Agent Vivien. Twenty-eight. For her, home is a place you cannot escape like the smoke in your lungs from a housefire your father started. You still cough up dollhouse plastic and holy basil from time to time and it smells like your mother's grave. She picks up after her baby brother's messes who is twenty-five. Her mother dies, but it's the aftermath that sets the implosion. A shark at her job, she keeps moving, she's got to, or she'll drown. She craves the distance and the compartmentalization her job gives, the quick escape from knowing the aftermath of her jobs. Never stick around for the aftermath.
The drink in Laila’s hand sloshes crimson and ribbon thick when she picks it up, the metal of her prosthetic hand clinking against the shot glass. The taste of copper and nickel coats the roof of her mouth as she downs it in one go, and then sneers at the way her tongue tries to chase the taste again. She quickly sneaks a glance to find no one watching.
The TV blares—the brightest object in the room, the fluorescent bulbs and lights content to mingle in the dark. Clad in glamour and glitz, the throng of people on the dance floor shake and grind, rake their hands up their bodies and others in a psychedelic haze of sweat and spit.
Through the crowd, a fairy’s wings shimmer as he clashes his mouth against a translucent man. Their pulse hammers to the beat of an indie rock song by the Vampire Weekend. She snorts at the irony.
Then, a scream pierces through her head. She exhales sharply, clutching her head in her hands. Spots of color block her vision, and she slams her eyes shut, only to see an inverted image of a man. Please, not again.
She scrambles to throw a wall in her mind and forces her eyes wide open. One moment, the man is sitting in front of her tangible and in full technicolor, a cut splitting his cheekbone and water dripping down his blue lips. The next, he flickers out until she is staring at the rows of wine bottles.
Another person, dead. Nine in the past fortnight.
She knew how the protocol dictated and it only gave her three minutes at most. If she didn't remove all traces of her hacking into the victim's computer, they would label her a suspect. She was a cyber vigilante, not a murderer, thank you very much. Criminals are very sensitive about the crimes they commit, and the least you could do is to accuse her accurately.
She began severing each connection, leaving behind no trace, but before she could finish, Detective Alvarez zeroed his eyes on the hidden camera and pulled out a notepad from his jacket. Then, he strode across the Persian rug, and bent low until he was right in front of the camera. He unfolded the paper and held it up. On it was one message.
How long have you been watching, Oblivion?
The screen blacked out. All connections severed from the camera.
These two are gonna be the death of me ✨✌️
I’m so sorry for slow posting! College has been time consuming, but I’ll try hard to post more often with sketch’s ✨✌️

I picked up crochet several years back. Out of all of the hobbies that I have cycled through over my life, crochet has stubbornly stuck around. While most of my creations tend to the practical (hats, blankets, leg warmers, bags, and more hats) the evolution of my current project has greatly surprised me. I quite a black thumb, so I never really were drawn to lush leaves and delicate blooms. Until now. I found a way to craft my own undying flowers and vines. Looking at each one as I finish my creations delights me in an entirely unexpected way! I am excited to see how this project continues forward. I am not entirely sure what the end product will just yet. Currently I am toying with making a garland of wisteria blooms and strings of hearts to adorn my bed canopy. I also have to see how my little voidling (cat) will respond to them, once fully assembled.
Thank you for the tag mootie @chibinasuu

Here's a smol pose practice wip
WIP Wednesday
“Want me to make some tea?” Luke asked, taking his hand. “Maybe we can try the HearthSpice?”
Din nodded, not trusting his voice at the moment. Then he noticed the shiny object in Padmé’s hair.
“Wait, Veré, are you wearing a karking tiara?” He asked.
Luke and Zoya burst out laughing. Jade sighed and shook her head, muttering a “told you it’s too much.” Padmé smiled and covered her laughs with her hand.
“Din, yesterday was the only day I’ve seen her not go through at least fifteen changes of clothing and I think that was because Luke was trying on her clothes.” Zoya said. “Yes she wears a tiara to bed.”
“I don’t go through that many outfits.” Padmé said.
~~~~
“Here.” Luke said, handing Din the cup of tea. “It probably won’t taste the same since your parents added stuff to it, but I hope it’s at least still a comfort.”
Din gratefully took the tea. “Thanks sahe’as.” He said.
He took a sip of the tea. It wasn’t as warm or earthy as his parent’s tea, likely the lack of herbs his parents added. Still, it was warm and comforting.
Tears started running down his face.
“Cyare what’s wrong?” Luke asked.
Din set the cup down and sobbed. He couldn’t remember his parents, but he missed them. Badly. He wanted nothing more than to have them hold him in their arms one more time.
Luke hugged him.
“I’m sorry.” He murmured. “I know I’m not them, but maybe I can offer you some comfort this way?”
“I miss them, Luke. I miss my mummy and daddy.” Din said. “I know it’s childish to call them that, but that’s what I was still calling them when I lost them.”
“Shh,” Luke hushed. “It’s okay. I won’t judge.”
Din just held him closer and continued to sob. He couldn’t say everything about it, not yet. He wanted to, but he just wasn’t ready to talk about it anymore than he had.
“I’ll be here when you are, I promise.” Luke murmured.
Din sobbed harder. What had he done to deserve him? To deserve someone so patient and understanding?
“Is he gonna be ok?” Ollie asked.
“He’ll be fine Ollie.” Luke said. “Just, don’t get anymore dead things, that’s the last thing that’ll help.’
Din choked out a laugh as he continued to cry. He wouldn’t have the same attachment to some random lizard, but he appreciated what Luke was saying.
“Then how can I help?” Ollie asked.
“Just give him space, okay?” Luke asked. “If he asks for anything specific from you, you can help that way, okay?”
“Okay Luke!” Ollie said. “Feel better Din.”
Din nodded against Luke’s shoulder and gave a small wave as the girl scampered off. Din had a feeling she wasn’t going anywhere far, probably hanging around the hallway for when he was coherent enough to request something of her.
“It’s okay, let it out.” Luke soothed.
Din continued to sob for a good couple of minutes before they turned into sniffles and hiccups. Luke held him through it all, murmuring sweet nothings and comforts like Din had for him not too long ago. Today wasn’t off to a great start.
“I’m sorry Cyare, I thought it’d help.” Luke apologized.
“It did Luke.” Din murmured. “I just miss them.”
“You’re allowed to miss them Din.” Luke said. He paused and Din could feel something click in place in their bond. Like he’d just realized something. “Did you ever even grieve for them?” He asked.
Din stiffened. He’d been content to just forget all about them until now. He wasn’t sure he was quite ready to grieve and let go either. He knew he needed to, but something about it just didn’t feel right yet.
“Cyare.” Luke sighed.
“I know, I’m sorry.” Din said. “I just started feeling close to them, I don’t want to let them go yet. I’m not ready to say goodbye.”
