Day 14- Alt “You’re pathetic.”

Picking an alt for day 14 for whumpril but hopefully with this i'll have caught up

Familiar Faces set Season 3 ep 14, set after Day 13 Angry tears and before Day 10 Adrenaline

The Mikealson ball goes on, Elijah is not enjoying it before he gets dragged into being part of the hosts

-----

Elijah bit back the urge to curse out loud as he saw Elena enter the ball despite his pleas that she stay away from Esther, why couldn’t his sibling just listen to him, before he could make his way to her and try to get her to leave he was stopped by another sibling.

“Elijah.” Finn called as he stepped into his path, Elijah had managed to avoid him and Klaus since he arrived, mostly staying at Jenna’s side or speaking with Kol and he flickered around the room to greet all the guests, likely on mother’s order. 

He stopped, not that he had much choice as Finn stood in front of him, he hated the fact he had to look up to meet Finn’s eyes at this closeness.

“This is a new start.” Finn tried to reason with him as he glared back, at least he didn’t need to explain to Finn why he was angry at him.

“She’s the one who failed us,” he snapped back, reminding his brother.

“Elijah we all need to-” his brother started but Elijah cut him off with a laugh.

“Change” he finished before stepping away“and yet you return to the same place you have always been, at mother’s side, clinging to her skirt.”

He frowned as Finn following him forcing him to step further away from where he had left Jenna and Elena who he noticed was joined by both his other brother, the Salvatore could at least keep his self sacrificing twin with the witch with a habit of using doppelganger blood

“Tell me brother who has placed the job of minding our siblings since i’m not returning to the role?” he asked, covering his annoyance as he realised he was being shepherded away with a taunt he knew would push Finn’s patience.

“Mother wants to see you.” Finn admitted as Elijah realised he had been led away, not just from his family but to a side door, one clearly closed off for guests. 

As much as he wanted to remind them he was just a guest here and pull away from Finn to return to his family, he could also feel Klaus on the other side of the door.

It was rather clear this ‘choice’ only had one answer.

“Of course, always the errand boy.” he signed as he gave in, he would have left it if he hadn’t noticed the shift in Finn’s expression a mix of pleasure and getting what he wanted and fulfilling mother’s request, “You’re pathetic.” he smiled coldly at his brother before turning away and barely glancing at Klaus as he met him on the other side of the door.

—

After months living in this house as it was renovated, and the last kept them as little more than house arrest he knew where they were going.

He isn’t surprised to find Esther standing of the otherside in the living room waiting for him, he is however to find Kol and Rebekah also waiting there, so this was planned, he didn’t glance at either of them in betrayal for not warning, he understood.

It's just he no longer cared about Esther’s wishes.

So had she called him here to humiliate him in front of them as a warning to them or was this an attempt for her to remind him of the full family, to use his siblings against him.

Unfortunately for her, his complete family didn’t include her and he would love to see what would happen if she attempted to ban his siblings from seeing him.

“How can I help you Mrs Mikaelson?” he asked the image of a polite guest, ignoring as Finn and Klaus followed him into the room.

She sighed heavily as if he had disappointed her.

“Elijah, I expect you to deal with your petulantance.”she told him “I understand the emotional issues returning to a younger body and reliving childhood could have confused you, I’ve watched over you, I understand what you have gone through from this curse.”

He choked at her words, refusing to let the panic he felt at the thought of her watching from the other side as he worked on the street, as he crawled after Tristan and cried himself to sleep for the first few years he was in the hospital praying his uncle would come back for him.

“May I suggest getting yourself checked out at the hospital.” he offered turning his choking into an amused scoff, “either your hearing is going for your having memory issues but I told you this morning you're not my mother.” he repeated.

Elijah didn’t look away from her but he heard his siblings shift around the room, clearly uncomfortable at the tension or that he hadn’t given in.

Maybe that was why hse had chosen to do this in front of an audience she was hoping he’d give in to spare them of the discomfort, he had never really liked conflict in his first life.

Turns out that’s something he had learned to, some point over the last thousand years.

“Elijah, do not embarrass me.” she snapped.

