Solider, Poet, Queen Part One

AUknight!Austin Butler x princess!reader

I’m so obsessed with Soldier, Poet, King so I thought I’d do a twist on it! This is part one, I’m expecting one or two more parts! I’m so in love with this fic and it’s definitely the longest I’ve written. I decided to split it into multiple parts since I don’t have a long enough attention span to read long fics! I hope you love it! I’m working on the next part now, things are about to get intense! Smut will be in the coming chapters.

Summary: The princess Y/n begins falling for the knight assigned to protect her as her world crumbles around her.

Warnings: Mentions of death, blood and throwing up, emotionally abusive and controlling parent. (I think thats everything for this chapter.)

Word count: 2.8k

Mother had always hated father and always told me of the man she fell in love with back home in Ireland. He was a knight which meant he wasn’t good enough for her family so she did what her father said and married my father. He was the worst kind of person. My mother was beautiful, my father was what many would describe as a toad. I thankfully took after my mother. I had turned 20 and it was time for my parents to find me my husband. I didn’t want them to pick my husband, I knew mother would have no say in it and I would end up just like her, depressed and angry, longing for another.

I would end up just like my mother and what they didn’t realize was that I already was. I had found my love. And he was a knight. He was a commander, the best commander I had ever seen. I loved watching him from my window as I read. The problem was, neither of us knew my feelings for him. I couldn’t understand the butterflies in my stomach or the torturous feeling between my legs as I watched him training or riding away on his horse.

Here I was again, watching him from my window as he pulled his shirt over his sweaty torso after training for the pat hour in the hot summer sun. My door was pushed open and my book fell to the floor as I jumped up in shock. “I’m sorry I startled you.” Mother said. “It’s alright.” I said, sitting back down on the window seat. She sat down next to me and held my hands. “I see you have your eyes on Commander Butler.” She smiled looking out the window as he mounted and rode off on his horse. “I find him handsome.” I said. “Please don’t become too attached.” She said. “I know, mother. He’s just nice to look at as a distraction from my studies.” I said.

“His grandfather was one of the knights that protected my family in Ireland. He was on the ship to bring me here, he lost his life protecting me from pirates. His wife and teenage son stayed safe in one of the cabins and they started their life here. The son found a wife and had a child, commander Butler. When the war broke out the commanders father was killed and his mother died of a broken heart, leaving the poor child on his own.” She said. “I don’t remember any of the war.” I said. “You were just a baby. I still remember watching him when he was learning to sword fight with the knights. If I were ever outside with you, he’d always come say hello.” She smiled. I smiled. My smile quickly faded as I saw the serious look on mothers face.

“Your father has let me know that Denmark’s Prince Fredrick is on a ship to come meet you for marriage.” She sighed. I turned pale. “I’m so sorry.” She said. “It makes sense. Prince Fredrick is just like father, a toad faced snake.” I said. She nodded and stood up. “I wasn’t supposed to tell you. If you need anything, just come and find me.” She smiled before walking out and shutting the door. I set my book aside and walked to my vanity, brushing my long hair out and added a light pink color to my lips. I adjusted my pink day dress that hung off of my shoulders and left my room. The sounds of my heels echoed around the palace as I went to the front door. It was a hot, steamy day outside and I knew I wouldn’t be out here long.

I smiled and nodded to all of the palace help as I walked towards the stables. I hadn’t been allowed outside much and hadn’t seen my horse in a few weeks. The stables came into view and I saw my beautiful HoneySuckle, she was a very gentle blonde horse. I ran my fingers through her mane and pressed a light kiss to her nose. “Hi sweet girl.” I said. She grunted and I continued to make up for all of the missed love from the past few weeks.

“State your business here.” A loud voice said. I jumped and my back hit the door of HoneySuckles stall as I turned to face the voice. Commander Butler’s voice. “Your highness. I apologize for startling you.” He said, dismounting from his horse. “It’s quite all right, I startle very easily.” I laughed. “It’s very nice to see you out here. It’s been quite a while I believe.” He said. “43 days.” I said a blush creeping on my cheeks. “Are you not an outdoors type person?” He asked. “I enjoy the outdoors. I have just been forbidden from being out here.” I said. “Well then you better not be out here long.” He said. “I would go inside, but I have the fear of getting lost.” I said. “So a guide is what you need?” He asked. “That sounds about right to me.” I smiled he nodded and started towards the palace, his hand resting on the handle of his sword.

