I was tagged by the amazing @wesperbrekkered for a WIP Wednesday (Friday). Thanks Rae <3
From Beau:
He cried; He cried into her shoulder and his chest shook. Aditi put one hand on the back of his head, and he felt her nails ever so slightly through his hair and on the skin of his head. The other rested on his back. She shushed him soothingly, rocking gently back and forth until Wylan whimpered in pain, and then she stilled. “Sweet boy,” she said. “You’ve had a rough night.” Wylan nodded mutely. He felt the bed shift where Jesper sat down on the other side of Wylan and next to Aditi. He whispered. “Wy. Please, please go to the hospital.” He shook his head. “I can’t. He’ll find me.” Aditi’s voice didn’t waver. “Who’s gonna find you, dear?’ “He’s gonna kill me. I swear to god he’s gonna kill me-” “Shh. Your daddy’s after you?” He nodded. “Alright. You’ll be staying here then.” “Ma-” “I believe Wylan, Jesper. If he doesn't want to go, I'm not taking him.” “Ma,” he hissed, looking at her as though Wylan couldn't hear his concerns. “What's gonna happen? He can't fix himself.”

Hello, I was wondering if you can do a Crewel x reader x Clowley fluff?
hi ukoi (irl friend), love you <3
content: divus crewel x gn!insert x dire crowley - romantic - fluff - poly ask box (rq box) more under the cut!!!
Tumblr media
Tea Time
The three of you are no stranger for tea time. You usually bring your favorite blends of tea, Crowley and Crewel are always very curious to see what you enjoy.
When you bring the tea, Crewel brings the snacks and Crowley prepares the tea. When he prepares the tea, it has a very strong and robust flavor. He's not shy about having strong tea!
Crewel always comments about how strong it is, but the flavor itself is quite amazing.
Crewel always makes sure to give you your favorite treats and snacks, he will even try to playfully feed them to you.
He also feeds Crowley while peppering him with soft compliments too. When Crewel feeds Crowley, you take the opportunity to kiss his cheek and even try to playfully banter with him.
Cuddles and Snuggles
Usually, you're the smallest spoon. Crewel is the one hugging you, pulling you close. Crowley is the one holding all of you.
You sit in the middle of them on the couch, and occasionally giving kisses to one another.
It's rare to relax in your house clothes with your loves, but you three always try to find the time to... at LEAST twice a week. Which is hardly enough for the three of them.
Crewel will often doze off on your shoulder, then quickly deny he was sleeping when he's stirred away by Crowley's soft murmurs to you.
Their touches are soft and sweet, they never want to leave your side.
Nicknames
Crowley calls you "My Dearest", and he calls Crewel "My Jewel".
Crewel finds it funny how he calls you his Dearest... but Crowley just gives him a word play name.
Crowley and you usually share a laugh, and assure Crewel he's more priceless than any diamond.
Crewel calls you "Beau", and he calls Crowley "Beloved".
"Beau... isn't that a popular dog's name?" You say.
"Hm... it is, but as you know... it's short for beautiful." Crewel smiles.
Crowley is happy to even get a pleasant nickname.
You want to call them by nicknames, but you usually only call them those in private. They love your voice, they love it when you say "Divus" and "Dire".

hi love! big fan of your blog <3 if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could I request hc's for a gender neutral MC who calls the obey me boys (minus luke ofc) by terms of endearment as a nickname, like calling mammon honey! love you, have a great day!
Hi anon! I'm assuming you're asking for their reactions to being called smth like that and what they'd prefer to be called? Idk but that's what I did lol. Hope you enjoy!
Genre: fluff
Warnings: none
Tumblr media
Lucifer:
I think the first time you use a term of endearment for him, he's just kinda like 🧍 LMAO
like it just catches him so off guard bc he's not used to it
if you call him smth serious like "darling" or "sweetie," he will blush but try to hide it
if it's smth dumb like "my honey bunches of oats," he's going to give you the most unimpressed look imaginable
definitely prefers to call you and to be called the more 'mature' terms such as darling, honey, my love, sweetheart, my beloved, and so on
Mammon:
blushes 47103784 different shades and can't stop stuttering the first time you call him one
pretends to not like them but is actually obsessed
he will legit think you're mad at him if you use his name instead of a pet name 😭✋😂
likes calling you the cheesy, dorky stuff like sweetie (pie), cutie (pie), my honey bunches of oats, sugar, sunshine, buttercup, sweet pea, and so on
he likes when you call him babe/baby, honey, sweetie, handsome, sweet thang, good lookin, and probs smth ridiculous like stud muffin 💀
Levi:
dies on the spot. rip Levi
nah but he fr gets SO embarrassed
honestly probably takes him a while to call you anything other than your name and "normie" 😭✋
when he finally gets with the program, he'd probably start out with calling you basic stuff like babe/baby and beautiful, and then might start warming up to more playful ones like queen/king or even smth oddly specific like Pudding Pop which ofc has a funny story behind it
he likes it when you call him babe/baby. And while these next ones are so corny and cheesy that it makes him want to die, he secretly loves them. Honey bun, sweetie (pie), love bug, and mayhaps even a baby boy?
Satan:
I can't decide if he'd be blushing red from embarrassment or would just be such a cocky bastard about it 😭✋
idk maybe if he was unsure about your feelings then he'd be flustered, but if he knew how you felt, he'd just be smirking as his sharp tongue went unchecked
honestly, probably uses similar terms that Luci uses, but I think he'd also use terms that are from books, poetry, and so on. Stuff like rosebud, jewel, my beloved, apple of my eye, light of my life, beau, dove, cara mia ("my beloved" in Italian), and so on. He'd also love to call you kitten/kitty cat/etc
he'd probably, again, like similar ones that Luci prefers. I think he'd also like things like Romeo, my other half, soulmate, my one and only, and other stuff like that. He even grows to like "old man" despite the fact that he pretends to hate it 💀
Asmo:
sigh. where to even start with this man
he's been calling you pet names since day one 😭💀
it ranges from cutie to sexy, baby to mi amor, sweet cheeks to darling, little dove to doll. it's a new one every time he addresses you I stg. It honestly just depends on what kind of mood he's/you're in, where you are, who you're with, etc.
he likes when you call him the same things, but especially likes anything that refers to his looks such as handsome, dream boat, papi, hot stuff, sexy, casanova, and so on. He also likes things like prince charming and my knight in shining armor
Beel:
my time has come
probably blushes when you call him one but then gets super happy and is just cheesin for the rest of the day
loves loves loves when you both use food ones 😭😂 sweetie pie, honey (bun), jellybean, cupcake, dumpling, buttercup, sugarplum, puddin, sugar, the list goes on 😭✋😂
I think he would also like the really sweet and cute ones too though like honey bunny, love bug, my love, darling, and so on
Belphie:
can dish it out but can't eat what he's cookin LMAO
easily calls you pet names but always gets so embarrassed when you return it. (He's probably the type to get angry when you call him something sweet or cute LMAO like his embarrassment turns into anger to cope with it anogifehdfah)
he loves calling you my moon/stars/sun(shine). I think he'd also use ones like angel, babe/baby, sweetie/sweetheart, and so on
he'd like when you call him sleepyhead, teddy bear, babe/baby, and snuggle bug. Super cheesy ones like snookums or smth like that will never fail to make him grin and chuckle

₊° - 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: As the first preparations for the new season start, Elladine is filled with dread at the prospect of having to enter the beau monde and say goodbye to her childhood to welcome in the world of London's high society.
