The Threads That Bind is a free to play interactive novel set within the magical world of Harry Potter. Wherein you play as a wizard that’s been transported back into the Founder’s Era of Hogwarts. Will you find your way back? Will you want to?
The Magical World is filled a variety of creatures— from fire breathing dragons to shrieking plants— that vary in terms of deadliness. The creatures, however, aren’t the only things one needed to watch out for; other magic users, the one’s with an affinity to the Dark Arts, still roamed even after years of Voldemort’s defeat.
That’s where you come in.
You’re an Auror— a police officer for the Magical World— that makes sure the innocent people of Diagon Alley, and beyond, are kept safe.
It was during one of these chases— having been tipped off about a suspected straggler from Voldemort’s Army— that your life changed forever.
Having crashed through one of the seedier stores within Knockturn Alley, you were blinded by a flash of light before appearing in a world that seemed like your own but was completely different all the same.
Not only were you stuck in the past— centuries before you were ever borne— you had no idea how to return to the present.
Nor did the people who came with you…
This story will be rated 18+ later on for profanity, alcohol consumption, violence, sexual themes, and mentions of torture.
Customizable MC: name, nickname, appearance, magical leanings, sexuality, gender, and various other things.
Choose your Patronus (when it crops up)!
Choose which House you had been apart of! Allowing for amusing dialogue with the Founder’s (especially the one that you choose to romance).
Romance 1 of 6 options that will offer unique experiences for your MCs.
Find your way through a world that is so familiar but so alien all the same.
Discover Hogwarts as you’ve never seen it and interact with a whole new cast of characters.
Play Quidditch— possibly with one of the Founder’s— and learn how the game might have changed.
Figure out a way to get back to your own time— if you even want to— while trying not to hurt one of the people who had come with you.
Interact with a variety of magical creatures.
The Founder of House Gryffindor; Godric/Godria is exactly as the stories have spoken of. Standing tall and proud, auburn hair falling in gentle waves, as their green eyes observe their surroundings. Their famous sword always on their hip as they traverse through the halls of Hogwarts.
Will you tame their lion heart? Or will you get nothing but heartache for your troubles?
The Founder of House Hufflepuff; Helge/Helga is a kind hearted being that wants nothing but the best for their students— and for the other Founders to stop bickering— with encouraging words always leaving their lips. Dark brown hair, paired with hazel eyes, giving off a gentle aura that they always try to maintain.
Will you show them the loyalty they’ve always given others? Or will you leave them like the many before?
The Founder of House Ravenclaw; Rowen/Rowena is an intelligent individual that always has an air of detachment surrounding them. Raven black hair, crystalline blue eyes, and fair skin, gives them an intimidating stature that they don’t dispute. However, it’s with a select few of their students that they let their guard down. Letting their true identity to appear. Will you ever become lucky enough to see it?
Will you be able to temper their talons? Or will you only end up getting cut?
The Founder of House Slytherin; Salazar/Salazara is not what you were expecting when you met them for the first time. Pale blonde hair, slate grey eyes, and alabaster skin were not things you’ve ever heard them be described with. Their cunning mind, quick wit, and silver tongue doing well to detract from peoples attention on their looks.
Will you be able to withstand their venom? Or will you fall prey to it like many before you?
Your partner— one of the people that had been unfortunately pulled with you— for over two years. They may not have the most practical ideas but they’re more likely to work than one may think. Their dark brown eyes filled with nothing but warmth towards you— pairing well with their onyx black curls and medium brown skin tone— as they’ve often mentioned they could have never asked for a better partner.
Will you become more? Or is that all you will ever be?
The other person that was pulled along— unfortunately for you— who also happens to be the very person you had been chasing. One of the last stragglers of Voldemort’s army; Kieran/Kiera’s dark blue eyes are sharper than the simple lackeys you’ve met before. Paired with their flirtatious smile and quips, you know you have quite the time ahead of you. Especially now that you don’t technically have the jurisdiction to detain them.
Will you find out what hides underneath the mark on their arm? Or will they forever remain an enigma to you?

Hooked is set within Never Land but probably not as you remember it. With characters that are a bit different than you remember too.
