[Medic! Reader is demonstrating pressure points. She’s pinching the back of Soap’s neck to relieve some stress.]
R/n: Of course if you miss this spot by a quarter inch either way, you could render a person blind or impotent!~
[she releases him]
Gaz: Soap are you okay?
Soap, looks at him: Well, I can see.
[A nurse walks by drops something they lean over to look for it. Soap’s just looking at their butt with a dopey grin on his face.]
Soap: Oh, yeah, I’m fine.~

!!! well i gotta be honest with you, idk how ANYONE is supposed to read a title like "the beast in the cursed woods" and NOT want a million details about it!!! hehehehe anything you care to share from that one? snippets? general vibes? i'm loving the sound of a fairy tale!!
The Beast in the Cursed Woods
There was once a small, idyllic village within which lived a modest but happy people. Life in their village could have been perfect bliss if it had not been situated right next to a large and thick forest, that was said to be haunted by a particularly gruesome beast, for whoever set foot into the forest, was never seen again.
For this very reason, the villagers would avoid entering the forest at any cost. Most of their errands could be accomplished by staying within the bounds of their village anyway and longer travels were seldom necessary; and if they needed to journey farther away, they would make sure to use the roads that led well around the forest, even if that meant taking a considerable detour.
One day it came to pass, however, that a stranger came into the village, walked up to the local smithy and placed a big order, demanding it to be taken to their abode on the other side of the forest as quickly as possible. As the mysterious stranger was dressed in fine clothing and paid a large sum of money upfront, with the promise of an equally large sum to be paid upon delivery, the blacksmith very willingly accepted the order, with no further questions asked.
He then set out to fulfill the order as expeditiously as possible. Upon its soon completion, the blacksmith’s apprentice was tasked with delivering the order to the customer’s address, along with the express instruction to take the swiftest route to the proclaimed destination, even though it meant passing directly through the haunted woods.
The apprentice was a hard-working, obedient fellow, who, even though he did not like his master’s plan, immediately got ready to do as he was bidden....
The blacksmith's apprentice does not set out on this own, however - he is accompanied by a fair maiden whom he loves dearly... Since it is a LauraMax Quarry fic, I'm sure you can guess who the apprentice and his maiden are ;)
They get lost in the woods and come across a forlorn hut, where they try to find shelter... unfortunately it is locked. But something odd catches their attention... a big, old, gnarly oak tree - with a yellow door fitted in the wide trunk? Mysterious.... 👀
Well, they end up opening the door and the youth gets attacked by a vicious monster, receiving a nasty bite... A disgruntled hunter appears and captures the beast, but he has bad news for the couple - the youth is now cursed himself, doomed to become a monster when the next fullmoon rises...
“Is there no way for the curse to be broken?” The maiden asked, weeping, “Is there no way of saving him?”
“No,” the hunter said harshly, “there is but one way to break this curse, and that is so hard that you will not succeed at it, for many have tried as I have tried it myself in an attempt to save my brother, but it could not be done.”
“As long as there is a chance of saving my beloved, I have to at least try," the young maiden said determinedly, “I will not, I must not fail.”
And that sets off Laura's big old journey (naturally with 3 tasks that need to be accomplished - now I only have to figure out what those tasks are supposed to be ;)
Naturally, I take plenty of inspiration from various Grimm fairy tales (especially the creepy ones and the ones with female heroes): The Robber's Bridegroom, Jorinda and Joringel, The Seven Ravens, The Nix of the Millpond, Fitcher's Bird, etc.

I think the nurses would LOVE to see price and gaz. They be rolling out of their room with the IV pole and just chatting them up at the nursing station lmaoo
Gaz be charming up all the nurses and price is the really understanding one
Rn: sorry i couldn’t give you ur pain meds on time
Price: its okay honey i get it you had other patients to attend to and the floors are busy ;-)
Rn: 😭🥺
And then theres soap being a cute lil dummy
Soap: ummm… my throat hurts cant you just give me the orange juice thru my IV 😆
Rn: MY GUY. ARE YOU A FAN OF SEPSIS AND EMBOLISM 🥲
LMFAO I LOVE THESE HOSPITAL HCS
price and gaz being respectful to staff, conversing with nurses and residents as if they don't actively have stitches they need to be careful with. are they even supposed to be walking around? probably not.
soap ... oh, soap. so smart and proficient in other contexts — but as soon as he's in the threshold of a hospital — WATCH HIM !! UNLESS HE'S BEDRIDDEN, HE GET'S TOO BORED FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL SAFETY !!
simon not being seen for days, stumbling back in after a bender. when he finally doses off in a chair, you stick him w/ a banana bag bc he NEEDS IT and you are not about to deal with his hungover grumpiness !!
and of course, he's going to wake up as soon as you cross his personal bubble. did nurse!y/n almost get her shit rocked? yeah !! but you're doing him (and everyone else) a favor !!

Like, Right now i only really have Vibes for Aetius and Serapis instead of anything approaching a story.
Aetius is a hyper, bouncy, constantly moving Cat™ guy who causes problems on purpose without any thought for the consequences and then is very upset when those consequences (big or small) come for him.
Serapis is a slow and deliberate maze beast. A classic minotaur guarding his maze and taking great pleasure in the constant battles he finds himself in. He's very cool and level headed. A bit brusque but kind to the other monsters within his maze.
Their energies work well together but neither of them really work on their own, Aetius is annoying without Serapis, and Serapis is boring without Aetius, so splitting them up at any point within the story is a no.
Which is a problem because Serapis doesn't have any desire to leave the maze and Aetius is too scared of what might be beyond the wall to have much interest in leaving either. So neither would intentionally quest to see the outside world and there's no quests to be had within the walls other than their long established routines of guarding their dens and killing any who come too near.
Which makes me think that instead of having them quest to leave, they should be trying to return home to the maze. Maybe they're captured for one reason or another. A minotaur to guard and a sphinx to keep around as yard decor or something. They escape before Aetius can be slaughtered for his pure gold pelt and are now in the typical "long way from home" plot. Only with the added risk that comes with being a big bull monster and a guy who is very visibly actual gold.
And idk. That's just Boring to me for some reason. Maybe it's because I see them as being already established as a couple by then, but if they weren't I doubt either would have stopped to help the other as a stranger or passing acquaintance when their own skin was on the line.
They could be forced to leave by some curse or disease. Off to go find a cure for themselves or the maze. but that feels bleh.
I'm going to sleep on it, but i think the issue I'm having is neither of them want more than they have because neither of them Know there is more to be had.

On one hand it makes me feel good that my newer/younger coworkers know I'm dependable and can ask me for help when they need it. On the other hand, it can be really overwhelming when I'm trying to do one thing and 5 people are coming up to me asking me about 4848393 different things y'know?