masterlist (soon), read the introduction that started it all
☾ ⋆*·゚:⋆*·゚:⠀ *⋆.*:·゚ .: ⋆*·゚: .⋆
𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆, 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵, 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗽𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀. 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿’𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 <3
My dear readers, a new flock of eagerly anticipating young women, yearning to make an impression on the Ton, will soon step foot and enter the world of the beau monde, hopefully tightly clutching the arms of their new husbands in a few weeks time. Reflecting on the last two seasons, I will wait patiently to see if Dowager Viscountess Violet Bridgerton will succeed once more in finding one of her children a suitable match. The bar certainly is set high, seeing as her first daughter landed the attention of both a Duke and a Prince during her debut season and her firstborn seems as happy as ever. Will she succeed, or will she have to vie for a lord to pay attention to her daughters like Lady Featherington has done for years? And will Lady P Featherington ever be freed from the horrible clothing she's put in? I, dear readers, surely cannot wait to see what this season has in store for us. I will watch with a keen eye to see how well our favourite Viscount and his Viscountess have fared over the year. I eagerly await their return to the beau monde now that they have to find Lady E and, how else, following the Bridgerton’s alphabetic name tradition, her twin sister Lady E, a husband. Exciting times, my dearest readers, but we can only sit tight and wait until the first ball of the season, where we will be shown exactly what kind of year this will shape to be. Of course, in the meantime, this writer will keep her eyes and ears open to all that will happen in our beloved Ton.
LADY WHISTLEDOWN’S SOCIETY PAPERS, APRIL 21 1816
Violet exhaled sharply through her nose when she read the words on the small pamphlet in her hands. The season hadn’t even started, and yet, Lady Whistledown had managed to speak of her and her family already. She had ploughed her way through the rumours and ill words directed to her, her family and her children once with Daphne’s debut, then again with the debacle Anthony had put himself in, but she already held her breath for the kind of things Eloise and Elladine would manage to get themselves into. Knowing her daughters well, she knew something was bound to happen. For now, she worried more about Eloise than Elladine. Although her precious daughters were both equal head-and-heart girls, they still held the fire each Bridgerton had, and they had been raised by one strong woman, not to forget. They had been less willing to bend and mend to the standards of the beau monde than she had hoped, and although at times it gave her evenings full of headache, she could not help but love the strength in her daughter’s characters. Eloise had made it clear time and time again, even before it had been her time to debut, how much she detested the prospect of what would be asked of her, the prospect of not having a choice in the matter either. She'd started throwing fusses whenever the subject had come up, she'd been blatantly rude to avoid having to talk to any man wanting a chat and she had even gone as far to escape social occasions more than once. Where Eloise’s protest had been loud and clear, Elladine’s true feelings about having to find herself a man had been less outspoken. Each time the subject would be brought up, she would visibly recoil and turn quiet, her eyes filling with a glassy melancholic look, the light in them no longer there. She had worn the dresses, learned the customaries and the dances and even done her best to entertain any man wanting to talk or dance with her, but Violet could see the intent was not there. Violet had then vowed to find a perfectly suited man to make the light in her daughter’s eyes return again. She knew it was possible, as she’d seen it happen to Daphne. There was a person for everyone out there, Elladine would be no exception. She deserved to know how euphoric love could be and Violet was going to help her realise that.
“Has she written about our ridiculous order of names again, Mama?” Elladine sighed from behind the easel, eyes not leaving her canvas.
“Of course, it’s only tradition,” Eloise teased, knowing exactly how the famed writer usually picked her words. She stopped flitting through her book and sat up to watch her twin sister focus on the canvas in front of her.
Despite being born mere minutes apart, the two couldn’t look more different from each other. Sure, they both had the thick familiar chestnut Bridgerton hair, but their cheekbones, noses, lips and even their eye colours differed. Where Eloise’s eyes were an earthy green, Elladine’s eyes were as sharp and light blue as those of her mother. No matter if a room was lit by merely a handful of candles or if she stood outside on Grosvenor Square in the harsh sunlight, her eyes would always be strikingly blue. Her blue doe eyes had been one of her most adorable features when she had been young, and they made many a head turn ever since she’d turned of age.
“She is getting rather boring and repetitive lately, don’t you think?” Eloise shrugged, not realising the foreboding irony her words would hold in a few weeks.
Violet’s head immediately snapped up, “Do not give the Lord any ideas on how to enliven her ridiculous paper.”
“Fine, I take it back.” Eloise softly muttered under her breath as she looked up to the ceiling, where a group of painted angels draped around vines looked down at her. 
Now it was Elladine’s time to snort as she looked at her sister while smoothing out a thick blob of paint on her canvas. It was supposed to be the start of a bush full of red camellia, the flower that represented the painful yearning for love, something she had learned in a book from their library. She often looked for inspiration there, seeing as it was hard for her to venture out into the world as a young aristocratic woman. 
Their butler announced himself as he stepped into the salon, “I have post for Lady Eloise and Lady Elladine,” He announced, handed the two ivory envelopes to Violet before taking his leave.
“It’s from Daphne,” Violet announced after seeing her daughter's familiar curly handwriting.
Elladine’s ears perked up at the mention of her oldest sister. Daphne had been their rock after their father had passed and their mother had isolated in her grief for a while. Like a true big sister, she had stepped up wherever she could, consoled the little ones, taken care of them with the help of the maids, let them cuddle up to her in bed and helped distract them together with Colin by playing music and putting on silly performances for the little ones in their salon. Daphne had been an everpresent tangible anchor for her, something to ground her and help her practice her resilience in hard times with kind affirmations. The day Daphne had left the Bridgerton house, had been one of the worst days so far, together with her father passing and when that dreaded letter had arrived to invite her for her debut. Elladine had looked up to Dapne all her life until her oldest sister had seemed so content being married off to a mere stranger and seeming to love the prospect of being a doting wife— all the things that made Elladine’s skin itch. 
“Ella, dear, do wipe your hands before you come and open it.” Her mother pointed at the green and white smears of paint on them. Elladine held them away from her dress and quickly grabbed a cloth to wipe them off, knowing she would likely lose her head if her mother caught her with paint on it, something impossible to remove.
“You know, I think your dress is a bit too maiden-white, a bit of green would liven it up.” Eloise grinned to her sister and plucked the envelope out of her mother's hands.
The two sisters exchanged a knowing grin, especially when they saw their mother’s head shoot up at the suggestion. It had always been a bit like that— Eloise being the instigator and Elladine joining close in pursuit. But where Eloise had chaos rumbling closely beneath her chest, Elladine was usually more collected and aware of situations and repercussions. Even that simple knowledge was why Violet knew Eloise would be the biggest handful this season. Then again, where Eloise went, Elladine followed, what Elladine did, Eloise wanted to do, and vice versa. They’d been like this ever since birth, as was only normal for twin sisters, Violet had presumed. She adored it, though. But now, Lady Whistledown had mockingly practically placed them on the highest pedestal for all the Ton to watch and observe this season. Violet started to fan her face even thinking about what was to come and how her daughters would fare with that much attention on them.
Elladine excitedly snatched the letter away, tore the Duke’s seal apart and hastily opened the letter. The twins quickly scanned through the letters.
“Ah, it’s one of those.” Eloise spoke with a mouth full of distaste. 
“Whatever are you talking about?” Elladine tried to take a peek at her sister’s letter, confused, as her letter had started off kindly with words about her nephew and the news of a renovational project of their estate.
Eloise rolled her eyes, “At least that means she did not just plainly copy them.”
“She wouldn’t, she knows us too well to realise we would open and read them together.”
Violet watched the two, “Well, what did she write?”
“That she wishes us a dreadful season and that she hopes we will find our life as married women accommodating and that we will walk off into the sunset with the second best man we can find.”
