Griffguts Weekend 2024 | Day 3 | Asphodel

Death and mourning

oh wow look at me posting on the third day of the event Exactly As Planned, not two days late at all! 😇

this is a sort of companion piece to this, which I posted on the second day. Sorry for the angst :')

detail shot under the cut

scalene (berserk, 3/3 chapters)

Modern AU: Griffith misses his ex and he’s going to make it everyone else’s problem.

Excerpt:

“I’ve only sent the video to you so far,” he says, swiping the back of his hand across his nose. It comes away red and sticky. “Whether it stops there or not is up to you.”

“I don’t understand you.” Guts looks like he wants to deck him again… but he sublimates the urge on the closest wall. It’s giving mafia don whose second cousin died in a territorial dispute. Some paint flakes off; some drywall crumbles. “Damn you! You’re the king of Silicon Valley. Falconia Inc.’s stocks are doing numbers this year — and from what the press is sayin’, you’re set to take over Kushan Enterprises, too. Why isn’t that enough? Huh? What do you want from me? Why the fuck isn’t that enough?”

“That’s a good question.” Griffith’s lips twitch sadly. “I don’t know.”

GRIFFGUTS WEEKEND 2024 (@griffgutsweekend): ASPHODEL PROMPT III: DEATH / MOURNING.

A GriffGuts AU of the film Jennifer's Body (2009). You can read it here on AO3, but please be mindful of the tags, since it contains topics which can be distressing for some audiences, such as violence and major character death. You will find more information of its content warnings on the fic's tag list. Having said that, I hope you all can enjoy it, happy GriffGuts weekend 2024!
He must be losing his mind. They say some people go mad with grief, that their minds shatter under the heavy burden of loss. The wind always smells of Griffith, now, and sometimes it carries his voice, calling his name, laughing, singing. Other times, he sees something in the corner of his eye, a flash of bright white, but when he turns his head, it disappears. He wonders if these are the first cracks in his mind.

Written for GriffGuts Weekend 2024. Day 3 | Asphodel: death and mourning.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Berserk (Anime & Manga) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Griffith | Femto/Guts (Berserk) Characters: Guts (Berserk), Griffith | Femto (Berserk) Additional Tags: griffgutsweekend2024, Angst, Fluff and Angst, Traumatized Guts, Swordplay as a metaphor, Everything is Beautiful and Nothing Hurts, Implied/Referenced Rape/Non-con, Past Child Abuse, Past Rape/Non-con, Rape Recovery, Hurt/Comfort, Angsty Guts, Power Dynamics, Griffith pulls rank because he can, Non-Graphic Smut, Not sure if it even counts as smut but oh well, Fluff and Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, First Kiss, kind of first time, Possessive Griffith, Minor mention of the Band of the Hawk, Pre-Eclipse (Berserk), Golden Age (Berserk), Canon Compliant, Top Guts (Berserk), Bottom Griffith | Femto (Berserk) Summary:

It doesn’t matter how easily Guts shreds through the other men with his sword, or how many bodies he leaves in his wake. Even when surrounded by a hundred men, he never felt as exposed as he does looking down into the eyes of his commander.

Or, Guts climbs up the hill for some one-on-one time with Griffith.

Griffguts Weekend 2024 | Day 2 | Camellia

Hello GriffGuts Nation! I make my grand return with this doozy of a fic for the best three day weekend holiday of the year. There's not nearly enough mpreg content for GriffGuts so I've been cooking up this little post-Eclipse au for us all to enjoy. Thank you to @/chbnny on Twitter for taking my commission!

And happy GriffGuts Weekend, everyone! Also the fic title totally isn't taken from Juno by Sabrina Carpenter

scalene (berserk, 2/3 chapters)

Modern AU: Griffith misses his ex and he’s going to make it everyone else’s problem.

Excerpt:

Griffith smiles at Casca, as if to say I’m on your side, and puts a hand on his shoulder. The gesture used to be so comforting; it still is, but Casca has the impression that comfort is laced with something darker now.

Or is that giving himself too much credit?

Is it really just pity?

Griffguts Weekend 2024 | Day 2 | Camellia

Devotion, adoration, desire

Some of you might recognize this from uhhh three months ago lol, I decided to finish it up for GGweekend! Overall fairly pleased with how it turned out, lazy background not withstanding lol.

I also have a companion piece I'm planning on posting tomorrow (if I can finish it in time 🫣). Pray for me y'all.

Griffguts Weekend Day 2 - Camellia

"Red camellias are known to symbolise deep desire, so if you're trying to win someone over, sending a bouquet of red camellias will do the trick."

...Aka Griffith-has-unexplained-flower-powers AU.. featuring Guts ruining Griffith's cool white aesthetic
