Remember Me

“Billy?” You murmured one night, curled up against him, warm and drowsy, watching him in the dim lightning of the room through sleepy eyes.
“Hmm?” He hummed, letting you know he was listening, as he turned the page in his book. He liked to read before bed.
The night before he’d read a bit of The Song of Achilles to you.
“Will you remember me, like Achilles promised to remember Patroclus?” It was a foolish thing to ask of him, but you were so in love and enamored with him.
He sat his book down on his chest, watching you, the light casting harsh shadows across his face, and he was silent for a long moment before speaking; “Will you remember me?” He asked, reaching over and touching your face.
It was these sweet moments at night you desperately cherished.
“Forever.” You said, earnestly.
Billy’s fingers touched your lip, “I’ll remember you.”
His heart ached at the thought of you dying. As though a part of him had died, too.
He would protect you, he swore, if only for his own selfish desires.
Y/N: You’re a lying, cheating piece of shit!
Billy: Oh, yeah? You’re the idiot who thinks you can get away with everything! WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!
Y/N: I’m leaving you, AND I’M TAKING FRANK WITH ME!
Frank, picking up the monopoly board: I think we should stop playing now.
Are you perpetually busy? Never have any spoons? This might be the post for you. Note that not everything here may be considered low energy or low effort to everyone, and that's okay :)
Carry a crystal around based on what you need. I have a black tourmaline bracelet that absorbs negative vibes throughout the day. I stick it on a selenite slab when I get home to cleanse overnight, then rinse and repeat in the morning.
Put a bay leaf in your wallet to attract money. If you have time, draw a sigil or a $/£/€ on it.
Dedicate anything you drink to your deities if you have any. I dedicate water and black tea to everyone and my favourite raspberry tea to Hathor. Coffee is for Caim.
Enchant your pill case so you remember to take them on time. Enchant your pills to work efficiently. ("Anxiety begone. Ye be banished" on all of my anxiety pills ✌️)
Draw a sigil on your body wash bottle to remove bad vibes or carve a sigil in a bar of soap.
Enchant your moisturizer to repel the evil eye. I fucking love this one.
Incorporate colour magic into the socks you wear (Goths who wear hot pink socks, I'm looking at you).
Enchant your charger so it doesn't break and so you don't lose it. Enchant your phone too while you're at it.
Sorry, I love enchantments--
Uhhhhh
Match those big ol jar candles to different intentions. Burn a cedar candle to cleanse/banish. Burn a cinnamon candle to draw in prosperity. Burn a citrus candle to uplift mood. This one is fantastic for broom closet witches.
Got a humidifier? Fill it up with moon water. You're welcome ;D
Politely ask the spirits of your plants to ward your space. Feed two birds with one scone this way.
Witchy social media. Scrolling on Tumblr and learning something new about witchcraft counts as witchcraft imo. Saving tarot spreads from Instagram for later counts too. Making Pinterest boards for literally anything also counts.
Keep a digital grimoire if doing it on paper costs too many spoons. I have used Google docs & drive in the past but I currently use Notion (You can copy and paste this way!)
If you still want a physical grimoire, print your stuff out and stick it in a binder or glue it in your journal. Boom. Physical grimoire
Listen to witchcraft related videos in the background while you do other tasks or chores in your home
Preparing a meal? Toss in spices that correspond with good health and drawing in positivity, or any other intention you have
Enchant your glasses to help you focus and "read between the lines" or see what wants to remain hidden (this one is a lifesaver at my job)
It reminds me of going to the beach with my dad in his VW Bug with the top rolled down. I’d sea4ch the beach for sea shells and bring them to him. ♥️

Monsters in the Dark #17
Blood, death, canon typical violence, kissing, oral (m receiving), dark fluff, dark themes, mentions of Billy’s abuse by Arthur, f/reader.
He’d appeared at the penthouse as winter waned into spring. The birds were chirping and making nests, and you’d felt lighter with Billy lately. Happy. It was a strange thing. You’d never been particularly happy.
