AN: uuh so that halloween fic….it’s ok if its 24 days late right???? 😂
PLEASE READ BEFORE DIVING INTO THE FIC!!
Many elements in this fic are taken from Dante’s Inferno and Paradise Lost, so please just bear that in mind before delving in!
There is also VERY DUBIOUS CONSENT – reader does agree in the end, but it’s not without some hesitation, so please do not read this if that makes you uncomfortable! In addition to the above tags, if descriptions of emotional manipulation, self-deprecation, sickness and severe headaches make you uncomfortable, then this fic will not be fun for you!
I left the reader’s intentions for the summoning ambiguous because I thought that would be easier/more inclusive if that makes sense???
HUGE THANK YOU to @keilemlucent for beta reading! 💕💕💕
Thirteen candles, three tubs of salt, ten tubes of paint and a clumsy hand wound.
What has your life come to? You’re probably not even doing this right. There must be some more in-depth method to a summoning, because this all seems too textbook.
Thirteen candles; twelve placed in a circle at each point of a clock so the demon can find the way out of Hell, and the thirteenth in your hand so the demon can find you.
A ring of salt around the twelve candles to keep it trapped. Hopefully a breeze doesn’t disrupt the circle mid-ritual…
Ten tubes of red paint to draw the pentagram, each symbol and image copied straight from the book you’d ordered.
And a hand wound to get the blood needed to entice the demon to come out. You would smack yourself across the face if it didn’t hurt so much. Because the concept of summoning a demon is so incredibly ridiculous – and the fact that you’re sitting before a scene that looks like it’s come straight from some cheaply made horror flick – that you want to scream.
But it’s worth a shot, isn’t it? You’ve had a pretty bad week. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s nice to fantasise about summoning the worst Hell has to offer and setting them loose as a collective fuck you to the world.

tidbids:
Andrea and Derek used to date. They decided they were better off as friends shortly after Derek was granted the title of Death. Charon was insecure about this fact but hid it.
Dedra is in a very Steven Universe situation. She's growing up in the shadow of someone who came before her while trying to figure out her own shit. She tries her best to help, but there's only so much a child can do. The adults have to help too.
Andrea was a vampire before Derek was awarded the title of Death. How she became one is something she doesn't talk about.
Who Death was before Derek is something the higher-ups don't talk about. So, no one knows.
Derek’s life before he met Andrea is a big question mark. Where he came from, what his story is, and literally anything about his past is something he never talked about

Charon was born on the streets, taken care of by drifters until they deemed they needed to drift in a different direction from a child. They weren't his parents. They didn't have responsibility towards him. No, Charon had no one to take care of him but himself. And that was fine.
He scrounged up what he could, used what others didn't need, and started getting getting minimum wage jobs as soon as people would hire him. He was hired on as simple things. But, with no formal education, he didn't have much of a chance for anything else.
Until he started overhearing dark secrets. Secrets that people wanted other people dead. And, well, they'd pay for it. Charon had two choices: turn these secret holders in and probably get hit himself for being a rat. Or get the job done.
He became a psuedo-hit man. Getting paid to kill others. It got him what he needed. He never liked that he did it, but it was what life handed him. It was fine, for a bit.
But police figured out what he was. And he was the subject of a man hunt across the united states as he fled. He was shot in a confrontation and crawled to an alley to die. He was born there, he would die there.
Death approached this dying man and felt pity for his soul. He could hear Hell calling for this man but.... Charon had been dealt a bad hand. Most people who were dealt a bad hand like this were negotiated away to purgatory- or they were condemed to hell. And Death usually didn't care. But Charon reminded him so much of another.....
Death squirreled Charon a once-in-a-blue-moon deal he couldn't refuse. He'd become a soul collector. One who would be tasked with collecting souls that Death missed and became ghosts. It was true what they said, no one could be everywhere at once. He had to collect the souls of ones who were harmful to mortals. But the ones who were minding their own buisness? Up to him as to what to do with them.
Charon accepted.
Death introduced himself as Derek, a being capable of splitting his soul off into multiple bodies so he could do his job. Derek and Charon became close as Derek taught the new soul collector the ropes. Charon felt Derek understood him, and was the closest thing that Charon had towards being a friend. Even more....
But it all came crashing down one morning. Andrea, a vampiric former guardian of Death when Death was still a new, fragil soul, came to Charon in tears. The higher ups could not find Death or his soul anywhere. And when they looked..... They found the world had created a new Death. A young girl who said her name was Dedra.