Genre(s): Dark Fantasy, Romance, Action/Adventure, and Drama
Setting: Never Never Land
Warning(s): This story is rated 18+ for depictions of violence, blood, mentions of past torture, death, mentions of manipulation, profanity, sexual themes, and piracy.
“All you need is faith, trust, and pixie dust…”
It was a sentence, whispered with such sweet sincerity, that pulled the unassuming into a web they could never escape. Promises of eternal youth, endless adventures, and a land that you could forget all your troubles in, being the final nail in the proverbial coffin. As it was never explained what you had to give up in return; everything that you’d sacrifice in order to achieve such wonderment.
Your life…
The memories of a gentle touch across your forehead, followed by the sound of soft laughter that never failed to fill you with warmth, was all that you could recall of your life before Never Land. Before you had been deceived into believing that you could have better. Never knowing that you were about to leave better behind…
Faith had been lost long ago when you had begun to miss your mother and wanted to go back; wanted to be in her warm embrace once more. Trust had followed quickly after when you had been shunned for expressing such wishes.
All that remained was pixie dust— in a small vial wedged somewhere within your room— but even that would never be able to take you to where you wished to be. A place, a time, that you’d never be able to go to again.
Your old name— the one your mother had given you— was only spoken by a select few but you were known far and wide by another name. A name that had been given to you by the very man that had brought you here.
Captain Hook.
Play as Captain Hook as you try to come to terms with everything that has happened in your life. Will you be able to get to the bottom of what happened to Peter Pan? Or will everything forever be shrouded in darkness?
Customizable MC: name, gender, sexuality, appearance, and a smattering of vices/hobbies that could crop up. (Note: You haven’t lost your hand. Yet.)
Befriend the Crocodile that always seems to be following you around.
Romance 1 of 5 options from Peter Pan himself to your first mate.
Will you be able to figure out a way to stop Peter before more children suffer the same fate you have?
Don’t let the beauty of Never Land fool you… it’s a dark and dangerous place that one needs to have a sharp mind to navigate.
Remember to trust yourself and your instincts but don’t forget the people who wish to help you. They may be the ones to save your life…
Peter Pan [M] - The Lost Boy
Appears 28 [6’2” | Dark Brown Eyes | Auburn Hair]
With a devilish smile, mischievous eyes, and an unpredictable personality, Peter has never been one to truly fit into one box. Especially not with how long you’ve known him. Of course, you also remember when the dark brown of his eyes were filled with warmth and care. Instead of how they are now where they almost seem devoid of everything that made Peter… Peter. Maybe, with your help, you’ll be able to help him find his way back.
FC: Jeremy Sumpter
Tinkerbell [F] - The Mystery
Appears 26 [5’8” | Sapphire Blue Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]
You’ve never known that much about Tinkerbell— besides the fact that she had a fiery temper— but you also try to forget the majority of the path that has led you to where you are now. Having never truly been close with Tink it’s understandable why you’re surprised to find her surrounded by your crew; completely willing to hand herself over if it meant she could speak with you. Will you be able to discover the secrets that she keeps? Will you find something more along the way?
FC: Elizabeth Olsen
Samuel/Samantha [M/F] - The First Mate
Appears 33 [5’5” | Hazel Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]
The one person in Never Land that you can confidently say that you trust. Your First Mate, or Smee as the majority of your crew calls them, is a gentle soul that tries their best to please you no matter what. It’s a fact that you’ve tried to change but their unwavering devotion to you hasn’t shifted their stance in the slightest. With a kind smile, gentle heart, and compassionate nature, it’s no wonder that Smee is one of the most crucial members of your crew. You know that you’d be lost without them.
FC: Miguel Iglesias || Victoria Justice
Adriel/Ariel [M/F] - The Connection
Appears 29 [5’11” | Emerald Green Eyes | Ash Brown Hair]
One of the few people within Never Land that’s connected to your past that you still actively try to speak to. With a stoic exterior, hiding a heart of gold beneath, they’ve always made your time in Mermaid Cove much easier by scaring the rest of the mermaids away when you’ve needed to speak to them; especially since you know that Peter tends to frequent the place too. Now, with the addition of legs, they’ve sworn to help you figure out what’s poisoned not only Never Land but it’s supposed Guardian as well.
