I was looking at the water
Pápa said sin come look out we've got visitors at Samsoy i couldn't believe it men! for the first time! visiting what had happened they looked unwell
Have you been through soemthing whats going
on one of our men saw a ghost but also a seamonster on the lower half

Anyway i hate you see them like that its true but theyren ot liek that all the time

But iwas still friends with Reynir

my nan did not take no for an answer
It had worked the pain stopped i felt nauseous
i laid in bed for three days afterwards unable to move
i was safe but was i
its not just physically my soul felt different
as if i had changed
Lárpur came running
Hei Hæ dEiki

:)
Can you not understand leave me alone i had never shown such outburst before totally out of my charachter i screamed with the force of mountains moving i had scared myself
its ok relax no leave i said and as i stood up the books came odwn the shell and an earthquake
but it wasnt just any i had made it
i knew it
my grandma said i was sick and would ask the next ferry to sail me to Iceland or south to Orkney
i was too sick
no ill stay in Samsoy i insisted
and that was that
just a small herb and youll feel better tomorrow said the doctor ater giving mr some mild oatmeal and some seaweed
that would help
it does Lárvhús Eiki
Eiki just Eiki
right
Tópas

ok
its true sugar made me moody
i gotta go i had felt the change happening i ran out i had never ran so fast not even when i was a kid
some boys were playing football one kid shot the ball to me and i couldn't take it damn stupid kids cut it out i sad and as soon as i did Lava came out ogf my mouth
Neijjjj
one kid cried
you're a monster
fuck
i truly was
i vomited seagulls eggs
what had i become
my anxiety rose within me i cant believe it i was me one week ago and now i was this?!?!
Nooo
Its cool Ína said i know of a place where youll be safe from all the people at Samsoy yeah all 300 of them
No 301
Andrekur moved in again after his stay North to Iceland
Andrekur knows of a place you could stay this school for people in East Iceland inside of a mountain underneath Lava fields the ferry to Iceland leaves tomorrow youll go
and what about you

Ína was my everything
You could come with me

How long til they would realize
Not long Eiki
i've always wanted to be a vampire and now is my change
but can you
yes
and so she did
she joined the vampire group at school consisted of well vampires and one Dracula who is a vampire but he's DRACULA firstly! Yes the Dracula'S DESCENDANT PRETTY HOT
We at Samsoy
youre icelandic now
debateable
half of our descendants of Samoy were Icelandic so
and of Norweigan Schottish and danish descendants
and blood or not we were really Icelandic in many ways had everything except the fuglavarpid a sport where the bird is a football
hes dead btw
still sadistic to use his body like that its basicly like football with a stuf fy ou catch stuff with and a string you use to grab literally some extra points if you grap him in the air
but you kick him like a football too
it is so easyyy sportlol
oh and we had Sigurpúða líka sykurðuði icelandic for marshmellow but more sugar in it
We will play Fuglvarpið but you better not beat me up sport said Hafnes
and Drágknir fine but Lorensiaco and Atli just Atli
will step up ok
ok
so it began the game went smoothly the wind was all in our hair
but somethign was off
a squuirrel came running down and bit me that bastard he ran fast faster than me and that says a lot no seriously!
