Masterlist of Fanfiction

I write mostly in two specific AUs, so here’s a list of fics broken down into which they belong (because it gets confusing when you mix them up, trust me I done it too much, lol) plus those that do not fit into them, and some teasers for what I’ve got working on (but don’t get your hopes up on them too soon because boy don’t we know how my writing muse is a flighty lil fucker).

Saecula Saeculorum:

Ab Imo Corde Meo - in progress | chapters 12/? | E | Ember(Dewdrop)/Aether | The story of a young ghoul who witnesses the changing of an era and uncovers some of the secrets the Church of Ghost hold.

Ashes in the Water - finished | chapters 1/1 | E | Rain/Blaze(Multi/Swiss army ghoul) |  A story on how a certain odd little water ghoul came to join the band, and how the multi-instrumentalist ghoul becomes attached to him.

Sweet Talk - finished | drabble | E | Rain/Blaze |  Blaze and Rain on the couch, things get heated.

Flood and Flame - finished | chapters 3/3 | M | Rain/Blaze, multiple pairings |  A story on how Blaze and Rain came to be themselves, and become further entwined with each other.

Riptide - finished | chapters 1/1 | M |  Rain/Blaze | sequel to Flood and Flame |  Scrying into the depths of the aether is best left to those trained in the art, as there can be dire consequences for the untrained.

Asphyxia - finished | chapters 3/3 | E | Rain/Blaze |  Breaking things is easy. Putting them back together? Not so much.

The Symmetry of Arrogance and Grace - in progress | chapters 3/? | M | Alpha/Omega |  The war between Heaven and Hell has claimed the lives of untold numbers and broken many things beyond repair. But sometimes, something new is wrought in the smoking ashes.

A Sickness I Used to Know - finished | chapters 1/1 | E | Alpha/Omega |  It was, unfortunately, a fact of life for them: the children of God struck down, their Divinity broken and Splendor stripped from their souls. For their spirit to cry out for that which was taken from them, to bleed and wallow in anguish till they could no longer bear it and took their own life. Alpha fought against it tooth and claw, unwilling to let his mate succumb to it whenever it reared its ugly head and did its best to pull his Omega away from him.

Side Effects May Vary - in progress/sorta abandoned? | chapters 2/? | E | Ember/Aether | “Where the fuck,” the fire ghoul screeches, eyes wide in panic, “Is my goddamn cock?” (In which Ember has seasonal allergies and has Earth make him a potion to get rid of them. It does not go well.)

Life Eternal :

Would You Let Me Touch Your Soul Forever? - finished | chapters 10/10 | E | Omega/Rain |  As a newly summoned ghoul, Rain has trouble with adapting to life on Earth, most notably communication. Omega takes it upon himself to offer help, taking the water ghoul under his wing. However, the closer they become, they find that things are not quite what they seem…

What You Were Will Fade Away - in progress | chapters 5/? | G | multiple background pairings |  To attain the position of Cardinal was a feat in and of itself, and if Vincenzo Copia wished to ascend to the throne of Antipope, he must learn to use every possible advantage and bit of knowledge he could gain. So he turns to the most overlooked fount of information the clergy has to offer: the ghouls.

Maybe I Bury My Freedom - in progress | chapters 5/? | E | Dewdrop/Aether, Dewdrop/Rain, implied Aether/Copia | Dewdrop-centric fic taking place during the last chapter of Would You Let Me Touch Your Soul Forever? |  Nothing really puts things into perspective quite like nearly dying from a massive head injury. It certainly showed him that perhaps he hasn't done such a good job of things like he thought, and that there were indeed repercussions to his actions. Dewdrop just hopes he can come out of it in one piece.

I’ll Be Your Warmth - finished | G | Dewdrop/Aether |  Touring was never easy, was oftentimes grueling, tireless work. Aether knows this, accepts it readily, but not even he is immune to what the weariness can do to the mind.