FC: Mitchell Wick || Angelina Jolie/Megan Fox
Gray/Grace [M/F] - The Newest Addition
27 [5’10” | Light Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]
The most recent newcomer to Never Land that is unlike any of the ones you’ve seen before; with the simple fact that they’re a full fledged adult. Only used to dealing with possibly hysterical kids you don’t truly know how to deal with an hysterical adult. Especially when they keep spouting things about Disney and this having to be a dream. Fortunately, whenever they’re not completely freaking out they have a wonderful personality; a teasing tone, compassionate eyes, and a dazzling smile. Will you be able to show them that the stories they’ve (somehow) heard aren’t true? That you’re not the villain.
FC: Michael B. Jordan || Naomi Campbell
random; and today's topic is edits + my ocs for interactive fiction games (?)
ngl i kinda wanna post my ocs here and yes i got this idea after finishing yet another interactive fiction game specifically buried love by @buriedlove. i'm a massive simp for alex tbh but i'm sure as hell gonna try aayush and maybe eli. anyways i have like two different ocs for buried love and my dumbass wants to make another one like girl what 😂. i also would love to post edits of my ocs here too but i unfortunately haven't tried editing anything in sooo long
(is this my second post? hell yeah!)
Today’s the day!! Thank you all for your patience. I’m beyond excited to share the first demo of No Haven in Hallow Cove!
Please keep in mind that this is very much still a first draft, and subject to change. I welcome and appreciate any feedback you can offer. Currently I have two options for feedback: comments on the itchio page and messages here. I can’t promise that suggestions will be implemented but I can promise that they will be read, appreciated, and considered. If you see any coding issues like bugs or inconsistencies, please either screenshot or send me the direct text so I can fix it.
The romance system in particular I would love feedback on. Romance styles are so unique to the individual, and I want to make sure I’m incorporating other peoples experiences as well as my own. If there are dialogue options you would have wanted, changes in inner thoughts, alternatives to the current romance options, please let me know! Thank you in advance.
The fact that you are taking the time to read it at all means a lot to me, so thank you.
Also, this book features many adult themes and content that may be disturbing or triggering. I’m not including a detailed list of triggers as it would spoil major plot points so instead I will ask that you please exercise caution and prioritize your own mental health first. If you know that general discussions of mental health are upsetting, this might not be the book for you. I am more than happy to answer if you want to privately message me about specific triggers but that information will not be included on public pages. Thank you for your understanding.
I hope you enjoy the first two chapters.
Demo (mobile friendly)
Current word count: ~50,000
important notes: this game is still in early development—and for right now this project is on the back burner of my mind. i do, however, hope to get chapter one out before next year. ++ there will be no nfsw at all. i'm open to answering nsfw questions as long as they aren't super explicit! block the tag amorist [nsfw] if you don't want to see those asks.
you've never been in a successful relationship, but that didn't stop you from making a blog to answer people's questions and concerns about love. when you first started you didn't expect to get as big as you did and you definitely didn't expect for one of the world's biggest media companies—VW Media—to offer you your own podcast. the only downside is you have to compete with sabrina gray to get it. the competition lasts two months and within those months the person who gets the most engagement and positive feedback will work with VW Media. hopefully, you can juggle your new found love life while also helping strangers with theirs.
choose your pronouns & decide what you identify as (transgender & nonbinary inclusive), customize your appearance, what your blog looks like + more.
pursue a relationship with 1 of 4 characters, 2 gender locked and 2 gender selectable between male or female.
romances include best friends to lovers, fake dating, secret relationship, and rivals to lovers.
grow your popularity as a love "expert".
choose what makes amorist, amorist. are you blunt, kind, or is your advice more on the cryptic side?
compete to get your own podcast sponsored by one of the biggest media companies in the world.
more to be added as the game is developed
♡┊Isabel/Isaiah Cardonas [F/M]
isa has been your best friend for over a decade, despite your lack of communication. recently they've decided to move in with you, which you can't decide is a good or bad thing. your relationship has been bordering between friendship and something a little more romantic since you graduated high school. though, it's hard to tell what isa means when all they do is flirt with you.
