Not So Golden [Shachi X Reader (1/2)]
"-and downright unforgivable. I can't believe you!" you shouted, slamming the office door in the face of a very confused redheaded crewmate. The submarine door remained uncharacteristically soundless as your body pressed against it, as though it too was shocked into silence by your sudden and intense anger. A pronounced huff was liberated in a fast breath as your crossed arms clasped against it.
The utter nerve of that stupid white-boiler-suit-wearing brat. You couldn't believe that moments ago you were laughing and goofing off with him like he wasn't as awful and inhuman as he just proved himself to be. He'd hi

Special World [Law X Reader (Fluff)]
Vibrant hues of red, green, and yellow globed over the sea of water droplets as they slid down your shoulders, across your arms, and into the air before gliding to the ground. Your upper limbs were extended in a helicopter formation; your lower limbs were engaged in either a tip-toe rotation or pulled up a 90 degree angle. Water glistened on your upturned face. The only thing that could possibly outshine the glorious scene was the glowing smile that was penned across your mouth.
The heavy sigh of your Captain was audible over the soft tapping of rain that enveloped the otherwise empty street.

"Ah, Venice," you said wistfully, tossing the end of a cashmere scarf over your shoulder. You wrapped your arms around yourself as though you were cold, posing a bit at your reflection in the mirror that the TARDIS wardrobe provided. Whether completely stylish for the time period or not, you thought you looked rather dashing in your new clothes. "You said we're in the 1850s, right?" you called down.

For What It's Worth [Daryl x Reader] Ch.6
Your muscles clenched; your heart froze mid-heartbeat; and your breath choked in your airway as the deafening sound of a gunshot exploded into your ears. Your brain only had enough time to process the scream of a Walker before it went completely blank with shock; your ears were only able to register that sound at a muffled, almost unintelligible volume before they lost the ability to hear anything but a painful ring. Your eyes went wide, wider than fear had pried them before, but the blindfold rendered them as useless as your ears. You were deaf and blind...
But you were alive.
You were alive.
And that could be fixed. Easily.

Survivalist [Daryl x Reader] Ch. 5
The moon squeezed its icy beams through the gaps of the shed's rafters, alighting its spectral presence on your goosebump-coated skin. Your particularly unreliable ability to gauge time judged that the sun had gone down maybe half an hour ago. The small fragments of the sun that lingered along the treeline had disappeared. It was only you, the moon, and the cold.
The thick sheen of sweat that you had accumulated over the course of the day had retained its purpose of cooling your body down, even after you needed the opposite reaction. Miniscule shivers vibrated across your stiff body. Even your involuntary responses to the frigid temperature

For the Good of the Whole [Daryl x Reader] Ch.4
The muted sound of grass crunching beneath the pressure of footsteps began as Daryl turned from the shed. Each footstep brought the ramshackle structure farther behind him, and the distant farmhouse closer. In all honesty, he didn't prefer either end of the path he was trodding. Sunshine, as he'd self-proclaimed the prisoner's name to be, had one foot in the grave as it was. It didn't matter whether the group decided for or against her death; the odds of her surviving without medical attention went down a point with every tick-tock second that she remained in there. He had no emotional investment in her whatsoever - oh no, he'd had more than

What time was it?
Your body didn't so much as twitch as the question flared up in your mind, as it had countless times before. Your stiff muscles hardly allowed any movement without a great deal of will behind it, the factor of which you were strongly lacking in. Time. Time had all but become the heat filtering through the rafters in relentless waves. Time had become all but the sharp sting of dirt in your cuts and dull pain from your bruises. Time had become all but torture worse than any being could ever inflict. Day and night were communicated only by the cycle of unbearably hot to icicle cold. And sometimes you would miss it due to the f

The only signal that you were regaining consciousness was from the echoed blur of words that slurred their way through your ears, doing so as incoherently as if they were being spoken underwater.
Fade out.
The voices came back clearer than before, pulling you again from the numb sea of black that sloshed around in your head. Your mind lazily pulled together some of the sounds into words, forming a brief "not too much I can do for" before blanking out again.
When your second-long dip back into unconsciousness was again ruined by foreign voices, you began to subconsciously string together what you heard into words, and them into sentences as

A scream shredded through the air of the forest, the guttural moans and yells from the Walker raising in response. The shrill sound never morphed into a word of 'help', never conforming into the universal plea for salvation. There was no help. There was no salvation. That was a fact you had accepted long ago.
Your heartbeat pounded ferociously in your chest, beating twice for every one time your leg hit the ground. Blood roared in your ears, too loud to hear the crunching of leaves and grass as your feet blazed across them, but not loud enough to block out the sounds of the flesh-eater that now called you its prey.

We're In This Together | Portal Fanfic
Twin long fall boots half-covered by overlarge, dark grey pants. A portal gun hanging at the side of a 23 year-old girl in the hold of a light tan hand, its twin pointedly placed on her hip. A medium blue jacket hung open over a dark grey sleeveless with the words 'Aperture Laboratories' printed on it in bold, turquoise letters, marking her as exactly what she was: a test subject. Her mouth was set in an un-amused line below twin, rigid blue eyes. The only rush of air there was to brush across her black hair, pulled back in a ponytail so it wouldn't be in the way, was her heavy sigh.

The DUAL-NATURED Character
Building the DUAL-NATURED Character
Let's start this lecture with a HUGE secret:
-- There are Three Essential Characters in every story:
> Adversary The one causing all the trouble.
> Proponent The one trying to keep things the way they are.
> Ally The close companion of one or the other caught in the middle.
In other words, you can tell any story with ONLY these Three Characters; perhaps not with any real detail, but you could still do the entire basic plotline.
And each essential character is governed by one of three SPECIFIC aspects, or Drives