Kintsugi - finished | E | Dewdrop/Aether |  Like this, Dewdrop was beautiful; his lithe form and unabashedly wanton expression a sculptor's dream. Aether can just barely make out the soft, near unrecognizable sound of Dewdrop’s voice, the words unintelligible yet the hitch and stutter of it giving all the meaning one would need to understand. So many little details like this are what Aether loves, finding these small things that only those closest to him would be given the chance to observe. His lips pull into a grin as he’s filled with self-satisfaction, another confirmation of a job well done feeding the insatiable need that pushed him to the limits of his abilities and beyond, demanding that he do what others could not, that he was the one that could mend anything.

Bitter and Sweet - finished | T | Dewdrop/Aether |  There were many words he could use to describe Aether. So many, in fact, that he normally had trouble remembering them all without repeating at least two.

Drabbles, ficlets, random bits not following the AICM verse or Life Eternal verse:

900 Seconds of Sin - finished | E | Dewdrop/Rain, Rain/Multi, Dewdrop/Aether |  How to Blow One of Your Fellow Ghouls in 15 Minutes or Less, or Your Money Back.

Mismatch - finished | G | Mountain/Swiss | soft SwissAlps fluff inspired by and written for @monstrancecok

Catch Me If You Can - finished | G |  Dewdrop is bored now that they aren't on tour, and ropes Rain into a seemingly innocent game of tag to occupy themselves. Gift for @ciriceart for the Ghost BC Spring 2020 Gift Exchange.

A Little Game - finished | E | Mercury/Rain | Mercury decides to have a bit of fun with Rain. (based off an RP alternate universe)

Here Comes the Sun - finished | E | Papa III (Terzo)/Omega |  My gift for @retrocatastrophy for the Ghost BC Christmas 2020 gift exchange! They asked for Papa III and Omega angst, concerning Omega's departure from the band in 2016. So here is some lovely, smutty angst 💙

Unpublished in progress for Life Eternal verse:

Leave 'em Burning And Then You're Gone (working title) - Special and Cowbell backstory and more worldbuilding | T

Within Your Heart, A Story To Be Told - Omega backstory and Hell worldbuilding | M

It Ain’t Always What It Seems | Swiss/Mountain | an excuse for unbridled fluff

Reverence (working title) - Dewdrop/Aether | straight up porn with a tiny bit of character exploration | E

Reconstruction (working title) | Dewdrop/Aether | my attempt at the ‘magical healing cock’ trope | E

Untitled - Dewdrop/Aether | Angst, character study, dom/sub, Dewdrop being jealous that Aether is spending more and more time with Copia | E

Untitled - Papa III/Ifrit | Character study of Papa III, and some exposition on Ifrit | currently undecided on rating

Layers (working title) - Dewdrop/Aether | New tour, new uniforms, not-so-new Dewdrop bitching about said uniforms till Aether gets it off him and fucks him silly. | E

Call Me Little Sunshine (working title) - Sunshine backstory

GHOVIE IN AUGUST!!!

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL!!!

Idiots ♡

he’s just a lil goober

I like how my husband bought himself one of those instant photo cameras, and the vast majority of what he takes photos of are our cats and gives them to me, so I can have a giant stash of pics to share at any given moment.

And then he bought a nifty regular camera and has proceeded to take like a 100 photos of the cats already. It's cute.

Introducing: Hockey Ghoul

[rialtostation]

pacific rim fucks severely for a lot of reasons but my favorite is that it opens with "the lizard aliens are unionizing so we built robots running on the power of love to fight them you got all that right" and before you have time to really process that concept bam gunshot body on the floor and the movie goes "now consider the vast power of grief in this setup" it never really stops considering

[catgirlbignaturals]

It also has a scene where the robot uses a boat as a baseball bat. That also fucks tremendously.

[yukkeart]

creating 3D model for my next project.

I’m creating this to evoke the mood of Gothic architecture—something that’s beautiful yet eerie, rather than strictly architecturally correct.

