SZÍVEM ✦ DR3

"In the symphony of emotions, "Szívem" resonates as a melody of love and tenderness. This Hungarian term translates to "(you are) my heart" in English and carries a depth of emotion within the context of love. Beyond a mere anatomical reference, "szívem" embodies a profound and sentimental connection. It's a tender expression, encapsulating the heart's vulnerability and openness in love. When someone refers to another as "szívem," it reflects an intimate bond, signifying that their heart beats in unison with the other. It signifies a poetic intertwining of hearts, acknowledging that love is not just a fleeting emotion but a permanent residence within one's very essence. In the language of love, "szívem" conveys a sentiment that goes beyond words, expressing a deep, intrinsic connection and an acknowledgment of shared emotions at the core of a meaningful relationship."

yourinstagram SURPRISE!!! Excited to share that my studio album 'Chrysalis' is taking flight tonight at midnight! 🦋✨ To put it plainly, for the first time in my life, I just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, this album embodies a journey of love, growth, and the beautiful chaos in between. This couldn't have been possible without my muse, the one who untangled all the strings around my wings that were tied. Now, I remember what it feels like to fly ❤️

Go save the world I'll be around" and "My name is whatever you decide and I'm just gonna call you mine.

Alfons Sylvatica

Story Event: I'm his cherished doll

Epilogue

Prologue (@/archiveikemen ♡)

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3 Premium

It took a sweet moment (cause translating sexy times will be the death of me) but here are the smuts. Of the particular sort. Make sure you're fine with microphilia (?) before you step in.

Kate's inner monologues when dealing with Alfons always crack me up. Yes, Kate, Alfons is your little angel. 💅 Most certainly NSFW, possible dubcon? (of the jp sort... you know the gist)

~~~

Alfons: "Come now, don't run away, pretty please."

Kate: "Ah......"

The doll's dress was already crumpled next to me.

Alfons: "It was kind of Victor to arrange underwear for you."

He hooked his fingers on my undergarments and tried to pull them off.

Kate: "Wait, stop..."

Alfons: "Oh? You forgot your part of the deal? I did everything you asked to help you."

Alfons: "In return, you're supposed to let me have my way with you."

Kate: "But..."

Alfons: "I do find your sincerity very admirable..."

Kate: "......gah."

(I shouldn't... and yet today, for some reason)

His sweet words, true or not, shook my heart.

(It's okay...I'm so small he can't do anything extreme)

I obediently removed my undergarments, leaving only a veil-thin petticoat.

Alfons: "Heh, a lot of people would wrap you in silks and keep you as their cherished doll."

Kate: "Not many are as twisted as you..."

Alfons: "Is that so?"

He removed his leather gloves, then placed me on his palm, unable to escape, and touched my chest with his fingertips.

Kate: "Ah...!?"

Alfons: "An honest and sensitive body that responds so well to the slightest touch."

Alfons: "A body that is willing to take it further, wouldn't you agree?"

Kate: "Stop... don't rub it... a-ah!"

I jumped as he caressed me through the thin fabric.

Alfons: "Haha, what a response when all I did was use my fingertips."

Alfons: "Is the (small) size making you more sensitive?"

Kate: "I don't knnn..."

Alfons: "Well, let's find out, shall we?"

Alfons: "We can report our findings to Roger afterwards."

Kate: "Wahh!?"

He brought his lips to my chest.

Both of my breasts completely disappeared, covered by his mouth, and this abstract situation made me feel a mixture of pleasure and fear.

(I-I'll be eaten...)

Alfons: "Heh... don't worry, I won't use my teeth."

Kate: "ah, ah....aah!?"

The tip of his tongue caressed my nipples through the fabric of my petticoat.

It moved slowly, but perhaps because of the difference in size, even the slightest stroke felt like a strong, unrelenting stimulation.

Alfons: "Mn... see, it feels good, doesn't it?"

Kate: "uh...ah, aah, hnng!"

I felt a shiver and involuntarily arched my back, letting my breasts press against the tip of his tongue.

Alfons: "Mm... you're so good at begging for more."

Kate: "Not tru... ahh....."

My head was spinning with embarrassment as I became more wet with each passing moment.

Kate: "Alfons... enough..."

Alfons: "......oh, forgive me, did you want me to lick here too?"

Kate: "aaahh!?"

A large tongue made its way between my legs,

and started rubbing against my wet spot, up to my navel, sparks flying before my eyes at the intense stimulation.

Alfons: "Heh, you like this, don't you? Shall I give you more?"

Kate: "Alfons, no... that's, na-ah...!"

Trying to escape the overwhelming pleasure, I stretched my legs whilst pushing my hips back… but

Since my body rested on his palm, there was nowhere I could retreat.

Alfons: "Ah, you're so wet..."

Alfons: "You know what I mean? Listen... Even a little poke with the tongue sounds amazing."

Kate: "......nnn...."

The tip of his tongue rubbed my juices up and down, playfully teasing at the entrance,

leaving a throbbing sensation and a growing heat in my lower abdomen.

Alfons: "It's a shame I can't touch you deeper than this."

Alfons: "All it takes is a little thrust of the tongue, and it tightens so much."

Kate: "Ah, no, no good... nn..."

As the relentless caress continued, the heat that was simmering up to this point suddenly erupted.

~~~

Kate: "Haa.... haaa..."

As my body had gone limp from the excessive play, Alfons gently rolled me onto the bed.

Alfons: "Heh... you did well."

Covered in doll sheets, I felt like I was in a fluffy dream.

Kate: "Are we done already...?"

Alfons: "... fancy something more extreme?"

Kate: "C-certainly not..."

I expected him to do whatever he wanted, but suddenly he gently wrapped me in a sheet, leaving me confused.

(When did he manage to prepare the sheet..?)

(It's as if this was his plan all along...)

I wanted to say something, but possibly due to my small stature, I had no strength in my body,

The intense pleasure left me depleted and sleepy.

Alfons: "... sweet dreams, dear Kate."

The voice that reached me sounded incredibly soft.

It made all my anxiety and confusion disappear.

(Alfons....?)

I could feel a gentle warmth at the nape of my neck.

Alfons: "Maybe you'll naturally return to your usual self by tomorrow."

