"Should I even ask?"

[mwebber]

ghibli-esque magical realism au where teenage mark is cursed to transform into this loping beast of a dog after killing a forest spirit at the behest of his father and wanders the wilderness resigned to his fate when..

lo and behold, he meets another spirit (seb) who demands that he show them the world beyond the forest to search for their brother in exchange for finding the cure to his predicament

they embark on the journey together as hesitant partners, mark with a lingering distrust of spirits/magical beings, and seb with the humiliation that they need to shackle themselves to this useless lump of fur if they want to go beyond the boundaries of their home and find their lost sibling

they eventually become friends, with mark letting his walls down, and seb getting humbled by the great big world..

but gasp! it turns out seb never knew how to cure mark and they were just using him, even though they feel really bad about it bc now they have Feelings, and it's doubly troubling because seb needs a tether to mark's soul to survive outside the forest, but mark doesn't feel particularly inclined to help seb after getting betrayed............

uh oh! time is running out on the cure for mark's condition, and everything is going to shit for both of them, and mark leaves it to the very last possible second before he decides not to be a killer again, and he very reluctantly comes back to save seb at the cost of time he could have spent searching for a cure

seb is sooo relieved but when mark confesses why he saved them, the dots connect and seb wants to curse mark forever and ever for what he did

but the au is about breaking cycles of pain, so after an angsty and mostly silent journey home, seb and mark choose forgiveness before parting ways.....

mark goes to sleep at the edge of the forest as a beast and wakes up as a boy again. he can't perceive magic anymore in this form, but he can see seb bc they're still tied by their souls, and seb doesn't look like a weird talking tree shrub anymore, but a ghostly blonde kid who looks to be around mark's age, peering at him from just inside the treeline

when seb tries to step outside the border of the forest, they're stopped--not even their link to mark can make them manifest into something corporeal

but mark can enter the forest, and he can hug seb! he vows to love the forest and magical beings and reject his father's teachings

seb is like, love all magical beings equally?? or

and mark is like, no, well. i think i might like one magical being more than the rest

they share an innocent kiss and live happily ever

(mark eventually becomes a hermit of an old man living in a quaint cottage in the forest and taking care of the wildlife... when he passes away, a she-wolf gives birth to a pup in the very same forest near seb's tree. it opens its hazel-green eyes, and seb knows immediately that they and mark are tied forever <3)

[demigod-tears]

One angel. One demon. I swallowed them whole without even thinking. At first they were lovers, Now they wage wars inside me. Look at me, my skin encrusted with ash. Smoke billowing from my nostrils. My wings made up of lead feathers. A crown of horns hangs heavy with the weight of twilight royalty. White hot to the touch, it's best you keep your distance. My fingers leave scars, the kind that never fade away. Branding myself into your history, making sure you never forget me. Don't believe me? Look at the chaos I've left behind. Torn between my angelic need for creation And my demonic addiction to destruction. Creating monuments out of the things I love, then burning them to the ground. Placing my heart at the top of each one, adorning it with my soul. Can you see those heaps of ash? They're nothing but devilishly Angelic effigies of the past. Stuck somewhere between midnight and the rising dawn. The devil and angel both want my heart, so I keep giving it away. And giving it away, And giving it away, And giving it away, But I just can't seem to die.

The prince walked through the palace's hallways. His red cape swaying from the movements. Yuraea's jewelry shimmering in the midday light filtering through the windows. His faithful white furred feline, Raqiq, following behind. The young royal was heading towards the banquet hall for lunch and to greet someone who was visiting for the day. Perhaps a few. Yuraea did not all of the details just yet. Only that his father told him to be ready for a guest. He took a moment to give the feline a few pets. Then continued to his destination.

He had taken a bite of cheese and a few apple slices. Glancing up upon hearing a certain word.

"Magician? Does this require my attention?"
