the thing about dragons

words:75043 Chapter:8
reincarnation fix-it dragons daemon-centric magic gods Fantasy
Every morning Daelyra Targaryen wakes up and chooses violence. (Figuratively, at least.) It might be because she’s Daemon Targaryen’s daughter. It might be because her soul is from another world. It might be because her dragon blood runs hotter than most, and that means more than she knew it could. It might be because the dragon that chose her is the most vicious of them all. It might be because she's a woman on a mission. So many might-be’s, but one thing is certain: she wasn’t meant to exist and the sole fact that she does was enough to knock the world ever so slightly off its axis. Why not change it further? Or: Targaryens really aren’t human and expecting them to conform to human standards rarely ends well. And sometimes an unhinged woman with an unhinged dragon is all the world needs to prevent a disaster long in the making.

It hurt—it had, before. Now it’s only cold, the warmth pooling underneath her yet so far out of reach. She tries to move, but her body won’t obey. She tries to breathe, a wheezing kind of futility. She’s drowning, she thinks. In her own blood. There’s a knife sticking out of her chest, or was when

It was just a regular black dog hunt, or so Sam and Dean thought, yet somehow they ended up tracking a unicorn through the woods, and then Dean may or may not have spotted a jackalope. After that things really took a turn for the weird! "A unicorn? A freaking unicorn, Sam?" Dean repeats for the fourth time in fewer minutes. He looks down at the arsenal of weapons in Baby's trunk, twitchy fingered and wild eyed. "How the hell are we supposed to kill a goddamn unicorn?" We're not gonna kill it," Sam snaps, elbowing Dean sharply in the ribs when he picks up a flame thrower.

It's a Plan(et)
Midoriya Izuku used to laugh when asked that thought-provoking icebreaker question in middle school: Would you rather be stranded on an island alone or with your worst enemy? Kacchan would demolish a deserted island, make it his bitch; it would be a paradise by the end of the week, Izuku knew. Of course, he’d want Kacchan there, even if it meant Kacchan taking out his misplaced anger at being stranded in the first place out on him. He’d reap the benefits in the end, he knew. And with no one around to be an audience, to interfere, their friendship might even rekindle. Oh, if only Kacchan was really his “worst enemy.” That was silly middle school thinking, Izuku now knew, as a third year student at UA. What’s worse than being abducted by aliens? For Izuku, it was being abducted by aliens with his long time nemesis, Shigaraki Tomura. When Izuku is lucky contestant number one to be chosen to be experimented on, he makes it his mission to make sure that Shigaraki does not meet the same fate. It’s not super surprising when Shigaraki isn’t grateful, but hey, it’s a plan, and Izuku’s sticking to it, determined to be heroic whether Shigaraki wants him to or not, whether Shigaraki trusts him to be or not.

“There are only ten of you. Well. Nine.” Felix’s boot kicks lightly against the corpse’s side, blood spilling from its ripped open chest and staining the floor. He tilts his head slightly, before he drops the man’s heart, which hits the floor with a sickening squish. He flashes the attackers a grin, teeth on display, scales shimmering across his skin, radiant as the sun. These people hurt his family. There is no mercy, here. “You’d have needed more than that.” aka. an escaped dragon, a tired team dad, and an evil organization walk into a bar. there’s not really a joke if nobody’s laughing.

“It is all very logical, Clarke,” Lexa continues, undeterred by the blonde’s obvious scepticism. “We are not friends and we are not attracted to each other, which means there are no dangerous feelings, and we cannot ruin a friendship that does not exist. Not to mention, we have no chemistry at all, so the risk of catching such feelings is minimal.” When they decide to be fuck buddies, Clarke and Lexa are sure their arrangement has everything to be perfect. Little do they know that they will fall in love along the way.

You found the edibles, didn’t you?” Charlie sags, losing her composure as quick as a balloon losing air. “…yes. Well, no. Kinda.” “…kinda?!” Angel and Cherri ask in unison. “I didn’t find your edibles. Um…Husk and Niffty did. And we sorrrta have a problem.” When Husk ends up accidentally high, Angel Dust and Cherri are tasked with keeping an eye on him. Angel figures whatever, it’s what friends do, right?