Alfons: "Don't think about it... but have a nice dream tonight."

~~~

--- as soon as I woke up the next morning, I sat up and checked my limbs.

(...... oh, I'm back to normal....!)

Kate: "Hooray!"

I couldn't help but shout out in delight,

Alfons: "Ng... what's with all this ruckus so early in the morning..."

The sheet next to me stirred, and my whole body stiffened.

Kate: "Eh.... huh?"

Alfons: "Good morning, Kate. Did you have pleasant dreams last night?"

Kate: "Why are you in my bed, Alfons...?"

Alfons: "Why, you ask? Of course, it's to make sure you didn't fall off the bed and get seriously injured."

Alfons: "I'm glad you're all right."

The sound of his unexpectedly gentle voice made my heart flutter.

(Come to think of it... I feel like he showed me some pleasant illusions last night)

(Maybe he originally intended to tire me out and put me to bed...)

(Is that why he made that promise to me...?)

If the medicine worked, I'd sleep peacefully and uneventfully.

If it didn't... he'd help me escape the anxiety and sleepless night with his lewd pranks and sweet dreams.

Was this his plan to let me face the morning without worries, no matter the outcome?

(Although he's outrageous, pushy and mean...)

(...his unconventional methods might have saved me yesterday)

His smile seemed kinder than usual and I smiled back in response.

Kate: "... I see."

Kate: "Thank you for watching over me..."

Alfons: "It was just a pretext."

Alfons: "There's something I wanted to do after you woke up, in case your size returned to normal."

Kate: "... and what's that exactly?"

Alfons: "What indeed."

The bed creaked as Alfons' shadow fell over me.

(What...?)

Alfons: "We can't report whether the smaller size increases sensitivity..."

Alfons: "Without performing the same activities at the larger size and seeing a difference in response."

Kate: "Wha..."

Alfons: "Shall we do something even more indecent than yesterday?"

The joy of returning to normality faded away, and I found myself at his mercy once again.

It seemed I was destined to be swayed by Alfons ---,

The size of the body notwithstanding.

[nibblette]

And here is my top 10 TRC fics Part 2

6. There’s no place like my room.

This is a heartstring tugger. This takes place after the events of Greywaren but before the epilogue. Ronan has terrible dreams of an elderly and dying Adam and brings back Alzheimer’s disease drugs and medical equipment from his dreams. Adam is approached by the feds to join their new dreamer & dream protection. I love that Ronan has to go back to 300 Fox Way. Adam and Declan interact with each other. There’s a happy ending. Part of the ending is inspired by some Pynch fan-art from another artist.

7. In One Piece by creativefiend19

An apparently unfinished Fic but I thought it ended well enough. Another BDSM/kink fic, surprise, surprise. This one has great sex scenes that even have companion art works!

This is mostly Adam’s POV. Adam is still freaked out about the demon using him to choke Ronan. Ronan comforts him by sharing his kinky fantasies. Adam starts to wrap his mind around Ronan’s need for kink and subbing. There is a wealth of sex scenes. Adam thinks up a delightful Valentine’s Day gift for Ronan- sneaking into Aglionby’s Latin classroom to fulfill Ronan’s fantasy to have sex with Adam there. The story continues. The author makes good use of the canon “forsan er haec olim….” quote. Ronan is totally Ronan and makes a list of scenes he wants to do in Latin, lol. The fic goes on to flesh out the pre-Call Down the Hawk Pynch relationship exceedingly well. Highly recommend! The accompanying artwork by sneaky_git are fabulous as well!

8. Home to Me by Parakeats (the main story of the Time Travel AU) https://archiveofourown.org/series/1983088

This fic is so great but it’s unfinished 😭 I love it so much and I wish the author would finish it. Or at least give a synopsis of the ending. It’s an awesome story about a future, older AU Adam being sent back in time to the canon story because Cabeswater needs him. He lives in a slightly different dimension where he is married to Ronan, and his “sacrifice” was to the Greywaren himself, not Cabeswater (which is still in the future AU). Niall is still alive but sort of a villain. Younger, canon Adam is sent to the future AU with older long haired, in control of his power Ronan, but something is wrong with Matthew in this timeline.

This fic has an absolutely sexy and amazing AU of the AU companion smut Fic about younger Ronan coming on to older!Adam! older!Adam takes charge of the encounter and blows young!Ronan’s mind. Ooooo!

9. Another Lil_Redhead post Greywaren fic- ( though it’s an AU). This fic imagines a post-Greywaren-climax where Hennessy wasn’t able to grab all the little bits of Adam spirit from the sweetmetal sea and the lost part was Adam’s romantic love for Ronan. Adam goes back to Harvard quickly but Ronan is devastated. Ronan stays in Boston with Declan (and to be close-ish to Adam). Adam puts together the hints that he and Ronan were lovers, not just best friends. He finds his secret stash of Ronan porn on his phone and falls in lust and love again. This is another tear jerker but with a happy ending.

EctoImplosion 2023

Vast cold crowded silence. That's what this was. Like lying lonesome in a local lake long after the day’d gone dark. So much happening around him, so many stories to be told, and here he was floating. On, and on, and on. Comforted and aching at the same time. 

Danny was having a very strange last summer vacation.

Prologue: 

Split

It started, as most things do for Danny, with Jack and Maddie Fenton. The two had burst through the house's front door, raving about an old colleague they'd ran into again during their nightly ghost hunting: "Scotland!" they cried in unison.

"We're going to Scotland this summer!"

"We.. Are?" Danny asked worriedly.

“Well, we certainly are!" Jack replied, exploding with giddiness.

"But…" Jazz trailed off expectantly.

"Er, well, me and your mother, anyway." Jack corrected himself.

Maddie continued for her husband: "But not you, obviously, Jazz. We know you've got work and college stuff. And, well, Danny..." 

"Danny, we were thinking. This is your last summer before adulthood. Maybe-" Jack said.

"Maybe you're old enough to spend it on your own, and figure out what you want to do for yourself." Jazz finished for them with a smile.

"You.. You mean it?" He asked. 

The three nodded. "That's great!" Danny grinned.

And so his summer was set. It was gonna be an awesome couple months!

Except.

Except, when he went to tell Sam and Tucker about it:

"You're both going on college trips? But I thought you were set on MIT, and you've been there a dozen times by now!"

"Well, we were- " Sam replied, hesitantly. "But then we got these new letters, and you see..."

She sighed. "Danny, of all places, Harvard offered us a full ride."

"I know we had everything all planned out, and we wanted to tell you sooner, but-"

Danny groaned. "But you didn’t want to bum me out while we were studying for finals, this is an amazing opportunity, and I'd have to kill you both if you didn't at least think about it?" 

He couldn’t even blame them for waiting until now, because he knew he’d probably do the exact same thing in their place.

Sam smiled sadly. "Thanks Danny, love."

"And sorry, dude. Seriously." Tucker added on. 

"Hey, maybe this could be a good chance for you, though?" Sam suggested.

"Maybe you can do something just for yourself?"

“I guess so.” Danny said.

The two wrapped him in a hug.

“And hey, you can still give us plenty of ghostly visits while we’re on our trip, you know? You’re our boyfriend after all!” Tucker cheered him.

So here he was, following their collective advice. Or at least, trying to. Alone in space feeding his obsession, swallowing as many stars as could fit in his eyes. The portal was locked, the ghosts knew to leave him alone, and he had all the time he could need to try figuring out what to do with his afterlife. 

He’d planned to go to community college, hit the books hard to make up for his bad high school years, and then join Sam and Tucker at MIT. But, if his partners went off to a school as exclusive and Ivy League as Harvard? There’s no way he could make it into there, let alone afford it. And even if he could, he still had no idea what he’d do with himself after finishing college. 

