Good Things Fall Apart | Chapter 18: Paroxysm

Good Things Fall Apart | Chapter 18: Paroxysm

This is the longest chapter of anything I’ve ever written oops! But it’s also been a month between updates so I think technically it all evens out <3

excerpt;

There’s a sense of reversal as Victor recalls a moment they’d had on this very beach, of Benji reminding him it’s okay to look if he wants to. Victor takes a step toward him and reaches out a hand. Benji eyes it, wary, then allows Victor to pull him close. He takes Benji in his arms again, pressing their bare torsos together.

Victor takes a shuddering breath, Benji’s skin already cold from the air conditioning. Benji laughs, still shivering slightly, and then they both go quiet. There’s a profoundness in this, a pendulum that swings between innocence and something yet to be explored. All that sits between their two kindred cores is a layer of skin, some muscle, some bone. Victor thinks that he would be okay if Benji reached into his chest and clutched his heart in his hand—he would welcome it, even wishes for it. But Benji has already in some ways, hasn’t he? Since the moment their lips touched on a bench outside of Creekwood High, Benji has held Victor’s heart like a small, wounded animal in cupped hands.

Jill Valentine - 31 MAR 2021

A spontaneous idea for a redesign for Jill. A more fit physique than was in the games and reimagining how she could have looked like during RE1 Spencer Mansion Incident as a Special Task force member.

Inspired by and heavily referenced after S.W.A.T. tv series still , with Jill’s classical look elements.

don’t ask me why I gave her two radios (?) I was throwing a bunch of stuff together

if we make it through december | a Venji Bakery AU

summary: Benji’s heart is still broken, and his bakery is limping through the holiday season, not certain to see the new year. Victor’s got his sights set on a promotion at work until Benji catches his eye and makes him consider loosening up, just a little. Just enough. Awkward flirting, pining, and baking ensue. word count: 16,342 excerpt:

“Well, have fun tonight,” Benji says once the transaction has gone through.

“What? Oh, right, the party. Whoo!” Victor says, and Benji can’t tell if he’s being sardonic or badly forcing enthusiasm. “Yeah, can’t…can’t wait.”

There’s a pause during which the two men just look at each other, similar to the pause that occurred the day previous.

“Um. Yeah. Thanks again. See you around,” Victor blurts, and then he practically runs out the door. The sound of the door chime has never been so sad.
