Nightmares and Lies

((WARNING: SYMPATHETIC DECEIT AHEAD! If that triggers you, I suggest you don't read!))

Deceit had been in Roman's Fantasy Realm before. Sometimes it was to create mischief and to mess with the sides while true were on quests, to be the perfect bad guy, but other times it was just to... relax. And be alone.

He was used to being alone. As someone who was different from the the other Dark Sides but definitely wasn't welcomed by the Light Sides - well, unwelcome by most, Patton was always the exception - he had grown used to being alone a long, long time ago.

He was at his favorite spot. It was a bridge that went over a bubbling creek. It sounded nice and every now and then, some cute critters would scamper by. The fearless ones would look past his scales and enjoy his pets before running off. He liked it here, because it was peaceful, calm. It was also near a bend. If he heard someone coming, he could sink out before they even saw him. The trick had worked several, several times.

But, Deceit either didn't hear them or he was too wrapped up in his own thoughts this night. He was sitting crosslegged on one of the pillars of he bridge, staring out into the dark night and bubbling water, when he heard that godawful voice.

"Hey there, pumpkin pie!"

Deceit nearly jumped out of his skin; but he tried to act as calm as he could while sighing and turning towards the voice. While the sides were technically the same person they all had their own tones of voices, and Deceit most definitely knew that tone.

"Remy," he said, not even trying to hide the distaste in his voice.

Remy, or Sleep, smirked at him widely. He was sipping from a Starbucks dream that was theee fourths of the way full and he looked very pleased about something. His sunglasses were on his face, as they always were, along with his skinny jeans, white shirt( and leather jacket. His dress was iconic and annoying all at the same time.

"Nice to see you too, Sunshine! What're you doing down here?" He asked, biting the straw of his drink afterwards. Deceit sighed.

"That's definitely your business." He said. "If you could not leave me alone, that would not be delightful-"

"Oh, cut the lying, Snake-Eyes." Remy smirked. "It's gotta be annoying." Deceit bristled and growled, glaring forward. He decided to not spur Remy on with a response, but he should've known that that wouldn't have stopped the sassiest side of them all. "So, what's got you awake?"

"Shouldn't you be able to tell?" Remy shrugged and took a loud sip through his straw.

"I prefer it when people just tell me. Otherwises, I have to dive into your subconscious, and pick around your brain-" He waved his hand while rolling his eyes. "It's just not worth it, darling."

Deceit scoffed but didn't respond right away. He could feel Remy staring at him, waiting rather patiently. The snake-hybrid had known the side long enough to know that he didn't give up easily, and if he wanted an answer, he often got it. So he sighed and shifted, suddenly feeling uneasy.

"My bed's too lonely." He finally admitted, and he almost immediately cursed himself for it. What the hell was he thinking? Remy was either gonna laugh at him, or just not even believe him. Even when he was telling the truth, no one believed him-

"Well, why's that?"

Deceit blinked, before he looked at the other side. Remy was leaning against the bridge now, staring up at him as he waited patiently. Deceit stared at him."

"You must be kidding me." He finally growled. Remy snickered at the annoyance dripping from the deceitful side's tone.

"I'm not. Why is it lonely?"

"If you use some common sense-"

"Oh, c'mon. Work with me here."

Deceit stared at him, before he sighed.

"It's lonely, because... Because no one's there for me. No one's there right now, and no one's gonna be there when I wake up. No one's at my room, waiting for me, worrying about me." He growled and looked away. "It's- It's so stupid. "

"No it's not."

"Yes, it is. I shouldn't feel that way. I have no reason to."

"And why is that?"

"What?"

"Why don't you have a reason to feel that way?"

"..."

"Come on, don't clamp up on me now!" Remy teased, but it was flat. Neither were in a playful mood now.

"Because I'm not good!" Deceit suddenly snapped. "I'm not like the others, who bring something good to Thomas's life! I'm not like Patton, whose happy, and fluffy, and keeps Thomas so happy! And I'm not Logan who strives for the pursuit of knowledge and promotes selfcare! I'm not Roman, who comes up with some wonderful and creative ideas, who help the tours get ready- and I'm not even like Virgil, who keeps Thomas from running out into goddamn traffic and stops him from embarrassing himself! I'm-!" His voice choked and he gritted his teeth, fangs gleaming as he bared them.

"I'm... not... wanted."

Silence fell over them as Deceit bowed his head, taking a shaky breath. His heart was pounding from his outburst. It was the longest he'd ever been honest. He covered his mouth with his hand and took a deep breath through his nose.

"You might not be wanted, but you're needed."

Deceit stiffened.

"How many times have you saved Thomas?"

"Saved? What the hell are you-""

"The airport. When that guy shoved Thomas and his cart over in the elevator. Roman was ready to punch his lights out and Virgil was panicking. What did you do?"

"..."

"You told Thomas to say it was okay. It might not have been the most satisfying choice, but it was the safest choice. Thomas wouldn't have won a fight with that guy. You protected him."

"That-"

"And good lord, how many Thanksgiving's did you help him through? With judgemental relatives asking him when he was going to get a girlfriend?" Remy rolled his eyes. "You have the patience sent from a god, tart."

