Pairing: Purpled/snare flea
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Lethal Company AU, monster fucking (though less actual fucking and more just straight up oviposition), horror
Notes: so after watching Shoto play Lethal company last night I woke up with an Idea. I doubt it’s something Purpled (or Tubbo since he’s mentioned) would play but since every CC is playing it lately maybe they will? (Why did I think of making this Purpled specifically instead of one of those that have played? I dunno). But can’t my brain stop giving me ideas so I can finish some? (And of course, instead of being short my brain runs away with it)
I debated several endings, so I hope this one works
“That was easy.” Grayson told Toby as they entered the small break room after their three day shift together. The rest of their crew had decided to go back to their rooms, but the pair of them decided they needed a drink.
“Easy?” Toby snorted, shaking his head as he grabbed a pair of beers from.the fridge, handing one to Grayson as they set down. “You’re fucking crazy, 5up almost died.”
“Almost died.” Grayson repeated, taking the can and popping the tab, taking a long swig. The stuff tasted awful and he wished the company could at least have the decency to get them the good stuff. “We didn’t lose anyone this time and no one was seriously hurt so yeah, I call that easy.”
As he spoke Toby took a long drink from his own can, making a face at the taste before giving him a look like he was crazy. “Well if it was easy as you say it was only because we stuck close together.”
Grayson shrugged, taking another drink from his can. “I could’ve handled it on my own without you guys. That’s how easy it was.”
Toby looked at him like he’d grown an extra head. “There ain’t no way you could’ve done that alone.” He paused and his lip quirked into a slight smirk. “If you’re so confident wanna bet on it?”
“A bet?” He raised an eyebrow and he could instantly feel his competitive side becoming piqued with interest. “What sort of a bet?” He asked as he set the can on the table, giving the other man his full and complete attention.
“It’s simple, you prove how easy this all is by going on a solo mission. Three days, all by yourself. You win if you make a profit, and survive of course.” Toby’s smirk grew more noticeable. “That is unless you’re too much of a pussy to even try.”
“Fuck off.” Grayson gave him an irritated look, the mere implication making his blood boil. “I’ll do it, but a bet needs stakes so what did you have in mind?”
Toby thought for a moment, taking another long swig from the can before speaking again. “I’m so confident that you’ll fail that if you win you can fuck my ass.” Grayson raised his eyebrow again at that, his interest increasing even more. He knew that Toby fucked several people that they had been teamed with, but from what he had gathered he had always been the top, regardless of what the other person might have looked like. So it was entirely possible that Toby’s ass was virgin territory, which was quite the prize indeed.
“And if I lose?”
Toby shrugged, leaning back in his chair. “Depends if you come back. If you do I get to fuck you, if I don’t I get all your stuff.” The thought of getting fucked held no appeal to him, certainly not from Toby who’s dick had been in everyone but that didn’t really matter because there was no way he was going to lose.
“It’s a bet.” He stuck out his hand and Toby took it, shaking it.
This was going to be so easy.

Day 1
Grayson had to admit the trip to the first destination was a little strange being alone. It was so quiet without other people on the ship with him, but he had to admit that he preferred it. He liked to be alone anyway when he could, preferring his own company to others so the silence was preferable.
Once the ship arrived he got into his work spacesuit and before heading outside. The destination was an old factory workshop, long since abandoned and that was noticeable when he got a good look at the place. There were gaps in the walls, broken windows and he got see part of the roof had caved in. He didn’t have much hope that he’d find anything valuable but hopefully there would be something here.
Despite there being so much damage to the exterior he found that it was dark inside. Sighing behind his mask, he turned his flashlight on and began his search, making sure to do a scan whenever he entered a new room. He didn’t expect to find anything close to the door, even though there wasn’t a recent scavenger team reported these were the rooms that would naturally be searched first. He was proven right when all he found in there were useless junk, broken machinery and debris.
He would never admit it to anyone of course, but he had jumped when his flashlight caught one of the broken things, casting a shadow that enough like one of the mannequin creatures that it had startled him. He knew if he had been in a group and he’d gasped like that over an open comm he’d never have heard the end of it, so he was grateful he was alone.
Grayson went further into the building, cursing when one route ended in a bridge over a gap that had been broken. The annoyance quickly turned into relief as he noticed something moving through the other doorway, though he couldn’t see what it was exactly.
At the end of a thorough search of the place he had turned up a few things of not. A piece of damaged scanning gear, no doubt left by a recent scavenger though no body was with it so he assumed they made it out, he’d also found a few pieces of factory equipment that the scanner marked as worth taking and a silver ring, that he’d only caught because his light made it glitter.
