Confusion
@really-awkward-pics-of-joan
Based on this prompt about Virgil falling asleep in Janus’s lap and him crying because they haven’t been this close in years.
Virgil feels himself start to nod off, Janus had picked out the movie they were watching, and Virgil had seen it enough times already to not feel too determined to stay awake. It had been a few days since he had gotten a good night’s sleep, so a nap was sounding really great right then. He absentmindedly lays his head down in Janus’s lap, like he’d done a million times before, during a million other movie nights just like this one.But this time was different. Virgil hadn’t done this in years.
This wasn’t even their first movie night of the week, but it was the first one that Virgil had initiated himself. He didn’t know what had possessed him to do so, he just felt like he and the snake should watch a movie. He even let the reptilian trait pick the movie.
Virgil’s head lands in the scaled side’s lap and he instantly falls asleep. The familiar safety doing its job of making him relax just the same way it always used to.
Janus barely managed to muffle his gasp of surprise as the smaller side’s soft snores start up. Virgil. Virgil was asleep in his lap, Virgil had just curled up in his lap to sleep.
Janus lifts a shaky, tentative hand towards the smaller side, he gently and quietly starts stroking the emo’s hair. Virgil makes a soft noise of content and Janus is done for, hot tears start spilling down his cheeks.
Patton walks by on his way to the kitchen then, he pauses when he sees Janus crying on the couch. His brow furrows in concern, “Jan?” he asks softly.
The scaled side’s head snaps, “Shhh…” he hisses harshly.
Patton cocks his head to the side in confusion, Janus gives him a shaky smile and points at the sleeping side in his lap.
Patton’s eyes widen and he gives Janus a smile and a nod, he remembers the first time Virgil had fallen asleep on him, and he knew this was probably somewhat similar to that. He drapes a blanket over the sleeping side. He gives Janus one last look, before grabbing a snack and heading back to his room.
The room is enveloped in silence once again, Janus’s crying muffled by the hand not occupied by the constant stroking of Virgil’s hair.
A single tear falls from the snake’s face and he fails to catch it before it hits the sleeping traits face. Virgil’s eyes snap open.
He looks around quizzically. His face turns from confused to concerned when he sees the tears on Janus’s face. “Jay? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” His voice is soft with sleep and laced with worry.
Janus stiffens for a second before reaching out to pat the side’s hand, he smiles warmly, “Nothing’s wrong, darling. Go back to sleep.”
Virgil sits up, eyeshadow darkening, “Did I do something wrong?”
Janus makes a noise in the back of his throat, “No. No, darling. This isn’t your fault. Everything’s alright, I promise. Now, why don’t you go back to sleep?” He lifts a scaled hand to cup Virgil’s face, “You look so tired, my little shadow.”
Virgil leans into the touch, a small sigh escaping him, “I still want to know why you’re crying,” he hums.
Janus gingerly pulls the other side into a hug, Virgil relaxes into the embrace, resting his head on the snake’s shoulder, “I just missed you…so much.” Janus whispers.
Virgil wraps his arms around Janus, “I missed you too,” he hums sleepily.
Janus chuckles fondly when he feels the smaller trait fall back into a deep sleep, apparently satisfied that everything was okay.

I have to agree. Ouch.
From this
Notes: I thought about a happy ending...if you guys ask for it, maybe I'll write it.
Ships: Familial Anxceit, platonic Dukeceit (briefly mentioned)
"Sing to me," Anxiety said as he flapped his hoodie sleeves, plopping down on Deceit's bed across from the older side.
"Of course." Deceit smiled and Anxiety laid down, his head on the other's lap. He was only 7 at the time, while Deceit was 18.
-
Anxiety sighed heavily, knocking on Deceit's door.
"Dee?"
"Definitely don't come in." Anxiety smiled slightly, but it faded quickly. He opened the door, stepping inside and shutting it behind him. Deceit lounged in his bed in silk pajamas, black with yellow trim. "What can I-"
"Sing to me?" Anxiety blurted, his cheeks going red when he realized he interrupted Deceit. The 16 year old toed at the floor, glancing away.
Deceit cocked his head, smiling softly.
"Of course, Anx."
-
"Dee," Anxiety clung to Deceit, suddenly feeling small despite being an adult, "Dee, they- they hate me- I-"
"Anx," Deceit ran his hand through Anxiety's hair like he had a million times before, soft and understanding and everything he needed right now, "calm down. Maybe they do, but I don't. Remus doesn't either. Alright?"
"...alright," Anxiety agreed, taking a deep breath, "sing to me?" Deceit smiled, blissfully unaware of the fact that this would be the last time he'd be asked to do this.
"Of course."
-
Deceit fixed his hat, bracing himself before stepping into the room.
"Hello Anxiety."
"Virgil, actually."
Oh.
"Ah. You told them your name before me?" He asked, a bit of his hurt seeping into his tone.
"Duh." Virgil looked annoyed with him- no, more than that. He looked angry, like he wanted him gone. Deceit knew their fight was bad, and that he'd...left them, but... "Do you want something or could you do me a favor and leave?"
Deceit blinked, heart aching.
"...of course."

