My Hero

[savsonfire]

The Herald of Andraste was born out of more than just smoke and fire. He was born out of a tear in the sky, to the reverence of burning corpses as an audience, to the song of demons freed into maddening reality as a choir, from the death of the divine, her holiness, as a mother itself.

If this news hadn’t been reality, if it had been written in a book as a tale of fantasy, the chantry would have ordered it burned before a second print.

The proclaimed Herald of Andraste is a beast of a man, what could be wholly expected of the birth that brought him to the forefront of a nation in turmoil. Of course, such a catastrophe would birth a demon calling itself maker blessings.

AnywAY Kaayras Adaar, folks. Your local massive Qunari with a clashing theme of demonic red and vibrant purple. A towering thing you can spot towering overhead, soaring above a crowd, filling a room with his presence, last standing on a battlefield. Just as easy as he is to spot, he is as impossible to see or witness.

usually he keeps all that red hair pinned up, and paints his face up all kindsa pretty with purple war paint, and he’s a handy, flirty bastard but very quiet and unspoken.

This was supposed to be a quickly drawn thing but it actually took longer than i thought it would.

(low key wanna save some money and comission a better artist to make a proper tarot card for him lmao)

Good evening there’s Ironwick under the cut, 18+ only.

Yes it’s smut, and there’s literally one paragraph of preamble.

Enjoy <3

“Ah, James–”

Roman’s voice emerges as little more than a whine, back arching as lithe legs wrap around James’s taut waist; a groan slips from the redhead’s mouth as the other man’s lips reach his jaw, his neck, pressing kisses and biting the tiniest little bruises into easily-marred skin. He’d need to cover those up tomorrow should he have plans, though his plans currently amount to ‘being unable to walk’, and ‘being unable to properly awaken’ - so this ought be of no consequence.

All things considered, James has very much taken matters into his own hands.

The other man’s onslaught continues, Roman’s nails biting into the flesh of one shoulder, whilst scrambling to find purchase on the other–As it is, however, titanium makes for particularly poor grip, all the while James fucks him haphazardly against the wall, cock hitting Roman so deeply and in all the right places. Gods above, it makes him throw his head back and if his head should tip further he’ll collide with the wall, he won’t even care, James feels heavenly inside him.

“Fffuck..!”

How does this keep happening, Roman can wonder. Perhaps he should be wondering it, but he can’t, he can’t think, he can’t concentrate–doesn’t want to concentrate on anything other than the cock repeatedly thrusting in and out of him, so he doesn’t. He notes skin slapping against skin and metal, he notes the dull ache in his arse, takes stock of the flexing of what could be abs if he really tried, and the smell of sex and sweat, accompanied by what Roman thinks is pine, likely remnants of James’s cologne.

But the most pressing thing in his mind is the mounting pleasure he’s experiencing with each thrust. James’s face is now buried in the crook of Roman’s neck, teeth grazing him, hands splayed out on Roman’s back.

It’s in this instant that Roman asks himself whether he’s going to come untouched. Or rather, he groans out a: “James… James! ‘m gonna–Holy shit, you feel so fuckin’ good–” To which James responds in turn by shutting him up with a hungry kiss, all heat, tongue laving against Roman’s, the redhead moaning desperate noises into that kiss because no matter what James attempts, Roman Torchwick is fully incapable of shutting up. He’ll shut up when he’s dead, he surmises, and this includes all of the keening noises he’s sneaking between kisses.

Each thrust comes hard and fast now; there’s an inconsistence to James’s rhythm, his cheeks are flushed, breath shaky; one of his hands braces against the wall, the other supporting Roman’s frame as with one last thrust, James lets slip a drawn-out groan, and though there’s not that telltale heat inside of him, Jim’s pleasure is apparently Roman’s, and thus, a few erratic thrusts later, and Torchwick’s spilling over his own navel, nails leaving tiny rivulets of red in their wake as the other man’s pace slows.

