#and Mc complaining how people suck at romance

Yandere Asmodeus x Cupid Mc

A/N: This was unedited and scrambled. I might add on to this in the future- but for now this is just some brain rot lol. If anyone wants to add on or use this idea for themselves, feel free! Just give me credit ^^

____________________________

Cupid! Mc who would spend centuries doing their duties as a cupid, walking amongst the human world and influcing the feeling of love amongst people.

Cupid! Mc, who was the cupid of Eros, often pondered if demons could ever fall in love. Love is a natural feeling, whether it be platonic, romantic, or familial - so could the worst of the worst feel something genuine like that?

Cupid! Mc was curious when they heard about the exchange program for angels, demons, and humans to get along. Maybe they would get to meet new creatures alike!

Cupid! Mc, who decided to apply to the program out of pure wonder if a creature who was neither angelic, demonic, or human could join the Royal Academy of Diavolo.

Cupid! Mc who often found themselves the main attraction of the school. Somehow, always finding a group of demons staring at them with malicious intent.

Cupid! Mc who somehow found themselves befriending a group of incubi and sucubi. It was eye-opening meeting a bunch of beings who were the polar opposite of you. Regardless, they helped you around while they bombarded you with questions.

Cupid! Mc, after staying in devildom for years, would eventually be introduced to the king of lust himself, Asmodeus. With the personification of love being in hell, of course, the personification of lust would come along.

Asmodeus! Who would rush at you with exciment, stating how he's it's been a while since he's encountered a cupid and asked how your goddess the "Bitchy jealous Aphrodite" was doing.

Asmodeus! Who would always stick by your side, claiming how a dove like you should be careful in hell. Generously offering to be your tour guide while he showered you with companionship.

Asmodeus! As the king of lust, was surprisingly modest with you. To your surprise, he was in no rush to get in between your pants but rather trying his hardest to keep his reputation with you on a good note.

Asmodeus! Who you soon got to know as a close friend was a selfish individual. Casually sleeping with those left and right while breaking hearts along the way simply because he was bored.

Cupid! Mc, who doesn't expect much from the avatar of lust just simply accepts him for who he is. They don't understand why lust is so tempting for someone.. Regardless, they simply turn the other way and continue to treat Asmodeus as a friend.

Cupid! Mc, who begins to find themselves closer with Asmodeus. No longer seeing them just as the avatar of lust - but a trustworthy friend they could gossip with and someone to go to advice.

Asmodeus! Who is conflicted about how he feels about Mc begins to question them and their relationship. After all, someone always wants something..

"Why are you still here with me? I'm not trying to be pretentious or anything, but..I'm..Well y'know? Isn't that enough to drive you away?"

"No..Not really. I mean I know what you are, and I know what you've done. You can't help it! It's just who you are"

"W-Well, yeah..I guess. But you're okay with that?"

"Ruining people's lives, preying on innocent people. No. Of course not! But, you've been good to me, and I think that's the best you've done. Why? Aren't you usually like 'Oh! Well they deserved it!' Or 'Meh, sucks to be them'?"

"I mean yeah! They were asking for it. It's not like I directly ruined their lives. They came to me first! But you..Aren't you disgusted of me?"

"No, actually not at all. I get it. We're similar actually. Constantly chasing a high that only someone can give us..Yeah?"

"Yeah..You..You get me"

________________________

Asmodeus! Who gained a new perspective about you eversince that conversation begins to feel..Anxious about you. He's never felt this way, and he hates it. He's never felt so insecure about his relationship with someone.

Asmodeus! Who begins to scratch at his skin whenever he sees you talk amongst other demons. Jealousy..He's never felt it before with others.. Why was it with you?

Asmodeus! Who wants to get rid of this awful feeling, sleeps around with whoever he can find. Trying to distract himself from you plauging his mind. But no matter what, it never helped..

Asmodeus! Who slowly loses his mind whenever you speak your mind. When was the last time someone spoke to him without wanting something? If you were to leave, would he ever have that again?

Asmodeus! Who slowly reveals his ugly flaws around you. He's slowly falling at the seems with his alienated feelings towards you..

Asmodeus! Who finally snaps under the pressure of his internal struggle decides to do something about it. His solution? Keeping you locked up until he figures out what you are to him and what he wants with you.

Asmodeus! Who sweetly smiled at you, wrapping his arms around your waist while cooing those words that seemed to mush inside your head.

Asmodeus! Who had successfully lulled you inside his room keeps you locked up in a nice set of chains.

Asmodeus! Who reveals himself to be a desperate and emotionally starved demon, whines for your attention and affection. Threatening to clip off your wings whenever you ignore him, blaming you for bewitching him to fall in love with you. That's what it was, right?!

Asmodeus! Who after pulling you into a kiss realises what you are to him. You're more than just a typical hookup or 'partner'. You were someone he genuinely loved. Which was embarrassing him to admit since he always believed:

"Love and lust cannot mix. Literally, I'm not capable of it. No matter how much someone treats me good, unfortunately for them, I won't fall in love. Hell, I don't think I've ever had an actual butterflies in my stomach crush for anyone!"

Asmodeus! Even though obessed and greedy for your attention- it is pathetically starved for your approval. He won't push any moves on you, but he'll constantly shower you with kisses, self care, and gifts just to see you contempt!

.

(Annd that's all I have. I'm too sick to write anything else. But I have a lot of thoughts about these two! So I'll add more in the future)

The CN novels that inspired Ghost Games

All of these story recommendations have mlm or gay romances!! I wish I could offer other kinds of romance/horror CN novels but none of them inspire me much. Click on the names for the links!

Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin: (recommended) A man dies and a system gets attached to him, before he goes into multiple worlds and saves the people he transmigrates into

(A brilliant webnovel that I absolutely adore because it manages to circumvent every bad stereotype of QT novels but the translations are slow. Ghost Games is specifically inspired by its 5th arc) [UNCOMPLETED]

Supernatural Movie Actor App: (recommended) A man finds an app where he has to "act" in horror movies to earn points for his wish to make his lover a body

(An amazing webnovel that is filled with fun, action, and suspense; the main characters are brilliant and I loved how each arc keeps you excited) [COMPLETED]

Card Room: A policeman and a forensic scientist accidentally fall into a game where they have to go through different trials in order to survive

(A fun and mysterious novel, tho it's very long (around 500 chapters) and I stopped halfway through) [COMPLETED]

Edit: I finished it! I recommend it only if you have the time to read it through, and although the ending suffered bc the author got lazy, it was actually a fun and interesting read! The cards/trials were all super interesting, so I had fun! (Recommended)

Kaleidoscope of Death: (recommended) A man accidentally enters the 12 doors, which is a supernatural event that can either save him or kill him

(Everyone and their mother is in the reviews section with EXACTLY identical reviews: "this novel is great but the plot twist is trash. Five stars" 💀. I agree with them. A fantastic and HELLA scary novel but as long as you avoid the extras (which holds the plot twist), the novel is amazing. After reading it, I was afraid to open cabinets for a while and no longer feared death 😔 it is so bloody) [COMPLETED]

High Energy QR Code: (recommended) A man tries to investigate his brother's death, and in doing so, falls into a game world

(I really enjoyed this fic bc it's similar to Supernatural Movie Actor App where the MC is naturally intelligent without seeming obnoxious, and the stories and arcs are all well thought out, creative, and fun. There's also somewhat found family, which I love. It was so much better than what I was expecting, but then again, the author has always made amazing stories (They’ve literally created the most highly rated novel on NovelUpdates and that novel inspired me as a person fr fr no cap. Highly recommend!!! It will change your life!!)) [UNCOMPLETED]

A Crowd of Evil Spirits Line Up to Confess to Me: A man who can see ghosts gets pulled into a ghost game, but there's always a ghost in it that seems to fall in love with him

(A fun novel with a protagonist that is kind but doesn't feel like Virgin Mary, but the translations are slow and I stopped reading bc of it) [UNCOMPLETED]

Non-Human Seeing Re-Employment: An ancient ghost finally gets his own human body before he gets sucked into a horror game

(A nonsensical and crackish webnovel with overpowered MC and ML; read it for fun, not for plot) [COMPLETED]

After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle: A ghost gains a new body and then gets himself transported into a horror game to earn wishes

(Actually, I dropped this story really early on bc it was like… a less interesting and more boring version of Supernatural Movie Actor App 😶 like it had nearly all the same ideas but it was executed quite plainly and when I caught myself complaining about it, I realized I didn’t have to suffer through it so I dropped it. It’s not bad, just ordinary imo. One of its arcs DID inspire me tho so… you can make your own opinions about it) [COMPLETED]

#story recommendation #danmei #ghost game au #dpxdc #dcxdp #if you’d like to chat more about my recs or CN novels in general I am here and willing to talk :3 #don’t be afraid :))) ask me questions :))) go on :))) ask :))) #feel free to ask questions #cn novels #translated literature

Was thinking about the Liam/Henri/Dakota situation and how it kinda sucks for those of us who are romancing them, especially since a lot of people are switching their LIs over it.

It would've been nice if they'd done it LITG-style where the people who believe Justin change depending on their relationship with MC - so either your LI is never the one who believes Justin, or for more drama, the LI always believes Justin.

Granted, they probably didn't expect so many of their players to be LITG refugees with trauma, and of course it's the first season so I'm not gonna complain too much about lack of branching, but they have the relationship levels already built in so it would've been an easy thing to implement!

"LITG refugees with trauma"🤣🤣🤣 mannnn you got that right. That game fucked me up.

And yeah, I'm so much more willing to give them a pass on this one. It'd be great in future seasons if that made a little more sense, but I think it's also nice to have their characters set? Like if Liam and Dakota have been cheated on before, for example. It would make sense as a backstory for them to be immediately more suspicious.

I think it particularly sucks for Liam and Dakota romancers, but it's kind of on-brand for Henri? He's really, really sweet, and unbelievably kind, and he doesn't seem like the type of guy who gets into confrontation very often. He probably didn't want to upset anyone, or accuse anyone of anything, so he sat on the fence and reserved his judgement for Lana.

Which also makes sense if you're romancing him - because he's got skin in the game. He'd be very, very hurt if you'd been hooking up with him, sleeping together, and took him out on a date, and then turned around and hooked up with JUSTIN of all people??? Like ouch, babe. That one hurts.

This might just be me being a Henri apologist because he's so cute, but yeah, I don't put him in the same camp as Liam & Dakota.

actually speaking of I was wandering a bookstore with air and I pointed out a romance novel I read a year or two ago and I was like: this one sucks. and you know why it sucks. okay so you know how sometimes when people complain about the romance genre as a whole they go like ‘ugh why don’t they just TALK about their feelings and RESOLVE everything’ and that’s what this novel did. mc and li just kept talking things out and being on the same page and resolving things. even conflict outside of the relationship just got talked about and resolved, if I remember right li’s brother (or maybe mc’s ex? or maybe mc’s ex was li’s brother? whatever) was antagonistic and dismissive etc and at the end he just goes like ‘yknow what I’ve been acting terribly and I regret that, you guys are in the right, I’ve just been projecting a lot of insecurities and I have to go deal with it now’ and guess what. that is SUUUUUPER BORING it’s SOOOOOO UNSATISFYING like I’m certainly not reading romance for a walk in the park I’m reading it for emotional intensity and interpersonal case studies and also to be entertained. this romance was written like it was modeled after an instructional guide to successful communication and personal growth. man whatever wake me up when someone lies to themselves or other people about their feelings

#or reads #lie and fail for my amusement otherwise fuck off

So, we got your feedback

When I Blazed the advertisement post for my book The Wingman, I got a lot of positive feedback: from the black mc, to the fresh idea of following a homeless man who stays homeless in the end... It was pretty gratifying for me to get such good notes! But there was one criticism that kept reoccurring: the cover.

Now, I'm an adult. I've been online for a while now, and I thought I understood where this was coming from. Eighty percent of this hate is people just being put off by the idea of Blaze and hoping that, if they complained enough, Tumblr would remove it. Sure.

But then we found this unnamed expert who opened our eyes to the REAL problem!

Oh, right! It's the kernelling, duh! How did we not see it? Clearly, the font and the colorations were just ALL WRONG!

And you can't have a standard font with automated spacings! You need to hand-do that stuff, or people will think you published a book by yourself!

And they're right! So I talked with my illustrator, and we worked together to come up with a solution. For the kernelling AND the quality of the artwork!

