-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was another beautiful day in the city of Nueva York. The snow was sticking to the ground and the Christmas spirit was in the air. Everyone in the city was doing their last minute Christmas shopping while making sure they had their ingredients for dinner.
You were not shy to being one of those last minute shoppers. It was the day before Christmas and you were panicking about making sure you had everything to make for dinner. You wanted to treat Miguel well since this was going to be your first Christmas together.
It had been two weeks since the incident with Eddie. Miguel had reassured you of his death and even mentioned something about your parents calling off the engagement. As much as you wanted to ask how, you knew that Miguel was always going to take care of you. It was so reassuring to have him by your side.
Humming quietly to yourself as you walked down the aisle of your old job, you smiled spotting the deli. Your former supervisor gave you a wave and motioned you over. As you drew closer, one of the workers placed a ham inside your cart.
"On the house," Your supervisor said. You just smiled,
"T-Thank you!"
Returning to your shopping, you couldn't stop smiling since this was the first time you were enjoying yourself. It did feel slightly weird since you did have a bodyguard. Miguel wanted to make sure that you were always with someone and safe.
Miguel was sure to make you as comfortable as possible. You were the girlfriend to the leader of the strongest mafia in the city. It was a scary thought.
"Do you have a dress for tomorrow night?" Peter asked, wanting to make small talk since you were getting overwhelmed with the amount of people in the store.
"O-Oh, y-yes...L-Lyla and I...went s-shopping for one...Um...D-Do I need t-to bring...anything?" You asked, getting in line. Peter glanced around,
"Just a smile on Miguel's face. I think that will cheer everyone up," Peter said with a chuckle.
You couldn't help but smile as well. You've gotten to know some of Miguel's men and women. They were all really nice people. Nothing from what the movies portrayed. One might think you were insane for getting comfortable with the mafia.
"O-Oh, P-Peter...could we stop by....one more place....please?" You asked. Peter glanced down at you,
"Of course!"
---------
It was an unusual sight. You were standing in front of a mirror wearing a gorgeous dress. The only issue you were having were your scars. As beautiful as dress was, your scars showed your ugly side. Not even makeup could cover them.
Tears started to well up as you went to grab your sweater. How could you present yourself as Miguel's girlfriend if you looked like this? What were people going to think?
"¿Conejita? (Bunny?), what's wrong?" Miguel asked as he entered the room and saw you crying, "Don't cry, look how beautiful you are!"
"B-But...m-my scars, Miggy," You whimpered. Miguel fixed your hair and pecked your lips,
"Are nothing to be ashamed of, but if you wish to cover them, then I understand." He said and fixed your sweater, "I still love you all the same."
"I...love you too," You sniffed, wiping your tears away, "I...I just don't...want your people...to think...y-you k-know..."
"Whatever they think, they keep to themselves. My people know better than to insult me or you," Miguel whispered, resisting the urge to call you anything but his wife.
"Miggy~" You cooed happily, enjoying these moments.
You glanced at Miguel and squeaked, seeing the lust in his eyes. Before you could protest, Miguel picked you up and placed you on the bed, wanting to hog your beauty all to himself. You whined, afraid of ruining your dress, but Miguel made sure to be careful.
"M-Miguel~ N-No...m-more~ ah~ I-I gotta...s-stand mhm~ f-for the p-party!" You cried out as he bullied his cock into you.
"Just once more, baby. I want everyone to know that you're mine." Miguel hissed as he sucked on your neck.
You arched your back, moaning loudly as Miguel grew rougher with his thrusts. His grip was tight against your hips as his dick rubbed against your sweet spot, causing you to cum. Shaking in pleasure, you whimpered as Miguel kept his pace, painting your insides white.
"M-Miggy," You panted softly. Miguel licked his lips, glancing down at you,
"Just one more, please?"
-------------
Your face was flustered as you held onto Miguel. Your legs were shaky and quite numb, so Miguel had to carry you into the party. It was none the less embarrassing. Plus, your neck was covering with Miguel's love bites.
"T-This is embarrassing," You whispered. Miguel chuckled softly as he entered the Alchemax building,
"It's only for a short while. I usually stay at this party for an hour, the other two hours." He explained and placed you on your feet, "But, if you want to leave early to continue celebrating Christmas-"
"Mhpm!" You huffed your cheeks out, giving a slight glare towards your sex driven boyfriend, "W-We're b-binge watching m-movies remember?" You whined. Miguel couldn't hold back his laugh,
"I know, baby. I can't help but tease." You felt captivated by his smile, "Just stay by my side, okay?"