Derek was gone, as good as dead. Charon now forces himself to focus on the task he has been given. Pick up the slack from the new Death and gather souls as best he can. He just tells himself that when he's paid back his debt... He'll look for Derek's soul himself. The higher ups had to have missed something. Overlooked a small detail- something. Derek couldn't be gone.
ABOUT THE SOUL IN A JAR:
Watson was gifted to Charon when Derek was still around. This soul seems to be trapped in a magic jar that makes the heavenly powers unable to detect the soul or judge it properly, and therefore was left until it could be judged. The jar cannot be opened, no matter how hard anyone tries. It can't be broken either. It seems invincible. Derek wanted Charon to "take care" of Watson, as he didn't have time to watch over the soul anymore.
Danny is like a cockroach. No matter what happens he just keeps coming back.
Every Wayne has watched this kid die.
Every single Bat and Bird has failed to save him
They don't realize it's the same dude at first
They all just think they're having an absolute shit week.
He saved Damians life when he took that bullet
Jason watched him give his life for a kid when a bus was coming and the kid wouldn't get out of the way in time. Jason wasn't close enough (maybe they both would have lived if Jason had been closer. Faster. Better)
Cass saw the knife fly at him. She was too far. Couldn't tell to save him. She watched him fall in silence. He never made a sound.
He was at the top of a flight of stairs. Barbra watched him lose his balance. She was trapped by her chair and the daylight hours. She watched. Helpless as he tumbled to the ground, and lay, broken, before her.
Bruce was running late when it happened. His car stalled. Just as a boy, no older than his sons, ran (or flew or appeared) down the street. Out of breath. Covered in blood and bruises. Clothing torn. Bruce made to get out of the car as the boy turned and shouted. As if making his final stand. Bruce watches as the boy is gunned down by men in white. It's not until much later that he realizes the boy stopped where he, did, not because he was exhausted, but because they were running towards a crowd. That he had stopped running, had givens himself up, to protect the innocent.
Alfred held out a hand to a child. Too small and young and thin by far. He was just heading out to meet an old friend. He had no supplies, no emergency button no phone. No food to share or clean clothes to offer. Suddenly he found himself on the ground with the child on top of him, head oozing from what appeared to be a piece fallen from the building above them. The child has pushed him out of the way. His final act had been to save a stranger.
They're eating a meal in silence. All together for the first time in a long while. When there's a knock at the door. A case worker. Asking if Mr. Wayne were able to take in a child. Just for a short while. It was an emergency. He had no where else to go. They were desperate.
Bruce is tempted to say no. It's been a terrible couple of weeks. But who was he to turn away a child in need. Of course he has room. Let him tell Alfred. Just come through to the dining room when you're ready, you remember where it is of course? Excellent. We'll put extra places out for the both of you. Of course you're welcome to join us for dinner, it's awfully late and you must be starving.
Bruce goes back to let Alfred know they'll have dinner guests and is just settling in when the Boy They All Watched Die walks in closely tailing the social worker.
Chaos ensues

reblog to teleport your mutuals to a massive party when jkr dies
fUCKIN' MOOD
I SWEAR
I might write something for this, I'm not super into the game but this concept makes me fuckin CACKLE
sometimes i wonder, like, what the brothers would do/how they would react to a younger mc (younger meaning ‘97-’01) because,, gen z is absolutely fucking wild. and nobody seems to take that into account, ever.
like, an m/c coming from the human world where half the shit they say is self deprecating (”why am i so dumb? why am i Literally dumb of Ass?”), a suicidal thought (”i am so fucking Sick of being alive.” “the only person who gets to kill me is ME.”), violent (”the next person who tries to tell me that oatmeal raisin cookies are acceptable is getting my foot broken off in their Ass.”), dramatic (”i thought we were out of salsa and, not gonna lie, i wanted to commit a hate crime.”) scarily intelligent (”capitalism is a heinous machine in which all cogs will be ground into dust while trying desperately to feel important and people will Never realize that their ceaseless hard work is absolutely no match for corporate juggernauts and a handful of bigwigs. yeehaw!”)
like,,, what would the brothers even be able to Do or Say to shit like that? what do you do when you, a centuries old, immortal being, are faced with a young, fragile human, who fears no man, no god and certainly not death . the only person who could come Close to being unfazed is Levi, but imagine luci.
imagine he says something to m/c and he caught them in a mood and they just look at him with eyes that swallow everything in their path and they go, “sure, jan.” or the inevitable “ok, Boomer.” and luci just realizes that he is Not dealing with your average, god fearing human and that dia has stuck him with an emotional juggernaut who, if given the chance, would completely and thoroughly gut any and all forms of authority - and he Knows this because they told him.
satan absolutely Adores them though and constantly whisks them away to pick their brain because, finally, someone he likes who he can have intelligent conversations with-
definitely more of this to come because my brain likes to run fucking LAPS for these boys
//TW Blood and sadness
imagine kinning an edgy Lego monkey
couldn’t be me.
you didn’t need your heart today, right?
also anyone else see the shadow?