See? Much better, right? The kernelling is now 100% hand-done, and you can see for yourself that having it fixes every problem people had with the cover! And that legibility is just so much better!

But I thought we could surpass our limits!

So we did.

The kernelling comment really impressed to me that the problem was just that a hand-drawn style—no matter how gorgeously done it was in five-year-old-kid authentic CRAYONS this time!—doesn't really look good. It doesn't sell that my book is a nitty-gritty serious book for adults! Why it looks like it might be made for children—Perish the notion!

It's the same reason you can't buy hot-pink cars. Other adults might laugh at you!

We can't have that!

So we went to work on a cover that reflects our mature and serious tastes as consummate professionals:

How about that! Now with 95% less color!! This is a cover you can take to the office with you. It just screams I do tax work for fun! With this book in hand, the guys at the office will feel outright inferior to your vast intellect! Girls will be indubitably impressed by your refined tastes. And ladies, if guys see you reading this book, they'll be so intimidated at your agglomeration of literature that they'll leave you alone! And yes, this is 100% hand-done kernelling too! What a savings!!! ...

but...

Gee... I don't know... something just feels... missing.

It felt like we needed some passion! So we went ahead and borrowed from the Romance Genre of book covers to make a third design.

You're welcome.

HAWT!! Now that's how you do a book cover! It's just so original and steamy!

But, oh nose! Now we can't decide which is the best cover to use!

Now it's up to you to vote on which cover is your favorite! Leave a comment or reblog with your thoughts. If you haven't seen it (or just want a reminder), the original post can be found here or you can buy The Wingman at any of these outlets:

Barnes & Noble, ThriftBooks, Bookshop.org, BookFinder, or Amazon

Below the cut is my serious review of using Blaze to advertise The Wingman. Read it to see if Blaze is a good fit for you! This parody of Clinch Cover's Art was made in part using free Unslpash stock photo's by Justin Essah, Meg Jerrard, and Mathew Schwartz.

Okay, now that that's over—serious business time! As you may know, I bought the largest Blaze package at $150.00 USD for approximately 50,000 impressions. This was in effect from Thursday, April 21, 08:38 to Friday, April 22, 08:38.

Overall, I got 58,193 Impressions. This broke down into: 239 likes, 50 reblogs, 7 comments (a few of them were my own.) 1 Follow (which was probably due to me adding them first) and 11 shares off of Tumblr.

I had two people purchase The Wingman. One print, one e-book. Meaning I had a net loss of about $130.00USD. And the post I Blazed has had precious few notes on it since Blazing.

What does this mean to the book industry? Well, it means advertising sucks. For one thing.

We meticulously combed the meta qualities of my serious post to be widely appealing and upbeat (qualities that get lots of reblogs). I know many people think that means I was cheating, but keep in mind—despite gaming the meta content to be marketable, I lost money. This, unfortunately, tracks with similar experiments done on Facebook and Amazon. If you're trying to advertise your stuff as an indie artist/author—DON'T! Tumblr is selling about the same impressions that other sites are using at about half the cost... actually, less than that, if you take in the fact that people find Tumblr advertisements amusing. It is important to note: This was NOT a high traffic day, so doing a similar experiment on a Friday/Saturday may yield slightly better results. Tags are a roulette. I did my best to tag appropriately, but there is most certainly a better method to utilize tagging. I did not follow up with a second Blaze on the same post to see if the extra advertising would reach different people. I suspect it will, but we deemed it too risky to Blaze the same serious advertisement twice. Ideally, an advertisement builds goodwill so people will like you; ours had mixed results on that front. A second Blaze would've stretched people's patience too much. Especially since there appears to be Blaze purists who want Blaze to only be used to meme on people.

Overall, being a novelist is harder than ever. At least with image art, the artist's work gets to speak for itself. The Art of Writing has to evolve, and the Art of Storytelling is trending toward shorter one-off posts or things in which other users can participate.

TL;DR: It's better to use Blaze to advertise yourself than it is to go anywhere else. But Blazing alone will not help you market your books. Expect to lose money.

"Do you enjoy killing people?"

You're a great agent, loyal, hardworking. The Company gave you a new life, a new name, a roof above your head. They never inquired, never investigated; they didn't care as long as you did your job. And you did it perfectly well, for the record. But it's not like you're worried about them finding out — all your records have been long since sealed and burnt for good.

Or that's what you like to tell yourself.

It's not like your current life sucks though, not really. You fit in pretty well, and you didn't have half a mind to complain until the circumstances cut that feud short, throwing you into territory you weren't prepared to handle.

Now, you have other things to worry about, like getting out of this shit alive. Don't you worry though, as long as you have the right people on your side, you'll be able to figure it all out. Be careful, as the ghost of your past are trying to get to you now, no matter how dramatic it might sound, it doesn't become any less of a threat.

Play as an agent who works for an elite organisation of outcasts, members of which are infamous for their dubious morale.

Dystopian, cyberpunk-ish setting.

Customizable MC — gender, pronouns, appearance — all that good stuff.

Three characters to befriend, pursue romance with, or maybe even get on their bad side, if you must.

Try to overthrow the government, that's like the best part.

And most importantly, try not to die.

Suji [m/f/nb]

Your partner and one of the best assassins the nation has ever seen. If only you could get a moment to explain how they're one of the hardest people to crack. You could only get the password wrong so many times on a human.

Isa [m/f/nb]

Though operating on the same side, you two can't help but violently clash every single time you accidentally meet. You're convinced they fuck you over for the sake of it, treating you like their little plaything. But is that the only reason, really?

Demigod MC Series: Poseidon

Fishy fishy fishy… I honestly could write 100 more things for Poseidon MC and Levi. I just love the dynamic between an insecure, otaku shut-in and a chill California surfer dead set on becoming his friend.

Demigod MC Series: Intro, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Athena, Hades Pt. 2, Poseidon 

For anyone unaware, Poseidon is also the god of horses. I know it's a weird combo, but I didn't write the mythos.

Lucifer

…..

They came out of the portal….

On a horse….

They brought the mortal down to the Devildom…

On a goddamn horse….

There's a demigod on a live horse brandishing a weapon and doing laps around the Student Council Room…

Congratulations, he already wants to pull his hair out!!

Honestly, it would have been preferable to pluck them out of the sea. At least then they'd just need a towel! What the hell were they going to do with an entire horse!?

And his nightmare didn't stop there. Poseidon is a notoriously mercurial god, prone to bouts of anger and spitefulness for reasons far less grievous than kidnapping his children… 

Their apology was swift and (seemingly) effective, though the tide waters around the Devildom did rise by several feet for some time…

As for the MC… uh… Well, they're an energetic one to say the least…

Lucifer hasn't met a more active individual since Mammon. They horseback ride, swim, surf, skateboard, and probably do ten other things - the point is, they Hardly. Keep. Still! 

They're also annoyingly easygoing… He can't count the number of times they've told him to, "Just chill out," or, "Hang loose…" What does that even mean??

Between having to order a stable made for their horse and just trying to keep up with them, Lucifer already thinks this mortal has caused him more trouble than they're worth… At least they keep Mammon busy...

Mammon

Upon first meeting them atop their horse, Sunset, his first thought was of course:

"I wonder if I sell that...?"

After that, they nearly fed him to sharks for trying to take their beloved steed on same night. Safe to say, he never touched a hair on its head again…

These two had a rocky start, but their relationship mended fairly quickly. As it turns out, the MC is literally one of those "go with the flow" types. You can say it was water under the bridge soon enough.

Mammon actually thinks the MC is a hell of a lot of fun, even if they're super laid-back. Most of the time, they won’t take his drive for money (or fear of his bills) all that seriously and tell him that he’s worrying too much, but they’ll still lend a hand if its on their way.

He finds their ability to control water pretty cool as well. Levi has it to some extent, but the MC can make a whole-ass whirlpool or use water like a whip! 

He once begged them to call up some rare fish for him to sell, but they got all pseudo-philosophical on him about how “trading life for material wealth” is “not cool, dude...”

He also made the mistake of challenging them to a splash fight only once…. They managed to drench the whole family with a single wave….

The only thing that bothers him is their weird insistence on being Levi's "Best Buddy…" Why would someone like them even bother with a shut in??

Is it the water? … Probably water. Levi, that lucky bastard…

Leviathan 

Thinks they're a big normie, no scratch that, a HUGE normie! The biggest normie he's ever met!! They skateboard and horseback ride for Devil's sake!!

...But they’re also, undoubtedly, the best friend he could've ever asked for.

To be fair to Levi, their friendship was sort of forced upon him. The MC took one look at him, his aquatic-themed room, and his pet goldfish then declared their new friendship status at that moment. 

Unfortunately for him, though, they're energetic, extroverted, and generally have little understanding of personal space… aka, an introvert's worst nightmare…

The next month could accurately be described as the MC doing everything in their power to make their stubborn "senpai" like them.

They would drag him out to the aquarium, beach, or pool; they befriended Henry so he could put in a good word for them; and they'd even bring him little gifts or trinkets they'd find on the ocean floor. Pretty shells and stuff like a cat bringing its master a dead mouse.

After he finally began to accept them as a persistent fixture in his life, he introduced them to gaming and anime and started accepting them little by little...

By the end of their stay, these two were practically inseparable. Not just because they like spending time together, but because they figured out they could have a telepathic link due to Levi being part sea serpent. 

No matter how far they are, they can always have a chat! (That no one else can hear so people think they’re just crazy...)

Satan

Satan honestly isn't the MC's biggest fan, he generally finds them too loud and gregarious for his liking. But their horse…?

He never really thought that he'd be a horse man... Yet it didn’t really take long for Satan to adore Sunset, their beautiful golden-maned mare. Apparently she's not their only horse, but by far their favorite traveling companion.

Sunset is a wonderful horse - brave, strong, and well-trained. It only took a few weeks before he was regularly sneaking out to the stables to brush her fur or feed her apples...

After the MC taught him how to ride, that was it. All other forms of transportation were inferior to him now.

Satan would ride Sunset everywhere and he looked damn good doing it! It takes all that fairytale Prince Charming thing he has going on and puts it through the roof.

It's a good thing too, because when I say everywhere, I do mean everywhere. Lucifer had to put seals on the House doors to keep Satan from riding Sunset through the hallways...

Of course, he’ll always let the MC have Sunset back when they need her!... with a little complaining but nothing terrible.

The MC doesn't mind much because Sunset likes him and they know he takes good care of her, but the rest of the House is slightly unnerved at how quickly he went horse crazy… What if they brought a giant crab instead?? No one wants to deal with crab-Satan...

Asmodeus 

Their body is just scrumptious. Oh, how he could look at their swimsuit-clad figure all day!! 😩

Between the swimming and the fighting, their form is toned to all hell and he can't get enough of it! Yes baby, yes!! Take those clothes off again!!! He'll help~! 😘

When he's not staring at them “totally respectfully,” then he's inviting them out to pool parties or begging them to take him riding...

There are parts of horseback riding he doesn’t like, the smell and the jostling specifically, but there is a kind of… romance to it, no?

He loves having the chance to snuggle up to the MC as they trot around the Devildom! It's so romantic, like they’re his knight in shining armor! (Or his demigod in a damp swimsuit, either works. 😏)

His Devilgram is just full of selfies of him and MC riding on the back of Sunset or sitting by the edge of the pool or them in the middle of a swim meet…

Yeah his Devilgram is now a one part him and one part MC-Appreciation account.

After the pact he'll eventually cool down some and stop staring at them like a sex-object, but even then he'll be at every swim meet. Don't you worry~

Beelzebub 

He actually really likes them! It's great to finally have another athlete in the House. 😊

The MC joined the RAD swim team just as soon the coach was able to convince Diavolo that having the child of a water god wasn't completely cheating... 

Since swim and fangol practice ends at about the same time, they walk home together a lot and complain about... sports things... (Forgive me, I don’t know sports. Uhm... Rival teams? Coaches? That one drill everyone hates? Stuff like that.)

Beel also can surf, skate, and snowboard so the two have a healthy competition going. They're about on equal footing so they tie often (except in surfing but Beel doesn't think that should count cause they’re probably cheating).

The only thing that he has to watch out for is Sunset… As in, he has to watch himself around Sunset because he absolutely could eat her on accident… 

Look, he doesn't want to and he doesn't even like horse meat that much, but even he has to admit there are times he gets hungry enough to consider it…

Of course, he knows that if he ever did Satan would rip him limb from limb then the MC would drown the rest so he really, really tries to control himself… but still… She’s a very healthy horse...

