rootsofthestories

Name: Sebastian
Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors: Flint: Valentine's Day Pink: 1. Red
Fog Grey: 3. flash of lightning
Supplies and Styles: N/A
Word Count: ~1,250
Warnings: anxiety, electrocution, flashbacks.
Summary: Cillian is still adjusting to being in a safe place.
Notes I need to do some more work with the group that had raised Cillian. He was bread in captivity, meant to be an all purpose weapon and did not actually work as that. Instead, he learns how to break all kinds of magical and non-magical locks, wards, shields and all that stuff. He's very good at it actually, it's just that Carlene does not put him to work that way. Instead she cuddles him and makes him feel better when things like storms and flashbacks happen.

Name: August
Title: no place to call home anymore
Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors: Darling Grey #10, "I was counting my losses, wasn’t sure if I should count you"; Halloween Orange #12, "Some little things get broken, and a little means a lot".
Supplies and Styles: N/A
Word Count: 526
Rating: PG
Warnings: Very roundaboutly refers to the aftermath of torture and horrible things, but doesn't go into details. (It's the angel trio, if you've read

thebonesofferalletters' works in this verse.)
Notes: Not a warning but this is, uh. Not a happy story and not a... fair... one? In a lot of ways, to any of the three of them? Basically this is Bobby having a really bad day. I guess caregiver burnout is the best words I've got for it.

( In which there is really unhappy nostalgia. )

Name: Sebastian
Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors: Spring Green: 18. you're all the world to me
Supplies and Styles: None
Word Count: 616
Warnings: Nothing
Summary: Oliver just really loves his wife, okay?
Notes Oliver and his wife (who does not have a name yet) are another City pair. He's a low-level government official who just kind of wants to make change happen and also happens to be the kind of angel that believes in spreading information as widely as he can. His wife is a witch, who not only explained to him what he was but is also just a wonderful person. She is kind of one of my favrites but that may be Ollie having a huge bias towards her.
Also hey, I finished Spring Green!

Supplies and Styles: None
Word Count: ~260
Warnings: Nothing in this one.
Summary: The angels still know how to dance.
Notes It's Bobby, Shaun and Hel post everything. It's vague but it's definitely about those three and frankly, I'm just excited I wrote something tonight.

( There's a building in Brooklyn that some angels like to dance in. )

Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors: Avocado:
13) This city desert makes you feel so cold / It's got so many people but it's got no soul
/ And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong / When you thought it held everything- Gerry Rafferty: Baker Street
Supplies and Styles: seed beads, paint-by-numbers,
Word Count: ~650
Warnings: None
Summary: She's not ready to go home.
Notes: New girls from Cityverse! I've ben meaning to write about the club kids but kind of forget they are a thing sometimes. The initial setup of this universe is very different than what it is now and honestly, there are so many people populating it that I forget who belongs here sometimes.

Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors: Code Brown: 11. And I love this job, but sometimes I hate this business

Spilt Ink: 8. Being enlightened doesn't mean being happy. It means you're ok even when things aren't.
Supplies: graffiti (Lilith Faire Main Stage)
Word Count: 945
Rating: PG
Warnings: Death of a spouse/loved one. Grief and all the stuff that comes with it.
Notes: I did not mean to end today on a sad note but this came into my head and I wanted to put it down. Amusingly enough, the stories this round came out in a linear fashion which is kind of cool.
Also, I knocked out TWO colors with this! Code Brown and Rose Pink.

Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors: Spilt Ink: 21. Just pretend you're in a movie. Be as brave and as full of love as the main character. Because we all need to believe in movies, sometimes.
Supplies: graffiti (Lilith Faire Village Stage)
Word Count: 331
Rating: PG
Warnings: Brief mention of medical intrusion
Notes: And the last one is a mid point between the first two stories. This works for me. I like things being in a vague order.

Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors: Code Brown: 8. I don't need to be good, I'm just trying to stay blameless
Supplies: graffiti (Lilith Faire Second Stage)
Word Count: 264
Rating: PG
Warnings: Nothing really!
Notes: Later int he timeline of the universe. She's getting past her shit and not letting anyone tell her who she is. I love Hel, she grows a lot from pre-Labs to post. She's screwed up, yes, but she learns to not let it define her.

Title: you are the world (and I bow down to you)
Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors:Rose Pink: 4. want to go out?
Code Brown: 7. If you're asking, I can't say no

Warnings: Nothing really.

Notes: So, I've been meaning to write about Cillian and Charlene ever since the last RP happened. I love them so much and they are darling. They are in a quasi-Owner/pet relationship except that he is...actually a dog. Well, Cu Sidhe but he was raised a not very kind manner that warped him and his views on himself pretty badly. She is helping him patch himself together and it's all very happymaking.

Title: games you shouldn't play (never as simple as you think)
Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors: Code brown: children aren't as simple s we'd like to think
Supplies: N/A
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Threatening children? Not threatened children but the kind of kids who will fuck you up.
Word count; 354
Notes: So, the organization that broke Shaun and Hel also collects children and messes with them. Sometimes they take them when they're young and sometimes they force people to breed so they might have the offspring to manipulate. This s, essentially, a poem for some of the kids, both meant to be towards the people who captured them and anyone they are sent out to hurt.

rootsofthestories

Name: Sebastian
Title: blood ringing in your ears
Story: This City's Got Grace
Colors: Code brown: I kept hoping some ghost of me would be here still.
Supplies: N/A
Rating: R
Warnings: Uhm...A lot. Lots of intimate violence, weird consent issues, bad ways of dealing with trauma, self harm in a couple of different ways. This is not a happy fic, guys.
Word count; 1488
Notes: The angels in this universe are not all this fucked up, I swear. Shaun and Hel went through a really shitty experience and trying to cope with that is hard. Also, angels heal differently in this verse, so he does get fixed up pretty easily. A few days rest is about all he needs from this encounter.

balsamandash I am almost dead sure this is their fault and I'm not entirely sure why but...It is. Also, no really, City's got so many different parts to it, I need o make a...map? Road map? Something, for it.

Warnings: Self..hatred? Something like that..

Notes: Oh boy, this is technically a very old universe that I've been working on for about four years but I am revamping and putting a fresh coat of paint on it, so we'll see how that goes. I'm folding in and unfolding a few other verses within it, so we will see how this works out