"O-Okay,"
Everything felt like it was moving so fast. You refused to let go of Miguel, not used to the fancy party life. Alchemax was different and you weren't sure if you liked it yet. The food was fancy and the people seemed snobby. It was no wonder why Miguel wasn't too fond of this job.
The only good thing about this party was that people only paid half a mind to you. Everyone tried to avoid Miguel unless it was a simple introduction. Miguel was the CEO, he had to make his rounds and a small speech.
Sitting a small private table, you smiled as Miguel handed you a small plate of food. He kissed your head and went up to the stage to make his yearly speech. After he was done, the two of you were going to go to his more 'lively' party as Miguel called it.
"Is she dating the boss?"
"Can't be, look at her."
"But those marks-"
"Just a fling. We have a better chance."
Ah, there is was. You hadn't left Miguel's side until now, so you had avoided hearing the whispers about you. Of course, everyone was curious about you. The CEO of their company had brought a girl they had never seen before.
You wanted to tell them that you were Miguel's girlfriend. You wanted to tell them that they were wrong. That they would never stand a chance with Miguel, but you were still afraid. Just because you had gotten comfortable with Miguel, didn't mean that you were ready to confront others yet.
"Please, do enjoy the rest of the night. My wife and I have other matters to attend. I shall see you all in the New Year," Miguel spoke before leaving the stage.
You hadn't even heard his last part, still playing with your sweater sleeves about what those girls said. You didn't even notice Miguel approach you from behind, his arms wrapping around yours.
"You didn't eat. Was the food not to your liking?" He asked. You flinched and shook your head,
"S-Sorry...I um...spaced out." You whispered and scooted closer to him, "A-Are we leaving...?"
"Yes, perhaps you'll like the food there better."
Miguel lifted you up, ignoring your small protests and his staring underlings. He held you close until the two of you arrived at his other party. It was already lively since some of the Peters had gotten a little drunk.
"C-Can I ask-" You giggled lowly, seeing Miguel's slightly annoyed expression, "H-How did you come to hire so many p-people with the s-same name?"
"I don't know. I really don't know," Miguel huffed and watched as his mafia went wild, "Let me get you a pla-"
"THE BOSS'S WIFE WANTS FOOD!" One of the Peter's yelled. You were too focused on Miguel leading to a table to hear the yelling,
"BRING THE QUEEN HER FOOD!"
"FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!"
"What the hell are they going on about now?!" Miguel barked. Lyla came over with Jessica and a few other girls,
"Everyone's excited to finally meet (Y/N). They're bringing her a plate of food now," She said with a grin.
"E-Excited to s-see...me?" You questioned in shock.
"Yea, you're the one who thawed this grumps heart." Jessica hummed while Gwen and Margo snickered to themselves.
Miguel kept his quiet glare since you were enjoying their company. He turned his attention to his drunk underlings who brought you a large enough plate to even feed Miguel. Wondering if he should make his speech now, Miguel waited on you.
He enjoyed the smile on had on your face as you talked to the girls. Your eyes sparkling ever so slightly at the mountain of food. You seemed to be happy here, that's what mattered.
"I'll be right back," Miguel whispered in your ear.
You shivered in delight and pecked his lips, wishing him luck. Miguel groaned lowly, hurrying to the main stage to calm his eager crowd. Oh, how tempting you were still. Miguel was going to make sure to keep on giving all night long.
"Excited to give Miguel your gift tomorrow?" Lyla asked, ignoring Miguel's speech. You felt your cheeks warm up,
"I-I really...r-really hope he likes it."
"He will. Miguel will cherish anything you give him."
"I trust you all to keep this city safe again this year. My wife and I shall lead this family to success-"
"I-I'm just worried...t-that he'll think it's...cheap..."
"Miguel doesn't care about that. Listen to this, his brother gave him a baseball from one of his games and Miguel still has it in a glass case!" Lyla grinned.
"As you've all seen, my wife is quite shy and nervous when it comes to new people, so I expect you all to behave and-"
"O-Oh, yes! M-Miguel told me that story. It's s-super sweet," You cooed, hiding your smile, "S-So...he will like my g-gift~"
"HEIR! HEIR! HEIR!"
