    Summary

    Applejack couldn’t stop smoothing out her blazer on the walk to the Christmas party Rarity was hosting at the boutique. It wasn’t as if she’d been informed at the last minute, hell she’d been looking forward to it weeks before exam week had even started, but as she put up a hand to thank the car letting her cross the street, she noticed just how sweaty her palms were. Granny and Apple Bloom had insisted she bring a bottle of apple cider as a “housewarming gift,” as she’d missed the opening party the month prior, and approaching the building she saw in her dreams and over FaceTime calls, she was suddenly glad for the heavy grounding bottle under her arm. The blonde caught herself adjusting the neck of her outer layer again, subconsciously doing so, and groaned aloud into the night, running a hand through her newly cut hair instead while the other kept the bottle from making pleasant acquaintance with the concrete. Even that didn’t scratch the itching need to fidget. She felt too dressed up for the Christmas party, and yet she couldn’t help but feel nowhere near nice enough to see her soon-to-be-official, if all goes well, girlfriend for the first time since August.

    ...
    Or, the one where they get together.

    Summary

    It was on her way to lunch that someone grabbed her arm and started to drag her through the halls. Alarmed at first, she went to pull away, but she was hit with a familiar smell, Rarity, a sweet vanilla perfume she’d been buying since she was 11, and she instantly relaxed, letting herself be tugged. They weaved through the crowds of people rushing to get to the cafeteria, eventually turning a corner into a deserted bathroom that made the footfall outside sound like miles away, as if hearing music from another room. It was only then, really, that Applejack had any time to look at her friend, to really take her in for longer than a second. Her hair was frizzy, with flyaways falling out of every corner of her bun and into her face, lacking any of her usual jewelry. She wore an oversized Nirvana shirt draped over her body, hiding the curves she preferred to show off, her lips chapped and lacking their usual shade, eyes seeming bigger than they were without her mascara or eyeliner outlining them - Applejack had never seen anyone so beautiful. Rarity looked like she’d just rolled out of bed, and she had never wanted something as much as she wanted to tell her how gorgeous she was.

    Summary

    Juliet couldn’t fathom how gently her knight touched her when he was given the chance.

    She knew he wasn’t weak, not in the slightest, and yet he held back with her. She had spied on him training with other knights in the courtyard as he won against every opponent, sparks flying from their blades as they clashed. He was the roughest out there, wolf-like endurance - it made her head spin to watch him work. It was the only time she got to see him without his helmet, see him win, and then throw his head back and smile wide as he rested his blade on his shoulder in triumph. He always wore his helmet around Juliet, a sign of his dedication, a sign of his respect for her, but by the gods there had been times recently where she wanted to take it off of him herself and look at him up close - look at him the way only the sun had been allowed to. She’d heard the rumors through thin walls, whispers that Sir Kingsley had never taken a lover. Whispers wondering why such a renowned name had never shown interest in any of the maids like the other men his age. Juliet wanted to ask, wanted to get him alone, she wanted the answer. The strong, handsome, and unattainable man she called hers - she wanted to know him and all his secrets.

    Summary

    In this line of work, there were few things that caught Viv off guard. She'd learned, after operating on people for hours, exactly what makes them tick. Sometimes they acted out of pride, of desperation, for ulterior motives, acting on orders, or a myriad of assorted other motivations, but after a few broken bones it was quite easy to deduce their intentions. No matter who, they were all the same.

    Which is why Arthur Bennett fascinated her so.

    Summary

    “Ray?”

    They weren’t supposed to be up here, the two of them.

    She gazed at the stars, longing tucked into the edges of her dull ruby irises, not even looking his way when he asked. She hummed, though, a quiet thing, a quiet acknowledgement. The brunet took her lead, turning his own gaze to the stars, trying to find them beyond the glow of the city.

    It made it easier to ask, neither of them looking at the other, knowing she had no intent to look his way.

    “Do you think we’ll ever, really, be anything more than this?”

    Summary

    He was alone with the woman he would have bruised his knees for, scraped his hands across the pavement begging her to stay, just once more, and she had. She stayed past the rise of the sun, not that she probably realized it, and it was as if she had her own gravity, pulling him toward her in a way oh-so-welcome. He wondered if she knew he’d rip his heart out for her, that he’d let her rip it out with those sharp nails of hers if she wanted it. He never understood how God made Adam and Eve. How God had to take a rib from Adam to create his lover, how Adam didn’t rip it out himself when God offered him the concept of her, how he didn’t rip out another after she was created and give it to her as a sacrifice, as if she was the real deity there. Eve, more divine than the garden made for them, Eve, who ran hands through Adam’s hair, Eve, who smiled at her lover and watched him melt at her gaze, who convinced him to eat the fruit of sin, who was more powerful to him than the prospect of God’s wrath. Eryk would never have hesitated if Ray had been the one asking.

