Chuan, 36
36. To Lose Control
Chase staggered. At first, he thought he imagined it. Chase was far to proud to let someone see him hurt. How many hours had he spent worrying because he could not trust Chase when he said he was alright?
He drew back, preparing to strike again, but before he could ready his spear, Chase spun and tried to leap towards him. He stumbled to his knees, then regained his footing, his movements slow and ungainly. His lips drew in a thin line and his hair hung in a limp tangle over his face.
Chase doubled over, clutching his forearm. Spines erupted between his fingers. Guan backed away, a chill spreading through his heart and old instincts telling him to protect his friend.
He curled in on himself, the spines and scales slowly retreating, leaving smooth skin and shattered armor in their place.
He remained hunched over, his back spasming with every erratic breath. Then his hand fell away and by fractions of degrees uncoiled, swaying on his feet.  
His head tilted to the side, his mouth hanging slack, unable to drink in enough air. His eyes were wide and glassy, staring at a point far beyond Guan.
His back arched and scaled flared up his exposed arm, then vanished as quickly. His hands remained curled into claws.
Clenching his teeth, Chase lurched through a few steps more, the sheer strain of being written over his old friend’s features.
Then he fell forwards.
Guan’s spear clattered to the ground as he rushed to catch him. He half expected Chase to shove him away. Instead, Chase’s claws scrambled and dug into his back. He leaned his forehead against his shoulder, his breathing shallow and rapid as Guan held him upright. That he didn't fight made him hold on all the tighter.
His back rippled under Guan's hands. Spines sliced his skin one moment, then vanished the next. Blood dripped down his back as Chase writhed and shifted, his legs buckling and snapping.
He should let go. It would be safer. It would be more sensible. When he regained control of himself, Chase would never forgive him for this. They would resume their eternal battle, only he was unarmed and unable to get to a safe distance.
But if he didn't...That Chase let him see him losing his hard won control...That he clung to Guan like centuries of bitterness and enmity meant nothing in the face of what was coming, made him wrap his arms all the tighter, like he could hold onto whatever humanity Chase had left.
When Chase finally stilled, his pupils were blown so wide his eyes looked black in the fading sun. There was some relief in the familiar bitter anger they still held, but not much. Blood flecked his lips and spattered against Guan's chest with every ragged, gurgling breath. He trembled with the effort it took to hold this form.
And as much as he wanted to hope otherwise, he knew that whatever happened next, Chase wasn't coming back from this.
Chase's claws crept up his back, rested, shaking and clammy, on his shoulders and neck. His gaze was steady and unbreaking as it could be. His jaw set in determination, then too quick to brace against rending claws, Chase pulled him down.
Chase's lips met his, hungry and desperate.
Every time he imagined this, Chase never tasted like blood.
Chase nipped at his lower lip. One of his hands tangled in Chase's soft, dark hair. Their bodies molded to each other, and he wanted enough time to appreciate everything familiar and discover everything new.
This is everything he ever wanted. And at the same time, he wants none of it. There's a part of him that wanted to be angry that Chase would do something this selfish and impulsive, when he knew he wouldn't be left to pick up the pieces. But Chase won't be here to pick up the pieces. This is all they'll ever have.
And all too soon, Chase shoved him away and staggered back. For a few moments, his expression was of heartachingly familiar cocky, shameless satisfaction.
Then the man fell away and only the beast remained.

Subscorp- B, Liulao- P
....Okay I should have figured THOSE two ships would be the first to be requested.
BTW, If the ask doesn't specify which verse, it will automatically be set to MK11. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Anyways, let us begin.
SubScorp B- Bondage; Who gets tied up and how
Technically both. Hanzo usually ties Kuai up via his chain. Kuai uses his ice to freeze Hanzo's hands wherever he wants them.
LiuLao P- Positions: Favorite positions and why
They both prefer missionary position as they like to be face to face while they go at it, although Lao will suggest others just to try them.
Link to the meme thing to view the a-z list is here.