“I’m sorry,” he demurred, looking down but watching from the corner of his eyes as she relaxed before speaking again “but your continued existence is an embarrassment to Niklaus reputation.”

“Hey!” Klaus snapped from the side only stopped by her hand wave.

“I mean how come you fail to make sure she stays dead but Zach does.” he called over as if the use of his brother’s name so carelessly didn’t hurt, he rolled his shoulder well aware that his looser postured made Klaus uncomfortable a reminder that he wasn’t just his responsible controlled older brother.

“Zachary Salvatore is on the other side,” Esther spoke softly, soothing, Elijah froze as something crawled its way up his throat. “He wouldn’t want this for you-”

Right, it was repulsion in his throat, at the idea she could use Zach against him. That anyone could use Zee against him when Zee was his, only his, they were all each other had. 

Stop living for others, you're free. Live however you want EJ, Zee’s last words for him, going to his death but more concerned Elijah would lose himself in the afterwards.

She was smiling so sure that had swayed him.

“Since Klaus failed to make your stay there permanent, maybe I can try.” he smiled back, ignoring the way all his siblings flinched.

He wasn’t surprised by the sudden movement from the edges of the room.

Finn and Klaus, Mother’s golden boys. He really needed to deal with the unfortunate refresh of his childhood feelings that the age of his body had brought and Esther’s return had empowered.

Two hands grabbed him at the same time both very much going to leave bruises, the hand on his right catching his shoulder thumb pressing onto his collar bone while the other vice like hand curled around his forearm, he didn’t look away from Esther’s eyes keeping a smile on his face but he noticed the taller one was on his right, Finn’s grip was the one threatening to break his collarbone with the grip tighter than Klaus.

Seemed Klaus has learned a little.

“BOYS STOP!” she shouted after a moment’s delay, was that shock at her son’s attacking the normal peacekeeper or had she wanted Elijah to get a warning from it, Elijah tried not to wonder anymore, he didn’t care about anything Esther wanted. “I expect you to be civilised,” he bites back the comment over learning that from the Gilberts, “not act like animals” he heard his own teeth click as he swallowed another comment over her taste in lovers, he had brought Klaus into this once already.

“Fine, what do you want?” he sighed, rolling his shoulders as he did, the sooner he agreed to whatever she wanted, the sooner he could leave and get away from her.

“You’re to stand with the family during the toast.” she told him, the frown on her face, this had clearly not gone how she wanted.

“Why?” he asked, know there was more to it but unable to see what

“The town knows you,” she smiles and he hates that he knows it means she won, “they trust you, it will help us settle in peacefully.”

He agrees with annoyance he doesn’t let himself show.

—-

He downs the drink the moment the toast is raised, the glass cracking in his grip.

How dare she! Airing his family secret, his adoption, to the town just so she could claim him, at least it was only his birth he brought into question.

That she had let Elena alone.

Still he’d take Isobel over Esther.

Fine, she wanted to be his mother in the eyes of the town, she could have it. The town was going to have questions and they would go to Elijah first, he was the one they knew, he’d grown up with these people, he knew just the ones that would spread the story faster than Esther could.

Elijah was going to be honest, as honest as he could and she couldn’t blame him if it was the truth, it was her own fault if it embarrassed her.

Introducing familliar Sun and Moon!

Another witch themed thing because i am normal about witchcraft more info under the cut!

These are definetly not their real bodies... they are just using the vessel provided by their witch as the means to manipulate the world around them... they could also manifest into this world but why bother with that if your witch is already giving you cute vessels? also they dont want to freak the witch out by showing them even a fraction of their real manifestation... they are scary

Yes Moons "base" is also a straw man but he just always catches fire so the witch has to give him new vessels all the time (though the straw burns for a surprisingly long time as Moon can control it rather well... his vessels could last forever if he wanted that but he likes the special treatment he gets when the witch makes him a new one so he just pretends that the straw is bourning out)

They are literally just chilling and making their witch practice basic self care...