'Eyes on me.'

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Hello Clergy!!!! I have been away from Tumblr for some years now and I remember absolutely loving and onjey your National Geographic on ghouls.

And I was wondering if there were more types ghouls in hell like:

○Light ghouls: mostly live in the desert/Sahara plains of hell and they move in tribes like nomads, and they follow the Sun as much as they can.

○Shadow ghouls: live in caves (their kinda like bats), they are nocturnal, they sleep through the day and come out at night to get with their lives, and they can not live without the moon in hell or on earth, (they have runes on their body that glow in the moonlight)

○swamp ghouls are a sub class of earth ghouls, they live in the jungle of hell, their much weaker then earth ghouls and most other too.

(That's all I have, sorry if my English isn't good)

(Your English is perfect, no worries! :) )

Thank you so much!! I always worked really hard on that series, and I'm so happy people still like! <3

I made a huge guide back in the day for the elements and sub elements. It's suuuuuuper obsolete and I desperately need to update it. Thanks to years and years of world building with my partner (and @blacklight-ghoulette, because we write together so often! *waves to Blacklight because I use a lot of our collaborative world building lol*) I actually have a different chart. And it DOES include all the ghoul types you mentioned! :)

Here is the original:

https://www.tumblr.com/ask-the-clergy-bc/184077566873/ghoul-headcanons-elements-sub-types-and-tribes

So here is a very rough updated chart, and how I included and write the ones you mentioned! <3

Note: Terms might be incomplete or nonsensical. I haven't gathered my thoughts yet to do a proper re-write with better vocabulary.

National Geographic on Ghouls

Rough Update on Elements, Sub-elements, and Mixed Type

The Main Elements and their sub-elements. Sub-elements are usually just a specific branch of a single element. Elements encompass different aspects, as you'll find in nature! Subtypes are more rare, but aren't necessarily a new element themselves? They are typically names just given to a select skillet of ghouls that aren't found in main tribes. Then there are mixed types, which is a rare phenomenon where NEW powers are discovered because of an understanding of blending parent elements.

Elements and Sub-elements:

Fire:

~Volcano Ghouls: Live in the lava fields and mountains of Hell. Known to be more aggressive in their fire use.

~Sun Ghouls: The fighters and essentially warrior class of Hell. (Example: Ifrit. Alpha is mixed of both.)

Quintessence:

~Well ghouls (Healer): Pure aether ghouls from the source of Hell's Aether (Hell's Aether Well.) Nomadic, rare, and highly sought after for their healing abilities. (Ex: Omega, Aether)

~Void ghouls: Almost extinct. Live in pocket dimensions and shadows called the 'Void'. They can completely shape shift and change matter. Bend reality. Bend perception. (Ex. Special, Miasma)

~Fortune ghouls: Also Nomadic. Are your seers, future gazers, fortune tellers, and those that can speak to the dead or other realms if powerful enough!

Water:

~Freshwater ghouls = Self explained name as you find these tribes in lakes and rivers. Are less sea-like in appearance and tend to utilize both land and water. (Ex. Rain)

~Ocean Ghouls = Live on Hell's shores and islands. Tends to have bigger teeth and fins. Strongest in salt bodies of water. (Ex. Mist and Tide).

~Deep Sea Ghouls = Normally this would be considered a sub-type, but deep sea ghouls have a completely different biology than their shallow sea counterparts. They hail from ancient ghouls and look the part! Some are literally blind from living in the depths. Their powers don't just extend to control over water or certain weather, they can break land and redirect whole currents! (Ex. Delta/Chain)

Earth

~Stone Ghouls = Ghouls that live in Mountains and work with stone itself. They are actually very tall and hard to take down! (Ex. Mountain)

~Forest Ghouls = Ghouls that have more plant based Earth abilities. They inhabit various types of forests and are known for their fertility. (Ex. Ivy)

