CONTENT WARNINGS
I do not tag triggers in threads, only in visual media. If your triggers are not indicated on your blog, I will probably end up asking. If you follow this blog, I assume you are comfortable with potentially being exposed to, but not necessarily writing, the following:
a scientific institute that tortures and experiments on human beings, primarily children. Child abuse will be addressed but hopefully with a careful hand.
domestic abuse - explicit abuse will not always be tagged, but it will be under a read more.
cultism
spree/serial murder
arson/fire/pyromania
drug use/drug trafficking/addictive disorders
age gap relationships
sex work in the form of stripping and camming
RULES
Mutuals only. Godmodding should only be of the plotted variety (so not even godmodding). I don’t even know what the other basics are. Just be cool. Don’t be all, like, uncool.
I love shipping - chemistry-based, experimental, pre-established, anything goes. Explicit smut gets tagged as #usfw and is not always under a read more. Respect sexualities and gender identities. Burns is asexual. Romantic/sexual/inappropriate content with minors will not be tolerated. Various characters are polyamorous or in open relationships.
Length-wise, I prefer one-liners or short multi-para prose threads. I generally match length. I’m always down to plot — shoot me a message or some memes whenever. I post starter calls frequently as well. Always feel free to send memes!

@vitalphenomena as fernanda said: i don’t know how many times i’ve started this puzzle, then i lose interest and put it away.
marvin & tige.
his eyes are sharp and implacably ageless on fernanda's face when he looks her over. his jaw winches a notch tighter when he doesn't entirely like or trust what he sees in it.
mutt wishes cain would come back. he never thought he'd think that.
WELL, FERNANDA'S NOT THINKING IT. She could be closer with Cain. Should be, arguably. But with Mutt's presence comes Cain assuming a familiarity and a camaraderie that Fernanda's decided doesn't apply to her and Cain. He was rude for making the imposition (the imposition being Mutt himself).
"Fifteen hundred. I've never counted to fifteen hundred on my own. I get bored. Distracted. Do you think you have ADD?"
Okay, that stings a little - Billie's big enough to admit it, even though she knows she'd never do anything. She's not done anything before now, has she? But obviously, Lila still needs a little bit. And that's fine. That's so fine.
"Sure. My place."
She stands from the seat that she's taken, gesturing for Lila to fall into step with her. Billie had driven them here, and so Billie will drive them back - as long as Lila's not weird about being in an enclosed space with her now.
It's getting well into the night now anyway. Better for them to go back to Billie's place now, than for Billie to try and make excuses to get home before the sun rises.
Well, she doesn't have to do that now, does she?
She starts the car and the bubblegum pop they were listening to before blares out of the speakers. It's so normal it makes her laugh.
WHETHER BILLIE HAD BEEN TRUTHFUL ABOUT HER VAMPIRIC IDENTITY FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS FRIENDSHIP IS IRRELEVANT TO LILA DECIDING THAT BILLIE CAN'T EVER SEE LILA'S FAMILY'S HOME IN POUGHKEEPSIE. The thing is—nobody deserves that. The thing is—Lila is ashamed.
The car's speakers rattle the entire vehicle and make Lila feel like her body's humming. She sees Billie jostle from the force of her own laughter, and she turns just in time to read Billie's lips.
Her eyebrows crinkle.
<<Why? I don't want you to be sorry anymore. You don't need to say that.>>

It's not Rex's job to care about the state of the floor in a community institution, it's the custodians! Who are, frankly, the real heroes! Rex is just some guy in a costume who showed up after the fact and got yelled at!
"That's the point of me," says Rex, spreading his arms, momentarily the entire orange forecast of the city. Wiggles his stupid eyebrows. He does not remember what he's supposed to have done. He is having a great time.
"Okay, I'm gonna need you to like, significantly lower the temperature here—" a beat, "—no offense," and then he's already moving, "—because apparently there's a guy with a tail on the loose and that is, genuinely, more interesting than this."
As much as Burns believes in heroes, anyway. That's an idealistic optimism that implies too many held beliefs Burns is incapable of getting behind. Like, people deserve to be saved. Like, people deserve to be celebrated. People with superpowers are better than other people—oh. Okay. He does like that one. It'd be so crazy if he didn't, right? Like he hated himself for something he can't control.
Burns scowls. He hates this guy. His eyebrows especially. The eyebrows are so infuriating that Rex's awesome powers, whatever they may be, do not endear Burns one bit.
Burns drops his arms. He's not being given attention anymore, which means he doesn't need to perform. It also means he feels—empty. Almost sad. Almost.
"WAIT!"
Burns stumbles forward, collects himself, and speed-walks in an upright manner until he's in line with Rex.
"Are you gonna look for him? Are you gonna catch him? Arrest him? What are you gonna do with him? Can you arrest people? Seriously, SERIOUSLY? 'Cause legally, you gawta tell me."
lila's passionate reaction causes june to blink and lean back a little. it does not occur to her to reflect on why her friend might be so eager to know what home is like. june, for all her righteous angst, has never known anything but her family and their homey homes.