♡┊Ezekiel Wilson [M]
ezekiel is the competition's advisor—in fact, he's the reason for it to begin with. from what you've heard about him, he's a blunt, easily annoyed jerk. however, you can't always believe what the internet says. since the first time you met, ezekiel has been nothing but sweet to you. he seems like the total opposite of what everyone says.
♡┊Kara/Kade Hyun [F/M]
k, the brains behind the amorist website. they also happen to be one of your closest friends—which thank god, because you don't even want to think about how terrible you site would've been. when you first met them, you'll be honest, you thought k was a major jerk. turns out you couldn't have been more wrong, they're probably the nicest person in the world. and you have a lot to thank them for, especially after they agreed to date you—fake date you.
♡┊Sabrina Gray [F]
for as long as you can remember, sabrina has one-upped you in almost every activity you've expressed interest in. the most recent one being advice giving—specifically love related. well, she hasn't one-upped you, yet. you two have the same amount of followers, which is why she just so happens to be your competitor. maybe being forced to officially compete with her will give you the chance to figure out why she insists on being better than you.
[18+ Blog] || Demo [TBA]
‘Of Love And Starlight’ is a fantasy/slice of life interactive novel in which you must take on the quest of saving your club, with a custom MC, whilst battling with (or running head first into) falling in love— be it romantically or platonically —along the way.
This is, first and foremost, something fluffy and romantic— it’ll follow a story, yes, but at a slower pace as opposed to something fast and action-filled. Additionally; the poly routes, and proper development of the platonic route(s?), will be added at a later date— given that this is an inherently romantic IF I’m going to focus on that first, so please bear with me.
The blog is run primarily by me (Glitch!), but Cypher will be proofreading and adjusting my answers when necessary (it will absolutely be necessary at times, I struggle with words sometimes)— though if you want to ask either of us something specifically then just specify a name :)
And, finally, a disclaimer:
I’m not the best writer anyway, but that’s probably not helped by the fact that I know absolutely nothing about code. Whilst this game functions, and does so smoothly, it isn’t the most attractive of designs. Eventually I’ll be confident enough to change that, but for now I'm afraid you’ll have to tolerate plain colours (at least they match!)— I'm sorry about that.
Now! On to the game things!
Content warning(s): strong language, suggestive themes (later on//in asks)
They say that the stars are beautiful here, that they've never seen something so bright against the night sky, twinkling in a hundred constellations hung by the deities. And they say, in hushed whispers, that every child has their twinkling mural, a pattern assigned to them at birth— an inescapable label, a supposed tell of their character.
You? Well your's is ‘Pyxis, the compass that guides through storms, though for a guiding force there seems to be little direction to your freetime.
You play a student trying to keep the Stargazing Club afloat at Feywood Academy, in the wake of its dwindling popularity— apparently the other students don’t value the celebration of the constellations as much as you. But you aren’t alone! Join forces with your clubmates and bring some starlight back to the student body, or at least some to yourselves whilst you try.
Customise your MC: name, appearance, gender (via pronouns), and magyk speciality!
Amongst other things; befriend, antagonise, or start an enemies to lovers arc with one (or, eventually, multiple) of four ROs— three gender flippable, and one genderlocked non-binary
Make friends with a strangely attentive cat who answers only to ‘Poprock’; will you be the one to find out where on the deities green earth they came from?
Learn more about and use your magyk for the good of the club (or yourself, should you wish to impress)
Meet...a deity? It's probably a deity.
And, most importantly, attend a constellation celebration!
THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE;

Into every generation a slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer.
That’s the spiel you had been told on the eve of your sixteenth birthday; a day where your biggest worry should have been if you were going to get the car you wanted. You shouldn’t have dealt with the fact, and the dawning horror, that you were chosen to be the one to fight the coming waves of evil.
You didn’t want to believe it— hadn’t believed it to be true— and for the next two years everything was fine. There was an odd occurrence every now and then, but nothing that couldn’t be easily explained away by simple logic.
