    Summary

    Then…” she whispered, “that body…?”

    “It remains ‘active,’ in a way,” he replied. “Because the parry technique has already been performed. But without the soul inside… there’s no real control. It’s like an empty shell that hasn’t fully shut down yet.”

    Silence fell between them.

    Shelly blinked a couple of times, trying to organize everything she had just heard.

    “So… it’s dead… but at the same time… alive.”

    The twin hesitated for a second.

    “Uh… yeah. I suppose that’s a pretty accurate way to put it.”

    Summary

    It was peaceful, and Bendy could actually process his thoughts, going over the last couple of days' events in his head, letting it all sink in and file away. At least until-

    “Why does your tail keep doin that?”

    The question jars the demon out of his autopilot, fumbling with the gauze he just took out of the medkit sitting open next to the porcelain toon. He manages to catch the roll before it drops to the forest floor.

    Tldr: Bendy's tail makes his life difficult /j

    Summary

    The first time Tommy noticed Purpled, it wasn’t because of the rumors. Wasn’t because he was scared of him. It was because the guy was sitting in the cafeteria, alone. methodically dismantling a sandwich like it had personally offended him.

     

    in which Purpled is the school’s resident delinquent—detentions stacking up, knuckles always bruised, a reputation sharp enough to keep everyone at arm’s length—and Tommy, against all better judgment, can’t seem to look away.

    Summary

    "Good boy," Ewron panted out the only words that came to mind, not expecting that it would cause Nexe to leap forward. The panda laughed as Nexe rubbed his face against the base of his neck, moving his hands to pet the dog's ears.

    Summary

    "What happened? Who did this to you?"
    Ash could feel anger beginning to rise beneath the panic. Whoever had done this would regret it.
    No one touched his blade.
    No one.
    "No one. Leave me alone, Ash. You need to go."
    Ash stared at him in disbelief.
    There was no way he was leaving him here like this.
    "What? Fuck no."
    He took a step closer.
    "You're soaked, shaking, and covered in blood. I'm not leaving you here."

    Or, a story where Ash finds Ewroon having a severe panic attack in front of the church and basically kidnaps him to take care of him and then steamy smust ensues.