I had this idea about a person who died and their “soul” split in half.
Now their skeleton and their ghost are friends.
The ghost inherited the more sentimental and emotional parts, the skeleton got the will to survive, the determination, and the cunning.
Basically: Ghost = Right brain, Skeleton = Left brain.
Another ghost OC I’m working on, they don’t have a name yet, but they’re Agender.
They lived in their car 1-3 years before death, and died near or in their car and now they haunt their smashed up car which resides at the Wreckers.
The employees have learned not to mess with the car which will set off car alarms (even though they checked, and it doesn’t even HAVE car alarms), open and slam shut doors, blast music, beep, and even drive a few feet if people attempt to damage or remove any part of it.
The ghost itself is usually pretty friendly and content if no one is attempting to destroy their home, and will sometimes turn the radio on to greet employees they like.
Most of the employees have taken to hanging out at the abandoned car on their breaks either to smoke, or just to hang out, and it’s an initiation for any new employees to light them a cigarette and leave it in an ashtray on the seat near the busted window.
So yeah.
I like these OCs I’m working on.
The top one is the ghost when they were alive, basically they died on accident (kind of) and haunted their own home, but eventually attached themself to someone who was visiting (the blonde dude in the green shirt).
The ghost isn’t violent at all, just REALLY clingy.
They’re generally shy, anxious, and kind of sad, and always clings to and often wraps their body around whoever they’re attached to at the time.
The guy can’t really see them, but thinks he’s haunted because of the fact that he can always feel someone touch his hair, and shoulders and the fact that he’s always got the chills.
I think the ghost is going to either be aromantic or quoiromantic, and Non-binary.
The dude is probably an AMAB non-binary boy, I’m thinking he’s maybe Asexual and Aromantic.
Still working on them, and haven’t named em yet.
//posting this on instagram as i usually do would make me look like an attention whore so i'm just gonna write everything here bc i know no one's ever gonna read it - looks like i'm being overdramatic and complaining for nothing but i've been keeping this for myself for too long\\ + /!\tw: mentions of self-harm and suicide/!\
it's 12am and i've been crying for a few hours and every new thought i have, every single thing i look at makes me cry some more. i know i've been feeling down for years and even worse this year and a literal hell since i moved here alone, but the last few days have been the worst so far. i don't even know where to start, this life is just a fucking mess and i can't keep that weight on my shoulders anymore. it feels like i'm wandering alone as i've always been and whenever i hit rock bottom it somehow gets worse. whatever makes me happy one day is gonna destroy me the next one.
every time i get a call from my family or even when they visit, i tell them that everything's fine, the neighborhood is not so bad, school is really great and i'm making friends. friends, i tell them i'm good, not at my best but not at my worst either, no i don't own a cat but these little cuts are nothing to worry about and no worries because i can handle it. when really i've been walking around in this damn apartment for a week now and it made me lose it. i haven't eaten anything since last week (not a real meal at least, just some dumb stuff here and there), i cry myself to sleep every night, i listen to the same triggering songs on repeat, i go crazy and hide myself whenever someone's yelling in my street because it scares me, i lay in bed all day and night doing nothing and blankly staring at the ceiling, it makes me realize how i don't really have anyone by my side, someone that knows and that can act on it, no one to ease my pain as it's no one's role. also i've been sick for a few days now so i couldn't even get out of bed, i'm completely dehydrated from the crying and sweating because my body really shouldn't be reaching such a high temperature, my throat is burning, i'm starving but it just makes me feel very nauseous so i won't eat, and i woke up 4 times last night, i had hallucinations on the 4th time. when i finally got up i could barely walk and i found myself wondering where i was, i was feeling high and lost, i nearly fell in the hallway while being dizzy and trying to figure things out. i also noticed that no one's talked to me in days, except the few people i texted first and it certainly isn't helping me.
i usually spend most of my days daydreaming to escape reality but a week ago it changed and my mind's been busy with something else. i haven't been able to daydream since and i'm just forced to face my thoughts and the reality around me. so today after sitting and crying on my desk for a few hours, i just lost it, felt the need to yell and destroy everything, smash the furniture, burn the drawings, break every single object i own and used to enjoy. i didn't do any of this, but i wish i did. i'm usually dissociated from reality and now that i'm faced with it, it just makes no sense and it's driving me crazy. i thought about getting drunk, or taking too many pills, or cut some more, whatever. and then i burst into tears again and fell on my bed as i realized that it would take days, even weeks, before someone notices that i'm missing. they couldn't care less, everyone's busy with their own issues as it should be.