There were knights posted at what seemed every door as we walked in. Commander Butler nodded to all of them and they nodded back. “There are so many more than before I left.” I said. “That is because of the Prince. Since we have someone coming from a different kingdom we have to up security to avoid another war.” He said. “Is that what happened to start the war?” I asked. “In a way. A peace treaty was to be signed with Brazil and it ended with the assassination of the late Queen.” He said. “Oh thats terrible.” I gasped. “It was a very dark time. We all feared that you, the beloved princess would be next.” He said. I nodded. “I’m especially glad you were and are safe.” He smiled once we made it to my room and stood outside the door. “Thank you Commander.” I said, grabbing the door knob. “Austin, you can call me Austin, you highness.” He said. “Ok Austin, you can call me, Y/n.” I said. “I will see you later, Y/n.” He said. He nodded and walked away. There it was again, that feeling I couldn’t put my finger on.

I closed the door and sighed as I rested my head against the door. I collected myself and walked back over to my window seat, picking up my book again. An hour later I had only progressed one page in my book because there he was again, directing the other knights and preparing the palace for the arrival of the prince. I was again removed from my book and thoughts as my assistants, Mary-Ann and Jane, came in. “The Prince will be here soon, we have to get you ready.” Mary-Ann said. I nodded and walked over to my vanity. Jane brushed my hair and began braiding it into a braided crown as Mary-Ann went into my closet to find my dress.

“Are you excited to meet him?” Jane asked. “Not exactly.” I sighed. She gave me a strange looked and continued on my hair. I had missed my old assistant, Ruby. She was around my age and always related with me and gave me advice. Father didn’t like that very much and dismissed her. I haven’t seen her in a few months and I had no idea what had happened to her. Now she was replaced by Mary-Ann and Jane, they were about 10 years older than me and honestly were idiots.

“Here’s your dress, Madam.” Mary-Ann said. “Mary-Ann, thats a ball gown, I need a tea length gown.” I sighed. “Oh, tea length.” She said, retreating back to my closet. Jane had finished my hair and was done with my makeup by the time Mary-Ann found a dress. It was a royal blue dress with a satin strapless top and tulle skirt. “Will this one work, your highness?” She asked. “Yes, thank you Mary-Ann. You girl can call me Y/n if you’d like.” I said. “Ok, Madam.” Jane said. I sighed and they left to room so I could dress.

The dress fit perfect and I knew father would be happy with Mary-Ann’s choice as it was our kingdoms color. I heard cheering from outside my window and I knew that meant he had arrived. I slipped my white heels on and my tiara and closed my bedroom door as I left, heading to the front steps where I knew mother and father would be. I stood next to mother and she gave my hand three light squeezes saying, “I love you.”

There he was descending from the steps on the ship. He looked even more disgusting in person. I wanted to cry, I knew I’d be stuck marrying this man. He tossed gold coins from his pockets to the people cheering below him. Just like father, he’s giving and wonderful when he’s a stranger, and cruel when you become close to him.

I felt myself become sick as he stood in front of me and I curtsied. “It’s a pleasure to be in your presence, Prince Fredrick.” I said. “Well, yes.” He said before turning to speak to my father about dowry and when the wedding will be. I again felt sick. Mother squeezed my hand again reassuring me. “I think we should allow the Prince to rest after his long journey and let the Princess prepare for the dinner this evening.” Mother said. “Yes, of course. I will let the help know to prepare a ball for tomorrow evening to announce the royal marriage.” Father said.

“You’re room has been prepared for you. Follow her and she will show you and make sure everything is correct for you.” Mother said, directing him to the head maid. He nodded and began following her as his help followed him with armfuls of his luggage. “Get some rest before you have to get ready, sweetie.” Mother whispered to me. I nodded and walked to my bedroom where I was immediately caught off guard. There was Commander Butler posted outside my door. “What are you doing, Coman- I mean, Austin?” I asked. “This will be my post until the guests leave due to the threat of the guests. And as we have a young man and a beautiful young woman set to be married, we have to make sure things stay pure until the marriage.” He said. I blushed. “Well, thank you commander. I am going to rest until the dinner.” I said. “If you need something, you know where to find me.” He smiled. I nodded and walked into my room, quietly shutting the door behind me. I walked to my bed and snuggled under my blankets, shoes and all, too tired to care.