"The hell are they yelling now?" Jessica huffed, crossing her arms towards the crowd. You titled your head, drinking some wine,
"Hair?"
"Ignore them," Lyla snickered.
You were still confused, but kept enjoying your meal and drink. Eventually Miguel returned and cozied up to you, claiming that he needs a break already. You laughed at his childishly behavior, but indulged anyway.
After a while, you were tipsy and ready to go home. As ready as you were to sleep, Miguel made sure to keep you up for a few more hours.
Tis was the season of giving after all.
---------
You let out a soft whine as Miguel scooped you up from the bed. He had you wrapped in the blanket, carrying you over to his large living room. You rubbed your eyes, glancing at his beautiful Christmas tree and tons of gifts placed below it.
You gasped at the sight, shocked to see so many presents. Miguel chuckled towards your reaction and placed you down on the couch. He pecked you lips and went to bring some eggnog. You were still in shock, wondering if your gift was going to be good enough again.
"Where would you like to start, Mi pequeño conejita (my little bunny)?" Miguel asked, handing you a mug. You glanced towards him, placing the cup against your lips,
"C-Can I...give y-you your gift...first?" You asked.
Miguel happily agreed if that was your wish. Miguel watched you struggle to grab his present from a hidden spot. You were cute as you struggled to walk. Returning to the couch, you let out an 'oomph' as you fell on Miguel, handing him his present.
"M-Merry Christmas!" You chirped.
Miguel brought you into his embrace, opening the gift with ease. His eyes widen, seeing that you got him a glass Spider figure. Miguel glanced towards you, watching as you touched the spider, opening a small compartment.
"Tadaaa," You chirped. Miguel glanced inside the compartment and chuckled,
"Chocolate hearts? How cute, you can't even tell they were in there."
"I-I've noticed that y-you liked Spiders....y-you know, before I-I knew you were part of the S-Spider mafia. T-The hearts...I um...I wanted to um....r-represent...m-my love...for you." You stuttered, feeling slightly embarrassed now.
"I love it, mi amor (my love)" Miguel brought you in for a deep kiss, "Allow me to give you one special gift first."
You could feel small hearts floating above your head as Miguel kept giving you kisses here and there. He went behind the tree and brought you a medium size gift. Curious, you opened it and saw that Miguel got you a custom made puzzle.
"Let's build it together," He whispered in your ear.
You muffled a whimper as Miguel sat you between his legs. You could feel your heart race as his hands engulfed yours. The two of you were working on a special puzzle together. You were both nervous and excited to see what it will form into.
"Will?" You questioned.
"Keep going,"
A shiver ran down your spine as Miguel kept whispering and kissing your ear. He grabbed your hands, working on the other side of the puzzle now.
"Me?"
"Ten piedad, te voy a devorar si sigues siendo tan linda. (Have mercy, I'm going to devour you if you keep being this cute.)" Miguel groaned.
You bit your lower lip as you kept working on the puzzle. You could feel Miguel's erection already, making you really wonder what the puzzle was. Your eyes started to widen as you saw another word being formed. Miguel then covered your eyes as his hands motioned yours to finish the puzzle.
"Ready?" Miguel moved his hands away from yours eyes.
"Will you m-marry me?" You gasped in awe, then turned to face Miguel, "Y-Yes! Yes!" You cried, tackling him in a hug. Miguel wrapped his arms around you waist, laying against the floor,
"(Y/N), I love you so, so much. I promise to take care of you now and forever," Miguel said with a low hum. This time, you were the one to cover him in kisses,
"M-Miguel, t-thank you so much f-for treating me well. I-I love you so much it hurts! I-I can't wait to be called your wife!"
"Oh? I've been calling you that all night." Miguel chuckled lowly, sliding your panties down, "I thought it was so cute how you didn't hear a single one."
"Y-You were?!"
"Everyone knows that you're my wife," Miguel laughed, sitting back up and kissing you deeply, "And now, you will be."
"Thank you, M-Miguel," You pecked his lips happily. Miguel picked you up, hovering over you on the couch,
"No, thank you, (Y/N)."
Every one is a puzzle just waiting to find their missing pieces. It may take some time and there maybe moments where you think you found the right piece, but patience will reward you in the end. For you will finally find all of your puzzle pieces eventually.