and before he jumped suicided down A cliff i caught him looked down and saw a boy with no ordinary eyes
but i was at monster school so how ordinary just walkign throught the volcano part of the entrance was a normal entrance for everybody rirght nad totalay not hot rhere but it was like me at night
Ína true that
Anyway i looked down are you ok
He looked happy too happy for an elf human elf
elf human he was part elf part human
I am godthur
eg heiti Svergir
said he in a weird elfish voice
No just kidding with you he said in a Icelandic voice
Is it true your folks saved Hnjúkabanir
the most savage of all the criminals who had turned this land into an Ice out of fit of rage and to show off
yEAH
BUT WE CAN ALSO DO MAGIC
I CAN SHOW YOU
i dont want you spells
magiclab oy isaid
this is what Ína mustve felt at downtown bar after some guys hit on her or totally not
I stood my the Mirror Svergir next to me
Reynir is real you know
No he is not i made him up
that's what you think he is real is aguest here but was banned from the human word partially
why
for not liking a lobster
wannt to ask but Neijj
anyway you can bring him alive by Thinking about Ice and make it into your hand i tried and desperatly failed i got angru and the earth shook beneath me
i fell down my heart beating sure it was the end i screamed back of Brundswick
He was my nemesis so no hate
I couldnt believe iit i fell into another world the earth crumbled s i walked to her
It was aprincess
she came to me in my dream one time she was there what the frick frack frog-gggg
you must be new anyway dont be scared solve this' and a lava came running through the ice devouring it and i was standing on a rock jump across if you want to live
i cant
you can more thhan your heart thinks she said alughingly and disappeared
ok i can i said and saw Ína standing there sleeping she did not reply
Ína i called out to her again
she was under a spell
i hated she was human
so easy to cast spell on
and manipulae although they are oone vile creautures
as am i i am still even though im a monster
pardon my english
anyway
I jumped and heard i drop sound clock was ticking one step and its over but if i make it into each step the drop i will hear the sound will make other people come alive people who should be like Reynir i had to jump for Ína and me i had to make it
but it grew more difficult each step i had to be calm the cliff was narrow
and well i didin't want to die here so i thought long and hard into changing into wolf to get there faster or would it be a hindrance i recided the Samsoyan poem
"Fari tú hittkir nedr
med Várum skald du Lif
hafir hafid tekur thu
undir heiminn blán ogv djupgvan"
Basicly if you go down you will die with (Várum) the devils if you don't have the world under you are part of it show it the same attention you wish to recieve think of the ocean all part of life every fish under the same blue sea swimming noticing it
So good i was calm
i was noticing the sea the life under me, and the sea came flooding over the lava saving me but almost drowning me i climbed it the sea turned into a rope and i walked on the lava using the sea as my robe
as long as i held on to the sea robe i couldn't sense the lava under me i mustn't let go of it but my arms were sweaty i waas almost there btu i felt the rope slipping from my hands
i coulnd't make it i thoughht but i narrowly escaped by jumping and i was me again a kid in the air jumping cliff from cliff feeling so alive whilste doing the most deadliest thing
world huh
anyway there was Ína
My sweetheart
Claukwick a drop from a plant that has the rays of sunset in it
My Clauckwick wake up
She was still as a sto ne
i felt my heart freeze inside me
What can i do
i coldn't breathe and then i remebered my nan's face saying whistle and thy laugh whistle for someone and thy'll come alive
and i did
she woke up but my whistle was a key off which put her in a weird state emotionally
Ína have you been at sea
that was our song and instead of her replying Yes i haveth
she said the sea i amthe mo sters and everything that lurks underneath
she atacked me
i bit scratch but she was too strong she towered over me and i thought even though she would kill me atlekast id die happy seeing her even like this
but i couldn't i hat Lárp and my little borther at homeand talk to Reynir what its like to be human after 10000 years of being stuck there
i arose and pushed her in the fire and she was gone i was safe but heartbroken my one love what had i done
you can bring her back she said
but only by means of love bellieve magic and money
right i cant pay you
dont worry boy i can use you in my project with the elfs and mORDS Up in that mountain what was going on there or youll see
up i went it was dark couldnt breathe coal in the air angry sad faces i could sensethe sorrow
you must choose each day whom of your team tosacrifise
depending on how well he answerds a question if he is worthy of saving
iif you survive it youll get money
which half of you can keep and pay me half so i dont kill you
dont think of me as evil we cant live all for eternity althoough in theory we could
