They half-run, half-glide toward the sunken city; the currents carry them forward, and if not for the sense of urgency Jon is getting from Martin, it would be the most free he's ever felt.
Fish swim around them, the wings of manta rays brushing against them as they race against each other. Jon vaguely recalls that those aren't supposed to live in the relatively cold waters of the British seaside; but then again, there's no recording of a large town there either. It's a strange world he found himself thrown into, one with impossible sea life and mysterious boys leading him through a deserted town.
"Where are the people?" Jon asks.
Martin doesn't slow down. "My father doesn't like us talking to each other. He says silence is the only language that should be spoken in the depths."
"He sounds like a fun person," Jon grumbles, and Martin lets out a humourless laugh.
"You have no idea. Here," he says, pulling Jon between two buildings and to a stop. "It should be safe now."
"Safe from what?" Jon demands. He's never liked being kept in the dark, and the nebulousness of his situation is starting to get to him.
"The guards," Martin explains, sneaking a weary glance into the street they just left. "They'll be looking for me; my father knows I'll try to escape that marriage."
"Marriage?" Jon is getting tired of asking questions. "Martin, you're not making any sense."
Martin turns back to look at him, and his shoulders drop. "Sorry. I'm just - it's complicated. Or very simple, depending on how you see it. See - my father has promised my hand to the Lord of Many Eyes in order to join our two domains. But I know what happens to the people who leave for the bottom levels: they don't come back, and the rare ones that do are… changed. I don't want - I'm scared, Jon."
His voice breaks, and his eyes get glassy, as if he is about to cry. But no tear is shed; he takes in a shaky breath that makes his gills flutter, and sets his jaw.
"This is why I'm going to run as far away as I can - to the surface."
Jon eyes the other boy's more fishlike qualities. "I don't want to ruin your hopes, but can you even survive up there?"
Martin nods. "I have this cloak that used to belong to my mother. She was human, see. But when she fell in love with my father, she sought out an artifact that would allow her to join him, and she found that cloak. I'm convinced it could work the other way around."
"Okay," Jon says, because he is far past doubting fairytale logic at this point. "Where is it?"
Martin looks discouraged. "In my bedroom." He points at a tower rising high above the other edifices. "On top of the highest tower of the castle."
"Of course it is." Jon swears softly. "And I imagine it's guarded?"
"It will be now. I don't think my father knows I found the cloak - it was a secret my mother told me about before she left - but his people will be looking for me. Going back won't be easy. Leaving again will be even harder."
"Right. On the other hand, he might not expect you to come back," Jon says pensively. "We should get going now, no sense in waiting much longer."
A silence answers him. He looks at Martin to find the fae staring at him, his eyes wide as saucers.
"... What?"
"Nothing," Martin answers quickly. "I just wasn't expecting you to, uh, help. After all, you have your own problem to deal with."
Jon shrugs. "I feel like both our issues might have a common solution. We're going for the surface - together. Alright?"
Martin still looks surprised, but he acquiesces. Jon nods, and barely thinks twice before taking his hand again.

For hours Kíli sat in his bedroom – sulking, his mum teased, which made his sourness worse – contemplating what it would mean for them. Their relationship was easy while they were together, close not just in proximity but in spirit. With Fíli going, what would happen? Kíli didn’t want the fire to fizzle out but it would, wouldn’t it? Because people were easily distracted and forgot when things weren’t right in front of them and Fíli was the worst when it came to remembering.
coucou cocopuffs!
i can’t believe we’re here. that we’ve made it this far. that i’ve made it this far. since starting my journey into the chaotic world of fanfiction, i’ve never (n e v e r) written beyond 4 chapters. ever. even during my most teenage-obsession-fueled binges.
so, to celebrate the 20th chapter - can you believe it!? - of Dash Away, i thought i’d indulge myself and you, my beautiful readers, with something a little naughty and a lot fun: side story p*rn.
thank you so much for carrying me through this challenge with your support and feedback! it means the world to me - you’ll never know how much! enjoy the lads engaging in amorous congress, my pretties 😎
Guuuuuys, I got BNHA stuck in my head and wanna catch up with the anime and manga.
But I am also very inspired in painting these characters. My problem? I like to paint artistic nudes, and like, they are definitely not sexualised, but most of the characters are underage... Soo... If I draw my paintings with these characters as an inspiration would it be inappropriate?
Like I do NOT want to cross any weird borders, but I am uncertain if my concerns are okay or just hypersensitivity, since Tumblr is bashing on almost everything
One year ago, my friend had sex with a really douchey guy and then found out he was cheating on his girlfriend with her. She hated him for a while and now suddenly she likes him again, and they might be in a relationship soon enough. Currently, she's 15 and he's 20. I highly disapprove of their relationship due to how much of a fuckboy this guy is, and she won't listen to me. Should I report him for statutory rape?
I’m probably not the right person to ask about this, but okay.
I do think it’s worth reporting, but not for the reasons you seem to have. You shouldn’t report him solely because he’s a douche–you should report him because you have an issue with adults going after kids.
A five-year age gap at that age (15, I mean) is pretty fucking iffy in general, and I’d definitely be suspicious at the very least of a 20-year-old who actively pursues a sexual/romantic relationship with someone your friend’s age. No argument there. But I don’t think him cheating on his girlfriend should factor into your decision in this context. It’s absolutely a dickish and awful thing to do, and is definitely a good reason to discourage your friend from dating him…but it’s not illegal. If this guy were a fair bit younger or your friend a fair bit older, I would actually advise against doing anything that drastic.

Ciel fighting with Sebastian so he could be the one helping their daughter with her studies and not the older male, then always managing to drag Sebastian back in; "Hey daddy, so, what should I do here?" "Calculate the angular acceleration of the rod and deduce the nature of motion." Shit... Physics. The young husband was never a fan of physics.... "Ha.. Haha..." Ciel laughed nervously, "W-welllll... You basically, well... you actually... you do this... No wait, uhm... I think there's a rule..." He trailed off, "R-right Sebastian?" No answer. "Sebastian?" "Not helping!" Sebastian yelled from his place. "W-what?! Why nooooot?" Ciel whined. "You said you wanted to help Eva, so you have to help her." "I'll do it." "Do what?" "I'll ride on.... Well.... Y-you know!" "So..... You actually agreed? You'll ride my di-" "YES! NOW SHUT UP AND COME HELP HER!" "DEAL!"
