice cream, and then—wait no, I asked about ice cream first, right?”
Right?
“I think so,” Lisa stuck the bandage over Zoey’s gash. “I can’t remember very clearly either right now. It’s all so foggy to me. All I know is that something doesn’t feel right.”
“How?”
“I don’t know how to describe it. You know how sometimes you get that weird feeling in your stomach, where you just know that there’s something really, really wrong?”
Zoey inched a little closer on her stool… wait, wasn’t she on the floor just now?
Maybe not. Lisa didn’t seem to notice.
“That’s how it feels. Here” —Lisa shot up again— “follow me.” She raced to the door, Zoey following close behind. “If what I’m thinking is correct, Caleb should be in the baseme…”
Zoey pulled against her babysitter.
“…I already checked, didn’t I?”
“Yeah.”
“Still,” Lisa took another small step. “We should bring Caleb and his friends up here. It’s better for all of us to be together if something happens again.”
She opened the door.
Nothing was there.
Like, nothing nothing.
“Lisa…” Zoey began to tug again. That darkness behind the door was bad.
“They’re still down there,” the words drifted from Lisa. “Still… in there…”
“We have to go, Lisa,” Zoey guided her away, weaving between scattered parts and tables toward the driveway. “You said the driveway is where it’s safe.”
A sickening crunch caught both of their attentions as she took another step.
That wasn’t good, was it?
“Zoey, your—”
Foot.
Zoey stared in horror at the void just beneath them.
“Lisa?”
She felt Lisa’s hand tighten around her own.
“Yeah?”
“What’s down there?”
“I don’t know.”
The sunlight above them flickered as Lisa pulled Zoey closer. The ground and air crackled with an energy foreign to either of them as pieces of the ground began to collapse into the hole Zoey’s foot had created.
At least this time, she wasn’t caught in it.
…Like that was any less bad then whatever was happening now.
Thunk.
Everything went dark.
“Where did the sun go?” Zoey whispered, nestling closer against Lisa. A chill ran down her spine.
“I don’t know.”
The ground gave out beneath them.
---
Zoey gasped awake, her body shuddering with a heave as she frantically looked around.
It was dark. Like, really, really dark.
She felt a hand stroking her head.
“We’re not out of this yet,” Lisa’s shaky voice came from behind her. “I’m not sure where we are now, but it’s definitely not home.”
Obviously.
Zoey blindly leaned forward, crawling on her hands and knees. They were on solid ground at least, but this… she brushed her fingertips over the ground in front of her.
This wasn’t concrete anymore. Whatever this was, it was smooth. Like they were on a piece of glass.
She could feel Lisa’s hand around her ankle as she crawled. Probably this was the only way that they’d know where each other were.
“Caleb!” Lisa suddenly shouted from behind. “Caleb, you there?”
Silence. No hum, no weird growling grinding sound.
No Caleb.
There was, however, something in the distance.
“Lisa,” Zoey could feel her heart pounding her chest as she looked over her shoulder. “Lisa, do you see that?”
“Kinda. It’s that little bit of light, yeah?”
Zoey nodded, even though she knew Lisa wouldn’t see. “Yeah. Do you think we should go towards it?”
“I think so. It’s not like there’s anywhere else we could go.”
Zoey set off, slow step by slow step. Her hand still stung from the scrape she’d gotten earlier, but it hurt a little less now than before. Maybe it was something about how scared she was feeling?
All across her body now she could feel electric shudders. Almost like there was a cold breeze or something blowing past her. But slowly, the light began to grow closer with every movement. She could just barely see the outlines of her hands in front of her now, and Lisa even took her own hand off of her ankle.
It wasn’t very bright, but there was a bit of a shape beginning to form out of the light as they approached. It was a dim, almost shimmering yellow of sorts. Like a candle flickering through a window.
Zoey paused.
It was a candle flickering through a window.
She felt Lisa’s hand on her leg again. “I’m not sure if we should get any closer, Zoey. That’s not my house.”
Lisa began to pull her backwards.
“Wait!” Zoey tried to cling to the smooth ground the best she could. “That doesn’t mean we should go back!”
“I’m not” —Lisa grunted as the pulling grew stronger— “I’m not pulling you. Or, I… am I?”
