… BRENT DOES NOT SEE HIMSELF AS A REPLACEMENT. there is no second place to be had here ( there are winners and there are losers and, well, brent is the one who ended up with daniel … and lark is the forgotten songbird who has had his voice choked out of him, who had lost his wings and his hope in one fell swoop ). brent understands hopelessness, but lark is a villain of his own making. any pity that could be spared between them is a song that neither wants to sing : even when daniel isn’t here, he haunts them.
there had been a cage with a mother and a son inside. the father existed outside of steel and bone, a ghostly remnant of his own death, a reminder that all lives came with a price tag ( are you feeling weak? brent had stolen a life with acid smears and blank eyes, a human being in exchange for a human being, mourning that comes with a physical representation : death is an ally ). ‘ are you trying to make me feel weak? you aren’t doing as well as you think. ’
The frown that sits upon thin lips is snatched away by the sneer that claws its way to the surface. Lark could not let himself feel small. The boy in scuffed converse was no sweet songbird; he was wing-plucked vulture circling over the soon-to-be bones of the other boy. He saw all, each crack in Brent’s soft exterior. No one was without their motive, the fox plays with the rabbit and pretends they are one in the same but in reality, he’s every bit the predator as him- even if he so desperately wishes he were prey.
It isn’t easy to hide his disgust for the other. It is an envy bleeding emerald over gaunt features, jade daggers clawing at the face of the boy he can barely bring himself to look upon. Lark had messed up, and here was this perfect specimen to pick up the pieces. One that wouldn’t dream of hurting Daniel, one that could give him everything the web-spun teen couldn’t. What bullshit. It would only be a matter of time before the fox had the rabbit’s heart between his jaws, it’s horrid bone puncturing sinew--- leaving vulture to pluck at the scraps left over. Lark was not content with the scraps, he would eat Daniel whole.
“Again, that’s your choice of word. Not mine.” He reminds, keeping his tone as cool as he could despite his stomach doing cartwheels. It’s hard not to perform here; a strange circus of a teen very conscious of himself. The way he folded his arms to hide his figure, to both look bigger and smaller at the same time. The way he tried to deepen his voice, tone sounding thick as it claws at his throat. He sat so uncomfortable in his own skin, reminded ever more so of that fact every time he looked at Brent.
Envy had its own little palette of greens; another shade added to the mix with each breath. He picks the survivor apart with shattered beak. Brent was handsome, far more than Lark could ever consider himself to be. His clothes didn’t hang off his frame, his shoulders filled out his shirt well. Even his voice was something the songbird wishes he could bottle up and swallow greedily. The replacement, the upgrade. He can’t help but feel this way, Daniel’s new forged flame feeling like betrayal.
“I’m not trying to make you feel like anything. Sometimes you just can’t help being the way you are. Some people are just born weak, you know? Are quite content to stew away in that for the rest of their sad little lives.” He takes a moment to swallow his smile, readjusting folded arms. “You’re certainly not weak, dude. Far from it.”