Deceit snorted, more at the nickname then the compliment.

"Dakota." The side stiffened at his real name and he swallowed before he looked at Remy. Remy stared back, his Starbucks placed beside the pillar Deceit sat on. "You don't need validation from the others. Sure, it's nice, and I'm certain that they're gonna come around one day- but, you don't need it. Thomas would be a wreck without you. He would have gotten into fights, into so many dangerous situations, lord only knows if he would've ever survived Thanksgiving." The usually sassy side smirked, but it was sad, almost bitter. He reached up and pulled off his sunglasses, revealing his eyes to Deceit for the very first time.

He had heavy bags underneath them, and they were bloodshot from his lack of sleep. Deceit understood why. While he saw every lie, Remy saw everyone's nightmares. He walked through every bad dream Thomas had, while Roman was lucky enough to only face the good and wacky ones. There was a valid reason behind all of the Starbucks, the late nights, and his snarky attitude. It was simply how he coped. It was how he kept the others from worrying.

They didn't know about Deceit's ability to see every lie, so he wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know a thing about the hell Remy faced every single night.

"You don't get anything out of misery, Dakota." Remy's voice was soft.

"Take it from me."

The unlikely friends parted without much more words. They probably wouldn't see each other again unless they caught each other the bridge, which was unlikely but not nearly as unlikely as them seeing each other in the common room.

They didn't go home together, or confide in their own troubles some more- sides like them weren't made for happy endings.

But Deceit swore that he heard a familiar voice humming as he drifted off to sleep that night, and that was enough for him.

John Wick Deceit AU

This sort of drives away from the movie's canon so that all of the characters can be in it, but it's still sort of the same concept

Deceit is obviously John Wick

Virgil is his husband that ended up dying

Logan is his brother-in-law who owns the shop those criminals took his car to after they stole it and knows immediately that its Deceit's car ("DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHOSE CAR YOU'VE STOLEN?!")

Patton is Deceit's twin and Logan's husband and has his own hitman background and he warns Deceit about the trouble he's going to get himself into, but helps him nonetheless because he loves his younger twin.

Roman is Virgil's brother, who is the one who went and got the puppy and gave it to Deceit with Virgil's note under his request

Remy is a prostitute who's caught up in this huge mess because he's the main enemy's (the father of one of the frat boys that stole Deceit's car and killed his dog) current squeeze and he and Deceit end up getting tiny, tiny tiny tiny little bits of feelings for each other bECAUSE F I G H T ME-

This user thinks Deceit deserves a hug

Deceit freckin’ Sanders

ya know what. It took me since Dee was first introduced up until about a month ago to realise I LOVE HIM. Like?? HOW??? Can??? You??? Not??? Like, yeah he’s a little rough around the edges, but so was Virgil. Maybe Dee is a bit more extreme but if you actually look at it, he’s doing what Virgil did. But, in honour of me finally realising Deceit Sanders is my lil’ slimy boi, here's me some Head Cannons I have come up with;

Deceit + Virgil Platonic: Virgil slowly realising that Deceit has fallen down the same path he did before he was accepted and slowly helping him integrate himself into the group by yelling discussing with the others why Deceit is valuable  and need as part of their team  Romantic: Virgil being the only one who gets what Deceit is going through and so he the snaky boi gets a mad schoolboy crush that Virgil notices but he doesn’t wanna do anything until Deceit is in a better mindset. Deceit kisses his cheek once and from them on, Virgil is high key gay and proud of his soft but slimy boyf

Roman + Deceit Platonic: Roman walking in on Deceit crying in the kitchen because he broke a mug on his foot and there’s blood everywhere and he sees Roman watching him and before Roman can even ask is he okay, Deciet is already apologising and saying he’ll clean it and is going to grab a towel and wincing as he takes a step and Roman realises just how fragile the boy is. And he just holds him and lets him cry it out. Romantic: Classic enimes to lovers trope. Roman hated Deceit until he saw him in a whole new light. Deciet is just tryna help Roman after Logon got mad case he missed a deadline by making him brownies. And they turn out really nice! And he walks to Roman’s room and leaves them their as a sercret but Roman catches him and soon realises that Dee is always helping them, him especially

Logon + Deciet Platonic: Logon being salty after the video where Deceit shuts him up and when he goes to shout it out, see the poor boy crying in his balck hole of a room. Notices the words on the walls of horrible messages. Confronts Virgil about it and Virgil explains that for the dark sides, every bad thing someone thinks of them, gets written on their walls so that they continue being dark. (Virigl was never a dark side, more of a mix between the two but he usually stayed with the dark side because they accepted him more than the others at first). Logon realises that he needs to talk to the others but first brings Deceit into his room away from those messages. Romantic: Logon falling in love first after Deceit explains that the only reason he lies is so Thomas can protect himself. he doesn’t want him to be alone, so whats wrong with lying to a friend about where he was? He doesn’t want Thomas to get hurt, so whats wrong with imbelishing the truth? After Logon explains the negative side of Deceits plan, the two work out a better way for Deceit to help Thomas without actually hurting them. And they both are hella gay and realise that they like each other and its just pure fluffly goo

Patton + Deciet Platonic: When Patton first sees Deceit all he can think is “Yay! New friend!” and goes out of his way to help Deceit. And after a few failed attempts, he find progress! He’s there when Deceit needs to talk and yeah he doesn’t agree with everything but, he does understand that Deceit is just a sappy boi at heart. And OH MY GOD, all the puns they share, and Deceit shows Patton how to make brownies (can you tell I really want brownies?) Romantic: Deceit falling headover heels whenever Patton’s nice but he’s Patton. He’s nice to everybody. ‘he only gave him that extra portian as a friend!! He only hugs him for longer than the others because they’re friends! He only... kisses his cheek as friends...!...?’ A very red Deceit eventually confesses and Patton laughs and kisses his cheek, saying how he wondered how long it’d take for him to come forward and admit it.

