random rambles

so I was asleep, but then I had a dream about darling being pregnant, The dream was simply a lazy morning with darling still in bed and Sam making breakfast for them, then like 2 mins later darling walks in, one of Sam's sweaters hanging loose on their 3-4 month stomach

Why did I think of this? It's cute nonetheless

☆Darlin' & Darling are two different characters ...

DARLIN' - badass werewolf with no self care that could crush your skull if they wanted to

DARLING - overworked demon working for the department that doesn't know what they like feeding on (or so Vega makes it seem)

I really like Vega so l don't want him and darling's little thing being disregarded by the community which is why l get so over-protective😭

When Sam was studying at D.A.M.N Darlin' was shooting people with their nerf like the little threat to society they were and still are 💀🤚

Characters : Sam, Darlin', Alexis Tags : Grief, Main Character Death, Heavy Angst No Comfort, Gendered Listener (Fem Darlin')

For maximum experience, listen to this while reading

Author's Note : I've always liked the idea that if Sam and Darlin' were ever to have a conversation on whether Darlin' would ever be a vampire and live an eternal life with Sam; they'd decline.

Because I think that it'd make a nice resolution to the conflict that Alexis brings. I for one, love Alexis as a character. Her actions are cruel and unjustified, but she does have quite the tragic narrative in my opinion. Sam having to live a temporary life with Darlin' would show his difference in character and attitude towards love. Alexis once mentioned in the Monarchial Summit that she turned Sam because she wanted him, and I would like to see Sam experience that same "want" over someone but dealing with it in a different way; relishing his time with Darlin' instead of subjecting them to eternal life like Alexis did with him. It's a "breaking of a cycle" of sorts, I guess.

And that's also why I added Alexis in this comic, because I also want her to be the person witnessing this decision that Sam made and the grief he's had to live with as a result. Because I think she has the mindset that if you love someone, that you do whatever it takes to make them stay, while with Sam, he's willing to go through the grief and pain precisely BECAUSE he loves Darlin'.

Also the comet is Halley's comet, that passes by earth every 79 or so years!

W.I.P Weekend

I come with another snippet of my current untitled W.I.P., a Redactedverse fic that sees the pack undergo an unexpected magical ritual, resulting in some cores swapping. (Catch the other snippets I’ve released here, here, here, here, and here, if you are interested.) I’ve been working on this fic for awhile, and while it is still not done, I’m happy to be able to say I’m starting to see an end in sight. So far, the fic has surpassed 50K words, making it my longest Redactedverse fic to date. To celebrate that progress, I thought I’d share a bit more with you today. I’ll keep working at the draft, and I look forward to whenever I’m finally able to share the full story with you all!

Tagging anyone who would like to share a WIP of any type, plus eight talented friends (one for each paragraph I shared) @miyowmiyow, @autisticempathydaemon, @pinksparkl, @falkea, @belovedbow, @dwead-piwate-meggers, @artbykays, and @starlitangels. (No pressure to participate, as always.)

Darling paced back and forth across the large, cavernous room, holding their phone a few inches away from their ear. A barrage of swear words and seething anger spilled out from the phone speaker. 

“Okay, yes, Damien, I understand you’re upset, but you’re acting like I did this to Hux on purpose,” Darling ground out, just about fed up with the temperamental fire-elemental on the other end of the call. 

More furious phrases poured out of the phone. Darling lazily let their wrist bend so that the phone moved away from their ear. 

“Feel better?” they placated once Damien quieted again. Darling pressed their lips into a thin line. “Look, I don’t know what else to tell you. We’re doing our best to figure out what happened and how to reverse it. Just hang tight and keep calm.” They paused, chewing on their lower lip. As fun as it was to push Damien’s buttons, Darling knew that the man was well within his rights to lose his temper with them, if not because of his own confusion, then for his worry for Hux. “How’s Huxley doing?”

The anger evaporated from Damien’s voice. <em>“He’s doing okay, I think. Trying to play it cool, but…”</em> Darling heard him expel a tired sigh. <em>”I know he’s freaked out of his mind, and disoriented as hell. To be cut off from his element, I… I can’t articulate how truly painful that is for an elemental, especially one as strongly connected to his magic as Hux. It’s lik-”</em> Damien sputtered. <em>”Well, actually, maybe you can relate. Sorry,”</em> he muttered, embarrassed at his faux pas. <em>”You must be going through the same thing. H-How are you dealing with it all?”</em>

Darling went rigid, shifting their weight from foot to foot as they rolled their ankles inwards, one after the other. “I’m hanging in there,” they answered in a monotone, leaning against the wall. “Um, I gotta go, Damien. Don’t hesitate to call for anything with Hux, and I’ll keep you updated with anything we find out.” They scraped their nails against the wall, yearning to feel their claws once again. “We’ll fix this, I promise. Don’t let Hux get too comfy with my wolf. This’ll be fixed in no time.” 

After Damien said goodbye, Darling hung up the phone. On the other side of the room, Sweetheart was engrossed in their own phone conversation. 

“Geordi, please, hold it together,” Sweetheart sternly suggested. “This is an unprecedented situation for all of us. Your partner is going to need you to be strong while I work with the necessary resources to undo whatever the fuck was done.”