That is until you move to a new town— a town with a reputation for death— and everything starts to become a little too real. Your nightmares becoming a reality…
Will you be able to stop the incoming darkness? Or were you destined to die like all the Chosen One’s before you?
The MC is Gender Locked Female.
This story is inspired by the show Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and will be free from start to finish.
Will you be prepared for the great evil that seems to be lurking behind every corner? Or will you end up perishing too?
Will you be able to pass your classes while fighting the forces of evil at night? Will you even remember where they are?
Romance 1 of 6 options that will make your destiny that much easier to bear. Or that much harder…
Remember to have fun and enjoy yourself!
This story is rated Mature (18+) for depictions of violence, blood, gore, mentions of torture, profanity, sexual themes, underage alcohol consumption, and various other things that will crop up as the story continues.
NSFW asks will be tagged #nsfw for anyone that may wish to avoid them.
The Slayer that came before you. An individual that doesn’t back down from a fight and has a spirit has fiery at the pits of hell. She doesn’t know when to quit and refuses to back down from a fight when it concerns the people she cares for. The only problem? She was supposed to be dead.
Appearance: Anastasia stands at around 6’0” with electric blue eyes and raven black hair. Her lightly tanned skin stands out against the usual black leather that she wears. Her athletic body honed from years of training/fighting. (Her hair falls to just over her shoulder blades in soft waves.)
One of the first people that you meet upon your entrance to Solaris High School. With a goofy demeanor, laid back attitude, and penchant to shove his own foot in his mouth, Oliver is definitely an oddball but you couldn’t imagine life without him. Not when he’s so clearly adamant about helping you. No matter what.
Appearance: Oliver stands at around 5’8” with dark brown eyes and dark brown hair. Light brown skin causes the gold flecks within his gaze to stand out. He’s usually seen within a graphic tee, almost drowning his slender body, of some kind and his trusty bag thrown over his shoulder.
The first person that you meet within Solaris High that actually seems to be a genuine individual. Quinn doesn’t speak much, and she’s absolutely shy, but her intelligence shines through and her genuine wish to help you. Maybe it’s because of Oliver taking a liking to you, but you weren’t about to complain about having her help.
Appearance: Quinn stands at around 5’3” with dark green eyes and dark auburn hair. Her bronze skin causes the contrast of her eyes and hair to stand out that much more. She has a slender, almost delicate , body the usually hides beneath layers of clothing. (She keeps her hair to just under her shoulders.)
The one to watch out for within the halls of Solaris High. One word from their lips can either mean life or death for a person’s social standing. With an arrogant smile, haughty attitude, and complete lack of social awareness when it comes to their bluntness, you don’t know why you feel drawn to them, but you’re going to figure it out. Maybe even discovering something more along the way…
Appearance: They stand at around 5’11” with hazel eyes and light brown, almost golden brown, hair. Bronze skin standing out against the expensive brands that they tend to wear. You can’t look anything except your best after all. (Noah keeps his hair short and Nora keeps her hair to just over her shoulders.)
The mysterious stranger that you swear you’ve met before, but can’t quite place. Though you feel like you’d remember someone with their soft spoken demeanor and tendency to sink back into the shadows at a whim. You’re not sure why, but seeing them again brings a memory to the surface of your mind but it’s too far for you to grasp. Will you be able to discover what the stranger means to you? And what they’re hiding?
Appearance: They stand at around 6’3” with steel gray eyes and onyx black hair. Their olive toned skin has turned pallid, but you can’t truly understand why. They have an athletic build but not one that you’d consider bulky. (Cassius keeps his hair just above his ears and Celeste keeps her to her shoulder blades.)
Where C is soft spoken and mainly keeps to themself, L is anything else. They made it known, when entering Solaris, what they were and that it was you they were after— even if you weren’t exactly sure if they wanted to kill you or not. With a brazen attitude, tendency to flirt no matter the moment, and general suaveness, they were certainly one you couldn’t miss.
Appearance: They stand at around 6’5” with ice blue eyes and golden white hair. Pale skin standing out against the dark colors they tend to favor; really living up to the vampire stereotype. They have a lithe build that has power strewn across it. (Lucian keeps his short and Lucia keeps hers to the middle of her back.)
