Bajo la arena sin poder salir

by Princex_N

Bruno can’t let them find out all the ways that he’s been hurt and hurting over the years. He can’t let them see how badly he’s still struggling. Bruno has been the guardian of terrible things ever since he was five years old, and these secrets are nothing new nor different. It’s not as easy as it used to be. It’s not as if they aren’t looking, after all, Bruno’s just good at not being found. He’s been hiding so long he’s not sure how to be honest anymore, and really, that’s no one’s fault but his own.

something is not right

by Princex_N

Keith should tell them. He knows that he should. It's not "Good Teamwork" to keep secrets. It's not Trustworthy to hide things from your friends. It's not good war-time strategy to have a pilot that's fucking insane. Keith knows this. But he can't make himself say anything about it.

Visceral

by Princex_N

Stiles has a lot of secrets. He's generally comfortable keeping secrets, he doesn't have a problem with them, but there are some that he keeps close to his chest, and he can feel them rotting away at his ribs and his lungs, eating through his chest and up into his throat. One stands strong in the hollow of his clavicle, its hands steady on his throat and he chokes and gags on it throughout the day and deep into the night. It tears at his muscles and leaves him trembling and spasming, and only barely holding on to the edge of functioning. --------------- A fic where Stiles was mentally ill prior to the events of the show.

Your spine is ablaze

by Princex_N

If it started in a forest with a voice whispering in his ear as he lay dying with wasps crawling into his ears, he doesn't know. But it is something, and it's something that Gansey knows that he can't ever talk about it. Because Glendower is real, and what happened was real, and he knows it. Gansey is psychotic, this changes some things, but not much.

the love in a taxidermy

by Princex_N

Everyone else in their story has a reason; a message, a purpose, an arc - anything at all - but not Evan. They are just there, existing, watching, lingering, but for what? What is the point of it all? There never seems to be one, and the injustice makes Evan want to peel skin off of muscle. He wants to bite them, wants to sink his teeth into the meat of their wings until their blood feathers break under the pressure and burn hot down his throat.I'll eat you up, I love you so, something whispers to him, and Evan grinds his teeth and can't quite bring himself to put together an argument against it.Walking the path to acceptance has never been easy. At least Evan has experience navigating empty roads.

I'll hang with this old feeling, treat it like another friend

by Princex_N

Most of the times with shows and stuff Ted does alright up on stage because there's the music or Bill to focus on instead, but now they're finished with the show stuff and all Ted wants to do is head back to the van and just be done with it all for the night. Instead they somehow wound up cornered in a crowded hallway by a woman with a microphone and camera crew who wants to do an interview and won't seem to take no for an answer.

the bug collector

by Princex_N

He can feel them inside of him, he thinks. Soft and thick and consuming, mycelium stretching the distance between his thoughts further and further. He's seen the earth consume a body more than once, more than he would really care to think, and he recognizes the sight in the gentle sludge occupying his organs, has felt it before. It's a lot. He doesn't mind it so much, he thinks.  The chair he's sitting on is covered in moss. His feet can't touch the floor to ground him there. He can feel the filaments crawling up his back instead, under his shirt and over his ribcage.  It's okay. That's fine.

carve the ache from my lungs (Safe Haven)

by Princex_N

There's no real question of where Ted's going. He knows it'll be the first place anyone thinks to look for him but it's also the only place he can go, so he has to just take it as it is. He realizes as he watches his feet hit the sidewalk that he doesn't know what time it is and it's probably really late and Bill's probably definitely asleep, but he doesn't stop running. Whether that's because he believes Bill will let him in anyway or because something will grab him if he stops is almost inconsequential.

What if this does not belong to you?

by Princex_N

The face in the mirror looks back at him, impassive. Mark looks away because he still can't decide if it's a stranger's face or his own looking back at him. If it's what stares out at him in the glass, then that means it has to be his, but Mark can't tell if he recognizes it. Is it familiar? Are you sure? Wait. What are you-?

i can't forget that look in your eyes

by Princex_N

Bruno's terror runs too deep for him to be pretending, she knows that much. Pepa just wishes knowing that made it any easier to decipher what's happening to him instead. Though he doesn't know any more than she does. At least they have that much in common.
