//Hi friends! Long time no see. Popping in to explain why I've been gone.

I was in a car accident at the end of January, and suffered a concussion. While I am and have been recovering since that time, it hasn't gone away, and as a result, I am trying my best to limit screen time, unless its absolutely necessary.

I am so frustrated by this development - I was really excited to jump back into roleplaying! Sadly, my hiatus will have to last a little longer.

I WILL be back, however. I love writing too much - both off and on tumblr. So please wait for me, if you can. This isn't goodbye. I still have stories to tell! Just pressing pause for a little while.

Love you all! Hope to be back soon <3

//Well. It's been about nine months, which is a lot longer than I intended to be gone. Truthfully, I still have the remnants of that concussion, which is ever-so frustrating. I didn't plan on disappearing that long, especially when I was in such a good roleplay groove. I don't know if anyone's even still around...

That said, I do want to try coming back one more time. Very slowly, maybe a thread at a time until I work my way back into this, but I can't just disappear without giving this one last shot. I've been roleplaying on tumblr for over a decade - it's fun and comfortable and I don't want to say goodbye just yet.

If you're still around and you remember me and you'd like to write sometime again, like this post/let me know. If not, idk maybe I'll try writing fanfiction again XD we'll see!

[xmenwickedgame]

//sharing from my other blog. Idk if anyone's still around but I in no way shape or form can let this AU go. So let's give this one more try!

[mcflymemes]

PROMPTS FROM WICKED *  assorted dialogue from the screenplay, adjust as necessary

it's good to see me, isn't it?

no need to respond. that was rhetorical.

because there has been so much rumor and speculation... innuendo, outuendo... let me set the record straight.

why does wickedness happen?

that's a good question.

like every family, they had their secrets.

one thing led to another, as it so often does.

i'm right here. i always will be.

you want to see something wonderful?

what have you done this time?

now you've made your sister cry.

you see... it couldn't have been easy.

as you can imagine, i have much to attend to.

is it true you were her friend?

you must understand, it was... a long time ago.

remember, it's not goodbye, it's farewell.

they're going to miss me so much.

you know what i believe? strangers are just people i've never met.

what? what are you staring at? do i have something in my teeth?

let's get this over with.

i for one am sorry that you're forced to live with this.

it's my intention to major in sorcery.

perhaps i could help.

offering to help someone you don't know with a skill you don't have. i'm sure everyone's duly impressed.

i could care less what other people think.

i doubt that's true.

i'll miss you.

if anything should happen to her...

you can of course come visit me whenever you want!

how tragically beautiful you are.

i just need to find my room.

this was my chance. my new start.

magic is merely the mind's attempt to wrap itself around the impossible.

i shall tutor you privately.

thank you for covering for me.

how long have you had this talent?

if you can learn to use your powers in the right way...

do you really think this is fair?

i'm just shutting the door.

i saved you some space, by the way.

how did you do it? tell me.

i can keep a secret.

some of us are different.

we cannot escape the past.

the past helps explain our present circumstances.

who is responsible for this?

it's all right. i have no friends.

once you learn to harness your emotions, the sky's the limit.

this is much bigger than just some words on a chalkboard.

is this how you go through life, running amok, nearly trampling anyone in your path?

i guess there's a first time for everything.

were you looking for something? or someone?

i met the rudest person last night.

what do you do for fun around here?

i would do anything for you.

it was nothing. i love helping others.

i'm about to have the happiest night of my life!

i don't follow.

what's in the punch?

i don't feel sorry for you! you're great!

my personal opinion is that you do not have what it takes.

i hope you prove me wrong. i doubt you will.

i can't watch.

it's not like it's your fault.

may i cut in?

that was your very first party?

you tell me a secret.

you really don't have to do that.

i can't wear things like that anyway.

pink goes good with green.

i'm afraid it's out of our hands.

you're not being told the whole story.

somebody's got to do something!

you think i'm really stupid, don't you.

you don't need to be scared of me.

you think i want to be this way?

so i should just keep my mouth shut? is that what you're saying?

you're bleeding.

this is your chance to make good.

i've heard so much about you.

i am changing my name.

don't you cry. you're going to have the wonderfullest time.

something bad is happening to them. they need you.

what did i tell you?

you've known all along... from the moment you met me.

you must trust me.

that's why i need you.

i meant every word about you having a home here.

I've done my best to be respectful but there are some classic scenarios in here which might be unrealistic. This is also based off my own c-ptsd. - J

"Hey, look at me. Look at me, it's not real."