“She did no such thing-” Violet all but tried to grab the letter out of Eloise’s hands. At the mention of her older sister’s supposed well-wishes for their debut, Elladine fell quiet once more, like she had done so plenty of times already. She didn’t want to read the rest of her letter anymore, afraid it would bring up the subject again.
“I would rather become a spinster than ever make my debut.” Elladine snarked, voicing her disinterest out loud for once as she fumbled the letter back into its envelope and threw it on the table.
Violet looked at her through squinted eyes, “I don’t like your tone, Elladine.” 
She withheld an eyeroll at her mother’s usual reply whenever one of her children went a little out of line. But while she would have giggled or grinned at it on any other occasion, it made her look at the floor and let her shoulders fall. Her mother was right. Daphne had written a kind letter in support of her debut fast approaching, and she hadn't even taken the time to read it through.
“I know it is a prospect you do not feel anything for, but know that all I wish for you is to be loved, adored and cared for. You two deserve to live as happy as I have. I won’t be around forever, and I do not wish you to be alone when I'm gone.” Although her words were soft-spoken and well-meant, her two bad-humoured daughters standing before her could not yet appreciate the intent of her words.
“Oh, we won’t be alone. We’ll have each other.” Eloise linked arms with Elladine, “First, we will go to University, to hell with those small-minded egotistical men who think it is no place for us. Then we will travel the world and inspire other like-minded women to break free from their shackles. Then we'll settle down somewhere and write and live off Anthony's wealth." Her eyes had a playful glint to them before she turned serious and sighed in exasperation, "We do not wish to be married when we will have each other and our books and travels, Mama.”
Elladine pulled her arm away from Eloise, “That’s what you want, why does it always have to be what you want?"
"I thought we wanted the same thing?!" Eloise huffed, arm pulling away, "Well, what do you want?"
Elladine fell silent, she realised she hadn't really dared to dream of her future when the only future she thought she would have, would be one she hated. And what kind of self-torture would it be to allow herself to daydream of a life she could never get anyway?
Even if it had been only momentarily, she could feel herself slip away into her worries again. She swallowed, "Um, I want to paint and play music... upkeep my own garden and live somewhere far away without the rules and obligations of the Ton and... to just be me.”
Eloise scrunched up her nose at that, ready to butt in and voice how boring it sounded compared to her ideal life.
“Girls.” Violet’s tone was a message in itself, but Elladine took it to heart and huffed before leaving the salon, ignoring the pleas of her mother. She headed directly to the stables, knowing her mother would never follow her there. Even if Eloise was the only one who could ever get remotely close to understanding how she felt, she still would never get it. No one would. The conversation she'd just had only further proved her point. Elladine wasn’t opposed to being loved, adored and cared for, to not be alone but to live with her person by her side, it was just… Well, what was it exactly? Why was something inside of her so opposed to the entire idea when she should feel happy and have some healthy nerves, like all the other girls starting their debut.
She balled her fists when she felt the familiar ache in her heart that no one would ever understand. Hells, she wasn’t even sure if she would ever understand her fears and reason behind her heartache. It wasn't like she could ask her family about it either, no matter how close they were. No, this felt like something she had to battle by herself.
The horses all turned their heads when she walked into the stable. Some continued to eat or turned back around, but not her own dark dapple grey mare— Cecille, who immediately lifted up her head. Elladine had gotten her when she was young, when Violet thought it would help her put her violin or brushes down and get her to go outside for some fresh air. Edmund's death had taken a toll on the entire family, plaguing each of her children and herself in a different way. Some turned rebellious, others had turned stoic, others had acted as if nothing had happened at all, but Elladine had locked herself up in her chambers. Violet had tried multiple things to lure her out, but it wasn't until she'd seen her daughter pet and talk to one of the coach's horses that she had made the decision. Elladine had hated the mandatory horseriding lessons at first, for all she wanted to do was practice her arts, but she could not deny that Cecille had in fact been the greatest gift she had ever gotten. No animal would ever utter an ill word about you, hold resentment or judge you for who you were. And somehow, Elladine just knew that her horse could see the true her. It was as if Cecille knew of all her dark secrets, yet she simply continued to look at her beneath those long eyelashes as if to say that everything would be alright, that she had a friend in her. Their home on Grosvenor Square, in the middle of Mayfair and in the heart of London, wasn't surrounded by much nature for Elladine to ease her heart and soul. So, the only place where she could hide and recharge and be completely by herself was the stables next to the coach house. Well, she also loved to furiously paint away with no clear vision in mind or play sonata upon sonata on her violin until the strings left painful marks on her fingers, so long that it drove everyone mad, but those weren’t options when all she wanted and needed to do was to flee their home. Sometimes she wished she was a simple girl who didn’t need a chaperone to accompany her whenever she wanted to step so much as even one foot out the door. It was just the life she was born into, and unfortunately for Elladine, that meant she had to make the biggest sacrifice of her life— to give up her life’s true happiness and be wedded off like cattle like any other aristocratic girl, just to appease their so beloved Ton.
Elladine grabbed the bucket with kitchen waste. She hoped that taking care of Cecille would soothe the fast hammering of her heart against her chest. She was so angry, furious even, but it was nothing Cecille could do anything about. The horse happily chomped through the bucket, but even seeing that did not seem to make the tension in her body vanish.
This time, Elladine didn’t care about dirtying her dress, and in protest even smeared the dirt and dust down her sides to clean her hands. Her mother would be furious, but so was she. It would be a fair exchange. And maybe, if she didn't have any dresses to wear, she could hide in her room some more. At least Eloise was an expert in openly speaking her mind, even having done so in front of the Queen last season, but Elladine didn’t have that type of guts. She often went about things a little more discreet. Instead, she showed her disdain on the matter through actions instead of Eloise's blurted words, and more often than not rebelled in ways that made her brothers chuckle and her mother sigh. Though Violet loved how all her children had a mind and character of their own, she also disliked how that meant they only influenced one another in that regard. Elladine was to be a fine example for her younger siblings, as Daphne had been for her- well, to a certain extent- she knew that, but it was so hard when her heart and her life were on the line.
The door behind her creaked open, and a sliver of sunlight shone through the stables. 
“I would have preferred green above brown, but it’s a nice touch anyway.” Eloise pointed at the streaks of earthy dust on her sister's dress and approached.
Eloise would never immediately outright apologise, despite being so fiercely outspoken. Still, she knew she had hurt her sister, even if she hadn’t known the true depths of her words. 
When no reply followed from her sister, Eloise shrunk, “I apologise… for putting words in your mouth… again.”
Elladine softly brushed Cecille’s main, who was still happily munching on the carrot presented to her.
“Ella?”
The girl beside her sighed. There was one thing Eloise and Elladine were good at besides complementing each other— making up after a fight. Even if their fights were never really fights, only mere bickers or a couple of eyerolls after a disagreement- because yes, those did happen often- they could never be mad at each other for more than an hour. 
“I’m not mad at you.”
Eloise let out a visible sigh and her posture relaxed immediately. Elladine didn’t have to speak it out loud, for Eloise knew perfectly well what her sister was truly mad at. 
“I know Daphne means well, but it just upsets me so.”
“She does.” Eloise nodded, knowing their older sister held them in her highest regard and would never write the things she had just to spite them or remind them of their hell.
“Why is it so hard for people to realise that their dream isn’t ours? Far from it, actually.”
“It’s the patriarchy, I am telling you.”
Elladine gave her sister a look, “It’s always the patriarchy in your eyes, El.”