You’d always been discontented to some degree, but things were different with Billy.
It was Arthur, he’d introduced himself, an old man playing the part of frailty. Of sweetness that left a bitter taste on your tongue. Billy was at work but you knew he’d be home soon, and your mind reeled.
You didn’t want Billy to have to face this man again. You were fiercely protective of Billy.
“Billy and I, we had a misunderstanding.” He said, back to you looking at a piece of art on the wall. “But he’s done well for himself, I see.”
You felt anger spark at his comment. That him abusing and destroying Billy’s arm was a misunderstanding.
“Billy is strong, hardship made him who he is.” You said, closing in on him.
“Oh, yes. Beautiful though, isn’t he?” Arthur asked, nearing the art presumably to see who made it.
As if Billy was a piece of art. Dehumanizing him. “Do you like beautiful little boys, Arthur?” You asked, darkly. It was so strange for your sweet personality to be tinged with this darkness, but this man had deeply hurt the man you loved. The man who would kill for you.
Arthur turned around at your tone, presumably to defend himself, as you raised a knife Billy had given you for self defense, and sunk it into Arthur’s throat.
Surprise flitted across his face. You didn’t exactly have a dangerous aura. He hadn’t expected it.
You weren’t Billy, and murder wasn’t something you were familiar with, so blood sprayed and made an awful mess over you, and the floor, and the wall.
He gurgled, holding his neck.
You brought the knife down. Again and again. It became easier with each strike. You didn’t stop until he laid in the kitchen, dead.
It was a bloody mess, but Billy was avenged.
x
Oh, god. What have you done?
You’d just taken a life. You felt sick as you kneeled by Arthur’s body, almost in a trance, knife hung limply in your hand.
You heard speaking as though you were underwater, before you were shaken. “Sweetheart!” It was Billy.
You looked up at him slowly, eyes glassy but clearing. “He can never hurt Billy again.” You said reaching for your lover.
Billy fisted your hair in his hand, pulling your mouth to his roughly. He tasted the tang of blood on your lips.
The kitchen was a mess.
“I made a mess,” you mumbled distantly.
“I don’t give a fuck.” Billy said, wiping your face with a cloth.
“I made trouble for you. But I wanted to protect Billy like he protects me.” You explained, as he pulled you up.
You wobbled on your legs as Billy stared at you.
No one had attempted to avenge Billy. Frank always had his back, but he’d never gone after Arthur.
You were so soft, it was hard to imagine you stabbing Arthur over and over again.
Billy’s heart burned for you. “I got some people that will clean up the mess. Don’t worry about it.” He said pulling towards the bathroom.
“Billy is mad?” You asked, softly. Almost sounding small.
“Never, sweet pea. I’m just—“ he didn’t know how to put it into words. You were brave for wearing your heart on your sleeve, even surrounded by ravenous wolves like himself.
Billy couldn’t. He wasn’t so free with his heart. It was hard for him to put his feelings into words.
“I’d do it again, Billy.” You say stripping off your bloody clothes.
Billy licks his lips looking at you, aroused by what you’ve done. By your soft body.
“And I’d love you for it stronger each time, baby.” Billy said, stripping out of his own clothes, sitting his gun aside on the countertop.
You both climbed into the shower, where Billy washed your hair, making buzz with contentment. His nails felt heavenly on your scalp.
You turned to face him, pressing your lips to his, before looking at him; “Can I touch you, Billy?” You asked, sweetly.
Billy groaned, and nodded.
You dropped to your knees.
Fuck.
He was already hard.
You stroked him, kissing his length, before taking him in your mouth. You teased the tip with your tongue, before taking him all the way in.
You gagged a little, as he grabbed your hair, pulling.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck.” Billy hissed, rolling his hips into your mouth, cock pulsing in your mouth.
Your mouth felt heavenly.
Murder and sex, a heady combination.
You hollowed out your cheeks, sucking harder and faster.
Billy’s toes curled, and he barely recognized his gasps and moans.
You let your tongue run along the vein on the underside of his cock, making him jerk. “Minx,” he growled.