All in all for a first day he’d done rather well and felt pleased with himself. After packing his finds away he set the ship for the next destination, then removed his suit to rest.
***
Day 2
As the ship made its way to the second planet, he took a few moments to look over the details on his destination. From what he could tell it was a warehouse, that had been abandoned after a severe flood which had caused a lot of damage and resulted in a lot of deaths of the workers.
Grayson rolled his eyes as he read that, despairing at how the company hadn’t even bothered to a proper survey of the planets terrain, which would have surely avoided such an issue. No doubt it was a result of someone cutting corners, but it baffled him how people could be so shortsighted and stupid.
Once he suited up and went outside he found that, while the floodwaters had receded the whole area surrounding the building was boggy. He sighed in annoyance as he realised that meant trudging through the mud just to get to the entrance.
There was no avoiding it, so he just decided he’d have to bear it, climbing off the ship and making his way towards the building. At first it didn’t seem so bad, the mud only squelching around his feet, but about half way he sank down further into the mud. Thankfully it only went up to his knees, but it slowed him down a lot and he didn’t look forward to the return journey.
When he stood before the door he looked down on himself, feeling disgusted by the sight of himself covered in so much mud. He was just glad he couldn’t smell it through his mask and made a note to shower tonight and put a new suit on tomorrow. Hopefully this would be worth the effort.
Once inside he found that the building was, like yesterday’s dark, only this time it was also damp as well. He looked in the rooms near the entrance, but everything was predictably damaged and useless. He was relieved when he found a stairwell after a few rooms, because he figured he would have more luck finding something on higher ground.
He ascended the stairs as high as he could, which was two floors up and the rooms up here seemed to have fared better than the ones on the ground level. These rooms seemed to have been offices and he found a few pieces of equipment that his scanner identified as useful.
After gathering a few things from the various rooms he went out on a gantry, with more stairs leading to a lower level. He made sure to flash his light over the space, which were rows and rows of shelving units. Or at least they were, most of them had collapsed, leaving their contents scattered over the ground. He considered going down there to check through them to see if any of it might be salvageable, but he instantly discarded that thought as his light caught sight of something else.
It was the head of a coil-head.
Thankfully the creature was far away and facing a different direction, but he didn’t want to take the risk of it spotting him. He backed away through the doorway, only turning away from it since the door was closed behind him.
Grayson knew that where there was one of those things there would likely be more, so he decided it was best to leave with what he had.
***
Day 3
Grayson couldn’t help but feel smug as he made his way to the third and final planet of his tour. He’d already made enough to meet the company’s necessary quota, so he had already won. Whatever he made on third planet was a bonus.
As he sat in his seat waiting for the ship to land he thought more about the bet he’d made with Toby. He now definitely thought he should have upped the stakes a bit. As nice a prize as fucking him was going to be, it wasn’t a tangible trophy that he could keep and look at after. He should have gotten Toby to add that precious speeder of his, that would have made an equally satisfying prize.
He didn’t have much time to think on it though, as the ship touched down with a soft bump.
Grayson looked at the computer terminal to see what it said about what to expect, then he started to put his clean suit on. The planet was dubbed LN-52, not much of a name really, and what awaited him was a jungle world with a casino built in a clearing among the trees. Personally he didn’t see the appeal of building a casino in such a place and that was apparently the thinking of the investors as well, as the building wasn’t even finished.
Since some of the files were redacted he had a feeling that there was more to it than that. Maybe there were structural issues caused by the jungle, or more likely, some sort of creatures out there.
For a moment Grayson considered just staying on the ship, after all he didn’t need to go inside there to win so he could just relax in the small ship instead. But no, he was here so he may as well see what was out there. After all it was a matter of pride, if he got profits from every day that would be something else to rub on Toby’s face.
He hit the button to open the door, then stepped outside into the humid jungle. Despite his suit he felt the wave of heat hit him as soon as he left the ship, though the suit’s temperature regulation automatically kicked in to dissipate it almost immediately.
Grayson started to walk towards the main building of the casino complex, taking in the sight of it. It really did look impressive, several stories tall with large windows and beautiful ornamentation. It was obvious that it wasn’t finished, mostly because a large section of the roof wasn’t completed, leaving a large gap in it. He suspected that meant that there would be some wildlife within, so all he could do was hope that it wasn’t hostile or easily avoidable.
He pushed open one of the large doors, stepping into the building.
It was very different to the other places he’d been so far. While those rooms had been fairly small and cramped due to all the debris and ruined machinery, this was a much larger, more impressive space. While it was clear it had never been finished, there was still some signs of its intended use around the place. There were roulette tables, a few slot machines and an area that was clearly a bar.