DLAMP Plantonic: The trio (Roman, Patton, Logon) finding a very scared Virgil and a very broken Deceit and treating them like they’re lost puppies. Clothing them, feading them, helping them when things get to bad. And just think onsies! And movie nights! And pillow and/or popcorn fights! The possibilities! 

SO! MANY! POSSIBILITIES! I actually can’t narrow one down as my favourite but you can all pick your own or add on!

People??? like this??? my like 2am thoughts about my slimy boi?? uhm, lol okay. y’all... can like... add on? y’all got any ideas? you can bet your gucci sliders I wanna hear them. send me them all ~ or if you wanna send me a prompt?

Accepting Deceit Chpt.1

WARNING; 

SYMPATHETIC DECEIT (ik some  people don’t need warnings for this lil’ slimy boi but some do and thats okay too!),

crying, 

sadness, 

panic attack

Hi guys! So, @ab-artist commented on my first post (deceit freakin’ sanders) about me making my ‘Deceit freakin sanders’ post a chaptered story. I really liked this idea and I got their permission to make this (it was their idea to do make it a chapter story.) So. Who’s READY!

Word; 1111

Virgil liked to think he understood what the road to ruin looked like. To him, when he was so far down that path himself, it was a lack of sleep, an overindulgence in alone time, refusing to talk with others. He knew all people were different, and they coped with things differently but he did not expect this from the one and only Deceit freakin Sanders.

It all started with a petty argument. Thomas had double booked himself. They were talking it out, and the idea of lying was brought up. Of course, everyone in the room tensed, waiting for a certain snake to pop up. But, he did not. The five (Roman, Logan, Patton, Virgil and Thomas) stood in silence. Virgil, like the others, decided this was a good thing. But something didn’t sit well with him. The others dismissed this too quickly. He stayed silent before he eventually sunk out almost as soon as a conclusion was reached. He probably should've expected Patton to come and make sure he was okay.

“Yeah, popstar, I just didn’t sleep well,” Virgil lied. Patton raised his eyebrow.

“You sure, Virge?” Virgil nodded, giving a lazy half smile. 

“You wanna watch a movie? Mulan? I think I still have the DVD here somewhere...”

It was the same setting, different problem. Thomas liked two people at the same time and he didn’t know which one he wanted. Virgil’s level of anxiety had increased? What if one of them found out about the other? What if-

No surprises, but Roman and Patton were conflicted. Patton didn’t want to hurt either male and Princey didn’t know which one could be ‘the prince of their dreams’. Logan was the only calm headed one there.

“If one of them brings up the other, you could lie?” And again, a tension spread throughout the room. Again, no snake popped up. Virgil frowned before he finally realised what was going on. Oh. Oh.

He didn’t even wait for a solution before he sunk down. He found himself in his room and he sprinted, going to the place he tried so desperately to keep himself away from. He knocked on the yellow door before it finally opened. Once Deceit saw it was Virgil outside, he desperately tried to shut the door again, but Virgil pushed through. The stench hit him first. How long had Deceit stayed in his room? The look on Deceit’s face shocked him as well. It was anger, but it was so much deeper. His eyes were watering and his body shaking.

“Well? Here to laugh at me? Kick me out of my own room? What do you want? I stopped showing up because you all clearly love me!” Virgil stayed where he was.

“Deceit,” Virgil said and Deceit flinched. “Dee.I think you’re having a panic attack.” The shaking only increased. “Can I touch you?” Dee shook his head wildly. “Okay, thats okay. But I need you to sit down on the floor - look, I’ll do it too.” Deceit lowered himself to the floor, and Virgil sat cross-legged across from him. “Okay? Focus on my voice. I need you to breathe in for four seconds, okay? Hold it for seven.” Virgil counted with his fingers. “Breathe out for eight. Good, you’re doing great, Dee. We’ll do it again, okay? Count it out with your fingers with me?” It took three or four more times before Dee was breathing regularly. “Okay, are you grounded? Can you give me five things you can see?”

“You, the floor... the bed... uh, the, uh, uhh-”

“It's okay, take a deep breath, go through it slowly,” Virgil said.

“Five... you. The bed. The floor. The window. The dust... Does that count?” Virgil nodded.

“Four things you can hear?”

“Your voice, my voice, the prince’s playlist - it’s so loud all the time - and uh...” There was a brief silence. “Footsteps.”

“Very good,” Virgil said, extending his foot and kicking the door closed and it automatically locked. “Three things you can smell?”