Get a job in aerospace engineering so he can at least be close, only for the inevitable trouble that follows him everywhere to steal that away too? Become a professor so he can teach everyone else how to accomplish his hopes and dreams?  No. 

The human world is not built for a ghostly prince. 

Him, or his space fantasies.

thunder spoilers under the cut!!! read at your own risk!!! here are my opinions on the book!!! i wrote this right after reading originally on the 4th and planned 2 post it on the 7th. it's not the 7th exactly where i live but the wiki updated with spoilers since it's the 7th over there so whatever

okay, so, overall, i liked it. i didnt LOVE it, but i liked it. sunbeams chapters were all great, and with nightheart travelling with frostpaw, he finally had the chance to not be an ass, and he wasn't as bad! i actually read his chapters this time, and oh my god frostpaws chapters were INCREDIBLE!!!! i loved her interactions with whistlepaw and smoky, and wow. she did get spayed, LOL! got spoiled for that early (thanks, assholes!) i was NOT expecting to meet the new cats of the park! i totally thought we'd encounter warriorclan! i'm a little bummed about that, but the cats of the park were all super nice to read about which was super nice. especially bee! thought i'm upset she has the same name as another cat.. wails the reveal of splashtail i totally expected, but i'm a little surprised over curlfeather. i know that there's been suspect she was a villain, but damn! i wanted to hold onto hope! but hey, her being evil is super interesting. plus, wow! she's in the dark forest! i guess i shouldve expected that, but it's felt like forever since a cat got sent there. (which i dont think is rlly true? juniperclaw went i think that was tbc? whatever, still feels so long ago) also i didnt mind that it was a travelling book! i know a lot of ppl HATEEEE travelling books, but i think there was still enough substance to make it interesting! now, that ending... er, hard to explain my feelings. i like cliffhangers because they make me really excited for the next book, but man! this one hurt bad! i want frostpaw to jump out !!!! raugh!!! also, waffle and wasp are cute! i'm happy theyre coming to the clans! we NEED more genetic diversity SOBS and honestly, with frostpaws thoughts right before leaving the park, with the clans needing to become less harsh and fighty, and more open, especially to outsiders? that was incredible! genuinely, genuinely incredible! and i hope they go through with it, i really do! berryheart is also an interesting character. if i'm being honest, i hope she leaves. not becaues i dont like her (i think she's one of the most interesting characters we've had in the series for a long time, even if she sucks), but because like i said earlier we NEED more genetic diversity in the clans! more cats with long blood lines need to leave or die, and new cats w/o long blood lines, or none at all need to start existing. all of the incest is pissing me off. so i'm glad that somecat with not a particularly long bloodline, but a big one (berryheart has like 70 siblings) is leaving. plus those other cats. last misc things, finally, some tree action! it's a miracle! i also like how there were mentions of 1: thunderclan being overcrowded (please please please mass exctinction event GO) and 2: tree being mediator, but never really having the chance to shine. also, cherryfall sucks. jeez louise! i used to like her for gods sake! spotfur and her kits were adorable, i liked ivypool in this book, and oh my god, brambleclaw finally gets less of a spotlight! overall, i liked it. not the most amazing book to ever exist ever, but it definitely got my excited for the next books!!! really happy with ASC so far and i'm pumped to see what's going to happen with it in the future.

also, with the cats of the park cats being introduced, i'll have to draw them! oh boy more work for me to do

CrHappy New Year - Part 2 Part 1 is -> here

Soon it went dark and the party started with dinner. They didn't turn the lights on and went with candlelight to not draw any uneccessary attention on the winery. And Vlad is still wondering why Jeb is dressed like this... That's so not his style - at all...

Saiwa held a little speech about how happy they can be that they are all together again - and healthy. And that they finally found a home. And about their plans for next year. Doing anything to get Kiyoshi's absent mind out of tree mode. Get that device build by Rubyn that will be able to teleport them between their home in the Otherworld and the Muggle World. Making their crappy home a happy home. Staying together. And help other creatures where they can, now that Ji Ho and Vlad finally said 'yes' to each other and their Bond.

And then they ran around a bit because they can't stay sit even if their life depended on it... *sigh* But they all agreed how amazing Jack's Ice Wine was.

Jack: "I love you, pal." Vlad: "I know, pal."

I first thought Vlad would go over and sit with Ji Ho but he went to sit with Kiyoshi and showed him how to use this strange thing in his hand. Vlad: "That's a glass. Put it to your mouth and drink. Don't forget to spread your little finger... Exactly. Well done!"

Hahaha Ji Ho and Jack ^^'

No matter how hard the times were Jack had because of Kiyoshi, it hurts him to see Kiyoshi so lost and helpless.

After Dinner they went upstairs. Jeb and Ji Ho were chatting about Ji Ho's progress on his Siren's Songs. Other Jeb had insisted in his message that Ji Ho should continue working on them. So it must be important.

Ji Ho: "I started working on them while I was living with Genji. I'm getting better and it sounds quite good but I still struggle to influence things and persons, like my grandfather did, you know?" Jeb: "Let's hear anyway?"

Ji Ho: "Uhm... ok ^^' So I found out it's not really about composing a new song but to get into the right mindset and use a certain tone and voice." And then Ji Ho started to sing a song they all knew very well. The Misty Mountains Song from The Hobbit:

'Far over the misty mountains cold to dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day to claim our long-forgotten gold Goblets they carved there for themselves and harps of gold, where no man delves There lay they long, and many a song was sung unheard by men or elves The pines were roaring on the heights the winds was moaning in the night The fire was red, it flaming spread the trees like torches blazed with light The bells were ringing in the dale and men looked up with faces pale The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire laid low their towers and houses frail'

And even though Jack was not in his wolf, his hair on his neck stood to an end. Something felt strange. And his sensible nose cought the scent of ozone. But the song was so beautifully sung.

None of them could stop themselves from humming along with Ji Ho, just like the dwarves did with Thorin in 'The Hobbit'. And then it happened. Six little lights appeared and danced around them. It was just like magic. (In fact it actually was magic ^^')

So Ji Ho was able to influence with his voice. But it seems just his friends and just when they're all together. They'll yet have to figure what to do with this new trait.

A little while later a werewolf ran along.

Just to make sure his son and his friends are safe ;)

CIRCUS FAMILY CHAPTER 1

Sitcom AU

Circus Family is filmed in front of a live studio audience

“Welcome one and all to the house of the Circus Family!” A Strange creature with teeth and eyes for face and human body wearing a ringleader outfit flies into the air. A wire holding him up is clearly visible. “My name is Caine! I’M THE RINGLEADER AND THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY HERE AT THIS AMAZING HOUSE OF WONDERS! And here is my sidekick Bubble!” He pulls off his hat and out of it pops a round inflatable puppet. “Oh, I can’t wait to see the fam and what crazy shenanigans they are up to.” Bubble says with excitement. “Well let’s not wait any longer” Caine replies “Theme song time!”

Music cues in

Flashes of characters being goofy and laughing together begin

“I’ll be there for youuuuuu-”

“-WAIT! That’s not the right. Whoopsie! Wrong show…” Caine exclaims in embarrassment scratching his head/gums. A laugh Track plays at the goofy mishap

New music cues in with a 90s sitcom rock theme

Gangle and Zooble and Kinger too

Ragatha, Jax and there's Kaufmo, woo-hoo

Day after, day after

Day after, day after day we fly

Past the moon and the sun and we don't know why