They cannot speak but somehow they can evoke images and concepts in your brain when "talking" to you. So you kinda just know what they want to convey

#fnaf sun #fnaf moon #sundrop #moondrop #dca #daycare attendant #my art #familiar au #? #??? #idk #these guys just have been bouncing around my brain for some time #i had to get them out #love these little guys #also no faces for these guys #sorry no face previleges #😔

He noticed some commucion one day as he strolled around the plaza looking around for inspiration.

A crowd of some sort had formed around a corner; they were cheering, laughing at something- or someone- that he couldn't really see, due to the amount of people present.

As he approached the cheering citizens, his eyes lit up at what he witnessed.

A pair of men, two brothers he believed, were performing acts of comedy and telling jokes, keeping the audience they had gathered captivated.

They were foreign, he could tell, as the thick accent reverbted in their joyful voices. Their clothes dirty and broken in places, but the glint in their eyes lightning up whatever state their physical form were at the moment.

The man remained astonished: he could smell talent a mile away, and he believed he had just stepped a mine full of gold with these two.

After everyone had scattered, he approached, and while they remained wary, he simply clapped cheerfully.

"Bravo! You boys put on quite the show! I'm really impressed!"

He bowed down, a gleam in his eye: "My name is SMG4, and I'd like to offer you both an opportunity. How would you fine gentlemen like a better stage than the dirty streets of the Mushroom Kingdom?"

Here we go! First prologue of A Corsair Freebooter, aka how the Mario bros met SMG4.

The poor boys were immigrants that performed around the streets for money, and the blue man himself took a bit advantage of it and recruited them for his plays in theater.

(I want to point out that he doesn't straight up become friends with them... he's a bit of an asshole like in the first era in canon, where he mainly focuses on getting famous and popularity through his work...

He'll get there though in terms of friendship, don't worry!)

#added a few familiar faces in the crowd (FM and X eheh) #just changed them up a bit is all #also i dont know if i want to keep this format of telling the story or not #we'll see if you guys like it #smg4 #smg4 mario #smg4 luigi #smg4 pirate au #a corsair freebooter #my art

Saw your Mishanks bodyswap art! Very cute and fun! (Mihawk with a genuine smile on his face so so fun)

I imagine Shanks whould have trouble fighting in Mihawk's body at first since it's been years since he's had two arms

yes absolutely, i imagine that too! conversely, i think mihawk would have a little bit of trouble adjusting his balance and reach with a body missing one arm, as well. it's interesting to think about how they both would be forced to change their fighting style, and whether or not they would exchange swords.

mihawk's been seen using yoru with just one hand so he could probably pull it off with shanks's body. also interesting to think about shanks tripping up on having two arms until he naturally slips into his old fighting style again--or would he? because there's also the question of muscle memory, right? would mihawk's body automatically do things that shanks isn't predisposed to doing, and vice versa?

the other thing i find intriguing about body swapping in one piece is the question of whether or not your haki powers would switch as well. they say haki is spiritual presence, so presumably your haki switches if your spirits switch, but if it's the kind of spirit that's tethered to the presence of the body? then consider mihawk having the strongest conqueror's haki out on the blues, or shanks being able to use observation haki at mihawk's level, practically being able to predict the future--or mihawk, able to counter with shanks's haki-kill technique. food for thought!