… IZZY WAS OFF WITH THE FAIRIES ( this expression had danced across her childhood, the murmuring of motherly mouths excusing her ditzy moments, explaining away a girl who lost herself in internet buzzwords and dangerous pipelines : no one ever seemed to remember that fairies were fanged creatures, clawed hounds, brutal hunters of little girls ). she had been pinned and dissected, her organs weighed and found wanting … fairies were not friendly creatures. which meant that izzy was used to the leftovers, the rotten pieces of humanity that rotted tongues to nothing. I DO NOT SPEAK OF TROUBLES, SAYS THE FAIRY - PLUCKED GIRL.
here, the world cared for her. these people would not let her be dragged away by the fairies, they would not let her die as little more than blown pollen spooling free from the dawning bud of a flower ( if she dies here, people would notice … and that is the only way to truly die : anything else is just ceaseless wandering ). ‘ perfect, ’ izzy signs with a noiseless laugh. here, they do not hear her, but they find other ways of listening to her. lark turns his hands into a voice, his palms into a throat, a killing word trapped beneath his nails : he does these things for her. she wants to curl into his hands and lay there, watching him twitch more words into the air just for her.
she has not yet learned how real danger can be, so she rests against the couch with ease, a little drop of a white - budded flower opening for him. ‘ do i visit too often? i try to make sure there’s a day between each. but days are so funny. fast and slow, all so different. ’ she draws the words quickly, fingers made for these aching movements. ‘ domi could teach you. she’s so smart. ’ friendship, fresh from the over, wrapped in a gentle blanket. ‘ can i see what’s on it? ’
Company had seldom been found in thin frame of his van; the vehicle more a home than any brick-and-water housing he’d been privy to. This was a home self-made, just as much as he was self-made (and self-destructive). Songbird had flown from the nest long ago in search for clearer skies and greener pastures, the road long and turbulent; chapters spent caged, pages turning tales of wings clipped- but now? Here he had settled in the greenest pastures of them all, the raggedy little creature left at the end of his novel was still the same bird. And what had such pasture offered? A whole flock of lambs to perch upon, soft and clean and gentle.
He does his best to catch up with her flurry of words, gathering and plucking what meaning he could from the air. Lark was by no means fluent at all, but still he sat and watched, listened. He nodded politely, eyes widening slightly at a sign he DID recognise. DOMI. “Sure. I guess.” A half-committed response dressed and laced in a gentle smile, he hopes that it’s a convincing enough gift to hide his embarrassment. He hadn’t been practicing as much as he should have been; mind these days PREOCCUPIED.
Dark eyes glance back at the small but sturdy box in his hand, deciding to place it back on the ground out of reach. “Ah, it’s still kinda busted. Just a bunch of old stuff. Nothing crazy interesting.” Lark’s lies flow one after another, each spilling out over the other like white water in gushing river. Lark was a self-made man, and he would create himself in whatever image he saw fit; that was a side of him that he didn’t need nor particularly want new friends to see. Careful, sweet flock- that is not a songbird at all, plucked and raw and beady-eyed----- that thing is a vulture.
“It’s cool having you over, y’know? It’s nice.” He turns to look back at her, fiddling with the screwdriver between digits as he pulls his legs up to his chest. The slightest of winces; everything still ached.
“You really liven the whole joint up an---” The boy’s words trail off as a thought comes to mind, “Oh, wait.” Lark flashes a smile as he carefully rises to crouch, moving over to the small power-bank at the back of the confines of the van. With a tiny CLICK, a flick of the switch- the space comes to life. A collection of soft reds, burning crimson stars scattered across the ceiling erupt in bloody glow. “Put up some fairy lights. Thought it’d be more uh… cosy?” Bashful laugh stutters out as he returns to his seat next to her. “What d’you think?”

… STORIES ARE ALWAYS SAD : they overwhelm the human mind to the point of tears, whether the offered ending sings of dismal destruction or sweetened hope ( it’s not the ending that matters … it is the fact it ends at all … it’s the way the ending is underscored as one set in stone, an unmoving beast that rebels against the allure of their humanity ). this is why charlie is dressed up in her own misery, clouded by a fading blanket of her own endings. once day, her story will end, colliding itself thinly against the tale of lark’s life. BUT IF SHE IS A PAPERBACK, THEN HE IS AN ORIGAMI BIRD : he denies that he is even made of paper, growing feathers from papercuts and wings from inky scribbles.
his story will end, too, and the final pages will be more gory than her own … the paper - bird will find the ground in a blaze of glory, unable to accept its true form ( beneath all of lark’s cracks, he wears the making of a monster : charlie might one day set the blade into his hand, but it’ll be his own sick mind that drives him to murder ). CHARLIE TOWNES, FIRST ON THE SCENE … she could create quite the stir in documenting a friend - turned - killer, the inside scoop dishing out organs and secrets and the offal of lark’s soul. she delights herself in the idea, but does not press towards it.
‘ you look like the dead bird that a cat dragged in. ’ she ruffles her fingers lightly through his messy locks, dropping her hand until it could smooth against the skin behind his ear. he’s soft there, her little songbird. ‘ please. scott kicked your ass. i should get you boxing lessons or something, toughen you up. ’
ʏᴏᴜ’ᴅ ʙᴇ sᴜʀᴘʀɪsᴇᴅ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴛᴏᴏʟs ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ sᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ʟɪғᴇ. Sinners flocked and atoned, reborn everyday in something as commonly found as water; deeds forgotten and forgiven in the eyes of those who created them with just a few words. Liars and crooks and criminals were reborn, reforged from the ashes of their own mistakes with something as simple as a blade. The life led, blood shed is nothing more really than the inky mess left behind to recount such tales. One of the many reasons Lark adored Charlie Townes was because they were of the same kind in a way;ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴄʜɪᴠɪsᴛs.
ᴛʜᴇ ʏᴏᴜɴɢ ᴍᴀɴ ʜᴇʟᴅ ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ sᴛᴏᴄᴋ ғᴏʀ ʜɪs ᴏᴡɴ sᴛᴏʀʏ, one who’s chapters began only a few years prior. If he were to document his life as both writer and editor, he’d proudly omit the first decade and a half that came before. It was only very recently he’d stepped into the narrative himself, from observer to the observed and already it had cost him more blood and tears than he had been prepared for. Young icarus plastered in wax of his own making was already left with burns. Only in the last few months had he really felt alive.
Ardant spectator to atrocities grainy on dim screen, he had carved himself onto the pages and been burdened with spectacular clarity. Lark Hernández had no past, and there was little future left for him in the space between sun and grave, but he was content with the blessings the present provided. It’s in these small, solar-painted moments he hopes he is remembered.
“Thanks.” Grin sits warmly on tired features as he feels Charlie’s hand etch across his skin, eyes resting in the gentle touch the reporter provided. How glad he felt that this chapter need not be a lonely one. “Not dead yet.” He teases in reminder, young hues opening to crest upon her visage.
“Boxing lessons? Now that’d be something, huh?” A little laugh exhales into the evening as hands form fists and punch out lightly into the air before them. They drop to ring themselves, bandaged hands kissed together in humble steeple. “I’m sure I’m a Rocky in the making.”
“I could have taken him, y’know. If it’d been an actual fight and not, y’know, an ambush.” The guitarist had really come out of nowhere, an invasion into the small nest he had made for himself, and painted collected scraps with the bird’s insides. Vicious hound plucking at wing and sinew with unfair advantage. He had hurt Tibbs before, and he was happy to do so again. He could fly to heights Scott could only dream of, leaving him down below in the dirt gagged with his own ego-stained fabric.
“Is that where you’re headed after this? He’ll probably be asking where you are, huh?”

