Just make sure to tag anything for the event with #HIVEmber2024 ! Now go forth and have fun!

ok real talk who was doing it like shelby trinity. thirteen years old at villain school day one she invents the most over the top valley girl persona ever and is fully prepared to stick to the bit for the next six years. actively watching one of her best friends break his ribs and fight for his life and asked him to pick her up a vegetarian meal for the escape flight. one of her best friends has legitimate supernatural computer powers and a photographic memory and yet she keeps pace with him to the point where they’re basically neck and neck in class rankings. shot a guy in the knees because he double dog dared her to. world was ending boyfriend had been kidnapped and she was looking in the dictionary for the word ‘pregnable’ because of a one-off comment. legitimately spends more time stirring the pot between her roommate’s love life than she does on her own. mommy and daddy issues out the wazoo and we never hear about it because she’d rather be spying on the senior boys water polo practice and she does all of this with a cunty blonde ponytail and lockpicks in her shoes. actual girlboss i love herrrrr

Can you write something angsty between hero and villain? Also thank you for those lovely stories

"I know I failed you."

The hero sat with their back to the glass wall of the villain's cell; giving the villain what privacy inside it that they could.

The villain said nothing.

"You asked me for my help," the hero said, "and I failed you. I was too distracted with other things. As if - as if they were more important."

"Weren't they?"

"They shouldn't have been."

"Not what I asked."

"No."

They heard the villain's footsteps behind them, saw the shadow of them stretching against the floor until it loomed across them from behind and cast the hero in its darkness.

"I'm just - I'm sorry," the hero said. "That's what I'm trying to say. I'm sorry."

"I imagine that's a lot easier to say when I'm in here."

Bile flooded the hero's mouth, defensive anger, but - the villain wasn't wrong.

"If you were really sorry," the villain continued, "you'd let me go."

"You know I can't do that."

"I know you won't do that."

"The power is eating you up from the inside out."

"So you're going to fail me again."

The hero squeezed their eyes shut, drawing in a steadying breath. They wrapped their arms a little tighter around their chest. They resisted the urge to turn. To look. To see.

"Unsurprising," the villain said. "You've been a disappointment all your life. Why kick the habit now?"

"I know you're angry-"

"-Gotta be the hero, gotta get everyone to love you, and maybe then you can trick them into thinking you're worth something."

"Stop it." The hero twisted to the glass.

The villain crouched at the hero's level, that power glowing in their eyes, brighter even than the hideous fluorescent lights always on in their cell. A cruel smile curled up their lips like a wisp of smoke. The traces of what the hero had loved slowly burning away. Then, just as suddenly, it was gone, flickering out.

All that was left was their friend. Exhausted. Paper-thin.

"Tell me they were more important things," the villain said. "Tell me that at least. Tell me you saved the goddamn world."

The hero placed one hand against the glass. The villain matched it.

"Tell me," the villain said. "Because the only thing worse than this, was that you let me drown for nothing."

"Not nothing."

But it wasn't enough. It didn't seem nearly enough.

"I-" the hero began.

The power flared again.

"Don't worry." Their friend was smothered beneath it; the light of them plunged kicking and thrashing into the churning waters of the magic. The villain tilted their head. "When I get out of here, and oh, I'll get out of here...you'll never fail anyone ever again. So save your apologies. " They stood up, abruptly, and turned away. "They're as worthless as your love ever was."
