SMUT ALERT! 18+. NSFW. You have been warned.

This is a ToM/SD3 Duran/Angela smut where Angela ties Duran to the bed.

It's a bit kinkier than what I normally write, but I've been wanting to write something like this for a while. There's a bit of foodplay, and generous praise of Duran's body. And teasing. And edging.

I do not like degradation, so I will never write anything like that. I also do not care for dom/sub dynamics, but I guess Angela is kinda... Gently femdomish in this? I don't know. These terms and their connotations don't make any sense to me. I just wanna write Duran and Angela passionately loving each other (and their bodies).

Look at how he holds this plushie. Look at the way it sits there.

how are we expected to harm these creatures? We trample through their homes while they're sleeping and get surprised when they don't like it!

I call for justice for Rabites. End the violence towards these creatures.

Ooh la la! It's another Trials of Mana/Seiken Densetsu 3 fic written by me, this time with Duran/Angela and Hawkeye/Riesz elements. Really going crazy here, aren't I? Golly. Nobody kisses in this story, though.

It's a humorous story where Angela prepares for a little private party with Duran. I don't want to say too much about it, but Kevin is in it. People like Kevin, I think. And Karl. Charlotte appears too, in aww of hew gwowy. Oh, and Hawkeye and Riesz of course...

Thank you. If you decide to read it, I hope you enjoy it! 😁

I don't have any fics to post on my birthday this year, and I feel pretty bad about that. Things have finally gone back to normalish in my life, but I've been a little too lazy to get back to focusing on writing. But, I don't wanna force it, you know? The last thing I want is for my heart to not be in it.

Also, I've been playing an obscene amount of Terraria with pop lately. Last playthrough was in Thorium in the Don't Dig Up seed. Can you tell what classes we picked?

p.s. thank you pop for being a total champion these last few months, I know you don't really read my Tumblr but... Yeah. Thank you for helping me maintain my sanity. 😭

Jiminy Crickets, I turn 31 this year. Let's hope I treat myself to something on my birthday better than 310 Spirit Crystals.

Yeah, I'm gonna shit on Echoes for the rest of my life.

Day 12: CHRAMNAS

CROMOMIS

crastmis

Christmas

Someone had a little too much eggnog.

(wtf, I want an ugly Mana tree Christmas sweater. How do I commission someone for that?!)

Anyway, Christmas with dating Duran and Angela. I love the thought of Angela spending Christmas with Duran's family in their humble little home. They go out to cut down the tree and Stella tells her about the time Duran brought home a tree that was way too big to fit in their living room. King Richard himself took it to Castle Valsena to display there and had some soldiers help them find a more manageable tree. Duran adamantly defends himself and his decision to this day.

And then Angela helps Duran and Wendy decorate their Christmas tree with little Elemental-shaped ornaments with a other Faerie tree-topper while Stella bakes cookies...

Or, Duran goes to Altena, where is a true winter wonderland unlike anything he has seen before (is it just me, or are the trees in Frostbite Fields pre-decorated with lights?). Snowmen, snowball fightss, sleigh rides, ice-skating, sledding, warm apple cider and eggnog, you name it.

Valda hosts a feast, and it's one of the few times in the year she makes sure time to spend with Angela. Altena's traditions are a little different, but Duran doesn't mind, and a lot of them are pretty fun.

But... He has no clue what that little plant with the white berries hovering over Angela's doorframe is...

Anyway, if you've been reading my crappy little blog this past week-and-a-half and enjoyed it, thank you. Happy Holidays, whether you celebrate anything or don't, and take care of yourself.

p.s. SANTA IS REAL

Day 11: I've, um, rambled on about this in the notes section of some chapter in Denial before (which one? Heck if I remember, I wrote that like 5 years ago at this point) but I think it is of the most utmost, serious importance. Completely.

Ahem. According to an old guidebook, Duran is 5'9 (175cm) and Angela is 5'5 (165cm). The models in the remake don't really reflect that, and it only slightly bothers me when I'm trying to take cute screenshots of them together. But, I can live with it.

In my least humble of opinions, when Angela is in heels, she should meet Duran eye to eye. When she's not, then she's at perfect forehead kissing height. And also Duran should tease her about trying to make up for her height deficit, hehehe.

As a side note, I always imagine a few years after the end of their journey, Duran grows just a liiiittle more to finally match Hawkeye in height... Only for Kevin to excitedly barrel in all wide, tall, and massive, scooping his best bros up into his arms to give them a rib-cracking bear hug.

Meanwhile, Charlotte is still a potato. Sorry, Charlie.

Day 10: I want more fluffy stuff with Wendy hanging out with Duran and Angela.

Sledding in Altena (has Wendy seen snow before?)

Searching for the lost Moogle tribe and then disguising themselves as Moogles with the Moogle Pin when they find them (huh, this sounds like it could be fun to write...)