Alas it was clear the latter hadn’t been stocked, but that didn’t stop him from going over to check to be absolutely sure. He sighed when he saw there wasn’t a single bottle, nor were there any glasses either. Maybe that was for the best, considering how long this place had been abandoned and the climate he doubted it would’ve been safe anyway.
He stepped away from the bar and did a quick scan of the place. For the most part there was nothing of any value, but he decided to get closer to the slot machines just in case any of their electronics were intact.
As soon as he got close he saw that most of them had open casings. It was hard to tell if they were open because they were unfinished or because someone else had gotten here before he had. Maybe it was. A mix of both. “Fuck.”
He decided it would be best to just try somewhere else.
Grayson headed up the fancy staircase at the back for the room, deciding that it would be best to check the upper floor.
He checked some of the rooms, but the first he saw were completely unfurnished. It wasn’t really much of a surprise, though it did mean it did seem like this was a waste of time. He did some tools in one of them, which the scanner deemed valuable enough to be worth taking. That meant it wasn’t a total loss, but it felt pretty close.
He was tempted to head down here but he saw that one room had been fitted with a door. Deciding it was worth a look he pushed it open and peered inside. Unlike the others this was room was at least semi furnished, with desks and around the room with some damaged computers and screens. If he had to guess he’d say this room had been used as some form of office while construction had been going.
He used his scanner and it seemed like none of tech was in a state that was worth taking. He did take down a starchart down from a wall, even if it wasn’t valuable on its on he could at least clean it up for his own space. He was about to give up and head back down when he heard movement from behind him. He froze for a moment, then slowly turned around to see what was there but he saw… nothing. Maybe he was hearing things, or maybe it was just the wind, but he decided, just to be safe, that it was best to get out of here.
Grayson around the desks to head out of the room when he heard more movement. He barely had any time to react as something jumped from under the desk, lunging towards his face. He was able to bring his arms up, but the force of it made him stumble backwards, making him lose his footing as the back of his legs caught a chair.
He fell to the floor, cursing under his breath and he caught sight of his assailant. He recognised the creature right away from other reports, from other crews as a snare flea. If he was being honest he didn’t understand the name and thought whoever decided it was an idiot as the creature didn’t look like a flea at all. In fact it looked more like a massive cockroach, which was incredibly unsettling to say the least.
He took out one of the tools he’d found, a screwdriver which he held up towards the creature. “Stay the fuck away from me!” He growled at it as he reached for the chair with his other hand, planning on using it to help him stand.
The creature just made a chittering sound before lunging at him again with such a force it knocked the screwdriver out of his hand, sending it clattering across the floor. It was on his face, its mandibles slashing at his suit, trying to tear it open. He struggled under it, trying to get it off, but it was stronger than it appeared. He cried out as it ripped through the bright orange suit, catching his skin.
These suits were supposed to protect them, why wasn’t it doing its job?
With a sudden burst of adrenaline he was able to shove it off him and he struggled to his feet. He felt sharp pain, both in his legs from where he’d feel but also the fresh wounds that the bug had caught him. “Fuck you!” He snarled at the creature, still where it had landed a few feet away and then he ran out of the door.
Another one was right outside and it reared up, jumping for his face before he could react.again he was faced by another bug trying to tear at his suit and he flailed at it, trying to dislodge it from his body. The insects shell was too hard to grab and hitting it only seemed to make it angrier. It’s chittering filled his ears and it only got worse once it wrapped around his throat.
The creature started to squeeze tightly and he found himself gasping for air almost immediately, he tried to dislodge it again with his hands, but that only seemed to make it squeeze tight, his vision becoming blurry and dark. He felt himself lose his footing again and, although he tried to land in a way that would hurt it, he fell on his back.
The last thing he heard before his vision went blank was the beep of his wrist monitor, which meant that the ship had detected his failing life signs and was going to leave without him.
***
Grayson awoke with a groan and to his dismay he wasn’t in his bunk on the ship or back home. Instead the heat and the humid air hit him and it made him realise he was on the planet still.
As he became more conscious he realised more things that meant his situation was worse. First he realised that his protective suit had been torn off, leaving him in just his underwear. While that alone was enough to fill him with horror, he also realised he was a completely different room, evidenced by the soft soil that was under him. That filled him with disgust and he tried to move, hoping he could get up and get out of here, or at least to somewhere safer.
However he found that, while he wanted to move, his limbs weren’t responding. Panic set in, making his heart race and that was exacerbated by the fact that he could hear movement around him.