    ...
    Or, Eryk wakes up after a drunk and blurry night to find Ray lying beside him.

    Summary

    Looking in the mirror, a voice sounding like Gillion in his head told him to look at the bright side, that at least he was still here. He might not be alive, but he was still Chip. Each piece of him held memories, even the parts he’d lost. He’d always think of the hidden library and the joy on the faces on the Midnight Rose’s crew when he looked at where his lips should be, he’d think of training with Igneous when he looked at his sword-wielding skeletal hands, and looking at his ribs, he’d think of Jay’s smile.

    He wanted that to be more than enough, he really did.

    But it was so hard, not to be overwhelmed by it all. He took a breath, pulling the bandana back up to his forehead. The magic was instant, and his shoulders relaxed as he saw the boy he was used to in the mirror, the one with the chipped tooth and freckles and the boy who could get warmed by the sun. The sunkissed Chip, the one who wasn’t ghastly pale, the one in some stupid ass pajama pants and scars on his bare chest mixing with fiery tattoos. He forced a smile, watching his mask move with his will, stretching his hands and rolling out his neck.

    “Chip?”

    ...
    Or, Chip and Jay after the fight with Captain Widow. Mockingjay <3

    Summary

    Apple Bloom watched her sister look both ways before taking a few more steps down the driveway, ducking as the older girl looked back at the house one more time so she wouldn’t be caught peeping. When she dared to look back over the windowsill the girl was out of sight, probably already down the road, and all she could do was stare. Applejack was, quite frankly, the last person the redhead would ever suspect to sneak out - her inability to lie and dedication to honesty were probably some of the biggest traits in her whole personality. Pulling out of her stupor and almost tripping over her bedside table in the process, Apple Bloom reached for her phone, immediately opening Instagram and finding a familiar group chat.

     

    Bloom: i am actually in shock right now wtf did I just witness

     

    Scootaloo: ???

     

    Sweetie Belle: ^^ What?

     

    Bloom: AJ just snuck out?????

     

    It was looking to be an interesting summer.

    Summary

    Something was different about today, it was a feeling in his gut he couldn’t ignore.
    It was all the tapes’ fault, they started all of this.

    A box out in the woods, a call with Aimsey, and then it all came crashing down. If only his best friend - were they still best friends? - had told him she didn’t have a VHS player when he asked for one. Listening to them for the first time was the beginning of his blackouts, it wasn’t until he relistened a week later that he actually heard what was on them and comprehended what they were. He missed those days, when it all was fresh, when he was afraid of them, when he wasn’t “addicted.”

    He felt bad about the cat.

    Summary

    She was the most beautiful person in the world, in the eleven seas, in the universe - the pirate would never get over it. Never get over that or the golden emerald-encrusted wedding ring that lay on the left of the two curling, pointed, curious horns that emerged from the ocean of silver on her scalp.

    A collection of unconnected one-shots surrounding a pirate and a violinist in love.

    Summary

    Inviting Tommy over for dinner was not an uncommon thing in the Underscore-Beloved household. It was quite common actually, one night every few weeks where the blond would come over with a knapsack of ingredients and help them cook, or he’d entertain Michael and give the married couple a break so they could make dinner and relax, or he’d pull them all onto the couch and just talk - it was something that brought a smile to Tubbo’s face even on the days when most things couldn’t.

    What was uncommon, however, was Tommy asking if ex-president, revived corpse, the man who always smelled like cigarettes Wilbur Soot himself could join in on their dinner plans.

    Summary

    For not working at the damn place, Wilbur sure gave him a lot of things to do. Was it his fault he was at the tattoo parlor all the time? Absolutely. Was he a customer? Absolutely not. Did he steal the employee-only food all the time and tag along with Tommy, inadvertently interrupting his paid hours? Absolutely. But did he deserve to be given a broom and be told to take out the trash?

    Absolutely not, at least in his eyes.

    “And yet here I am, that fucker,” Tubbo grumbled, multiple garbage bags over his shoulders and pushing the back storage room door open with an elbow.

    Summary

    Wilbur probably should head back into the parlor before he embarrassed himself, he thought, visibly cringing. He'd try to meet the owner another time. If he met them now, in his pre-shift clothes, uncaffeinated, and not a conversation starter in sight, he'd probably get an award for worst introduction in history.

    Two days later when the tattoo parlor opened, there was a bouquet of various flowers on his doorstep, a small greeting card beneath it. It caught him off guard in the best way, lifting them delicately and holding the flowers to his chest with one hand, pushing a few curls from his face with the other. He opened up the card with new energy, feeling the sunshine of the surprisingly clear day sink into his skin more than before, breathing in crisp lovely air that hadn’t been this sweet minutes before.