Angela doting on the little sister she's always wanted (check her dialogue with Charlotte and tell me she doesn't want a little sibling) and doing Wendy's hair and makeup...

Wendy innocently wondering out loud when Duran is going to marry Angela (the two of them dating at the time optional. 🤭) In either case, Duran does a spittake.

Day 9: Today, I talk about a larger man. And a svelte woman. What I mean is, I wanna throw out some stuff related to Richard/Valda, because I love them. Also uh, spoilers I guess?

Like Richard and Valda, you know those two were so courtly and elegant in their youth. Asking permission to touch her, exchanging letters in secret, kisses stolen late at night under the moonlight, their first time being romance novel-tier perfect and sweet...

But, 20 years have passed since then. Richard feels OLD now, would Valda even want an old fart like him? He's hasn't... No, COULDN'T take another lover. Has she? Certainly a woman like her wouldn't have any difficulty with finding suitable suitors. There's no way he could ask, either. He feels silly. No, he hasn't let himself go or anything, but... You know! It's just silly to think you could try to rekindle something like that.

And then Valda just grabs his hand anyway and shoots him the look, or teases him with footsies under the table. Yeah, that's right. I headcanon Valda is a SAUCY LITTLE MINX, that demure exterior veils a deep, deep desire to drive Richard to the brink of—

Angela is so happy her parents getting along! Duran is wondering what those weird noises are. And feels sick.

One more thing.

nothing like busting out ancient memes to get your point across

Day 8: Day Eight... Date... GASP!

Duran and Angela going on a date!?

Wait, wait, wait. I've written like 20 fics about that, maybe more. Well, what's one more on the pile, eh?

So many choices... It really is hard to pick one, and I know many have already been written/drawn by other people (and I love them). It's hard to think of something unique these days!

Honestly, I'm just happy to see them together and enjoying each other's company after their adventure. Duran's a little nervous and blushing while Angela reaches for his hand, or maybe he's cool and collected and grinning while she's the nervous one because, holy cow she's on her first date! Whoa! What do you even do on those?

Maybe they could sightsee and shop in Beiser (after the whole slave trade thing is abolished) (Duran sees carrying all the shopping bags as strength training, don't worry, he's having a good time)

or... beachcomb at Maia's beach and hanging out with Vuscav (One of Angela's flipflops gets swept away by a wave! Vuscav valiantly rescues it, though)

or... get cozy in front of a fireplace in Altena with a hot cocoa (with extra marshmallows for Angela, and extra extra for Duran)

or... hiking through Molebear Moors and reminiscing about that time Duran was crowned king of the Molebears

So many things they could do.

Well, my phone took a goddamn swan dive out of my hand one too many times and (mostly) broke last night

Got a new one, but now I'm getting things with it all together. Bear with me...

Day 7:

Duran and Angela would make great parents. That is all.

Okay, there's more to it. In Stardew Valley, if you marry Alex and have kids with him, he'll sometimes thank you for giving him the family he's always wanted. Aaa, so sweet! Always makes me squeal like a little girl when I get it.

So the Duran/Angela brainworms call out to me and tell me to imagine Angela thanking Duran for giving her the family she's always wanted. 😭

Duran would be best dad, patient with his thousand children as they swing from his arms like little monkeys, much to his amusement. And of course, he'd try to give them a real sword as early as possible (Angela is not very amused by this).

Angela would always, ALWAYS make sure she has time for her kids, no matter what. From kissing boo-boos to teasing them about their crushes... Hehe. Though, I can see her overcorrecting a little from how she was raised and she might be a little too overbearing. She means well!

p.s. old doodle of the joys of caring for twins at 3 in the morning, and an old beach day Cider doodle (because men with baby carriers are the best)

Day 6:

Angela gives Duran the worst and sweetest, most diabetes-inducing little pet names (wait, I wrote a ficlet about that already...)

Well, far into the future, when they're in their 40s and with like 4 or 5 kids and both still fine as hell, one day, King Duran is about to run some drills with his soldiers.

Here comes Queen Angela from the castle and into the courtyard. She sings out a sweet little "Snugglebuuuns~" as she approaches her dear husband to give him a little kiss on the cheek. "I just wanted to say 'hi' before I got to work today."

More than a few soldiers snicker.

Duran smiles. "Yeah, I'm Snugglebuns. What about it? At the end of the day..." He wraps an arm around Angela and pulls her close, his smile turning into a proud grin. "I'm the one who's goin' to bed with this tonight."

The crowd hushes.

Checkmate, atheists.

Day 5:

Really shitty cellphone doodle comic time! Sorry, my hands are really shaky today...

I don't think I would want technology to advance in the Trials world to the point that they have smartphones or other junk like that, BUT

Not pictured but implied: Angela sending essay long texts all day long, peppered with Manabook jpeg-crushed Minions memes and about 50,000 emojis.

Also not pictured: Duran with a flipphone furiously mashing his thumb on the keypad while fighting a mob of dragons or something.