The only part of his body he could move were his eyes and he could see that there were more of those large bugs around him, communicating with those disconcerting sounds.
He tried to remember what he’d read about the creatures, to work out whatever was going to happen to him. He knew that the snare flea was supposed to choke you until you passed out, which he could now confirm, but there was nothing on what happened next. He guessed it was assumed that they just killed their victims but it seemed that wasn’t the case.
So why was he alive?
He guessed he would soon find out, as one of the creatures approached him. It seemed to be bigger than the others and his heart sank as it crawled over him. Some of its limbs were on his face and he hated the feeling of them, the strange texture making him wince. That became worse as they found his mouth, slipping between his lips and prising them apart.
Grayson didn’t know why it would want his mouth open wide, but nothing about this felt even remotely good. Something appeared from the creature’s body and he was hesitant to say it was a cock but it was certainly the right shape.
The creature pressed down and it pushed between his lips. Wanted to move away, hating the foul taste of it as well as the sensation of his mouth being filled but he couldn’t do anything to stop it. Even if he wasn’t immobilised, the wait of it and its limbs holding his head would mean he couldn’t do anything.
After a few moments he felt something spray into his mouth. It tasted even more foul than the creature’s appendage and he wanted to throw it up, but he couldn’t find manage it.
The first disgusting liquid was followed by something else filling his mouth. This wasn’t a liquid, it felt like a lot of small, squishy balls. Grayson wasn’t an expert in biology, but even he could tell that those balls weren’t balls at all but eggs and his eyes went wide with horror.
The stream of eggs filling his throat and mouth went on for what felt like forever, and Grayson felt tears spill from his eyes. He felt disgusted, violated and he wished that he could push it away and vomit them all out of his mouth.
Eventually it withdrew and then it pushed his lips back closed before spraying something over them, sealing his mouth and leaving him there to cry there on the dirt.
***
He wasn’t sure how long he had been lying there, but after his mouth had been filled the creatures had left him alone. He’d hoped that sleep would take him, but instead he’d spent the whole time laying there, immobile and completely conscious, unable even to sleep.
This whole thing felt like a nightmare, one that he hoped that he would wake from. He hoped that he would wake up in his bunk, far away from here and discover that this whole thing was a horrific dream his mind had conjured up to torment him.
Another one of the large creatures appeared, seeming to take notice of him and it crawled towards him. He could tell that it was looking at him, even though he couldn’t tell where its eyes were, if it even had eyes.
It used its limbs on him, pushing his legs wide apart and he had a sinking feeling in his chest. That was confirmed when it rolled him onto his belly and tore his underwear off.
Grayson had never had anything inside himself and the thought of this creature being what violated him filled him with even more revulsion and horror.
He felt it spread his cheeks, then something forced its way into him. The stretch of it hurt him, fresh tears filling his eyes, both at the pain and humiliation of it all. This one felt bigger than the one that had filled his mouth earlier, but it seemed to do the same as the first one.
It sprayed fluid deep in his ass which stung his insides, then that was followed by more of the eggs. The whole thing didn’t take long and he supposed he should be grateful for that, that it didn’t fuck him into the dirt and make it longer.
After it sprayed something on his hole the creature moved away, leaving him lying there again.
***
Grayson wasn’t sure how long he lay there, having lost all track of time. Largely the creatures didn’t pay him any attention. When they did though, it was to inject him with something. He wasn’t sure what it was, but sometimes it made him sleep, other times it made him feel… he wasn’t sure how to describe it.
It seemed to him that whatever it was injecting him with was to keep him alive as he didn’t feel hungry or thirsty. At this point he hated that, wishing that they would just let him die. That would be preferable to this hell.
As he fell unconscious from a fresh injection he hoped that he would never wake up.
***
“Grayson? Grayson are you ok?” He stirred awake from the sound of a voice and when he stirred he saw a figure above him, wearing a bright orange suit. “Oh thank fuck!”
He recognised the voice as Toby and he felt groggy as he slowly came to his senses, though he couldn’t find it in himself to speak.
“You’re on LN-52. We had to do some backtracking to find you but I’m glad I convinced the company to go back for you.”
Something about that didn’t feel right be he ignored the feeling in his stomach. “After all the company couldn’t leave behind a prize like you.” He wasn’t sure what that meant. He was a great worker sure, easily the best on his team but he didn’t see why the company would consider him a prize.
Toby reached down, running his fingers along his throat, tailing it down to his chest. “After all, you have some much life growing inside of you.”
Those words made Grayson’s eyes widen and he realised that he was still immobile, still having that thing covering his mouth, still filled with eggs.
