He didn't plan it to turn out this way. He didn't plan for any of this at all. But it was the heat of the moment and he had to do something. He hadn't participated in the battle with the intention to die. He couldn't help that it did, either. But Theodore knew he did, because he was standing over his own body.

The next few moments went by quickly. It didn't occur to him that he should've done something. He was supposed to allow himself to move on. But he didn't. He couldn't bring himself to leave. He had to make sure that everyone was alright. That everyone was safe. Even though no one could hear him, despite the fact he was so sure he was screaming.

And then it was over. The fighting stopped and bodies were being collected. Some were mourned. Some weren't even recognised. All Theodore could do was stand there in the midst of it and do nothing.

_{[How did this happen? Dirk doesn't know, but hey, he's just a kid. All he knows is that his family has grown from just being Bro and Dave to so many more people.

And it's really nice.

Even if it's different because there are people everywhere always, omg.]

Characters: Dumbledore and Kankri
Type: log
Open or Closed: Closed
Summary: Kankri wakes up in the hospital wing after his inconvenient discorporation to find the headmaster waiting for him to wake up.

The first thing that Kankri noticed was that he felt inexplicably lighter. The second thing that he noticed was that he felt inexplicably cold. He opened his eyes and found himself, yes, in the hospital wing. He didn't remember being there. He didn't remember much of anything, really, everything was foggy and floated just out of grasp.

He went stiff when he lifted a hand to run it through his hair, and saw...well, saw right through it. His hand was silvery blue and transparent. His. Hand. Was. Transparent.

Immediately, he sat bolt upright, a sickly cold feeling of panic settling in his gut. What was going on?

It was just a bit of harmless fun

....that's what it was supposed to be, at least. There was nothing out of the ordinary; it was a duelling club meeting. It was always fun. The DaDa professor who sponsored the club always insisted on proper form during the duels, and Theodore enjoyed that aspect as much as he did the actual duelling part. He learnt a lot, and that was important. There really wasn't a necessity to know these things at the time, but one never knew when it would come in handy!

But most importantly, it was fun.

Theodore loved participating and today wasn't exception. He thought nothing of it when the professor chose him and Kankri Vantas to participate in a friendly duel. Nevermind that there was a small age gap which meant Theodore had bit more practical knowledge. Or the fact that they'd recently had one of their heated discussions. That didn't matter, because this was nothing but what it was intended to be: a friendly duel.

[Sal can't remember a harder week than the one he'd been having. The duel, his brother's condition, missing classes and meals, classmates coming to see how Kankri was doing, everything was one long blur. He vaguely remembered Dumbledore dropping by to offer him a pat on the shoulder and a chocolate frog, which was now sitting on Kankri's bedside table. Sal figured he'd want a snack when he woke up.

He'd barely moved from the side of the bed since it happened. Even with Art and Di coming in to visit and try to drag him away to at least eat he'd waved them off and said he was fine ad not hungry. He wanted to be there when his twin woke up.

Kankri would do the same for him.]

Post 2WW: Strider feels time.

The past...however long it had been was a giant blur for Dirk. He remembered every detail--he was the most consistently sober Strider as of late--but because it was all the same routine, his concept of how long it'd gone on. It had first started with trying to contact Dave. Worrying about Dave. That worry spread to include Bro as well, when he finally cut off contact with Dirk. He'd tried to see both of them, but elusiveness was a genetic trait and there was no way Dirk could actually get in touch with them directly unless they allowed it.

It really sucked. Dirk wasn't used to being the strongest out of the trio. He was the youngest, so even when he was perfectly capable of taking care of himself, Bro and Dave were always out there looking out for him. It was his turn to do it and they weren't letting him. That changed when Bro's landlord contacted him about Bro not paying his bills. Dirk had immediately taken a cut from his inheritance to pay off Bro's outstanding debt and insisted that Bro move in with him.

