Lessons in Entropy: Part 2
Even as she played with her daughter, Elena was keenly aware of the sounds of movement coming up the stairs and then coming from the guest room. She shuddered to think of that demon staying for very long in her house, but held her instinctive anger in check, even as she heard Isaac descend the stairs and then go up them again more slowly. Elena scolded the part of her that hoped that demon was a corpse. The wound she had seen had looked terrible and despite having some basic understanding of the healing abilities said to be had by demons with high-percentage human to demon ratio in their bloodand that had been some high percentage in Mae...

Loki X Reader: The Fate of a Fool - CH 6
Everyone was here, despite the early hour. Even Stark had successfully dragged himself out of bed to attend, although he had made his complaints known straight away. He was the last to arrive, of course, slipping into the conference room at the very last possible moment. Looking around the assembled group, they were only missing three of the Tower’s current residents. Those particular absences were intentional; no need to include [Y/n] and Pepper, who would be in the corporate offices downstairs already.
And it’s all for the best that we held this without Loki here, Thor added silently to himself. Given what I suspect the t...

He's never seen Hazel cry so harshly before. What do you do when the person you could always count on isn't there anymore? In Percy's case, he hadn't noticed Nico's presence until he was gone, and by then, it was likely too late. He tries to cope with this.

life has never beenso shockingas it was last night. wait, wait, wait, i pleaded tothem, my friends,knowing theywouldn't.left alone so farup in the sky,unable to come down—i had been abandoned.the storm cloudsexploded with thunder,as lightning surgedthrough me.my heart skippeda beat or two,as i cried out, come back, back, back. but they, my friends,didn't.the tears hurt morethan my burnt handas i climbed downfrom the sky,spirit now singed either from lonelinessor from electricity.

All Things End Volume II: Part 8
Chapter 8: A PleaCourage warily made his way over to the spot where he and Computer had originally fled from the men in black. The right side of the gas station was incredibly dark without Computer's glow and not even the dumpster could be seen pushed up against the wall anymore. If there was supposed to be a light, it had either long since burnt out or nobody had bothered to turn it on. Courage fumbled around blindly as he tried to find the dumpster in hopes of using it to get his bearings. At the very least he could no longer see the flashlights that those men were carrying around in the forest, nor could he hear anyone nearby. Hopefully...
Do you know what you’ve done,
With your actions and choices?
As you play a sick game using deception and poisons,
Designed to steal all that is joysome.
Do you know what you’ve caused?
As worry and fear envelope our emotions,
Leaving us beaten and broken,
With no hope, like we’re lost in the Ocean.
Do you know what you’ve brought?
As we lay sleepless that evening,
Thinking she may stop breathing,
Preparing ourselves for grieving.
Do you know how we felt when her health slowly fell?
When we cried to ourselves all night long,
Knowing that someone like you was involved.
Do you know how we felt when you poisoned our dog?
Do you know what you’ve done,
With your actions and choices?
Because you thought it’d be fun to play with the poisons,
Get ready to face your consequences.