she slammed the door
Jæja Eiki
it had begun
answer me this
what is dark
lays in the shadow
but bright as the soon
and can be seen during the day
remeber if you answer wrong death by snakes or snake dragon

Ína must i said i felt drowsy come hiccup he was not gonna change my view i heard her voice calling so soft so smooth she must come alive i said and as soon as i did the wind brought her back she fell from the sky the fall was long Eiki standing therre with a retro guy on a horse what i thought as Eiki caught me deadhand what a normal entrance he said what a jokster but i loved him for it i leaned in for a kiss
the whole word came together but as soon as i kissed him i regreted it i had turned into his monster No how was our baby gonna turn out i had become pregnant with his child in the sky i wasnt sure if it happened but it did he was there but not at the same time
We'll raise it as human yeha our anger is stronger than those of the humans but it will be ok i said
72 months later the child was here born into the night taking it first breathe as the sun shone
Night and Day Dight will be your name
and we joined hands and went into the sea to be with our people we didin't need the human school who taught monster subjects and being monster in a human world and half human was too daughting icould see my kids life in a lifetime in my eyes which felt like second him taking his anger out on bird loving having it to take his anger out on hating he had loved it becoming that monster being shocked being angry driving with force of fuck it all i was so done with it his agony of contempplating a suffering life vs no life at all the sea would be our ccraddle our new home plus much lower taxes at sea levels

Can you do a directors cut for they pay me a golden treasure?
hi! this has been in my ask box for like two weeks! i'm so sorry! my brain broke and i forgot how to think about things!
i'm glad you asked for this one, thank you so much 🙏 i'd had the first ~500 words of this sitting in a google doc for so long -- i was originally thinking of posting after i finished slip and fall season. but then my brain did that thing where i wanted everything to be exactly perfect and i kept working and overworking the first few paragraphs until way too much gluten had formed in the dough and it was chewy and terrible.
but then i took a step back and just tried to write a thing that captured all the little interesting ideas i wanted to include, and that helped me get the ball rolling.
commentary below! 💖
Two points of pressure weigh down his shoulders, as heavy as the bags of cash had been—heavier, even. It feels like he has two hands locked on either side of his neck. He can feel the man who owns the hands standing behind him, and he can hear the echo of the word wife.
this idea was one of the first things that made me want to write this oneshot -- linking this physical sensation of carrying the bags with this metaphorical way he feels lalo's control over him.
He swallows. His mouth is tacky with a sugary layer of Gatorade.
i wanted the whole thing to hopefully be SUPER sensory and way deep in jimmy's head. and this is the kinda shit that takes me longer than it should to remember. sometimes i have to just sit and think through every part of my body as if i'm in that situation and see if anything good leaps out.
He’s just standing there outside the apartment and his arms are so heavy and his shoulders are so heavy and his head is so heavy he feels as if he’s going to fall right through the ground, as if he’s going to plummet into the earth before she can even open the door.
this is one of the sentences that previously died to being overworked. i kept changing it and changing it until eventually i looked back at my very first version, which was more brainstormy note than intended prose, and i thought it was better than anything else i'd managed. so i used that!
There’s a bang and his eyes snap open. The door is widening to a square of light and his hands are in front of his chest, curling into balls.
this part is a reverse of the previous example, though! here i kept an earlier version for a while, something that started like "The door opens with a bang etc etc" and then i realised it DID need more work, it needed to be more in jimmy's head and not tell the reader exactly what was happening in the first three words.
A square of light—sand and sky and space blankets—and then she’s there, silhouetted against the white, and he takes— —one step, then the next, then the next— —through the bright doorway.
fuckin' love an em dash, mate
His legs, having delivered him here, to this final glowing space, give up.
another one of the ideas i was very excited about for this one-shot was comparing kim to the golden glowstick he holds that night in the desert! i always think about it when i watch that scene!
here's my first shot at making the comparison -- this final glowing space. for a while i wanted to include the memory of him holding that glowstick right here, so that people might link it with him holding her in the entryway, but it didn't work with the pace.
