Whispers in the dark

Darkness Loves Light
No matter how the darkness looms around you - how much you've become the darkness - there's one bright spot in your life - a person who makes everything worthwhile.

It doesn't really matter how they came to you. What does is that they stay. Whether you admit it or not, you seek comfort from them...and, perhaps, them from you, if you're in the same situation.

So, whether you push them away, treat them right, or go so far as to worship them and put them on a pedestal, you don't want them to go now. You crave being with them, or at least being in their presence. Don't ruin this for yourself. After all, what would you do without your little ray of light? You'll do anything to keep them happy and loved. Anything.

  • Respond to the meme with your character, canon, preferences, and, if you'd like, what position you're character will be in.
  • Respond to others.


  • prompts

  • light || the pure is affecting the impure in a positive way.

  • dark || the impure is affecting the pure in a negative way.

  • purposeful || you want to corrupt something so pure.

  • forgive || they know what you've done and they've forgiven you.

  • death || something comes up from the dark past and strikes out at the one loved the most. they know it would hurt you to see them in pain - or worse.

  • life || the smut option. will there be hesitance in "defiling" purity?

  • cheer || never again did you think that there would be simple joys. picnics, birthdays, gentle holding of hands.

  • confessions || you have to get them into your life; they're the only good thing you can see.

  • teach || one party is teaching the other about more worldly pursuits, may or may not be sexual. perhaps they feel guilty for this, perhaps they don't.

  • end || you can't do this to them anymore. they deserve so much better than you.

[ ooc: lbr, Gojo thinks he's the ray of light in everyone's world, but I am open to him being that darkness too! ]

[ In the prison realm, there's nothing but skeletons to keep the strongest company, good for nothing assortments of bones which can neither sing nor dance, nor tell the time. Somewhere in the click-clack rattle rattle of old bone, rings a silvery laugh, then footsteps crushing Gojo's companions under the sole of their boots.

A cheerful foxy smile comes into view, a slender finger peeling the other man's blindfold up. ]


I leave and look at the mess you get yourself into.

[ How long had it been? Time ebbed and flowed like the moonlight tide, coming and going and always leaving him behind. Once, playing pantomime with skulls and bones became too droll to continue, Gojo sat in quiet contemplation. Mind you, being left alone with his own thoughts was never a desired outcome. His grey matter had a habit of ambling through the rafters, wiping the dust from old, locked-away memories that were too painful or unsettling to remember.

That was exactly what he thought was occurring just now.

Having dropped his guard, taking a moment to truly be at rest, in letting both infinity and limitless drop, gaining some respite from constantly using the techniques, but his Sixeyes still picked up on Geto before the other made his presence known.

Staring with those otherworldly Lapis lazuli eyes of his, the iris practically shimmering as it reflected light from an unknown source within him. ]


... For the record, I didn't kill these guys, but maaan, can you imagine if I had? Hoo~ what a fight that would have been, and in such a cramped space too, am I right?

[ Smiling up at them, even if there was a little sadness clouding the darkness of his pupils. He couldn't help it, he glanced at Geto's forehead just to be sure it was actually him. ]

You here to save me, Suguru? ... Or put me out of my misery...
torridcompanion: (it is what it is)

[personal profile] torridcompanion 2025-10-29 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Since when have I been in a place to do either for you, hm?

[ Pushing the black bandage farther up, trapping those tufts of fluffy white hair beneath it, Geto takes his time trailing his fingertips down the side of his old friend's cheek before cupping the pretty face in his palms. Just holding the face he used to know better than his own and studying it, gaze tender and unguarded for once. ]

I'm glad you didn't kill them. I'd be forever cross for missing that fight. You are a sight to behold when you just let loose after all.

I dunno. Suguru, I think there was a time or at least a moment when you might have been able to change it all...

[ Letting his head tip back a little as that bandage was pushed further up his forehead. The soft spikes of his hair sticking up and held in place as he smiled tenderly back up at Geto. His hands upon his cheeks felt real warm even, and though he knew it couldn't be so, though he knew the man before him was technically gone, he wanted to believe sobadly that he was here with him now, trapped, surrounded in nothing but death and darkness. ]

Oh yeah? You watch me often do you? I believe it... I've felt you there before even though I knew it wasn't possible. Sometimes I wonder if you cursed me... 'Cause no matter where I am, what I've done you're always there, in the back of my mind, in the corner of my eye... In my thoughts and in my dreams.

[ Never once did he take his eyes from the other, even as he tipped his head to rest his cheek a little further into one of Geto's hands. ]

... Even now, as I'm finally beat, there you are. Ah, but at least I won't be alone in the end, you've come to take me home huh, Suguru?

(Light/Dark)

He knew, from the moment he saw her across the common room of a worn-down inn, that there was something different about this one. Something pure. Something that demanded study.

So he did.

For three days and three nights he followed her party, observing. Hoping. For what - he could not articulate. For an opportunity, perhaps.

And as it happened, fate smiled on him. On the fourth day, a bandit attack - but no ordinary bandits. Assassins, targeting Nepione for reasons unknown.

He told himself that it was pure curiosity.

That he shouldn't get involved.

And yet before he realized what he'd done, the assassins were dead, drowned by his water magic. As Nepione turned to face him, he stood there, paralyzed, blank white mask revealing none of the sheer panic coursing through his veins.

(Protaeon, water genasi wizard. Keeps his face and skin hidden to pass as a 'pure' human and avoid discrimination, also to conceal his emotions.)

[OOC Elevator pitch: The latest reincarnation of a phoenix. Angry, intense, mercurial, perpetually a few genuine gentle touches away from a sobbing meltdown. Backstory contains a lot of content warnings. More info here.

OTA for smutty, m/m for shippy, canon or OCs welcome, assumed CR is fine, misfires welcome, 18+ required, 21+ preferred.

Phoenix is less "dark" seeking "light," than "chaotic, unbalanced, and too much" seeking "stable, understimulated, and never been enough."]