“This room, your hoodie - do you even wash it? - and... cookies?” Virgil could indeed smell cookies. Probably Patton.

“Two things you can feel?”

“The floor, my shirt? No, that’s stupid-”

“It works,” Virgil said. “One thing you can taste?”

“The regret in your voice.” Virgil snorted.

“I have to give you that one, don’t I?”

“Yes, you do. I’m sensitive.” Virgil giggled at that.

“No, princey's sensitive, you’re just... you,” Virgil said.

“Don’t sound so disappointed,” Dee said, gripping his sleeve.

“I’m not. Heaven knows you’re better than I am -”

“Very true,” Dee said, resulting in Virgil giggling again. “You’re giggle is so high pitched!”

“It fucking adorable, mate, and I will fight you on this.” The two sat in a comfortable silence. “Dude, you stink!”

“So does your hoodie!”

“Do you wanna talk about it?” Dee went quiet again.

“I just felt unwelcome. So, I just thought, that if I stopped showing up-”

“Then the feeling would go away? Been there, felt that.”

“How did you get over it?” Virgil thought back

“They accepted me.” Dee snorted.

“They’d all rather die,” he said. It was meant to sound casual, but his voice was thick.

“Do you know they used to scream when I came into the room? And princy? Oh god, it was like he found out his least favourite person was doing better than him. Logan didn’t care - like, at all. He pretended I didn’t exist. And Patton... well, he was just scared,” Virgil said.

“Why-”

“And Thomas? Oof, he just blatantly refused to acknowledge me sometimes. They accepted me because they had to. Because they realised they could use the good parts of me. In fact, they only really recently accept the bad parts too. And it’s not just me, we constantly have to real princy in. He wanted to move into a bouncy castle the other day. And Patton just follows whoever shouts the loudest, which is usually Roman. And Logan doesn’t admit he’s wrong,” Virgil said. “We all have to work on ourselves, none of us is perfect.” There was a silence before Dee cleared his throat.

“Don’t say oof. You’re not twelve.” Virgil stared at the snaky boi for a moment, completely bewildered before he burst out laughing.

“I just spilt my heart out and thats all you can say?”

“I don’t do emotions, they’re complicated and they suck!” Virgil giggled again.

“Then it seems you’ll fit right in.”

Accepting Deceit Chpt.2

@ab-artist 

WARNING; Sympathetic deceit, brief mention of blood

“But... He’s Deceit!” Roman shouted. Virgil was standing, had been for about five minutes. His hand was still tensed on the table, red from when he slammed it down hard. It as his fault. Virgil was the one who came in here, with some cock and bull story about how Deceit was sorry. Deceit couldn’t be sorry. He was... he was Deceit!

“Now, Kiddo, lets here Virgil out, maybe he-”

“Are we all just gonna forget about everything Deceit did? Everything he said?! To me? To you? To us? He constantly tries to get Thomas trouble!” Roman yelled. “Does he even care about Thomas!”

“It’s funny Roman because I once heard you say that about me.” The silence that hit the room was heavy, weighed down by Virgil’s words and the way Roman had jerked back. Sitting down again, Virgil shakily took the glass of water that had been slid over to him by Patton. “I’m not asking you to forgive him off the bat, but don’t push him out. I couldn’t deal with it, and I know he can’t.”

Roman supposed Virgil was right. However, he was not willing to point that out yet. He was brooding in his room. He knew he had been mean to the fellow side. He sighed again, running his hands through his hair. It was just... Deceit didn’t know when to stop. All those ‘compliments’ really hurt him. It hurt twice as hard whenever it was directed at his acting. Each side brought talents to Thomas. One of the talents Patton brought was his skill with helping others, Logan brought his ability to pick things up quickly, Virgil his ability to keep himself and others out of dangerous situations. And he brought his skill for singing and acting. Deceit rarely went after the other’s skills, but he knew Roman weak point, and he abused it.

Every side comment about how he should just give up, or the sarcastic compliments, it hurt. And Virgil and the others were just willing to let that slide? To forgive Deceit? Like, yeah, they did stuff just as bad, but he started it! Roman sighed, realising he was on a dangerous thought process. He wasn’t in the clear here - none of them was. They’d all been rude to Deceit, ignored him, kicked him out, called him names. And Deceit had done the same. Roman supposed it was an ‘if this is how you treat me, then thats how I’ll treat you’ situation. He didn’t even know who started it.

Sighing again, Roman stood up and stretched, before venturing out of his room for some calming tea. He slowly made his way down but hurried slightly when he heard a crash and a sob. He made it to the kitchen before he saw his mug in shambles. However, this was not what his attention was focused on. Deceit sat on the floor, tears running down his face. He had a large gash on his foot and there was blood everywhere. Roman let out an involuntary gasp and Dee’s head shot up. Roman’s mouth opened to ask if he was okay ut Dee got their first.

“I am so sorry! I-i swear it w-w-was an accident! I-I'll cl-clean it up!” Dee went to stand up but almost immediately cried out in pain. 