Her voice sounds like it’s coming down a long phone line, traveling through thousands and thousands of copper-lined miles. Crackling and cracking.
i'm a self indulgent lil shit so i put some references to my other fic in here. hopefully if youve read acb, this specific description makes you think of baby kim and jimmy talking softly on the phone at night.
Kim’s fingers are razors in his hair, crushing his head close against her shoulder.
another metaphor from early acb used here, which in itself is a reference to a song by the national, of course. all my fics are just a bunch of national songs stacked inside a trenchcoat
As soon as his chest touches hers, he’s clawing with tight fists at her back, holding her faster and faster, like he’s scrabbling for purchase over screaming dirt
i loved the idea of drawing all these parallels between the desert experience and his experience here. it makes me think of the split-screen opening. jimmy's dry tongue sticking to his mouth is like him trying to say the first part of kim's name. the way he hugs her is like the way he scrambles towards the esteem.
it's all entwined forever now.
From down the long crackling line, she says his name again. Jimmy. He almost can’t hear it. Jimmy.
god, i'm such a writing nerd and i love thinking about writing so much and it's like -- what does not having his name in speech marks add here? in my head it adds so much. is it real, is she really saying it? is he just thinking it? yet he says he almost can't hear it. somehow not having the speech marks also makes it feel far away to me. intangible. if she's really saying it, it doesn't feel real anymore.
i love writing!!!!
“Hey,” Kim says, her voice quiet, her eyes locked on his. The dry skin on his lips stretches with his smile. “Hey.”
would die for these two softly exchanging "hey"s.
It’s good to be close because he knows there’s something horrible trapped between their chests. Something he can feel running warmly down his white and unblemished t-shirt.
jimmy brushing his hand over the spot as they sit together on the sofa.
Like he’s something that might burn her, or something that might break. Or both—like he’s fragile and electrified.
i kind of want to do more with this duality at some point. i think they both feel this about the other. that they could burn them or be burned by them.
He wants her to cradle his cheeks the same way she always does, or stroke her thumbs over his mouth, or curl her fingers around his ears, but she doesn’t. She just holds him in her fingertips. Like water in her hands, he thinks.
more of that wild self-indulgency, but god i couldnt resist linking this moment with the first time they makeout in acb:
"Then she pulls back, breathing heavily, looking down at him. She frames his face with her hands. Gasping for breath, staring up at Kim from between her palms, Jimmy feels like she’s the only thing holding him together. Like he’s water in her hands."
the only thing holding him together.
the ", he thinks." i added in the one-shot makes me feel like jimmy's making the link too, not just me as the writer.
The apartment smells of smoke. Another thing he’s dragged with him over the threshold from the desert: one hundred thousand dollars in cash and the word wife and the smell of dust burning beneath a high sun.
of course, it smells of smoke because kim's been smoking inside, but jimmy doesn't know that
Boxers picked up and then put down in almost the same spot on the bathroom floor.
this moment always gets me. these actors are incredible. there's so much goddamn emotion in one little action.
In his hand now, the ache of a yellow glowstick. The edges of his fingers are made red with it, and his skin and bones and all the gaps between the different parts of himself are marked out with the light. He’s awake, and the yellow stick is fragile in his grasp. Glowing through the cold and the dark. Burning a ghost on his retinas. His suit jacket is thin above him, a loose sheet. The desert is loud with lizards and wind and tires wheeling over dirt roads. The glowstick is golden.
and now finally i get to this glowstick moment. i'm really proud of how i executed this paragraph. it's the writing nerd in me again. i love what the present tense does to it. to me, it makes it feel eternal, ongoing. this is how i felt okay about not setting up the glowstick thing earlier. this paragraph makes me feel like jimmy's been thinking about this the entire time.
all the gaps between the different parts of himself are marked out with the light
also the thought of like... jimmy sitting awake in the desert thinking about the jimmy vs saul of it all.