Spider Outta The Bag | Miguel O'Hara
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Miguel O'Hara x Spider-Woman!Reader
Summary: Miguel is fed up with LYLA pestering him about his crush on you… only for him to accidentally confess the feelings in front of you.
Word count: ~1,3K
Warnings: Fluff, banter, possibly OOC Miguel?, TSSM series ending spoilers, LYLA being a sassy ahh mf, accidental confession, oblivious Y/N,
A/N: First Miguel fic woop woop, and if there's any inaccurate Spanish, please tell me! Also, I think it'd be nice to use the Peter from The Spectacular Spider-Man, who appeared on ATSV briefly as Y/N's mission partner in this fic instead of someone like Miles, Hobie, Jess Drew, or Ben. TSSM!Peter's world is canonically Earth-26496 in the Marvel wiki so that's why I wrote it that way.
Also, based after this prompt !
Tumblr media
For the upteenth time, LYLA sighed at Miguel, who only did nothing but sit down and think. “Wow, Miguel, I swear you’re way more shy than a high schooler crushing on someone.” the AI groaned, shifting her form so she’s now sitting on top of her boss’s shoulder as she filed her nails. “Since she’s gonna go for a mission later thanks to an anomaly in Earth-26496 with the Peter from that world, why can’t you just tell her when you call her here for the mission briefing? That’ll save you way more time instead of wasting your time waiting for her to confess instead!”
His growing feelings towards you (and how he constantly tried to deny it) were often challenged if someone else teased him about it. While it’s usually 
his AI assistant that pestered him about his silly schoolboy crush, Dr. O’Hara also had got a fair amount of spider people who teased him to try to make him ask you out. From Jess, the Peter with a 5 o'clock shadow who almost always had baby Mayday on his side, Hobie, while not close with him, tends to make little jabs on how Miguel “was always buzzin’ to see Y/N”, even the melodramatic hunk Ben Reilly joined in at times. 
Yet at the same time, deep down he always yearned for you to return his feelings. 
“For the last time, LYLA. I’m not in love with Y/N L/N.” Miguel grumbled, pinching the bridge of his nose. 
LYLA’s projection shifted again so she’s now in front of his face, arms crossed as she popped a bubble of bubblegum as pink as her heart shaped shades.
“My goodness, you’re doing it again.” 
“What thing? I didn’t say anything bad before.” Miguel gestured with his hands to try to prove LYLA’s only joking or making some sort of false accusations to toy with him. 
“That thing! Where you’re so in love with someone yet pretend you’re not in love with them!” The AI bursted into laughter at how bad he is at pretending he’s not being lovestruck. “Every day you whine about how you don’t love Y/N yet whenever someone says it in front of your handsome face, you often look at her like a lost puppy whenever she’s in the room or whenever you two go on missions together. I’d say you’re one of the funniest in terms of the spider people being in love.” she chortled. 
Miguel shot LYLA a glare, shutting her mouth up once she was faced with a pair of angry scarlet orbs. The AI tried to open her mouth again but she was cut off by him.
“Then what am I supposed to say? Hey Y/N, I’m so deeply in love with you that you’re all I think about all the time-”
“-what?”
Before he knew it, he was interrupted by two familiar voices exclaiming at the same time. His jaw dropped agape, the scarlet hues in his now widened eyes dimmed down at the sheer shock that crept through him when one of the people who just walked into his office was Y/N L/N out of everyone else. 
“…LYLA?” 
“Yes?” 
“Why didn’t you tell me Y/N is coming?” he scolded, trying to hide the nervousness in his voice.
“I was trying to tell you that but you cut me off.”
On the other hand, the embarrassment also hit you, especially because you still couldn’t believe what you and the Peter from Earth-26496 - or as you’d nickname him, Spectacular Peter had just witnessed. Peter and you settled on the nickname when you praised his performance, calling him “spectacular” in a mission and you used that nickname to distinguish him from the many other Peters in the Spider Society. 
Miguel O’Hara just accidentally confessed he’s in love with you.
“Estupendo.” With his back now facing you and Peter, Miguel huffed in frustration and embarrassment. “Just make sure to tell no one about this.” 
(Great.)
“Miguel, I know I’m supposed to get the details about the mission in Earth-26496 but why didn’t you tell me from the start?” you questioned. “That way at least you wouldn’t have to hide your feelings around me, even if I ashamedly didn’t know about your little crush on me before I heard you saying it in front of me and Peter.” 