“Deceit. Hey, Deceit, I’m not mad.” Deceit was shaking and mentioned his name wasn’t helping. “Uhhh, D... Dee?” It didn’t calm him down completely but he wasn’t shaking as violently. “I need to get you out of here, can... can I carry you?” Dee looked down at the broken mug and realised that it was either Roman carrying him or he walked over broken pottery. 

“Y-yeah...” Roman stepped closer to Dee slowly. He put his hands on the boy’s shoulders, looking him in the eyes before he slowly picked him up bridal style. Slowly and carefully, making sure not to overly tense his muscle so Dee didn’t feel like he was hurting Roman, but also not too loose because then Dee might think he’ll drop him. Roman placed him down on the couch before grabbing the first aid kit on the TV stand. He carefully wiped Dee’s cuts, making sure to place an anti-infection cream over it, before wrapping up his foot. Dee took shaky breaths the entire time.

“Dee, I need you to stay calm okay. Do you want to sleep on the couch or in your room?”

“T-the couch...” Dee said. Roman pulled out the bed on the couch and slowly helped Deceit lay down. He covered the side up with blankets. Just as he went to get a pillow, he felt Deceit grab his arm. “I want to apologise.”

“You can do it later, or-”

“No. I need to apologise now. I said some horrible things to you.” Roman sighed.

“We said horrible things to each other. And we’re both sorry but right now your tired and delirious,” Roman said. “If you really mean this apology, we’ll talk in the morning. So we can both apologise when our emotions aren’t mixed. Goodnight, Dee, please get some sleep.”

Roman was really dreading the next morning, but he wasn’t quite as excited as he usually was in the morning. Patton was usually down first, followed by Logan, then Roman and finally, if they were lucky, Virgil would be down before noon. 

This morning, however, Roman was the first up. He put the kettle on, took out some breakfast things before he finally gave up on avoiding the sitting room. He entered, finding Deceit still passed out. He slowly approached the side, trying to remember how they used to walk Virgil up. Then he remembered; They didn’t. Biting his lip and taking a deep breath, Roman kneeled down.

“Dee?” he said softly. Deceit’s eyebrow creased. “Dee, can you wake up please?” Deceit wiggled slightly and Roman smiled at how cute it was. “Dee?” This tie, Deceit opened his eyes, before shooting up, his head colliding with Roman’s. “Ow.”

“Oh- I’m sorry- I didn’t-”

“Sh, hey it's okay. No harm was done. Look, Dee, I know you’re scared but I’m not mad. I just wanna talk. And you apologised last night, so it's my turn now.” Deceit nodded. “So, I have said and done horrible things, and I can’t just let them sit. So, for every snarky comment and shoulder or anything I’ve done, I’m sorry. And I know that you can’t forgive me straight away, and you shouldn’t, but maybe we can work on this?”

“Work on what?”

“A friendship?” Roman nodded slightly.

“yeah, a friendship.”

Accepting Deceit Part. 3

@ab-artist

WARNING; Sympathetic deceit, a brief mention of blood

Logan liked to think of himself as impartial, not caring about which direction Thomas chose to follow as long as he obeyed the rules and his choices made sense. He thought himself easy to please as well. He wasn’t like Roman, who needed to be rewarded for his actions, or Patton who needed to know everyone was happy with his decision, or Virgil, who just seemed to need constant validation that he wasn’t messing up. He just needed self-gratification and that was enough.

However, he had recently been forced to accept that maybe - maybe - he was a bit headstrong when it came to making decisions that he may be - a slight chance - that he tended to ignore the others. And maybe thats why Deceit left him out. Or maybe it was because Deceit was just afraid of logic because he was literally the exact opposite of what Logan stood for-

But that couldn’t be proven so he wouldn’t keep himself awake at night. 

But he was surprised when Virgil approached the three of them about giving Deceit a chance. He had some logical arguments and he was even more surprised when Roman - yes, Roman - was suddenly in Deceit’s corner. Logan wasn’t mad, per se, but he wasn’t happy. Patton was always too forgiving and easily trusting so Logan couldn’t count on him to have a logical and thoughtful debate on th subject.

So, naturally, he turned to Virgil.

“But I’m just confused, you are -were more than hostile towards him at the start and frequently told him that you didn’t want him around. What’s changed?”

“I never really realised what I was doing. In a way, I responded to the aggression he gave me, and us in general. The only difference was, my aggression came from spite and meanness, he came from his vulnerability,” Virgil explained. “Plus, I treated him as you all treated me at the start. I thought to ice him out would make it easier but it just brings down a lot of feelings onto him that he doesn’t deserve.” 

“But thats the thing, he has also been mean to us, and you can argue that it was out of vulnerability but that still doesn’t exclude his actions and he has to be held responsible,” Logan said.

“But does it excuse our actions?” Virgil asked. Logan blinked at him. “Uh, I’m awful with words. uh,, does him being mean to allow us to be mean back? Like, if someone pushes us, are we allowed push back? Because, if he has to be held responsible, then so do we.” Logan didn’t have a response to this.

“I suppose you make a valid point.”

“Wait, I just shocked Logan into silence? Logan ‘I-always-have-something-to-say’ Sanders got shocked into silence,” Virgil teased before he heard someone calling his name. “Probably princy. He has run out of villains.” 