Pleasured noises turn into laboured breaths, and as James pulls out, his hands gently lowering Roman’s feet to the ground, (ignoring that their legs nearly collectively give out) the two share one more kiss.

“Mm. Don’t think I’m gonna be able to walk tomorrow, Jim. All your fault.”

“And this is the part where you instruct me to carry you to bed, despite that it’s several metres from us?”

“You guessed it, Jim!”

The General sighs one of those particularly resigned sighs, one of the ones specifically for when Roman requests something utterly menial of him, and yet, without hesitation, he picks Torchwick up.

‘How, indeed,’ James muses.

Broken Ties, Broken Bonds

Screw being the Warrior of Light. (Shadowbringers spoilers under the cut, also angst, and stuff based off a tweet I made earlier, in which my grief-stricken WoL tries to bring an old flame back).

He’s shaking, he’s pouring his everything into these tomes, yet the words bleed hopelessly into one another. His hand shakes, he turns a page, two pages, and those two turn into two-hundred, two-thousand, over the course of about a week; he doesn’t leave. Ven’s been doing this consistently, books ‘borrowed’ from Urianger’s library in the First. Materials that flickered and wavered and ultimately made no sense to anybody else in the Source laid bare their contents, yet he vows to comprehend them. Ascian texts, he’s sure they’d been there for show, tattered and broken, but he reads them–he can, for some reason, ever since it’d been hinted that he’s the Fourteenth.

Ascians are eternal, or so Emet-Selch informs–no, informed him; Ven shakes his head, unpleasant memories of light wracking his body with agony, with his very existence privy to doubt. Eternity seems a horrible thing, the Mage thinks, but this eternity may well hold the key to bringing… him. Back.

Shuddering gasps, choking cries as the pages no longer make sense to his sleep-deprived mind, and he screams a guttural scream as he clutches at his head, tears stream down his face, only to collide with the pages below.

“FOR THOSE I HAVE LOST!" 

The words make sense, these make sense and they’re coherent and they’re everything he wants in words, they echo in his little library, books tumble to the floor as aether uncontrollably wells up. It pours from his fingers, even the tears that fall remain all but suspended, crystalline and beautiful–if not sinister.

"FOR THOSE I CAN YET BRING BACK!”

The incantation rings out, he hears his desk splintering before he sees it, feels it buckle under his hands. All he can see before him is an aetherial glow, and he finds himself drawn to it. One of those hands reaches out, shaking, a familiar voice within the room. 

He can’t see through his stinging tears.

‘Don’t cry, Ven. A smile better suits a hero.’

The glow, it’s so comforting in its’ embrace, and he keeps on reaching, he swears he feels the brush of chainmail against his fingers, and he keeps weeping, more tomes fall, the wooden door begins to splinter too, until–

“–VEN!”

An Au Ra, small in stature, white-haired and notably concerned stands at that broken door, and it all comes crashing back down.

So does he, so do the crystalline tears, digging into his palms.

“I… I…”

So do his regular tears.

“… I just miss him so much.”

dont mind this, i wrote it in a tumblr post since i cant use microsoft word, so its probably bad

The Discovery: Sparks 

He hasn’t been here long. No, not long at all.

He’d made a deal with Muffet only a few days ago- the well known spider woman entrepreneur was determined to make a killing, opening a pastry shop in Snowdin. She’d bought out his bar- and at a discount deal, as she’d included her home in the deal.

He could see it, still, only yesterday. His well loved, rustic bar built of wood he’d steadily scavenged from the waterfall dumps- he’d woken up that morning, the deal made the day before- already the place being painted over pastel purple by the woman’s handy spiders. The busy bodied arachnids had already moved what things he’d still owned of the place outside.

He hadn’t expected it so soon, but knew it’d come quickly. Muffet, somewhat stoic and somewhat sadistic to those who knew her, wouldn’t hesitate pushing him out of his home as soon as possible to get her business under way.