At least he didn’t try to sell her like Mammon. The MC hung him over a shark tank for that stunt… He’d feel bad, but Mammon kind of had it coming.

Belphegor 

The first time they met, the MC smelled like beach water and called him "dude-bro…" He didn't like his prospects.

For a while, he genuinely thought that they had a lump of sand where their brain was. They were just too chill!! Here he was saying that he's being held captive and they were like, "Well that sucks, man… I'll help ya, but I've got practice tomorrow. You can wait, right?"

It's not like he expected them to jump on top of it, but some urgency would have been nice…

When they eventually got around to helping him, he was actually looking forward to choking the life out of them for the extra wait. Unfortunately, they apparently had a horse…

Yeah, Belphie found out just a bit too late that the MC could summon their steed to them whenever they wanted and ended up with Sunset's hooves firmly bucking into his back for his trouble…

What followed was Belphegor running circles around the attic from the weapon-totting MC riding their terrifying murder horse until Lucifer finally intervened....

Thank the gods he wasn’t near any water….

As it would turn out later, as long as he's not being held captive in an attic Belphie kind of vibes with their laid-backness… They say they approach life "one wave at a time" or something.

He could care less about what that actually means, but what it translates to is "Stop stressing out and just keep chill" which he's all about.

Hey there! Love your writing. What about MC spending a whole day with just one of the brothers? Like you know, if the brothers were deciding what to do? Sorry if it’s too boring and romantic haha, I’m a lost case, I desperately need that night walks with Satan and working out with Beel in my life haha. Thanks xx

Same though. I love writing just typical HCs with the bros during date night or something. And I’m currently writing a few angst HCs so I really needed this too lmao. I hope you don’t mind these not being too long. I hope this satisfies you lol.

Enjoy!

——————————

The Brothers Spending a Whole Day with MC:

Lucifer:

-Mr. Prideful doesn’t take many days off

-But when he’s with you, he really feels like he can unwind properly

-Lucifer loves going on walks with you tbh

-He feels like it’s a nice break from all of his office work and meetings

-Sometimes the two of you end up in Majolish or a restaurant

-He definitely has a thing for spoiling you on days like these, because he feels he doesn’t appreciate you enough otherwise

-Like when he yells at both you and Mammon for doing stupid shit around Lord Diavolo

-The two of you could walk through the whole of DevilDom hand in hand if you had more hours in the day

-I see Lucifer as a bit traditional when it comes to dating so it’s obvious you’ll have movie dates and everything

-But a day off for him? With you? Away from his brothers, all of their chaos and the never ending attention his paperwork needs?

-It feels like he’s in the Celestial Realm all over again

-He does love you

-His past just doesn’t let him express his affection towards you very well

Mammon:

-If the two of you could spend the whole day together, there are only three places you could be at: Majolish, the casino or trying to make money for Mammon’s debts somewhere

-But it doesn’t really matter for him

-He could be stuck in a broom closet with you and still be happy (though he wouldn’t admit it)

-Spending a day with just him is bound to end in tears to be honest, on his part usually

-Because everything is going well and you’re having fun

-“Ah shit!”

-“Mammon you OK? What happened?”

-“I accidentally sold Lucifer’s gloves for 50000 Grimm!”

-How does one accidentally sell something?

-So he get a bit of an earful for that

-Other than that, being with the second eldest is crazy enough as it is

-You may have lost all that money at the casino but for the first time in a while, Mammon didn’t care that much

-Because you were there and laughing with him about how stupid both of you were

-You guys hit as many shops as possible and just generally have a messy, fun time together

-He often ends these days saying something like “You should be grateful that THE GREAT MAMMON agreed to let you tag along with him today.”

-But just kiss him on the cheek and he will shut up. For like hours. He’ll be too flushed to even look you in the eye

-He really wants to spend another day out with his human

Levi:

-Welp, life of a shut-in otaku

-It should be of no surprise that the two of you spend most of your time in his room

-It’s just the one place he’s most comfortable in and having you there makes it so much better

-Anime’s and video games are a must obviously

-But he loves doing movie marathons with you too (while loudly complaining the movie sucks and that you’re a normie for choosing it. Which means he likes it)

-Maybe a few good hours of him ranting about TSL because it’s Levi

-So the chances of you guys getting any sleep on said day are slim to none

-Also, if you agree to go to conventions with him, he will die of happiness

-On the rare occasion that he does go outside, he’s only out there because you went with him so that should tell you how much he loves you

-But most of the time you’re locked in his room to the point where Luci dearest has to come along and drag you the fuck to breakfast

-Ah, true love~~

Satan:

-I mean, this one should be pretty obvious too

-If he doesn’t enjoy dates in the library, then is he really Satan? (I never thought a sentence like that would ever be typed)

-Most of the time it ends with him reading to you because his voice is sO bEAutIful and you just melt when you hear it

-I will forever hc that he makes sound effects while reading too so imagine that

-You two don’t always get the chance to spend a whole day together

-But he tries to check in on you at least once a day

-*Cue romantic run through the house of Lamentation, trying to find you so he can gossip and bitch about Lucifer*

-Walks with him are very common too

-They usually take place at night, because he’s a sap and he read too many romance books and damn it kiss him already

-He would hold an umbreally over you if it started raining and everything

-Satan takes these moments to chat to you about anything, he just wants to appreciate you being there

-You guys made out several times while on these ‘walks’ ngl skskevshskbeuensb

-One time, you showed him a cat cáfe in the human realm and he went nuts

-Safe to say you’ve been there more times than I care to count, most of which were without permission

-A day with him can either go extremely calmly and end with you guys falling asleep on each other in his room or escalate to either pranking Lucifer or...steamier stuff

-Haha if anyone ever mentions he’s a cheesy bastard, they’re dead before they can say their prayers

-Except you, you get the pass on this one, tease him as much as you want

Asmo:

-Finally, he gets to have you all to himself without any of his brothers cockblocking him all the time~ (same tbh)

-The whole day would be planned from head to toe in activities and events

-It would start with some sort of makeover in the morning (getting your nails done, doing hairstyles, skin routine etc.)

-Then it would move on to some serious shopping sprees where he basically buys everything that he deems to be cute

-They’re for you 100% tho

-The day usually ends with you getting dragged to parties and clubs because Asmo can’t go a day without speaking to other people

-By the time you get home, you’re almost knocked out cold and carrying several bags full of clothes and shit

-But you can never say you didn’t enjoy yourself on these days

-Having Asmo around is exhilarating and somehow, even if crowds happen to not be your thing, it’s still really easy to have fun anyway

-There are times when the two of you stay at home and do each other’s nails and everything

-And you two are very fond of these sort of dates as well

-Of course, all of this assuming he won’t try to seduce you and get in your pants all day

-Turns our Mammon is somehow telepathically connected to you and rushes over any time this happens

-So much for not being cockblocked I guess

-He always switches things up as well which is usually very pleasant because you don’t visit the same shops or clubs every day

-Just be back by midnight or you’ll have your asses handed back to you otherwise

Beel:

-Beel loves you

-Beel loves food

-If those two happen to be in the same room, he might as well die peacefully

-It’s all he ever asked for (especially if Belphie is there too)

-Half of the day is spent at either Hell’s Kitchen or in your kitchen at home

-For him, the food always tastes better when you’re there so if you’re willing to go, then he’ll be like a cheerful puppy the whole time (how many times have I compared Beel to a puppy lmao)

-The other half of the day is spent training

-Work out sessions are important to him and he’s more than happy to let you join in

-If anything, you’ll be on his back as he does his push ups even though you’re not that heavy to him

-It sort of warms that demon heart of his because you’re always there handing him towels and water after he’s finished

-And you always have snacks prepared too which is wonderful really

-Kudos for being able to hide them from him the whole time

-It’s also not that surprising to know that you, Beel and Belphie hang out a lot

-So these days often mean that Belphegor tags along with you guys everywhere

-You won’t notice him tho, believe me, he’ll just stay attached to Beel’s back and sleep the whole time

-If he gets to spend a day with his loved ones, then Beel can honestly not ask for more

Belphie:

-“Belphie...?”

-“Yes MC?”

-“Is.....is that a pillow fort that’s almost as big as the attic?”

-“It is indeed.”

-“Why?”

-“Why not?”

-Tbh it would be a miracle if you two didn’t sleep the whole day

-But if he had to go somewhere with you

-It would be anywhere

-Much like Mammon, he couldn’t give less of a shit about the evironment as long as you’re there

-Chances are, however, that he will sneak you two to the human world a few times in secret

-He still insists he hates humans but truth is, he misses them and their realm

-Going back there, without permission the same way he did all those centuries ago, was like a breath of fresh air

-You guys would be chilling at a park in the human realm, probably make small picnic or something

-Belphie, as much as he doesn’t want to admit it, loves these dates and would kill anything on his path if it meant he gets to be in your arms while taking a nap in the human world

-He invites Beel along too which makes everything so much better for him

-He will just fall asleep on you while you run your fingers through his hair

-Belphie is so warm too so it’s likely you won’t stay awake for long either

-Poor Beel has to carry both back to DevilDom but he does it anyway without complaining >:(

-He knows that he isn’t allowed to come up here and that he should stop these dates before Lucifer finds out

-But being out here with you brings him an irreplaceable meaning and you’re so soft and gentle, he can’t resist cuddling into you

-Also he doesn’t give a shit what Lucifer thinks

(Idk why my writing is so bad in this post, it kinda feels like I forced myself to write it and maybe that’s why..? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my mess of HCs)

[yan-twst]

Can you do a headcanon with non-yandere first year boys and Grim doing binge-watching, like everyone spending the night at Ramshackle? I like their dynamics with MC... Thank u very much and sorry for the english!

ace trappola

ace is making a bit of a ruckus- he’s arguing over the snacks, to turn up or lower the volume, or loudly commenting on whatever is happening in the series

everyone is probably shushing him or annoyed at him, but he’s entertaining. his commentary, as obnoxious as it may seem, makes the whole experience a bit more interesting (except to sebek. sebek is not amused, at all, and he lets everyone know)

he’s a little shit, per usual- he’s gonna be pestering everyone, but mostly his dearest ramshackle prefect

ace is gonna be bragging about how he’s gonna be the last one awake- he plans to watch the whooole series! and yet, when it begins to get late, it’s quite clear he’s the first one to get a bit sleepy, although he denies it vehemently

watching him butt heads with deuce and grim is almost as entertaining as the series they’re all watching- they’re called the “idiot trio” for a good reason, but adding in the rest of the very fiery first years just adds to the ridiculousness of the arguments 

deuce spade

deuce is trying to make this a good sleepover- he’s beyond excited. this is the kind of good-natured, fun outing he should’ve been having during his childhood (instead of having been out there doing... delinquent things)

he absolutely called his mom the day before, just because he’s super pumped about it- but he tries to not look too eager, y’know?

deuce is scandalized whenever the series has any romance scenes, god forbid more “spicy” scenes. he might cover his eyes and the prefect’s- hell, at some point he does so to epel who gets angry because he isn’t “some little boy to be protected”

deuce is constantly yelling at ace to shut up during the series, which prompts sebek to try and make them shut up, which ends up with jack telling everyone else to shut up

still, deuce is very clearly super excited about this. he’s almost like a puppy- although he continues butting heads with ace and grim, making everyone a bit frustrated but entertained

jack howl

jack is adamant that this sucks. everyone is loud, he “only really gets along with the prefect and epel” (even though he’s very clearly warming up to sebek, and he’s still messing around with the adeuce + grim braincell)

he tries his best to keep order along with sebek, but even though he acts like it’s a mess, he... really likes being there

he mostly sticks to epel and the prefect’s side and actually tries to pay attention to the tv series everyone is supposed to be watching

jack’s tail is wagging very strongly even when he’s telling off everyone, or complaining about the noise

in general, he’s more of a calm one- however, don’t be fooled. the sheer energy of teenage boy idiotic impulses plus grim is enough to even make jack do silly things, even with the prefect there to try and prevent it

epel felmier

epel is, in all honesty, just absolutely happy to take up any excuse to not spend the night at pomefiore. seriously, he will take any excuse to stay away from the stifling rules. freedom! he doesn’t have to do his night skincare routine without vil throwing a fit!

besides, he finds the rowdy sleepover to be quite fun. epel isn’t paying too much attention to the series going on in the screen; he’s much more busy trying to pay attention to the chaos caused by grim firing up the first years

epel loves this kind of thing. it’s rowdy, a bit messy, and he’s surrounded by people he considers friends (or at least close acquaintances)

he’s absolutely all over the snacks and popcorn. this kind of stuff just can’t be found in his own dorm, so he’s gonna go ham when he can

he’s gonna be begging the prefect to please hold more of these sleepovers; pleasepleaseplease he is having so much fun, please!

sebek zigvolt

sebek is out of his element. like, entirely- he has never done this before. a sleepover? full of people his age (plus a talking magic cat monster)? 

the sheer mess and rowdiness that is caused by reuniting a bunch of 16 year olds by themselves with the most solid supervision being a fellow student, in a dorm where there the “leader” is said “solid supervision” is something sebek was not prepared for

he’s a bit stressed at first- weren’t they supposed to be watching a series?! why is- why is everyone screaming and chatting and??

also, he’s stressing over malleus. in the midst of a sleepover and a movie night, sebek is thinking about malleus until the prefect distracts him

it’s a bit fun to see him slowly unfold and settle in with the group; everyone is so used to sebek being so high-strung, it’s nice for him to incorporate and act more like a 16 year old than a knight for once

i never rlly talk about pb on here but the sheer AUDACITY and entitlement of Ethan stans (u know who u are) !!!

