Stay Good Under Pressure: A Candlenights Exploration

Happy Candlenights, @yourbelgianthings! I'm your secret santa nyehehe. Hope you enjoy your hefty serving of Angus McDonald with a side of IPRE pain<3

This fic is loosely built around a line from the Mountain Goats' We Have Seen The Enemy (you know the one). I also tried to intersperse as much tmg as I could! (which ended up being not that much, sadly, but I think it hits) thank you for making me insane about this.

Word count: 3052

“Hey, guys, is something going on?”

Angus was sitting in the Director's office, on one of the seats across her desk, helping the reclaimer crew navigate the Millers’ rapidly crystalizing lab.

“Guys, is something wrong? I can't hear you anymore.”

It seemed yet another one of Lucas’s experiments was proving more trouble than it was worth. From the crackling, static-ridden other end, it seemed like they had angered a robot that was meant to be a learning tool for children — only the “artificial intelligence” had obviously gotten out of control. Lucretia could not believe this was the same man she had trusted with the safety of this entire world. With the safety of her family.

“I think there's something wrong with the stones!”

The line went quiet.

“Sirs?” Angus spoke into the stone of farspeech as he looked up at her, worry raw in his eyes the way only a kid’s can show.

Lucretia reached over the desk and took the stone from his hands, trying to channel brand new arcane power into it. “Boys? Is everything alright?”

Silence.

All I Wanted

@tazsapphicweek Day 1 - Prompt: "Beach"
It all started (ended) with a job.

Word count: 1,353 (Chapter 1)

Ship: Oksamber - Amber Gris/Oksana (Ballaster Kodira)

Warnings: Description of drowning

Chapter 1: Think Of Me When You're Out There

Finding out felt like the part of a dream when it starts to turn into a nightmare. They had been on the beach when Oksana told her; she had always known her way around Amber, and they had been sitting on the pier. The bomb dropped as they were kicking at the water with bare feet, looking out at the storm. Amber’s feet were suddenly stiff and unmoving an inch above the surface.

“What do you mean ‘vessel’? Are you tellin’ me you’re some sorta chosen one, Bubba? ‘cause if that’s the case—” Amber started rambling, gods, she never could stop rambling in front of her. She threw out deflecting jokes because this could not be what she knew it was. Could not mean what she was certain, with a dread that settled deep in her bones, it meant.

“No, no, no… Well, not exactly? It’s not… like that. Just… Since the ship’s made out of Dead God Remains he’s… kinda… vibed better with some folks than others.” Oksana’s eyes did not once leave the water’s surface to meet hers. “The marines are not happy about it, either, believe me.”

“He?” Amber could not take her eyes off her own feet. She wondered if she would ever see a blink shark again.“Koda, the- the god. I…” Oksana’s voice was faltering, uneasy, but there was something in her tone that was not entirely fear… Amber did not know what it was. “I heard him. When I got close to the ship, I- I felt him, Amber, he spoke to me. He asked me to be his vessel.” When Amber finally worked up the courage to look up, her eyes were already on her; pleading to be understood. “No one else heard his actual voice, Bams. Only me.”

I never had people draw fanart for one of my fics or write something based on it, but I just know that that is such a high honor and show of love. I once had someone ask me if they could translate my fic in Chinese and I was like, wow, they love it enough to want to put time and effort into it to show it to more people.

creativepromptsforwriting

To all writers, you can use this post to let people know that you would be delighted to receive fanart and would love if they get creative with what you created.

@a-mag-a-day I'm being Extremely Normal about the tapes today.

[I’m scared? When does the fear go away?... A-Anyway, I’m sorry.]

'Understanding' never was Beholding's strong suit, and much less with an Archivist who was impulsive and reckless and arrogant and oh-so-quick to throw himself out into the gutter for a misguided concept of 'doing good'. He never did give himself enough time to think things through, never grasped that he might need it; the difference between knowing and comprehending. Always too caught up in the big picture to understand the details. I suppose, in many ways, that is the role we play in this particular thread of history, if the wordplay will be excused. We are happy enough to help the Watcher, as long as it will behave and not make trouble.

Also here I will put a further link to my fandom list! (Which includes fandoms i have never written for but i will take nearly any excuse. For… Ask game and request purposes👀)

Hi! Happy New Year! I promise I didn’t abandon this fic, life just got REALLY in the way. Alternatively: Yes There Is A Third Chapter To This Fic. Remember how I said it’s built around a dream? No? Well, it is. Here you go. Please enjoy: Son Boy Comfort Ultimate.

Chapter 3: A Consideration of Everything that is Right and Wrong in The World

Chat Noir’s first akuma after making the discovery was… well. To say it was harsh would be an understatement.

It was the end of the day, but they had still been at school. Adrien would not have known what to do with himself if he had been home. He felt like a bit of a delinquent: Nino, Alya and Marinette had talked him into skipping fencing to go to the cinema with them and watch the first showing of a movie Nino had been raving about for months. He got Kagami to cover for him and everything had been going to plan until that point, but then again why should he ever get to have nice things? He was pretty sure that was not allowed.