#rei replies #one piece #mishanks body swap au #mishanks #akataka #dracule mihawk #shanks #akagami no shanks #red haired shanks #re: the genuine smiling #i also like to think shanks in mihawk's body would have this moment where he realizes his cheeks ache from all the smiling he's doing lol #bc mihawk's facial muscles arent used to doing it #and when they switch back shanks teases mihawk about it ('you exercise so many of your muscles hawky but your cheeks? they're weak!') #and he manages to get a smile out of mihawk that's mihawk's version of a genuine smile and it's softer and less wide but it's honest #and oh shanks is soooooo in love with him hahaha #BY THE WAY ALSO I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS OMG but in this body-swapped au mihawk-as-shanks would 100% shave for shanks #like hell is he gonna let shanks grow *stubble* on *his* face. dracule mihawk with STUBBLE? banish the thought!!!!!! #but shanks doesnt do it up to his standards so there's totally a scene where mihawk and shanks are body swapped in the bathroom #and mihawk is standing too close and shaving his lil pointy sideburns and mustache onto shanks's face #and shanks is having a crisis because that's his own face breathing too close and waaaay to intimately but that look of concentration #is ALL mihawk. shanks can practically his eyes--so familiar from the mirror and wrinkled with laugh lines--glow yellow with how #much mihawk looks like himself right now even in shanks's body. #it's all very strange. shanks has been attracted to mihawk for a long time but it's just blatantly unfair that the first time in YEARS #theyre this close again and it's shanks's own body that he has to look at. on the upside he supposes all he needs to do to ogle #mihawk is to look down. pros and cons pros and cons. #(mihawk isnt having a crisis. mihawk is annoyed that hia beard is easier to do in first person it is to do in the third person. #surely not having to do it reflected in a mirror should be easier and yet for some reason everything feels off! ugh.) #i digress

Steel Wool, I'm questioning if you somehow hired a microscopic spy to enter into my brain because your recent Help Wanted 2 announcement trailer SUSPICIOUSLY sounds as if Mike being dragged back into his PTSD triggering moments from Sister Location mixed with corporate bullshit from Macabre Mart

So in my familiar faces au, delara looks like jay instead of nya. Today I'm gonna further discuss that idea.

So Nadakhan's backstory is largely the same. He became a pirate, fell in love with delara, and eventually was trapped in the teapot of tyrhan by soto. There are only a few differences so far:

Obviously, delara looks different than in canon. She has long reddish-brown hair (usually tied back), lots of freckles (because hey, as a pirate she'd be out in the sun a lot), and a scar across her right eye (from an old battle - probably with soto. And don't worry I already have lots of jay angst planned that has to to with that scar... You'll see *evil author laugh*)

She'll also have a more developed backstory since I plan on making her a lot more important than she was in canon. I won't dig into it here because that will be explained during the story and could count as a spoiler, but just know it's gonna be a lot more than just nadakhan's fiancee.

Now, when nadakhan first meets jay to try and get him to wish, he doesn't realize at first that jay looks eerily similar to his dead lover. He does feel as if the ninja is familiar to him but he can't figure out why. This is because my hc since the whole character design change after hands of time is that jay has always had freckles and curly hair - he just chooses to hide them out of self consciousness. so when the two first meet, jay’s wearing concealer over his freckles and straightened his hair.

the first time that nadakhan sees jay with his natural features is on tiger widow island- because 1. jay got soaked while being the boat’s lightning rod (which washed away his makeup) and 2. since tiger widow island is tropical it’s probably pretty warm / humid, so his hair would puff up to it’s natural curliness again (an unfortunate event that i and many other curly haired folks out there have shared).

the story will begin on tiger widow island, and i won’t say anything more about the story (for now at least - i’m gonna be asking for y’alls opinion on something story-oriented later so just sit tight rn).

hope this was interesting to you guys. as always make sure to drop me an ask if you have any questions / ideas / comments. have a wonderful day!

FINALLY. FUCKING FINALLY FINISHED JESUS CHRIST.

Ok so. Heres the general breakdown for attack types:

Basic attacks: These attacks just use the weapons that manifest during their magical girl transformation. Theres no limit to using these. They don't utilize all that much magic but are still effective because the weapons are technically MADE of magic.

Ult attacks: Utilize more magic and have a recharge time of about 5 to 10 minutes (which is a pretty long time in a fight). They can only be used after quite a bit of practice, as they require the ability to channel a lot of magic in a short amount of time. A familiar and their person must be able to work together in order for it to be effective. The familiar has to be capable of funneling the magic to the caster, and the caster has to have experience CASTING it.

Specialized spells: Each one of these attacks is different from person to person. These don't necessarily have to be attacks, they can also be defenses or evasions. These are usually the most difficult for a caster to master and take even more magic than the Ult attacks. A magical girl typically uses it the first time on accident, during the heat of the moment where they are desperately drawing on more magic to defend themselves. After that it is a concentrated effort to cast these spells. It's usually a signifier that the magic is starting to settle in them and that they're ready to cast more. The recharge time for these spells is 10 to 15 minuites.