She grunted again as the pull weakened. “Yeah, something’s pulling me.”
Zoey felt herself slip backwards a little. She grit her teeth, clawing now at the ground with her nails to no avail. Slowly, the two began to recede into the darkness, dragged by… whatever it was in there.
“Help!” Zoey cried out, scrambling now for something, anything that she could grip onto. Lisa joined in at some point as well, shouting out at the top of her lungs between wheezing breaths.
“Anyone?”
No one.

LIIII MY DEAR DO YOU HAVE ANY OCS?? ?(FROM ANY FANDOM)
HELLO DY DARLING!!!!I SADLY DO NOT HAVE ANY OCs :((
But that's not to say i haven't thought about making one!! It's just that my biggest shortcoming of being an artist is that I'm not a very creative person. I look at our family's ocs and you guys are so damn creative. I look at your ocs (can't tell if I like Tae Hyun more or Byung-ho hehe) and I'm like, 'DAMN THEY GOT A BACKSTORY AND EVERYTHING AND DY EVEN MADE A MINI COMIC ABOUT TAE HYUN LIKE I WOULD DIE FOR TAE HYUN IF IT MEANT NOT SEEING HIM ALL BEATEN UP ;-;'. Or I see Amai's ocs of Peter, Koshiro and Kosuke and I'm like 'DAMN THAT SANRIO TRIO ART IS SO FUCKING CUTE. AND KOSUKE BE LOOKING COLD AF IN THAT MINI COMIC AMAI MADE OF KOSUKE RUNNING GANGBUK BEFORE JOHAN🔥🔥🔥'. And there's also Sei's ocs of Yue and Haruhi and their designs are so pretty - and they just seem like a bunch of cool people and it's really neat reading about them like how Yue met Haru and how their dynamics work.
And I just find it really cute and cool how y'all are able to connect your characters with each other - and they all each have distinctive personalities and you can tell the amount of love, care and thought you guys put into your OCs. Like can y'all share me some of your creative juices please?? But that's not to say that I haven't thought of making one/haven't had made one before. They sorta just end up rotting in the 'WIPs' folder🤷🏽♀️
TL;DR: I don't have any ocs bc I suck at being creative but it's super fun reading about everyone's ocs!
#Dy you keep me alive#I miss I teracting with yall#So thank you for always being the first to reach out🥹#Li li speaks💬#Li li's asks💬#Darling Dy💙

Hi, reading annon! Thanks for the response. I have a lot of books I hadn’t had time for that I need to read that I had got as a holiday gift I think last year or the year before; all I wanted was books 🤓 I tried audible and I just cannot get into an audio book. Makes me sad cause I would LOVE TO. I need to read a book and mark certain parts that stand out to me, really digest it. Funny! I signed up for Libby this year and there wasn’t anything that I was looking for. Btw, Goodreads is the BEST! I am near a library for books that I’m not 100% on buying. But my problem is, I end up falling in love with a book and want to read it. I get most of my books used and at discount book stores for a really low price. It’s been pretty great. Pascal, love your travel recommendations.
So we can add to a “Chris discussion” (please don’t attack me). I really don’t like a lot of his taste in literature, at least what he’s shared. The only one I was happy to see him read was Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. The sequel Homo Deus was really good too! I’m also glad to see he’s traveling to places other than Disney World 🤣 Man, I would love to have that kind of privilege! Not everyone loves to travel, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But goodness! 😅
That’s a bummer your Libby app isn’t solid. It can vary from library to library and I’m fortunate to be signed up to two libraries with very good inventories. They get all of the best sellers, new releases, and popular books so I’m lucky there. It’s saved me a ton of money 😂 same with visiting the library! It’s the best way to read something you aren’t sure about so you don’t end up wasting money. The worst is when so many people rave about a book and you end up disliking it. That just happened to me with the new release The Assistant to the Villain. So many people seem to love it and I almost bought it last time I was at Target and I’m so glad I didn’t because I disliked it so much 😂 booktok liiiied!