I have a very stupid and very specific request, friends. I need the Balin's Tomb fight scene set to Toxic. I know it exists, and there's a not small chance I've rb'd it before, but probably didn't tag it.
My Google-Fu has failed me. Help me tumblr, you're my only hope

[Thank you to @avi17 for beta services, any remaining whoopsie-doodles are my own]
Steve Harrington pulled out his pack of cigarettes and placed one between his lips. He dropped the pack back into his pocket and then patted around himself for his lighter.
Fuck. He sighed.
It didn't matter how many gas station lighters he bought and stuck into the pockets of all his clothes, he somehow always ended up losing them immediately.
Talking around his cigarette, he turned to Eddie.
"Help me out here, man. Light me." He aimed the unlit cigarette at his friend.
"Yeah, gimme a sec," Eddie said as he put his acoustic guitar to the side and patted his own pocket. He pulled out a lighter and then reached over and plucked the cigarette from Steve's lips and placed it between his own and proceeded to light it. Then, once lit, he removed it and placed it back between Steve's lips.
Steve just stared, shocked.
What the hell was that? Who lit someone's cigarette that way?
By this point, Eddie had already gone back to messing around on his guitar, didn't seem to notice Steve's reaction at all.
"What was that?"
"You asked me to light your cigarette, I did," Eddie shrugged.
"You could've lit it while it was in my mouth."
"Consider it paying the toll."
Steve laughed at the audacity and got back to digging through Eddie's cassettes as he smoked.
That was the first time. But then it happened again. And again. And eventually it was just the natural way Steve smoked. More than once Steve had realized he did in fact have a lighter, right after Eddie had lit his.
And then once, Steve felt the lighter in his pocket and asked Eddie to light his anyway.
After that, he just stopped trying to carry lighters.
It wasn't until months in, when the habit had well and truly formed, that it happened in front of someone else.
Of course it was Nancy. Why wouldn't it be Nancy?
It was a momentary lapse in judgment. He was running on autopilot. Cigarette goes in mouth, ask Eddie to light him, Eddie takes his toll and puts the cigarette back in Steve's mouth. That's just how Steve's cigarettes get lit.
But then as he was taking his first drag, his eyes happened to catch on Nancy and the look on her face made his blood run cold.
With a barely detectable nod leftward from Nancy, Steve knew his presence was requested for a chat.
He let Eddie know he was helping Nancy get something down from a high shelf and would be right back, and then followed Nancy up to his dad's home office and shut the door quietly.
"What the hell was that!?"
"What, he was just lighting my cigarette," Steve said defensively.
"Are you two dating?"
"What? No!"
"It looked rather intimate."
"I mean, yeah, I guess it is. I dunno, it's just how Eddie lights people's cigarettes."
"He does this to other people?"
"I assume so," Steve shrugged, realizing he had only ever imagined Eddie lighting other people's cigarettes that way after the very first time. After that, he hadn't really circled back to the the thought but now that it was back, Steve found he didn't much like this mental image at all.
Some of what he was thinking must have shown on his face because Nancy gave him a look dripping with kindness and a sprinkling of pity.
"You like him."
"No."
"You like him."
"I don't."
"Steve. You like Eddie."
"...Shit," he cursed, looking off to the top of the bookshelves. Then he looked back at Nancy, seemingly miserable.
"What do I do, Nance?"
She thought about it a moment then shrugged. "Date him, I guess."
"I mean, clearly I'm gay for him, as you just rudely forced me to realize. But I don't even know if he would be willing or interested in dating men. Well, not men, just me."
"I think he is interested. He lights your cigarette in his own mouth."