"What did your therapist say? Can you use the phone camera trick?"

"I promise, there's nothing there. You're okay. You're safe."

"Take a deep breath. Look at me."

"Can you do your 5-4-3-2-1? Would that help?"

"Let me take your hand. See? I'm nice and solid."

"Are you - hey, you there? Can you see me? Oh, no..."

"They're not here. It's just us."

"Wake up. Wake up!"

"What are you... seeing?"

"Slow breaths. Nice and slow."

"Are you having a flashback?"

"Ow, ow, okay, you're hurting me, loosen your grip -"

"Why do you keep looking up at the ceiling?"

"... are you - are you scared of me?"

"I promise I'm not going to hurt you."

"You don't have to apologise to me."

"Are you in there?"

"Hold on, uh - I can help -"

"No, no! What are you doing here? Why are you here!?"

"I can't get out, can't get out -"

"You're not real, you're not real -"

"I can-can't br-brea-breathe-"

"I keep thinking they're going to come back."

"I don't want to go back there again!"

"I'm so scared."

"It's never going to be over, is it?"

"I'm broken. I'm fucked in the head."

"No, no, no no no no-"

"Get me out of here! Please!"

Such an exquisite being.

[theletteraesc]

The Atlantine Sea is ten sleep-years long. The first thing he sees on the visor above his stasis chamber is that only seven years, two hundred-ninety days have passed. The second is the flashing red light in the corner of the display that tells him MAGNUS’s sensors have detected something.

Distress beacon with life signs, MAGNUS says to the transponder implanted behind Erik’s ear. His voice is soft, modulated in deference to Erik’s sleep-addled nervous system. Unknown origins. The black box is encrypted. Recommend retrieval or termination.

Unlike most sentient shipsystems, MAGNUS lacks the imperative against taking human-class life. The battleship hums with threat, the heads-up display–now, with the stasis visor off, projected directly into his visual cortex–indicating weapons at the ready. More data scrolls past, MAGNUS considering and discounting likely sources of origin, trajectories, the probabilities behind events that would set a lifepod adrift in deep space.

“Could Shaw be involved?” Erik asks. It’s the only probability he’s interested in. His legs still shake as he trots down the corridor to Magda‘s cargo bay. The stasis field, for all that it’s frozen his body at thirty-three waking years, can’t keep his muscle tone perfect; the human body still has a loathing of such complete stillness.

“Negative,” MAGNUS tells him, sounding wry enough that Erik wants to laugh. “The telemetry included with the distress beacon suggests a trajectory not compatible with Caspartina’s known jump coordinates. And no explosives or biologicals detected, aside from the occupant.”

“Transfer to screen, then,” Erik says. The wall screen in the cargo office flickers to life,  the ship’s exterior cameras focused on a small, slim tube. The lifepod hovers against the infinite black, against a backdrop of stars. “Can you tell me anything else?”

“The occupant scans as metahuman,” MAGNUS says.

Hope surges in Erik’s chest, keen and heady and the clearest thing he’s felt since easing out of stasis. He hasn’t met one like him in almost fifteen waking-years, not since the Exodus from Terra–no, not since he had seen Shaw, but he refuses to think of himself being in any way like Shaw at all.

“Bring it in then,” Erik orders. “Standard decontamination procedures.”

He paces and growls through the procedure, watching the office display as MAGNUS ticks through the interminable checklist. In the echoing hold of the cargo bay the lifepod is a tiny thing, the irregularities of its surface drawn out by the lights. It is opaque, no windows, heavily shielded against the radiation that came along with the interstellar winds the pod would use to aid propulsion. In one corner of the display, MAGNUS’s read on the pod’s life signs remains steady, although neurological activity remains bizarrely blank.

“The neuro readout is also shielded,” MAGNUS says. “I could perhaps hack the firewall, but I would not recommend it.”

Anything could be on the other side of opening that pod, its occupant in a coma or raving mania or perfect sanity. Erik arms himself with a few small metallic projectiles–no guns, not in the buffered confines of the bay–and approaches the space-chilled hulk of the pod.

Without warning, one segment of the pod’s carapace pops open, a hiss of escaping steam like the hiss of a dragon. Erik nearly lashes out, the fear too acute not to react; he recalls the needles just in time.

“Vital signs remain stable,” MAGNUS reports. “Stasis field generator is depowering.”

The steam clears. Weapons at the ready, Erik steps forward, and when the last of the fog vanishes, he sees the metahuman lying there, pale, stasis-slender, with the loose muscles of a body in sleep.