i keep telling myself that we all deal with some really fucked up shit, but i'm the weak one that just can't manage. the others are not breaking down like this, driving themselves crazy, or maybe they are but i can't see it. and i'm just a mess, i can't handle this. i hate this place, i'm scared of this creepy neighborhood, i'm failing all my classes, i'm not able to take care of myself - never been -, i've got no one to tell this to so i'm writing it on this dumb website and it's gonna be lost forever, i never had anyone by my side, i've been letting this loneliness kill me softly for years, the fact that no one's ever been interested in me confirms my thoughts about myself, whatever i bought to fill up this apartment is not me, my drawings are not art, they're just pieces of paper i covered to ask for help but it never fixed anything; just watch me give up and let go of this. it makes no sense anyway, i've only ever lived in my head but it's poisoned and i just can't keep going. i was never meant to be a part of this, nothing ever felt right - and what did just left me - and all of this just feels like i'll keep messing up again and again until the end.
i'm exhausted.
my english teacher just came up to my desk during the break to read the text i had written down and it starts with 'when my time comes..' and he just looked at me like 'wtf are you ok??'
i'm sorry sir i didn't mean to make you worried
i had a nightmare (i mean i think i was daydreaming or phasing out or idk) so i was on my way to the art class but as i reached it i saw him, he was waiting for me i immediately started running in the hallway and the staircase because i knew he had seen me and he was after me i reached the office and yelled 'let me hide here, please! i'll explain everything to you afterwards but please help me!' and the woman knew me so she allowed me to stay and showed me a seat behind a wall where he wouldn't be able to see me a few seconds later he came in and asked her about me, pretending to be worried she pretended to use the computer to know where i was supposed to be and then told him that she didn't know he eventually left and i told the woman everything i was crying and i couldn't take it anymore i left the building and once i was on the parking lot i decided to run again, to get hit by a car on the road the same end as all the other nightmares where he finds me again so when he finds me for real, i already have my way out.
Playing with a photo I took from an immersive production of Hamlet. Original tumblr thread here: https://catsnuggler.tumblr.com/post/131516403614/useless-swedenfacts-tsukino-png-i-just-saw-a
I feel like I’m a bit fucked in the head sometimes, but then again, I’m sure most people do. I love how I can read about a really gory crime scene and just be like “huh, ok.” But I’m afraid of touching content where people have to actually process their emotions and deal with consequences. I fear it while also hate when people in fiction don’t get affected after watching their families die.
Then there’s a piece of fanfiction that’s like, “this guy got skinned and had his organs removed while he was alive! The killer made his skin look like wings! The killer is also a religious cannibal with more than 26 murders in 6 months! His eldest son is a killer and cannibal that likes to decapitate his victims, who believes that bloodshed is honour. He’s also the protagonist’s coworker, they work for the FBI. The youngest son killed and ate his best friend’s stomach, because he believed the world wasn’t worthy of said best friends. He also force fed the protagonist his best friend’s lungs.” And I’m just like “oh lol ok”
Or sometimes when a I read gross out horror like body horror, I end up just appreciating it like an art piece in an art gallery. Which makes sense cuz I do enjoy body horror sculptures that could be found in art museums or smt. Like the one grease manga comic, the one where a family of people are obsessed with grease or whatever? I’m not sure if it’s the dialogue that’s scary because I read a version in a foreign language. But like, the images aren’t really bad, kinda just the type of stuff that makes you wanna go “ok, that’s was something. Anyways-“
It’s only ever like this when it’s gore in a podcast, book/articles/written work, or just things that don’t force you to look at the real thing or an attempt at making it look real. Or gross out in comic, manga, art work, written work, sculpture and, actually most gross out stuff is fine as long as it’s not the actual thing in front if me, (like if it’s body horror then I get grossed out when someone actually starts growing wings and antlers)
But the second a character feels guilty for killing their friend while either dissociating or sleep walking, I become too uncomfortable to keep reading it. People feel emotions, I feel emotions, I shouldn’t have such a problem with people feel negative emotions. Why do I feel like this?
25 years ago an unknown Chinese protester stood in front of a tank in defiance of the government. No one knows the identity of the man but he was given the nick name “Tank Man”. This is one of the most iconic photographs of the century.

William Oliver Afton
-Not very expressive
-Shows his affection through his actions
-Was raised to kill
-Doesn’t enjoy killing, but doesn’t hate it either.