Peter, who noticeably appeared more cartoonish than most of his variants who were part of the Spider Society, could only give your shoulder a few comforting pats to attempt to relieve you from the amount of embarrassment by your own boss yet at the same time not cause any more trouble.
“At least it’s not the time when Gwen and I broke up with our partners Harry and Liz just so we can get together with each other… only for me to find out that my best friend’s dad is the Green Goblin soon after.” Peter lamented in remembrance of that very awkward moment in his love life.
Conflict grew even more - perhaps way more than it was within Miguel’s heart before he accidentally revealed his crush in front of you, someone who had no clue he liked you. His heart pounded under his ribs, waiting so hard for it to burst from how uneasy this moment was making him. His combed hair became messier the more he ran his fingers through his hair, as he tends to do it whenever he’s feeling stressed or anxious. 
This had gotta be the time where he should be all serious and make sure you and Peter got the needed information… right? After he calmed down, Miguel instead turned around to face you and your partner for today’s mission, approached you, and gently placed his large hand on your shoulder.
He briefly glanced at Peter (who’s getting really awkward from finding out his boss has a crush on his partner for today’s mission) before fixating his chestnut brown eyes on you. 
“I’m sorry for embarrassing you. I wasn't careful about my words before and I won’t do it again in front of you.” he suddenly retracted his hand after remembering that he’s supposed to give you the details of the anomaly in Earth-26496. 
LYLA projected 2 screens in front of you and Peter as Miguel began his briefing. The first screen displayed the details and a virtual model of a variant of the infamous Scorpion, but this particular version appeared to be a tall and muscular woman donning the Scorpion armor, complete to the venom infused in her tail’s stinger. On the other hand, the second screen displayed the Scorpion variant rampaging in that world’s city center. Police cars surrounded all over her, but to no avail as she started attacking the police officers and citizens began scurrying away from the now dangerous area. 
“Oh, I forgot. A Scorpion variant is rampaging in Earth-26496 and all you two have to do is to take down this anomaly, capture her, then bring her to the HQ so that the Go-Home Machine can send her back to her native dimension.”
“By the way, she looks to be quite tough because she’s armed with a venom stinger in her tail, so you both have to be careful or else you’ll suffer from hallucinations and fatigue induced by her venom.” LYLA added.
“I wish you two luck with today’s mission.” Miguel said firmly, ending the briefing for today’s mission. 
“We will, Miguel.” Peter replied. 
He immediately opened a portal to his native world for you two to go in and immediately stepped inside, but right when you were about to step inside the portal, Miguel stopped you.
“So… would you like to go to dinner tonight with me? Maybe I can take you to my favorite place in Nueva York once you and Peter are done handling the anomaly. For our first date.” you turned around at his offer. 
“I’d love to, but I have to go now. I’ll see you again!” 
“You too.” he smiled. 
With a last wave towards him, you went in the portal and it closed itself right after. Now what’s left to do is for you to help Peter capture the Scorpion variant anomaly and bring her back to the HQ, just as you were told.

Moustache Vandalism
This is a bit of a birthday present for myself, I guess. Haven't written about ITSV for a while, so I might be a little rusty.
Miles was fidgeting as he watched Hobie inspect the paint supplies that he had borrowed. "This can't be a good idea," Miles said.
"This isn't about whether or not it's a good idea. This is about making your mark on the place," Hobie said, as he dipped a paintbrush into a bucket. "Now, watch the master at work, Peter Pan."
Miles could only gasp as he watched Hobie paint a cartoonish red twirly moustache onto a picture of Miguel O'Hara. "Proper Spidey colours, here. I get red, and you can have blue." He handed over a pot of blue paint to an emboldened Miles, and the two got to work.
They looked on when they finished and grinned. Miguel now had a thin red moustache, a blue eyepatch, red devil horns and a little blue bow in his hair. "Nice job, mate," Hobie grinned, as a large shadow fell over them.
"What in the world?" Miguel growled. Miles let out a squeak of terror and Hobie groaned.
"Dammit," he groaned, turning around to see Miguel O'Hara looming over them, Lyla hovering over his shoulder.
"Ooh, you two are in trouble," Lyla sang. "Also, nice job to whoever drew the moustache."
"That was me," Hobie said.
"Get over here!" Miguel yelled.
"And now for the fun part!" Hobie laughed, grabbing Miles and racing off.
"What's he going to do if he catches us?" Miles asked.