… HUMANITY IS A STUPID BEAST : it growls and reviles against the dying light ( colton is glad he snuffed out the dying embers of his own … it would not serve him anymore, refusing to yield to the tender grip of his fingers ). they sit in colton’s palour, flush with muted browns and the gentle fragments of gold. a teacup rests against his palm, an aching warmth that kisses his skin … most killers [ if such a crass term could ever be applied to his art : he was little more than an artist ] had become so unabashed. there wasn’t any decorum anymore.
‘ some believe me to be quite a dangerous figure. ’ his smile is sickly sweet and flush, the godly benevolence as he stares down at the weakened creature. lark is sparrow - boned and crowned by his own softness. ‘ you don’t think i’m dangerous? … pour yourself more tea. ’

The internet could be a ᴡᴏɴᴅᴇʀғᴜʟ ᴛʜɪɴɢ. A tool to connect, a tool to create, a tool to share. The web itself was not inherently evil. It was no more evil than…than a baseball bat, slick with jewelled ash as it sits on the shelf. It was the hands that commanded these tools that directed the evil, the sweaty sinner’s palms that strangled themselves around hilt and chose where to swing. The dirty little spiders that scurried to feast on the aftermath from behind their little screens.
Lark felt incredibly out of place. Colton’s place is probably the nicest place he’d ever stepped foot in. Wire-frame rests uncomfortable in plush chair, with scuffed converse resting soundlessly against immaculate floors. But Lark could be in some back alley for all he cared, It was not the majesty of the man’s home that brought the boy here. His own lips curve to smile in mirror of Colton’s own; a sense of relief in tight chest that he had made him smile.
“That’s all subjective.” He replies, the teacup held between both hands yet untouched. It burned just a little against skin where he had held it in one place too long, but the dull sensation went unnoticed. “But… I mean, yeah? You’re pretty dangerous, I guess.” He plays with both ends of answer, a candle determined to burn to the core in order to please. Lark wishes not to pander; he won’t be reduced to a fan-boy. But he can’t help but breathe in silent prayer the wish for Colton’s smile to continuing its blessing.
“You’re only a danger to stupid people,” He catches his explanation, freeing one hand to push his curls out of his face; he really needed a haircut. “And even then I wouldn’t say danger.” A wry smile creeps its way onto his features, “They’re lucky they end up a part of your content. Given their sad little lives some actual use.”