The recharge time for casting spells will decrease the more a caster is composed of magic... which is a post for later lmao. As much as I would love to get into the fun ship of Theseus glitter body horror in this post it would just take to long lmao but its COMIN EVENTUALLY I PROMISE.

Johnny is an excellent fighter because of his POWER and his RANGE. He's best suited to fighting merged ghosts because it's one big target to aim a lot of power at. His Ult spirals out from around him and can help prevent him from getting caught if a bunch of separate ghosts try to swarm him. The downside is that its harder to direct, and he's in danger of hitting teammates if they're in his range (which I said earlier is pretty large). His specialized spell conjures essentially a cannon of fire, which he can aim wherever he pleases. His magical recharge time is slightly shorter than he norm, and he strikes me as the type of person who would use them IMMIDIETLY after he recharges.

Johnny has trouble if he doesen't have enough room to move his Scythe around. He works best in big open spaces. Hallways and elevators and the like are a BIG nope.

Robbie is unique among the other ghost fighters because 1. He's the least experienced and 2. He probably has the MOST trouble getting along with his familiar (I cant see him and Eli getting along in any fuckin universe tbh). Because of this he's not as adept at channeling large amounts of magic. When he does try at an Ult attack it usually has a much smaller effect than the others (see top right with him swinging his hammer). This means he focuses mostly on non magical attacks; having two modes to use his hammers (regular and on the end of chains to give him range). He's not as powerful so he has to be more CREATIVE. His magical recharge time is about what I described at the top.

He fights best at close range and can use his chained hammers to drag enemies that are usually too far away closer to him (GET OVER HEREEEE fuck yeah mortal kombat). His big weakness is that his smaller weapons dont allow him to block as easily, so he needs to focus on dodging or using his specialized spell, teleporting, to get out for the way (mostly dodging though. he's not great at teleporting). He HAS to stay aware of his surroundings or he could get surprised very easily.

Im gonna need. A whole nother post to try and figure out how the charger fits into all this lmao.

Dannyyyy!!! His funky moon staff was so fun for me to think about. One idea that I thought of after getting everything drawn is him sticking it around a ghosts neck and using it to guide them around and use that ghost as a shield. He has similar weakness to Johnny in that he needs space to move and cast spells. His arm guards make him just the littlest bit more able to block attacks but he still primarily uses his staff to stop attacks from going through (most of the others do. Yayyyyyy spinny capabilities).

@moosemonstrous made the WONDERFUL suggestion of his specialized spell being THROWS ACID ON YOU THROWS SO MUCH FUCKING ACID ON YOU REDUCED YOU TO YOUR BASE ELEMENTS GET FUCKED NERD GET ACIDED cause of his green era lmfao. He really REALLY does not enjoy this and uses it as little as possible. His magic recharge time is also just a little shorter.

@rokhal YOUUUUU. You mentioned Frank having time manipulation like Homura from Madoka Magica and it spawned this whole class of spell I blame you for this.

Frank has the most experience with magical girling by FAR and its very apparent in his fighting style. He sometimes uses the magic manifested by preparing his Ult without actually COMPLETING the spell which is like. Fighting with RPG backblast in magical girl world.

Franks staff is more infused with magic than the other fighters weapons, which allows him to manipulate its length (Robbie does something to a similar effect with his chains at the cost of his magical attacks not being as strong. Frank has no such limits lol).