"Yeah, but that's just paying the toll, Nance! It doesn't mean he likes me! You gotta tell me what to do soon or Eddie will think we are doing something up here. Come on, use that big nerd brain."
Nancy rolled her eyes, but smiled in amusement. "Fine. A simple experiment. Next time he smokes, you do too. See what he does when his lips are already busy. See you this evening, don't be late or we'll miss all the trailers."
And with that she grabbed a pack of printer paper and left the office. He heard her say goodbye to Eddie and then leave.
The rest of the day was spent waiting for Eddie to smoke, and as they say, a watched pot never boils.
Eventually, it was time to head out for the theater. Steve was on edge from trying to act like he was just hanging out with his friend in a normal way instead of obsessively watching him for clues and waiting for him to smoke.
Finally, when Eddie climbed into the passenger seat, he cranked the window a bit and lit his own cigarette. Steve waited a moment while waiting for the car to warm up, then pulled his own out and placed it to his lips.
"Light me?" Steve asked.
"Yep, I got you."
Eddie placed both hands on the edges of Steve's jaw and brought their faces together. Steve's heart nearly burst out of his chest thinking Eddie was going to kiss him, but then he realized Eddie was trying to position their cigarettes tip to tip. Steve snapped out of it and used his lips to help aim, then they both puffed in and out quickly a few times to pass the flame.
He cursed the flammability of thin paper wrappers when his cigarette caught and Eddie released his face. Steve felt fluttery from how unbelievably intimate and sensual that had felt. Not only had Eddie cupped his jaw, fingers bracketing his ears and fingertips in his hair, but it was also very easy to convince yourself someone is looking at your lips instead of your cigarette in such close proximity.
He took a moment to breathe, overwhelmed.
"Steve?"
"Yeah, should be good, just making sure the engine was warmed up." He threw the car in gear and backed out of the drive.
When they arrived, Nancy and Jonathan were waiting out front, huddled for warmth or because they were in love. In a Midwest winter it was hard to tell sometimes.
As soon as Nancy was in view, she and Steve had a nonverbal conversation with their eyes. She questioned, he answered, she looked exasperated, he shrugged.
As soon as they got their seats, Steve threw his coat down next to Eddie and announced he'd grab everyone's snacks if Nancy would help carry. Eddie and Jonathan both offered but Steve and Nancy shot them down and dashed off to chat.
"Wow, really?"
"Yeah! I thought my heart was going to leap out of my throat, I'm a changed man, I'm never going to recover from that. I'm never going to let him smoke alone, either, even if this doesn't mean anything, at least I could relive that moment again and again!"
"I really think he likes you, but if you really want more proof, I'll think of something…"
After the movie, the four stood out back behind the theater, chatting about the film. Nancy watched Steve and Eddie talking excitedly to each other, unintentionally ignoring her and Jonathan. They were quite clearly so intimately comfortable with each other, there was no way they wouldn't be the perfect fit.
And then an idea came to her and she grabbed Jonathan by the shoulder and pulled him down to whisper in his ear.
He glanced nervously over at the two and then back to Nancy, then pulled out his cigarettes which had a lighter stuck down the clear foil, clearly visible, realized and shoved them back into his pocket awkwardly and fumbled to pull a cigarette out with the pack in his pocket.
"Hey Eddie, light me?"
"Sure," Eddie shrugged, tossing his lighter to Jonathan in an underhand throw, barely sparing the man a glance. Steve waited a very conservative five seconds before leaning in to kiss Eddie and Nancy was both pleased and embarrassed that Eddie responded by pressing Steve up against the wall by the dumpster.

