WriterofthePrompts Ultimate Ask Masterlist

I’ve decided to make a masterlist of asks I’ve done to make them easier to find for you guys (and for myself). I split them into categories as best as I could by genre and topic. Also, some asks have some helpful tips in the notes as well to check out (some are marked but not all) and if you have anything to add that you think would help, feel free to reply or reblog with your addition. I’ll try to keep it updated with future asks.

Now without further ado, the strangest and most wonderful list I’ve ever made.

Wanda + energy spheres. ELIZABETH OLSEN as WANDA MAXIMOFF/THE SCARLET WITCH.

Bit of a backstory for Az

Azerath held his head in his hands.They had taken him from Azerath, consumed his mind slowly, turned him against Az. The desire demon slaughtered them all, his love died at his hands and the blood would not wash off.

A sob left his throat as he looked at the blood on his hands, on him. It was everywhere, he tried scrubbing it until he felt his hands bleed and still it would not come off. The memories of his living dying hitting him like a thousand arrows hitting him at once, he started to shake, his aura getting unstable, wisps of his magic flying around the room.

He had taken his love and buried him behind his loves house, buried with new clothes and favored possessions. There was not much Azerath could do but, he could do his best, he had to for him.

He was shaken out of his thoughts by ira nudging him on the side, Ira was still a scrawny thing, only being 'alive' for the past century, Ira motioned to the open door. His magic dissipated.

"Go.." His voice sounded cracked and weak when he spoke, clearing his throat he tried again. "Go find somewhere to hibernate for a while.. you'll know when I have awoken." Ira whined but lowered her head, sulking and she walked out of the room.

He began to sob again once he heard Ira leave the house, he knew what was to be done. He looked around the room, going over his loves things one more time before reaching under the pillow where he knew a knife lay. The glint of the weapon taunted him, as if it were whispering 'Coward, running away like always', 'You killed him', 'Your fault', like the voices in his head did.

He wiped his eyes, looking down to the knife, he dropped to his knees, eyes still staring at the knife. He began to sing an old lullaby his love sang him to calm him as he gripped the handle of the knife, he waited until the end of the lullaby to perform the cut, doing it deep but quickly.

Slumping to the ground, he watched the light fade slowly from the room as he was slowly but surely pulled into the fade. He needed time, to recover. 'Can i recover from this..' he thought before he finally drifted into slumber.

//plus I kinda wanted to write angst haha