Anyway, if you read anything good you’ll have to let us know what it is! And I agree, I don’t care for a lot of Chris’s taste in books either. But I’m sure he’d probably say the same about mine and that’s ok. We all have different opinions! Last year we put together a post of his favorite books based off of a celebrity book Instagram page. I’ll have to dig it up and reblog it for those interested in checking it out🦎

IWTV 1994, part 1 (and a side opinion on IWTV 2022 compared to the book and the movie).
<3
What I like about the movie is that they follow the book way closer. The books are weird & the movie is just as weird. <3 The thing they could've done with it in the modern version, ahhh.
Was it Brad? Was it Louis? Who knows, but works perfectly, lol.
Ok but you can see he is fascinated with Louis.
What did he want to do and expect her to do?? Calm her down after he ATE the dogs??? This is hilarious.
Oh, the overacting. The silliness of what's going on. Ok, the show isn't that bad. Even the word "slaves" sounds so weird, which reminds you how long ago it was. It looks weird when you have a visual. I gotta say, the movie barely makes any sense unless you read the book. No wonder I was always so bored and confused about it all, no matter how many times I tried to watch the movie (and during an actual watch) or read the book. And believe me, I tried MANY times. Wasn't the right time for me, but seems like now it is.
I'm anxious to know how they filmed the scene where Louis sets the house on wire. All his long hair could've been gone in seconds.
LMAO. Big mood.
I don't think I even appreciated before how wonderful he is. Because he is. He's beautiful and I don't mean only physically.
The fake blood is so bad :') They didn't figure out yet then how to thicken pomegranate juice, did they? If it was even pomegranate juice they used.
Oh. Hello there.
Ok but in the book Claudia was full on weeping? And here she isn't? And in the book it's Lestat who grabs barely alive Claudia and turns here??? While Louis stops here bc Lestat catches him during the act?? Liiies, all liiiies.
Even though, I admit, it makes sense. Lestat catches him, sees Louis' suffering and 'gifts' him this kid.
"Claudia, no!"
"Get back here, missy!"
Ok, having just watching the show, watching this is fun as hell. And it makes sense! They leave here alone, she immediately gets back to drinking blood.
I absolutely do ship them & you can't stop me. Canon. <3
Lestat watching her kill and being proud. <3
"There's something devil!"
"Yes. She's with me." <3
Lol lol lol. And when she scoots over when Lestat asks for "some room" and the corpse falls to the floor. I love it.
They're so cute.
:')
I love this. She's SMALL. All they had to do in the modern version is to remake this. Repeat this line about the doll. They do look like husbands that fight about their kid. That moment at the end of IWTV (2022) where Lestat says that Claudia should have never been made reminds me of this. And yet, I think it captures what the book has. It feels right.
A baby. A thirty five years old baby.
This is such a good scene in the book and such an underwhelming here? :(
The hands. The way this works. Honestly, my problem with the show is not even the race. Whatever, I'll complain about it (golden curls!! her skin like purls *sigh*), but I can take it. No, my problem is Claudia's age and what they're portraying. Louis is not an uncle to her. Never was, never will be. "My mother and my father", but also her beloved. She was in love with him. She longed for him. The amount of beautiful toxic relationships the show could've had. Rape? Of 12 y.o.? She never left Louis. She couldn't. She had a body of a five year old. That's what I want. That.
Either leave her at 10-12 (cause I doubt anybody would actually hire, like, 7-10 y.o. & I understand why. Traumatizing af & can mess with their head) and make her stay cause she simply CAN'T leave. Or age her up around 14-15 and make her in love with Louis. A love triangle ('cause show!Lestat already sees her as a rival that wants to take Louis away from him) that would be sooo interesting to watch.
But to ignore either of those things? :(
Hellooo? A moment of weakness and tenderness from Lestat towards Claudia? THE THINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN. Ok, my mind is going towards au where Lestat genuinely loves both Claudia, and when the three of them visit vampires in Paris, they manage to escape. A complete AU that wouldn't work in canon but yeah.
The fact that in the movie Claudia finds kids with the hair exactly like hers??? And it's twins? And of course Lestat wants to drink from them?? Queen. One thing I don't understand though: didn't Lestat feel they were already dead? He's the one who taught her not to drink from the dead.
How about calling him "Father"? And "I'll put you in your coffin forever"? No? Rude.
