Cold

TW: Bl00d, Injuries (+ Yap below 👇)

This idea was based off of a post I saw where they failed a mission and got left in the "coldest snowdin unimaginable" by Nightmare.

I cannot for the life of me remember or find which post it is tho, so if someone finds, please comment it below! (At least the og poster so I find it and link it!)

Edit: It's this post!

I like to think that, due to Ink's lack of a soul, his nerves are shot so he's just kinda numb lol.

This happens to be a thing incorporated into My Broken Chains AU. Ink was just admiring the creations in his lil void place and he spotted them. At first, he didn't really care bc they've hurt people but then the imaginary Dream in his head told him it was prolly the right thing to do to help them out.

It is done.

The final chapter of Broken Chains: 2026 Edition is complete. The end product was a lot of hours of love wrapped up into a little story that swelled into being a third longer than its original iteration, and can now stand as the basis of my Happy Ending. My girls have been through a lot, but now the world's their oyster. *proud of them*

Broken Chains: Whatever the Future Holds

The horizon was painted with the colours of sunset, so much softer and more beautiful than the harsh glow that Taylor had become used to. Perhaps, she pondered, she should make a point of watching the sun go down every day for the rest of her life. For all the hurt that had come of it, she could begrudgingly admit that she'd earned that perfect sunset.

Next stop: San Trobida....

Hm?

After being trapped in a place for a long time, maybe resigning yourself to the belief that's all there will ever be, a violent escape can be really jarring. It might not even feel real. That's what I experienced. Just thinking about it again

NO BARK ALL BITE ⛓️‍💥

[creation-of-hatred]

1x would have protested the cooing, perhaps even prodded the voice but the shift of the shadows and change of the light caught their attention instead. Their grip on the handles of their swords tightens. Amber is not a common color they see anymore, and for a moment 1x is almost mesmerized.

… Her attention split for a second- she blinked, only to find her sorry nest replaced with something much grander then she had ever conceived of. A flicker of curiosity drives them to slowly approach the nest. A surprisingly gentle kick to its side confirms it’s real.

“ . . . “

Why would It do this.

“ … This is paradise. The violence is fulfilling, I get to kill them over and over again. “

Why try to trick him? Does it not think him loyal? The answer is right in front of them but they don’t acknowledge it. Their savior and It’s crimson sky was the highest power here. Nothing came above It. It has brought gods to their knees and granted eternal life… in some form to those under its skies.

… but it’s gaze is cold. The gaps in between the violence and fear and the constant, endless bloodshed are cold. Its very touch is cold.

But this is Warm, like sun as it rises or the grip of The Firebrand. It passes through 1x like a ghost, concentrating on their cheek. Instinctively she jerks back, slashing The Daemonshank at the air infront of them to little effect.

So this wasn’t a scheme. But why?

“ You, Telamon, shall refer to me as The Adversary, or One by One by One by One. “

The name is spoken with a particular kind of venom. He speaks with accusation in his tone.

“ Why are you doing this. To fuel your own ego-? “

1, 3, 6, 7 for the high school prompts (may I request something with the broken chains ocs for one of them? no pressure)

yesssssss of course!!!! I mostly haven't written much with the broken chains characters cause I haven't posted many of them yet and Kamau and Ember canonically don't even meet until way way way way late in the story lol <3333 but I have no qualms about writing for them for these at all!

#1 Don’t pretend, I think you know I’m damn precious and hell yeah, I’m the motherfuckin’ princess (Girlfriend) from this prompt list info on Ember here

Akmashi's nightlife was always exciting, regardless of your status or job. Ember was no exception; xe was very familiar with the nightlife though usually xe was in a less safe location, waiting for his latest client to come and pay for his services, yet tonight she found herself in a much better position.

Ember wore some of the nicest clothes they could afford as they nervously waited yards away from the entrance to one of Akmashi's most luxurious clubs. On any other night, he would be barred from entering, maybe attacked for even making an attempt, but Markas was a high enough status that they were hopeful his presence alone would be enough to keep them safe. Whenever Markas arrived, that is.

Ember tapped their foot impatiently and chewed xir lower lip. It wasn't like Markas to be late. A handful of drunk revelers passing shouted slurs at them as they passed but Ember did his best to ignore it.

Ember jumped at the feel of a hand on her lower back, startling her out of her thoughts, but it was only Markas, well-dressed in a violet tangzhuang and looking down at Ember with a faint smile.

"Sorry. I got caught up at the palace. Do you still want to go inside or would you rather go home?" Markas asked, his voice a low rumble.

Ember's smile lit up his face, the fear melting away. "After all this waiting, there's no fucking way we're not going in now."

Markas nodded, wrapping an arm around Ember's waist and leading them to the entrance. The bouncer gave them a dirty look but wisely held his tongue and only took a few moments before begrudgingly stepping aside to let them through.

Once inside, Markas pulled Ember closer protectively, almost daring anyone to say or do something as they wound their way through the crowd to the bar to grab a bottle of expensive maggake before finding a quiet corner booth. Ember seated themself in Markas's lap instead of the seat and took a swig directly from the bottle with a pleased sound. Markas watched his partner with amusement before pulling them closer and pressing a gentle kiss against their forehead.

"It's good to have you here with me," he murmured.

Ember smiled softly, leaning into Markas's embrace, already feeling herself relax. "It's good to be here with you."