Burning a ghost on his retinas.
"Did I dream it or did I have $1,600,000 on my desk in cash? When I close my eyes, I can still see it. It's burned into my retinas like I was staring into the sun."
Kim’s face is warm against his spine. Her heartbeat seems to pulse through his skin.
more of my stolen acb lines, this from the final chapter:
"He can feel her breathing, her knees pressed up close behind his, her chest against his back. Her heartbeat seems to pulse through his skin. If he didn’t know better, he’d feel like the Sandias, like a line of protection between her and the world."
When he closes his eyes, he’s walking, he’s still walking.
returning to the first sentence here gave it all a terrifying feeling to me. like -- does jimmy feel like this moment of getting home is the dream? this looping dream?
thank you so much to everyone who read this one-shot, by the way! i was super nervous about tackling canon times, and everyone's messages have been so reassuring. i really appreciate it 💖

I Don’t Think Were On Earth-65 Anymore Cop!Frank Castle x Spider!Reader
@jarvis-ismy-copilot @wolfmothar @marvelobsessedteen @majorcdanvers Summary: Jitterbug’s plan on getting home hits a few snags because of a vigilante that is all too familiar but also shockingly different. 
Tumblr media
Chapter ten
“This is the place.” 
Jitterbug looked through a dingy window to see a group of men walking around, multiple crates scattered in the warehouse. From what she could see one of them was open and full of high-tech machinery and weaponry. “You got a plan?”
Daredevil nodded, she still couldn’t believe it all. Working side by side with the doppelganger of a man who made her life a living hell. Well, she’ll have time to process the absurdity of it all when she got back to her dimension.
 “You go through the roof and web them up using your speed.” He explained. “And then I-” Suddenly Matt froze, his head tilted to the side as he listened to something she couldn’t hear. Jitterbug’s body went into overload and her hair stood on edge, the tell-tale sign of her spider-sense.
“Hey buddy, you wanna tell me what the hell is going on?” She looked around them and saw nothing, but she knew something was off.
Matt groaned. “Damnit Castle.”
Multiple gunshots rang throughout the building. A man had burst in and opened fire on the gang who quickly retaliated, turning it into a full blown fire-fight.
“New plan!” Jitterbug kicked in the window and sped into the building. “Stop everybody from killing each other!”
Jitterbug zipped into the building just in time to tackle a crook to the ground and out of gunfire. She narrowly avoided being shot by the man herself. Soon enough the gang was no longer focused on the mystery man, but her as well.
“What the fuck is that!” A thug screamed at her webbed mask.
She brought her fist down on his face, knocking him out instantly. “Save the dramatics mate.”
Daredevil ran over to the man and kicked the gun from his grasp. “Frank stop!”  At the name her head shot up to stare but Matt kicked him back, facing away from her and hiding his identity. “We have it handled.”
Jitterbug went around, immobilizing each criminal and dancing around the bullets as Matt fought the unknown assailant. She shook the thought from her head. There was no way, it just wasn’t possible! 
She looked over and saw them both still fighting. Matt was doing well to defend himself, but the man was better. He was taller, bulkier, and faster than the catholic vigilante. He definitely had training.  
The Matt from this dimension was completely different than the one she knew, so maybe...
“Hardly.” The man’s voice was rough and deep. It was one she’d heard every week, one telling her to leave it to the police, telling her to stay to fill out a police report and telling her to be careful.
She turned and shot a web at him, connecting his raised fist to the giant crate right next to him. He tried to wretch his hand free but to no avail. Matt set his hands on his hips and grinned, watching the man try to tear himself free with no success.
“You know, I could get used to this.”
The breathe was stolen right from Jitterbug’s lungs at the sight of Frank fucking Castle, covered in bruises and staring her down with harsh eyes. This Frank was stockier, covered in more scars but the same face and bulldog-frown. He wore no police uniform, but all black clothing and a vest with a white skull painted on that was now riddled with bullets.
