Summary
Trapped in Harrow's mind, Gideon can still feel everything that happens to her. A short meditation on how much necromancy hurts.
---
I never realized before this— that pinched face you make all the time? I thought it was just annoyance, you looking at me like I was something disgusting you stepped in. It was pain. You make that face because you’re in pain all the time. -

For AI-less Whumptober day 4: painful transformation, non-consensual body modifications, “you’re a monster”
-
When Nimona first noticed the itch of haven’t-transformed-in-a-while, she had other things to worry about. The scientists were trying to extract another tube of blood from her, and she hated the feeling of a needle beneath her skin. [...]
“It hurts to not shift,” she told the psychiatrist, who had become less and less patient.
“Perhaps it is your body reverting to its untainted state. Think of how a fever rises to burn out the infection.”
“It’s not an infection, though! It’s part of me. It’s who I am,” she pleaded.
“If that is the case, who you are is a monster.” -

Summary
Written for Febuwhump Day 8: "make it stop"
---
Raine’s body spasmed and the Collector’s hold over them finally broke. Their body reverted back to flesh. A moment of relief— but Belos was still there, the green sludge still inside them, leaking from their eyes as Raine squeezed them shut. “Let— me— go!”
Though the voice was Raine’s own, their body punctuated each word by flinging them around. They slammed against a wall and something cracked. Raine screamed. They were thrown to the ground and flung out their arms just in time to land on their hands and knees. Make it stop make it stop— they were still a puppet— why won’t it stop? Green sludge dripped from their mouth. They wanted to cough it all out but their ribs ached with even the motion of their heaving breaths. They wanted to cry but only sludge would come from their eyes.

Raine's possession by the Collector and Belos, with a focus on the horror and pain. -

Summary
“Another step. Crowley muffles the end of the blade, lets it touch Aziraphale's chest. Looks down into shadowed eyes and the end of his world. His hands tremble. It hits skin, draws blood from Aziraphale's wrist that drips down and spreads in the snow.
'It's alright, Crowley. I forgive you.’”
Or, Hell force Crowley to deal with Aziraphale once and for all.