So, in the dark early hours of the underground’s morning cycle, he’d hauled his stores of alcohols he’d made under the pretense he’d still own a bar in a week or a month, before he’d been given the proposal; as well as the food he’d had read to serve for the next day under the pretense he’d have a few more days to make some money, and plan for what he’d do now that he wasn’t going to have the bar. What else he would do, he didn’t know- but he’d known there was no not taking a deal from Muffet. Even if her first proposals always only benefitted her, they’d be far better than any that’d come later. Muffet makes it so she’ll get her way, eventually.

He wished, even if he had the ideas and capacity to be so vigerous in practice, that he could stomach it. perhaps then he wouldn’t be the one living in the darken alleys of upper hotland, where the spider woman once wove intricate webbed traps for humans and the spiders once lived.

It’s incredibly dark, here. No glowing stones, no bright white snow. Even if the MTT hotel isn’t far way, this area is dark, and without the spiders, almost completely uninhabited. Almost- because now its inhabited by one bright blue man on fire.

He’s not sure if he’s got what it takes to make a success in hotlands. The kind of people that make it here are a certain kind of ruthless. He couldn’t measure up to Napstabot, or Muffet like that- maybe when he was younger. A long time ago he was flashy enough and ruthless enough to make it anywhere.

Some used to joke that it was the cold of Snowdin that calmed his reckless flames. The wildest and hottest fire elemental since monsters were on the surface- blue flames were rare. In the surface war, ruthlessness had been a virtue, and in the years that followed imprisonment in the ungerground, it had served him well. It took a lot to survive and come out okay. In the mayhem and depression it took a lot to stay successful and keep yourself upright. Flashy bowties and colored suits and glasses and an overdramatic cane to top it off did a trick to keep looking vibrant and well-to-do, and a bright and chipper personality of mischief, mayhem, and sadism.

Why, he was a lot like muffet, back then. Before muffet was even born.

Some joked it was the cold of Snowdin that calmed his firey ways. He knew better.

Or, in honesty, he didn’t.

He just knew it wasn’t Snowdin. Snowdin was a safe place that gave him life. It’d brought him back from a depth that had been dark yet darker yet darker still.

Some place he painfully couldn’t remember anymore, even though it hadn’t been that long. What put out the spark he cant remember. He knows it was snowdins cozy and safe atmosphere, the brightness and the safety, that brought back anything.

He was a different man then he was when he was young, and he wasn’t one that could make it easily in Hotlands anymore.

Hell, NTB even sold burgers already. Burgers and fries was half his business. There was no way to outshine the Glam Burgers cause it wasn’t about how good his food was. If this was Snowdin, yes, but it wasn’t. the NBT was big and it was glamorous and big things make cheap food easy and push out the little guys and the glamour outshines any that aren’t smothered.

Who’d come to a rinky back alley to buy a more expensive burger, when you could go to NTB and get a cheaper, bigger one that deals more HP healing and has NTB’s movies and music and shows and advertisements.

He wasn’t going to do well.

He put any and al things he had into his new home- it was big, he’ll give it that. It was bigger than one could expect to get in a crowded pace like the hum that is hot lands. And it was new- up to date in all of hot lands latest fun technological advances. He wasn’t given a completely horrible end of a deal- its not like he had bills to pay or a rent to pay. The house was payed in full and done. The bottom floor was designed for business- it was where muffet had had her first bakesale.

He could open a bar. There weren’t any bars in hotlands- not since he left hotlands. Not since he left here in a total depression. Not since he was starting to fall down. not since he took his himself to the snow, and took his business with him shortly after.

Maybe, while he was here, he could figure out what he couldn’t remember. Maybe he could find something that jogged those old lucid memories.

So he walked.

He walked the alleys and mazes of hotlands, taking turns and routes he hadn’t seen in at least 100 years. So much had changed but with only so much room to grow, not much really could. While everything looked and felt different, it was still hotlands, still what he’d known most of his life underground. Drawing life and energy from the heat and the lava.