“Because- It just always is!” Eloise spluttered, "They have spoken their beliefs and spread them like an epidemic, and now the world knows no better than the way it is! Look-” She pulled her sister away from the horse so her attention was solely focused on her, “We will just… stick together. Through it all. I promise to not walk out on you even if I would rather walk through a room of mouse traps than waltz one second during those balls.” Eloise grinned when she saw her sister’s expression soften. 
“I will even agree to burp at least once each night to scare off any onlooker wanting to take us for a dance.”
Elladine softly shook her head, a smile tugging at her lips, “No, El, you know it would hurt Mama. And taint our name.”
Eloise turned quiet, then her eyes glossed over and she grabbed her sister, “But else it would hurt you.”
The two sisters looked at each other. Feeling herself get too vulnerable, Eloise suddenly cracked a smile, “Of course, I also can’t imagine a life without you by my side, and marrying means we would not see each other for long periods of time.”
“Ah, so in the end, it’s an entirely selfish reason?”
“It appears so.” 
They grinned at each other with innocent mischief in their eyes. Elladine wiped the lone tear from her nose that she hadn’t realised had fallen from her eye until it had tickled. 
“Although you will have to face Mama on your own or she will likely blame me for that hideous stain on your dress.”
“I thought you liked it?”
“Brown’s never been my favourite colour.”
Elladine made a face at her as Eloise pulled her out of the stables and gave her an encouraging push towards the house. 
“She’s still in the salon.” Eloise jumped when one of the horses kicked against their stable door, quickly taking her leave and going to the Featherington's.
With her head held high, Elladine entered the salon again. She was never one to admit defeat easily, nor show her true emotions. She couldn’t afford to show what was truly within, not if she wanted to stop her mother from worrying.
Violet stood with Daphne’s letter behind the canvas, taking in the swipes and colours. Violet looked up and smiled softly at her daughter when the door opened, and opened her arm,
“Elladine, come, my dear.”
Elladine walked over and let herself get pulled into her mother’s safe embrace, the place that could always comfort her, even now.
Violet knew of her daughter’s variety of talents, as she had been the one behind the pursuit of most of them, but the vision of this current project was lost on her. She tried her best to mask her confusion when she spoke, “Do tell me what your newest painting will be?”
“It will be a field filled with camellias, like the ones back at the estate during summer.” Violet’s eyes twinkled and the apples of her cheeks lifted up into a warm smile, “I found an encyclopaedia in the library and used reference pictures.” Knowing what conversation was to come next, Elladine quickly continued talking, “I shall clean up now. I don’t think I will be able to put much more work in before dinner anyway.” Not knowing what to say next, she peered at the letter in her mother’s hands. Daphne’s letter to her. “She said that Auggie’s speaking his first few sentences.”
Violet smiled kindly, but knew her daughter was stalling. She pulled the both of them on the couch, “Come, sit.” But then she gasped when she saw the ruined dress.
“Elladine Bridgerton-” She started, knowing very well that this was another one of her rebellious outburst.
“I went to the stables.” Was all Elladine said.
Violet held the bridge of her nose. Her children were a handful, but she couldn’t deny that she loved every second of still having them around.
“No matter, we’ll talk of this later, but first I want to talk about something else. It’s been inevitable.”
“Do we have to, Mama?” Elladine sighed softly.
“It is important I tell you this, my love.”
Elladine looked at her, but her eyes held a certain kind of rebellious spirit in them that Violet couldn’t help but grin at— she recognised her younger self in her daughter. She pushed a fallen lock of hair behind her daughter's ear before lovingly cupping her cheeks, 
“You are my everything, Elladine, all eight of you have my whole heart, which is why it is so deeply important for me to know you will be fine should I no longer be around, to see you happy, to rest assured knowing you are taken care of, that you are adored and loved.”
Elladine opened her mouth to say something, but Violet gave her a look,
“Your protests haven’t gone unnoticed, but don’t you ever for a second think that I am willingly putting you through what you see as pure torment.” Violet grazed her daughter’s cheeks with her thumb before dropping her hands back to her lap. So young, so innocent yet so full of fire and determination. Her girls were growing up, but she couldn’t help but realise that even if the Ton found them the right age, they weren't ready yet. She too hated how her children couldn’t slowly learn to live their lives and then stumble upon their great love along the way, instead of having to find a match within a few weeks with the pressure of the society weighing them down. But that was just the way it was, how it always had been, and how she had found her dear Edmund as well. Their offspring were visible proof that it was possible.
“I know it’s scary and I know you feel pushed into a corner, but I am afraid that this is just how it is for us women. But don’t fear, my love, I found your father, Anthony found his lovely Kate and Daphne found her doting Simon. You will find your happy ever after as well with a husband made just for you, I can assure you.”
Elladine was silent for a while, letting her mother’s words hit and giving them a place in her head, “But I don’t want to.”
In this moment, with the slight quiver of her lips, furrowed brows and big blues looking up at her, as Elladine tried her best to hide her emotions, Violet couldn’t help but see a four-year-old Elladine sit in front of her. She pulled her in her arms and planted a kiss on her daughter’s hair, “Oh, my darling girl.”
The disappearance of the light in Elladine’s eyes as of late hadn’t gone unnoticed, and neither had the mood shifts and her rebellious behaviour, but Violet made herself a promise then and there, that she would do everything to ensure her daughter’s happiness. After all, there was a perfect person out there for everyone.
☾ ⋆*·゚:⋆*·゚:⠀ *⋆.*:·゚ .: ⋆*·゚: .⋆
“Miss Elladine?” Her maid entered her bedroom, where Elladine had been playing her violin for three hours straight up until this interruption. She was grateful that her family had let her this time around. “Pardon me, but your friend Lady Lillian is here.”
Elladine dropped the violin to her lap. She knew Lillian would never visit on a Wednesday morning, for she would always take a stroll with her siblings through Kensington Gardens. This had her mother written all over. 
“There she is.” Lillian’s voice echoed through the Bridgerton hall as Elladine walked down the stairs to her best friend. Although Eloise and Elladine were as thick as thieves, they did not share the same friends. Where Eloise had found a friend in their neighbour Penelope, Elladine had gravitated towards Lillian, whose mother was a close friend of Violet. They were close in age, with Lillian just two years older than herself. Lillian had long undergone the first steps into the Ton and had married during her first season. Now she happily lived with her lord husband in Kensington, together with their two pomeranians and their newborn son. Lillian had flourished from a young, insecure girl into a woman of status. Though she didn’t quite grasp what there wasn’t to love about marrying a loving lord and having his children, she did feel sympathy whenever she saw how deeply Elladine was affected by it all. 
“I feel like it is the perfect weather for a nice stroll around Hyde Park, do you not?” She grasped her friend’s hands and gave them an encouraging squeeze, trying to turn Elladine’s frown upside down.
“But what of your family?”
Lillian only waved her off, “They see me all day long, having to miss me for an hour or two should not be the end of the world. Besides, I want to steal you away one last time before all the bachelors of the Ton will.”
Elladine gave her a look which Lillian brushed off by dragging her friend outside, their two maids following suit as they walked onto Grosvenor Square. The sunlight blinded Elladine, and the sudden hustle and bustle of the street rammed into her head like a carriage. Lillian had her arm linked with hers as she led the two west, to Hyde Park, where it would no doubt be swarming on this gorgeous Spring day. 
“Did Mama write to you?” Elladine wondered, looking up at her friend to gauge her reaction. Lillian only side-eyed her, her face stoic, before her eyebrows dropped and a guilty expression took over.
“You know I cannot lie to you. Yes, she did.”
Elladine groaned, “About how pathetic I have been lately, I’m sure.”