    "From your new neighbors - Rose Roots."

    He couldn't wait to meet them.

    Summary

    She didn't want to be here, but she couldn't leave yet, not until her patron thought the publicity was enough and called her a portal. He was here somewhere. Being surrounded by rich naivety to the outside world was starting to get on her nerves, though, and her itch to punch something was only growing. Someone within ten feet made a passing ignorant comment on the slums, and someone else let out a high-pitched laugh that made her flinch, retorting back something just as unsavory. Civility. She just had to get through tonight. She closed her eyes in a long blink, sighing deeply from her nose. Civility.

    Ray put down her flute, knowing if she held it any longer it might shatter in her sharp-nailed fingers.

    "I don't believe my eyes, is that you Ray?" A voice shook her from her momentary meditation and something close to an electric shock shot through her entire body. She knew that voice. She heard that voice five months ago.

    There was no fucking way.

    Summary

    Using all his might he watched as the axe sailed through the air, sunlight reflecting off it in a way that made the blade glow gold. The sail was beautiful, the sound of it cutting through the air. It would hit the target, he knew it would.

    It did not hit the target. It had landed firmly in the snowy soil in front of it. Less than a foot away.

    “Are you fuckin’ jokin’?”

    The young Viking looked to the only other man in the arena and caught a raised eyebrow and amused smirk peeking around his thick beard. If he could understand dragons he would’ve known the dragon was smirking too. Pair of bastards they were.

    Summary

    Being dead was the most freeing thing Ghostboo had ever experienced. He wasn't weighed down by the need to hide who he hung out with, to switch between houses, to worry about the enderwalk, or the Syndicate, or what side he was on or what experiment he'd put himself through next - he got to relax for the first time in, well, he would say life but that didn't quite apply anymore. That was until he went to Snowchester, until he went to Tubbo.

    Or rather Ghostboo goes home hating who he was alive and finds out he was loved.

    Summary

    Losing a life was unlike anything Ranboo had ever experienced.

    He woke up in Snowchester. Not in the prison, not on the ground in front of Sam, not anywhere but here.

    He realized he was hyperventilating.

    He’d died. Died, not just made a clumsy mistake, not accidentally staying underwater a bit too long, not hit by a stray skeleton arrow - he had died. Murdered. Without hesitation.

    ~
    Essentially I came up with this mid lore, not understanding Ranboo had, in fact, lost all his lives. And I liked the idea too much, so two thousand words later here we are

    Summary

    In his defense he had just lost a… well, let’s say a "pretty penny" or two in a bet he was sure he’d win. He’d even rigged the bet! He'd rigged it and still hadn't won! It was ridiculous! And now here he was knowing it would be his turn to buy lunch for Alec without that very “pretty penny.” They’d order their food and then when he’d usually bring out his coin purse he’d have nothing to offer while the monk across from him laughed at the lint that fell from the small bag. The monk who was somehow loaded too. This was stupid.

    Summary

    He was a swirling galaxy who shone for any attention-giving astronomer with the songs he crafted out of stardust. He also became a star in this time, a well-renowned name not from the Empire once ruled under the last name he held but instead by the way he could make even the angriest Vikings sway, the way he connected constellations of lyrics and gave them meanings all on their own. Wilbur got the name of a siren but the reputation of a comet: a show that came and went, one to wish upon but never to keep.

    He was nineteen and the world had never seemed so bright.

     ---

    When Sally first saw him, she thought he was the most annoying man she'd ever met. Extraordinarily tall for no reason, flirting with everyone who gave him a second, smiling in the face of angry Vikings as if he wasn't seconds away from getting a black eye (one time he had, in his first few days in their village still managing to hold his head high and laugh at the stares). He seemed arrogant, unprofessional, cocky - all Sally could do was roll her eyes.

    And every time he noticed her, he looked at her like she was the sun.

    Summary

    Victoria hadn’t thought about the scars and tattoos on her back in a long time. Hundreds of years had passed where they hadn’t hurt, where she hadn’t seen her pale pale skin in the light or reflection of glass mirrors or lakes. She once knew where every line came from, where each needle of ink pierced her skin - she’d remembered how, when, why even, and yet if you asked the elf what the constellation map of her back looked like now she’d simply shrug. It wasn’t as if anyone would see her back bare besides her Artemis anyways, and even then she never said a word, probably never even comprehended it enough to ask. It was unimportant. They were stories she didn’t care about, didn’t want to care about.

    (And yet somewhere in the back of her mind a small voice whispered that she still did.)