His specialized spell stops time for about 5 minutes. If he extends himself he can sometimes push this time longer but it is VERY tiring. He also has to be REALLY careful of his team mates movements. Positioning some metal shards for a ghost to fall onto is all well and good, unless Robbie manages to teleport directly onto it. His recharge time is much MUCH shorter than the others, it usually only takes him 2 minutes to recharge an Ult and 7 minutes to recharge his specialized spell (though that time does increase the more he uses it, so there are still consequences for expending that much magic)

ALSO CREDIT TO MOOSE AGAIN for starting the idea to have all of them be. Sort of afraid? of their specialized spells. Johnny is terrified that he will somehow manage to literally burn the, surprisingly sort of happy, life he's built to the ground. Robbie is scared one day he'll just pop out of existence entirely. That he'll just go to teleport and get stuck in the weird inbetween space of being composed of magic and thought without real form forever. Danny is almost too afraid to go near people while his spell is active because Please Jesus Christ don't get dissolved please please. Fuck this acid ability fuck it fuck this. Frank's is a nightmare and a dream in one. What if he finds a time so nice, so happy, that he just freezes it and gives everything he has to stay there forever? It's been so long since he's had a family. What if he cant bear to let this one go?

What if in Devil Bastard au Alastor's shadow is like Razzle and Dazzle meant to keep Lucifer's *child* safe only Luci never really specified which child and well shadow ended up with Alastor.

That sounds like a fun idea, but to be frank, Alastor's shadow just doesn't seem like something Lucifer would make. His tastes lean a lot more, um...

Cutesy.

I do like the idea of one of Lucifer's creations seeking out Alastor on their own though! Something that, like Razzle and Dazzle, appears small and adorable most of the time but is capable of taking on a bigger, more monstrous form when its charge is in danger. The creature probably was a prototype, or something Lucifer set aside in favor of Razzle and Dazzle and let gather dust. But when it sensed one of Lucifer's children in Hell, on his own, it did what it was designed to do and sought him out! Lucifer never even noticed its absence from his workshop (probably because it had been buried under a pile of ducks).

Personally, I think it would be hilarious if this creation had the appearance of a dog. A more animalistic hellhound than Beelzebub's people. A tiny, cute, fluffy puppy with black fur and six legs and a little set of horns on its head. When it thinks Alastor's in danger, however, it turns into a behemoth, with reptilian legs and a forked, serpentine tail and spear-like teeth that protrude out of its mouth.

Alastor does not care for the little beast when it first comes to him. He's not scared of dogs, per se, but he certainly doesn't like them. No matter how he tries to shoo or ditch the little creature, though, it won't go away.

Then he gets into his first turf war after the little dog shows up and it unveils its second form, ripping apart Alastor's enemies in moments. And, well...

Sure, he could have taken care of the small fry himself. But far be it from him to turn away a useful minion! So when it comes trotting over in puppy form, blood dripping from its maw, Alastor doesn't turn it away. He decides to name it Nicasius.

#ask #anonymous #Hazbin Hotel #the Devil's Bastard AU #Alastor #Hazbin Hotel OC #my first OC and its a pet #just imagine the look on Lucifer's face when Hell's Greatest Dad ends and then Nicasius comes trotting up to Alastor wagging its little tai #it takes Lucifer a hot minute to realize why the six legged dog looks so familiar

Familiar Faces - Interlude Mikaelson family.

Should be asleep, but Gif set got me inspired, Finn feels.

So how are the Mikaelson's doing without Elijah,

----

When Finn is finally free of the box he finds his family shattered.

He knows something had happened to Elijah, overheard it while stuck in the box but he doesn’t really understand until he sees the haunted lost look in Klaus and Rebekah’s eyes, finds Elijah’s still and unresponsive in a coffin not unlike his, while purposely not questing why Klaus had a premade coffin for Elijah, but without the dagger.

It was explained by the witch that had offered herself to watch over Elijah in return for Klaus sparing the rest.

Elijah had been cursed to get back at Klaus, his soul had been killing him, burning against the unnatural state of his body, while they didn’t know if it would have actually killed him the experience would have driven him mad or broke him.

Finn knows the box had done both to him and he wouldn’t have wanted that for any of his siblings.

So they came up with a plan to temporarily remove Elijah's soul and return after the curse was broken.

Instead another witch had stolen his soul and released it, leaving it unable to move on as it was still tied to the mortal plane via the body, forcing it to be reborn over and over.

Somewhere out in the world Elijah Mikaelson had been or would be born a human to live a mortal life, grow old, die and repeat.

Finn may have been jealous if not for the fact that it had to be the last thing Elijah would ever have wanted, and had denied Elijah a chance of ever resting. 