Lillian laughed, “Well, she used kinder words, but yes.” 
Elladine gasped at her friend’s jest and bumped her hip, almost making Lillian collide with the nearest bystander. They both started grinning as the old man dipped his head. 
“How’s little Oliver?”
“Growing heavy, but very healthy.” 
They came to a stop on Park Lane, letting the carriages pass through before entering Hyde Park.
Lillian continued, eyes flitting across the many women walking with their young children or pushing their strollers, “It’s all going so fast. It feels like it was ages ago when I gave birth.”
Elladine patted her friend’s hand and tugged her closer as a carriage passed them, “You are a wonderful mother, and I’m sure you will be blessed with more children in the future.”
A wickedly broad smile took over Lillian’s face as she pulled Elladine back to stand still. Elladine eyed her friend, confused, then watched as Lillian slowly rested her hands on her belly. 
Elladine stopped and gaped at her like a fish.
“No!”
“Yes!”
Perplexed, Elladine put her hands to her mouth. Lillian laughed at her friend’s reaction and let herself be wrapped in Elladine's arms.
“But Ollie is merely five months old!”
“I know! We’re both over the moon!”
“Lillian!” Elladine gasped again, head still not fully registering it all, “But how- how is that even possible so quickly again?”
“Oh, sweet girl,” Lillian sighed, knowing Elladine would find out on her own one day, "The female body is a wonder!" She only said as she hooked her arm around Elladine's again and continued their stroll, their maids still following along behind them. But Elladine was still stuck on her friend's words. The comment had felt patronising in a way, and it had made her feel too stupid to bring it up and risk making an even bigger fool of herself.
They walked for half an hour in the shade of the many trees, before circling back around and exiting the park near Constitutional Hill— the road that led to where the Queen’s newest palace was being built, and what would lead you to her current one when you followed The Mall— St. Jame’s Palace, the awful place that would kickstart her entire nightmare on the day for the debutantes.
Right as the women were about to cross the road, people started to gasp, yell, wave, stop and stare. They stood back, watching as a cavalry shepherd the Queen's familiar golden coach through the streets. Royal guards sat atop their stallions, but even if people called out to greet their Queen, it was not Queen Charlotte who Elladine saw through the reflection of the glass. It was a young girl who sat caged inside the coach, looking at the world outside of it. Just then, Elladine could have sworn that the girl's eyes landed on those of her own, but before she could make that claim, the coach had passed them already. 
Apparently, Lillian had also realised it wasn’t Queen Charlotte that the carriage was transporting. She nudged her friend, “A royal visit at the dawn of a new season? I bet you it’s another Prince or Princess wanting to see the finest ware in London."
She giggled, but Elladine barely reacted, for it was another blow to her heart to remind her of the one thing she was desperately trying to forget— the season was about to start.
☾ ⋆*·゚:⋆*·゚:⠀ *⋆.*:·゚ .: ⋆*·゚: .⋆
The Salon was filled with an aroma of scalding tea and the cook’s latest pastries to properly welcome their guests. Madame Delacroix hurried through the room with dresses in her hand and held them up to Elladine’s chest. 
“Non, too yellow.” Then she tried the other, “Non, too dark. Hmm, but this one brings out your complexion so perfectly, Mademoiselle Bridgerton.”
“Oh, yes.” Violet immediately agreed and nodded approvingly, loving how her daughter’s chestnut hair matched with the green. Elladine’s eyes flashed to those of Daphne and Eloise, who sat beside her on the couch, one with an unamused glint on her face, the other with eyes full of pride. 
“It’s a wonderful colour, Ella. I love it with your eyes.” Daphne complimented.
Madame Delacroix kept the dress up to her chest, expectantly. Elladine cleared her throat, “Yes, I prefer this one over the yellow one.”
Kate, who sat beside Violet nodded in agreement and took a sip of her tea, grinning slightly as she saw Eloise try to make her twin laugh by mocking Madame Delacroix and her handful of dresses.
“And how about this one-” She hurried back to her coffers and pulled out a deep blue dress. “I was not sure if it would be too dark for your fair skin, but let’s see-” She mumbled and pulled it up to her figure. 
A few gasps were heard.
“My, Ella, you look like a wonderful lady in that one.”
"I like that one," Hyacinth blurted out through a mouthful.
“C’est magnifique. Mysterious too, non?”
Elladine’s eyes glanced at herself in the mirror, before they landed on Eloise, who sat slouched on the couch, wishing she were anywhere but here— she would be up next.
“Yes, perfect,” Eloise added absentmindedly after being nudged by Daphne. She sat up straight with a sigh, realising Elladine needed a little more confirmation from her, “Both are great, but the light green one makes you look young, whereas the deep blue one feels more mature. Either way, you look beautiful in both.”
Violin looked greatly surprised at the genuine reply, but quickly turned pleased— it seemed that Eloise's attempt to comfort her sister had worked.
“If I might have a say-” Kate leaned forward and touched the fabric in Madame Delacroix’s hands, “Start with the light green one. A soft shade is easy on the eyes and is a nice symbolic shade to start off the season. Yes, you want to stand out, but doing so on the first nights might not be exactly what you’re looking for.” She hinted at the dark colour of the dress, knowing most debutantes stayed with light pastel colours to mirror their innocence, “Wear the deep blue one once you’ve stabilised your place and feel more at ease. Besides, it is quite mysterious, it might make your suitors take the last leap.” She smiled heartedly, with a naughty glint in her eyes. 
Everyone looked to Elladine for the final answer.
“Then I’ll take both on top of the others we liked.”
“Perfect, Lady Bridgerton, I’ll start adjusting them right away. Now, for the casual gowns-” She opened another set of coffers. Elladine loved getting new dresses, but not when she knew she had to wear these to a ball she didn’t want to go to and wear them for a man she never wanted to impress.
☾ ⋆*·゚:⋆*·゚:⠀ *⋆.*:·゚ .: ⋆*·゚: .⋆
Dear readers, it seems that our season is off to a magnificent start with the arrival of Spanish Crown Prince Felipe and his equally beloved twin sister Princess Graciela, both descendants of our King's line through their mother. It can only be assumed that His Grace is looking for a possible suitor for his future throne, seeing that he has reached the acquired age for a betrothal and his otherwise rather unusual timing to visit the Ton. Now we can only wonder who will turn his head. But before we lose ourselves to the speculation of the matter, all eyes will first be focused on this year's debutantes. Who will be the Ton’s newest Diamond? And will the Prince agree with the Queen’s decision?

An ask game for writers to procrastinate working on your WIP(s)
Thanks for tagging me @cutestkilla @ivelovedhimthroughworse @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @valeffelees @emeryhall @monbons @thewholelemon @whatevertheweather @aristocratic-otter @bookish-bogwitch @orange-peony @shrekgogurt @wellbelesbian @theearlgreymage @ic3-que3n - I definitely shouldn't be procrastinating writing because I'm overdue but I'm a sucker for a good Q&A.
1. 🦈Tell us the name of your/ one of your WIP(s):
I technically have a handful of WIPs I haven't given up on posting but I'm not actively working on. Après la Pluie, le Beau Temps is the one I'm actively working on. I'm in the planning stages with All the Lonely People which is a fic I'm planning to cowrite with @cutestkilla my beloved. Then I have Sober, Water Grey, Close Your Eyes, and A Mild Case of Madness (yes I haven't given up on AMCOM I was actually thinking I'd try and finish it up after I'm done posting Après)
I don't actually work on more than one fic at a time but I also had like a flood of ideas once I was done writing Someone Wicked and that's why the pile of WIPs. Also I was trying to do discovery writing and realized that I hate it.