What was worse was that from Toby’s words he wasn’t there to save him, quite the opposite.
Toby chuckled softly, looking off to the side and Grayson saw someone else was there. “Sedate him and get him in the status pod, we wouldn’t want the precious cargo to get everywhere would we.”
Grayson wanted to scream, but instead he felt something get injected into his arm and then everything went black.

It was obvious that it wasn’t finished, mostly because a large section of the roof wasn’t completed, leaving a large gap in it. He suspected that meant that there would be some wildlife within, so all he could do was hope that it wasn’t hostile or easily avoidable.
He pushed open one of the large doors, stepping into the building.
It was very different to the other places he’d been so far. While those rooms had been fairly small and cramped due to all the debris and ruined machinery, this was a much larger, more impressive space. While it was clear it had never been finished, there was still some signs of its intended use around the place. There were roulette tables, a few slot machines and an area that was clearly a bar.
Alas it was clear the latter hadn’t been stocked, but that didn’t stop him from going over to check to be absolutely sure. He sighed when he saw there wasn’t a single bottle, nor were there any glasses either. Maybe that was for the best, considering how long this place had been abandoned and the climate he doubted it would’ve been safe anyway.
He stepped away from the bar and did a quick scan of the place. For the most part there was nothing of any value, but he decided to get closer to the slot machines just in case any of their electronics were intact.
As soon as he got close he saw that most of them had open casings. It was hard to tell if they were open because they were unfinished or because someone else had gotten here before he had. Maybe it was. A mix of both. “Fuck.”
He decided it would be best to just try somewhere else.
Grayson headed up the fancy staircase at the back for the room, deciding that it would be best to check the upper floor.
He checked some of the rooms, but the first he saw were completely unfurnished. It wasn’t really much of a surprise, though it did mean it did seem like this was a waste of time. He did some tools in one of them, which the scanner deemed valuable enough to be worth taking. That meant it wasn’t a total loss, but it felt pretty close.
He was tempted to head down here but he saw that one room had been fitted with a door. Deciding it was worth a look he pushed it open and peered inside. Unlike the others this was room was at least semi furnished, with desks and around the room with some damaged computers and screens. If he had to guess he’d say this room had been used as some form of office while construction had been going.
He used his scanner and it seemed like none of tech was in a state that was worth taking. He did take down a starchart down from a wall, even if it wasn’t valuable on its on he could at least clean it up for his own space. He was about to give up and head back down when he heard movement from behind him. He froze for a moment, then slowly turned around to see what was there but he saw… nothing. Maybe he was hearing things, or maybe it was just the wind, but he decided, just to be safe, that it was best to get out of here.
Grayson around the desks to head out of the room when he heard more movement. He barely had any time to react as something jumped from under the desk, lunging towards his face. He was able to bring his arms up, but the force of it made him stumble backwards, making him lose his footing as the back of his legs caught a chair.
He fell to the floor, cursing under his breath and he caught sight of his assailant. He recognised the creature right away from other reports, from other crews as a snare flea. If he was being honest he didn’t understand the name and thought whoever decided it was an idiot as the creature didn’t look like a flea at all. In fact it looked more like a massive cockroach, which was incredibly unsettling to say the least.
He took out one of the tools he’d found, a screwdriver which he held up towards the creature. “Stay the fuck away from me!” He growled at it as he reached for the chair with his other hand, planning on using it to help him stand.
The creature just made a chittering sound before lunging at him again with such a force it knocked the screwdriver out of his hand, sending it clattering across the floor. It was on his face, its mandibles slashing at his suit, trying to tear it open. He struggled under it, trying to get it off, but it was stronger than it appeared. He cried out as it ripped through the bright orange suit, catching his skin.
These suits were supposed to protect them, why wasn’t it doing its job?
With a sudden burst of adrenaline he was able to shove it off him and he struggled to his feet. He felt sharp pain, both in his legs from where he’d feel but also the fresh wounds that the bug had caught him. “Fuck you!” He snarled at the creature, still where it had landed a few feet away and then he ran out of the door.
Another one was right outside and it reared up, jumping for his face before he could react.again he was faced by another bug trying to tear at his suit and he flailed at it, trying to dislodge it from his body. The insects shell was too hard to grab and hitting it only seemed to make it angrier. It’s chittering filled his ears and it only got worse once it wrapped around his throat.
The creature started to squeeze tightly and he found himself gasping for air almost immediately, he tried to dislodge it again with his hands, but that only seemed to make it squeeze tight, his vision becoming blurry and dark. He felt himself lose his footing again and, although he tried to land in a way that would hurt it, he fell on his back.