Finn knows he’s a replacement, that the sole reason Klaus undaggered him was because he wanted an older brother, and every moment after Finn is a reminder that Finn isn’t the one he wanted.

Finn doesn’t know Klaus as well, doesn’t know the words to sooth his tantrums that Elijah had perfected since Klaus was in single digits, and isn't willing to bit back his venom where Elijah would.

He had held back the comment that Klaus wasn't the brother Finn would prefer either, but he wouldn't take being told that he didn't care.

The first time and only time Klaus accuses Finn of not caring about Elijah, Finn had replied that this wasn’t the first time Klaus had cost him a younger brother.

The wide eyed, almost teary look of hurt and horror was enough to remind Finn of the little boy behind the big bad monster he tried so hard to show everyone.

He wondered if that glimpse was why Elijah had kept going, for his always and forever. If that even knowing that he'd be the one targeted Elijah would have done it anyway.

After that Klaus is far more careful about pushing Finn, they're more likely to end up screaming or throwing each other around than Elijah would have but they do develop a system.

They both ignore the times they come across the other talking to Elijah’s coffin.

Finn doesn’t mention, he knows that sometimes during the worst of their arguments he notices that Klaus pauses sometimes, still expecting, longing for Elijah to step in, the same way Finn wants it.

It was the way they were meant to work, the way he and Elijah had spilt the workload since they were children, Elijah had always known when to take the younger kids away when they had started to get on his nerves.

Now there was no Elijah, just a silent coffin and centuries of time Finn wasn’t there to see how his sibling had grown.

Rebekah is easier, she takes any distraction and is pleased to no longer be the one trying to calm Klaus’ worst impulses alone. She also pushes him to leave with sage after a while, even if she disapproves of his love, later he finds out it was only to get him out the way so he couldn’t interfere with her relationship with Marcellus.

He returns to find her daggered and Klaus alone with Marcel, he makes a reminder not to leave her or Kol trapped for too long and leaves it at that.

The first time Finn had explained to Klaus that he had become aware while trapped in there Klaus had looked shocked, but shrugged.

When he hadn’t managed to stop himself from begging Klaus not to the next time he had pulled the dagger as a threat, Klaus had looked horrified.

And then never brought the threat or dagger up around him again, not directly, Klaus still couldn't help a few veiled threats a century later.

When Kol is undaggered decades later his anger is turned on Klaus, Finn doesn’t hid his smirk when Kol screams the words Klaus had snapped at him on more than one occasion

“You're not the older brother I want.”

Kol throws himself back into magic at first to find a way to locate Elijah’s new life, Finn finds himself joining in, he and Kol for all they had never gotten along they had both learnt the most from mother in life. When Kol starts looking for ways to make Klaus understand the dagger he had stood by not helping but not telling Klaus either.

Any thoughts or mention of the dagger tended to freeze him.

When Klaus and Marcel found Kol out, Finn stood by then too as Kol was daggered, at least Kol understood not to look to him for help and instead Finn had fled and ended up spending the rest of the night sitting by Elijah’s coffin, speaking to it and still wishing for an answer even if he could barely remember his voice.

Elijah isn’t dead, but he’s taken from them just the same, and still Finn's on the outside as three of them miss the older brother that had carried them for centuries, Finn grieves the years he had lost with his younger brother.

What if Bruharvey but Batman is the eldritch half-human child of Gotham who gave up his humanity and has technically been missing for the last 10 or so years haha....

Don't have all the AU planned out but it literally came into being just because I want to write a scene of Harvey finding out this being who has lost everything was not only human, but his best friend. His best friend who gave up everything to Gotham, who is so far removed from human now they can barely mimic a humanoid shape.

I do think Bruce still lives in the Cave, but it's more like the whole tunnel system under Gotham, not just the one under the Manor. He's Gotham's Knight still, just with a more Gotham curse-approved form and a few blurry memories due to his mind no longer running like a human's.