I opened my eyes to see the clock on my nightstand read 6:00. I groaned as I realized dinner was in 30 minutes. I sat up and felt something pulling my hair so I walked over to my mirror to find my tiara was tangled in my hair. I whimpered as I tried to get it out but quickly failed. I was confused of why my assistants hadn’t come in yet, they normally came to help ready me 30-45 minutes before an event. I stood up and walked to my door, barely opening it just so I could see the commander. “Commander.” I whispered. “Yes, Madam?” He asked, turning to face me. “Where are Mary-Ann and Jane?” I asked. “We called for them not too long ago, we haven’t heard a response.” He said. “Ok, well dinner is in 30 minutes and I’m in a bit of a pickle. Could you help me?” I asked. “What do you need help with?” He asked, pushing the door open a little further. He saw the mess of tangles in my hair and nodded before following me to my vanity.

“You didn’t think to take your tiara off before resting?” He asked, his fingers getting to work. “Exhaustion took over.” I winced as he pulled on a knot. “Sorry.” He said. “It’s alright.” I said. After lots of tugging and loosening, finally my tiara was out of my hair and set on my vanity. Now he had the task of untangling my hair. I intently watched him as he removed the pins from my hair and set them in front of me. His eyes were squinted in concentration. I felt a chill go down my spine as I felt his breath against my neck.

“Your hair looks pretty when it’s down.” He said, starting to take out the braids. “I didn’t know you had curly hair.” He said. “Its not, its just from the braids.” I laughed. “Well, as you can see I don’t have much experience in the hair category.” He said. “You have hair down to your shoulders!” I laughed. “Yes I do, but it’s not nice like yours.” He said. I laughed but was quickly cut off by the door being slammed open and the General bursting through it. “Sir!” Austin yelled, standing at attention. I slowly stood up from my chair. “Commander, were the orders to guard the Princesses room not clear enough for you?” The General said. “Yes, Sir. They w-” “I asked him to come in my room. I needed help untangling my hair before dinner and no one including myself and Commander Butler could find my assistants.” I said. The general nodded. “Do you need his help any longer?” He asked. “No, he helped me.” I said. “Follow me, Commander.” He said. Austin nodded to me and smiled as he followed the General. “Second strike, Butler.” I heard the general say before my door shut.

I dug my shoes out that were trapped in my comforter and slipped them on. “I’m glad you’re still here.” I smiled at the commander as I closed my bedroom door. “I am too. You better hurry, I saw them leading the Prince to the dining room.” He said. “Thank you.” I said before walking down the hall to the dining room. Mother and Father were already sitting at the table with the prince as I sat down. “A haircut is the first thing that needs to be done before the wedding, sir.” Fredrick said to my father, referring to my long hair. “We can have that arranged.” Father said. I felt like my corset was suffocating me, everything was foggy around me and I just wanted to scream and cry.

The entire rest of the night I didn’t hear anything. Just small, blurry voices talking about wedding dates, dowry and how to transport me to Denmark after the wedding. I took three bites of the roast that was in front of me but couldn’t choke down anymore. I curtsied to the prince and told Mother and Father goodnight before retreating to my room. I slid off my heels and ran to my room as I felt myself becoming sick. “Did the dinner go well, princess?” I heard the commander say as I ran past him and slammed the door to my room.

I leaned over the toilet, losing the contents of my stomach. It was all too real now. They picked a wedding date a week from tomorrow. I was scared and didn’t want to live like that. I stood up, brushed my teeth and walked back to my room. I untied my corset, taking what felt like my first breath of the night and put on my long white nightgown. I sat at my vanity to brush my hair but my hand grabbed my dagger instead of my brush. I ran my fingers over the gold unicorn head on the handle. I slowly slid the blade out of the cover and ran my finger across it, drawing a small amount of blood. I held the blade with both hands and moved it about a foot away from my body. I took a deep breath and moved it towards me about to stab it into my stomach before my door opened. The blade clattered to the floor and my eyes shot up meeting his wide eyes. His eyes moved down to my finger that was bleeding and he rushed into the room.