"Lecture us, probably," Hobie said.
"Actually, he's made a new gambit for people that prank him. Also, you guys were never in his good books," Lyla said.
"I don't believe in goodness," Hobie said. He was about to say more, but then they fell into a pit.
"Good, I finally caught you," Miguel said, as Hobie and Miles did their best to escape. "Don't bother, I greased up the walls so you wouldn't be able to climb up them."
"Good to know. What exactly do you plan on doing to us?" Miles asked, his doe eyes widening in impending terror.
"You'll be spending some time in the gauntlet for your troubles, primo," Miguel said, a cruel smile growing on his face.
(PAUSE)
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Miles yelled, as a family of large spiders caressed his sides with their front legs and mouths. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-HEEELP! HOBIEHEHEHEHEHE!"
"YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Hobie laughed, being of no use. The spiders were especially interested in his piercings, stroking his face and pulling up his shirt to see his belly button piercing. "YOU LIHIHIHIHITLLE SH-AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Where exactly did you get those spiders from in the first place?" Jessica asked.
"Another dimension. They're harmless and really friendly," Miguel said, smiling faintly. "Also, almost every Spidey has heightened sensitivity post-bite. It's going to be brutal for them, and it'll teach them a lesson about defacing my picture."
"Didn't think that you had a soft spot for these kids," Lyla teased.
"I don't," Miguel said, the smile now gone.
"Sure you don't," Lyla and Jess chorused.

For the "send a character" - Corentin from Triangle Strategy
MY GUY
First impression: Not gonna lie, I legit thought he was going to be some sort of tough late-game boss, the dragon to Lyla's big boss or something. He just, his design looked very "I'm a villain" and the information about "a mysterious and powerful ice mage working for Lyla" I got the chapter before didn't clue me in at all that he was supposed to be recruitable. Imagine my surprise when I got to take control of him in the battle and then when he gave his "actually I hate my government and I need to get out of here" speech at the end of the chapter.
Impression now: He is...a dork, and I say this in the most loving way possible. I mean yes, he's also very intelligent and all that good stuff, but this guy's like, a bona fide nerd through and through, and he's actually so nice. The more serious lines he has in some of the late-game battles also give him a bit more depth past his devotion to his research, although I wish he had more time in the story to expand his character.
Favorite moment: All of them? Again, he doesn’t get a lot of moments per se. Although his asking Serenoa to allow him to join House Wolffort so he could flee Hyzante is probably where we get the most insight into his character and what drew me to him instantly.
Idea for a story: I think it would be fun to do a series of short stories in the style of the character stories, but with more characters. So, for Corentin specifically, this would mean short stories with his interactions with people other than Erador (which don’t get me wrong, I loved Corentin’s character stories, but I wanted more). Like, in-game I kinda wish we could have seen more interactions between him and Frederica since he was interested in her magic, but being from Hyzante comes with the baggage of how Hyzante treats the Roselle, and it would have been interesting to see the tension between the two. Likewise wish he had more time to talk w/ Geela since he sorta recognizes her in Ch3, but that never gets followed up on. Or Medina who also escaped Hyzante, or...well anyone and everyone I guess.  So yeah, just short stories that act like extra character stories.
Unpopular opinion: I don’t feel like the game has a following large enough to warrant truly unpopular takes, but I do remember seeing some things talking about how he wasn’t as good of a unit in-battle as Rudolf. Yet Corentin was hands-down one of my most powerful characters, especially once I got the TP on Ice skill for him? Then again, the battle strategies I like to use for these types of games lent themselves well to having him freeze a few squares and park himself on them and wait for enemies to come near, which is mostly how I ended up using him and most of my other mages and archers as well. Anyhow, he’s a lethal unit if you know how to use him, and I stand by that there’s no truly bad units in the game.
Favorite relationship: I guess with Erador since that’s all the game gave us, but it’s a wonderful friendship, and I love the dynamic even if I am a bit skittish about drunkeness in general.
Favorite headcanon: I’ve talked about it before, but despite Corentin’s focus on war-time uses for his magic research, I think he’s able to easily transition his research during the peace-time to focus on uses for ice magic outside of battle, including things like refrigeration or fantasy air conditioning. I just think it would be a neat inversion of the “scientist forced to use their intellect for war” trope I see a lot, to have a “scientist (basically) able to turn their intellect from war to peace”.