@ofgxds : “ what hideous sin have you committed lately? ”
patience has never been one of adam’s greatest virtues. adam’s always been known for his hair - trigger temper, his explosive anger, his time - bomb nature. restraint was not a word typically associated with adam faulkner - stanheight. he’s TRYING … dear god, he’s trying … but it’s not going all that well. ‘ would you shut the fuck up? ’ huh. not as nasty as he’d expected. ‘ i don’t need a fuckin’ play - by - play of your therapy sessions. i just asked if you actually showed up. ’
ᴛᴏ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʜᴇ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴄʟᴇᴀʀ ᴀɪʀ ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜɪᴄᴋ ᴡᴀs ᴀ ғᴏᴏʟ’s ɢᴀᴍᴇ. It had been a thoughtless tease of the lips of the sinner that holier man dismissed with a snarl. Tough crowd. The rat struck back against flightless beast, both vermin of their own accord trying to make peace with their own strangled sense of devil and divinity. Claw and talon clash soundlessly, wordlessly in the air when light hues can bring themselves to glower at darker. Nothing could hide the disgust etched onto Adam’s tired features.
Lark looks away, ringing hands as he tries to straighten his posture; an unconscious gesture to affirm to himself that the photographer’s tone didn’t sting. Whatever creature had graced him with caring eyes or cautious advice had died long ago, corpse rotting in monochrome shadow of decaying tape. How much smaller Lark felt without the safety of a screen separating him from his consequences.
He scuffs foot against the ground, arms folding in on themselves as his mop of curls lifts to took at him. The sadness clawing at his own features would garner no sympathy here; he did not deserve it.
“Yeah.” His tone is smaller, guilt sour on his tongue as he can’t bear to look at him for more than a few seconds. That same disgust manifesting itself pointed inwards. “I went. I’ve been going. I’m--- trying, dude..”

He can’t stop his hands from shaking. He hopes Charlie is far too preoccupied to notice the tremor in his palm that inexperience betrays. She is gorgeous. Every gentle sound parted from lips a call to prayer and pious son bows his head. Lark’s breath is hot against skin, anxious in his excitement as he presses gentle kisses against her thigh. Heat clings shirt to thin frame and it seems discarding the other layer had brought with it no relief. She exudes both power and vulnerability with each second and how he prayed to exploit both. No one knew they were here. No one knew she was here, her hand tangling promise through curls and his tongue his lips anxious to devour.
Lark gasps just a little as she tugs harshly at his hair, giving himself over to the sharp pain it provided. Her guidance is appreciated as confidence grows, losing himself in his own morbid intoxication. Feeling her buck and writhe against him, with such little effort he could reduce her to a creature of base want and desire. In this moment here, his own shadow drew long, infiltrating and distorting as she was remade in his image; it was easy to see how Eve gave up everything for so little.
He feels her coat his lips, the crooked corners of devoted smile as she tightens her legs around him. The brunette couldn’t breathe, he didn’t want to. Lark’s body ached, drenched with the need to tear apart and to ruin. He can barely hear her over the sound of his own heartbeat thumping furiously over and over in his head, delving tongue deeper in sacrament as guttural groan traps in his throat. Call me that again he pleads wordlessly.
Hands unseeing brush against her legs and hold tight, blunt nails digging into heated skin as all at once he feels himself becoming just as undone as his guest. Violent images raptures thoughts and tongue trails up once more in defiant need for air; he doesn’t wish to drown just yet. Lark feels her digits tug harder, legs tuck tighter and he buckles, coursing flesh against flesh again. How her breath stuttered, how threat and guidance mingled into one ungodly being as he savours each taste and noise. No one knows she’s here.
Thoughts of breaking free, of snaking hand around throat, of fucking her until her body begged for release; for the end in both regards. To have her spill before him, face and hands painted red as pleas trembled out of her just as easy as her cries of affirmation. His groan is ravenous, desperate. Just the thought alone was bringing him to the edge.

