All Ezekiel Varas would remember was the ground rocketing towards him as his ship broke through the atmosphere. He could remember his thoughts having been about dooming himself to a fruitless exile, he was far from home, and upon the surface of this unforgiving world with no family or friends-he would die.
For an eternity he dwelled on those last moments; the sound of the metallic plasteel screeching as it was wrenched apart by heat and force, mixed with the klaxons of warnings and the automated voice that was not his own, became his lullaby. His calm resignation of impending death and the void that followed was what he set his principle on in this eternal abyss that was after death. But what stuck in his head was what he said just seconds before darkness overtook him, three simple words that he never thought he would’ve said until that moment. When despair should have gripped him. He remembered the kugelblitz and grinned as his lips parted, a challenge to the coming oblivion.
“I will survive.”

I’ve been playing A LOT of Destiny 2 lately, so what am I doing? I’m deciding to write some fanfiction of it while my schedule is cleared up. PM me if any of you guys are interested in updates as they come along. Hope of you are staying safe, healthy, and sane out there to the best of your abilities!
Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your day,

EDIT: I’m an idiot who doesn’t do proper tags… it’s 2:49 am, fuck it

In all honesty, I feel like this would be a place where the Awoken would hold a marriage ceremony or funeral. I really like how Bungie put together the Dreaming City, it actually feels like the place really is scared.

A prompt request via Ko-Fi for #13 Shaxx and the Guardian “You make me feel safe.”
"Guardian!“ Shaxx’s joy carries effortlessly from the dilapidated barn, across the Farm, to the small landing point where the Guardian is just finding their footing.
The Guardian grins and waves as the Titan crosses the space in only a few long strides.
"You’re a sight for sore eyes! I know you’ve only just arrived, but I hope you might allow me to impose on you.”
The Guardian nods. A strike, a supply run, intel gathering for the upcoming push to take back the City…whatever it is, the answer is yes. There’s very little they can’t imagine doing for the wall the man.
What the Guardian doesn’t expect, is to be swept into a bear hug. Armor doesn’t crack but it sure does groan and boots drift an inch or so above the ground. There isn’t an ounce of threat in the embrace, of course. If anything, the tightening of thick arms and the tilt of a mono-horned helmet is a desperate sort of plea to be somehow closer.
Rolling with the punches is sort of the Guardian’s M.O. so they loop their arms around Shaxx’s back- as far as they can manage anyway- and squeeze in return. It’s a good hug. Warm, dry, close….so maybe the Guardian hasn’t really experienced all that many hugs but…it feels nice.
After a moment of gentle swaying, Shaxx pats the Guardian’s back as they physically part and Shaxx sets the Guardian back on their feet.
"Thank you, Guardian.“
The emotion catches them off guard. Shaxx has always been big, bold, exuberant in joy or disappointment but he’s never sounded…fragile. Before the Guardian can ask if Shaxx is ok, the Crucible Master claps his hands on the Guardian’s shoulders and the tiny tremor vanishes from the Titan’s voice.
"I’m glad you are here! Everyone is feeling on edge today but your presence will let us breathe easier.” And then, with an earnest admission, “You make me feel safe.”
The Guardian stares at the mountain of a man in bewilderment. To imagine they could provide that sense of ease for Shaxx…then again, no matter the race or origin, no matter the size or strength or length of life, Guardians all have the capacity to feel the same emotions. The Guardian smiles and they hope the message is clear when they lay a hand on Shaxx’s gauntlet.
Anytime you need me.

“Kára, when I grow up I wanna be just like you!” Tora-9 continues Take Your Light Confidants. She has some misconceptions about what “growing up” means 🤖
40I rocketed into Anchor of Light just in time to see a Guardian hopping around at the end of their Toland patrol, apparently in furious argument with an orb