He’d admit it was invigorating. Snow was a soft pain on the surface of unprotected fire- the heat, here, it was comfortable.

He walked and he walked, taking familiar pathways.

A bridge over the lava took him to his old bar in the busy shopping distract- to the day it was now a resteraunt of some sort. A winding path took him back to the residential district, and deep into it he found his old apartment-like building.

He followed main paths and dodged traps all the way until the limits of hotlands and the way became New Home, and turned back around.

The elevators were new, and walking past the hotel was a trick to his memory. But the alleys behind it were familiar- the old run down homes and dumpster heaps.

The sight of the core filledhim with dread, as he stood at the cliff overhang. Brilliant lava stretched from the cliff base out t the looming, dangerous machine.

He knows it’s a good thing- the core, metallic and dark and shining with red, provided the whole of underground with power.

He knew a lot about it, actually. Geothermal harvesting- heat harvested with magic and the two become electricity of incredible efficiency. Ozonation- Purification of water- your average monster thought that the ice from Snowdin goes to cool the core- so how does he know otherwise? The ice is rapidly evaporated from the geothermal heat, and the ozone layers purify it. when theres too much ozone that comes clean air- oxygen.

The core is a beautiful thing. It Purifies all the air in the underground. It Purifies all the water from Snowdin to waterfall to new home. It provides clean renewable electricity dependant only on geothermal energy. It even powers itself, every room in the core designed to move about itself in a continual combination of puzzles, and was the dawn of the elevators, being the first elevator that connected hot land to new home.

Its beautiful and it’s the reason the underground has survived as long as it has. its important and good.

But the thing fills him with dread. He cant stand it. He wishes it wasn’t there.

He turns away from it and continues to walk this path, familiarly following the way his feet move, up through elevators and back into the heart of hotlands. But when he arrives at the destination- he finds himself confounded.

This door is a dark ugly grey, and it reminds him of back when Hotlands was young. When everything was grey.

Its dark and rundown, a completely uninhabited alleyway. Its painfully familiar and yet he remembers nothing about this place.

The door, run down of its hinges, is easy to move… so he does.

His own bright blue light spills into the pitch blackness and he climbs his way down a short set of stairs. theres another door. run down, but heavy duty. Serious stuff. More modern more sleek. Not so old. A name plate is bolted to it and as many times as he reads the letters, he doesn’t perceive them. He only notices a few seconds later and tries to read it again like its new.

He gets the door open, tugging, tugging, tugging. Its familiar in a sense that’s painful, and dreadful. It isn’t scary the way it should be. Because its familiar and he’s been here before. He knows this place and he cant remember why. But its dreadful and it makes his soul beat in a sense of fear like there’s something here he doesn’t want to see. Something that hurts.

He fumbles about through the darkness- its cleaner in here, and lit but only slightly- like the place is closed but still actively in use. hes starting to think that the place isn’t abandoned- just that he found an entrance that’s no longer used. The place is secure and none of the other entrances seem accessible from the outside.

He walks, far, passing doors and doors and doors. Sometimes these neat and clean rooms turn into long winding halls. Subtle temperature drops. When it isn’t winding tunnels its labs- familiarly unfamiliar labs. Dark as the place isn’t in use but things here and there like dates on clip boars or blinking lights on machinery, prove its still active down here.

He finds a delapitated hall corner and door similar to the way he’d come in but when he peaks up, the area above is in Waterfall.

He follows these tunnels and connected little labs. The further he goes the older and yet still deeply advanced things seem. Things this way- theyre less actively used. Nothing is blinking alive anymore. But dates on things show that activity was incredibly bust until… maybe just a month ago.

