John needed a drink. Truth was, there weren’t enough drinks in Manhattan but a journey of a million beers had to start with a single glass and The Enigma was as good a place as any. The bar was crowded, as usual, and he considered again just buying a bottle and taking it back to his apartment, befo

I’m here, just breathe.” (Dan comes down with the stomach flu in the middle of the night. Phil cares for him.)

This is the first part of the series. We all know that the game has lots of mystical & alien parts to it, in this story we see what happens if the Enclave knew more about them & how it would change the story.

Kakashi never believed in mates, how his father explained to him before he killed himself. He never believed a word that man had said. Until he saw her. Untill he met her. The cute little girl reading a book that was far beyond his understanding. He belonged to her. He'll protect her when she wasn't able to protect herself. She was his home. Not Konoha. This village could burn to the ground for all he cared. Because of the actions of the Third, he'd might start that fire, and laugh like a lunatic while doing so. But instead, he left. ~🤍~ This is an alternative take on 'Mine' that more or less answers the question: what if Kakashi was a little bit more unhinged, and accepted his mate from the get-go? You don't have to read 'Mine' to read this, but I will be posting this far more sporadic than 'Mine.' If 'Mine' was once a week, this is once a month. Also, this WILL spoil 'Mine,' so read at your own risk.

Gonna Bite Your Feelings Out
“She seems nice,” Jonny says after a moment of awkward silence passes between them. “She is nice,” Patrick agrees. With no glass to hold in his hands, he fidgets awkwardly, fingertips rubbing his chapped lips. “You look good, Jonny.” “Thank you,” Jonny says tightly, like it’s not killing him. Like watching Patrick’s big fingers skirt over his lips and jaw and chin isn’t killing him. “You know, I have some pictures of you naked in my old apartment if you think that would refresh your memory.” Patrick’s hands still. “You still jerk off to those?” he asks, voice all chilly indifference that used to make Jonny want to punch him in his goddamn face.

Talon is not simply a title or something the Court can create- for as long as history has been recorded, every lifetime, a Talon is reincarnated with incredible powers, unlocked on their fourteenth birthday. For years, they've been instruments of the Court, always born to members and trained as their right hand. But this time, the Talon slipped their grip. Dick Grayson was adopted by Bruce Wayne at eight years old, and becomes Robin a year later. At thirteen, he's fallen into the routine of being a superhero, and though he knows his life isn't normal, he's more or less happy. His fourteenth birthday changes everything. Now that he's fifteen and on his own with the Teen Titans, he's even less safe than before. The Court of Owls aren't the only one with plans for him....