Logan was somewhat clearer on the situation. But he still wanted to talk to Deceit. He seemed to be targetting Logan - excluding him, not allowing him to voice his opinion. He wanted to understand why, seeing as Roman, who actively tried to fight Deceit many a time, had turned around and was now on his side. He would consider talking to Roman, but he seemed to be busy recently. He would go to Patton, but he as so blinded by his emotions. The thought made him shudder.

So he decided the best person to understand the actions of Deceit was, well Deceit. So, that’s where he headed.

-x-

Logan had been down at the dark side’s rooms once before, and it was purely accidental. If you were to consider where the sides lived as a corridor, then Roman, Patton and himself were at the opposite end, Virgil was somewhat in the middle (both metaphorically and physically. Though his room had previously been in the dark sides corner, but as Thomas’ view of him moved, his room did as well, hence as to why he was in the middle) and then the dark sides were at the end. Of course, it wasn’t just one long corridor, but for the sake of simplicity, that would be the best way to describe it.

He continued on his route, thinking over what he would say to the other side. He knew it was important to not get (A) Physically, (B) Emotional or (C) Defensive. Upon reach the side’s room indicated but their emblem carved onto their door, he went to knock but found the door open. He was about to knock anyway, he understood how rude it was to enter a room unannounced even if the door was unlocked, but was stopped by the sound of cries. Through the crack in the door, he noticed deceit sitting with his back to a dark wall, his knees to his chest and tears running down his face. Upon further inspection, he noticed the walls were covered in sentences. The sentences themselves were horrible things, insults, jeers, backhanded compliments, the list went on. Logan, upon realising that even if he did enter the room to help that he would be unsuccessful in calmer the other down, slowly retreated. He had no idea what these phrases meant. Had Deceit written them on the wall? It seemed like a very depressive thing to do, and they clearly had been bothering Deceit, so he couldn’t have done them. Logan figured he has to ask one of the few people who might know. Virgil.

“Well, they’re, uh,” Virgil said, thinking through his words. “They’re things that have been said about that side. It only seems to appear in the dark sides area though. Like, for example, when I was still the villain to you guys, all the mean things you said to me came up on the wall.” Logan nodded, signalling he understood. “So, those things, well they’re things we’ve said and thought about Deceit, whether it's to him, or behind his back, they’ll appear.”

“But only the negative ones?” Virgil nodded. “So when we talked about you-”

“Yeah,” Virgil said, awkwardly shifting in his chair. 

“All of them?”

“All of them.”

-x-

“Family meeting?” Patton asked, looking at Roman who shrugged.

“Thats was glas- sorry, Logan said.” Patton just smiled. 

“Alright, Kiddo, thats for letting me know. Have you told Virgil?” Roman nodded. “Well, then let's get going!” As all four of them were seated Logan stood.

“So I’ve called this meeting talk about Deceit.” A tense cloud seemed to sweep over the room. “As I’m the only undecided party-” 

“Bu Patton-”

“-doesn’t hate anyone and will openly accept all of us.” Patton smiled and nodded. “So, I’m what I’m trying to say is that I agree with all you. I think we need to do something, and soon.”

“Yes but what?”

“We need to begin to help Thomas change his viewpoint of Deceit and the dark sides in general.” There was a decline in the tenseness of the room. “But we need to do something now, and I have an idea.”

-x-

The rapid knocking on Deceit door made two thing flash through his mind

1) Someone was here to kill him

2) Someone was here to annoy him.

Turned out to be a mix of both, as he opened the door to see Patton, who waved at him cheerily, Virgil, who gave him a half-smirk, Roman, who gave him an awkward smile filled with love, and Logan who had his usual unreadable expression but soft eyes.

“What-”

“You’re moving.” Logan cut him off. “Roman, you help him pick out clothes, Virgil, you grab the duvet and pillows and Patton-”

“Hug deceit?”

“No-” But Logan noticed that Patton was already hugging the side. Deceit blinked, looking like the group packed up his stuff.

“W-why?”

“Your wall. I can’t stand you just looking at it and thinking its true. So, we’re taking you out of here for now. Virgil’s got the biggest room space, so you’re gonna stay with him.”

“But the others-”

“We’re working on that.” There was silence as tears slipped down Deceit’s good eye.

“Why are you doing all of this?” There was a stop in movements as they looked at each other.

“Because we’re a family, Kiddo,” Patton said after moments of silence. “And we don’t leave anyone behind.” With that, the work resumed. Patton left deceit to help pack any knickknacks the side wanted. Logan made him over to the side, handing him a tissue. They both stood in silence, as Deceit regained control over his emotions and Logan looked at the trio packing up his things.

“You’re not a monster.” Deceit’s head whipped to the logical side. “You did bad things, yes. But so as Virgil, and he’s not a monster. I’ve done things I’m not proud of, all of us has. And I’m not saying it'll be easy, but we have to try.” Deceit nodded and Logan, never one for physical contact took Deceit hands and squeezed it for a moment before letting go as if to say ‘you’re not alone anymore’. But Deceit smiled and nodded in reply. ‘I know. Thank you’

Accepting Deceit Pt. 4

@ab-artist

WARNING; Sympathetic deceit, a brief mention of blood

---

Love, in general, was never really on Deceits mind. Before, when it was just Remus and Virgil by his side, he would never understand Roman and Patton’s feelings. How they could get so overwhelmed by these crushing emotions and not even know how to function. Deceit never understood that sort of love. He supposes he’s always known platonic love, how could he not? Virgil was - is his best friend. And Remus too, he supposes. Still, romantic love confused him.

