HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?

[dousing]

WHAT IF THEY HAD LIVED? MEME We're not going to have a ton of prompts today, folks. However, we are going to have this. Say your character or someone close to your character dies in canon. Perhaps they die young, perhaps they're a big damn hero, perhaps they're a slithery villain that SHOULD be dead. What would happen if they didn't? How would the world change? This is your place to explore that kind of AU! Did the death situation never happen? Did they perhaps escape by the skin of their teeth? Did something (or someone) save them? How does the bright and shining (or dark and ominous) future pan out for them? • Top level your character. If you like, you can explain any world changes you might want made. If not, you can hash it out with your future partners. • Reply to other's top levels! • Have fun! Mark any spoilers for anything that's been recently released, please!

Hello there. C'mon, friend, time to wake up.

[Steve will open his eyes to find a man dressed all in archaic black clothing kneeling over him. He's got one glove off and placed on Steve's forehead. The spots his fingers and palm are touching will feel unnaturally warm. For all his imposing clothing style, the Reaper looks quite cheerful and rather relieved.]

There we go. Thought I was going to lose you for a minute.

[Angels don't, as a rule, have an afterlife. When Michael smote her, Anna should have burned away to nothing. But she had been human, once, and somewhere under all that grace there was a scrap of human soul left. With her grace extinguished, that scrap of soul had fled, unnoticed, licking its wounds and hiding in the Anna-shaped memories of her human parents' heaven.]

Re: Joseph Kavinsky ^ The Raven Boys

((Wanna give this a go? Maybe K almost died but didn't, so Proko died for a second there too? Or idk whatever you wanna try out!))

"HUUUUUUUUH!" Kavinsky inhaled, pulling himself from the dreamworld as the creatures of nightmares shrank away. It felt like he was drowning and he'd finally clawed his way back to the surface. "Shit!" He said. Realization throttled him like a fist to the solar plexus. He'd lost. He'd lost and Lynch had fucking won.

Leaving the car with his perfect little brother in the trunk, Kavinsky crawled his way to the car Penko was in. "Fucking go!" Kavinsky shouted, his legs finally working as he tried the handle, then shoved himself through the window instead. "Go go go go go!" He slapped Penko on the side of the head. Was he sleeping? Had he died? It didn't matter, because they had to go!

Prokopenko was bringing the car around just like Kavinsky had asked, watching the firey blaze in front of him. What the hell was that, a dragon? He didn't have time to think about it much longer though, the car skidding sideways as he lost consciousness.

The world swayed hard when he came to, Kavinsky's voice booming in his ear. It was the slap that woke him, he figured, and it was a damn good thing Kavinsky had no qualms about that.

"Fuck," he breathed out, fingers gripping the wheel hard, trying to get his head back in the game. Go. Right. He started driving. "The fuck just happened, K?"

[carcrashes]

The headache was coming on strong and the ley line was took weak for him to tap into. Kavinsky was sure he wouldn't even get a single pill out of his dreams, not that he could even think about going to sleep at the moment.

At least Penko was alive, but part of Kavinsky felt like it was being eaten away by decay. A quick-acting cancer that was taking more of him than he could afford to give. As he curled into the passenger seat, he'd later blame the aftershock of the dream battle on his behavior. But he turned shimmering eyes welling up toward the driver's seat and could only whisper.

"Please. Drive."

[favorite_forgery]

Prokopenko could feel it. That thing that was eating away at Kavinsky was working its way inside of him too, but he knew they had to get out of there. A bad situation was getting worse and whatever was hurting, he wanted to get away from it.

Glancing at Kavinsky only made it worse and he had a feeling that whatever was making Kavinsky curl into himself was the thing making his vision blur.

"I'm trying... I'm fucking trying. Where the hell should I go?" He can't help the panic in his voice. He'll blame that on aftershock later too, he's sure.

[carcrashes]

Goddamn Penko and his inability to form an independent thought. "H-home!" Kavinsky barked. "The mansion you fucking cock gobbler. Get us o the goddamn mansion!"

The energy needed to curse Penko out correctly exhausted Kavinsky, or else he simply blocked out whatever the retort was. Instead, when he managed to raise his head above the dashboard, they were sitting outside his mansion. His mother was somewhere else, but Joseph didn't fucking care at the moment. He really hoped that he'd never have to answer questions about that night to anyone, including his dummy of mother.

"Penko," Joseph said softly, his arm reaching out, fingers gripping greasy, moussed black hair and yanking it toward himself.

Getting them to the mansion is easier said than done, even if it takes every last bit of Kavinsky's energy. He doesn't know how he manages to get all the way over there, but he does, because he has to. Because he knows that if he doesn't, somehow he'll fuck everything up for both of them and Kavinsky is already half way to god knows where.

It wasn't supposed to go down like this. Whatever the fuck happened, it wasn't supposed to be like this. What the hell was Kavinsky doing up there with the fire dragon?

There's no resistance when K pulls him closer, there never is. He holds on to him, insides feeling like fire and everything in his head buzzing abnormally. "Gotta get you inside, ok? Someone's gonna come looking for us."
