ough. there are so many good ones but I must restrain myself...
🐾 LEFT ME IN THE DOG POUND (Apo, Pyro, and Avid in a time loop) - I assume Pyro and Avid have semi-public to extremely public breakdowns and Apo says exactly nothing but assumes everyone lumps her in with them anyway because the same thing happened
🏆 pyrrhic (the Apo & Owen timeloop au) - oh my fucking God. how many loops does it take before killing each other stops being the #1 solution.
🩸reclaim, reconcile, revive (Scott gets a taste of his own medicine, courtesy of Apo and Pyro) - KILL THE BITCH
ooohh all good choices, all good choices!
sorry it took me so long to answer all this lol
🐾 LEFT ME IN THE DOG POUND
Avid knew fear.
He knew it like he knew the brackish red stain of his own blood and the exhaustion tugging at his bones and the ugly salmon scars littered in places he could pretend vampirism had fixed.
That old introduction had been the first of them, and fear had kept his throat in its jaws ever since.
🏆 pyrrhic
Owen dies screaming.
It's fitting that he should, that his end comes loud and violent, that his voice shatters the damp dawn air.
It is the soldier who finally brings him down, a blur of fangs and claws and messy, inevitable violence.
The death of a monster, it seems, is no pretty affair.
Owen hopes the budding orange morning frames the last snarl on his mouth. A picture that will burn itself into the soldier's brain, like how the scent of smoke never quite left his nose.
🩸reclaim, reconcile, revive
When the two of them tumble back into town, clawed hands clasped too tightly, ears ringing like they're underwater, Martyn's eyes go very, very wide.
"What-" He starts, something like fear glittering in his gaze, "the fuck?"
"It's not what it looks like!" Pyro sputters, manic joy falling from his features, and for a second Apo feels like someone's knocked her over.
That—
It's just—
She expected the…maliciousness, bravado, rampant assholery, whatever you wanted to call it, to steal the words from Pyro's mouth.
"It's exactly what it looks like." She says, strangely breathless
Pyro sounds a little like he used to.
