The Untamed (TV)+1

Unconcerned With Worldly Pursuits

by Thisisnotthenerdyouarelookingfor

It is well known that seclusion can change a person in unexpected ways. Some shatter under the weight of silence, some blossom through adversity and emerge the better for it. Some end up a little bit odder than before, new habits and decisions made in the silence of one’s own mind affecting public perception. AKA Lan Wangji goes apeshit.

Fireflies And Flamethrowers

by QueasyBuddy (orphan_account)

And thus, the world whispered, below the shouts for the man's name, below the declaration of his glory. May he have the glory if he so desires, thinks the beast of glossed-over eyes. And may he enjoy it while it lasts, whispers something soon to rot. OR  Under the red sun's furious glare, Prince Ozai denies the dragon's blessing, takes no pity of the abominable things before his eyes. It all falls apart from there.

The Great Escape

by BrooklynBugleBoy

"Where are you going, Houdini?" He'd screamed at her once. But when he took that first fateful step towards her, looking more and more like their version of the Boogeyman, she'd closed her eyes and waited for the punch that never came. Roger was crying instead. Looking for all the world like a scared child, the one he'd always been. "I'm going to become him." Their abusive prick of a Dad. He wept. "And you'll become her." Their empty husk of a Mum. Roger left that year. Left her alone, in the Hell they had always called Home.  An Escapologist: an entertainer specializing in escaping from the confinement of such things as ropes, handcuffs, and chains.