“Love worshiping your cock, Billy.” You purred, teasing him with your tongue.
He pulled on your hair, forcing you to take him all the way in again. You choked, swallowing around him.
“I’m gonna—“ he said, breathing heavily.
He let go then, cumming into your mouth, and you swallowed every drop.
Billy leaned against the shower wall, sated and drowsy now.
He shut the water off, wondering when you’d become so strong.
He was really fucking proud of you. You’d avenged him, a far cry from the girl crying at his bedroom door, begging to sleep with him.
x
That night you both laid dozing quietly while a spring rain seemed to wash away all the dirt and grime into the city gutters.
You imagined filth like Arthur being washed away. You knew he was just one of many child abusers. But at least he was one less.
Billy’s lips brushed your forehead. He didn’t know how to tell you he was happy. He wasn’t mad. He was relieved Arthur was gone.
He was infatuated with the fact you avenged him.
It was all so much.
“You make me happy,” he said, almost cringing at the words. He didn’t do soft. He didn’t do sappy. But he needed you to know.
“Billy makes me happy, too.” You said, kissing his neck.
He relaxed.
It just cemented the idea that you were his.

Billy loved you.
He knew that all consuming ache in his chest could be no other thing.
It was four in the morning, and a few minutes before his alarm went off, and he was watching you sleep curled against him.
He was terrified of this new feeling.
He hadn’t meant for it to happen. But he hadn’t expected you to be so soft. So good. People were mostly a means to an end for Billy, save for Frank.
They’d proven time and again they were shallow, and only after themselves.
But you were different. You saw the best in people, even in Billy. You had a hard life, but you hadn’t let it harden you.
Billy thought you were brave, to wear your heart on your sleeve after being knocked down so many times.
His fingers curled around your hip, pulling you closer. You mumbled something but didn't wake.
He thought love made people pure, but your love had made a monster out of him. He didn’t care who he had to destroy to make sure you remained intact.
He’d burn the world and every fucker in it for you.
He kissed you as his alarm went off, realizing he’d been watching you for too long.
You sighed into his mouth, “Morning, Billy.” You mumbled sleepily.
“Morning, baby.” He purred, kneading your hips. “Wanna take a shower with me?”
You were suddenly very awake and eager. “Mhm!” You said, and the enthusiasm in your voice made him ache in the best way as you threw the duvet off.
He sat up chuckling as you ran to the bathroom, after a few seconds you peeked around the corner. “Come on.” You said impatiently.
Love, indeed.

Billy felt like a weight was on his chest, he was vaguely aware he was sweating, and mumbling in his sleep. He was all around Billy.
Arthur.
Billy was crushed under waves of helplessness and rage, he thrashed swinging the stickball bat. Pain exploded in his shoulder, and he screamed into the darkness.
He jerked at a gentle touch. Yours. He blinked at you in the dim light. He worked to slow his breathing. He fucking hated feeling vulnerable.
He grabbed you, pulling you against him, lips pressing to yours urgently. You melted against him as Billy fought for control. His fingers dug into your hips, and you sighed pressing closer to him.
Billy pulled back, his dark eyes looking like pits as they stared at you. He looked wild and untamed. You didn’t know what was upsetting your roommate.
“What’s wrong, Billy?” You asked softly as he nuzzled your neck.
“When a grown man tells you that you’re pretty, you know nothing good is comin’.” Billy murmured hoarsely, “I was eleven.”
You felt a deep sadness for that helpless boy. But Billy wasn’t a boy anymore, and he certainly wasn’t helpless.
Your eyes watered, and Billy smiled darkly. “Don’t look at me like that sweet pea. It made me stronger.”
“You were a child. Billy didn’t need to be strong, he needed to be safe.” You said lips trembling.
Billy kissed you hard, fingers pulling on your hair. This was why to Billy you were a cut above everyone else.
He loved your soft heart. It was comforting, even though Billy was hard pressed to admit he needed comforting.
He was never letting you go.
They’d have to take you from his cold, dead hands.
