raise your life a new dawn chapter 1

Pain. Pain-fear-rage-hate-hunger— “Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer in vain—” A voice. Familiar. Known. Cared for— (Take them.) (Take them, take them, take them!) (Make them belong to us!) No— no, they wouldn’t want that, wouldn’t want to be— to be— (To be what? Ours? They’re already ours and they know it!) (And if …

a victim trapped in my own life Part 2

Yakumo jolts to his feet the moment he materializes back at base, letting his mask and veil and weapon fade away as he strides down the ramp and makes a beeline straight for the area where Louis should be working, ignoring Davis’ considering gaze and Rin’s puzzled frown as he does. His mouth tastes like …

a victim trapped in my own life Part 1

Erich settles with a sigh next to the newly refreshed mistle, blankly watching as the bite mark on his hand slowly heals under the mistle’s influence. He flexes his hand, squeezing one last drop of blood from the wound which trickles down his palm and falls, splashing to the dry, dusty ground and soaking in— …

Not a Person Part 3

Erich jolts awake, his heart hammering and a dream lurking just out of reach, and immediately rolls onto his side to curl into a ball. He can’t— he doesn’t understand, doesn’t know what he was dreaming but it still— it still— (It burned, it burned and burned and burned and his teeth ached and he …

Not a Person Part 2

Erich wipes the water from his face with a disgusted grimace then glowers at the tall, gangly Lost as it slowly disperses; he hadn’t quite understood Louis’ clear disinterest in fighting in the Howling Pit, attributing it mostly to the area being flooded and Louis’ abilities being fire-based, but now…? He absolutely understands Louis’ opinion …

Not a Person Part 1

Louis leans against a piece of scrap, contemplating the misty, waterlogged area in front of them; he’s not looking forward to trudging through the morass, and even less to fighting in that morass, but needs must. He’s pretty sure he remembers a Bloodspring out in this direction, and if Erich can revive it — and …

The pulse itself remains, even if it’s destroyed Part 9

Kisuke waits until he hears the door to his lab slide closed, then counts to ten before he finally lets himself roll over onto his stomach with a groan. (He really— he really did that, huh?) (He really just clung to Eri— Rerugen all night, didn’t he?) (Fuck, if Rerugen knows Kisuke woke up both …

Ichigo/Bucky Barnes: Forgotten First Meeting + Locked in a Room Part 5

Their waiter comes around just as Ichigo is wrapping up his rambling tale of the day’s events, complete with his (entirely justified) complaints about how ridiculously helpless the denizens of Soul Society tend to be despite being powerful warriors in their own right. They’re good people — or, mostly good people, Ichigo isn’t going to …

The Storms are Over Part 6

“Well, this is certainly a tangled mess of a world we find ourselves in now,” Weiss declares as soon as Nier closes the door to his borrowed room behind them. “You’re telling me,” Nier mutters as he runs a hand over his face and then through his hair with a grimace. “Weiss, you were, well… …

beneath the cherry trees Part 11

Ren makes sure to keep a subtle eye on the three shifters as they move closer to Kamiki Village, watching for any of the familiar signs of being overwhelmed that some newcomers experience, especially now that they know that at least three of the strangers can sense Konohana. Shadow and Silver seemed to adapt to …

Erich/Kisuke/Alexis: Time Travel + Flirting Under Fire

Prompt: As always, Erich/Kisuke(/Alexis?) 32, 25 hamelin-born (32: Flirting under fire, 25: Time travel Erich/Kisuke(/Alexis?)) “This is not quite what I had in mind when you said ‘let’s go back in time and fix things!’” Erich shouted as he swept his arm out, emerald reiatsu trailing from his fingertips and lingering as brilliant streaks that …

Wish-granter!Erich Part 2

“You left without telling me.” “Shopping is boring,” Kisuke said absently and readjusted the clamp he’d placed the bottle in, tightening the nut just a tiny bit more; just as the shopkeep had claimed, the bottle had resisted all attempts to break it open and the metal stopper refused to budge. So he’d prodded Benihime …

Wish-granter!Erich Part 1

(Formerly Genie!Erich, but I decided that Erich is actually a captured fae, not a genie, so the name is different between tumblr and wordpress) Kisuke absently poked through the cluttered back corner of the shop, occasionally picking something up to look at it closer before setting it back down and moving on; he had nothing …

Ichigo/Bucky Barnes: Forgotten First Meeting + Locked in a Room Part 4

James eyes the menu in front of him for a moment and then sets it aside, already settled on what he’s going to get; there aren’t many places that serve meals large enough for a super soldier, so he’s used to just ordering whatever looks like the biggest serving and eating that. (He’s never been …