The last thing he heard before his vision went blank was the beep of his wrist monitor, which meant that the ship had detected his failing life signs and was going to leave without him.
***
Grayson awoke with a groan and to his dismay he wasn’t in his bunk on the ship or back home. Instead the heat and the humid air hit him and it made him realise he was on the planet still.
As he became more conscious he realised more things that meant his situation was worse. First he realised that his protective suit had been torn off, leaving him in just his underwear. While that alone was enough to fill him with horror, he also realised he was a completely different room, evidenced by the soft soil that was under him. That filled him with disgust and he tried to move, hoping he could get up and get out of here, or at least to somewhere safer.
However he found that, while he wanted to move, his limbs weren’t responding. Panic set in, making his heart race and that was exacerbated by the fact that he could hear movement around him.
The only part of his body he could move were his eyes and he could see that there were more of those large bugs around him, communicating with those disconcerting sounds.
He tried to remember what he’d read about the creatures, to work out whatever was going to happen to him. He knew that the snare flea was supposed to choke you until you passed out, which he could now confirm, but there was nothing on what happened next. He guessed it was assumed that they just killed their victims but it seemed that wasn’t the case.
So why was he alive?
He guessed he would soon find out, as one of the creatures approached him. It seemed to be bigger than the others and his heart sank as it crawled over him. Some of its limbs were on his face and he hated the feeling of them, the strange texture making him wince. That became worse as they found his mouth, slipping between his lips and prising them apart.
Grayson didn’t know why it would want his mouth open wide, but nothing about this felt even remotely good. Something appeared from the creature’s body and he was hesitant to say it was a cock but it was certainly the right shape.
The creature pressed down and it pushed between his lips. Wanted to move away, hating the foul taste of it as well as the sensation of his mouth being filled but he couldn’t do anything to stop it. Even if he wasn’t immobilised, the wait of it and its limbs holding his head would mean he couldn’t do anything.
After a few moments he felt something spray into his mouth. It tasted even more foul than the creature’s appendage and he wanted to throw it up, but he couldn’t find manage it.
The first disgusting liquid was followed by something else filling his mouth. This wasn’t a liquid, it felt like a lot of small, squishy balls. Grayson wasn’t an expert in biology, but even he could tell that those balls weren’t balls at all but eggs and his eyes went wide with horror.
The stream of eggs filling his throat and mouth went on for what felt like forever, and Grayson felt tears spill from his eyes. He felt disgusted, violated and he wished that he could push it away and vomit them all out of his mouth.
Eventually it withdrew and then it pushed his lips back closed before spraying something over them, sealing his mouth and leaving him there to cry there on the dirt.
***
He wasn’t sure how long he had been lying there, but after his mouth had been filled the creatures had left him alone. He’d hoped that sleep would take him, but instead he’d spent the whole time laying there, immobile and completely conscious, unable even to sleep.
This whole thing felt like a nightmare, one that he hoped that he would wake from. He hoped that he would wake up in his bunk, far away from here and discover that this whole thing was a horrific dream his mind had conjured up to torment him.
Another one of the large creatures appeared, seeming to take notice of him and it crawled towards him. He could tell that it was looking at him, even though he couldn’t tell where its eyes were, if it even had eyes.
It used its limbs on him, pushing his legs wide apart and he had a sinking feeling in his chest. That was confirmed when it rolled him onto his belly and tore his underwear off.
Grayson had never had anything inside himself and the thought of this creature being what violated him filled him with even more revulsion and horror.
He felt it spread his cheeks, then something forced its way into him. The stretch of it hurt him, fresh tears filling his eyes, both at the pain and humiliation of it all. This one felt bigger than the one that had filled his mouth earlier, but it seemed to do the same as the first one.
It sprayed fluid deep in his ass which stung his insides, then that was followed by more of the eggs. The whole thing didn’t take long and he supposed he should be grateful for that, that it didn’t fuck him into the dirt and make it longer.
After it sprayed something on his hole the creature moved away, leaving him lying there again.
***
Grayson wasn’t sure how long he lay there, having lost all track of time. Largely the creatures didn’t pay him any attention. When they did though, it was to inject him with something. He wasn’t sure what it was, but sometimes it made him sleep, other times it made him feel… he wasn’t sure how to describe it.
It seemed to him that whatever it was injecting him with was to keep him alive as he didn’t feel hungry or thirsty. At this point he hated that, wishing that they would just let him die. That would be preferable to this hell.
As he fell unconscious from a fresh injection he hoped that he would never wake up.
***
“Grayson? Grayson are you ok?” He stirred awake from the sound of a voice and when he stirred he saw a figure above him, wearing a bright orange suit. “Oh thank fuck!”
