Fandoms: Shoot From The Hip Sketches, Strong Belb flurry
04 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
"I mean, it's rough to be rejected," 008 tries. "And he's not bad looking!"
James thinks about how Strong Belb looks again. Bald, ginger beard, some muscles on him, 6'1 height, favors pink and pastels. He… sure is a human being, mhm.
"You're heartless," 008 huffs at his apparent apathy. "At least you could've let him down gently."
James curses at himself; he should really just act like he finds Strong Belb sexy or handsome or whatever and put and end to this conversation, but he's tired. And part of him thinks, spiteful and hurt, I don't owe him shit.
Or, fives times James tries to spell it out that he doesn't like Strong Belb, and the one time someone listens.

Gemma sees the first two words, and promptly crumples the piece of paper in her hand.
Then she smooths it out and scans it. Reads it again slowly, as her hands close into fists and leave their indents on the fragile paper.
Gemma takes out the trash.

Selected Tales from The Woods: The Witch and The Farmer by esse_writes
Fandoms: The Unrelenting Aubergine - Shoot From The Hip Sketch, Shoot From The Hip - Fandom

Summary
It doesn’t matter what the farmer’s name was, or what crops he farmed, or how many children he had, if he had any at all. It doesn't matter what the price was. It could be enchanted gold, souls or children for all we care. It doesn't matter if it was a farmer, if it was a man or a woman or a child. The witch could be a man too, what did it matter? Maybe the farmer wasn't a farmer at all, maybe he was a merchant, or a scholar, or a baron or lord or even king.
All that matters is this: there is always someone desperate, and there is always a witch, and people will always go into the woods with thoughts of love or wealth or fame or power in their head, and the witch will always ask for something in return.
Got it?
Or: the one wish that Titch never got to make, the one that Margaery refused to take, and the one that he finally made when everything's at stake.

Edwina’s mind gave up on her.
“Uh huh. That’s not very funny, Brettany, Halloween’s a month away.”
Brettany only looked at her with half-lidded dead eyes. Immediately, Edwina could feel the bubble tea in her hand trying to escape towards Brettany. Irritated, she tugged it back.
“See?” Brettany grinned, one hand now holding another drink, her own set on the floor. “Witch.”
Or, Edwina Chen, mostly ordinary high schooler, befriended an odd girl, found out she was a witch, and gained a cat.