2. 🍄Describe your WIP/one of your WIP(s) in the format of “___ + ___ =___”
Why is this so hard???
Okay. Um.
Roommates who (pretend to) hate each other + alcohol induced vulnerability = publicly getting off with each other on a stranger's couch in the middle of a rager, probably to the dulcet sounds of goosebumps by travis scott.
3. 🌍What tags or warnings will one of your WIP(s) need if you intend to share it?
Amazingly my current WIP doesn't really require much bracing. But I am still intending very much to complete Sober (working title) which I talked a lot about last year. That would come with warnings for grief, alcohol and sexual assault. Which makes it sound so much worse than it is, but then again I always think that my writing isnt actually that sad but then i have people telling me i ripped their heart out of their chest and chewed on it so im not a good judge of that. i will say it definitely has more jokes than my usual fare.
4. 🧭An alternative title to one of your WIP(s)?
I am very decisive when it comes to titles, so I genuinely cant think of anything. I guess Sober, because I'm not sure that's the right title for the fic because it's not about addiction. It's about drunken hookups (and like, definitely some alcohol as a coping mechanism but like, mostly just uni students partying and going too hard as they are wont to do) so I was thinking of making it longer like "Kiss Me When You're Sober" but I dunno. It's not even close to done so I don't have to decide yet.
5. ⚠️Which WIP you're most likely to finish or update next?
Après la Pluie, le Beau Temps is the fic I'm actively working on and I'm going to post this guy next come hell or high water. It's just taking me a while, I'm a bit burnt out. But things they will come.
6. 💾What is your document of your WIP/ a WIP called? (not the stories actual title but what you’ve saved it as)
All my documents are the fic titles so nothing really fun there.
Tumblr media
7. 🖍Post Any sentence(s) from your WIP.
“If you’re going to do this, do you actually trust him? After everything he’s done to you. Everything you’ve done to each other.” I sigh. “I don’t know.”  All the things I’ve always believed I hated about him feel different now, filtered through a new lens. His relentlessness, his sharp edges, his poise. The way he moves across the pitch, and plays his violin, sweet-toned and sorrowful. The singe of his magick.  “I just … see him,” I say quietly. “And I know I want him. The way I’m supposed to.”
8. ♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP.
I don't know, I don't think I've scrapped any ideas for this WIP yet? Actually, I think earlier on in the planning I had wanted to have Niall and Dev being absolutely gross with their PDA through the whole thing, but I ended up writing a completely different side-story for them that's genuinely a ton better. Basically, they were a gag, and now they have an actual arc.
9. 🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?
Gonna mirror Dre here, we have been planning a fic to cowrite but we both have other fanfic obligations to fulfill first, so it's a little bit on the backburner until we are both freed up. Again, to parrot her, it's a canonverse AU based on a movie we both adore, older (late 30's) strangers to lovers, a ghost story but in a cathartic way, not a scary way, developing relationship. We have a shared trello and I can't help but daydream about it. I am so very very eager to start working on it in earnest.
10. 🤡How many WIPS are you actively working on?
One, actively. Two if you count the fic with Dre which we occasionally can't help but get into long discussions about.
11. 🛠Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?
I am currently writing a genre I've never written before which has just been a little daunting. As well as this first chapter has zero simon or baz, probably, and THAT is hard too. But it has to be that way. For the setup. It just means I'm having to learn how to write a lot of side characters in a way I haven't done before, like Niamh and Niall (since i have a bit of experience with agatha and dev)
12. ❤️Not a question, just a second Kudos to send.
Everyone deserves so many many kudos.

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today we have eight fics in modern settings for you all! Have a look at them below the cut and if you end up checking some of them out on ao3, please don’t forget to leave kudos and comments! 🩷
Having Trouble Breathing In by Torchiclove (17,445 words, Teen) Pairing: Keyleth/Pike Trickfoot (Pikeleth) Warnings: None
‘The paramedic would take her breath away, if the asthma hadn’t done it for her.’ Keyleth falls for Pike in a modern AU.
Reccer Says: Enjoyable and well written fic of Keyleth falling for Pike in a modern AU. Explores Keyleth as a character with anxiety and it's a great, gentle depiction of falling in love with great characterisation despite the rare pair.
Tumblr media
Live your whole life on a might-have-been by Chrome (2,681 words, Teen) Pairing: Veth Brenatto/Caleb Widogast (Widobrave) Warnings: None
Just a very short and atmospheric peice set in a modern au where Caleb and Veth met at university, and he’s driving her part of the way home for the holidays.
Reccer Says: I can’t describe the feelings this fic gives me. It’s understated and bittersweet and so full of longing that you’ll want to die. It feels like a Hemingway story almost with the way it manages to pack so much meaning in between the words the characters actually say.
Tumblr media
And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes by SunshineAndaLittleFlour (1,007 words, Teen) Pairing: Mollymauk Tealeaf/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Shadowidomauk) Warnings: Drunk kissing
Molly didn’t realize he probably shouldn’t be kissing someone else’s partner until after he’d already started doing it.
Reccer Says: This fic, this whole series in fact, is absolutely wonderful! Its fun, flirty and emotional as well as smutty and one of the best stories/series for the purple boys and their ginger partner. Always a delight to read and this fic starts an awesome series off wonderfully!
Tumblr media
softly, softly by maricolous (837 words, Teen) Pairing: Fjord/Mollymauk Tealeaf (Fjolly) Warnings: None
Fjord comes home from his shitty retail job to Molly, his roommate-turned-partner. They make out about it.
Reccer Says: It’s very cute and sweet, with a side of what feels Fjolly-typical horniness. It’s a fun little fic!
Tumblr media
if we were a movie by burningdarkfire (8,800 words, Teen) Pairing: Jester Lavorre/Beauregard Lionett (Beaujes) Warnings: None
Jester decides to try and set Caleb and Essek up and ropes Beau into it. Cue many “friend” double-dates, a classic disaster lesbian Beau crush, attempts at coping with it, delightful romcom nonsense, a fun side of Shadowgast, and a very sweet ending.
Reccer Says: It’s silly, it’s fun, it’s heartfelt. Everyone’s voices are so on-point and every moment Feels like them. Beau is a mess and I love her, I want to squish Jester in my hands, and the wizards are menaces of a side pairing. Also the conversation between Beau and Essek at the maid cafe is so good.
Tumblr media
candy hearts (so sweet on you) by thaumasilva (5,149 words, General) Pairing: Jester Lavorre/Beauregard Lionett (Beaujes) Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Implied Stalking (not between Beaujes)
Beau keeps visiting the gift wrapping station at the mall to get her Winter’s Crest presents wrapped, and the cute tiefling working there keeps giving her candy hearts with flirty messages, or: Three times Beau wanted to ask Jester out, and the one time she didn’t have to.
Reccer Says: It's just a sweet as the name implies, aaaa it's so cute
Tumblr media
Intervention by VioletTeaTime (1,965 words, Teen) Pairing: Fjord/Caleb Widogast (Widofjord) Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Fjord intimidates the guy bothering bartender!Beau’s favorite customer into taking a hint and leaving. Then he gets flirted with and Beau complains about having to watch.
Reccer Says: ace fjord my beloved <3 also the boys' background friendships with Beau are very sweet
Tumblr media
all actions and reactions by grayintogreen (2,879 words, General) Pairing: Astrid Beck/Jester Lavorre (Jestrid) Warnings: Depression, Burn-out
One of her friends suffered a breakdown, the other found religion, and now Astrid Beck, suffering from burnout and stress and a myriad of other things a pre-law student can suffer, has found the cherry on her misery sundae. Someone keeps buying all of the cinnamon scones she loves, and now she must end them.