He comes to a dead end. A heavy, heavy locked door he’s no hope of getting through. It snaps him out of the dreadful and lost daze hes been, and suddenly the dread is telling him he should be here. Its dangerous. A more logical part of him is telling him, yes, he should be here- this is a lab, a lot of peoples place of work from all the names and things hes seen, he’s probably not allowed down here. This probably belongs to the royal scientist, the new one that started last month, and the ones that came before her- whoever they were.

The first entrance he finds is the one he uses to get out of the lab. He stumbles up and is almost shocked to find himself in the familiar purple halls of the ruins- what was once called Home.

He ducks back down, into the labs, and hustles his way about back up them. The next one he finds- it lets out into Snowdin area, deep in the forests. He recognizes it quickly- hes lies out here for years if not anymore.

He is not alone.

He lets the heavy, authorization-requiring door close, now locking him out of lab. Now that he knows where he is, he doesn’t want to go back. It clacks loudly and heavily- locked.

He remains fixated on his… company.

Its fully grown and its bigger than him. much, much bigger. It leave him weary.

He’s never seen a monster like this before but yet its painfully familiar. It wears no dress but a deep red cape on its shoulders, a hood pulled over head. So much snow has piled on its shoulders, on its head- but it isn’t snowing. It hadn’t snowed since last night.

It’s been sitting here for a while. Whoever this is. If its anyone.

Skeletons- they exist within humans, it’s a part of their body. He considers the possibility of a human falling into the underground, dying in the snow. Dismisses it- the only known way humans have ever entered the underground is an ages old crack, a hole, deep in Home- The Ruins. Its only big enough for a child.

That, and as he takes the steps out of the divot where the door to the labs- the caves and the labs, as he steps out and draws a bit near, the familiar pulse of magic moves through him.

Its neither human nor dead, but it’s the oddest sensation hes ever felt. It doesn’t feel like a proper monster.

He approaches slowly, but even drawing near, it doesn’t move. Not at all. He’d think it dead or fallen down, but the way the magic pulses, the sense it give him- he know that this… person is very aware of him and his presence.

“………Are you okay?”

He does not get a response.

Briefly he adjusts his glasses.

“………Can you stand?”

The hulking ting surprises him- it shifts for but a second but immediately its rising to its feet. Said bare bones dig deep into the snow until they reach the ground. Grillby knows bones themselves don’t way much- less then a normal human. This thing must be heavy.

As he thought its massive- taller than him.

The only signs of life about it, once its stood and goes still, is the active lights. They glow at him steadily from the depth of its eyes. Two bright, how pink irises. They’re somewhat mesmerizing. After a second, the is another sign of life. Despite no probable need to breathe, one slow exhale escapes from its mouth- its mouth is full of incredibly sharp teeth, and the visible fog of hot air meeting cold in little whitish puffs only draws them more attention.

Its watching him.

“……………”

Hes not sure what to do.

“……… are you okay?”

Theres the slightest movement of its eyes.

Its thinking. It did here him. its thinking. It doesn’t resond though.

He tries an easier question.

“…are you… injured?”

Its thinking. “No, Doctor.”

its- a very masculine voice- his? its voice is deep. Its low and reverberating. Slow but sharp. To a point. Mechanical.

The doctor has a ring to it the resounds dreadfully in his chest.

“………I am not a doctor.” A moment. “did you come from the lab?”

Its thinking. But nothing comes.

“from down there…?” he tries again, pointing. The tunneled gave just down the steps.

“Yes.” The doctor is withheld, but just barely remembered to.

“……Are you supposed to be up here?”

Should… should he take this back down?

“she said don’t come back.” It responds dully. Dully dully dully, like everything else its said, but in it rings- confusion. Sadness. Maybe. Something.

“…”

Well what does he do with it now?