That being said, something inside his heart is beating and moving and scaring him half to death but also thrilling him at the purple boy asleep next to him. His face is red and he feels as if he can’t breathe. And it doesn’t help that Virgil is holding his hand, or that his makeup is off and he looks so soft. Still, he’ll fight to never let this moment end, to stay here and let Virgil sleep next to him. 

Truth be told, he’d always had a soft spot for Virgil. When he first appeared and was shunned, Deceit, knowing what it was like to deal with being shunned, took him in. Minded him. Virgil was his best friend until Virgil managed to escape. Maybe Virgil had felt uneasy around him because he was everything Virgil tried to hide. Or maybe they just needed that time apart. Deceit felt his eyelids getting heavy, and with Virgil soft breath jut ghosting his cheek, he fell asleep.

-x-

“Well well well, look who decided to show up here again.”

“Not now, Remus.”

“Oh look, he even remembers who I am, lucky me,” Remus sneered. Deceit almost rolled his eyes but a realisation struck.

“You know you can come with me.” Remus as stunned by this left temporarily unable to speak.

“Yeah, as if,” he said, but his voice wasn’t as confident as before. Deceit walked forward and placed a hand on Remus's shoulders.

“Its never to late to be accepted.” Maybe it was the way Remus was looking at him or just the leftover feelings from the past few days, but Deceit turned and wrapped his arms around Remus. It was just for a moment, a soft squeeze before he let go, straightened up his coat, nodded to the others in the room and left. He had high hopes for the others, even if they weren’t accurate. No one was too far gone. (well someone people were) but the so-called ‘dark sides’ were not. No, far from it actually.

-x-

It was later that day when Deceit began to notice that his feelings were changing for not only Virgil but all four of them. Here he was, watching their animated debate when he caught eyes with Logan, the only other person not joining in. Logan gave him a look that said ‘here they go again’ and Deceit was hit with a wave of something so domestic. Like he had always been here.

Patton was laughing at his own joke, which was no an entirely uncommon event, but the best part was he could seem to finish the joke he was laughing so hard. And Patton has this laugh that was contagious, and Deceit was no exception. His side hurt and he was in tears laughing at a joke he hadn’t even heard yet. Every time they began to calm down, someone would set them off again.

And Roman. The boy who had a heart of gold and so much to proof. He arguing with Virgil, trying to find a movie to watch. Apparently they had movie night every week. When the argument settled, He look around for a seat. Patton was on the three seater, with Logan. Virgil was on the single seater, cursing Roman’s choice of ‘Cinderella’ (the live action, of course), but Roman looked right past them and sat down next to Deceit. 

It wasn’t that surprising that he had managed to fall in love with these boys. They were kind and sweet and always knew how to balance affection with alone time. Yes, they had so much more fighting to go through, but this, this was something worth fighting for.

Accepting Deceit/Janus - Pt.5

@ab-artist @knine-nights (since they asked to be in the tag list ages ago) Did y’all really think I wasn’t going to give Patton his chapter? pfft. 

“So, Janus-” Truth be told, he was still not use to them using his real name. “-I realised you’ve never told me your favourite cookie?” 

“What?”

“Well, Virgil loved triple chocolate, Roman loves sugar cookies and Logan likes oatmeal chocolate chip. Whats yours?” Patton asked again.

“Uh, well, I kinda prefer brownies, actually.” Patton nodded

“Hmm, I’ve never been able to get the brownies not taste dry.”

“Well, it might mean you’re overpacking the dry ingredients. You can add them in slowly while mixing.”

“Why don’t you show me?” Patton suggested and Janus had to will himself not to blush. He coughed.

“Uh yes, sure.”

-x-

“Okay, so eggs, flour, chocolate powder-”

“Wow kiddo, your memory bakes me so proud!” Janus blinked at Patton, who had a grin  on his face and a whisk in his hands. It was tense enough minutes until Janus snorted, immediately covering him mouth to prevent it happening again.

“Come Patton, we can’t get distracted or else this’ll be a recipe for disaster.” It took him a second to hear it, but when he did, Patton let out a squeal. Janus giggled at the display. 

“Finally, someone who understand my humour!” Janus laughed at this.

“I don’t know, I hear Logan isn’t too above making a pun.”

“Yes, but he usually always denies it or gets defense. Which is okay too, Kiddo,” Patton said.

“We had better get started...” Janus trailed off.

“Sure thing,” Patton said, ruffling his hair.

-x-

“So kiddo, I gotta ask where your boundaries are. I know virge doesn’t like to be treated overly innocent and Logan is similar. Is there anything we, or me specifically, do that might make you a little uncomfy?” Patton asked at he was lining the tray, while Patton was mixing the batter.

“Uhm, I can’t think of anything.”

“Thats cool too. It’s still early days, but don’t be afraid mention it. Even if you think we’ll be offended.” Janus nodding.