Suddenly as they are introducing an assortment of wacky characters a young jester looking girl timidly opens the door, seemingly lost and confused. She bumps into a tall purple rabbit that looks like a guy in a mask and stilts in some sort of costume. He falls over landing on all the others causing a bunch of crash sound effects and roar of laughter from the invisible audience.

The Rabbit looks annoyed “Caine! Is this a new main character?” Caine lights up with excitement. “My my a new member of the family. Looks like today's episode is going to be called…”

A title appears out of nowhere

“Fuller house…”

The rabbit interjects “that’s taken”

“um… I mean… er… Jester Round The Family Tree!”

“Cliché” the rabbit remarks with a snicker

“Okay, Jax! Why don’t you come up with a better name on the spot next time? I’m sure you’ll be much better at it than me!” He sounds cheerful but his words indicate sarcasm, though it’s kinda hard to tell. “Huh. Maybe I will smart guy.” Jax responds. Loud laughter coming from seemingly everywhere yet nowhere shakes the building. “that wasn’t even that funny” Jax says calling out the too easily amused audience.

The newcomer was becoming frightened and confused by her new surroundings. “what’s… going on? I turned on some old TV and fell asleep and I woke up in front of this house. How did I get here? Who are you people?” A girl in a yarn wig and a long dress with fake stitches seemingly holding her together attempted to comfort her. “It’s gonna be okay. Just relax” The new girl simply screamed profanity but to her surprise it was dubbed to a different word “ WHAT THE YUCK IS GOING ON!?!” Her face froze in shock and then gave look of confusion. “Now. Now. We don’t use that foul language in my house! This is family friendly show after all” the audience laughs again.

The fearful jester spins in all directions. “Where’s that coming from?!? who’s doing that?!!?” Without anyone answering the questions she tries to get her head straight and calm down a bit. “So… how do I go home?”

Everyone becomes uncomfortable and silent until Jax speaks up. “There is no way home. You’re stuck inside a TV show” he says with very little sympathy. “What?” She responds. And that’s when a strange marionette of parts and shapes, attached to strings hanging in the air suddenly speaks. “Come on Jax. Don’t be mean.” they move up and down by the strings as they speak, parts jiggling a bit. “But he’s right. This is your new home now.”

The jester is very afraid and uncomfortable. “I know what will make you feel better… a tour of the house!” Caine decides. He lowers down on the wire as a cranking sound is heard and grabs the newcomer by the hand to drag her around just above the ground. “Here we have the kitchen! This is where you may create delicious foods as well as delicious memories.” He moves to the backyard. “here’s the yard! There’s an outdoor pool, it’s always sunny, and if you want to engage in a hobby there’s even a garden.” He drags her back through the kitchen to the living room where she first entered and up the stairs. They were now in a long hallway with lots of doors.

“this is the hallway and these are your rooms.” She notices he seems to not be continuing. “Is that it?” she asks nervously. “Well it’s not exactly a mansion but there is an attic…. We don’t go in the attic…” he got very serious for second and a bit ominous. “But, I’m sure you won’t have any reason to go up there anyway!” He beams back into his cheerful charismatic tone. He brings her back down to the living room where no one has moved. A tiny woman with a red dress and red ribbon and white costume makeup on her face resembling an opera mask cries staring down at her broken glasses on the floor. “they broke my glasses again!”. She stands next to a man in a king outfit with a fake mustache playing chess by himself on the couch. He's wrapped up in a blanket partially over his head. He moves a chess piece before abruptly swiping everything off the board. “ugh! I lost again” The laugh Track went off.

“Now to other business, like your name” Caine said pointing to the newbie. “Ughhhhh…. Wait a minute I can’t remember my name!” The audience the gasps. It was the first time they’d done something other than laugh. “No one can remember their names when they come here but we can come up with a new one for you!” suddenly the jester notices she is behind a podium seemingly on a game show. Caine is in a fancy new getup. “Alright everyone it’s time to play…” the audience finishes the sentence “WHATS MY NAME!” the title appears in bright lights. The audience applauds and cheers. “Alright contestant! Spin the wheel!” A colorful wheel with question marks on each piece stands before her. Cautiously she gives it a spin. It spins around and around until… it lands on a blue piece. That’s when the question marks turns into letters formulating the name Pomni.

“What do you think of the name Pomni?” Pomni scratches her head. ”I guess…” she replies unsure. “Great! You know what? I think now's a good time for a life lesson!” Caine announces. Pomni suddenly realizes she’s back in the living room with everyone. “Today’s life lesson will be learned… as the new kids in school! Today you will all be going to school and learning first hand what’s like to be the newbie like Pomni and Pomni will learn that she’s not alone like she thinks” Caine winks. “Wait what?” Pomni questions after that remark. “Caine now get your bags and your notebooks and your number 2 pencils cause class is in session!” the walls around them fall like cardboard and new walls rise with new furniture growing out of the ground to create a classroom. “Have a wonderful experience!” He shouts with pride before being lifted by the wire with the cranking sound going off. Slowly he rises but disappears out of sight.

Pomni’s eye twitches as she tries to process what just happened. “What was all that?” She asks. “Oh just one of Caine’s life lessons. There just something to give us a taste of real life to keep us from…. Ugh… going insane.” The woman dressed like a doll explains. “I’m Ragatha by the way. I guess we need to go experience the first day school?” the strange Marionette scoffs. “Ugh… why school? This is yucking stupid. I’m outta here” but before they could leave a large beefy child comes over with a trash can and shoves them in, carrying them away. “Ha ha!” He laughs as he runs away. “Oh no! Zooble got bullied on their first day” Ragatha gasps with concern. “Oh too bad so sad” Jax yawns not surprised when the audience found that particularly hilarious. “sheep” he coughs under his breath earning another roar of giggles and laughter.

“I just realized Kaufmo hasn’t met Pomni yet. He wasn’t here today… that’s strange. We better go check up on him. Hey Kinger! You wanna visit Kaufmo!” Kinger is no longer on a couch but in a dunce box cowering in the corner. “Not particularly. Last time I saw kaufmo he looked kind of off. He talked about going into the attic.” Pomni had wondered about the attic. “But wait! Maybe that means the attic has some way out” Pomni argues. Pomni didn’t like the way everyone stared at her like she was crazy. “Or maybe you’re as crazy as he is!” suddenly a little boy appears with a basketball and bounces it on Jax’s head. “Ha ha!” he points before running away. “alright I’d had enough of these little brats! Let’s send Gangle and Kinger to go play hero and rescue Zooble while you, me, and Pomni go check on Kaufmo” So the team was now split. Pomni was coping the best she could while wondering about the attic. Kinger and Gangle, an interesting duo, were off to stand up to some bullies, and the rest of them were navigating the halls of lockers trying to find their way back to the rooms.

“Oh my! Questions need to be answered. Will they be able to find Kaufmo? Will Kinger and Gangle be able to rescue Zooble? Will Pomni learn a valuable life lesson? Will Jax come up with a better episode name next time? Find out next time right here on Circus Family!!!” Caine salutes you goodbye for now.

Ohhh, definitely Wishful Thinking. and the story of Andy&reader.

Daily Blog June 21, 2023

Hi! Welcome to my first day of fandom blogging! I'm very excited about doing this and hope you'll join in on the conversation and really hope that you might start one of your own!!! So on that note, lets get going.

What I'm reading:

I'm currently re-reading The Changeling by @annerbhp. It's a canon rewrite of sort, with a big twist. Here's the summary: Ginny is sorted into Slytherin. It takes her seven years to figure out why. It's 182K from Ginny's POV. It does follow canon to a point. I read this about 6 months ago and I still think about it when writing Drarry. I now have to give Ginny a positive break-up with Harry. LOL No dissing her because she's such a badass in this story. While it's listed as Harry/Ginny, it really is mostly a Ginny story for the main story. There's follow on stories after this one that are fab too.

It starts with Year 1 and the house sorting. Ginny is surprisingly sorted into Slytherin. She at first thinks its a joke done by her twin brothers, but then reality sets in. Most of her family is devastated and she feels completely isolated. This is a Ginny you'll recognize from canon and then so much more. If you longed for more Slytherin background and lore than canon gave us, this you will love. And if you think Slytherin is dominated by the males...well this will give you a headcanon that you won't forget.

What I'm writing:

The Azkaban Letters, which I'm so far behind on I want to cry. It's a 2007 WIP I started right before HPDH came out. So it's canon divergent after HBP. I did edit the first 7 to be more in line with canon and post canon. My issue is I have too much in my head and too many ideas to get down on paper...er on the computer. When I stopped writing it in 2007, I had posted the first 7 chapters on The Hex Files. It came over to AO3 during the transfer and has been staring at me in the face since then. I'm now up to 16 chapters, which sounds like a lot, but there's 4 sections to the story and I'm in the middle of section 2. sigh.

Tumblr Posts of Interest:

@xanthippe74 on her blog has reposted her 2020 fic, Follow the Water in honor of summer solstice. If you have not read this fic, you are in for such a treat. Perfect summer fic. Give her post a reblog and fic some love!

@julcheninred posted on her blog yesterday that it was the 5th anniversary of Draw Drarry badly. I so love her block H/D art, and so happy we've had five years of her sharing them with us. Make sure to reblog to share the Drarry fun!

3. HDMpreg2023 has posted the reveals on A03. TWENTY fics in all. I only got to read about 1/3 of them, but whoa there are some serious gems. (If I find the Tumblr post for this, I'll add it.)

4. @lcdrarry has also posted their reveals! My apologies to the fest and authors/artists. I've only read a few this round but plan on diving into the treasure trove of Drarry. This was a new fest for me to watch when I came back to fandom. While I don't watch many movies or watch tv much anymore, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to follow/understand the stories as well as I should. I was wrong. Most I have found I could enjoy without knowing the source.

Tumblr Drarry Fic/Art Resource:

I'm guessing most of you follow @drarryspecificrecsdaily, but in case not, you should definitely follow! They post Drarry completed fics which have been posted on AO3 for the current day. I have found some amazing gems from this resource. Fics I haven't seen discussed or recced anywhere else and authors I haven't been blessed reading before.

Okay, that's it for Day 1! Hope you found something interesting. I'll be switching around the categories on a daily basis. Tomorrow, I'll be adding in Fic Rec from the way past. Feel free to comment. :)

Family Forgiveness Chapter 3 || F!Reader x Wanda Maximoff

Soooo... Another part hey? Thanks so much for reading and the amazing feedback/suggestions! Enjoy!

F!Avenger!Reader x Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch

Chapter 3: Y/N, Wanda and America try to make their family work... The whispers in Wanda's head, however, continue to get in the way

Words: 2k Warnings/Tags: Gross AF Family Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Mild Language, Wanda needing yet another hug-

Chapter 1 Chapter 2

It had been a couple days since the incident at Kamar-Taj, Wanda still hadn't forgiven herself for that. She hadn't forgiven herself for a lot of things... You and Wanda had been sitting on the sofa throughout the morning, a movie on in the background as you held her in your arms.

"Hey, mom?" America's voice broke Wanda out of her thoughts - the young girl stood in front of the couch.

"Yes?" both you and Wanda asked. The two of you looked at eachother in confusion.

You cleared your throat, "Er... which one of us are you talking to?" the pair of you sat up.

America groaned, "The cool one."

"I suddenly don't want to know which one of us is the 'cool one' because I think somebody is going to get offended..." you said, standing up from the couch.

"I'm joking," she laughed, "I just wanted to tell you guys that the student from Kamar-Taj has already recovered. It wasn't as bad as it looked," she offered a warm smile specifically towards Wanda.

"That's great," you gave her a quick hug.

"Yes. It is," Wanda sighed in relief, the tension in her shoulders was finally gone.

"Stephen said that you don't need to go back to Kamar-Taj for as long as you want," America said as she offered a hand out to Wanda, the latter took it cautiously as she was pulled up off the couch, "He wanted me to tell you that maybe you could join the students in some of the classes like I am? He thinks it might help you... Totally up to you of course!" she dropped Wanda's hand before stepping back, Wanda was quick to hide her hands in her pockets soon after.

"O-Oh?" Wanda said, slightly nervous about going back to Kamar-Taj at all.

You placed a hand on her shoulder in comfort, "I would join you too, if that would make you feel any better?"

"I'm not sure yet," she said honestly, "I think I need a little more time."

"Yeah. Take all the time you need," you smiled, leaning in to kiss her cheek.

"Ew. Gross," America scowled.

You smirked towards America before shrugging, "Oh? It's gross, is it?" you leaned even closer towards Wanda, "I best not make you feel even more uncomfortable," you said, sarcasm dripping within your words. Without warning, you quickly pulled Wanda into a deep kiss, "Oh nooo, it's so gross," you muttered in between the kiss.

"OKAY! I'm leaving!" America held up her hands before turning to head towards the kitchen.

"Don't you dare burn the kitchen down again!" Wanda managed to exclaim before she willingly returned to the kiss, she hadn't even realised that her hands had made their way to your waist.

"I'm gonna move out, I swear!"

You and Wanda laughed once the girl was out of sight.

Wanda loved this. She was starting to feel more and more at home as the days went on.

"You mean to tell me... That whilst we were in space, you guys were busy fucking with the multiverse?!" Peter exclaimed.

You nodded, leaning back in your chair, "Something like that..." Wanda was seated on a chair near your desk, you couldn't stop a frown from appearing on your face as you watched her flinch at the mention of the multiverse.

"Unbelievable!" Rocket scoffed, kicking some papers off of the desk, "We missed the good stuff!"

You had been called in by Tony to do some boring Avengers paperwork in the compound... But you suspected that it was mainly because he didn't want to deal with the return of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' himself. So it was up to you to deal with their antics.

"The multiverse," Drax scoffed, "I would've punched a hole in the multiverse if I was here. You should've called."

"I would've loved to see that!" Mantis' smile was wide, clapping at the thought of Drax somehow single-handedly destroying the multiverse.

"I'll remember the next time the multiverse comes around," you rolled your eyes, leaning down to pick up the discarded papers.

Without a word, Wanda stood up. She pushed past Mantis and headed out of the room, the latter's smile turned into a frown.

"What's up with her?" Rocket folded his arms.

"It's a long story," you sighed.

Before you could continue speaking, Mantis interrupted, "She is in pain." The group all looked at her.

You were about to question her but then you remembered. She was an empath. A much stronger one than you, that's for sure.

"So sad," Mantis continued, "And yet, so angry."

Nebula added, "She is filled with rage. I could see it in her eyes."

Clearing your throat, you stood up, "She kind of... went through the multiverse to find something she wanted. And she did things she isn't proud of. It's not really my place to give you the details."