Such an exquisite being. Shaw had said those words to him once, to a terrified eleven-year-old boy. He hears the words now in his own voice, stunned, his thoughts revolving around metahuman and strange and dangerous and beautiful.

The metahuman is young in body, maybe twenty-five waking years at the most, and, at least superficially, male. Although stasis has smoothed his muscles down, there is something to him that suggests strength and completeness, a being that has grown into itself. Brown hair cut short, although on its way to being long, freckles washed out by lack of sunlight. With the breathing mask and visor having swung away, Erik can see his face, which is fine-chiseled with a bold nose and more freckles, and red lips parted softly, tantalizingly in sleep.

Tactile stimulation is desirable after the discontinuation of stasis, MAGNUS says to the subaural feed. It’s this–and only this, not years of inhabiting either stasis or revenge–that has Erik running a finger down the young man’s arm, the responsive muscles of his chest. Under his touch the young man shifts, breath deepening and quickening.

He should move back, Erik knows. To be caught leaning over the lifepod as if entranced, as if wanting… He braces himself to step away but before he can a strange new voice arrests him, speaking with a clarity that Erik has never heard.

<I>Hello</i> says the voice in his head that isn’t MAGNUS as stasis-glazed eyes flicker open. They are blue, blue beyond description. <I>Hello, Erik Lehnsherr</i>.

"If I were a lesser man, I would confess my heart to you here, where no eyes can witness our folly."

"You speak of honor, my lord, but your gaze tells a different story."

"Duty binds us to another, but it is my heart that is drawn to you."

"A single dance is all I ask. Let the world say what they will."

"Your marriage contract is written in ink, but our bond was sealed in blood."

"There is no greater treason than what my heart conspires when I see you."

"A crown is a heavy burden, my lady, but it would rest lighter if you were by my side."

"Tell me your heart belongs elsewhere, and I shall never speak of this again."

"It would be a scandal if they knew how often I think of you."

"A marriage of alliances is what they see, but between us, I see more."

"Your touch is forbidden, but I crave it more than all the gold in the kingdom."

"My honor demands I walk away, yet here I remain, waiting for you."

"Shall we speak of politics, or shall we speak of what truly lies between us?"

"Your father’s alliances are well and good, but none can offer what I do—my heart."

"Would you defy your House to be with me? For I would burn the world to claim you."

"Let the court whisper all they wish. My only concern is your heart."

"There are eyes upon us, but do they know how deeply I adore you?"

"Do not speak of duty when your hand fits so perfectly in mine."

"One day, my love, they will write songs of the battles we fought to be together."

"If I must marry her, then know my heart will always belong to you."

"The realm would shatter if they knew the depths of my affection for you."

"A prince may sit upon the throne, but I rule only when you are near."

"You’re promised to another, but every word you speak feels like a vow to me."

"Your kiss would be the end of my honor, yet I cannot resist the temptation."

"I will marry for duty, but I shall love only for you."

"My kingdom is vast, but without you, it is empty."

"If you give me a sign, just one, I will renounce all that ties me to her."

"The stars above witness what I cannot say aloud—I am yours."

"Is it love or a dangerous game we play, my lady?"

"I would bend the knee to no one but you."

"Your name is on the lips of courtiers, but it is my heart that whispers it at night."

"I see the burden of your crown, and I wish only to share it with you."

"I could face a thousand armies, but your smile is what truly unmans me."

"They say the gods have destined our paths, yet my heart rebels for you."

"A kiss from you would ruin me, but what a glorious ruin it would be."

"There is no realm so vast that it could keep me from you."

"One glance, and all thoughts of duty flee. I live only for your love."

"What use is a crown when the heart is so divided?"

"I see the banners of our Houses in battle, yet I dream only of your embrace."

"Speak plainly, my lord. Do you wish for an alliance or something far more dangerous?"

"I will not ask for your heart, but know mine is already yours."

"The court dances around us, but you are the only step I wish to take."

"Your hand is promised to him, yet your heart beats for me. I feel it."

"Our families may be at war, but I long to lay down my sword at your feet."

"One touch from you, and the world could burn. I would care not."

"This is not the place to speak of love, yet I find no other words come to mind."

"Do not ask me to be content with only your friendship when I desire so much more."

"Your marriage may be arranged, but love is something we can still claim for ourselves."

"I have fought wars, but the greatest battle is hiding my affection for you."

"Would you forsake your titles if it meant you could have me?"