You’re the star of one of the biggest TV Shows to grace the pixelated screens of the world in a long time. A series set in your own world but an alternate one; so familiar yet alien.
Your character is one of the Afflicted; beings that have visions of what is to come, all muddled during sleep, only the sense of foreboding remaining. Leaving scattered memories and a sickening feeling in your gut. It was a show, the concept and chemistry between the cast, that pulled people in. Launching you into the stratosphere of stardom.
It was only after a small accident on set that everything started to change. You started getting them— seeing them…. visions. But not just any visions.
You were actually in your characters place; transported into the city of Elasora. Where reality and fiction starts to blur.
Will you be able to pull yourself out of your waking dream? Before it becomes your living nightmare?
This story is 18+ for mature themes that will later be depicted in the story. Please be aware of this before you continue on.
Customizable MC; gender, sexuality, name, appearance, maybe even some vices.
Romance 1 of 5 characters that’ll offer varying complexities in your life. (3 being gender selectable.)
Will you start to succumb to the world your world believes is fiction? Or will you stand strong against it?
How will you let your dreams affect your day-to-day life?
Will you let anyone in? How will you explain it?
Will your reality meld with your fantasy?
-The Love Interest-
The onscreen love interest of your character with unparalleled chemistry. Your characters have livened up the show; becoming its very heart. The only problem? They can’t stand you when the cameras aren’t rolling. Something that becomes that much harder to deal with after every dream ends. How can you look them in the eyes that are filled with nothing when just hours before they had been filled with complete adoration?
(Also known as Leon/Lena Stark.)
Russian // Irish // British
-The Best Friend-
Your onscreen and offscreen best friend. They have stuck by you through the trying tribulations of when your career was first starting. Being their fun loving selves throughout as they gently tease you. You know that they’d always stay steadfast in your corner. Offering you a hand if you needed it. You have high hopes that this will be one of those times.
(Also known as Shawn/Sarah O’Hara.)

-The PA-
One of the newest additions to the set that offers a breath of fresh air. Having been a long time fan before signing onto be apart of the crew; maybe they’ll offer you an insight you haven’t thought of before. Giving you a semblance of an idea, even if it’s just a fan theory, on why this is happening to you.
American // South African
-The Manager-
A woman that might have a serious migraine, or worse, if you don’t start getting your act together. While she may appear cold to some you know that Amelia has your best interests at heart. You were her first, and most treasured, client. You just hope that when you need her most she’ll pull through. Like she always has in the past for you.
German // British // American
-The Writer-
Who better to help you then the man who has made the very lore of the world you’re going to? Kaidan is one of the people that can help you make sense of what is happening to you. His warm personality and kind smile doing little to detract from that sentiment. You just hope that he actually believes you. Though you wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t.
Korean // American
-The Villain-
The antagonist of the show that is as deadly as they are beautiful. With a sinister smile and a dark past they’ve fostered quite the following; especially when in comparison to the sunny person that plays them. Someone who would give you the shirt off their back if you asked. A fact that makes it that much harder to connect who you’re used to dealing with, with the character that they play. A character that has become all too real. May become an RO later on.
(Also known as Aiden/Amara Heroux.)
French // Scottish
-The Producer-
One of the Executive Producers, who also happens to be your mother, and always makes sure that everything is in order. While she may appear to be aloof on the outside she can be quite caring; especially when in regards to you. Though she’s never been one to give you anything in your career. You had to work for your lead role in the show. Something you’d forever be grateful for.
-The Director-
One of the best directors in the game; your show was lucky to be able to get her. And while you’ve never been the closest with her, you can tell that she cares greatly for every single person on the set. Unless someone is shirking their duties (then it’d be best to get out of sight). Maybe she’ll offer some guidance in your time of need. Even if she doesn’t know what exactly she’s helping you with.
German // British
-The Protection-
The resident guard dogs on set, always there because of your head-of-security, that offer companionship to all those that need it; as long as they get belly rubs out of the deal. You’ll always be safe with these two watching your back.