You quickly excused yourself, leaving a bunch of confused Guardians behind you.

Wanda's eyes glowed a flaming red, burn marks scattered the walls of her room. She flicked her hand to release another burst of magic, it managed to smash one of the lights on the wall. The anger growing within Wanda had to come out some way... This wasn't the first time she had used her magic as an outlet.

A knock at the door caused Wanda to flinch, her red eyes couldn't stop filling with tears at the thought of you catching her using magic like this.

"Wands?"

"Go away, Y/N," you could clearly tell that she was beyond angry.

"You know I'm not going anywhere, Wanda!"

A groan escaped Wanda as she felt the magic flow through her arms. The whispers in her head telling her to give up and release her powers. She glanced down at her hands, the anger growing.

"Multiverse, multiverse, multiverse..." Wanda repeated the words in her head. You and the Guardians constantly talking about it. It was becoming too much. This time her magic hit the table, effectively cutting it in half. She sat on the edge of her bed as she buried her head in her hands, the tears slipped through her darkened fingers.

"I SHALL DESTROY ANYTHING THAT GETS IN YOUR WAY, Y/N!" Drax exclaimed, the door suddenly flung off its hinges. Wanda barely reacted, her eyes screwed shut as the whispers grew louder.

"I didn't want you to completely destroy the door!" you complained, pushing past him. You thanked him anyway as he turned to leave you in peace, a proud smile on his face. You stopped in your path as you noticed your surroundings. The room had an eerie feel to it. The walls were covered in burn marks, some old and some new. The carpet was burnt to a crisp and numerous pieces of furniture were pretty much destroyed. The only light in the room came from a certain witch's head.

You gulped as you looked at the glowing headpiece that was on top of Wanda's head. It was a bright red and almost see-through.

"Please go away," Wanda whispered, not looking up, "I don't want to hurt you."

Not listening to her, you stepped closer towards the bed, "You won't hurt me, Wanda. I know you won't."

"But what if I do?" her voice cracked as she finally looked up to see you, her eyes glowing. You hadn't seen them this red in a long time.

You kneeled down on the floor in front of her and took her hands in yours. Almost immediately, the headpiece disappeared and her eyes returned to green, "You won't," you said again, reaching one of your hands up to wipe the tears away from her cheek, "I trust you."

She clenched her eyes shut again, "My head-"

"I know," you sighed, tightly holding her hands in yours again. You felt the sadness growing within her, but the anger was slowly dying down, thankfully.

You stood up and sat next to her on the edge of the damaged bed, your arm came up around her shoulders. She happily leaned her head against your shoulder, enjoying the closeness. You allowed her to take deep breaths as she did her best to calm down, her arms came up to wrap around your middle to make sure you weren't going anywhere.

"Don't leave, detka," she pleaded, "I know I told you to go away. But I really don't want you to."

"I'm not going anywhere. I promise," you knew that deep down she was afraid of what she was capable of, you knew she was scared of losing control and hurting you. You looked around her room, biting your lip as you eyed the damages, "We'll get this place cleaned up a bit and head back home. Tony will understand."

Wanda's eyes were now closed in content. She felt safe with you around.

A knock on the wall caused you to look up, Wanda didn't dare look herself.

"I retrieved the girl as you requested, miss Y/N," Mantis nodded, stepping to the side to allow America into the room. You felt Wanda tense up next to you once she realised who the girl was.

"Thanks, Mantis," you said before Mantis walked back down the hall.

"Why did you ask America to come?" Wanda whispered as she opened her eyes to look up at you, they were still glossy with tears.

"Because we're family and we're going through this together," you explained, you moved away from her despite her protests.

America came closer and held out her arms, "We're in this together," she smiled at her. Wanda stood up and accepted the hug, her heart racing. She held her tighter as more warm tears trickled down her cheeks. You smiled sadly at the sight.

"Thank you, America," she sighed, not quite believing that she did in fact have a family.

"Don't mention it. Still gotta work on forgiving yourself, hey?"

You stood up and began to take off the bedsheets, they definitely needed a bit of a clean after Wanda's outburst of magic. You were about to 

That was when you heard America whisper, "I meant it when I said you were the cool mom."

Scoffing, you threw a pillow at the girl causing her to pull away from her hug with Wanda, "I knew it," you glared at the two.

"It's not my fault she has awesome powers!"

"I-I have awesome powers, too!" you stammered.

"Oh, yeah?" America raised an eyebrow, folding her arms, "I can travel the multiverse by choice. Wanda can fly, make things out of thin air, look like a badass in fights and-"

"Okay, okay, I get it!" you rolled your eyes.

Wanda couldn’t stop the smile from appearing on her face upon hearing that America actually liked her magic. She let out a small giggle as she watched you try to justify your 'powers'. She already felt much better. It was strange... But the anger and sadness within her seemed to always disappear when she made contact with you.

"Isn't that Mantis girl an actual empath?" America questioned, cocking her head to the side.

"Y-Yes, but-!"

Despite being a much weaker empath, Wanda knew that you had a power that nobody else did.

The power to make the whispers go away.

For the behind-the-scenes fic asks, could I get 12, 24, and 25 for The Almosts pretty please? I'm so insanely curious

heheheh aw man, any chance i get to rant and rave about t(a), you KNOW i'm gonna take it!! ;)c

12. Was there a scene you wished you could have included? Why didn't it fit in?

mmmmmmmmm this one's tricky. i wouldn't say there were any scenes that i wished hadn't ended up on the cutting room floor in the end (as the wordcount will attest, pffffft), but there are definitely some that i had sort of imagined going differently when first planning/setting about writing, and that ended up significantly different when all was said and done.

the two that come most readily to mind are: (1) the whole reason i had sam's dad scott be an er nurse was because i fully intended on him being the one letting her know about josh's hospitalization, and then there being a very, very awkward confrontation with chris about it later; and (2) the fight in ch17 was actually going to be, uhhhhhh worse, hahahaha. in the end, i decided i wasn't really feeling the direction of those decisions, and so ended up changing them. i for sure wouldn't say i regret that, though, or that i wish i'd stuck with my original plan, but i do think they could've changed the overall vibe of the story significantly.

EDIT: I AM A FOOL! THERE WAS A SCENE I WISH I COULD'VE INCLUDED, AND THAT WAS SAM AND ASHLEY GOING FULL PARENT TRAP ON THEIR PARENTS TO GET THEM TO DATE SDKLFJLKSJDFKLJSDF hahahaha, not exactly an important part of the story, nor a necessary one, but........i had plans for scott giddings and jamie brown, oh yes i did. oh yes i did. hehe.

24. Did you write every scene in order? What was the first scene you wrote, and what was the last?

god no, oh jesus, oh no. nonononono. i am like, pathologically incapable of writing things in order. i WISH i had that sort of discipline, my gosh. hilariously, the first scene i wrote was...well, okay, yeah, the first scene of the fic!!! hannah and sam having a little chat before The Big Party, but after that, all bets were off, babyyyyyyyyy. i jumped around.....everywhere, and the one thing i remember most about writing t(a) is that i was, at ALL times, actively working on 3 chapters. nightmarish. don't recommend it. absolutely the only way i found i could get my brain to work XD the last scene i wrote.....man, was josh and hill in that last session. everything after that had already been written, it was all set in stone, but that last session, man...that one took me.......a long time to write, hahaha.

25. Is there anything you would change now about this fic? Why or why not?