“Princess.” He said shakily as he kneeled in front of me. He picked the dagger up from the floor and slid it back into the cover. “Did you hurt yourself?” He asked. “No.” I sobbed. He wrapped a tissue around my bleeding finger and pulled me into a hug as I cried. “The prince had been wanting to see you and I had turned him away 3 times, that’s why I came in.” He said. “T-thank you.” I said. “Come here, you need to get some rest.” He said, pulling me up into his chest. I let out a shaky breath as he pulled my blankets over me. “Have you found Mary-Ann and Jane?” I asked. “We haven’t.” He said. I nodded. “I’ll tell him you’ve gone to sleep.” He said and turned the lights off. “Thank you.” I said, barely above a whisper.

An afternoon with the Di Angelo’s

In the Italian country side there was a beautiful mansion made of stone. The doors towards the giant garden were open and the sun was shining on the green grass. A beautiful brunette was sitting cross legged on the ground. Her hair in a short neat ponytail, her skin was tanned, and she was wearing white trousers and a blue button up, her feet were bare, her toenails painted blood red the same color as her fingernails. Her warm brown eyes were sparkling with mirth as she sang and clapped as two young children were chasing each other through the grass. One was a girl, her dark brown hair was in two braids. She was dressed as a knight with a wooden sword, chasing the boy, her brother, who was dressed as a pirate. The boy had raven hair in a wild mess on his head, he was shrieking in joy as his sister chased him.

Another person walked into the garden, dressed in a gray shirt and black pants. Feet and hands bare. Long raven black hair flowing in a thick braid down the man’s back. He was white as a ghost, and his eyes were black as coal. The man let himself fall on the grass with his head pillowed on the woman’s lap as they watched their children play. The father was smiling. Suddenly the girl stopped, just as the woman leaned down for a kiss. “NICO LOOK! THE PRINCESS IS GETTING ATTACHED BY THE DRAGON!”

Nico came to a halt. “ARR, we must save the princess.” The boy raised his wooden sword. Nico and Bianca broke into a run and bombarded their parents, but instead of attacking their father as a dragon they jumped their mother. Nico was getting tickled by Maria and shrieking in laughter.

Bianca helped Hades up, who had been fake scared of the dragon that was the mother of his children. “You must now go princess.”

Hades smiled at his daughter. “Princess? Aren’t I a prince?”

Bianca pondered that for a moment. “No, you are way too pretty to be a prince. Boys are yucky.” Hades nodded as if everything made sense now.

“I think brave knight. We must help save the pirate from the dragon’s clutches.” Bianca nodded in agreement.

“Yes, we must.” Then with a battle cry Bianca jumped on Nico and Maria who were rolling down in the grass. Which helped Nico get the upper hand, as he sat on his mother’s stomach who was fending off attacks of Bianca’s ‘magic powers’ Nico took his sword and with a great arch behind his back he got ready to strike, accidentally hitting his father who was behind him. Who let out a gasp and dramatically folded his hand to his forehead as he crumbled to his knees in slow motion. When he had ‘died’ tragically after sticking his tongue out his mouth and making a bleh sound, Nico and the others stormed to the fallen Princess.

“What shall we do?” Nico exclaimed.

“I know what we must do, a true love’s kiss. We must all kiss papa on his cheek and he will magically wake up!” So Hades got three kisses on his face, two very sloppy ones by young children and one neater one on his forehead.

He gasped for breath and put his hand to his heart. As he pulled his family in his arms and peppered them with kisses. “I have been saved!”

The family spent the rest of the day running around in in the grass, laughing. Enjoying their last day under Italy’s warm sun. Tomorrow they would move to the states. Hoping for a better life. Not aware yet of the murderous plans of one certain king of clouds.

prompt list: taylor swift lyrics

part ii | part iii | eras tour edition

Below are fifty prompts drawn from Taylor Swift’s discography. They can be used as dialogue, within narration, or just as inspiration.

Reblog to use as a call for prompts (one pairing/character with one or more numbers) or to inspire your own work.

time slows down

You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

the only thing I know like the back of my hand

Wasn’t it easier?

barefoot in the kitchen

I know delusion when I see it.

You can hear it in the silence.

Say you'll see me again.

Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong.

I don’t know how it gets better than this.

3 AM and I'm still awake

built a fire just to keep me warm

You say my name for the first time and I fall in love in an empty bar

All my days, I’ll know your face.

I'll save you a seat.

Our world was one block wide.

All of my heroes die all alone.