- Not every in touch with his emotions
- He doesn’t go to hell after dying, since it wasn’t his fault he was they way he was. But he doesn’t go to heaven either because he still committed many sins. That’s why his wings look like that.
- Loves his family
- Basically immune to pain
- It’s almost impossible to scare this man
- Basically adopted the missing kids by accident
Hey I Totally Forgot to Ask What Was Your Williams Childhood Like?
Oh it was a literal HELL.
His mother, Evelyn, was a psychopath. She wanted him to be just like her as well. The best way to do that was to break him completely, then pick up the pieces and rebuild him as her successor. His dad, Oliver, didn’t want that for their son, and he did everything he could to protect William. A small part of him still loved his wife, so he tried to reason with her. But she was too far gone, she said they could be together forever. Then she kissed him, while striking him straight through the heart with a knife. She took a syringe and extracted his remnant (That’s right! She was the first to discover remnant). William was there too, she showed him the syringe containing his father’s remnant. To make matters worse she preserved Oliver’s body, so he had to look at the remains of his dear dad. The only person protecting him from falling into his mother’s poisonous control. That alone took a toll on his sanity. Also, Clay and Roselle were hiding when it happened. So they saw what happened as well. They knew what William had to deal with in his life. Evelyn proceeded to torment him, Physically, Mentally, Emotionally. She would talk to him about remnant sometimes, how it could be used. And William listened, he really didn’t have a choice anyway. This continued for years, until Roselle let him stay with her in the summer of 7th grade. Clay and Roselle tried to report all this to the police, but when they got to the house, she was gone. They did find Oliver’s body, and were able to have a proper funeral. William was able to maintain his sanity. However, no amount of therapy would be able to erase what his mother did to him.
Sadly, we all know he wasn’t able to maintain his sanity for long. Not after the deaths of his youngest children and his wife that’s helped him get through all those years of torment.
could we get some background information about Clara (or whoever William married in your au)?
Mhm!
Roselle Sebastian/Afton
She was always a kind girl. Very headstrong as well. She lived in Hurricane for as long as she can remember. She had a loving family overall, but her sister passed away in a school shooting when she was in 6th grade. They were close, so that hurt her badly. She learned to move on eventually, with the help of her parents.
She met Clay Burke at school one day. They became friends quickly. He knew about her loss and always tries to comfort her whenever she thought about it. He wanted to be a law enforcer to prevent this kinda stuff from happening. Then they met William. They were the only good things in their life at the time.
They were the BEST FRIEND SQUAD. Although Roselle started to develop some feelings for William. Clay would always tease her for it.
Eventually they get together in high school, and get married years later.
Oof. I mean I get it I would angry if someone killed my daughter! or someone I loved. but Give The Man A Second Chance! Let Em Explain! I would if I were in henry’s place.
Yeah, but that’s not what makes him a huge jerk.
You see, Michael was still young at the time. William was just supposed to free the souls and move on. However that’s not what happened. After William’s death, Henry told Mike that he left town without telling anyone. Then he took Mike in and continued to raise him.
He basically told the kid that his dad abandoned him. That is a dick move right there.
Could We Have Any Info About Elizabeth Afton?
Of course!
Elizabeth is a sweet child, but can be intimidating. Especially after she becomes Circus Baby. Of course, she was close with William, and shared many similarities with him personality wise. She is protective of her siblings, especially Norman. She’s also smarter than she looks, she found out William was a murderer before she died, but didn’t tell anyone.
Her personality changed a lot after becoming Circus Baby. She was more serious, intimidating, and was controlling of the other Funtimes. She knew Michael was the technition at the facility, but, due to her insanity, she went through with her plan nonetheless. After being ejected from Ennard, Elizabeth ran into Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie, who told her of her father’s fate. That’s when she started searching for him.
Michael Oliver Afton
• Used to bully Norman a lot as a teenager
•Looked up to his father
•Was very close with William
•Somtimes he helped his father build animatronics
•Came up with the idea of Foxy
•After the Bite of 83, he became distant and sad
•He and Elizabeth became close during that time, as she was not mad at him.
•After the deaths of his mother and sister, he fell into a depression of some sort.
•Wears the Foxy mask to remember the good days. It also makes him feel safe.
•After the events of SL he tries to find his father, but isn’t aware that he died in the springlock suit.
Summary — Cirque du Fleur, a beautiful and amazing place where you can go and find fun!
Unfortunately, not everything is beautiful in that circus, maybe on stage they are funny and kind, but behind the scenes they are totally different. And that Soleil will learn the hard way.
Warning — violence, death, minor protagonist, toxic relationship, harassment, forced relationship, supernatural.