so, here's the thing. i feel like it's really easy to look back on an artistic endeavor and pick out all the stuff you don't dig about the final result. i have, in all honesty, not gone back and FULLY reread t(a) start-to-finish since finishing it BECAUSE of that. i am positive that if i really sat down and looked at it with a magnifying glass, yeah, there are some things i'd change - pieces i'd get rid of, segments i'd rework, commas i would delete by the dozens.................

but at the end of the day, t(a) is, was, and always will be my baby, something that not only served as my first step into the ud fandom, but something that introduced me to so many AMAZING people - writers and artists and readers and editors and gifmakers and not-so-silent lurkers all - and so looking at it and thinking about the things i'd change doesn't really occur to me. it is what it is, and i'm very happy to leave it as is :) <3

that being said, i would've loved to format some of the...stuff in the ending where they (starve) in a more house of leaves sort of way, but ao3 proved pretty tricky for that, alas!

behind-the-scenes fic asks!

#cryptidmak #asks #the almosts #queenie writes supermassive #<3333333 omg thank you so much for the ask!!! 😭 #i've been thinkin about t(a) so much lately so this was such a nice lil dip back into that universe laksjdflkjs

Poltergeist Chapter 11

Arashi: [ Once upon a time, there lived a Princess with a very beautiful heart.  Of course, she was not only beautiful on the inside, but in her outward appearance too,… … and the name of this Princess was Narukami Arashi. ]

Scenario Writer: Akira Season: Winter Characters: Mikejima Madara, Narukami Arashi, Sakasaki Natsume, Aoba Tsumugi

< The video: Early afternoon that day. In the Common Room at Dancing Cranes Home. >

Arashi: [ Once upon a time, there lived a Princess with a very beautiful heart. 

Of course, she was not only beautiful on the inside, but in her outward appearance too,… … and the name of this Princess was Narukami Arashi. ]

Arashi: [ However, there was someone who did not like the Princess at all. That person was the Queen of the country, who had a beautiful appearance but possessed an ugly and twisted heart. 

—Hmm? The Queen’s name? Well, for now, let’s call her Madara ♪

And although the Queen was the stepmother of the beautiful Princess, there was no familial love between them—

—because the black-hearted Queen was wildly jealous of her step-daughter’s great beauty.

Today, as she always did, the Queen asked of her magic mirror which only reflects the truth—

“Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?”

—Eh? You’re saying that would be Narukami Arashi?

Grrr~! So infuriating! If only that person weren’t here, I would surely be the most beautiful in the whole wide world! ]

Arashi: [ That’s it, I should get rid of that beautiful Narukami Arashi! Then, I will be the most beautiful person in the world! MA~MAMAMAMAMA! (1) (Laughter) ]

Tsumugi: What an interesting story! It’s full of openings for a straight man (2) to interact with!

Natsume: SeriousLY? How can you lie to the children like thIS? What’s this about the Princess’ name being Narukami Arashi?

Arashi: Hmph! That’s fine, isn’t it! Fairy tales are for living your dreams, aren’t they! I want to be a Princess too!

Natsume: WeLL, I do understand how you feEL, but won’t the children be confused to hear you’re playing the Princess roLE?

Arashi: Hold on! Why would that result in any confusion, is there a law that says a Princess must be female?! What does it matter anyway; fairy tales are fantasies, after all!

Madara: Urm. By the way, why am I laughing like that humongous character in One P*ece (1)? That’s a reeeally strange character to be portraying me as, isn’t it?

Arashi: Fufu! While I was reading the manga, the thought, “Ah, this person is just like Mama” went through my mind!

Madara: All the same, I’m not that huge either, am I?

Arashi: Ohh seriously, that’s enough. Stop interrupting and watch quietly!

Arashi: Erm, actually... One of the reasons I’m showing you guys this segment of the video was because I wanted to showcase how especially charming I was as I read the picture book to the children. However—

—There’s another reason as to why I want you to see this. 

Somehow, as I was reading the picture book to the children, some of them had very strange reactions to the story… …

Madara: Huh? Strange reactions—? 

Arashi: Yes. I mentioned encountering an “unusual incident” earlier, didn’t I? 

By the way, you might have already guessed it by now, but the title of the fairy tale I was reading to the children was “Snow White”. 

There were a few pages missing in the picture book for some reason, so I improvised by doing up a few sketches and adding them in. 

Look, this scene in particular is my favourite—

The scene where Narukami Arashi, with the seven cute dwarves—Sorry, I mean the four foolish Knights—repel the assassins dispatched by the evil Queen together ♪

Natsume: That’s amaziNG. You’re casually altering the plot of the story as you pleaSE. 

Madara: Er, how can you just get rid of the assassins sooo easily? The story would just end there, wouldn't it?

Arashi: That doesn’t matter~, the ending’s the only part that needs to make sense in the end—No, in fact all will be well as long as the story ends well.

Most people will be satisfied as long as the story ends with—”And they all lived happily ever after.”

Tsumugi: Indeed. That much is true. 

Madara: But then, what about the strange reactions you mentioned the children having earlier? Right now, the only thing I find odd is how they’re able to listen to this story so attentively to the very end, though?

Arashi: That’s what’s coming up next. See, it’s the last scene of the most beautiful Princess in the world, Narukami Arashi’s—or rather Snow White’s—story now. It seems this picture book is pretty faithful to the original, truly scary “dark fairy tales” because—

The Princess made the Queen dance on a scorching hot iron plate as revenge for all the terrible things she had done. 

It’s meant to be a satisfying scene where good triumphs over evil, and the evil villain gets their just desserts, right?

Arashi: However, as I was enthusiastically reading that scene out loud, several of the children started crying—

—and they definitely weren't tears of joy.

Arashi: They weren’t quietly sobbing either. They started shrieking loudly all of a sudden, as if possessed by demons, or evil spirits—

Some of the children even started throwing up uncontrollably.

I was at a total loss for what to do—I almost started crying myself.

Fortunately, one of the staff came hurrying over right away and soothed the agitated children, calming them down.

Natsume: OhHH? How impressiVE. I guess that’s a genuine professional childcare worker for yOU. 

Tsumugi: Hmm~. Getting children to stop crying once they start is no easy task, though… …

Arashi: No. The children’s crying stopped instantly. It seemed as if a magic spell had been cast on them.

Natsume: … … Could it be the children were administered an inhalant sedatiVE?

Arashi: No, it didn’t seem like that at all.

Looking back on it now, the method of it was really baffling, though… …

That staff worker simply went around whispering something into the children’s ears, but they recovered and stopped crying immediately. 

What was that all about, I wonder? With everything that’s happened, and now, the children’s strange reactions—there’s definitely something odd going on here. 

Madara: Hmmm… … Can I just ask—were all the children in the room crying at the same time when the tears started? 

Arashi: Why are you asking about that? If I think back on it though, among the children… … I recall it seemed to be the older kids who started crying first—?

Up until that moment, they had been behaving very maturely, in a manner way beyond their years, which was why their reaction came as such a sudden shock to me. 

The younger ones must’ve felt the same way too, and started to panic and cry themselves when they saw the older children cry—

—And they were the ones who continued crying for a long time after, for some reason. 

Madara: Hmmm. I see. A great deal is starting to fall into place nowww. 

Tsumugi: Oh my… …? Do you have any idea about what transpired during that strange event, Mikejima-kun? 

Madara: Well, there’re some things which seem reeeally odd to me, which is why I’m just inquiring casually about them. 

I’ll start looking into the situation more closely tomorrow, taking into account what I’ve heard from Arashi-san. 