Probably takes in the Robins still too, just differently. How that is I currently don't know and am up for ideas lol. Actually I am open to pretty much any ideas you guys have. Gimme anything you got lol

in the amelia pond au, amelia’s aunt does still send her to therapy between doctor adventures, but since amelia is now secure in the fact that he’s Definitely Real since both rory and mels have also met him and because she lost a tooth last week from tripping on the stairs of the tardis, she doesn’t bite any therapists this time around. and besides, her therapist is a very funny lady. she reminds amelia of her doctor, with how her voice will flip and jump in volume and accent and tone on a whim, with how she’ll talk to amelia like they’re conspiring together. she keeps the pictures amelia draws of the doctor and their adventures for her, even hangs one or two on the walls. she listens very intently to every detail, which no adults in amelia’s life do save the doctor himself and river song, whenever she’s around. and best of all, whenever she tells amelia’s aunt that amelia is doing just fine, don’t you worry, she’ll grow out of this, she winks at amelia so that amelia will know her therapist is only playing along to wave away her aunt’s suspicion.

it is a little odd, though, that she insists on only being called Missy. but amelia is quite used to odd by now.

#not the point of this post but. please do imagine amelia and rory and mels and the doctor all having escaped from Real Actual Danger #rory has the energy of a cat with its fur all puffed up and looks like he’s either going to start crying or yelling at the doctor #mels is standing on the box the doctor got her so she could see the tardis console better and studying the way he flies it very intently #and amelia is still full of energy and adrenaline and can’t stop racing around the tardis like a hyperactive gerbil. because if she stops #she might have to be scared instead but if she can run long enough she’ll forget to be scared at all and when she collapses exhausted all #she’ll have left are the exciting happy memories #and then she misteps racing up the stairs. shouts! the doctor and mels and rory are all at attention immediately. mels moves first but rory #is closer and helps amelia back up. and then the doctor is crouching down in front of her. ‘let me see. oh that’s a lot of blood. that’s. #how much blood are you able to lose again? its more than this. probably.’ amelia’s whole face hurts. but the doctor’s rambling is familiar. #it helps. and he’s only so talkative when he’s sure he has a solution. besides. rory’s head’s nestled on her shoulder and mel’s got her #hands. the doctor wipes blood off her nose and her chin. tilts her head up and goes ‘aaa’ sticking his tongue out until she does it too. #and he tells her to feel her upper row of teeth with her tongue. she does until she finds the gap. #it still hurts. hurts more when she nudges it with her tongue all bleeding and raw. but she just lost a tooth! and you know what that means. #they have to find it. or else how will the tooth fairy leave her any money? #(the doctor hears her say that to mels as they search. and he glances off to the side and makes a note to go back and make sure it *was* her #aunt leaving her those coins. and not something else. which he does. and finds out her aunt wasn’t leaving her any coins at all. #he can’t just let that stand! so the doctor becomes amy’s tooth fairy as well.) #and that is how amelia loses a tooth on the tardis. #amelia pond au

thinking about writing a third act break up/make up scarian fic rn…… like where they both realise that they miss and love each other at the same time and their respective best friends have to tell the other “he just left to go find you” and when they finally meet back up it’s a passionate kiss and a breathless apology and confession and maybe it’s raining and maybe they don’t care and maybe they’re getting soaked but they’re laughing and they’re together……

#like running through busy streets at night looking around at every face blindly hoping they find one that so achingly familiar… #and then they do… and they pause for a second and time seems to stop but they still see people pass by them; move around them #get annoyed that they’re just standing… but they don’t care because nothing else but the person fifteen feet in front of them matters… #and the clock starts ticking again and they race through the streets… and they don’t go home after that… #they hail a cab and go to a park… or to the river and they look at the city lights #but only in the reflections of each others eyes.. and they’re sitting on a bench when the sun rises and finally… everything is alright #sorry thinking about them so hard #they just mean the world to me #oh also happy new year! #scarian #desert duo #hermitshipping #grian #gtws #hermitcraft #life series #au concept #break up au

K33P Y0UR GUARD UP: RETCH takes a more defensive stance, one he remembers from his past. His agility and speed lowers but his attack and defense raise.