She IS like a doll. That's incredible.
"We were alive again", but no words about how "We were in love" & "We were wed". Cowards. It's in the book.
The buffoon scene and how Armand intervenes. If it's not in the show, I'm gonna complain so much :) Movie!Armand, however, is kind of weird. I'm biased 'cause I listen to an audiobook & in the audiobook his voice is deep and he speaks a bit slow, controlled. I imagine him moving like that, too. With grace of the years of experience and maturity he has behind his back. I'm a bit "Huh??" about this Armand. Also, the wig/hair is so bad. I think they overdid it. Should have been a bit shorter.
I LOVE how they dressed her. I love how her wardrobe progresses during the movie. She's still as young and small, but the clothes and jewellery expresses her mental age. And by the time they reached Paris she was already in her mid fifties, I believe. That's great.

LIIII THAT CHAPTER WAS 😫😫 PERFECTT I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!
also this “Some acts of courage and love do not warrant words, do not need them to be honored so.” is the most beautiful sentence i’ve ever read. you have such a way with words and such a brilliant mind, just. wow
ahhhhhh thank you <3 in many ways ive really let myself be more prosey and poetic with bily that i feel i can't be with my other writing! i enjoy the more metaphorical and overdone aspects of it. my favorite line is probably 'what is love other than a particular kind of envy" cuz YEAH

Hiya! (Soft anon here btw!)
Jungkook taking it upon himself to announce that jimin is happiest with him absolutely tears up my feels 🥺 bby knows it’s true too 😭 just look at the amount of time they spend together. They enjoy each other’s company and it shows ☺️
And while we’re on the topic of jikook being soft and sweet I’m wondering what do you think of their soft tones when speaking to each other? Personally I am an absolute sucker for this 😭 It never fails to make me melt! The gimbap Vlive head nudging, how they were so patient with each other throughout 🥺 jimin’s recent bday Vlive when he calls jungkook. Like yeah, their using their insides voices and whatever BUT STILL. The way jungkook says “Aniya”, explaining he had to keep working out because his muscles are gone (LIIIIES!). Ughh. That bday Vlive was filled with some sweet af moments…I am not over the way jimin was so happy and a little embarrassed, bc bby felt so awkward and wanted someone to be there with him 🥺 gosh… I adore the way they were teasing one another by saying their names in that serious and low tone that they do.
Ahhh anyway, there’s so many other examples but I’ll spare you my fangirling. It’s just another jikook thing that gets me…I am a very weak person and I can’t stand their shenanigans 😔
P.s. I will always try to bring some kind of positively! I just love talking about the little things that make jikook JIKOOK. Do you know Wonsummernight’s motto? How they respect the analysis stuff but it’s not them? I kind of feel that way (I don’t make vids or content tho lol) but I just enjoy them and whatever their relationship is. They are just…ugh. 🤧 I’m a basic ass shipper who loves their chemistry, and while all the analysis are interesting to read about (especially if it makes logical sense) it’s not something I can dwell on for too long, simply because we will probably never know the truth of why this and that happened, or what exactly their relationship is. Just enjoy them as they are for now while we can <3
SOFT ANON! I save your ask for when my day is winding down lmao I'm not ignoring you, I swear! My head also hurts--a lot of interesting thought nuggets today.
I do love when they talk softly to one another, but I'll admit that I refrain from being loudly excited about it, because a lot of Jkkrs like to say that this tone they have is exclusively used in each other's company. But it's not like I watch enough content Jikook with other members to see if they talk that softly to the others as well..? And that's always in the back of my head, ruining everything for me lol (I only do this to myself).
Ugh, god, who invented sleep and time? I wish I could clone myself so I can force them to do this research work for me.
But seriously, outside of those thoughts, I adore the way they are with one another. Aside from the kimbap Vlive, I think it's a Bangtan Bomb where Jimin is trying to convince Taehyung and Jungkook to let him draw on their shirts, and the way Jungkook denies him but does it softly?? Help??
I don't know too much about wonsummernight, but I have seen some of their funnier compilations. I think it was one of their earlier videos that kind of helped me pay more attention to Jikook, but I do respect their take on analyses.
Thanks, I miss them now. 😭