Indeed. This is only just a ‘hunch’ of mine, but—

—there’s a possibility an unbelievably tragic incident or accident might have taken place in the history of that Dancing Cranes Home.

Translator’s Notes:

Arashi is mimicking the laugh of Charlotte LinLin, https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Charlotte_Linlin/Abilities_and_Powers a OnePiece character with tremendous strength and endurance. Her nickname is Big Mom (Biggu Mamu, haha), and her height is 8.80m (28 feet 10 inches) tall. 

Tsumugi says “tsukkomi” which comes from “boke and tsukkomi” or “Wise Guy and Straight Man” of the Japanese comedic duo routine known as “Manzai” (漫才) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai

New Dog's Life chapter today! ~ 3rd Life series fan-season

Chapter 23 - “Cooldown (Pearl, Lizzie, Mumbo, Scott)”

❤️ Read on AO3

💛 Start from Chapter 1

💚 More Pixels Imperfect fics

---

Pearl puts research into camera accounts and brings home books for her nonexistent roommate, EthoCam… Er, Rhetoric. Lizzie and Joel enjoy date night. Mumbo collapses in bed after an exhausting break-up. Scott puts on his ambassador hat, entertains the Fox Dragon, and reviews a fey contract with a peculiar white-eyed man.

(First 1,000 words under the cut)

---

PearlescentMoon - Bat

Status: Reflective

Venue manager, event coordinator, and seasonal business owner

💙  🧡  💚

When Pearl lets herself through the door, the whole flat is quiet. From the pale smell, nothing's cooking in the furnace. But then, he can't, can he? Then he'd be burning my charcoal. She dropped by the library tonight and borrowed a book on soul twins who never became official camera accounts. That should subtly break down the Yes and Nos of what Rhetoric can do. All the librarian villagers were happy to help. She even ran into Gem, which was a surprise. Gem's eyes lit straight up.

"You're back! Hope you had a good time. And how's Impulse? Is he better than he was after last week?"

"He's all right, I think. Had a rough go of it mid-session, but he said he'd share the story on movie night."

"Oh, that's good. I've been worried more than I need to be; I want to smack him. Hey, I'm on snacks tomorrow, right? I'm thinking popcorn balls."

"Popcorn balls sound amazing, actually. I'll make sure I'm stocked up on butter."

"How d'you feel about two movies back to back? I found one I'm DYING to show you guys."

Now the soul-twin book rests in the bag at her waist, hidden by the black cloak that marks her uninterested in the courtship events of the night. Pearl moves through the flat's entryway, glancing left and right. All the lights are off. Can Rhetoric turn on lights?

I didn't even think about that when I went out. Oh, this is a toughie… She didn't bring back any treats on purpose, not wanting to offend him. She did pick up a random book on folk tales and another on hybrid biology. These, she leaves on the kitchen counter. As a museum curator, maybe Rhetoric considers himself a historian and potential expert on both these subjects.

Maybe he'll scoff. But according to the patient librarians, account-less soul-twins can hold books and turn their pages just fine. They just can't write in them because it would update the book, and they can't rip out the pages because it would create paper. If you're account-less, you can't update blocks.

That's the word, by the way. Soul-twins… She never actually knew that. She's always just called them "cameras." Did you know you can be account-less as the player, and it can be the camera twin who gets most of the creator bleed and activity levels?

It's not common, but apparently true. It happens on occasion if the same creator is juggling three or more accounts at a time and largely uses that third one for spectating right at the start in those early days. Traditionally, the first account to sync goes to the player soul. The second sync goes to their soul-twin, whether they're often on spectator mode or not. The third can be a coin-flip as a completely new pair of souls is spawned in, syncing up to an already established Minecraft player who may actually prefer spectating this time around.

Food for thought. I wonder if Moo's ever been bugged when I've called her a camera. Maybe I should ask if I can meet up with some of her friends. Maybe we can all do a Q&A night. You could write a paper on this stuff.

… or a book, evidently. Pearl checks the signed name again. Pixlriffs. Of course it is.

If this is insightful, I'll have to drop something off to thank him. But she'll wait until the full moon's faded out so he won't get the wrong idea.

Pearl leaves the books she got for Rhetoric at the end of the counter, next to the bar stool she drapes her Not Courting cloak over. She'll hang it properly some other time. For now, she wants to set the scene: I'm not trying to come on too strong. I just happened to leave a few books here, that are mine, and when I'm away, nothing's stopping you from taking a little looksie at them.

When she turns around, she catches her new roommate standing out on the balcony, one elbow on the rail. Did he open that door? Did she leave it open? He gazes into the courtyard below, swishing his tail back and forth against his heels. It stiffens when she creaks the door open. "Don't talk to me," he mutters, not turning around.

"Right, I won't- Not for no reason, now. Still, I have some housekeeping things we should go over."

Rhetoric's tail twitches again. "No. That can wait. Literally, don't talk to me. I was getting fresh air. As fresh as you can get under bedrock, anyway. Now that you've returned, I'll stay in my room and keep my head down, but it's a full moon tonight. I don't technically exist, but I'm still a hybrid. Give me space."

"Okay," Pearl concedes. There are seven fox ambiance defaults: burrowing, hunting, napping, courtship, marking territory, playing, and stealing. On top of that, the urge to flee from players is a legit part of their coding. Rhetoric's maybe or maybe not feeling courtship tugs, and neither of them wants to deal with that. If it's not courtship, that urge to find his own private space is probably gnawing at his spine. She's not giving up on him, but she'll wait until he's less prickly.

Pearl returns to the kitchen and starts prepping a mixing bowl. Rhetoric's ears snap up. He turns his head. He has gray eyes. They're dull from lack of color, but almost puzzled or wary when he studies her from across the room. He says, "You're an anivore, right?"

"Just a little bit- I'm a partial anivore. I need code to keep my energy up, but I actually can eat other foods without feeling sick. My diet's still restricted." He doesn't look away, so she doesn't stop talking. She barely looks at him, though. "I know fox hybrids can change color between white and ginger when they respawn. My friend Grian's a parrot and they're the same way- the soul spawner might spit them out with different feather colors than what they had before, based on RNG. We bats are like that. Right now, I'm a vampire bat. I used to be a fruit bat when I was first spawned. The type of food that actually refills my hunger meter shifts between respawns, but my stomach can digest all of them."

"So you're an omnivore."

"Well. Yeah, I guess so."

Rhetoric folds his ears flat against his night-black hair. "I don't have proper code. I'm not real."

"Nah, I don't nip much off other people. I barely need any, see; I nip my own code." Pearl lifts her arm, gesturing to the space between her sleeve hem and her hand for emphasis. "Tastes like macaroni and marshmallow right here at the edge." For the sake of it, she doesn't ask if he's ever tasted code before. Probably not. She pauses for breath anyway so he can have his chance to speak.

"That's… disgusting." Rhetoric waves his tail for a second, keeping it low, then almost rotates full around to talk to her. "I had a visitor today."

"What?"

"Some phantom wearing green. Yellow hair. Black bandana. He didn't give his name, but I found him rather rude. I'm half tempted to report him for harassment."

Martyn. Pearl's instinct is to volunteer the name, though she catches herself and hesitates just before she can. "Oh. I'm sorry he bothered you. Was he hunting? Maybe he clocked you as not having slept… ever."

Rhetoric shrugs, dismissing her thin attempt at comfort. "He broke in. I'd talk to Scott about upgrading your security, if I were you."

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 39 - Missing Scenes Part I