oh , dear juliet , can’t you see? those eyes aren’t one of your dearly beloved , they are the deathlike slumber that you will fall into. like frankenstein’s monster , he’s reanimated — gangly limbs and tubes and a corpse-like face all carry the signs of a boy beyond the grave. HELD TOGETHER SO LOOSELY : DESTINED TO FALL APART … … the funny thing about jigsaw is how he discards his little dolls. he forms them , molds them out of their own bloodshed , and leaves them to play with another. sins are wiped clean in his eyes , but his own are not accounted for ( rehabilitation is nothing without guidance : for what do the lost flock do when found again? ). a so-called shepherd leads nothing but questions with no answers , a pain with no resolve. sat in a small circle , head low , with others of the lord herd. survivors? no. they were ABADONED. the remnants of the dead echoed beyond the boy. it bled into the very house itself. there was a strange emptiness ( a polaroid with a cut out in the middle , the outlines of what was clear in the composition though torn away ). he acts like the phantom of a man isn’t in the room with them , small smile forming as nostrils flare.
“ you really shouldn’t be , ” he speaks shyly , voice almost lost in his chest. “ i’m not good , aside from the hand stuff. ” he lingers in the moment , feeling a horror movie chill ( was it from him or lark? he couldn’t tell ). “ … — we should , go upstairs , yeah? my mom’s cool with it , as long as the door’s open. ” his thumb points to the stairway as he speaks. “ i’ll , uh , ” his thought doesn’t finish as he grabs onto his oxygen tank , wheeling it behind him as he makes the voyage back up the stairs he had just run down. it’s an arduous task , slender fingers clinging onto the railing with all strength that can be mustered as lungs wheeze and groan with every step. eventually , they reach the top , and daniel needs a moment to collect himself. it’s a quick moment that’s ended just as quick when lark comes around. with a push off the wall and a small smile , he leads them down the hallway. if there ever was a reflection of teenage angst , it would be found here. grey-blue walls are covered in various posters ( from the smiths to godzilla 1954 to the invisible man 1933 , it’s an eclectic collection of whatever piques his fluctuating interest ). but the largest display is his vinyl collection which is right by the door , a worn wooden record player stand with two small speakers by it. stacks of albums rested next to the record player as an indication of his listening history. pink floyd , green day , oasis , radiohead. an organized mess : disheveled but intentional. his space was kept tidy , though , aside from a pair of jeans that he kicks under his bed quickly. A WOLF CLOAKED IN LAMB’S WOOL IS WELCOMED INTO THIS RABBIT’S DEN. “ you can sit wherever. ” daniel gestures vaguely around him before he goes to his desk , pulling out his chair. “ i didn’t really — my set up isn’t meant for more than one person , so , it’s a little weird. ” he tilts his monitor towards the bed. “ you can sit in the chair if you want. ” he kneels now , opening his desk cabinet and taking out a neatly wrapped snes with two controllers. “ i had to get an adapter to get it to work on my monitor. ” idle chatter as he sets up the console. “ it’s not really meant it be played on anything not from the nineties. so , had to make it work. but it works really well , i think. not that i’m bragging … ” his small tangent ends as he hands the other a controller. “ be careful with it , okay? ”

“ are you scared? ” she asks politely , fingers folded behind her back as mary janes take careful strides on the path lightly treaded. she’s a preying mantis wrapped in dior and cherry - coated smiles that whisper such sweet nothings. a siren , luring sailors off to sea ( they’re always so needy , so desperate for control they don’t realize they never had. she wonders : how long until this one drowns? ). moonlight follows them like a stage light , highlighting the main act. the soft scuff of her shoes mesh with cicadas and crickets orchestrating the night ambiance as gnarled branches cast tendrils of clinging shadows that fall upon the two. each one of her steps is calculated , poised , and slightly behind the song bird between her teeth. “ you should not be. it is just us here. ”
closed starter for @ofgxds!
The invitation had ripped apart the veil. A man, a monster hidden behind screen names and pages and pages of text was nothing more than a boy of his own making. She, however, was just as devastatingly beautiful as she was online. Josie’s voice, her posture, was all as he had imagined it to be and more. There was never any deceit with the blonde, and that had carried true with even her online persona. It left cheeks red with shame, mop of curls unruly as they hid away wide eyes that trained carefully to the ground. Here he trod, scuffed converse against the undergrowth as they followed the forest’s path.
Everything felt so real now. She was real, the night’s air warm and suffocating against his skin was real, the sound of the woods alive in the virgin dusk so real. Lark’s chest felt even tighter in the woman’s company, the blistering reality that impossibly decadent tone provided.
“Scared? What—? No.” Lark lied, his words caught in his throat as they’re half coughed out. He straightens his posture just a little, eyes daring to flicker to the woman’s face before returning to their place on the trail. “Why…why would I be scared?” He asked in rhetoric, a half snorted laugh dry and incredulous trailing after in pretension of bravery.
She was a viper in the grass, precise and deadly in her hunt. What she was hunting for exactly alluded him, but that didn’t make it any less terrifying. Here he was, sparrow-boned and eager to nestle himself in the snake’s maw, finding hollow home amongst fang and venom.
“Just us. What could be better..?”

i was left here to die.
He hangs onto his every word. His breath is stolen between the syllables given like revelation. Palms are pressed together in subconscious prayer, doing their best to hide glorious tremor that divinity offers. Left to die. Lark is more than aware of the terror that Xavier faced in his journey to enlightenment. Scarred flesh is kissed by angels, handsome features heavenly in the room’s subtle dark. What a collection of wonders the musician had managed to shepherd to his tribe. Play your role. Xavier ! The rough-looking roommate of your frontman. Lark ! The unwitting lackey to said roommate. A roll of the eyes, a knowing glance when rock star opened maw to shriek.
Brows knit in well-practiced concern. “Shit man…” He breathes, pushing hand through his curls, bass guitar resting in his lap. “Fuck… I’m sorry,” an apology not for his circumstance, but for the lack of words in the face of such horror. He swallows hard, letting brown eyes melt to lighter shade. “How’d you.. get out? Shit’s fucked...”