“Is...” He trailed off, clearing his throat. “Is there anything I do that make’s you... uncomfy?”

“No, not for me.” Janus nodding. He look up and saw Patton smiling at him and he cleared it his mind because damn Patton had a pretty smile. Janus couldn’t seem to stop himself from smiling back. He noticed Patton’s shoulder sink a little with relief and a burst of something ran through him. No one had ever been so worried about upsetting him before. He looked away quickly, finding his face get hot. 

“Is it mixed?” patton chuckled.

“Sure is Kiddo - kiddo is okay, as a nickname?”

“Yeah, Kiddo is okay.” Patton beamed again.

“Okay then Kiddo, let your ol’ popstar put this bad boy in the oven. You wanna start the cleanup? I’ll be over to help asap.” Janus nodded, the butterflies swooping in his stomach.

-x-

“Is that Janus’ brownies baking?” Virgil asked, appearing in the common room. 

“Yes, Virge, how did you know?”

“He used to make them for me all the time,” Virgil plopped down beside Janus, resting his head on the other side’s shoulder.

“That’s because you usually demanded them.”

“Well, excuse me for having taste.”

“What smells devine?” Roman asked, popping up. “Oh, we’re just missing the microsoft nerd and we’ll be complete.”

“Roman.”

“Sorry Pat. We’re just missing Mr. Serious and then we’re a complete set.”

“It sounds as if you all do not have value unless I am around. A concept I can get behind,” Logan said, appearing behind Roman, giving both him and Virgil a shock.

“Jeez L, you know that scares the shit-”

“Swear jar,” Patton and Roman said at once

“-Out of me.” Virgil rolled his eyes at the pair. “Oh get off your high horse, Princy,” VIrgil said, getting up and putting a dollar in the jar.

“Neigh.” Roman said, causing the pun lovers (Patton and Janus) to giggle.

“Also, logan, don’t be mean. Apologise, you too Virge.”

“Sorry, Princy.” Virgil mumbled.

“I too am... sorry.”

“He doesn’t sound sorry,” Roman mumbled.

“Roman-”

“Sorry teach.” There was a brief silence before the timer went off.

“Oh, brownies are done!” Patton said.

And twenty minutes later, with each side setting up the common room for a movie night, each with a warm drink - Patton, Janus and Roman going for some herbal tea, Logan and Virgil going for coffee (decaf, or Patton may kill them) - and a brownie in hand.

“Hey guys!” Patton said. They all turned their attention. “I guess now would be the best time - I Loaf you guys!” Virgil and Logan groaned while the other two giggled.

“Damn Janus, these are good brownies.”

“Yes, I missed these so much. You have to make them, like, everyday.” Janus laughed at Virgil.

“Maybe.”

“Ugh, don’t play like that.” Janus just rolled his eyes.

“So, what are we watching?”

"Well, I know we're not watching Mulan again, that's for sure," Virgil said

"I also agree. After the third time, it becomes redundant."

"Your both spoilsports."

"Come on, Roman, kiddo, how about another movie?"

"I vote Black Cauldron."

"I second that. No songs."

"Your both no fun!"

"What about Hercules?" Janus offered.

"The story is good, but if high inaccurate. First of all, Hercules was not Hera's song and was, in fact, a product of one of Zeus' affairs with a mortal called-"

"It's a kids movie, Lo, it's not that deep," Roman said.

"I second Hercules," Virgil said. "Hades' is my favourite."

-x-

By the time the credits rolled, Virgil had fallen asleep on his shoulder and Roman was fighting sleep. From where he was sitting, Janus couldn't tell if Logan was asleep or not, but he knew Patton was still awake. Patton got up from beside him and stretched before turning the TV off. He slowly shook Roman and put the boy's arm over his shoulder.

"Goodnight Janis, Virge, and Logan," he said and Janus heard Roman mumbled something similar. Logan got up next, stretching.

"Goodnight you two, I will see you in the morning." Janis nodded,

"Seeya." When it was just the two of them, Janus slowly shook Virgil awake.

"We should go to a real bed." Virgil nodded.

"You coming into my room?"

"If you'll have me."

"Always."

So yeah. that’s my au. If I offended anyone or used a term you feel uncomfortable with, plz lemme know and i’ll remove it or put a trigger warning up!

ok, so it’s still pretty bad, but ever heard of lying to yourself? Also, so sorry I haven’t posted in a while I’ve been working on something else.@royalsides. also, new tag for my art, Royalart

Hi guys! So I’ve been working on a new AU which I’ve dubbed the Cryptid AU! so far its still a work in progress, but progress is actually happening. I will try to get some character pics out soon, but I can tell you who/what I’ve got everyone as so far!

Patton is a Kelpie (the scottish myth, not the dog, sorry!)

Roman is a Pegasus

Logan is a Mothman

Dee is a wyvern

and last but most certainly not least,

Virgil is a human! 

Lil notes about Virgil though, he can actually talk to cryptids, like, they can understand humans but most humans (except Virgil) can’t understand them. Also Virgil’s one-legged because I thought that would be interesting. Uhh, feel free to ask me about this AU, I’d be more than happy to answer!

-Roma <3

It's the Snek Birthday!!
