Come along to meet the big red Wolf, our one and only Spirit Albarn. A handsome fella with golden fingers. He knows how to snatch your wallet like he snatches heartsāand all that without a tie, cause he ain't leashed.
Next up is his best bud Mister Snake-err his name is Franky Stein, but everyone calls him a snake, because wellā¦ he is a snake. A Burmese python to be exact, mister morph made of several molts. There's no safecracker better than Franky, and he does all that without any modern equipment.
Yeah, this is the part where I, Shark, show up and steal the show. The nameās Tezca Tlipoca, master of disguises. I'm so good, even I don't know if I use magic. Oh, and I'm presumably a bear. I've once been asked if I wasn't a human in a bear suit. The answer to that is āØāØāØ
Now meet Azusa, codename Webs. Hacker extraordinaire, and knows her way around the web like no other.
Finally there's Soul, our little rookie. Codename piranha. A bit of a minime and a mini every one of us, because he's simultaneously the most insane and most normal young man a piranha could be.
That's right, we're the Deathscythes.
And we're bonafide Bad Guys.
______
That's right, we've got ourselves a bad guys au! Brought to us by the Nefarious @blackbloodteeth who came up with this idea, and yours truly, who was like 'okay, but what if Tezca just constantly breaks the 4th wall? ', and here is the result.
Feast your eyes on teeth's art HEEEEEEEREEEE
Feel your mind melt with the story HEEEEEEREEEEE
Thank you @reverbmod for organising reverb this year <3
Actually had the idea for a The Bad Guys AU last year after finally seeing the movie, so I had a ton of fun coming up with the designs for the Death Scythes gang once Reverb rolled around haha (shame I didn't have the energy for much else, but I'm still pretty dang happy with how this whole thing came together)!
Thanks again to my partner @alcruid for working hard on writing a wacky story to this whole shebang! Somehow I managed to not make Soul the main character!

Thank you so much @reverbmod for hosting this wonderful event! I had such a wonderful time working with @chichirichick and watching Shattered Souls come together!
Read it here! AO3 (for real, please read, it is amazing)
(small summary for the fic for ya as well)
"There are too many reflections. From one world to the next, the weapons and their meisters and falling and failing. With each crack, thereās a chance one of them could die. Will they come together and find a way to seal these worlds, or will some of them fail to come back from the other side?"
Warnings: character death, gore and violence
I had such a fun time working on this and may have gone a bit overboard, but I think it was worth it!
Thanks to @reverbmod, I had the honor of working with @not-so-scandalous on the beautiful reverb:
Shattered Souls
Featuring: Our three main meisters with a healthy serving of SoMa
Fic summary: There are too many reflections. From one world to the next, the weapons and their meisters and falling and failing. With each crack, thereās a chance one of them could die. Will they come together and find a way to seal these worlds, or will some of them fail to come back from the other side?
Warnings (if any): character death, gore and violence
Enjoy it on AO3!
Special thanks, as always, to my dearest @silluuuu who is kind enough to scream about my work.
Very happy to give y'all my first DeathStar piece with this Reverb!
I'm immensely grateful to @drowsystarlight for being an awesome partner for this project; their prompt immediately took me in and their art for it is STUNNING and ACHINGLY BEAUTIFUL (pls go check it out HERE)!
You can find the fic summary below and the fic itself HERE (on ao3).
SUMMARY: Fate and love. Prophecy and war. Awful and undeniable things. Kid knows them all. Though a ghost, he once held every shining piece of the brightest star in his hands. Herein, he reminisces:
āNo longer can the blazing bronze sun sear my upward gazing eyes. No longer can my palm brush against old scars as fingers weave through my hair. No longer can my breath catch in anguish for he who kissed my cold lips, for he who cradled my stiff, ashen body, beckoning me to return to the dead thingāselfishly, desperately.
No longer.
Still, even without a mind, I remember.
And I will tell it again. I will tell what I can of this ill-fated life.ā
(The Song of Achilles, Iliad inspired AU)
EXTRA THANKS: I'd also like to give a big shout out to @silluuuu for beta-ing like a boss and supporting me throughout. And many thanks to @reverbmod for organizing this event!!
Art by Neeks (me), story by @toweroftunes ! (Click here for the ficās Ao3 link!)
