A Credence Barebones imagine/headcannon blog. FEEL FREE TO SEND IN SOME IMAGINES (Let me know if you'd rather be kept anonymous when i respond to your asks)
Here’s my comeback and oldie but a goodie of a request
Screaming.
It’s all you hear, and honestly you can’t fully tell where yours start and his end. Right in front of you, Credence was being blasted by at least thirty MACUSA agents. The grip on your wand so tight you were afraid you'd break it just as your legs had already folded and left you on the ground as tears began to roll down your cheeks. All you had wanted was to speak to Credence that earlier when you saw him be slapped by a strange man and followed them to an abandoned building. The things they were speaking of were shocking but no more so than your crush turning into a cloud of smoke and running loose on the city. As you did your best to follow him into the subways a showdown commenced between the stranger from before and a new one wearing a blue coat, spells were ricocheting and crumbling the walls while you tried to slink your way toward Credence
When the dust cleared after the agents blasted him apart and Seraphina took control of the situation it took a few throat clearings from the man in the blue coat who noticed you hiccupping and looking at the few last wisps fading away to catch your attention. "D-did..." he trailed off almost unsure as to how to address or even start to console your shaking form "Were you close to the Barebones boy?" Not trusting your voice to work you just mutely nodded your head trying to remember what it was like to breathe normally now that your lungs couldn't seem to take in a full breath.
"If you wanted...the rain will help you forget what’s just occurred " the man, almost meekly for his stature commented and awkwardly offer you a hand up
"As if... this will be all over tomorrow’s edition pf The Ghost; and i would never want to forget Credence" you readily affirmed and got up on shaky legs.
"Well thank you anyway Mr... "you trailed off waiting for him to introduce himself
"Ah! Newt. Scammander, Newt Scammander."He rushed almost embarrassed in introducing himself so late into the conversation. "A pleasure, Mr. Scammander” you responded as you introduced yourself almost cracking a small smile as his formality reminded you of the first time Credence worked up the bravado to speak to you.
"If it's alright with you, I think I'll be heading home now". You turned to apparate but spared a glance back to whisper a sincere thanks to Newt for attempting to deter Graves now revealed to be Grindelwald from getting to Credence before apparating back to your apartment
You were ready to curl up and just about cry your eyes out when you noticed that you weren't alone and that whoever was with you made a mess of your living room. And the huddled-up tangle of limbs on your carpet was crying. As you inched closer and tried not to scare it-Him you corrected yourself quickly not wanting to let your nerves truly show how much you hoped Credence was truly here after what seemed like his cruel death. “Cr-Credence...” he seemed to jolt at your whisper, dark smoke almost engulfing him for a few seconds before he dared lift his head and panicked eyes seemed to sweep your abode before locking on yours. A small whimper is all he could utter before falling at your feet as he tried to get up to move towards you. Seeing this you fall to your knees to embrace him as he shivered in your arms not only from the end of the adrenaline that helped him survive the events of that evening but also at the vulnerability he was expressing being in your arms as bare as the day he was born. Nothing to impede the skin to skin contact that was always desired under better conditions.
“Don’t worry Credence” you cradled his head to look into his eyes “I’m getting you out of here” you assured him with a kiss on his forehead. As he curled into your body he feels safer than he’s ever been.
The next morning the two of you were boarding the first boat out of America, and if the man in the blue coat happed to spot you sitting with a man practically swimming in a dark coat and hat you would only look back and tap your lips with a small secretive smile.
So I don't really talk much on the blog but I guess I’ll explain my recent absence. So I live in Puerto Rico and well as you might know we just went through a terrible hurricane. My family and friends are ok but I’ve only just gotten electricity back this week (stable electricity as of like yesterday).
But I've seen some new followers with some really rad urls if I do say so myself and even tho I still don't feel my writing is all that I’ll keep trying to write something for all of you and see what happens when the new movie comes out (´ ꒳ ` ✿)
Yo I just had a thought, you don't have to write about it. Credence and a show girl (Flapper? Dancer? Party Child?), this could only go to 3 ways: a disaster, super funny, or adorableness
Super cute idea I want to explore all three possibilities
Disaster: Probably happens if it were during his time with Mary Lou she’s horrible enough to punish him for being distracted by any pretty person even more so if it was someone considered provocative.