U ppl are rlly out here COMPLAINING about the UTTER ANGST of Ethan’s route and “UGH the diamond scene was for WORK AND NOT ROMANTIC!!” and “I DIDN’T EVEN GET TO KISS HIM !!! OR HOLD HIS HAND !!!” meanwhile, me a raf stan isn’t even SURE my man is still a LI cause he has a literal S/O, isn’t on the cover and barely appears for 2 seconds. And Jackie and Bryce stans barely have it better and probably won’t at this rate. I keep getting shoved Ethan scenes left and right even tho our relationship is supposed to be purely professional and it’s getting more difficult to enjoy it. I get that I see him a lot cause we are both on the diagnostics team but still. Bryce is my friend and coworker, Jackie is my friend, coworker AND roommate and Raf was SUPPOSED TO BE MY MAN but I digress. There are tons of opportunities to see them too. We have all invested our time and even money into the game after all... don’t we deserve results too???

At least Ethan stans are getting fed regularly, having deep conversations with their LI, developing their relationship and know that at the end of the day, they can end up with their man. the angst makes for great storytelling. Meanwhile the rest of us are left scavenging for CRUMBS (or even less) and it sucks to see our narratives and storylines being thrown aside to shove someone else down our throats. Ethan stans have ZERO rights to complain. How the hell can u have all of the time, scenes, depth and subplots of the story and STILL have the audacity to complain that it’s not enough when the rest of us have practically nothing????

And here’s the thing; I actually really like Ethan and my MC’s relationship with him. I like their dynamic and I like that he trusts her judgement and decisions. It’s really impossible to hate Ethan cause he’s a really kind and giving person and very admirable in his work ethic and dedication and passion in helping people. the ppl that ruin Ethan are his toxic stans that call us “whiny bitches”, “insecure bullies” and “looking for conflict”. WE AREN’T we are just tired of seeing the LIs of colour (and wlw in terms of Jackie) being thrown away when we have invested our time and money into them. We have the right to complain when the balance is obviously off-scale and the treatment is unfair. you ppl getting butthurt that ppl don’t wanna see ur LI every 5 seconds especially when not necessary is ridiculous. Stop taking it as a personal attack. Acknowledging an imbalance in LI treatment is NOT hating on Ethan.

Some of y’all like to throw out “OH IS NOT A ROMANCE BOOK THO! Y’ALL ALWAYS SAY THAT AND YET WHEN U DON’T GET SCENES U GUYS ARE COMPLAINING!” first off, A) IT IS CLASSIFIED AS ROMANCE and B) This isn’t news that romance serves as a subplot and relationships are what help the story develop and grow. We should all get the chance to romance who we choose and develop our storylines with fair and equal treatment; and frankly this ain’t it.

#open heart #i do not take criticism btw whoever tries to fight me will be blocked and deleted #it’s not tht deep but y’all are honestly SO ANNOYING lmfaooo #playchoices

Sharing is Caring (Logan x MC x Colt)

Summary: Logan sees the way Ellie’s been looking at Colt Kaneko and who is he to deprive her from her deepest desires?

Author Note: Hi guys! It’s been a while, but here’s a bit of content for y’all. Enjoy this heavy smut story ;D

Book: Ride or Die: A Bad Boy Romance | Choices: Stories You Play (AU)

Pairing: Logan x MC (main), Colt Kaneko x MC | Ellie Wheeler

Word Count: ~2.4k

Rating: Mature (explicit sex- lots of it, cursing, threesome)

Every night ended the same way, after a long day of work, I would always manage to find myself tangled up in the sheets with Ellie Wheeler. Although, I promised I would only help her do homework, we always gave into the tension in the room. It’s never anything new, I knew her body like the back of my hand. I was sweet with her, always, I knew what she loved. She preferred to take things slow and the passion was surely there. 

Ellie and I made up a long while ago after she found out about why we met. Truthfully, I did fall in love with her since then. I’m thankful she forgave me, every night after that day was filled with us having sex in my bed. It was her way of making sure I truly loved her and it worked. As the nights ended, she cuddled against my bare chest and fell asleep. She was truly beautiful under the light that came in through my window. 

Tonight was different, however, Ellie hadn’t been paying much attention to me throughout the day. I would grip her hand under the table and she would turn and smile softly. She seemed to be looking somewhere else. My gaze followed where she was staring. My eyes fell upon Colt Kaneko, the boy who hated me more than anything. He was focused on fixing his bike, his leather jacket thrown on the ground beside him. The guy was drenched in sweat and covered in black oil. He looked disgusting. But Ellie couldn’t take her gaze away from him. 

For a moment, I felt a twinge of jealousy. I hated how she was looking at that guy. I looked back to my girlfriend and it was clear in her eyes.

She wanted him.

The rest of the day consisted of her losing track of time with her focus on him. She would barely even acknowledged me and I was getting annoyed. He’s done nothing but treat her like she’s nothing. Is that hot or something?

“I’m going to sleep early today, I don’t feel like doing anything tonight. Goodnight, babe,” She kissed me goodnight, knowing that I won’t go sleep until way later. 

I continued to work in the garage, fixing the AC in my car. However, curiosity didn’t fail to make it’s way into my mind. I looked over and watched as Colt scrolled on his phone, absentmindedly. What did that bastard have that I didn’t?

I sighed in defeat and got out of my car, heading to my room. Before I could open the door, I heard something I didn’t expect. I could recognize those moans anywhere. I pressed my ear against the cold wood of the door, hoping to hear more. She was whimpering as she did when I fucked her. I began to think that she could be in there with Colt, before remembering he was in the garage on his phone, like a dumbass. I didn’t have the balls to open the door, I was addicted to hearing her noises and wouldn’t risk them stopping. 

But the only question repeating in my head was, why didn’t she wait for me? Did I do something wrong? However, what I heard next answered my question.

“Colt,” She moaned before the noises stopped and all I heard was her panting.

She was touching herself while thinking about the person I hated. For any normal guy, this would make him angry, but I felt my chest beam with an unexpected feeling... Arousal. 

I waited a few more minutes outside the door before slowly opening it. She was curled up in the blankets, pretending to sleep. I sat beside her, running my hand down her ass. 

“I know you’re not sleeping, Ellie.”

She didn’t move, but her breath quickened.

“Come on, baby, quit the act.”

She sighed and sat up, her eyes meeting mine. I could sense that she was guilty about something. I placed my hand on hers.

“You’ve been sleeping with Colt, haven’t you?” I asked nonchalantly.

“What?!” Her mouth gaped open and her cheeks flushed, “No, of course not! Why would you even ask that? Logan you know I would nev--”

“Would you want to?”

She froze and went silent. 

“Be honest with me, Ellie. I see the way you look at him, would you want to have sex with him?”

“Babe, I--”

“Then I have my answer,” I chuckled, pleased with getting her to confess to it.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s just simple attraction. I love you, not him,” She brought her hand to my cheek, caressing it gently, “I’m such a slut. If you want to leave me--”

“Leave you? No, never. Not over something as small as this,” I pressed a kiss to her lips, “I have an offer, actually.”

She was dazed after the kiss, as she always was. She came back to Earth a few moments later, curious to hear my offer.

“You can fuck him,” I whispered in her ear and I felt myself get hard when she twitched in shock.

“W-What?!” She was flabbergasted as she pulled away from me.

“Under one condition,” I continued and she bit her lip nervously, “Only if I get a part in it too.”

“Like-- A threesome?!” She couldn’t believe what I was saying. I chuckled at her reaction, it was cute.

I wasn’t nearly as innocent as she took me to be, I was trouble a long time ago before I met her. You wouldn’t find me at my high school parties, mainly because I was somewhere having sex with a schoolgirl. I only became loyal once I met Ellie, I had no reason to look at anyone else. But it wasn’t fair that she hadn’t had the chance to try out sex with other people. I was planning on keeping her with me forever, but I felt guilty at the thought of her never experiencing new things. Colt Kaneko was the best person for this, she would see what being treated without respect would be like. I don’t doubt her love for me, ever. She seemed to lose her mind when we argued, as I did. We wouldn’t leave each other for anyone else, that much was clear. I’ll let her try out someone new, just this once.

“Yeah, why not?” 

She gulped nervously and I admired her bright pink cheeks.

“A-Are you sure?” 

I laughed again, capturing her lips with mine. After a few heated moments, I pulled away and brushed a strand of hair from her face.

“I’ll go ask him,” I said, standing up, but she put her hand on my arm to stop me, “What?”

“I love you,” She smiled softly before giving me a gentle kiss.

“I love you more,” I gave her hand a squeeze before leaving to go find Colt.

As expected, he was still sitting and scrolling on his phone, but he seemed to have showered. This guy really had nothing better to do with his life, wow. He looked up as he saw me coming and rolled his eyes.

“I thought you and your girlfriend turned in early already,” He said in his normally irritated voice. I sighed and sat beside him, he looked me over with disgust.

“How do you feel about Ellie?” I asked him and he furrowed his eyebrows.

“What?”

“Would you fuck her?” I reworded my sentence to make him understand. He laughed mockingly, I hate this guy.

“Of course I would, have you seen her? Damn,” He stared off into the distance with a smirk. I held back the temptation to punch him. 

Why couldn’t my girlfriend want to have sex with someone else?

“I want the best for her, you know? I want her to live out her life and experience crazy things,” I explained as I looked at him.

“Okay... And?”

“She lost her virginity to me and plans to be with me for the rest of her life. Which makes me think I’m taking away the chance of her to have fun with other people,” I sighed as Colt kept his poker face, “It seems she’s taken a liking to you, of all people, for some goddamn reason.”

“Not surprising, you seem boring.”

“Shut up and listen,” I snarled, “That’s not what it’s about. She loves me, I don’t doubt that. But she wants you too.”

“So what do you want me to do? You want me to go up to your room and fuck your girlfriend? Because if that’s it, I won’t complain.”

“You’re hilarious if you think I’ll let you have her all to yourself,” I scoffed.

“Oh my god,” Colt laughed again, “You’re asking ME to have a three-way with you two?” 

“Yeah, I guess,” I sighed, realizing how pathetic I seem.

“Alright, I’m in,” He shrugged, “But you and I will have zero contact. We focus on Ellie, only.”

“That’s the plan,” I nodded before continuing, “You can go see her first. I’ll join in a second.”

Without another word, Colt went to my room to meet my girlfriend.

I heard the door close and took a deep breath. This situation wasn’t ideal, but who was I to stop her from her going after what she desires?

Once again, I pressed my ear to the door and my heart skipped at what I heard. The sounds of lips clashing together was clear. I made my way in and watched as his mouth sucked on her neck, her eyes basically rolling into the back of her head. His jacket was on the ground and her shirt was tossed to the side. 

I could tell the obvious difference between him and I. He wasn’t taking his time with anything, Ellie wasn’t used to that. I made my way towards them, Colt didn’t acknowledge me but my girlfriend’s jaw dropped slightly as she saw me. I leaned forward and captured her lips with mine, she moaned into my mouth. Colt’s hand had trailed down her shorts, playing with her through her panties.

He pulled her bottom pieces off and brought his face down to meet with her core. I can only assume he began to swirl his tongue around her folds, because she whimpered loudly against my lips. Her hands made their way onto my shirt, pulling it over my head, then she proceeded to feel up my toned stomach. With one hand, I unclasped her bra, pulling it off with my other. 