Reccer Says: An amazing translation of the characters into a Modern AU, and surprisingly sweet

Okok so I genuinely think I have the fattest crush on Dominic like it’s actually insane I’m gnawing at the bars of my enclosure and was just wondering if you at all knew his age range? Or if any part of him would change when finding out the person he admires has autism??
I understand if the last question is touchy, you don’t have to answer it if you don’t want to! I totally understand.
I’m so excited for more of your work related to him!! I admire the way you write, like something about it idk how to explain it.
Have an amazing day, you’re fucking awesome!! 🫶🫶
Thank you so, so much for your wonderful words, my Darling ^^ ! They uplift me and bring me a special, heartwarming kind of joy <3. I just know that Dominic would absolutely adore you (as scary as that may sound hahaha) — your kindness is a cherished virtue, and I welcome it with an open heart 🫶
To answer your questions: I imagine Dominic to exist within the 35-45-year age range, but his age is entirely up to your interpretation. In regards to if his obsession has autism, Dominic would — as sad as it is to say — use it to his own ends.
For example, if you’re particularly tactile and display high sensitivity towards certain textures, sounds, colours, etc. he’ll incorporate said elements into environments outside of his own home (given that he can control it — like his workplace, for example) in order to try and distress you, to make you feel comfortable only within the confines of his house, which he will ensure is completely devoid of any of your triggers, to encourage you to visit him and stay more often.
Likewise, if his Beloved has little empathy, he’ll show you parts of himself few people have ever seen, gradually revealing his own lack of empathy (albeit, his is a result of something else entirely). Conversely, if his Beau has an excess of empathy, he’ll guilt them into spending more time with him, babysitting his sons more frequently, coming to help him with bits and bobs around the house, etc. If Dominic can find something to exploit, he will. No matter how unethical it is.
Thanks again for writing in, Sweetness ! Feel free to write in again if you have any more questions. Much love <3 !

SuLinda my beloved-
So in the Domestic K-9 AU, Linda's time in Utah was extremely eye-opening for her. She became way more confident, got back on her feet, and realized she was bi thanks to the help of some friends. So she's no stranger to pride parades in the current timeline. But I imagine while on the way to pay a visit to Susan, she stopped by a store that was selling some sweet pride month merch and picked up a lesbian flag and a purple picture frame with violets on it for her darling (and very much deceased) beau
2. "..."
"Well, if you don't like it, I could always return it-"
"No. It's fine. I like it."
3. And now for the aforementioned picture frame. The picture itself isn't anything super special, probably was taken when they were both in their early to mid 20s, but it makes Susan VERY emotional and she stares silently at it for hours on end even after Linda dips. It very quickly becomes her most prized possession and woe to anyone who DARES touch it

Fjord
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
2. Favorite thing: so much, but I particularly like how good and effective he is at herding the cats of the Mighty Nein. There are many reasons why they bonded so tightly, but a factor was that Fjord early on was insistent that they figure out ways to work together. You can tell how carefully his backstory was constructed; part of why Sabian and Vandran are such beloved figures despite almost no screentime is because you can get such a clear an outline of them from Fjord’s behaviors and discussions that is honestly more thorough than that of some fully introduced NPCs. Getting back to the original point, you can tell from early on that this is someone accustomed to team dynamics under pressure (ie, a sailor). In general, everything we learned about Fjord, as it was revealed, made me go “ohhhhhhh yeah that makes sense,” which is in my opinion the sign of incredibly skilled storytelling and character building.
3. This is tough; this is a character I truly love and I am always team “this person’s flaws are an important part and erasing them means you do not fucking get it," so like, I am in favor of his perfectionism and control issues and closed-off-ness and in case it's not clear from my Midst blogging and which characters I'm drawn to there, nor my enjoyment of Vex, a particular vibe of which he is one of the best examples. I also, admittedly, am defensive because while people watching C2 now without all the fandom discourse of C2 tend to enjoy him, he got done rather dirty by the fandom and was the recipient of basically every single thing I dislike that fandoms do (he is not alone; Keyleth got this with the added complication of rampant misogyny, and Veth got shades of this too, and all have similarly been received much better by people watching without fandom influence). So, for example, while I would love to have seen more of his backstory in-game, I am hesitant to say that because, well, ever notice how Caduceus was sidelined by the party and we didn't explore his past but Fjord avoided his backstory? Ever notice how Caleb's asshole behaviors are because of trauma but Fjord (grew up in a Dickensian orphanage, bullied over his race to the point of willing self-harm from a young age, betrayed, stabbed, and left to drown at which point he was forced into a warlock pact he didn't remember) is just an asshole? (I'm saying this as someone who very much likes Caduceus and Caleb, but this was blatant from the fandom, and pretty constant too.) So to be clear I think he has plenty of flaws, as a complex character, but I do not dislike those flaws as canonical aspects of him.
Anyway. The joke but also kind of true answer is, as Laura herself pointed out, why did he wait 7 entire years to propose to Jester.
25. I liked him from the start but Beau was actually my favorite in early C2! I liked the top table (and what faint impressions I had of Yasha) from the start, but Fjord had the Percy and Vex trait of "guy who can act normal in a social situation when no one else can" for the first stretch of the campaign, which meant he was high up there but didn't move up in my estimation until he started to reveal how civilizedly (not a real word, but vitally important as a modifier here for a number of reasons) unhinged and insecure he was.

hi!
may we please have lord elrond with a reader whos always sleepy?
i get butterflies when i think of him being in love with his sleepy beau!
thank you!!
<3
“Elrond?” You were in a daze, sleep blurring your vision as you blinked them open. It looked like a hallway, you noted as you felt yourself being moved. 
“Shh…” Elrond gently cooed, pressing a kiss to your temple as you curled into his chest once you realized it was him who had a hold of you whilst he continued carrying you to your shared chambers. 
“Where we…” Your words drifted off as sleep threatened to overtake you once more, “Goin?” You finally finished as you opened your eyes wide to try and keep them open in a desperate attempt to stay awake- but he was just so warm. 
“You can sleep, my darling,” His words were so caring, the love in them like a warm blanket wafting over you. “I’m taking you up to our chambers,” 
“What about the meeting?” You spoke soft as you rested your head in the crook of his neck. You recalled the introduction, a kind gentleman- a merchant if you recalled correctly, then as one of the guests followed his introduction with an opening discussion on trade routes all you could remember was feeling oh so sleepy.
“It ended my darling, it’s alright,” Elrond hushed you again, sleep overtaking you as you nodded. 
You were practically always tired, never fully getting enough sleep at night so whenever your mind wasn’t properly stimulated or you were left alone to your own devices, you often napped. 
There were so many instances where Elrond found you sleeping, it was now an expectation to see his beloved napping away in an armchair of the library, the sun hitting you just right to make you feel so so warm. 
As he walked down the hall, Elrond couldn’t help but remember when you fell asleep in his study just yesterday. 
The two of you were taking a break, having been through two meetings, walking the grounds to discuss possible architectural needs of the Imladris- he was surprised you didn’t excuse yourself to rest since you seemed so exhausted. 
But moments like these, they were what he held closest to his heart. 
Elrond started a small fire in the fireplace, bringing out a blanket from the cabinet and pulled out one of your favorite books. 
You were curled up on his chest, the blanket overlaying the two of you as his fingers ran through your hair and along the back of your neck. He was reading out loud in a soft voice, and that combined with the warm blanket and the soothing sensations on your scalp, you were out in no time. 