Original work masterlist | Prologue: Cirque Du Fleur — next chapter(coming soon)
This work is available on Wattpad.
The lights illuminated the circus stage, it was the favorite part of the circus visitors, the act of the hoops, where the sweet dancer crosses through the hoops and begins to dance with them around her body.
While the other dancers spin around her with more hoops as they throw them into the air and then catch them while dancing on pointe like her.
But unfortunately, for them, none of that happened that day, because the dancer had broken her leg during practice and the doctors said that she would not be able to dance like before. For which she was officially out of the artistic activities of the circus.
With that inconvenience, the circus needed a new dancer for everyone's favorite act, because this was the one that made the masses come to see the circus and everything now depended on finding the perfect substitute who managed to capture the essence of elegance. in his dance, but also an incredible artistic demonstration.
That is what the young Leroux Soleil managed to prove, not only is she perfect at what she does, but her appearance captivates people. Her wavy sweet ginger-colored hair, her beautiful green eyes and her white skin added a beautiful touch to her appearance, plus her small body her thin and fragile arms and legs that gave her an air of innocence.
Unfortunately, not everything is beautiful in that circus, maybe on stage they are funny and kind, but behind the scenes they are totally different. And that Soleil will learn the hard way.

Prologue: Cirque du Fleur
Warning: religion, violence implicite, murder, platonic relationship, limb amputation, main character death, post-manor.
Since you were little you were always told that there was only one God, that there was no one else but him and that all the other gods that people praised were pagan gods, beings that did not really exist and that they were blasphemy and those who believed in other gods were sinners . It sounded so stupid, people who believed in the existence of other gods.
Wouldn't they think the same of the beliefs of others?
You know why they told you about that, they didn't want you to believe in another god, specifically the supposed goddess who lived in the same town, Grace, the adopted daughter of a family.
From the moment that Grace had arrived in town, the drought had ended, at that time you were not yet born.
You had watched as a group of children chased after a girl, Grace, maybe a year or two older than you. You watched from the legania, as they were sneaking out, with morbid curiosity of how all this would end, you decided to follow them.
You hid behind some trees, analyzing the situation, it seemed that Grace had gotten into a lake, the children who were chasing her were on the shore, telling her things that you were not able to hear from a distance.
You waited a long time, until they left, leaving little Grace alone. You watched a little longer, waiting for her to come out of the water but she just didn't.
"If you don't get out of there, you'll shrivel up like a dried fruit."
Grace turned towards the shrill voice, looked at another child, somewhat younger than her.
She just watched, didn't say anything, just watched the child carefully.
"Can't you talk?" Asked.
She did not answer.
You analyzed what you got to see of his appearance, his wavy hair with a strange color, but not only that was what caught your attention, but also the gills on his neck.
Grace noticed that you were looking at her gills, she quickly hid in the water up to below her nose.
"If you think I came to bother you like them, no, I was just curious to see you."
Her eyes widened, somewhat surprised.
"I heard from my parents that most of the town believes that you are a deity or something. They want me to stay away from you." You looked down at your tiny feet. "It's kind of silly, isn't it?"
You didn't know when, but Grace had come to the edge of the lake, curious as to what you had to say.
You looked her straight in the eye, making her a little nervous.
"Want to be friends?" You extended your hand to her, expecting her to take it.
Grace looked doubtfully at your outstretched hand, it was like that for a long time. Maybe she didn't want friends and she preferred her solitude, you were about to lower her hand when she took it.
You looked at her with a big smile.
Since then, you and Grace would see each other secretly from your parents, you knew what would happen if they discovered you.
At first Grace kept a distance between you and her, she still didn't fully trust you, it was understandable.
You were trying to gain Grace's trust through gifts, things you found around that were interesting to you and so you thought that maybe Grace would be interested in it.
Perhaps a flower, a dead insect or an object that people threw away because it no longer served them.
To Grace, you were someone… weird, and she liked that.
"What do you think Grace of this?" You showed him a butterfly, perched on your ring finger, with slightly torn wings.
Little by little, your relationship with Grace was improving, she already had enough trust in you.
And with that, the years passed, Grace was already bigger and her beauty stood out.
There were still people who saw Grace as a miracle child. And your parents still believed that she was blasphemous.
Everything had gone normally during those years, until that day came…
Unfortunately, all good things had to come to an end.
It started when the drought started once again, I was seeing shortages in fishing again and people only saw one person to blame, Grace.
Everyone turned against her, the people who believed that there was only one God, including your parents, excused that the drought had returned since they had made the true God angry and he had punished them for such an offense and that the only way that this will forgive them was to give him a sacrifice, to the false goddess, Grace.