She was still whining as Colt ate her out, I attached my lips to her breast and moved my tongue in circles. Her left hand tangled in my hair, while her right pulled on the other male’s. She began to tremble.

“C-Colt, I’m gonna--” She began to say before yelping when I gently scraped my teeth against her nipple, “Logan!” 

Her body went limp as her orgasm washed over her. Colt got up and kissed her lips, making her taste herself. She sighed into his mouth and I slowly dragged my hand across her thigh. She looked over at me and winked while her lips moved against his. 

Not long after, we had her on her all fours, Colt was positioned behind her as I kneeled above her. Without hesitation, he moved inside of her and she screamed out. She seemed to forget that I was there and I was alright with that, watching as she lost all thought because of someone fucking her. He held her hips tightly and pulled her onto him harshly, the sound of skin on skin filling up the room. She was a mess, moaning like crazy. I would have to try that position with her someday. She lifted her head, her eyes lined up directly with my dick. 

I grabbed her hair and pulled her lips onto me. She sucked on it, moaning and sending vibrations. I hissed at the hot feeling of her mouth.

This was new, I had never fucked Ellie as aggressively as Colt was doing. But she seemed to love it, maybe I didn’t know her as well as I thought I did. All of this was a learning experience, I would know how to pleasure her in different ways now. She continued to suck and lick me as Colt thrusted into her repeatedly. I felt her slow down, growing weak as she reached her second orgasm. She took me out of her mouth and turned to face him.

“I-Inside,” She said as her voice trembled.

“You want me to come inside of you, babygirl?” He put his hand on her chin and gently sank his teeth onto her earlobe. 

“Please, please,” She begged with tears in her eyes. I moved my hand up and down as I watched them.

“That’s what I like to hear,” He smirked as he moved away from her and finished up. She screamed in pleasure as they came together. When her orgasm faded, she looked me in the eyes like a begging puppy. She got off of all fours, sitting on her heels. She crawled over to me before moving her lips to my ear.

“I want you too.”

The Ellie I knew would’ve never talked dirty, we were as vanilla as it gets. We would only ever moan words of adoration, but I was liking this version of her too.

I helped her onto my lap as she sank herself down onto me, taking all of me in. She sighed heavily and kissed me with a desire that I didn’t recognize.

She rode me as I held her by her waist. Colt had made his way over and sucked on her neck, his lips trailing down to her shoulder and back. 

That night was definitely not the last time we had sex together. But, Ellie and I had never been better. She went back to paying me attention throughout the days, we were at the top of the world. Just me and Ellie. We were unstoppable.

Colt still hated my guts, nothing changed. We shared the same girl in bed, but she was all mine. He had no interest in having her all for himself and he only spoke to her on those sinful nights. 

“I love you, Logan, forever,” She placed her head on my shoulder as we watched cars on the freeway speed by. Our hands rested on her lap and I kissed the top of her head.

“I love you more, Ellie, until my last breath.”

The "waifu bait" criticism of Edelgard is so dumb given that most of the cast is technically waifu/husbando bait in one way or another, they're all meant to appeal to players as romance options, and she's the only one getting flack for it. (Well, not the only one, there were some people giving Dimitri shit too for being "wish fullfillment for stupid teenage girls who think they can fix a man," but I see the complaint most often with Edelgard.)

Yeah. I mean, you can boink Rhea and Jeritza!

It’s not like satelite love interests aren’t a plague onto anime and fiction in general, but I only ever hear this “you only like them because they’re waifu/bishie” thing directed at characters who very much DO have personality, unique compelling features and plot relevance. 

I’ve also seen this thrown at, say, Evangelion’s Miss Ayanami, as if all the fascinating sci-fi concept stuff and compelling narrative about finding your own worth and making a connection in a cruel lonely world wasn’t there - and at least we do see her through a “main character’s love interest” sorta lens. (I was thinking about how Byleth is actually quite similar, except more proactive with more of a dorky side, and less philosophical/reflective, but because Byleth is the MC we come off with a fairly different impression. )

Meanwhile with Edelgard they really didn’t pull any punches, the whole story is set in motion and dominated by her active choices, most the unique designs/outfits she gets are geared to look elegant/powerful.  (Apart from the usual ‘individually wrapped boob armor would break your sternum’ thing but you’d really have to know physics for that/ could be fixed easily by making the fit more sweater-like), she has a specific discernable philosophy and makes impactful choices, that can genuinely be agreed or disagreed with.

You can’t swag her into your way of thinking - you can only ally with her under the presupposition that you already actively agree. (See all the people complaining that you cant “criticise her more”, expecting her to be like Dimitri basically even though they are exact opposites. You can only get on her route by making two deliberate choices. I mean they wrote this with your first playthrough in mind, in-universe you’re not there because you wanna complete all aroutes but because you actively chose to join her after she spent a year unsubtly trying to recruit you to her cause)

You don’t talk Claude out of his tactics either. (and forcing it all into this comparision often leads ppl to overlook that he has ambiguities or character development at all, maybe he isn’t vilified but he gets simplified and therefore wronged just as much in the end. They’re not all Dimitri. The whole point of having three or four different potential deuteragonists to choose from is that they’re different)… heck, even if you look at Dimitri, you only get him back to what he really wanted to do back in part I before his black-and-white thinking and exaggerated sense of duty got the better of him. 

With all three, joining them eventually just enables them to get closer to their actual vision. Back when you meet her in Remire, Edelgard outright tells you that “with your power on my side, we could courttail the slitherer’s atrocities much more efficiently”. You don’t change her mind at all; You enable her to use “Plan A”. Same with Claude, who otherwise plains much more defensively both because he has less support and because he’s more jaded. And Dimitri essentially pulls a Sayaka, ie being unable to live up to his own unrealistic standards drive him to lose all hope and become the very opposite of the hero he wanted to be, but you do help him get back to that, or to a more balanced mature understanding of that. 

The best proof of that is that the popularity poll numbers actually went down after the release, ie a lot of ppl who liked her just bc they liked her design were turned off that there’s a specific personality there that isn’t necessarily their type/ a MO they don’t necessarily agree with. Or all those peeps complaining that the S-support was too understated for them. Claude got that too - They’re just not the most open/expressive people in the world, one would think that after playing through their routes you would know and understand that. Whereas Dimitri has been super emotional from day one (which is both his greatest strength and greatest weakness), so it figures that he’d be more conventionally romantic. 

- Hardly things that would happen if she were written to be “blandly pleasant”.  I mean generally speaking she’s not the best as showing her feelings and when she does she’s often pretty blunt at it even with her closest friends (El: ”Hubert! I order you to tell me what it is you’re not telling me!” Hubert: [elegantly weasels out of answering] El: [after he’s left the room] I’m worried about him tho. )

Seems senseless to claim that she’s blandly pleasant when she’s absolutely gotten a love-it-or-hate-it-marmite-reaction all across the board. It also seems to go along with the implicit idea that everyone who likes her is heterosexual boys. I’m neither, and it’s not like heterosexual boys aren’t ever interested in “plot” or “writing” I mean geez. Though I would resist the temptation to fully ascribe it to things like that. 

To an extent it’s simply confusion. “How can they like this thing that obviously sucks? Must be an ulterior motive”, whereas in reality ppl who like her have probably parsed what happened here differently to begin with (It depends greatly on how powerful you concluded Rhea was, ie, wether what Edelgard is doing is a conquest or a revolt. She certainly sees it as a revolt. Even today in the modern day most of us see revolts as legitimate, or at least, if they get overly destructive, as a fault of the bad government. Heck, there are many on this very site who would label all revolts legit by default (”eat the rich”, the more ‘original sin-like’ variants of privilege theory) which is further than I would go )

There certainly are a bunch of ‘cute’ scenes post holy-tomb scene and under the assumption that Edelgard is this my-way-or-the-highway type of person that many have her pegged as I can see how they might think that it “makes no sense” but that’s really down to wanting her not tp step outside of that idea they have of her. I mean even supervillains have silly everyday situations. Bin Laden loved Disney Movies, Hitler loved his dogs. By itself that has nothing to do with morality or likeability. It’s just being human. Supervillains blush, not because they’re not villains, but because they have blood vessels in their faces. It’s only logical that once you get close to someone and get them to trust you, you get to see more of their silly or vulnerable sides. It’s the same with Rhea. (except that the same people argue that having personable vulnerable sides at all makes Rhea good s of course it causes some cognitive dissonance when Edelgard also has them. I’ve yet to see ppl calling “waifuism” on Rhea (whom I would consider a full-fledged villain), and they shouldn’t - it’s characterization.) Same with ppl calling Edelgard a “manchild” for liking stuffed animals and sweets. She’s actually very mature and adult for her age, having some interests that aren’t super high-minded is just realistic and if you looked at her as a full 3D person who can have more than one trait you’d see that. 

This also goes with that tendency of holding up AM as the gold standard complaining about the lack of AM-like plot that they completely miss the different but equally compelling character arcs in VW and CF. That’s not a lack of arc, that IS the arc, it’s just a different arc: We get to see this tough, in-control high-minded character who’d completely given up on the normal life she wanted so much and resigned herself to never being understood finding out that she is very much still capable of normalcy and humanity and finding friendship and love and I think that’s beautiful. It’s my jam. 

And it’s meaningful precisely because it’s a change from only seeing the tough leader guise otherwise. Complaining about that is like complaining about getting to see Claude’s more wistful, dreamy, benevolent, not-entirely self-interest side in VW or claiming that the writing would be better if he were just a straight-up selfish trickster. Actually, if you removed their heroic traits you’d end up with a lot more generic characters. You’d simply get every wild card trickster ever, and every “Nietzschean” villain ever.  It’s the fact that they’re unconventional heroes that makes Claude and Edelgard so unique, compelling and interesting. If you like conventional heroes, Dimitri is right here. Your basic heroic fantasy ‘rightful king returns/ soft peace loving hero’, plus your basic jrpg guilt-ridden angsty protagonist. I mean there’s good reason that these character archetypes are popular. Plus he’s especially well-executed and recontextualized by the contrast to the others, but there he is, enjoy him! We’re not stopping you. 

It’s really Seteth who came up short arc wise. You could have given him an arc, the potential was there, he essentially transistions from protecting himself and his family to taking on his family’s heroic quest and rising up to that, but he doesn’t get like, a scene reflecting on that. Or you could’ve sent them on some mission to actually curb some corrupt cardinals etc, shown them actually reforming the church and realizing that it wasn’t all perfect, after all he very much knows that Rhea herself wasn’t all perfect. 

For all that much of media is obsessed with making characters “hot”, the truth is that if people like them for any reason, they will find them hot anyways, regardless of whether that was the intention. (unless the people in question are aroace, or the character is a literal, realistic prepubescent child)

You don’t have to “make”  a character hot for ppl to find them so.

Summary: Liam x (mc)Sexy knew they were destined for a lifetime together, but his world had other plans. The couple shares a fateful night that would forever alter their future. Does fate stand strong together or banish his love to the shadows?

*******************************

Two weeks later Liam had made arrangements with Several members of the press for an interview. It was to take place the following day at Valtoria. He preferred Sexy’s duchy since there was more control over access of the grounds and she would feel more comfortable there. Liam had afforded a restful day for Sexy with no public appearances that could possibly stress her out wondering if someone in crowds was watching, plotting against her again. Liam was exhaust but found a second wind as he made his way down the palace halls toward....home.He quietly entered the royal chambers anticipating Sexy sleeping. He whispered . “love, I’m home.”He leaned down and softly kissed her cheek as she slept. The chances of finding her sleeping grew week after week with each growing inch of her belly. The pregnancy became exhausting on her but he never heard her complain....not once. Sexy relished in her role as a mom to be and her duty to Liam to give him an heir. Neither of them saw the impending birth as a duty, this was their family that they were very much looking forward to welcoming the little button.

Sexy rolled from her side to her back extending her arms over her head as she stretched the sleep from her body. She focused her gaze on his brilliant blue eyes and smiled,” welcome home my king. I am sorry that I didn't greet you properly at the door… with a drink waiting, and little much else”, she giggled at the insinuation. Sexy slid up toward the headboard and the massive collection of plush pillows. She ran her fingers across her face, absently wiping any traces of sleep from her eyes and mouth. Liam smirked noticing what she was doing.