Elrond peered down from the pages of the novel, a soft smile covering his face as he carefully set the book down on the side table. 
He couldn’t help but to gently press kisses to your forehead as he adjusted to wrapping both arms around you and resting his cheek on your head. 
The two of you fell asleep together, this time you weren’t the only sleepy one.

Most Recent Releases!
Heyo y'all! It's been forever since I last posted about anything here on Tumblr, so... here I am, with a handful of links to my most recent fics! There are a couple of different fandoms (Twilight/Life and Death, FE3H, Madoka Magica, and Ace Attorney) and a couple of different ships (slash and femslash alike), but I had fun writing them all!
(Side note - the final fic on this list, Seduction of the Phoenix Bride just revealed today for the Mitsunaru Day 2024 Exchange!)
[Also, tagging just to remind y'all that I'm still on this weird site XD - @udaberriwrites @mrsmungus @sliebman10 @tsunderesalty @axolotlsupremacyowo @fattybattysblog @bleepbloopbotz @narcissasdaffodil @oceangirl24 @danceswithdarkspawn @hylianjo @lena-hills @bees-and-sunshine @kayedium-writes @aleksandriel @0nelittlebirdtoldme @sergeantneko @four-white-trees @precambrian-sea-pancake @evelinessa @argyleheir alongside many others!]
Danza de las Flores || Twilight, Life and Death Mature || 1500 words || Carine Cullen/Bella Swan (F/F)
Bella swings by Edythe's house to get some help with dancing, only to run into her long-time crush and Edythe's older sister, Carine. Fortunately for her, Carine is very willing to help her out. [Inspired by my musings on a swapped version of my Verse!]
Semper Felidae || Twilight, Life and Death Mature || 3000 words || Carlisle Cullen/Beau Swan (M/M)
From the fall of his beloved Adrian to the return of the curious and all-too-familiar Beauregard, Carlisle and his feline companion, Orion, have borne witness to it all. [A prelude to Apricity from Carlisle's POV, set in my overarching Winter Light Verse]
Febris Amatoria || Twilight, Life and Death Explicit || 1800 words (so far) || Carlisle Cullen/Beau Swan (M/M)
The evolution of Beau's and Carlisle's relationship and intimacy over time, captured through a series of erotic moments set in the Winter Light Verse. [Side note, I finally released chapter 3]
The Sun, Moon, and Stars || Twilight, Life and Death Mature || 900 words || Carine Cullen/Edythe Cullen (F/F)
To Edythe Masen, Doctor Carine Cullen was everything- her sun, her moon, and her stars.
In Draconic Harmony || Fire Emblem Three Houses (FE3H) Mature || 900 words || Dorothea Arnault/Edelgard von Hresvelg (F/F)
After spotting her two advisors sharing a quiet moment together, Edelgard decides to sneak away for an intimate moment of her own.
The Die is Cast || Puella Magi Madoka Magica Mature || 900 words || Akemi Homura/Kaname Madoka (F/F)
The stage, home to Homura's arduous journey, has seen many tragic curtain calls, until an unexpected element enters stage right.
Ruthless Seduction || Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Saiban) Explicit || 1500 words || Miles Edgeworth/Phoenix Wright (M/M)
Miles Edgeworth, prosecutor and magic user, is working a late night at the office when his vampiric partner, Phoenix Wright, decides to swings by. Phoenix is determined to make his partner take a break from his work... except it comes around to bite him in a rather pleasurable way and both of them enjoy the outcome.
Seduction of the Phoenix Bride || Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Saiban) Explicit || 7600 words || Miles Edgeworth/Phoenix Wright (M/M)
After receiving a strange black invitation in the mail one day, Phoenix and Maya take the plunge and meet their client, Lady Franziska von Karma, who asks them to deliver some important paperwork to her brother, Lord Miles Edgeworth. When they arrive at his manor, Phoenix is faced with an overwhelming rush of new, yet strangely familiar sensations and memories, along with some odd circumstances and fantastical dreams as he slowly unravels the mystery.

RUSH || DR3 SMAU + FIC SERIES: a masterlist
Tumblr media
f1 masterlist: a - n o - z
daniel ricciardo x ofc (lester alessandro)
summary: lester alessandro, before she was a bassist of a eurovision winning band, was a daniel ricciardo fan. it was too bad they didn't get to know each other well until monza 2021.
content warning: MY VERY FIRST SMAU SERIES (that's a trigger warning on its own), use of explicit language, 16+ rating
Tumblr media
rush series (x måneskin member!ofc)
honey (are u coming), smau: how lester alessandro got blocked by daniel ricciardo before meeting him in monza 2021. (h)
own my mind, fic: it took lester almost six italian grand prix races to come across daniel ricciardo once more. sure, she was hesitant to speak to him regardless of the fact that she was his fan but the mclaren driver was certain he’d rather cause a stir in the f1 community with her after his win in monza than celebrate his victory with a lot of people. OR the second close encounter between the two of the most unhinged people of f1. (g, h)
read your diary, smau: it's 2021 and everyone thinks that lester and daniel are dating. lesson learned: never underestimate a fan's investigation skills. (g)
mamma mia, smau: an interview with jimmy fallon gives a brief idea of how lester and daniel came to be. (g)
mamma mia (again), smau: a youtube playlist was created to compile clips of danny talking way too much about his beloved girlfriend (f)
gossip, smau: everyone thinks lester's only here to be a formula one girlfriend with a bad reputation. it's not her fault she's confident. (mc, hc, h)
kool kids, smau: lester and daniel are going to new york to see a musical... while babysitting their "kid" (feat. lando norris) (g, h)
timezone, fic: lester wasn't normally like this, but she's more than willing to pay twice the price just to get to the next flight to where he wanted her: his arms, her home. (hc)
if not for you, smau: messages exchanged between lester and others as she takes care of the wolff children and an ex with the poorest decisions to have existed. (feat. lando norris, max verstappen, charles leclerc and characters from a story) (f, g, h)
baby said, smau: many tweets are posted that they don't often mean. their fans thought that his marriage proposal was one of them. (f, g, h)
supermodel, smau: how not to cry when you're talking about the man who'd give you the wedding that you dreamed of? (f, g, h)
rush series: wedding special
london bridge, smau: the alessandro-ricciardo wedding week is nothing of a peaceful week, and the monday only proved that thought right. (feat. f1 drivers) (f, h) - wedding special 1
fergalicious, smau: the grid singles need to touch some grass… or in lando’s case, go swimming. (feat. f1 drivers) (h) - wedding special 2
l'azienda di famiglia (e le donnole dell'isola), smau + fic: the alessandro family arrived and lando and george found themselves alone with two of the sisters. (feat. lando norris and george russell) (f, g) - wedding special 3 ♡
rush series: mrs. ricciardo special
part of you, smau: mrs. lester ricciardo asks her followers what to get her husband for his 35th birthday. little did danny know, she’s already got one ready to surprise him (f, g)
when emma falls in love, smau: as her pregnancy progressed, lester ricciardo made sure that her sanity wouldn't go the other way as she posted a thread of journal entries talking about her pregnancy. (f, h)
slipping through my fingers, smau: beau ricciardo was his dad's carbon copy and his mom's little heartbreaker.
here comes the sun, smau: despite having a red bull driver dad, beau ricciardo - or "little par" - is converted to tifosi, thank god for his full-italian mother. OR lester ricciardo's one year old son and his chaotic dad attended a måneskin concert when the bassist returned to the stage after almost two years of absence. (f, h)
pocketful of sunshine, scenario: beau ricciardo turned one and what's a good way to show his personality besides from showing it in front of an irwin? ★
