Okok so new stupid idea for an AU

What if Y/N won an enormous amount of money at the lottery but after one year they have to stay an undisclosed range of time at the hospital because they continue to collapse and the doctors don't have any idea of what's the metter.

What if Y/N is tired of no answers from the doctors and being in the same room of other really ill people (because it's not good for their mental state to see them eventually die in front of them) and decides to use the money they won to "book" a room at the most advanced and famous hospital of their side of the world: Faz Co Hospital.

What if in said hospital they offer an emotional aid figure as a part of the basic therapy and you have to choose from a list full of sentient robots a companion.

What if you choose the "Celestial duo" (because lmao it is a Y/N x DCA AU) and spend a lot of time with them.

And then emotional damage begins.

Day 14

I have received…indifferent news about the human‘s state, by which I mean, I cannot describe her current state, as I have not received any actually comprehensible further information.

Wrin has decided to pay the human a visit at the beginning of this cycle. After they returned, they sought me out to report back, despite not single word about my task being uttered in their proximity.

They leaned against the wall next to me without a word, so after a few moments, I spoke up: "How is she?"

"She seems alright, at least she‘s most definitely not about to die.", Wrin responded, taking a swig of the bottle in their gloved hand.

"Would you be more specific?", I requested.

"Well, I don‘t know, I asked her how she was doin‘ and she said she was 'peachy keen'."

My front pliers uttered a rattling sound. "And…what does that mean?"

"If I knew", Wrin said, taking another sip. "I haven‘t known her for that long either, and I don‘t know anything about humans. She does that weird thing sometimes though, when you‘re talking to her, and she says something that is true but kind of sounds like a lie? I dunno, might be that."

"Would you care to elaborate?", I repeated, slightly suspecting that Wrin was already too intoxicated to form coherent thoughts.

"Kind of like…y‘know, sometimes it‘s also the other way around, and she tells a lie, but kind of in a mocking tone? I don‘t really get it either. Must be a 'human' thing."

Telling lies mockingly? Perhaps Wrin was simply not eludicating well enough, but I would have to investigate this claim further. Perhaps I would pay the human a visit myself, if I was permitted.

Unfortunately, before I could act any further, another technician rather desperately retrieved me to assist in the main control center, as they were, apparently, understaffed for the circumstances we are currently situated in.

Resulting in this, I did not face the human at all during this cycle, but I have received news that she has been discharged from the medical quarters, while the medicals further analyze the test results they recorded.

Furthermore, we are set to enter Fendaar‘s athmosphere in 2-3 cycles, so we will be able to let the SIIR Noxos get mended properly and stock up on necessities.

Glenn says goodbye to his son

I get it now

and you do too, don’t you?

I’m not a good father Nick.

Nor was my father 

I wanted to give you more than I had

I wanted to make Morgan proud.

I should have been there for you 

I wish we had talked more.

Break the cycle Nick

You’re better than me and my dad, you’ve always been 

you’re kind

you’re caring

you’re cool

you’re Morgan’s legacy

you’re Jodie Foster’s son

(Thank God,) you’re nothing like me

I’m sorry

I’m sorry but don’t you dare look back

It’s my fault 

Kids should not pay for their father’s sins.

Go, be happy

And maybe, if you have the time, remember me

No, my bad, I meant forget

I’m proud of you Nick

Please give us more Ace/Nyx/Lib content (T-T) it's what the people want

As though I don’t have an entire thing in the rewrite where Nyx and Ace have a weird sort of relationship with Libs where it’s like nothing ‘official’ but also. Their Libs. Noooooo touchy. Their Libs.

I want you to imagine Libertus lecturing someone and two shadows ominously hover over his shoulder daring the person being lectured to start something. I also want you to know that Libertus has essentially been claimed as the person to two big cats (Nyx and Ace).

(I mean, what is a dragon (Ace) but a big cat?)

Libertus: *stuck underneath Ace and Nyx as the two refuse to leave their spot curled up on either side of him* we do have to get up in an hour. *gets snuggled* or are we ignoring the king now?

Ace: *muffled by libs shirt* fuck the king

Legolas, Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen getting in Trouble

Elrond: don’t be a dick!

Thranduil: be a cunt instead.

Listen, ok, Thranduil’s absolutely chill with being an asshole to people who deserve it. He is the number 1 advocate for “be a bitch to you enemies”.

That being said, he also wants his kid to do so while remaining safe.

And to have some class, thank you.

Look, if you’re going to do something wrong, at least look fabulous AND have plausible deniability.

ELROND HOWEVER-

Is of the same mind, but he’s also looked at as a respectable lord

So he has at least look like he disapproves of his kid’s antics.

(If he later gives them extra desert and a pat on the back, it is completely unrelated, thank you very much)

He wishes he could go feral, but alas-

Someone has to be the responsible and serene leader of elves, and it’s not gonna be Thranduil.

Celebrian is recording this all from behind the two ellons, and is laughing unapologetically.

Perhaps Legolas, Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen would feel more ashamed if it wasn’t blatantly obvious that the adults thought the situation was hilarious and were only putting up a front for the offended party.

Well, Elrond was putting up a front, his darling wife was still laughing her self silly, and Thranduil has brought out a new bottle of wine to celebrate.

Eru save him, NO ONE HELPS HIM IN THIS HOUSE HOLD!

One quick way to add weight, drama, and poignancy to a story is to make it generational. Whether it’s by biological or adoptive parentage or mentorship, to have a character face the same enemy or endure the same struggle as their predecessor grounds the story in failure.

Even if the past generation lived happily ever after or achieved their goal, the resurgence of the same enemy or issue shows that they failed to complete their task, with the present generation suffering the consequences. With failure having been achieved before, it’s now a likely outcome that raises the tension in the current story—even though the enemy is known, it’s won or survived before and can do it again. The expectation in any story is that the hero will be victorious, so having a proven threat as an enemy puts the safe happy ending in jeopardy and hints to the reader/watcher that events may not play out how they should. Frodo is expected to destroy the ring, but if even Bilbo succumbed to its power, can he succeed?

This might also play out in the idea of duty—the present generation might not just be aware of the past generation’s failures, they might also feel a responsibility or obligation to correct them. When that materializes, you’ve got the very juicy idea of people burdened by others’ mistakes who still have to deal with the consequences. The reactions that can induce from the characters are ripe for exploration.

On that same note, the present and past generations are connected by a common enemy that they can bond or fight over. Rather than just the fate of the world, the fate of a family might hang in the balance. The past generation, jaded or overconfident or terrified, might try to guide the current generation’s approach to the struggle. The current generation, optimistic or doubtful or resentful, might use the past generation’s experience to their advantage or might condemn them as failures and steer clear. The nature of the plot mandates a relationship that affects the story, forcing creatives to put some thought into it.

Depending on how it’s played, the resolution of the past struggle might also define the present characters. If their guardians/mentors were deeply affected by the past plot, then it would determine how they raised/taught their successors and would contribute to the present characters’ baggage or beliefs. In fighting the enemy, characters may also be fighting their upbringing and the past generations. The renewed struggle is a chance to change the status quo established after the previous conflict, forcing characters to come up with their own beliefs about how life should be. These beliefs may or may not match up with the previous generation’s lessons, creating more tension to work out.

Survivors leave the gate when it's obvious you won, it's frustrating as hunter when you can't surrender yet.