You put yourself in front of the scared Grace, she had been caught in a fishing net and she couldn't escape they were completely surrounded. It only remained to try to make people see reason, but they did not want to listen.
They called you an accomplice of the false goddess, they decided that God needed not only one sacrifice… but two, the false goddess and her blasphemous companion.
Your parents did not object, they saw with absolute shame how their own descendant had decided to choose to follow the fraud and that you deserved the same punishment as her.
People did not hesitate, they threw you to the ground, they took out a butcher knife with a worn and rusty edge.
"No! No! No! ” you shook desperately, trying to free your limbs, they held tighter. You watched in fear as tears fell along with the cold sweat on your body as the weapon was raised.
"We will start with the blasphemous companion, so that the phony can see what awaits her."
“Grace! ”
The butcher knife hurtled down toward your feet, slamming into the bone, shredding the meat in the process.
A cry of pain escaped your mouth, you jerked faster, just like a fish out of water, trying to jump away.
From the small space that allowed you to see the bodies that supported you, you saw Grace. She cried, seeing how you suffered, without being able to do anything.
"Grace-" Another blow from the knife to your feet made you yell louder. Losing eye contact with Grace.
It went on like this over and over again, until finally your feets were ripped off your legs, following these, they shredded them until they were completely useless.
At some point you stopped feeling pain, you could hardly hear anything and your vision was blurred by tears.
Your suffering was not enough for people, they took your face in their hands forcing you to see how they did the same to Grace.
Everything was so unlucky, why? God, if you exist… Why do you allow this to happen? What fault do we have? Do we not matter to you? You are so cruel…
At some point, they had tied you and Grace to an anchor, you couldn't think what they would do anymore. Why an anchor? What will they do?
The strong impact of the water hitting your body and Grace's awakened your senses one last time, the cold water sent chills throughout your body, your amputated legs left a trail of blood in the water, the contact of your wounds with the water it burned It was extremely irritating, you just wanted it all to be over at once.
You felt the water in your lungs, slowly losing consciousness and the last thing on your mind was Grace, you couldn't see her, only her hair moving in the water.
Your hand trailed towards Grace's hand, trying to intertwine your fingers with hers.
Slowly everything turned black, it was cold, too cold, that annoying beep intensified and you didn't feel anything. Unfortunately you didn't feel how Grace's fingers joined between yours and little by little they began to change…
It was fun while it lasted.
Momo: Hey Aira can you come over and help me with something
Aira: Momo, I haven't seen you in five years. I have college, I have a job, I have a girlfriend, I live practically on the other side of Japan. I can't just drop everything to help you with some...
Momo: I tracked down the human trafficking ring that kidnapped Acro Silky's daughter and I'm going to avenge their deaths
Aira, parkouring over rooftops with her powers: I'll be there in 5 minutes
In light of barbenheimer I’ve been thinking a lot about what people who genuinely enjoyed both would like, and this is at the top of the list
Voodoo4Dummies
Wanda x y/n
Agatha x Wanda (friends only)
Nat + yelena + y/n (sisters)
Y/N gets killed on a mission, leaving her one true love, Wanda to deal with the consequences. Throughout the weeks after Y/N’s death, Wanda seeks out help from her old friend Agatha, in which they stumble upon multiple books, the Dark Hold, The Manual of Witchcraft and Alchemy and Voodoo for Dummies.
WANDAS POV
“im closing in on the room with the, what did you call it tasha? a goober?” Y/N’s voice echoing through the earpiece which allows the team to speak to one another during missions, with a hint of sarcasm she speaks in her Russian accent. Following this Natasha chuckles into her earpiece and following up with “shut it y/n/n, get the USB and get out”
I smile at the interaction they share while fighting off another round of hydra agents.
“Uh guys. So I took the USB out of the computer and now there’s a timer on the screen. i- I think it’s a bomb” y/n announces with a tremble clear in her voice
“hey, hey no malysh, cmon, it’s okay just get as far away from that room as possible, what floor are you on?” Yelena says in a comforting tone, recognising the fear in her baby sisters voice
“Fuck I don’t know Lena, but it’s high maybe 5th floor from what I can see” my heart sinks, memories of Pietro’s death flood back into my brain, she can’t die like this. I can’t loose her. “My love come on, just keep running please” I plead with her, I can hear her heavy breathing through the earpiece.
One I manage to get outside, all the hydra agents on sight are dead and the whole team are out front looking at the door waiting for one of Y/N’s last minute miracles, she always gets into trouble on missions because she is careless with her life, always diving head first into trouble and unlike any normal person she always ends up surviving. It’s an ongoing joke that her power is luck.