Happy reverb posting day!! Hereās a The Song of Achilles au but with deathstar as Patroclus and Achilles. The main piece is based on the painting āAchilles and the Body of Patroclusā by Nikolai Ge (1855). Please enjoy doomed yaoi suffering šāāļøā£ļø AND READ TOWERāS FIC OHHHHH ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
Tagging @reverbmod , thank you for making this wonderful event happen!!ā£ļøā£ļøā£ļø
Soul gets drafted into the imperial space force where along side his crew he has to bring an end to the civil war that plagues their solar system.
Read it HEEEEEEEREE
Ecstasy of Dust
written by @indigolightning
āPush those engines, Patti!ā
āIām trying, Soul! This is all she has!ā
A sharp dive threw Maka into the open paneling she was actively repairing, nearly jamming her forehead into completing a circuit. The arcing electricity crackled around her and she pulled back quickly.
Damn Soul for getting them into this mess.
The crew of the Oni set out on a job: to rob the casino run by Arachnophobia, Silken Shores.
Read it HEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEE

So this year my idea for reverb was a firefly au! Or space pirates/cowboys! I have two lovely authors who wrote their own fics, and both of them are very different! Itās supercool to see how they took this concept and made it their own. I had a great time working with the both of them.
Also, thanks to @reverbmod for organising the event this year ā¤ļø

Im here to post my reverb story Haven! Its a fun space AU with Maka and Soul! I got to work with @alcruid and she made some amazing artwork for the story she came up with! I hope youll all check it out along side my story you can read here at my fanfiction net account https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14506349/1/Reverb-2025-Haven
Thanks to the @reverbmod for hosting the event and be sure to check out all the other work!
Hereās my Reverb for 2025!! Had an amazing artist again this year who came up with a really interesting of Maka being a solo weapon/Soul being abducted by Medusa when he was a child.
If you like Soul going through it, Makaās mommy issues, and putting canon in a giant blender for the fun of it, check it out!!
Iāll add a small excerpt/link to the artwork below, and thank you to the Reverb mods for setting the event up again this year :)
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your
If there was one noise Soul didnāt expect to hear in the drab room furbished as the nursesās office, it was of the incessant ribbit of a frog perched on the windowsill.
āFuckinā what!ā Soul practically growled as he rolled up the window and narrowed his eyes at Erukaās ādisguisedā form.
āI was just stopping by to tell Lady Medusa everything is going according to plan,ā Eruka croaked out, probing Soul to let out a sigh and run his fingers across his ivory mop of hair.
āAlright, Iāll let her know. Let yourself in next time and tell her. It might look like it, but Iām not her damn lap dog,ā Soul replied as he watched Erukaās lumpy figure turn around.
āYou wouldnāt catch me dead inside that school, frog disguise or not. And youād better hope Medusa wraps this thing up faster so Shinigami doesnāt start to sense your soul,ā the frog witch replied, probing Soul to narrow his eyes at the sight of her hopping away and left him to mull over her statement.
As if Iād ever let them kill me Soul mentally noted while shutting the small window and craning his head back in with a huff.
Medusa had been serving as Shibusenās nurse for months now. The dilemma had left him to adorn the disguise of Saul, a high school student who seemed to be interested in working as an aide for Shibusen in order to āhelp the causeā or whatever bullshit the witch had made up.
The young man wasnāt even sure why heād have to go through the trouble of infiltrating Shibusen along with Medusa, as his day was mostly filled with patching up a few cuts and bruises the students received during missions or snooping around the hallways in order to hear any information the teachers might be sharing amongst themselves.
However, he couldnāt be too nit-picky about the task, as it kept Medusa busy enough to where he could slink away and test out each of the new abilities he acquired with every step he took towards fulfilling his goal of becoming a full kishin.
This school isnāt gonna know what hit emā once Iāve unlocked my full potential Soul mentally noted, only to feel a small twinge blossom within his chest at the colorful array of people heād been tasked with administrating medical attention to.
Thereās Shinigamiās son. Dude is a lilā odd but still funny. I gotta admit, it was nice gettinā to talk about old jazz records with one of his demon pistols when sheād come in with a busted nose. Hmm, thereās was that blue-haired guy who comes in here all the time with a new injury. Thought he was just plain dumb, but heās actually fun to talk to. Pretty sure heās friends with that one guy with the lilā twin weapons-
āSaul, I need your help here,ā Medusa called over his musing, probing the boy to grumble and how sickly sweet her voice appeared to be when sheād be playing the part of the school nurse.
He quickly finished the small cup of tea Medusa forced him to drink everyday in order to start the process of creating a pseudo soul protect for his body before marching over towards the witch and their new patient.