He recognised the voice as Toby and he felt groggy as he slowly came to his senses, though he couldn’t find it in himself to speak.
“You’re on LN-52. We had to do some backtracking to find you but I’m glad I convinced the company to go back for you.”
Something about that didn’t feel right be he ignored the feeling in his stomach. “After all the company couldn’t leave behind a prize like you.” He wasn’t sure what that meant. He was a great worker sure, easily the best on his team but he didn’t see why the company would consider him a prize.
Toby reached down, running his fingers along his throat, tailing it down to his chest. “After all, you have some much life growing inside of you.”
Those words made Grayson’s eyes widen and he realised that he was still immobile, still having that thing covering his mouth, still filled with eggs.
What was worse was that from Toby’s words he wasn’t there to save him, quite the opposite.
Toby chuckled softly, looking off to the side and Grayson saw someone else was there. “Sedate him and get him in the status pod, we wouldn’t want the precious cargo to get everywhere would we.”
Grayson wanted to scream, but instead he felt something get injected into his arm and then everything went black.

Date: 2023-11-26 11:04 pm (UTC)as someone who has never played this game and knew nothing about it other than OOH THAT LIVING MANNEQUIN IS KINDA....... YOU DEFINITElY MADE ME SUPER INVESTED IN THE WORLD HOLY SHIT like space stuff is usually not so easy to grasp for me for some reason, like idk im shit with sciencey type stuff so trying to watch star wars makes me like WTF ARE THEY EVEN SAYING and i can't follow it LMFAO but the way you described it here was the perfect mix of digestible but also SO MYSTERIOUS AND U BUILT SUCH GOOD SUSPENSE like I said on discord it felt like watching a movie!!!! i enjoyed following purpled's missions even before BUGS HAPPENED bc it was so interesting and cool!!!! i am once again saying that UR SO GOOD AT NON SMUT WRITING TOO IDK I CAN SEE U AS AN ADVENTURE OR SCIFI WRITER EASILY!!!!!
I ALSO LOVED THE INTRO SCENE THAT WAS SO PERFECTLY PURPLED AND TUBBO I LOVE TUBBO HERE HES SUCH A LITTLE SHIT AND ITS PERFECT. i also liked that he turned out to be PRETTY MUCH EVIL like it was totally believable for his character BUT AT THE SAME TIME I DID NOT SEE IT COMING AT ALL like u genuinely had me believing he was actually there to save purpled in the end LMFAOOOO
BUGS BUGS BUGS BUGS BUGS AAAAAA IM SUCH A HUGE FAN OF THE FIGHT SCENE??????? I LITERALLY DONT KNOW HOW PPL WRITE FIGHT SCENES IVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO IT but urs was so realistic but also super intense aaa!!!!! i totally felt the despair of purpled by the end and it was DELICIOUS oh man there is absolutely NOTHING quite as good as seeing the spirit of purpled bedwars specifically get crushed IT IS SATISFYING ASF
I LOVE THAT THE EGGS WERE LAYED INTO HIS MOUTH FIRST IDKY BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THAT HIT JUST RIGHT!!!!!!!! and I like that both times it was very nonsexual like he didn't end up enjoying it or reacting positively at all, IM SUCH A HUGE FAN OF THAT CHOICE. and even the creature didn't seem to be like into it or anything just gotta drop my eggs in here and then fuck you im out. LMFAO AND THAT YOU HAD HIM FORCED TO LAY THERE FOR THAT LONG AMOUNT OF TIME IMMOBILE AND UNABLE TO EVEN SLEEP!!!!!!!

ALWAYS LOVE HOW U WRITE CREATURES TOO like it's not easy to really portray something that doesn't speak at all but IDK ALL UR CREATURE GUYS FEEL SO REAL TO ME like these bugs are completely different from mothman, idk its just so cool how u can show that much characterisation to something completely nonhuman!!!!

Date: 2023-11-26 11:39 pm (UTC)I’ve not played it either so I might have stuff wrong (I dunno if I’d play it personally it seems more fun to watch unless you have others) but seeing everyone stream it and all the creatures is kinda👀I always love space stuff obviously cause I’m a nerdy but writing it can be tricky cause of all that stuff! Awww thank you! That’s so very sweet of you to say! When I originally had the idea I just figured it’d be the last day, but then my mind decided to build it up instead oop. And aww thank! 🖤 I dunno if I could be but that’s so sweet
(Side note? I wrote this all in a day because the idea just wouldn’t leave me)
Ahhh thank! Yeah I had the image of Tubbo setting him that challenge and Purpled taking him up on it because Purpled! In fact that and the bugs was the only thing in mind I had clearly when I started this.