Addiction

((Fair warning: The last time I have written a fanfic...it was 4 years ago, so warning, it is bad.))  (( @that-corny-guard )) Everyone has a person in their life that they would take a bullet for. This person is seen as the whole world. This person can take a  breath and the other could simply just love that. Well Jeremy just has this person in his life. Another man which smiles and makes Jeremy smile, like it's a disease. The presence of him is like an addiction to Jeremy and he always wants it. Even the soft kisses are an addiction. Whenever he gets lucky to see him, the world seems to stop and he would just want to be there forever. Laying on the couch, Jeremy simply stared at the ceiling with a smile on his face.This addiction of his named Alex was in the kitchen, grabbing something from the fridge. He gotten free time today from his terrible household as Alex was left alone for a while, giving Jeremy a free opportunity to stop by for a visit. While staring into space, Jeremy came back into reality as a hand was waved in front of his face, only see that addicting smile that he loved so much. Blinking back into reality, he smiled back seeing Alex leaning down above him. “There y-you are..thought y-you were going to take forever,” Alex pouted at Jeremy’s comment as he set the soda down on the nearby coffee table. “I wasn’t that long, I was thirsty.” Alex commented as he looked at Jeremy, who was taking up the whole couch to himself. He pouted as Jeremy raised an eyebrow of question. “Also move your legs, I wanna siit.” He poked at one of Jeremy’s legs, causing Jeremy to jump up with a squeak. “H-Hey you quit that.” Jeremy swatted away Alex’s hand as the blonde laughed. “If you don’t move them..I will sit on you...or worse, lay on you,” Alex playfully threatened as Jeremy glared. “Y-You wouldn’t,” With a smile, Alex then proceeded to flop on the brunette, a loud squeal erupting. “A-Alex!” Jeremy squeaked out, Alex laughing into the male’s chest while laying on him. Knowing that he could not get Alex off him, Jeremy grumbled in defeat as he messed with Alex’s hair. A hum would be quietly heard from Alex, causing Jeremy to chuckle as he continued. His hair was soft, and Jeremy would mentally note of this. His hair became an another addiction, loving the feel of it between his fingers. People do say that addiction can take over someone's life. Well he could agree with this statement, Alex becoming a big part of his life and becoming that addiction which everyone was told to be aware of. “Jere-bear..you are gone from the world again.” A poke to Jeremy’s nose, causing him to squeak while Alex chuckled. Jeremy removed his hand from the blonde’s head and his face became flushed of a deep red due to the fact that he just stared off into space again. A hand on Jeremy’s face made him become shy and wanting to hide his face, all he saw was Alex smiling at him as he did this. The green emerald eyes revealed from Jeremy’s hair, making Alex’s smile grow. “I see your eyes.” Jeremy blinked at Alex’s comment before going to move the bangs back, causing Alex to stop him. “No..leave them be..I just wanna look at them is all..” Snickering, Alex held back Jeremy’s bangs and lovingly stared into his eyes, Jeremy red as he could get but smiling. After a while of staring, Alex would let Jeremy hide his face again, leaving a kiss onto his cheek before letting the bangs go, then going back to burying his face into Jeremy’s neck. He relaxed as he rubbed Alex’s back lovingly, feeling the other male relaxing under Jeremy’s touch. Within this constant cycle, a realization hit him and made him smile. Addiction is not a right word for this, love is what this is. Yet he felt this as an addiction as well because he knew..he knew that, This is an addiction that Jeremy never wanted to get rid of, and hoped to have by his side for the rest of his life, to make him smile forever and ever as the world would stop.

Working on the parole fic idea bits here

I was thinking about how to endear Albedo to Rook.

The first thing that came to mind was Rooks first unscheduled meeting with Albedo. He shows up unannounced and finds Albedo with contraband gene alteration tech. And he angrily admonishes Albedo for it. Albedo just looks at him and admits he can't stand looking at his reflection anymore.

"And you're willing to risk reincarceration?"

And Albedo responds with and emphatic "Yes"

And that's where their understanding begins.

Rook takes Albedo to an Undertown salon. He gets his hair dyed as a way to reclaim the form.

He also thanks Rook

Rook requests he not mention it, and also doesn't note the parole breaking contraband on his visit report.