“Frank?” She said his name so soft, so scared and confused that it shocked both men.
The Frank Castle she knew was an officer of the law, one who’d defend the justice system with his last breathe and criticize the masked heroes that help him in the same sentence. He openly dismissed vigilante justice as a nuisance and believed in the system he worked for.
Now she felt like she stepped right into an episode of Twilight Zone.
“Your girlfriend alright red?” Frank noticed how the masked woman tensed up when he looked at her. She shook herself out of her stupor, she had no time to stand and gape over the vigilante. (Even calling him that made her feel wrong.)
“I’m fine.” She snapped before walking right past him and to the crate he was connected to. “You aren’t my issue, that’s all him.” She waved a hand in DareDevil’s direction and Frank snorted.
“Well ain’t she peachy.” Christ, it was the same voice and everything.
Matt shot him a dirty look. “You’re lucky we got here when we did Frank. We had it covered and you-”
Frank rolled his eyes. Clearly the severity of the situation meant nothing to him.  Jitterbug noted the nicknames and first name basis the two were on. The banter between the two as they fought about their ideologies. 
I guess they've been through this with each other before.
“All you do it beat ‘em up and-” Frank looked around him and froze mid sentence.“Alright, that’s new.”
Each criminal was tied up tight in a cocoon of webbing, unconscious, immobilized and stuck to a wall.
“You're welcome for that, by the way.” Jitterbug ripped the top off the box with a single hand, something both Frank and Matt gaped at. She didn’t have time to get caught up on the fact that this dimension’s Frank didn’t blink an eye at killing. She needed to worry about getting home. “Now if you boys are done with your little dick measuring contest I have to-” She looked at the open box which was now full of shattered materials and bullet holes.
“Youve got to be fucking kidding me!”
“What?” Matt rushed to her side. “What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong?” She laughed mockingly before turning to face Frank with a nasty scowl. “What’s wrong is that your Frank Castle is an ass who just ruined my chances of getting home because he’s fucking trigger happy!”
He clenched his fist and let out a slow breathe, as if keeping his temper from snapping. “You want me to apologize for keeping those guns from hittin’ the streets? For keepin’ those criminals from killing more people?”
She groaned and pointed in his face. “No jackass, I want you to apologize for sending me to an early grave you-”
She remembered Gwen telling her that “glitching” felt like “being tazed naked in a snowstorm.” Which as odd as it sounded, was actually spot on to the agonizing pain she felt in that moment as her body distorted and burned. She didn’t know what the loud piercing sound was until she realized it was her own screaming. She stumbled to the floor and Matt caught her, ripping off her mask and looking at her groaning form.
“Jitterbug?” He pressed his fingers to her pulse and she patted his arm, letting him know she was find, well...as fine as she could be in the situation.
“Hey!” Frank tried to rip his hand free and run to her aid, but he was stuck as stuck can be. “Hey! What the hell is going on?!” As the sight of her screaming in pain, Frank went from anger to concern for the now unmasked heroine. “Red what the hell did you do!?”
“Me?” Matt shot back. “This wasn’t me at all. If anything your violent actions could have been the one to cause-”
“I’m fine.” She pushed herself out of Matt’s arms and upright, facing both men with a grim expression. “Just my atoms reacting to being in another dimension is all.”
Frank looked between her and Matt. “Your what?”
“We need to find a way to get me back, or else I’m gonna keep doing that.” She explained. “And eventually I wont get back up from it.”
“We will.” Daredevil promised her. With that she went to one of the boxes to see what she could salvage. Maybe she could put something together? All the materials were there, albeit dented and riddled with bullets but maybe she’d be able to get it to work just enough to return her home.
As Jitterbug pondered a plan Frank fisted daredevil’s costume in his hand and yanked him close, rage clear on his face.
“Start talking. Now.”