The higher you rise, the harder you fall…
It was saying that you were familiar with— an old friend just like the bitter taste on your tongue— as you stare out at the city that used to revere you. The city that used to look towards you in their time of need.
You were their champion….
Their hero…
Now you’re nothing but a husk— a shell— of what used to be.
Their cheers turned to screams as your world crumbled around you; by your own hand. Friends and family turning to enemies and enemies turning to something else.
All because of the saccharine sweet voice telling you that this was the only way to save them. To beat the evil that was coming you had to become something other than yourself.
But could you truly tell where the fabrication ended and the real you began?
Or have you lost everything after all…
Travel the Path of Redemption or fall to the Path of Corruption; each offering unique experiences for your MCs. Will you follow your own conscience after so long? Or will you succumb to the whispered wishes within your mind?
Unite with your old hero team— the one that you helped create— as you try to prepare the city, as well as the world, for a creature that won’t allow survivors.
Speak with your relatively normal roommate— the one that has been pulled into all of this— as you try to wrangle the new direction your life has taken.

Remember: living is not just about surviving.
Lucian/Lucia Knight - The Mirage [M/F]
32 [6’2” | Emerald Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]
“You think that sorry is going to fix everything? You destroyed everything that we built together! Everything that meant something to us you turned to rubble. Sorry isn’t going to fix this. Not this time.”
You hadn’t expected a warm welcome upon seeing them again— after all the divorce was still fresh on both of your hearts— but their detached tone, emotionless stare, and mirthless laugh, struck you harder than you thought. You were so used to playful quips, gentle humming before they swooped in for a kiss, and now it was like you were looking at a stranger. You couldn’t imagine how they must feel looking at you now too.
Isaac/Isabella Hayes - The Blaze [M/F]
31 [5’8” | Hazel Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]
“I used to think that I knew you but that all changed the day you turned your backs on us. You don’t do that to people you care for and you definitely don’t do that to family. I-I just don’t know what happened to make you do what you did.”
Your best friend— for as long as you could remember— that has never looked at you with anything but laughter in their gaze; even when you were going through your worst fights. Judgement. Hatred. Would have been better than the look they’re giving you now; confusion. They’ve never questioned you before— always believing in you completely— but now they can’t do anything else.
Kieran/Kiera Prince - The Hunter [M/F]
31 [6’5” | Sapphire Blue Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]
“I’m surprised to see you again, sweet thing, I didn’t think you’d ever come back to my neck of the woods. What is it now? Do you want to arrest lil’ ole me? No, you wouldn’t have that look on your face if you did. You need my help don’t you? Come now, sweet thing, spit it out, I want to hear you say you need me.”
A villain that you’ve met multiple times within your years of crime-fighting. Sharp intelligence being hidden behind cocky smiles and flirtatious quips— that can be quite as disarming as the weapons they carry— but one must never lose their senses around them: it may be the last thing you ever do. You may not like calling on them for help but you need everyone you can get in this fight.
Harry/Harley Adler - The Roommate [M/F]
30 [5’5” | Light Brown Eyes | Auburn Hair]
“Do you think you could have told me you did all of this before we signed a lease? What am I supposed to do if you die and the lease isn’t fulfilled yet? So, I guess what I’m saying is, don’t die, ‘kay? It wouldn’t be good for anyone.”
A semblance of normalcy in your otherwise hectic life— with a soap opera addiction and cookie obsession— they’ve been one of the only bright spots you’ve able to look forward to. Especially since they seem to have no idea of who you used to be; small blessings, you suppose. Their horrible puns, sarcastic retorts, and caffeine fueled rants, are something that you’ve cherished greatly.
???? - The Voice [M/F]
“I see everything, dearest one, I promise you salvation if you heed my words. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to protect you. Nothing I wouldn’t do to keep you.”
The voice you’ve been hearing within your head for the last two years. You don’t know where it’s from— or why it appeared— but you get the feeling that there is more to it than you simply hearing things. Visions— or nightmares— coming to you while you sleep adding to that conclusion; a gentle touch turning fiery as you awaken with a gasp. You just don’t know what to do with the burning sensation they awaken within you.