"My lady, one kiss, and I would renounce all crowns and titles for you."

"We are betrothed to others, yet my heart chooses you every time."

"I long for a life with you, but I fear the cost would be too great."

"The court will gossip, but they cannot understand what we share."

"One secret look from you, and I will forget all loyalties."

"They see us as pawns, but my feelings for you are real."

"A night with you would be worth all the betrayals of the realm."

"Marry him if you must, but know I will always wait for you."

"Our union would tear the realm apart, yet I cannot let you go."

"The gods have willed our paths to cross, but only we can choose what comes next."

“Our houses are enemies, my lord, yet here you stand, offering your hand.”

“You know well that a marriage between us would seal more than a treaty.”

“I should not want you, but how can I resist when the stars seem to conspire for us?”

“Duty and love seldom walk the same path, but perhaps we can change that.”

“Your gaze lingers longer than is proper, but I cannot say I wish it otherwise.”

“If my heart belonged to my house, I might deny you… but it belongs to you.”

“What can I offer a prince who already possesses a kingdom? Surely not my heart alone.”

“We have danced around this long enough. Say it—do you love me or not?”

“This court is filled with lies and shadows, yet you… you are the one truth I cling to.”

“If we are caught, my lady, it will not just be scandal—it will be war.”

“The crown sits heavy on your brow, but when you smile at me, you wear no weight at all.”

“It is dangerous to love you, but a life without danger is no life at all.”

“We speak in whispers, but my heart shouts for you.”

“You have kingdoms to conquer, and I have a heart to guard—yet both will fall if we stand together.”

“Even if the world burns for our love, I will never regret a moment of it.”

“What would your father think, seeing his son court the daughter of his enemy?”

“I should leave before we are discovered, but you have a way of making me forget caution.”

“Marrying you would be the end of my family, but losing you would be the end of me.”

“Does the crown prince bow to no one? Because I have seen you bend at my feet.”

“If your heart is as cold as the steel you wield, then why do you seek my warmth?”

“They say dragons and wolves cannot share a den, yet here we are.”

“My marriage was arranged, but my love… that is my own choice.”

“You think we could be happy in the shadows? I would bring you into the light.”

“They’ll say you’ve bewitched me, but I know it is I who sought your spell.”

“We cannot be together—too many eyes watch us, too many mouths would speak.”

“I cannot marry you, but I will not marry another.”

“This ring… I stole it from my father’s treasury, but it belongs to you now.”

“Our love is a secret, but it is the most real thing in this cursed court.”

“Every time you walk past me without a word, my heart breaks a little more.”

“Do you think this cloak hides us from the world? No—only our hearts can.”

“The king may order my marriage, but he cannot order my love.”

“I have sworn fealty to the crown, but to you… I give my heart.”

“If this court knew the truth of us, they would tear us apart.”

“You stand too close, my lord. But do not think for a moment that I will step away.”

“Would you still love me if I had no title? If I were no one at all?”

“The political alliance may be settled, but what of the alliance between us?”

“We are but pawns in their game, yet I find I am drawn to you all the same.”

“A kiss in the dark—was it a promise or a farewell?”

“I love you, but I will not be your queen if I cannot be your equal.”

“If your father knew what passed between us, his sword would be the least of our worries.”

“A crown is not what I seek from you; I want only your heart.”

“They think I love you for power, but the truth is far simpler—I love you because you are you.”

“We have danced at a dozen balls, but I crave only the dance we share in secret.”

“Even if the kingdom falls, my love for you will stand eternal.”

“You say I must marry for duty. But I wish to marry for love.”

“Every look from you feels like a stolen kiss in a room full of spies.”

“They would call us traitors for this, but love knows no loyalty to crowns.”

“When you speak of the future, do you see me beside you, or is my place already taken?”

“Let the court gossip, let them plot—I care not. I care only for you.”

“You think I courted you for your title? No, I courted you because you are the only one who truly sees me.”

“This sword may defend my honor, but it is your love that defends my soul.”

“I should not love you, but when have I ever obeyed the rules of court?”

“Your kiss may be forbidden, but I would rather have it than any crown.”

“If this is the last time we meet, let it be with love on our lips, not sorrow.”

“You think I belong to the throne? I belong to you.”

“There will be no heirs without love, and there will be no love without you.”

“I do not seek a king—I seek a partner, a love that burns through the ages.”

“In another life, perhaps I could have courted you openly, without fear.”

“We may be enemies, but my heart knows no such war.”

“Even if I lose everything, I will never lose my love for you.”