"wha—i mean, why does anyone like home? same as everyone else, i guess."
it was called the emergency room for two reasons: everything had to happen very quickly; and, when it didn’t and somebody died, the soul emerged from its shell. once free, it stayed upstairs—even when the body was brought to the morgue.
but samira looked haunted. she looked possessed. so maybe one had followed her down after all.
' it’s just ghosts. ' one of the panel lights flickered off. klaus shrugged, spinning another idle circle in his chair. ' gloria can’t do anything about them. i asked. apparently ghost busters aren’t in the budget? '
the light came back on with a keening hum. the shadows under samira’s eyes grew darker—a phenomenon that could not be replicated in klaus, who was wearing sunglasses.
SAMIRA'S MOTHER IS A PRACTICING HINDU. To this day, to this hour, to this second. Years ago, Samira wondered if there was any faith or explanation of life-after-death that could possibly bring her peace—and, yes, she tells herself she's found this peace on her own, that she is no longer the angry teenage girl who watched her father die with only a failing national healthcare system to blame.
She's too tired to be angry. She can't even be angry with Bugs Bunny in fully human form wearing sunglasses.
"So I guess you're feeling the lack of resources as much as the rest of us."
Is she trying to be funny? Basement morticians: they're just like us!
In the scale of violence Hara's familiar with ... between a brother biological dating a fraternity brother, Margot's act surpasses it all. The act itself, the aftermath, and even whatever chain of events that predated Nate's murder. Because Margot had to have thought about it, right? Who on-the-spot thinks of framing something like that as a suicide.
She didn't love him, yet ... she never got the chance (if she did, Hara couldn't be friends with Margot again ... and this would have ended with one of them in jail or in a shared-grave).
❛ You did it so easily, Margot ... and I don't understand how you could. It didn't seem to affect you after either. ❜
She's having difficulty asking what she really needs to.
TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN WHAT MARGOT DOES (as in, to avoid being turned in by witnesses (which should be scant) or tracked by any sort of law enforcement), PRE-MEDITATION AND CALCULATION ARE IMPERATIVE. Fortunately, she's been thinking ahead for almost her entire life in order to compete. Hindsight is 20-20 is a concept that will never come to be used against her or drag her into despair.
Margot knew she needed to kill Nate. Hara being present wasn't her first plan, surely, but it is how things happened to ensure Hara's safety.
"I was affected, Hara."
But perhaps not in the ways Hara would anticipate or even require of a friend. The limitations on Margot's compassion seem to be jarring.
Margot felt good. Margot felt a manic rush. Then, the satisfaction—as if a lingering itch had finally been scratched. She knew then that the itch would return again, but for a time, she'd handled things.
"Something needed to happen. Something that I couldn't ever ask you to imagine doing or helping me do."
If it looked easy, though—that's because it was.
"I'm who I always was to you," she offers, gentle—seeming to curl further into herself.

Remi gives her a nasty little smile. There's an element of vindication, as if he's been waiting for Isla to snap the whole time. He's tired of her self-righteous, cool girl act—the one that makes him feel like a failure every time he talks to her. She's his little sister. Not the other way round.
He'll feel better about losing his shit if she loses hers too.
"Tell me how you really feel, why don't you? Go on, admit it. You do think you're better than me."
REMI, DESPITE HIS GAMBLING ADDICTION (or, in fact, because of it) DOESN'T GET TO WIN OFTEN. She thinks about this as she tries to look down on him—which is becoming increasingly difficult the angrier and pettier this conversation makes her.
Anyway, maybe it'd be nice to give Remi his one win for the week. You got me, big guy! I'm as miserable and immature as you are.
It's hard to know that and immediately say what he wants her to say. So, instead:
"Is this doing anything for you? Did you have money on pissing me off today?"
A grin splits Hughie's face. It's good to hear her laugh, to have that visceral acknowledgement that this is right and good and wanted. He doesn't think he's ever seen her like this before- obviously not below him, straddled beneath his weight- but so eager. Vulnerable.
It's frightening and exhilarating. He doesn't want to fuck this up, for both their sakes. They both deserve a good time. She returns his affections, eager and messy, which is only endearing her all the more to him.
He moves in closer until his lips brush against her ear. "Say 'red' if you want me to stop? Okay?"
IT'S SO CUTE—AND SEXY!—HOW HAPPY HE IS RIGHT NOW. She wants to make him happy. He deserves to be happy. And he's so often being berated or denigrated or taught how cruel life can be.
This is a break from all of that. This is his chance to feel powerful and sexy and strong. And! Spirit can get off, too.
She shivers, more excited anticipation than any real chill. She nods—realizes she can't nod, then goes, "Mm-hm. Mm-hm." With the air she still has.
"Don't stop." She has her nails scraping against his stomach again.

