Gays In The Woods Trying Not To Die

It’s the end of the world… except it’s not. Ragnarok is the fabled end of the worlds, but demigods, einherjar, and the Norse gods themselves have been fighting it off for centuries. So, when the message goes out for everyone to stay calm and let the heroes figure it out, almost everyone complies, and most people calm down. There's only one problem. How are they supposed to survive in the meantime? There will be slowburn Prinxety and Intrulogicality. I'll try to update at least a little every day. Reminder that reblogs are greatly appreciated!! (please read the pinned post) [This AU will contain some blood, injury, fighting, death mentions, mentions of neglect and abandonment, and potentially major character death (I haven't decided yet) please take care and stay safe!! -Author/Mod Cas]

Taglist(s):

Let me know if you want to be put on/taken off at any point! Let me know if you want to be tagged in any combination of 

Chapters

Relevant asks (anything that could raise or answer questions about backstory or has a scene attached)

Log/Journal Entries 

All of these will build on/progress the story, but most of it can be inferenced when you read the chapters and I get that everyday updates might be a lot

Sending asks:

- Please do!!

- You can send them directly to the character, in fact, they can help move along the story and reveal more about the characters so please go ahead and interact with the kiddos

-You can also send asks directly to me (please use non gendered terms and they/them pronouns)! I’ll assume your ask is for me unless you address a character by name 

-You can also also send in prompts and I'll write them as long as I have time, they're sfw, and they don't conflict with the story :) 

Submissions:

-If my AU inspires you to make literally anything please please share it with me

-Art, writing, moodboards, quizzes, anything

-You can also totally tag me and make a post of your own

Reblogging Rules:

Reblogs are awesome!! Definitely never be afraid to reblog, it helps keep my motivation up so much. The rules are just basic things-

Don’t:

-Tag romantic ships that aren’t there, even if something could technically be read romantically, unless its one of the ships in the blog description, that’s not what I’m going for

-Tag r*mr*m, yes this gets its own bullet because a. aaah ew and b. I will focus a lot on Roman and Remus loving and supporting each other because I’m a sucker for strong sibling relationships and platonic relationships in general

-Be mean to me? I don’t really know how to phrase this. Constructive criticism is cool when I ask for it, but otherwise, I am already pretty insecure about my writing, and if you don’t like it I’d rather you just leave it be, you can block the “ragnarok au” tag or this blog if it really squicks you out or anything

Do:

-Leave comments in the reblogs or tags!! It makes my day and encourages me to keep writing

-Tag triggers, even if they’re already in the warnings 

-Interact with polls and stuff when I put them up!

Remus? What causd Ragnarok in the first place? Cause being a ghost trapped in a cottage in the woods for years isn’t really a good way to keep updated on the world around you.

Has something like this happened before? What happens if the world ends? ~ 🌙

Uhhh, I dunno what really started it this time, there are a few events that could be the “cause” but none of them are really,,, knowable? to mortals? I dunno how to phrase that.

But yeah, apparently it’s happened before, like, Ragnarok is basically always trying to happen, it even got almost this far before but that got like, erased from history or something, and aside from that it hasn’t really progressed like this, because the people in charge, the heroes and einherjar and whoever have stopped it in time.

And if the world ends? Eh, I won’t be around to see it. The world won’t technically end bc there’ll be like new gods still there (a bunch of the old ones will die though) and two people left, but it’ll be wild for them. The moon and sun’ll be gone and it just won’t be great.

PAT! WHATS YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL AND WHY? Also, got some new dad jokes? I ran out

What do you do on your free time Virge?

I dunno, I listen to a lot, like podcasts and music and such. Lo let me borrow a Rubik’s cube too, so combine those two and I’m pretty happy.

Hey, Remus. Do you and Roman have that thing that people say twins have where you know what the other is feeling or are you two just terrifyingly good at reading each others body language? Also, who was born first?

Roman: Technically speaking we don’t know who was born first, it was a home birth and the midwife was more concerned with nobody dying than who was who and where, but I know in my heart that I was born first because there is no way that that is a big brother.

Remus: Maybe I’m just a sitcom bully big brother >:), as for the mind reading? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Roman: Does it really matter? I still, regrettably, can figure out what this idiot’s feeling whether I want to or not.

Remus: Like you’re any better, dramatic bastard.

Hm.

Most people didn’t pin Remus as the perceptive type, probably due to his tendency to not need much effort to, himself, be perceived. In all honesty, Remus wouldn’t jump to call himself particularly perceptive, but it became obvious to him that he had to be, unless everyone else in the world was willfully ignoring the little details. Like now.

He’d been talking to Virgil (kinda walking on eggshells because the boy seemed more easily grossed out than Roman, who’d been the only person Remus’d gotten to talk to for months before they landed in the cabin) when there was a knocking on the doorframe. 

At first Remus had just sorta brushed it off, the old house made a shit ton of weird noises so a little knocking wasn’t anything too concerning, but then Logan started writing something down as the knocks went on. Then he and Roman talked a little back and forth (Remus had still been listening to Virgil at that point so he wasn’t really sure what they’d said) and Logan quickly got up and left. Not great. Worse, Roman sorta deflated and looked after Logan even after he closed the door before coming over to where Conversation#2 (Remus and Virgil’s) was happening that Remus forgot to pay attention to.

So something happened.

Virgil had stopped talking when Roman’d come over, but Remus’s twin was uncharacteristically quiet. Remus scanned his face, but it wasn’t the bad kind of quiet, or even the good kind of quiet. 

“Ah,” he muttered, “My favorite flavor of Roman-silence, escapist daydreams.”

That snapped Roman out of it just enough to shove his brother lightly.

“Shut up.” 

It was half-laughing but it was also a “don’t ask” kind of shut up. However, Remus didn’t really feel like being agreeable. Before he could voice his rebellion, his eyes happened to catch Virgil, who looked so confused it was fucking hilarious. 

Remus genuinely didn’t know how much of that short interaction with his brother had been verbal, because the twins had a habit of forgetting that not everyone could read the slightest shift in expression.

Virgil was just starting to retract into his hoodie like a mollusk, and Remus was faced with the decision between making Virgil feel bad again or taking advantage of Roman’s half-present state to tell the emo more than Ro would on his own.

Remus sighed and delayed his inevitable evil betrayal of his brother (trust him it’ll be cool as hell once he gets around to it) once more by waving a hand dismissively.

Also he prepared himself mentally to kick the ass of one Logan Ateneo if necessary which wouldn’t be so hard if the boy wasn’t so goddamn hot.