Super Funny: I want this to go either of two ways a- you get like the anime chiche of tripping and falling onto someone is a provocative way (if you were a girl it would probably be straight into your boobs. ooorrrr b- its the walking past someone so beautiful that you get distracted and end up falling and embarrass yourself in front of them.
Adorable: the struggle is rEaL my dude. His eyes are flittering about trying to avoid staring at you but he just cant stop how his eyes keep being drawn back to your curves/exposed skin and you can tell he wants to be respectful but also thats he’s visibly flustered.
Can you please do an imagine where your getting threatened or hurt by someone and Credence turns into his obscurial form and ends up protecting you
Honestly you could have taken care of it yourself, but you were still equal parts amazed and proud of how Credence moved to defend you. You had invited him to come with you as you ran some errands to make sure that Newts apothecary would be well stocked for their travels and you figured that the both of you could get some new clothes for the changes in climate and his now fuller figure since he’s been with you. And some overly confident but clearly unknowing muggles tried to corner the both of you as you prepared to apparate in a quiet alley. And not only threatened you but also insinuated that you would be willing and interested in running off with them for some “fun”.
Just as you were about to discreetly take out your wand to use a stunning charm before making a quick escape but were surprised when Credence moved towards the space between you and them and stares them down. After what felt like an eternity of an intense stare down the minute one of the men moved forward and thats when all hell broke loose. A whirlwind of shadows enveloped the alley and before you knew it the two of you were alone once more.
“well then...I think its time to head back home now” you whisper soothingly as you place a quick peck on his cheeks as you apparate back home.
He really shouldn’t be here. The continuous mantra of his discomfort since the very moment he realized just where this supposed “party” he’d been dragged along for as a favor to Mr. Scamm-Newt he quickly corrected himself remembering how his new friend kept reassuring him that it was okay to refer to him by his name. It all had started when Newts older brother sent the invitations for his wedding and for a, and I quote “small get together”. And now here they were both equally uncomfortable at the back tables of the Speakeasy they were unknowingly taken to. Although it did seem like Newt was attempting to ease his nerves much over his own, for which Credence couldn’t begin to express how much he appreciated all that his new friend had done for him. If the night had proceeded with just the two of them making small talk and look down from the stage at just the right time for the dancers to loose one too many articles of clothes. Honestly the performances weren’t bad, quite the contrary they were breathtaking but Credence’s own set of beliefs made him shy away from looking upon the bodies of strangers the way the other men and women in the showroom were. But when Newts brother came up and sweep him away to introduce him to some work friends of his and pulled Credence towards one of the center tables so that he “wouldn’t be alone for long” thats when things started to go downhill for Credence. Stuck on his own and having a center seat to the next performance but still too anxious to move on his own towards the back tables, ‘what if he moved and Newt couldn’t find him’ he reasoned as he slowly settled into his new seating almost seemingly attempting to hide into himself, almost like a turtle. As expected the next performance started as the light dimmed down to a single spotlight soft music starts to play, much slower than the last, a piano ballad commenced and Credence could swear there was the faint smell of soap and flowers.
“Rise and fall Silver moon tide erased my foot prints
Then I picked up broken scales
Stuck them to my tail “
A single performer appeared on the enchanted stage which now resembled a glamorous bathroom and center stage was a young woman within a large bathtub. The soft chalk like colors surrounding them making the brilliance of the jewels adorning them almost hypnotic.
“ Ah~ If love truly makes you blind
Then I guess There is no need
I’ll trade my eyes So you can see for me”
This performance was much more delicate than the ones before it. Showing more of an innocent view towards sensuality, using the water and suds to show a softer side of burlesque and making sure to leave the audience wanting more. Your routine had it own dare he say magical aspect to it, and not just because you literally had a mermaid tail at the beginning of your performance and now your slowly sticking up your very much human legs. The sight quite literally robbed him oh his breath, watching the water and bubbles run down your legs was almost too much for him. He couldn’t look away it felt like you were calling out to him and the rest of the world didn’t matter anymore.