He crept up beside her on the bed kissing her neck, “I guarantee you are perfect my queen,” he studied her hazel eyes that were now hiding a glimpse of embarrassment.

Sexy craned her neck to the side allowing access to her king. “I haven’t a clue what you mean Liam.” She toyed with a curly tendril of hair, nibbled the inside of her cheek while shooting him a come hither look. “Wow Liam...you are really trying to get into my pants, she joked “Seriously, I missed you today but I’ve had a lot of time to think. I feel like I have been neglecting my husband. Once upon a time we spent hours just talking and laughing. Then our little button hit me like a tidal wave where I spent more time on my knees blessing the toilet instead of my king”, she grinned playfully. “I remember when we couldn't get enough of each other. We made love anytime in any place. I miss the spontaneity… I miss the feel of you in that way. My king is a phenomenal man and lover. I appreciated how thorough you were with me. You have a way of exploring every… nook...and cranny of my body. You have spent far too much time worrying about me. I should be greeting you at the door with a drink...and not much else if you know what I mean.”, she leaned back on her elbows looking up into his eyes… inviting whatever he was opened to do.

Sexy turned her scantily clad body into Liam speaking softly, but thoughtfully. She had considered her words carefully aware of the meaning behind them all day. The conversation from weeks ago played over in her mind. She needed to see herself as Liam did and had from the beginning. Sexy took in a deep breath before her voice and eyes conveyed the need she so desperately had for Liam to understand where her head was at.

“Liam, I am done having a pity party for myself. I am your queen and it is damn sure time I behaved like it. I watch you climb out of bed and put on your suits preparing to fight for Cordonia...for us. I see that my husband is a measured, fierce defender for our people and a force to be reckoned with. When you face the world it should and will be with your queen by your side. Every bit of me ..will be there”, she slowly ran her fingertips over her growing belly.

Liam's piercing blue eyes stared in admiration as he watched her come into her own.

“It is time for me to take my place beside you in ruling this kingdom. I will not hide from enemies or the public. You were right when you told me that us making a little button is nothing to be ashamed of Liam. I am feeling a lot better since I’m in my second trimester now. I no longer feel sick all the time nor tired constantly. I need to be the queen you deserve, the wife you deserve, the mother of your child that you deserve. I want to slip on sensible yet stylish suits or dresses and sit in on meetings with you, attend galas and balls as your queen, not your secret. I want to help structure deals that could bring in millions in revenue for Cordonia, be strong as I carry our baby, but then be ready to get back to business.”

Liam's large hands stroked and palmed her belly adoringly. He smiled as his eyed fleeted between her belly and the golden complexion on her face. He was speechless one of a handful of times. To witness her come to terms with the power and balance that she will have between being queen and a mother. “God, you are amazing love. Just when I thought I couldn't feel closer more bonded to you...you manage to surpass my expectations for you.” Liam wrapped her in his arms holding tightly as he captured her lips in a deep passionate kiss.

“Tomorrow my king, I will speak with Ana and let her know the woman that is your queen. She will get to know Mrs. Rhys and Queen Sexy are one and the same. She will get her official introduction to our little button that is a blessing to us and will be welcomed by Cordonia.” Sexy’s hands started to travel around Liam’s neck playing with the fine hairs at the nape. She raked her nails lightly down his back as she pushed his suit jacket off. Liam moved his shoulders to help her remove his coat. He bit his lower lip as his blue eyes darkened and became lust blown. Liam's breath hitched in his throat as Sexys nail ignited a path under his shirt awakening his abs.

“What was that you told me…a king only kneel to his queen. ? You live to serve me as you queen”, she let out a laugh laced with hidden desire. “Well, tonight I have a second burst of energy with the pregnancy… being in my second trimester seemed to have taken the … sickness and replaced it with...energy… I have quite a bit of making up to do to my king”, she smirked. “I say...your queen desires you to serve her… to serve every inch of her body.”

Liam’s eyes lit up yet his stoic gaze shook her to the core. Sexy still was amazed at how he can be so confident yet hide any hint of emotions when needed. He slowly rose up from the bed, walked around to the side of the bed closest to his queen and he dipped to one knee. “Whatever my queen desires… your wish is my command” Liam’s hands went to work slowly undressing her, removing the white tank top, he untied the slumber pants that were perfectly wrapped around her waist. He massaged her growing belly. Liam became entranced with her midsection. Something about the reality of his child growing inside her womb made him elated. His fingers gently moved the pants down over her hips, down her silky thighs, followed by her calves. He peppered her skin with soft kisses as he discarded items from her body.

“Does this please my queen?”, he paused at her ankles rubbing soothing circles against her flesh.

“Your Queen is pleased… continue”, she whispered in a breathy moan.

Liam was captured off guard watching her lie back in nothing but a tiny pair of purple lace underwear. His grin as he eyed her voluptuous form, “may I taste my queen?”, his tone low and sensual. Liam hovered over her body close near ear whispering the things he would like to do.

“You may my king… slowly”, she commanded.

Liam reaches up and freed her golden locks by pulling the velvet hair tie. Sexy’s hair cascaded down her shoulders in waves. Liam tangled his fingers in her hair… massaging her scalp with his fingertips. His elongated tips danced down her neck meeting her jawline. His thumb traced her soft neck and her lips. Liam's mouth made way to the sensitive skin behind her ear. He began sucking and nipping leaving a warm pathway.

He locked on her somewhat swollen nipples desperate to feel relief. Liam knew how tender she had been during the early weeks of pregnancy. Now… he wanted to worship her entire body. His tongue flicked and suckled wrapping around her breast. “You are so beautiful “, a momentary sensation pooled in her core from the utterance of those four words.

Liam continued to toy with her breast as he kissed his way down her chest stopping at her belly. He didn't seem to cease being amazed looking at her growing baby bump. “ I will never get tired of seeing the sight of this”, his eyes drifted to her belly lovingly before laying a soft kiss upon her stomach.

Liam’s groans grew louder as he neared her sex, hungrily moving at a steady pace down her voluptuous body. He let out a warm breath as he hovered over her center slowly guiding her thighs opened wider. Sexy arched her back suddenly at the sensation of his breath. Liam released a low chuckle knowing that she was on fire for him.

Liam gazed up at her pausing before continuing his pleasured hunt over her body, “yes?”

Sexy slowly nodded while seductively biting her bottom lip.

He thought back to the list from the doctor...oral sex was on hold until after the baby was born. He loved the scent and last of her, he got aroused by watching and feeling her body move beneath him as he pleasured her with his tongue and lips. It drove her building the heat and intense fervor that felt like a cresting waving moving closer to shores. The feeling he felt with her legs trembling and his name crescendoed off her lips. Liam pulled back and slid a single finger inside of her warmth pumping hitting her sensitive spot repeatedly. Sexy’s stimulation was heightened during the second trimester. Her nipples peaked from cold air, but also from the building ant. His hand roamed roughly over her exposed breasts. He ran his fingers over her nipples, pinching and pulling lightly until she moaned. Sexy was on edge from the sensation coming from her breasts and the feel of his now two digits he had working in harmony. She felt the pressure building stringer as she was moments away from crashing the edge. Liam knew it couldn't be too much longer as he felt her walls pulsing and gripping around his fingers. “You are so wet love...are you ready for me?”, he whispered in a low tone. Sexy could barely get a word out, “Yes… oh god, Liam Yes. I want you… I need you.”, she moaned.

Liam stroked her sides, his hands wandering lower and lower until he reached her sex. Sexy was ready for his cock to explore the depths of her love. Sexy wriggled beneath Liam as he excited her peaks and valleys. Liam held himself up, the tip of his cock positioned at her entrance. “Sexy… you are mine and I cannot wait to show you how much I love you”, he proclaimed. He thrust into her slowly, the sensation overwhelming him. “God, you’re so tight,” he grunted out, resting his forehead against her forehead. He started to buck wildly against her, thrusting harder and harder. Sexy wrapped her legs around his waist as his blue eyes locked on her hazel eyes. Neither Liam nor Sexy could bring themselves to look away, captivated by every stroke, every breath, every nip that was shared. He nipped lightly at the spot that drove her crazy, right under her ear. Liam’s movements increased and the intensity grew stronger as he felt her sex lock onto his stiff massive length as he drove himself into her faster. Sexy felt stretched and so full as Liam occupied every inch of space inside the woman he loves. The fire was undeniable and the loss of control was evident as she felt her body tensing beneath him as he held her close, no space between them.

“Fuck Liam!”, she screamed as the pleasure overtook her body.

“Sexy, baby you feel amazing. I … I don't know how much longer I can hold out”, he panted and fought to steady his breath. Their bodies were both slick with a sheen of sweat that covered them as they got lost in the passions filling the room. Liam felt her thighs weaken and shake as she came undone. “Yessssss”, she screamed. “Liam oh yes!” His thrusts became erratic as he thrusts deeper a few more times before he joined her in a release of his own, “Sexy..awww baby!” He collapsed beside her wrapping his arms around her slowly rubbing her small baby bump. He looked at her intently, “I didn't hurt you… did I?”, he stroked her cheek gently.

Sexy curled into him, tucking her head beneath his chin, “You were perfect Liam… you always are with me. I can promise you there is not a single complaint from me.”, she giggled and kissed his lips. Liam smiled at her at a loss for words, “I never get enough of you love.” He pulled the cover back and draped it over their naked bodies. They laid contentedly together drifting off to sleep.

***

The next afternoon Liam and Sexy met with Ana De Luca and several other members of the press at Valtoria for the interview. King Liam donned a three-piece navy blue suit and his queen was comfortably draped in a soft cream-colored wrap dress with sage green and blush-colored flowers. Sexy was slightly nervous as she walked to the hand in hand with Liam to the recently built gazebo overlooking the lake. It was serene and picturesque as they made their way closer to the reporters awaiting their statement. Liam flashed his megawatt smile at her and immediately took command of the event.

“Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. We are pleased that you all could join us here. For decades the Cordonian press served as the voice of the people that we lead. As Cordonia’s monarch, I wish to share some news. As you all know my beautiful queen has been the love of my life since the day we met in New York. She has embraced Cordonia and all of her hopes with radiant energy and compassion. Sexy shares my hopes and dreams for Cordonia to make this a kingdom that values opportunity, honor, and family. We both knew Sexy was the one when we discussed values and duty. As king of Cordonia, I always knew that I had a duty to lead this country is fair and just also a duty to keep the monarchy strong. Queen Sexy and I take our responsibilities seriously but found this particular duty to fall in line with our own values and love. We are here to officially let all of Cordonia and the world know that we are expecting the royal heir.”

An outpouring of murmurs and applause broke out amongst the press. Liam wrapped his arm around Sexy’s waist as they both beamed and breathed a sigh of relief that the news was finally out. He knew that he needed to alleviate Sexy’s fear of being labeled a crown chaser or purposely becoming pregnant to trap a new king. Liam watched as a smile broke out on her face knowing she could now enjoy the baby coming without worrying about a picture being leaked.

Ana lobbed a question, “your majesties, how has the pregnancy been treating the queen?”

Liam gestured to Sexy to answer for herself, “The morning sickness was overwhelming at first but it seems to have subsided in recent weeks. I am hopeful that this little button will bring Cordonia as much joy as he or she has bought us since learning the news. We just want a happy, healthy baby to enrich our family and our country.”

Liam and Sexy stood tall in front of the flashing cameras and microphones as the news started to settle in that they were pregnant. His smile was infectious as he stared lovingly at Sexy pushing a strand curl behind her ear away from her face.

“King Liam, how do you feel knowing you are going to be a father?”,Donnie paused anxiously waiting on the soundbite that would spread across the kingdom.

“I am elated that the woman I love is carrying my child. I cannot wait to meet our baby. Fatherhood is always a journey I looked forward to embarking upon, but to have this journey with the love of life is a dream come true. I hope to be the kind of father that our child can look up to, the kind of king that will balance family and duties.”, his stature towered over Sexy with pride.

It was evident to all in attendance that this was a welcomed addition. The moment embodied the happiness, the pride, the excitement, and the love all in one. Sexy knew that she could be without some random reporter or citizen surmising that she was pregnant. All she wanted was to grow her baby in peace and provide Liam and Cordonia with the stability that was craved. The press snapped photos of the king and queen jubilant in the news of the heir. Liam squeezed Sexy’s hand in reassurance as she smiled into the cameras. “Thank you all again for coming but it's time to get my queen inside to rest.”