Also it feels odd mentioning the end in the middle of the comment but that ending wasn’t planned at all! The original ending was the bugs eating him from the inside on the planet. Then I thought of him being rescued and the eggs hatching on the way back/at the base. So when I started that scene Tubbo was genuinely rescuing him, but then I had the sudden thought of making this happen instead (probably inspired by Alien) and it just👀
Yeah! I saw giant bug and thought 👀👀👀 oh me either fights are so tricky to do! I just write them and hope for the best. But yeah him being so crushed was just👀👀
The description of the creature mentioned suffocation and I just thought ‘eggs in throat’ so I noted that down. It was gonna be more sexual when I first came up with it but when I got to it I just thought do this instead. So I’m glad it worked! Yeah I figured it injected things into him to give him conscious, you know just to be cruel! And 😏😏 he would hate that so many
Oh thank you, I dunno what it is about him that’s so easy to grasp, so I’m so glad you think so! It definitely felt like a thing that He specifically would do, and it was fun to have him be all cocky right before his downfall. And yeah to him winning is everything! Even more than getting Tubbo👀 and yeah that’s true!
Oh thank you! Yeah it can be tricky to write something that can’t communicate directly so I’m always glad it works out! I think doing mothman recently helped, but they’re so different as well!
Aww thank you! Hats so sweet of you to say ahhhh I’m so glad!

Date: 2023-11-27 02:13 pm (UTC)I really liked the sort of uneasiness in the ship, whilst Grayson prefers his own company so was probably "happier" to be alone, there's also this vibe that something isn't quite right, somehow. And then the further uneasiness whilst exploring the planets, especially the more expansive third one after what he'd seen on the second planet.
And then when the bug things attacked him oh yes 😏👀 I loved the mention of the ship noticing signs of failing life and subsequently leaving, meaning he was trapped with those creatures and entirely alone. Maybe Grayson doesn't prefer being on his own so much any more!
Can I say laying the eggs down his throat was a nice touch? Made it a bit different than the usual oviposition. Not that there's anything wrong with that mind, as I also enjoyed the 'regular' bit just after as well. Gotta fill him up in both holes lol
And then the ending! It's almost like Toby wanted him to go there to get impregnated with the eggs? 👀 Very intrigued at how it ended!!
no subject
Date: 2023-11-27 03:14 pm (UTC)Yeah! I figured there’d be a sense of unease anyway on these missions, but even more so because Grayson’s alone which naturally makes things more uneasy.
Yeah exactly! I saw the bugs the other day as someone was playing and looked for a pic and was like ‘I need to do something with them’ (why I chose Grayson over one of the people that actually played…) but yeah they ship leaving like that is something I’ve actually seen happen in the game! So I knew I had to include it😏
Yeah of course! When I read the wiki and saw they attack people to suffocate them I noted ‘lay eggs in throat’ so I’m glad I did it😏👀 You’re so right though it was good to do something different
The ending was gonna be him having the eggs hatch and eat him from the inside. That how I intended it to end…l right up until I got there. Then I had the image of him being rescued, only for the eggs to hatch in the base. But then as I wrote it I just had this image and had to change it
It definitely feels like it fits that the company would be like the one in Alien, wanting someone to get turned into an incubator for creature eggs. 😏👀 but at the same time it’s also kinda vague in that was Toby’s bet genuine or did he intentionally set it as bait? 👀
no subject
Date: 2023-11-27 05:11 pm (UTC)What does it look like? I'm curious :) And hahaha the fact the ship just flies away in game, incredible.
Well if they suffocate people then surely laying eggs in the throat is the next logical conclusion, heh. Or maybe it didn't know what hole to put the eggs in so it put them in both.
Ohhh I like that thought of them bursting out from the inside, I love eggs coming out in a non standard way. It's why I did that in my fic of it happening to the traitor :P
Yeah the vagueness works. You can come to your own decision about whether Tony set him up or if it was just bad luck!!
PS You should write eggs hatching out of a stomach at some point

Date: 2023-11-27 05:54 pm (UTC)I can’t find a good pic of the ship alas! It’s kinda boxy, with one big main room inside, then a gantry around the outside and wheels/boosters underneath. Yeah!
Of course😏😏
Yeah exactly! I definitely remembered that👀
Yeah! 😏
I’ll definitely have to! Like I said I hoped to in this so I might have to do it elsewhere!👀

True!
I just I suspect I will soon!
And funny thing, turns out Toby played it last night when I was sleeping and I found this clip 🦑