“ And then I gave you my eyes
To see all the colours
And then I gave you my ears
To hear all the sirens And then I gave you my heart
To fill in the emptiness chest And then I gave you my brain
So that you can learn to love”
Nearing the end of your performance you were almost entirely out of bubbles to pop and Credence could now clearly see the long row of pearls curled around your neck and reaching down your curves as you deliberately bended over giving the audience a view of your backside as you stepped out of the tub and softly sashayed your way across the stage towards the edge. And now only a foot of distance between you and him and Credence couldn’t control the butterflies in his stomach, much less his erratic heartbeat. You must have noticed his flushed face because at the end of the song you blew a kiss in his direction and heart shaped bubbles glided in his direction. It took a few minutes for Credence to come back down to earth at being noticed by someone as beautiful as you, Newt literally had to place his hand on his shoulder and shake him a bit in order for Credence to even notice that Newt was next to him. “Well…wasn’t that quite the showstopper” Newt teased seeing how you had quite literally left his friend speechless. “I’ll be honest with you Credence this "bathtub mermaid” aesthetic is nice and all but real sirens-“ Credence was only halfway paying attention to Newt ramble about his experiences with sirens back at Hogwarts during his youth seeing as how he was still on cloud nine. It wasn’t until an elf brought their table a bubbling pink drink and placed in front of him that they both noticed someone else was at their table trying to catch their attention.
"Excuse me, but- um.. I didn’t order this” Credence almost mumbled as he tried to find his voice. “I know” the house elf curtly replied “Its from her” he answered with a dismissive point of his head behind him as he walked away. As both Credence and Newt curiously followed his departure they turned to see you at the bar sending a smile and a wave of your hand. “Unexpected and yet completely expected…well are you going to go to her? Newt turned to look at Credence who already seemed like he was itching to go over to you. ” You wouldn’t mind?“ He questioned "Of course not!” Newt reassured “Go ahead I’ll be here and make sure Theseus doesn’t do anything too stupid, or at least that I’m there to witness when he does” Newt chuckled as Credence took a deep breath and slowly walked over to you, almost tripping over his own feet in his nerves. “Hello…” he blanked out on what to say so nervous that it was a miracle he was even able to open his mouth. You were more clothed now, in a long flowing dress that practically pooled at your feet and made you look almost ethereal. “Hello to you too” you laughed softly as you introduced yourself and invited his to sit next to you and started to talk to him Credence decided he wouldn’t let this be the last time he got to see you.
Mod edit: ugh mobile fucked up my shit lol. Fixed it up so now its be more comfortable to read.
also forgot to mention the song is Bathtub Mermaid by Mili (an absolute favorite of mine)
Gearing up for illustrations for @jeffgoldblumsmulletinthe90s/intravenusann‘s Gradence/Gravebone magnum opus by drawing a million Credences. It’s my ode to Ezra Miller’s nose and jawline.
Its not uncommon for your boyfriend to sometimes curl up against you and the wisps of his obscurus sort of sneak out. But this is the first time he’s practically “melted” on you. It had been a slow day and you’d decided to stay inside lest the oncoming rain clouds catch you far from your now shared and perfectly cozy abode.
You’d been absentmindedly running your fingers through his (thankfully) longer hair when you noticed your hand sink deeper that it should have. When you looked over you had to hold back from cooing over how your boyfriend had mostly turned into his obscural form in his sleep and how the little wisps had started trying to find your hands so you could continue petting them. Which (of course)you did since it was just adorable how even his obcurial side wanted to be as close as possible to you. And judging from how the wisps curled around your arm you’d be stuck petting him for a while.
If Credence grew out the bowl cut 😝
Sorry that I’m not super active on here, I basically only post my finished stuff here and finishing things is… Difficult 😂