Sexy and Liam walked away toward the estate of Valtoria feeling relieved to have faced the critics of the press. “Now we prepare ourselves for what to come next...the trial of my father and his accomplices”, Liam sighed. “All will learn that you do not come after my queen and my child and expect to live unscathed”, he bristled.

“Liam… let us just enjoy this moment without the treachery of your father. I love you for always wanting to protect but I need to protect myself as well. Soon everyone will know of our baby and I’m sure it won't be all good wishes and congratulations”, Sexy wrapped her arm around Liam as they stopped to enjoy the sight of duchy Valtoria.

I saw your comment on the 3 LI’s Nonny... you’re faulting Liam for falling in love and “breaking the rules” (totally agree with you on the mistress part) but Drake does more than just complain and be too sarcastic... He has a CONSTANT pity party for himself, he can’t even express his feelings, not to mention he fell just as instantly for MC as Liam did, Liam just actually tells MC. And Drake proposes after having NO KIND of relationship with MC prior except mere fantasies. Far from perfect.

Okay I could probably talk for days on this matter, but here we go. I'm faulting Liam for falling head over heels at first site, not just for falling in love. Every argument you are making about Drake falling in love without knowing her is what happens with Liam in my second playthrough. I didn't kiss him, didn't do any of his diamond scenes, rejected him at every turn, yet he still proposes (it's the plot of the book, I get it, but still awkward AF). The other three LIs only propose after two whole books if you choose them when you reject Liam. Now you could have choosen Drake for the hell of it without having done any of his scenes or romantic options but why would you?

Now to address all the faults you bring up:

1. The pity party - Let's review Drake's history. His dad died presumably when he was a teenager and his mom didn't cope well and left her two teenage children to be looked after by Bastien. So he only had 3 people in his life who were close to him at the time: Savannah, Bastien, and Liam. The nobles never treated him like he was one of them and if you look to the examples in the book (Olivia, Madeleine, Neville) they were pretty damn brutal just because he was a commoner. You could argue it was his personality but his status always came up in the insults. I don't blame him one bit for being bitter and resentful of the whole nobility system.

So if he hates it so much, why is he still there? Well as has been stated many times before he did try to leave. He went to college in the U.S. but then Liam had a mental breakdown after an assassination attempt and nobody could pull him out of it, so Leo went to the US and begged Drake to come back. Drake gave up everything he wanted to be with Liam. Yes, it appears it has been many years since then, but Drake and Liam have become so codependent on each other, it's not so easy for him to just be like okay you are good now I'm going to start a new life. Plus at the point the book begins, Savannah is gone and he doesn't even know if she's alive. Liam and Bastien are literally the only close friends/family he has left. As someone whose parents died when I was in my early 20s and whose only sister/sibling has had her own issues where at times I didn't know where she was or if she was even alive, I can empathize. You want to hold on the people you do have in your life. It doesn't mean he has to be happy with system of privilege around him just because he's there for other reasons.

2. The rest of your complaints all go together and are so off base I'm just going to address them here. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you forgot that numerous Drake diamond scenes exist. I would argue that the Drake romance arc is one of the best and angstiest slow burn build ups Choices writers have done and is one of the reasons Drake was so interesting to me as a character. Drake may have thought MC was attractive off the bat, but he didn't even particularly like her. It took several diamond scenes before he started to open up to her in Lythikos. Then the romance built up little by little through Applewood when he rescued her from Tariq and he started to express his feelings but also his hesitation because of Liam being his friend and his own insecurities (I know people drag him for being insecure but can you blame him when every girl would give anything to be with the prince and not look twice at his commoner friend). He tried to push the MC away at every turn, but if you choose to romance him and do his scenes, she keeps pushing back. And he does keep admitting his feelings but also his hesitation. It takes 15 chapters to build up to just a kiss, and 2 full books for them to sleep together. Each diamond scene builds on the last with increasing feelings and sexual tension and the payoff is worth it in the end. Drake is very forthright with his feelings towards the end of book 2 and when you finally choose him, he's very openly sweet, protective, romantic, loyal etc.

The Drake you romance is so much better and more developed than the Drake you sideline because you only get to see the one dimensional fancy food/noble hating whiskey drinker if you don't do his scenes. Even towards the end, he comes around to a lot of these things because of/for MC, but he doesn't completely change who he is. So while I understand why people who don't romance Drake can't see all the things who romance him do, I don't get the animosity towards Drake stans for liking him or why anyone cares at all who others romance.

I get that some people find the enthusiasm of some stans annoying but I'm not seeing any Drake stans going into Liam/Hana/Maxwell stans inboxes and telling them how much their LI sucks and how dumb they are for liking them. I can see the reasons why everyone likes those other LIs, but they don't do it for me just as Drake may not do it for you. Unless anyone is trying to force Drake (or any LI) on you as a LI, just do your thing and let them like who they like.

Louisiana - Somewhere

Barely 8am and the rural Louisiana heat was quite high for this late in the fall. But Jake McKenzie didn’t mind. He preferred warm weather over anything remotely cold. There was just something about being able to go outside and let the sun’s rays soak into your skin that Jake enjoyed. Sure, he’d been to places with colder climates and had a good time, but he found the process of bundling up to be rather annoying.

Plus, he wouldn’t be able to go for his routine run outdoors if he lived some place with colder weather. He’d be trapped inside on a treadmill at one of those cookie cutter, corporate gyms that he despised. World Fitness. Jake tried it out once during a free trial weekend. It sucked. He much preferred the makeshift gym in his garage and the ability to jog without worrying about a time limit because the place was stuffed to the rafters with people. Too many people. This eventually led to several other patrons always waiting to use the machines.

But running outdoors on his own time, without anyone else around, was much more in his comfort zone. Just him and nature. And running outside meant that Jake didn’t need headphones to tune out unwanted distractions. He was able to run freely with his own thoughts and nothing else.

The repeated ‘thwap thwap’ sound of Jake’s worn sneakers ricocheting off the pavement always brought a soothing calm to his mind. He could usually tell from the repetitious noise just how close he was to meeting the Navy required time for a mile and a half run - 16 minutes 10 seconds - the new maximum time allowed. In his prime, Jake could easily best that time with a 6 minute mile pace, but nowadays he’d be lucky to run a mile in under ten minutes.

Gotta ease up on all the beers, Hotness Jake imagined Taylor saying to him playfully as he wiped his brow with the back of his hand. The sweat had matted his shaggy brown hair to his head and periodically a rogue drop would try to course its way towards Jake’s eye. Burning eyes while running wouldn’t feel good at all. The sweat running down his bare chest and what was left of his abs, however, felt great. Particularly because of the heat. Whenever a brief breeze did blow, his body would get a momentary reprieve from the humid feeling with a slight cooling effect.

As Jake crested a slight hill in the road, he noticed a car parked along the side of the pavement well off in the distance. It was a pretty unusual sight as his chosen running route was a very desolate, practically abandoned, stretch of highway. Jake couldn’t remember the last time he saw a vehicle that wasn’t his truck or Old Man Crabbypant’s rust-covered Cadillac.

___

“I think I see him. Shaggy brown hair. Average height. Crooked smile.”

“That’s him. That’s Jake McKenzie,” Ava said as she slammed the trunk of the car. “Quick, hide the binoculars and take off your shirt.”

“What? Why?”

“Dan Pierce!” Ava snapped. “Don’t question me! Just do it!”

“This is ridiculous,” Dan replied as he tossed the binoculars into the back seat of the rental car and slipped his tight blue t-shirt off. He kept muttering to himself as he moved to the front of the car and set the hood open to rest on the prop rod.

“He’s a lonely man, yet he ignored every person that approached him at the bar when I was observing last night. I just need something to entice him to stop and chat. Now stop complaining and work what your momma gave ya Dan. And pretend I’m not here.” Ava quickly made her way down the slight embankment off the side of the road and crouched down out of site.

“How do you know he’s lonely?”

“Hush. Pretend to be inspecting the engine. Pull out one of those hose thingys.”

“But...”

Ava shushed her friend again and flicked her hands in agitation towards the front of the car. A small trail of white smoke began to creep up from the engine bay startling Dan.

___

Jake slowed his pace as he approached the stopped car, taking in the beautifully sculpted masculine sight before him. The shirtless, mop topped brunette’s hands were firmly planted on the front of the car, supporting him as he peered over the engine. His well defined back muscles flexed slightly with each shifting movement as he inspected the disabled vehicle. Jake couldn’t help, but to admire the man’s broad shoulders that tapered to a trim waist with lower back dimples. Taylor had those as well and Jake was such a sucker for a man with them. He continued to drink in the gorgeous backside before him. Tight dark blue jeans situated low on the hips accentuating a cute, bubbled behind elicited a mild gasp as Jake’s jog shifted to a walk. He’s still not Taylor. As he approached, Jake placed both hands onto his hips as he took deep gulps of air in an effort to regulate and normalize his breathing. “Everything okay?”

From the side of the road, Ava watched as Jake strolled his slim, taut frame beside Dan. Now she just needed her friend to lull the fit recluse into a friendly conversation so that he’d let his guard down and she could have a much needed chat with him. Ava had hoped to talk to Jake the night before, but he was clearly giving off a vibe that said ‘Fuck Off’ to everyone. So Ava decided to go with Plan B: Shirtless Dan Pierce beside a ‘broken down’ car. And it seemed to be working.

___

Although Dan had seen Jake through the binoculars earlier, he hadn’t expected him to be as attractive as he was up close and personal. Dan couldn’t help his eyes wandering all over the jogger’s body. From his tantalizing and inviting blue eyes to the way his lopsided grin showcased his kissable lips; Jake was more man than Dan expected. “Not sure. It started to smoke and then just quit.” Dan’s eyes continued to wander down Jake’s body following his white lie, admiring the way the sun glinted off of his sweat laced chest and how his matted blue shorts hugged high and tight to his muscular thighs leaving almost nothing to the imagination.

“Mind if I take a look?”

“Not at all.” Dan stepped to the side allowing Jake to inspect the car’s motor to see what the problem might be. He glanced towards where Ava had been hiding, but she waved him off to pay attention to Jake. Dan returned his eyes to the man beside him, noticing the strength and definition in his body. “You’re hot,” he reflexively said; his eyes going wide the moment he realized that his comment was out loud and not in his head. “I mean, you look hot...like... hot like you need a drink. Do you want a water?”

Jake flashed a wry smile at the man’s moment of fluster. Still got it Jake. “Sure. A water would be nice.”

“K. I think we got some in the trunk.”

“We?”

Shit! Dan’s face immediately flushed with worry. He caught me. He knows. He fucking knows. “I. I’ve got some in the trunk. I have no idea why I said ‘we.’” Dan’s voice cracked as he nervously laughed. He made his way to the back of the car, hoping that Jake wouldn’t challenge his lie. Dan reached into the soft Coleman cooler and yanked a bottle of ice cold water from its depths. He closed the trunk and jumped back in surprise. The former pilot was standing near the driver’s side rear door with his arms folded across his chest. “Jesus Jake. You scared me. I didn’t hear you walk over.”

“How’d you know my name is Jake?”

___

Damn it Dan. Ava watched as her friend got flustered after Jake caught him in his faux pas. She couldn’t hide any longer. As much as Ava had hoped to get Jake to let his guard down before she broached the difficult subject of his lost love, she couldn’t let her friend Dan suffer Jake’s questioning on his own. “Wait Jake. I can explain everything,” Ava confessed as she made her way up the embankment towards the two shirtless gentlemen.

Jake took in the towering woman approaching him and the attractive stranger. She wore her hair in a beautifully braided style with several streaks of pink throughout. Her clothes looked like the latest in goth fashion from Hot Topic and no doubt many people lumped her into the goth chick category. But Jake knew better. He knew a witch when he saw one. “Who are you? Who is this guy? And what do you want?”

“My name is Ava Cunningham. That’s my friend Dan Pierce. And we both just want to help you, Jake.”

“You want to help me? You don’t even know me, Hermione. You think having some Handsome Guy chat me up means I’ll let you use your witchcraft to get into my head and poke around?” Jake saw the confusion on Ava’s face as she processed his words. “Yeah, I know you’re some kinda witch. Not the first one I’ve come upon in my life. You and Sexy Mop Top here can go back to Hogwarts and leave me alone.” Jake turned to leave the two young strangers, hoping he wouldn’t have to resort to other unpleasant means to get them to leave.

“How’d you know I was a witch?” Ava asked before Jake could even take two steps. She watched him pause in his tracks for a moment as if he was contemplating his thoughts.