I run over to Natasha and turn to the building in hopes y/n runs outside and into my arms. Tony points up to a window “what is she doi…*BANG*”
the whole team falls to the floor in attempt to cover from the flames that burst out of the building. We all watch as Y/N jumps through the window of the 5th floor, her body on an incline toward the floor, a scream rips from both mine and Yelena’s lungs as our y/n hits the floor in one swift motion, her small frame, slumped against a car, her head hung low, her tactical goggles covering her eyes, her raven curls covering the remaining surface of her face.
Everyone stumbles to their feet to get to y/n, yelena making it to her first, falling to her knees and holding her younger sisters lifeless head up in her hands, she cursed under her breath as the rest of the avengers huddle up around the two, i kneel next to yelena with panic. “Is she awake?” I say in a sense of urgency as I lift up my girlfriends tactical goggles off her eyes, her head still resting in yelenas hands.
That’s when it hits me.
I cant hear her heartbeat, I lift my hand up, my palm just in front of her face, my fingers grazing over her forehead. Strands of red magic float around her head.
“i- I can’t feel you” I say in a whisper to y/n before looking around “I can’t feel her” I announce to the group in panic “why can’t I feel her?” I say as Natasha pulls my body into hers, wrapping her arms around me as tears cascade down my face. Yelena starts to gently slap Y/N’s face “come on little one, this isn’t fucking funny, wake up. Wake up y/n, WAKE UP” Yelena’s screams can be heard from anyone, probably even from universes away.
“wake up, come on Wanda, wake up your having a nightmare” I am shook awake, my eyes flutter open as my body is shook by my best friend Agatha, she looks down at me with fear in her eyes. I rub my eyes, tears staining my black stained fingers, I slowly lift my body into a sitting position opposite Agatha. “Oh hun, it’s okay, we will find her body and bring her back, just like we said, yes?” Agatha says in a hopeful yet reassuring tone of voice. I nod slowly knowing today is the day I am to go to S.W.O.R.D headquarters to talk to general Hayward about Y/N’s body.
- time skip -
I walk into S.W.O.R.D headquarters with a plan and an right to commit to my plan.
“Ah yes, hello miss Maximoff. Here to see general Hayward? Right this way, let me get this door for you” a man on front desk greets me but I know where I need to be “I’ve got it but thanks” I say interrupting the kind man as I use my powers to open the door.
Once in Haywards office he greets me with a nod “hello miss Maximoff” he smiles “okay yes I know your here for your girlfriends body but I’m sorry to inform you, she’s the government’s property” i tilt my head in anger knowing he would say something like this, and because of that me and Agatha came up with a plan, I would distract him while Agatha goes in and teleports Y/N’s body back to the house we share. “If it where that the two of you had married before her death then I would of been allowed to hand over her body to you” that one hit a nerve, the night my love died I was planning to propose to her after our weekly movie night. After a breif moment of silence I went to speak, just as the radio attached to Haywards fancy suit blazer goes off “general Hayward, the mutants body has been compromised” I smile a little knowing they meant Y/N, however she wasn’t a mutant she just… well she was a mutant, but she wore a power dampener in fear she would hurt the ones she loved, I remember her staying up for weeks upon end in the lab making the stupid gadget, she would stay up until she passed out in someone’s arms. My thoughts are broken as I see Hayward run out of the room, I chuckle knowing she is already at the house, I drive back to mine and Agatha’s small house quickly with excitement radiating off my body.
Once entering the driveway, i quickly get out of the car and run into the house, without wasting time, I go straight to the basement, throwing my overcoat off my body, Agatha already has your body upon the medical table we built. “You ready hun?” She says in a comforting voice
I grab the only book that had gotten me and Agatha any progress. We had tried the Dark Hold but this book, voodoo for dummies was a remake of a old witches book from the 1600s a spell for reincarnation had been left opened in the book. I smile at Agatha and nod. We had done this spell many of times in the last week, we would kill people before bringing them back, it would work.
Agatha on one side of the table, me on the other, we lit candles and as much as it hurt me to do we had to carve runes into your skin, we started on your arms, carving over your scars, then we had to rip your shirt and I had to carve over your heart. Once we finished we started chanting in Latin. After a few minutes your body started to shake as if you where having a seizure I pressed my hands down onto your freezing shoulders and held you down. all of a sudden your body went limp again and Agatha threw the book “what a crock of shit” she curses. And turns around to pace the room.
I sigh and look down at your body, caressing your cheek lightly, this is when your eyes flutter open slowly, “my love?” I say quietly as Agatha quickly spins around to look at what I’m talking to. “oh my, Wanda she’s alive, she’s alive” Agatha nearly shouts.