Not too pleased to be taken away from your delusions eh, Evans? Although I am positively excited with getting back to that topic, especially since it only leads to one possible outcome~~ the demon giggled in the midst of Soul leveling a scowl at Medusa and the blonde haired girl sitting next to her on a small chair.
Soul had been able to recognize her as the current daughter of the Deathscythe stationed as Shinigamiās partner, as she seemed to be yet another regular within the infirmary.
His initial impression was that she was rather hard-headed and loud, but heād slowly begun to grow a faint interest in her once she attempted (and failed) to carry a conversation within him regarding his life and had even got a genuine chuckle out of him after jabbing Medusa in the face with her elbow when the witch had been attempting to pick a few stray shards of glass out of a cut on her upper arm.
It was also hard to ignore how Medusa seemed to be eyeing the young girlās soul with a morbid sense of glee heād only seen come out after sheād successfully played someone to do her bidding or ripped off the heads of her enemies in whatever method she deemed fit.
āOh, hi Saul!ā Maka hummed, probing Soulās lips to concede into a tight smile while he rummaged for a tube of ointment and attempted to hide from Medusaās inquisitive looks.
āHiā¦ā the boy simply responded before finding the medicine tube and dabbing a pea sized amount onto each of the bruises marring her skin, wondering if the girl in front of him could sense just how jittery his hands had become.
āHopefully you wonāt see me back here tomorrow,ā Maka added, earning her a faux grin from Medusa.
āOh did Saul not tell you sweetheart? He asked for time off around next week for a little trip he has plannedā¦ā the witch elaborated, although Soul was much too busy wondering if Makaās eyes would hold the same warmth in the eventual instance of him cornering her and brandishing his scythe.
He supposed it didnāt matter, as the thought of Medusa tugging on his leash and ordering him to kill for her own twisted needs was enough to set him off the edge before Saul even left for his family trip.
Hihi, first time participating in Reverb! Its been really cool to work on this and seeing everyone elseās things as well. I love Soul Eater so it makes me really happy to be a part of something like this :D
The concept for this was essentially āWhat if Maka discovered she was a weapon much earlier, and what if Soul was Medusaās experiment instead?ā Iāve had several variations of this idea for a while now so I wanted to try making something out of it.
Check out @memethebum ās post for the fic, despite both of us being busy they were wonderful to work with!
āMaka! We need to get out of here!ā- he screams, knowing well itās futile. Running towards the available furniture, he picks it up and rushes towards the glass, twisting his body to land a strike, but halting when he sees his other self fully leaning onto her, his face buried in the curve of her neck while she still holds him by the hair.Ā She wasnāt resisting.
Stunned by this, he shouts in disbelief, āWhat the hell?!ā
My art for Reverb 2025! All Your Fears. The scene in the anime where Maka met oni as Soul had always been my favorite so I wanted to make more use of the concept (lowkey I wish the canon manga utilize the idea)
The snippet above was written by my partner @kuhakkuart whose take on the premise truly exceeded my expectations, so please give it a read!
āDo you think weāre stupid?ā Lizās voice was harsh now, almost angry. āThe Evans family would never risk losing their prodigy son. Weāve been tracking you since you landed in JFK. We knew you were gonna be at that concert. Weāve got your number,Ā Wesley.ā
Soul blinked. Then blinked again. One more blink, then realization slapped him across the face so hard that it almost felt like an actual blow.
Okay, that explained it.
.
.
.
After a disastrous show, Soul runs off only to get held up at gunpoint by weapons in the smallest gang he's ever seen. Mistaking him for Wes, the two take him hostage for ransom. But what started out as a hostage situation slowly turns into an unexpected friendship that changes all of them for good. Written for Reverb 2025.
thank you to @reverbmod for letting me participate in the event this year! and the biggest shout out and thank you to @worldismyne for giving me the honor of writing a fic based off their piece for reverb, which everyone NEEDS to check out here!

Ta-da!
I come back to this cursed account to start posting again- and this is a quick little piece I made for #reverb2025! I can't thank the mods enough for their superb job at handling all submissions, let alone organizing such a wonderful event- so, thank you @reverbmod!!
Here's to another year!
---
This is a tiny summary I revamped after I submitted my entry:
"From the pages of an ancient, cursed book, beings of paper and ink spill into Death City. These creatures, known as Witches, twist imagination into chaos. Their most dangerous tale given flesh is Crona, a story so powerful it threatens to unravel Death City itself. Only Kid, heir to the first Shinigami, can seal the Witches back into their realm. To stand against them, he grants his elite team, SPARTOI, a new power: the ability to summon weapons born from booksāliving stories forged for battle."