Jake smiled to himself, his back facing Ava and Dan. So I was right. He loved when he read people correctly. Jake turned around, gesturing towards the front of the car as he did. “The engine. Nothing was loose or cracked. No obvious signs of damage, yet there was smoke coming from the bay. Growing up in Louisiana, you come to learn those parlor tricks. Also, there’s still a faint amount of smoke emanating from the palm of your right hand.” The instant Jake pointed out her tell, Ava looked down and clenched her fist extinguishing the last of the embers. “Next time Hermoine, just lead with the magic tricks. People love them.”

“But you’re not most people, Jake! I know what you’ve been through and...”

“You don’t know anything!” Jake whirled around to leave again; his face red with rage.

“Stuck in a time loop on a tropical island. Battling sea monsters and giant crabs. Fending off your old boss from Arachnid. But it wasn’t all bad. You helped protect a bunch of scared college kids. Reunited with your friend you thought was dead. Married the love of your life.” Ava watched Jake’s shoulders slowly rock up and down. She couldn’t tell if he was getting more agitated by her words or if she was getting through his gruff exterior and he was finally listening. “I know what Taylor means to you Jake. And I think I know a way to get him back.”

Jake took a few paces towards the front of the car. He dropped the prop rod and slammed the hood. “Screw the magic tricks. Next time lead with that.” Jake pointed to a smiling Ava and a confused Dan, “Get in the car. I’m driving.”

Rarely one to show genuine excitement, Ava giddily ran over to get into the front passenger seat beside Jake, while Dan remained glued in place behind the car. “So, can I put my shirt back on now?”

___

“So you’re telling me the Queen of Corona, some life-style blogger, and an editor are the most powerful witches in the world? And they don’t know it?” Jake plopped down onto the old couch in his living room, running a hand through his sweat dampened hair, before twisting open the water bottle Dan hand been intending to give him earlier. He gulped down about half of the refreshing liquid, letting out an exaggerated sigh of satisfaction when he was done.

“Cordonia,” Ava corrected, leaning against the door jamb that separated the kitchen from the living room. “And I know it sounds ridiculous...”

“It sounded like a joke when she told me. Which is crazy cuz I believed her when she told me about our friends battling moss creatures during the Homecoming dance senior year,” Dan interrupted. He pulled up a seat on the overstuffed leather chair across from Jake. The chair had seen better days, but damn was it comfortable. “An editor, a blogger, and a queen walk into a bar...” Dan chuckled softly, quite pleased with his humorous quip.

Ava rolled her eyes at her friend. “Weren’t you wanting to put your shirt back on Dan? I’m sure it’s still in the car if you wanna go get it and I’ll speak with Jake.”

“I’m good. It’s hotter in his house than it is outside.”

Jake flashed his award winning grin - Pearl River High School’s Mr. Bayou three years in a row. He swept the swimsuit and athletic events each time he won. Jake didn’t mind if Dan remained shirtless. He could appreciate the man’s appeal, but Jake’s heart belonged to Taylor and he was intrigued to know how Ava intended to bring him back. “He’s fine Hermoine. And I don’t think it sounds ridiculous at all. The things I’ve experienced on La Huerta; whatever Sexy Mop Top was talking about... I believe you.”

“Thanks Jake.”

“Hell, you could tell me that vampires roam New York and a robot is dating President Thompson and I’d believe you.” Jake finished the rest of his water and got up from the couch. He looked back and forth between Ava and Dan. “What I don’t believe is how you’ll be able to convince those sisters of who they really are, let alone get close enough to them to even try.”

Ava just stood silent. She didn’t have an answer for him as to how they would accomplish that feat. A few of her friends were in New York with her girlfriend, Stacy, working on a plan, but she hadn’t received an update on their progress. Ava watched as Jake excused himself from the room to finally go wash off the grime from his run. “Have you heard from Stacy, Lucas, or Cade yet?” Dan shook his head, giving Ava a brief moment of stress before she collected herself again. “Guess we’ll have to go New York and figure it out together.”

___

From within a living room mirror, Donovan Bailey observed Ava take a seat across from Dan. “The sisters are in New York,” he said turning to his friend, Shreya.

“I’ll tell the others and see if they can get a lock on their location.” Shreya quickly vanished leaving Donovan alone to continue keeping an eye on Ava Cunningham. While she wasn’t naturally attuned like Donovan and his friends, the magic world had become aware of her developing powers. After all, it wasn’t every day that a mortal human learned to harness powerful magic on her own.

***

End Note: Donovan Bailey is the name of my MC in The Elementalists. In regards to Endless Summer, I went with the third ending so this story takes place roughly a year after MC disappeared to save the others and free them from La Huerta.

Drunken nights and realizations - Hunt x MC fanfic

Summary: After successfully convincing Hunt to go out with her to a night in the town, Freya gets really drunk. As it turns out - she’s a talker when she’s drunk, and between all the nonsense she mumbles, Hunt realizes he’d fallen in love with her.

Author’s note: I saw the otp question’s question “Who gets extremely corny and murmurs sweet nothings in the other’s ear when drunk?”, and while this isn’t exactly the case in this fic this is what initially inspired it.

I realized Freya is naturally very composed, and while she’s more carefree than Hunt (It’s not really an accomplishment a cactus is more carefree then Hunt come on), she’d be even more fun & adorable when she’s tipsy.

I have a few other Hunt x MC wips atm, but I wanted to finish this fluffy piece first.

I started another course about two weeks back, so I’m super busy and I don’t get to write as much or as often as I’d like, but this little fluffy piece just felt really right 😁

Hope you’ll like it!

When did you know? When was the moment you fell in love with? If you had to pin-point the exact moment you realized you were in love with her/him, when would you say it was?

Those were frequently asked questions when it came to love and relationships.

And usually, the stories following it were full of romance and extravagant gestures.

Utter trash, if you ask Thomas Hunt.

Because if you ask him, love isn’t measured by the number of grand gestures you’ve pulled out, or the number of romantic places you’ve crossed from your list.

No, it was about the precious moments, the ones you cherished, the ones you prayed would go on forever.

And sometimes, just sometimes, you’ve realized it in the silliest ways possible. Not at all like Hollywood portrayed it to be, but then again - Hollywood got a lot of things wrong.

Still, even with all of that - Hunt never thought he’d realize it that way, too.

It happened one night after they’ve started seeing each other.

The production was swinging in full motion, and kept a secret from the outside world, much like their relationship, at the given moment.

Freya convinced Thomas to go out to a night in the town with her, promising to secure a secluded place where they won’t be bothered.

Josh Morello, the renowned comedy actor, was the only familiar face there, and he winked at them as he ushered them into a private night club with surprisingly decent music and tons of people who... For a chance, did not care who was he.

A night club might not have been Hunt’s cup of tea, but it was a nice change of pace from their usual date nights, and letting loose and dancing with Freya as close as he wanted to, in contrary to the few formal dances he’d shared with her, was definitely something to be thankful for.

Admittedly, Freya did most of the ‘letting loose’, rather than him, but it was still nice to relax for a bit and watch her as she mingled stress-free and blissfully around the crowd.

The only downside of the evening, was how wasted she seemed to be in the end of it.

And even that would be a stretch to call a ‘downside’, since she’d acted surprisingly cooperatively and didn’t cause much trouble when Hunt suggested they call it a night and get her some water and air.

He called a cab and gave his home address, cursing at himself for not taking his car out tonight.

Freya was resting her head over his chest, mumbling happily at Hunt, even if her sentences didn’t make much sense.

He played along, nodding and giving ‘huh’s and ‘oh’s to make her keep going, before thanking the cab rider when they arrived.

“Here,” He helped Freya out, and fumbled with his keys before opening the door widely.

“Let me just grab my car keys and we’ll be out-” The hour was late, and if they would be spotted together, leaving the house tomorrow there’s ought to be talk and-

“Nu-uhh,” She plops down on his couch before Hunt can say anything.

“Excuse me?” His eyes widen and eyebrows shoot up. He’s not scandalized but mostly in shock.

“I’m sleeping here tonight. And that’s my final word.” She determines, her eyes already fluttering close and she curls up into a ball, fitting herself on top of his couch.

“Freya...” He watches her for a second, taking in how, even in her sleep, the smile never leaves her face. She looks truly happy, and the thought he might have a hand in that happiness lights up a certain place inside his chest, one that did not burn for a long time.

When she doesn’t respond, and he realizes he lost that battle before it even started, he circles the couch and crouches near her legs. He takes off her heels and sets them aside, looking over and examining the rest of her body.

He shifts and sits down next to her. He runs his hand through his hair, his caress soft and loving.

“Do you want some pajamas at least?” He glances at her, wondering if she’s already deeply immersed in a dream or if she’s going to answer to him.

It takes her a few moments, but finally Freya murmurs out a response. “No I don’t really like jam...” Even though she heard him, she definitely did not listen.

Hunt snorts out, careful not to startle her awake too much. He brushes his fingers along her cheek, and she instinctively giggles in response, leaning into his touch.

“No, Freya, pajamas, like the kind you usually sleep in?” He tries again, simplifying it for her hazy mind.

He has to remember she’s not only exhausted and sleepy, but also still tipsy from the amount she drank at the club.

“Slipping? Slipping where?” She still seems not to get the hint. 

He chuckled warmly and shook his head. “You’re adorable.” He can’t help but utter it out.

“No you’re adorable.” She immediately replies.

“Oh because that one you just had to get right.” It’s amazing, how even in her sleep, Freya seemed to be able to tease him, to have the upper hand.

Not that Hunt complained, not at all.

He was in the complete mercy of that woman, even if she didn’t know it yet.

He sat there for another minute or so, before Freya blinked at him slowly.

Her eyes were still mostly sleepy, and the way strands of hair fell out of place on top of her head made her look somehow even more beautiful, if that was even possible.

“Can you get me some pajamas to wear?” She asked, innocently, her eyes glowing in the dim light of his apartment.

“Sure.” The corners of his lips curled upwards, into a soft smile. As if he never even suggested it himself a few moments ago.

He stood up and went into his bedroom, to retrieve a set of pj’s Freya could wear.

When he turned around, a set of the smallest pajamas he could find in his closet in his hand, he was surprised to see her standing in the doorway. She was peeking from behind the door frame, stifling a yawn with one of her hands.

“Do you mind if I sleep with you instead? In your bed- I mean.” She blinks at him, like she’s fighting to stay awake. But she’s definitely awake at the moment and aware of her actions.

He hesitates, for a mere second, before handing her her clothes. “Sure.” He nods, and Freya breaks into a wide grin, beaming at him.

“Yay!” She muses, dancing a little, tired but happy dance.

As if she haven’t danced enough throughout the night.

Thomas is unable to ignore her any further, and pulls her in for a quick kiss.

Freya gives into the kiss, kissing him as messily and as enthusiastically as possible.

It’s over too soon, and he reminds himself they both have work tomorrow, so they should be getting to bed.

He slides off his jacket, and changes into something lighter, before slipping under the sheets, watching as Freya fumbles with the buttons of the shirt he’d given her.

“Do you need a hand with that?” He asks, his own voice sounding sleepier than he’d usually give away.

Freya shakes her head, decisively, before finally getting the hang of it and running with the rest of the buttons. 

She sends him a mischievous smile. “Though you can definitely enjoy yourself and watch.” Her eyes glisten with playfulness as Thomas sucks in a breathe.

He takes a second to compose himself, shaking his head and sinking further into his pillow.

Freya giggles, before deciding to leave out the pajamas pants and climbing under the covers in nothing but Hunt’s shirt and a pair of silky underwear.

She cuddles closer to him, seeming already half in the process of sleep as his own hands wrap up around her.

Hunt watches her for another moment, savoring and cherishing it before his eyes flutter close and sleep threatens to fall over him.

“Good night, Freya.” He says in a low voice, feeling completely content with the moment.

“Good night, love.” He almost misses it. It takes her a while to respond once again, but when she does...

She makes Hunt’s heart race in his chest.

His eyes shoot open, but he does not dare move an inch.

Is that what it is? The warm feeling in his chest?

Admittedly, it wasn’t the first time Hunt had fallen in love...

But it hadn’t happened in a long time. He didn’t allow it.

But Freya seemed to sneak up behind all of his defenses and secure a spot in his heart.

Love... Huh?

He didn’t suppress the smile forming over his lips as he closed his eyes a second time, this time ready for sleep to wash over him, as he laid entangled with the woman that he... Loved.
