I live! Sorry I'm not absolutely on top of my upload schedule, I had to comb through a lot of great ideas for some new characters and stories! I promise that the wait will be worth it though :))
Here's the first part of a drabble I have going based on Good Mod Addict's Permission request! Fluff first, fun later ;D
Yinz'r stepped from the RC kitchen into the main room, where his partner was sobbing uncontrollably into her gas mask. The Dragonborn's heart was unable to withstand the piteous cries of one so dear to him (for she had valiantly saved his life on more occasions than he could count), and so his muscles rippled, propelling his scaled form forward with the full intent of saving Beksis from whatever was troubling her.
"What's wrong?"
"Not much," the Fallen replied. "I was just sad about the fact that my society collapsed because we kept pissing off the people given superpowers by a magic golf ball"
"What's a golf ball?" Yinz'r asked. "Can it be used as an implement of destruction?"
Beksis considered the question for a moment. "Yeah but that isn't the point," she said.
"Well if we want to talk about angst, I decided to become immortal because I am a power-hungry maniac but I'm a prophesied hero so literally nobody can judge me." Yinz'r grinned vampirically.
"That is the complete opposite of helpful considering my experience with incredibly powerful beings," Beksis pointed out. "Could you at least pretend to try to cheer me up instead of making things worse?"
"Maybe" Yinz'r said, reaching out to caress his co-worker's chitinous face with a tender claw. Beksis looked upl at him, her face flushed from both tears and the unexpected companionship. His eyes glowed not only with the hunger of his ever-present thirst, but with a warmth born of friendship and understanding "Your past is gone. You ran away from it. What matters now is where you are, and what you do now that you've escaped. The friends you make, the worlds we save, and the crap pay we get from the Flowers."
"Oh, Yinz'r," Beksis breathed, a wisp of Ether crystallizing in the air between them, "You always know just what to say. Thank you for reminding me of my purpose!" Yinz'r smiled again.
"Anytime. After all, we both have forever to live… until Bungie decides to actually define your average lifespan."
