《30 Days Challenge - Birdflash》18. Something sad
Advertisement
Am slowly getting back into the way of writing. Yay!
[Dick - 18; Wally - 20]
"Why do you have to be such a !" Wally yelled. Dick growled and pointed a finger in Wally's chest, pushing him away from himself. "Me? When are stop being such an !" Wally slapped away Dick's hand and glared furiously.
"Why can't you just accept the help I'm giving you!" Dick huffed. "I don't your help! I'm not the helpless damsel-in-distress you always think I am," he spat.
Wally rolled his eyes. "You barely sleep, come always injured back from patrol and healthy eating seems to be a foreign thing for you. Leading the team, patroling Bludhaven and going to the Police Akademie is a lot, admit it. You need to admit that you are overworked. You need help, Dick." "I'm not weak," shouted Dick.
"And I don't say you are," Wally shot back and grabbed Dick's shoulders. "I'm your boyfriend, it's my job to worry, to care, and I'm offering you the help."
"Well, Wally," Dick jerked away from the speedsters grip. "If you haven't already noticed, you're retired and you can't exactly go to the Akademie for me, no can you. Now let me be, I have a patrol to do."
Dick walked to the bedroom and started to change into his Nightwing-Suit. Wally walked into the room and snatched the mask from Dick's hand. "You will not! You are overworked and injured, I can't let you out in this condition with a good conscience." Dick tried to get the mask back from Wally, but he threw it to the other side of the room. "God, you're as bad as Batman."
Wally regretted saying that the moment Dick froze.
His head snapped up and suddenly he was very close to Wally's face. "At least didn't quit because I was too scared being slower than my mentor."

He knew he should let himself get baited, that Dick's temper was just getting the better of him, but at the mention of his insecurity, something in Wally snapped, making him say the words he would regret for the rest of his life.
"At least my mentor openly showed that he loved me. At least mY FAMILY IS STILL !"
Suddenly everything stopped. Dick looked shocked at Wally. Wally's eyes widened in horror when he realized what he had said.
"Dick..." He tried to lay a hand on his arm, but the acrobat pulled his arm away as if Wally burned him, and look at him with hurt and betrayal in his eyes.
"Let me " Dick screamed. "Get !" Tears started to fall from Dick's eyes. Wally could only look helplessly at his boyfriend's distress. "Dick!" "" Dick cut him off. "If won't leave, will." The acrobat walked towards the door.
"Dick, wait! I'm sor-" "Can it, West," Wally flinched at the cold tone. Dick turned and gave him an icy glare.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Dick smirked darkly, making Wally swallow. He heard that before, he knew where this is going. "How about misery after three years?" Tears burned behind his eyes.
He knew that line. Dick and he searched up pick up lines one day and stumbled over a different side, with quite interesting lines. It was about-
"You deserve better and so do I."
-Break up lines. Dick left the apartment without hesitation. Wally fell to his knees.
It couldn't end like this, could it? The atmosphere was tense and both were at their worst. He couldn't have fucked up this much, could he?
Steadying his breath, Wally tried to collect himself.
Everything will be fine. Dick just needed time to cool of, that's all. They are going to be fine. Dick was just mad and wanted to hurt him. That was fine, Wally had hurt him too. He just had to wait for Dick to calm down and they could talk, apologize and everything's okay.
(Wally had a feeling they won't be. He prayed they will, but it looked bad.)

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.

Legends meet the 100
DC's Legends of Tomorrow accidentally end up on Earth 100 (which is where the events of the 100 take place) right before S3 E07 and without the whole Alie problem going on. The legends are the group at the end of season 5 plus Charlie and without Mick's daughter (Zari, Nate, Charlie, Behrad, Constantine, Ava, Mick, Sara, Astra).This crossover wasn't originally my idea, but I'll try to stay true to most events and characters.