aria to vincent @despiterage — "You have a boner right now. You have a boner right now, and we just killed a bunch of people, and your back is literally against the wall. There is something so wrong with you. And you think you're great? Be serious. We have a job to do. You're gonna follow through, and you're gonna do it my way."
SF to AL @petitsdieu — "I do not want to hurt you. I will hurt you, I–What do you want this to be?"
beck to funke @nightrot — "My love is not a little thing. It is a big thing. A big thing still called love."
beck to homelander @rejectory — "I AM—I am good. I am ready. Terrorists, traffickers, people blowing themselves up. I am ready. Have you seen what I can do, even."
beck to houston @jupiterfree — "I am doing this for them, for all of them! And for you! For you! Because it is right, and because I can!"
burns to rex @deficd —"I DID NAWTI DID NAWT I DID NAWT! I'm not a snitch and I'm not a fuckin' spy or a fuckin' lurker or WHATEVAH! I don't know where he went or why he's got a tail and that's the end of it!"
cain to charles @id1eyouth — "What do you want from me, Charles? Do you want to visit my office hours? Do you want to get lunch somewhere with delicious sandwiches? We do not need to be friends."
cullen to ben @kylo-wrecked — "Let us not forget who put whose hands on whom first. I mean. It almost sounds like you're victim blaming right now. Are you? Victim blaming?"
dafne to chris @rassvetiye — "I don't even—I'm not cynical, you know? I'm not. I like people. Oh my god, do I have to be a feminist because of this? I have to?"
dafne to harrison @id1eyouth — "Do you even understand who you're threatening, right now?"
dafne to zachary @id1eyouth — "Hiii! Sorry. Not who you were expecting. I'm the girl coming to cut your hair. Your regular barber had a scheduling conflict, but I come highly recommended. You can give him a call, if you want. I know this is to-ta-lly freaky."
dick to harold @gordiacea — "You'll have to forgive us for the, well, I'll admit it, secretive manner in which we conduct ourselves at our little facility. Protecting my colleagues' innovations and discoveries is of the utmost importance! I do appreciate you signing that document, as it's a necessary sort of formality, but it's rather preliminary—and gives us quite the air of mystery, don't you think? Everyone who steps foot on Site A has to sign it, though. The premises liability clause is just as imperative as the non-disclosure clauses—you wouldn't believe the insurance premiums I'm shelling out on a regular basis! Besides, now we can really get down to brass tacks. I'm sure [Big University] pays the bills just fine, and it's a noble institution, but let me be frank, Doctor: we'd love to collaborate with you. Permanently."
dick to johns @eviji — "Being so dismissive will hardly service you, my good man. You're playing a dangerous game, and I'm not sure you understand the basic rules. You see, my opinion matters, and it matters far more than yours. Hypotheses matter just as much as the data our experiments yield. Do you understand me, Johns?"
dmitri to josephine @ruinaa — ""I see people in a way others can't, with a degree of detail that is maddening. It is what makes me unique. It is, I think, what allows me to recreate them so well. I can also see their potential. I see your potential. I see you conflicted, battling something. Restrained by this life you've stuck yourself in. It hurts, Josephine, to see such a waste."
elijah knight to elijah mercer @midcenturies — "Well, to start, it'd be real nice if we could put an end to these hostilities. After that, I do believe we've got more in common than you think. Do you not believe Jesus Christ died for our sins?"
lila to charles @id1eyouth —
slime
texture
its good
margot to hara @petitsdieu — "You are here, though. You're—shocked? In shock? Right now, but you won't always be. My first time, it was terrifying. It was self defense, but it was terrifying. But I learned. I adapted. I overcame."
max to johns @eviji — "Who is letting you listen to that British bullshit? Answer me in a plain sentence. Remember how you speak to me."
pyotr to dallas @jupiterfree — "I think if you actually give up on yourself, and on that girl, you will live the saddest, sorriest life that a man has ever lived. And when you die, you will go to hell forever. To be tortured."
stella to lorenza @holyrots — "You deserved good things as soon as you were born."
spirit to becky @scarestress — "I don't need to be better than you. I just need to be there. Does it feel good, or something? Finding ways to make yourself miserable? You look so ugly when you get so worked up."
spirit to delta @graveflwers —"When we die, we don't get heaven or hell. We don't get to let go. We get something in between, forever. And we're not part of our world anymore, but we know what happens on it. We just can't do anything to anybody who made us suffer. You never get to stop feeling—feeling. It hurts forever. It feels like this forever."
spirit to jon @sscarecrow — "Don't you know all of the twenty-year-old girls in the tri-state area all meet up, like, once a month, and we gossip, and we talk about you for, like, hours and hours and hours? We do. We really do. There's a groupchat, too."
spirit to josephine @ruinaa — "Fuck you for saying that. I'm so happy. And he takes care of me. I'm finally being taken care of. Finally, finally, finally. I love him so fucking much. Fuck, Jo!"