~Plains Ghouls = A Mix of plant, stone, and soil powers. Your most commonly thought of when thinking of Earth powers. The most plentiful in Hell. They are the most middle ground of the powers, where as Forest and Stone ghouls tend to be more extreme into one or the other. (Ex. Earth)

Air

This is the one I'm reworking the most and will be fleshing out with my writing partner and @blacklight-ghoulette (So please credit Blacklight, because she let me write my own based on her idea of the four winds! :) )

North wind = Artic like ghouls that live in high mountains. Closest to the ancient bloodlines of ghouls who had their wings. Pretty much just winter gargoyles. They tend to use their powers over their environment and element to use ice attacks. (Ex. Air, Cirrus).

South wind = Known as the storm bringers! While some think they are related to water ghouls (they aren't, funnily enough) they have a huge grasp on changing weather. (Ex. Storm, Stratus)

West Wind = Are the friendliest and more bird-like mannered air ghouls. Have mastered gliding without winds. Very pack oriented. Their powers tend to focus on actual bursts of air. So they, of the four, are considered the actual WIND ghouls. (Ex. Cumulus)

East Wind = (REDACTED) Because I forgot what I wrote down for them. Whoooooops.

Subtypes of Ghouls! Or Ghouls from very specific regions or skillets that don't quality as a complete sub-type of element:

~Swamp Ghouls = Water ghouls that have adapted to swamp environments. They tend to be more Gator like!

~Shadow Ghouls = A strange set of Quintessence ghouls said to hail from a Void bloodline. While they have the mixed abilities of void and fortune ghouls, they are said to dabble more into supernatural abilities than their Fortune forebearers. Some make a habit of working with souls and the dead! (Ex. Phantom)

~ Lake ghouls

~ River ghouls = utilizes travel and exploring other tribes.

Mixed Ghoul Types! Blended of two elements:

~Metal Ghouls = Stone/Fire

~Crystal Ghouls = Stone/Quintessence (they make gems and can use said gems to amplify abilities!)

~Light Ghouls = Fire/Air (Ex. Sunshine) Some of these ghouls can even become "lightning" ghouls. Others use light beams!

~Aurora Ghouls = Quintessence/Air (Ex. Aurora)

~Ice Ghouls = Water/Air (Some Air tribes have an ice power aspect, especially southern wind tribes. But True ice ghouls DO exist.)

~Ash Ghouls = Fire/Forest

One day I'll re-write it up! For now, I hope you like the mini update!

[blacklight-ghoulette]

I might not be good at much, but at least I can design and build a 3d printed mechanism that should not have survived falling from 55,000 feet in the air and hitting the ground yet did.

I dunno how the fuck I managed it, but yeah the Sad Toaster should have basically disintegrated upon impact from falling that far without a parachute. And yet all that was wrong was some light structural damage on one side, the inside plate that the battery pack was glued to was almost torn out, we lost most pieces of the battery pack and 3 of the 4 AA batteries, and the top cover over the PCBs was nowhere to be found.

And how about the only damage on the circuitry (minus the battery pack) was that the wifi antenna on the microcontroller got ripped off? Even my wires were still set into the terminals... And the fucker turns on when I got power hooked back up to it! Hot damn I done good for once.

So. Task failed successfully, lol.

[cowbell-ghuleh]

It is finished.

[cowbell-ghuleh]

Rough test with make up

[risunsky]

One year ago I made this illustration, which I still love. It came from a simple desire to design an art nouveau style throne in oxidised metal because I love that greenish-grey colour. The Zombie Queen is the subject I've drawn the most in this universe and I think this illustration was the apotheosis. It's a repost, but it's the first time I publishe the close-ups and the alternative version with the hand-scribbled text. If you remember this artwork, I hope you still like it as much as I do.

[moronwithoutmo]

Got possessed and drew this last night

Enjoy some Dewther! (No you can’t ask why Aether isn’t wearing clothes /j)

[zanncom]