Roadie/rockstar fic is all done!
Summary:
"At the beginning of his rant, lecture, whatever, Hottie stares right at him. He has a really intense stare. Pretty brown eyes set in a prettier face with even prettier hair on top of his head. Eddie gets distracted by all that pretty and by trying to make his point. And he doesn’t notice until halfway through that Hottie isn’t looking at him anymore. He’s looking at his friend. Eddie looks at her, too. Looks at her confused and focused expression. Looks at her hands moving rapidly. Oh. G-d. Hottie’s deaf, isn’t he?" It's the first time Corroded Coffin goes on tour, and a well-intentioned Eddie Munson puts his foot straight into his mouth when he tries to talk to a light tech. God bless the power of stupid apology songs, shared experience, and twenty four hour diners for giving him a second, better chance. (A Deaf guy and an amputee walk into a twenty four hour diner for a combination first date and apology meal.)

Dndhat, Xedgin, "rain"
Tumblr media
for @avi17: Sharing an umbrella
ID under the cut
very lovely request; thank you 🧡
[ID: Fanart of Edgin Darvis and Xenk Yendar from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. They are outside: Edgin is holding an umbrella between them. It's raining heavily; gray clouds cover the sky behind them, with mountains and trees almost hidden in darkness. Edgin is wearing a gray jacket; Xenk is wearing a beige shirt and a blue coat. They are both softly gazing at each other. It looks like Edgin is saying something that has Xenk smiling. /END ID]

WIP game
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
I was tagged by @niennawept and @irisseireth and this is going to be a TRIAL because... I do not have a WIP folder. I have a writing folder, and everything both complete and in-progress is jumbled in there like one big dystopian society. So let me try to pick out the stragglers.
Adar
Christmas Spider
Distance 3
Loki from HR
Memory of Ice
Pepper already had the beginnings of a headache
Sep 16
Gonna tag uhhhhh @abner-krill, @teadrunktailor, @securitybreach, @avi17, @3hobbitsinatrenchcoat, @inappropriateheadquarters, @moriondors

Writing Patterns (Tag game!)
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
oh this is fun!!! if i can even remember what my last ten fics were, chronologically, jesus. tagged by @northstarfan, with whom i wrote (*counts*) fully half of these. XD THANKS, BB!!!<3
Hugh’s legs trembled, and sweat beaded on his face, cold and distracting, but he said nothing, only planted his feet a little wider and tried again to lift the weight in front of him. (source)
Hugh makes his way to his and Elnor’s shared quarters after work, bag of pastries in hand, and chimes the door. (source, nsfw)
Lao couldn't get his arms around Liu Kang, couldn't raise them or make them respond. (source; slightly cheating - this is the first sentence after a section break, but it was the first paragraph i wrote.)
Until he heard from a friend about the police chief posting in a sleepy seaside town, Martin Brody had never heard of Amity Island. (source)
Kung Lao had never thought less of Liu Kang because he wasn’t destined to be a champion. (source)
Sunlight was just beginning to slant in the transom above the big picture window of Hugh’s quarters. (source, nsfw; slightly cheating - this is paragraph 4 of the fic, but it was the first paragraph i wrote.)
Elnor peered out through the blazing Coppelius heat, the horizon shimmering to a watery blur, and pushed his sweat-stuck hair off his forehead with the back of his arm. (source, nsfw)
Joe’s shocked almost speechless when he comes to the morgue late one Friday to pick up Fernando for dinner; Fernán had to work a little later than he did, finishing up paperwork in advance of what, apparently, is well-known among medical examiners as the “Christmas rush.” (source)
The memories are so faint and confused now, and Elnor struggles to recall his father’s face. (source)
An array of green lights burned far overhead like a hundred malicious eyes; pain burned across his skin, and he couldn’t move his arms or legs or even his head, which Elnor realized, as he fought back to consciousness, was because he was restrained, not paralyzed. (source)
honestly, i try to start fics by copying the styles of better writers i've read, and by trying to avoid anything too cliched or over the top. apparently i have a strong preference for starting with pretty straightforward subject/verb constructions rather than prepositional phrases or lines of dialogue. (i feel like i used to open on dialogue a lot more often when i was younger? i think i may have intentionally started steering away from it because it strikes me now as the kind of thing that could get annoying to read over and over.)
tagging @suilesbian, @cactusdragon517, @wolfhalls, @hellolittleogre, and @avi17, as well as anybody else who wants to pick it up and run!

last sentence meme
Tagged by @northstarfan
Last Sentence Tag Game: Write the latest line from your WIP (or post where you last left off in your art) and tag as many people as there are words in the line. Make a new post, don’t reblog. (Spoiler, I'm not going to tag that many people. :) )
------------
"Gathering up their belongings in a whirlwind and stuffing his feet in his boots the same moment he climbed out the window he felt relatively sure that they were managing a getaway which would have put bank robbers to shame, which was why it was a particularly harsh blow to find that damnable Mr Rocks at the back window, holding the bridle of Goodnight’s horse and an annoying smile on his annoyingly handsome face.
“I thought we had a gentlemen’s agreement?” he said.
“I heard those are only binding if you’re both gentlemen,” Goody said between gritted teeth.