i… have nothing for this…
A lil Patton to brighten your day? o///o💖
No reposting my art.
Happy Halloween! Here have Janus as a naga!
thinking about Patton and how he said “I Am the Walrus” when asked to name a song title that represents how he feels, which is funny and all, but could also be a diversion because he doesn’t actually want to answer the question and say how he feels
Marks and Rec: Misc #2175
(Happy Halloween!) (Dialogue is just made up by me, lol.)
I may have imagined Janus in a Dr Facilier costume...
*Thinks back to every “Friends on the Other Side” Animatic I’ve ever seen*
You might have a point. o///o

Day 14 - The first words you hear your soulmate speak are written on you.
Content warning: character with vitiligo, implied rudeness towards vitiligo, Remus being Remus (in a way that could be categorized as intentions for animal abuse?? But not really. It’s not malicious in any way.)
Word count: 1.4k
What’s that on your face?
Every day he was greeted in the mirror by the same, harsh words, etched into his collarbone in startling black ink. He’d heard many variations of the question before in his life, people with too much curiosity and too little impulse control, blurting out questions about his skin before he even properly introduced himself. At this point, he’d memorized the spiel: It’s called vitiligo and yes, I was born this way. No, it doesn’t hurt. No, it’s not contagious. No, it’s not because my parents were different races. That last one still made him laugh sometimes. But, better to laugh at the absurdity than bang his head against a wall in frustration, he supposed.

I’m very aware it’s October. But I will get all these prompts done!

Day 23 - At a certain age you switch bodies with your soulmate for 24 hours. (I may have changed this one slightly, too.)
Content warnings: kidnapping mention, food/coffee mentions, homophobia mentions (though none is really seen), just so much caffeine.
The first thing Janus noticed when he woke up was that this was wrong. Very, very wrong.
Which, to be fair, was an accurate reaction, seeing as he was in the wrong room.
His initial thought was that he’d been kidnapped, but no, that couldn’t be right. It was just another bedroom, not a basement or a van or whatever kidnappers used. It was a regular, teenage looking bedroom, with clothes littering the floor and the desk, large posters haphazardly stuck at every angle on the wall, and a phone charging on the nightstand next to him. So, definitely not a kidnapping.

Day 27 - Your eyes match your soulmate’s hair color. If they dye their hair, your eyes change colors.
TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!!! Attempted rape (by unnamed OC), drugging, implied underage drinking (though none is actually seen), emetophobia/vomiting, Halloween, alcohol, characters being tipsy/drunk, parties. Happy/satisfying ending.

Logan lived his life based on routine. In a world of constant change, it felt comforting to always know what his next step was. His mornings always started the same; wake up at seven o’clock sharp, sneak to the dorm bathroom in an attempt to not wake his essentially nocturnal roommate, and brush his teeth. Wet the toothbrush, pea sized amount of toothpaste, wet the brush again, and start on the left side of his mouth. Brush for exactly two minutes, wash face, and then attempt to calm down the bedhead. He’d sneak back into the room, change silently, and then make his way to the shared kitchen to make cereal for breakfast. The only variable in his routine was which fruit he’d eat along with his Cheerios. Then he’d triple check that all of his homework was packed properly, and head off to his morning class.
Except today.

Day 22: When you close your eyes, you can see what your soulmate sees.
Content warnings: Sleep deprivation/what could be considered insomnia, food mentions, energy drinks, parental abuse, drunk abuse, mentioned anxiety attack, physical altercation, dissociating, school security, maybe PTSD?