Seeing Bro in the state he was in was down right depressing, so Dirk did everything he could to help Bro. Plenty of arguments ensued due to Dirk insisting that he stop drinking. Coaxing Bro into sobriety was stressful and mostly impossible. But it'd gotten better. Sometimes he woke up with Bro passed out on his bed and smarting a hangover, but Dirk was able to see some normalcy in Bro again. He certainly looked healthier, and Dirk liked to think it was because he was in the habit of cooking legit meals now and making sure Bro ate.

He wasn't sure how long this would remain, though. After completing his film and sending a copy to Dave, the middle Strider finally agreed to see him. He'd seen Dave. Emotional broments were had. Then Dirk accio'd all of his liquor and poured it down the drain. It was definitely more progress than he'd ever hoped to make with Dave, although finding out just exactly how he'd been living had been more than disconcerting.

And Dave was supposed to come over today. In the long run, it'd be good for both Bro and Dave to see each other again. Dirk was still worried, though. The immediate affects of this meeting could go one of several ways, and he wasn't sure if any of them would be ones he could manage. As far as he was concerned, both were still in extremely fragile states. If either or both of them chose now to relapse, Dirk didn't know if he'd have the strength to be able to pick up the pieces again.

Dave was due at any time now, and Dirk still needed to make sure Bro got up and at least made himself presentable. He'd spent the morning making sure at least the living room and kitchen looked decent. He also made a ton of mini sandwiches to shove at Dave once he got here. Sighing, Dirk mentally prepared himself for a stupid battle he hoped wouldn't happen. "Hey Uncle Dirk," he said, shaking Bro's shoulder lightly. "Get up and take a shower. You're ruining my fuckin' feng shui." If Bro didn't remember that Dave was supposed to come over today, Dirk would tell him after he bullied Bro out of bed and whatnot.

Summary: Dave Strider is a pioneer of wizard cinema and by now a famous director. Minister Scrimgeour was just forced out of office, and the Ministry under Pius Thicknesse just commissioned a series of films from Dave. Anti-muggle propaganda. In exchange for his cooperation, Dave got a guarantee from the Minister himself that Bro and Dirk Strider would pass under the radar of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission. It was an offer that Dave - who had begun to feel guilty about being safe, as a halfblood, since the Commission was founded - couldn't refuse.

The posters for the first of the films, titled Magical Superiority is the Guarantee of Victory and just about as overbearingly propagandistic as the title implies, have started to crop up all over Wizarding London.

Which is the first that Dave's cousin has heard of this project.

Torturing Toros

Summary: Murdeeeeeeer

Today was a special day.

In all of the worst ways possible. It was Karkat Vantas's 17th birthday, and that meant the tradition had to be continued or else there would be hell to pay. Galen hadn't been Karkat's mentor for too long, but that meant nothing. He either had to go through with the task Galen was about to lay out for him, or he would be killed. That was the way it had been for Galen, and that was the way it was going to be for Karkat.

Galen didn't exactly have a home, but he'd... liberated one, from a muggle, and sent Karkat a message with the address telling him to get there immediately, or else there would be consequences. He'd given Karkat no more to go on, but he'd mentioned this tradition to him in the past, and if Karkat was smart he'd know exactly what he had to do.

When Karkat came through the door, all Galen said was, "In the basement," and pointed to the door that lead to the stairway. He could figure it out from there, Galen wasn't going to spell it out for him. And Galen had been kind, he'd already supplied Karkat with his first victim, who was currently bound and gagged in the middle of the basement. Vader hadn't been so kind to him, he had to track down his; but Karkat wasn't Galen, and Galen didn't have the patience for that. No, it was better to get it over with soon, and Karkat wasn't nearly skilled enough at tracking like Galen was. He hadn't been raised from a baby, after all.

Galen had also been smart with his selection, and in a way it was something of a 'gift' to Karkat. He knew the two of them had bad blood between them, and so what better birthday present than giving him someone he hated? Galen's had been a blood traitor and he'd had no personal ties to him. Karkat's target, on the other hand was quite the opposite.
