Write Me and Convince Me You're Not Lying to Me When You Say It's All Right by Capriciously_Terminal

Summary
Most people would have learned of their partner’s disappearance, heading out into the field, via a note. A telegram sent to a local office. Perhaps an off-handed, nearly forgotten, reminder at the next meeting after they’d spent weeks in distress assuming the worst. Betrayal. Barbarity. Bereavement.
Most people didn’t get Kit Snicket, standing in their kitchen, being precious about their feelings. Reaching into one of the many deep pockets in her coat, rifling about for something, and waiting until she found whatever it was to answer. Leaving Olivia and the percolator in one last moment of invaluable anticipation.
“Four months,” Kit finally said, leaning against the counter, with a frankness that showed exactly how little she approved of such things herself. The coffeemaker, having completed its task, chose that precise moment to fall into silence as if mutually shocked by the news. “He’s undercover. Here, if you’ll believe it...but he will write.”

Resemble Nothing That Is Ours by Capriciously_Terminal

Summary
Ella Ashmore, undeniably, was dead. He wouldn’t live in denial of such a thing. It wouldn’t be useful.
Her life had ended.
And yet she wore pearls in her hair, now, and crowns of feathery green stone.
She was wrapped in fine gowns by girls who discreetly rubbed their palms together as they walked up a great many stairs to her chambers each morning so as to avoid her discomfort.
She smiled with a practiced ease and spoke cleanly and crisply from atop her gilded throne. She had all her teeth (and no new ones) which remained only as sharp as they’d been before (which wasn’t all that much).
Sometimes, she had him check. Had him count as she tipped her head back. Had him swear on his name as to whether anything looked any different. It hadn’t in all the times he’d checked but he never rolled his eyes at her request.
(AKA Ella Ashmore was only mostly dead...and of all people Tadius is, surprising nobody, pretty okay with that).

Summary
When asked about her coworker, Thad, the first thing Emma Perkins would say was that they weren’t friends. Like, who could be friends with a guy like that? She might say it with a wry turn to her smile, and might be remembering that time he drove her home from the mechanic, but it would be true all the same. Like, c’mon, Dude, it was just a coffee shop.
When asked about his coworker, Ella, Paul Matthews’ first question would be: who? They’d worked in different office suites within CCRP’s labyrinthian construction and it wasn’t like anybody was still talking about The Ashmore Foundation, not-so-recently acquired anymore, and the not-so-mysterious death of its former CEO. They’d shared an elevator only once and not said a word to each other.
Neither she nor Thad had much to do with the big picture stuff going on. They were more of a...subplot at the end of the world. A b-side that didn’t merit much discussion, so the story goes.

The Softer the Skin, the Sharper the Teeth by Capriciously_Terminal
Fandoms: Cinderella's Castle - Team Starkid

Summary
It looks worse than it is, he tells people with a dry sort of chuckle to put any listeners at ease, because they are somewhat paradoxical in nature.
The words and the old wounds and the man they’ve been painted onto for years.
The thought of his pain and the way he wears his hair.
The way he trims his beard and keeps his teeth clean and how he must have screamed.
(AKA There are three stories Tadius tells in regards to what happened to him on the road that night. A beautiful lie. The ugly truth. And something in between).

Between the Time of Upheaval and the Moment It Is Born Again by Capriciously_Terminal

Summary
As Tadius stands under the tossing branches of The Old Oak tree, the day bright to the point of almost seeming to shout in jubilation, he tells himself some things do not have to change just because you get everything you’ve ever wanted.
/
There’s something undoubtedly lighter about Tadius, the prince’s man (or, possibly, now her man she thinks with a strange sort of thrill) as he stands a bit behind her.
(AKA The first of my drabbles about Tadius, a werewolf who once had a whole system in place before he got everything he ever wanted).

(Ba-bom-a-bom-bom) (Ba-dang-a-dang-dang) (Blue Moon) by Capriciously_Terminal

01 Jul 2025
Summary
A compilation of drabbles regarding how I can make Tadius even more highly strung if I make him a werewolf first.
But also have you ever considered how Ella Ashmore was homegrown to be the ultimate 'chill with having a monster bf' protagonist once she gets over the fact that you didn't mention being a werewolf when you first met her?

Summary
Sam sprinted alongside the road, the satchel bouncing against his back. The long grass whipped around his feet, but he liked the grass better than the gravel. He dodged up the walk, taking the stairs to the porch in two hops. He banged on the screen door. “Mr. Wiggie!”

The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)
29 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Three-and-one-third bodies have been found in an abandoned vehicle on the riverbank.
It would be a challenging case even without the bad weather, weapons smuggling, white nationalists, industrial accidents, and the concept of pedigree dog breeds—but over it all hangs one troubling question: What is it that fascinates you about Kim Kitsuragi? Is it working class camaraderie? A sinister hex of mysterious origin? Did you imprint on him in Martinaise, like an amnesiac duckling? If you don’t figure out what’s going on soon, people are going to start to notice. Especially him.
And sooner or later? Everything is related to the case.

Prose that electrifies me. A genuine, marvelous, consideration of how uncanny this woman had to be BEFORE she became a giant robot.