For as long as Remus could remember, he’d hated sleeping.
At some points it got so bad he couldn’t function. Falling asleep at the breakfast table before violently jolting awake, asking his mother or teacher to repeat things four or five times until it finally clicked that they were asking if he was okay, staring off into space for what felt like a couple minutes, only to learn that it was several hours later and he’d missed dinner. Roman had gotten used to his twin’s habit of losing sleep, and although it never ceased to worry him, it became more of a given thing that if Remus forgot to do his chores, it was (most of the time) an accident. He’d walk into their shared room and snap his fingers in his face a few times, ask if he wanted dinner until Remus finally understood, and then help him stumble downstairs.

Day 10: You are born with a birthmark, similar to a tattoo, that is shared by your soulmate.
Content warnings: allusions to past suicidal thoughts, just bad mental health past in general, vague bullying, swimming pools, past isolation, minor injury (broken ribs), general anxiety and self deprecation.

Part 3 is here, with a little added something thrown in! Hope you enjoy!
@tsshipmonth2020
Day 19 - Everyone is born with a compass on their wrist, the needle of the compass points towards your soulmate.
Trigger/content warnings!! Dissociation, PTSD, talk of conversion therapy and aftereffects/internalized homophobia, food mentions, nausea, anxiety/panic attack, unintentionally skipping meals, emetophobia/vomiting, pulling hair (does that count as self harm?).
Word count: 5k
He barely remembered the hospital. It was all just a blur of doctors and police officers and more sleep than he’d gotten in weeks. After the first night of twitching in the dark confines of his hospital room and waking up screaming from nightmares the few brief seconds his consciousness faded, he was given sleeping pills, and the rest of the visit was quickly forgotten. The clearest part of the two week stay was near the end, when he was deemed physically well enough to give a statement to his social worker and a policeman, describing his ‘therapy’ and his life at the foster home, which quickly dissolved into a panic attack. They had enough though, and he was left with a sick satisfaction that they weren’t getting away with what they’d done to him.

Heeey, look at that, I’m behind! Day 16: When your soulmate listens to music, you hear it in your own head as well.
Content warnings: assumed death of a soulmate (he’s not dead), depression, general sad vibes.
Word count: 2.6k
Note: the songs referenced in this fic are IDK You Yet by Alexander 23 and Love is Gone by SLANDER. Both of these songs make me cry and were the inspiration for this.
It was at midnight on December 19th when Roman’s soulmark first appeared. He didn’t realize this until 1am.
Granted, he didn’t know it was his soulmark for the first hour.
At first, the almost imperceptible steady beat in his head just seemed like a song that had gotten stuck in there. He didn’t remember ever hearing the song, but it wasn’t unlikely that he’d heard the tune at the store or on the radio and it unconsciously ingrained itself into his memory. He was working on an assignment that was due in the morning, a script analysis for one of his Theatre courses, and had begun to bop his head along to the music when his roommate walked in, eyes bleary and arms laden with books.

Like In Fairytales of Old for the fake title thing?
Virgil is a modern kind of witch. He doesn’t turn people into frogs, he doesn’t spend hours toiling over a bubbling cauldron, and anyone coming to him for a love spell gets not-so-politely shown the door. He also doesn’t much believe in fate, so for the most part, he ignores the fact that his grandma thinks it’s his destiny to “break the sleeping prince’s curse.” Whatever that’s supposed to mean.
But one night, he’s out in the woods, looking for elixir ingredients, and he stumbles on a clearing that reeks of old magic. In the middle of it, there’s a man sleeping, rooted to the ground by flowering vines that cover him. Some of them even seem to puncture his skin, and for a moment, Virgil is positive that the man is dead.
But his chest rises and falls. So Virgil approaches, and the moment he works up the nerve to actually touch the guy, the vines disappear, his wounds close, and his eyes snap open.
The man’s name is Logan. And evidently, he’s a prince from a different world. A different world that literally seems like it comes out of a fairy tale, because apparently that’s a thing.
Virgil takes him home, because what else is he supposed to do? He intends to set the man up with some kind of life and then send him on his way, but he finds himself getting attached way too quickly, and Logan doesn’t seem particularly inclined to leave him either. He’s so curious about how this world works, and maybe Virgil should find it annoying, but really, it’s just endearing, his thirst for knowledge.
They’re inching their way toward... something, when shit hits the fan; apparently, breaking the curse has set events in motion, and now, people from Logan’s world are crossing over into this one, looking for him, and not all of them are friendly.
Logan’s really smart, but he’s also one of the biggest idiots Virgil has ever met when it comes to his own safety. He’s going to have his work cut out for him if he wants to keep him alive. And maybe kiss him sometime. That’d be nice too.
100 percent is Virgil Thackery Binx.