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes.

the way you sound in the morning

I’ve been looking sad in all the nicest places.

You come and pick me up, no headlights.

I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye.

I’m pretty sure we almost broke up last night.

We pretended it could last forever.

an expert at “sorry”

before you went and let me down

I've read all of the books beside your bed.

Think of the fun things we could do.

It's 2 AM and I'm cursing your name.

Was it worth it?

I knew you were trouble.

the age of princesses and pirate ships

Your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard.

I know places we won’t be found.

It’s brighter now.

Everybody here was someone else before.

I think he can see through everything but my heart.

until you come back home

Devils roll the dice.

Don't you dream impossible things?

if you say it with your hands

I don't know how to be something you miss.

built to fall apart

You've got your demons and they all look like me.

You're my Achilles' heel.

on the other side of the door

this big wide city all to ourselves

Everything I need is right here by my side.

I could show you incredible things.

the hands of fate

#with a focus on her earlier work because I am a geriatric Swiftie #also I feel like folklore & evermore get plenty of representation in prompt lists #prompt list #writing prompts #taylor swift prompt list #I threatened to do this and now here I am; a real cinderella story #long post

love is patient and kind

please don’t take this post seriously, since this is a shitpost.

but have headcanons for hotd cast if they were your love interest in a rom com. and you were in a rom com. (i am also name dropping certain movies in this list. they may not all be rom coms particularly but the films have some romantic elements at least)

ser criston cole

the princess bride

you were about to wedded off to a cruel prince, a prince who acted nothing like the man you fell in love with. criston was his name and he was a mere stable boy who worked for your family. despite your attitude, all he would do is smile and yes, “as you wish.” his gentleness and kindness eventually led you to opening up to him and developing a romance. he set off on a journey one morning, and you ordered him to come back. he simply smiled and told you, “as you wish.” and yet, he did not return for years. you wallowed in despair, becoming a shell of yourself when you became engaged to the prince. and then, one day, you find yourself kidnapped. and a man pursues you and your kidnappers. he’s mysterious, dressed in all black, and supposedly the dread pirate. but it is only until after you resist his attempts to take you to safety do you realize who he was. and when you reach that bottom of the hill, you cup criston’s face and cry, believing you had lost him forever.

“do not cry, my liege. i am alive and have been for the past few years. and all i have done is find my journey home, to you.”

daemon targaryen

grease

a bad boy, a good girl, one musical. the classic musical. you spend a summer with a charming boy who has quite the sensitive side. you tell him at the end that you are going home, but it seems your parents had a change of plans. and when you enter the local school, there he is: daemon targaryen. except he’s nothing like the daemon you know, because he’s a bit of an asshole and it breaks your heart. it hurts him that he has broken your heart and he comes to a realization that he wants you. so what does he do? try to clean himself up. join a team sport (even though he believes he is above team sports). even wins a car race. the school year is a whirlwind and by the end, he has that varsity sweater. but he’s even more surprised to see you, changed, with a new persona that matches his old one. the two of you meet in the middle in a fun musical number before you two drive off into the distance, the summer ahead of you.

“i have had many partners, but none of them as stunning as you (y/n). and in truth, this is what my heart wants. dare i say, i am hopelessly devoted to you.”

rhaenyra targaryen

10 things i hate about you

rhaenyra targaryen. considered one of the most undateable girls at school. and you, considered the baddest kind of badass there is. you could care less about school considering you had other concerns that were more dire than grades and reputation and rumors of you having spent the last year in prison. however, rhaenyra’s brother baelon desperately wants to date someone. and her best friend alicent has the best idea: get you to date rhaenyra. it’s pretty simple, aside from the fact that rhaenyra is very standoffish and spurns you every chance you try to talk to her. it isn’t until you take care of her after a party that she begins to open up to you. and while it is a paid arrangement, you end up enjoying your time with her. and even, dare i say, fall in love. it seems you and rhaenyra were meant to be. except for the fact that at prom, it’s revealed that you were a paid arrangement with her. naturally, she is extremely upset, even dedicating an emotionally powerful poem to how you broke her heart. but you’re not willing to give up. no, giving up is for the old you, who wasn’t in love with rhaenyra. you were in love with her and you would approach her with a proper apology and something she really wanted.

“you know, you can’t just apologize with a guitar every time you do something shitty. apologies don’t work like that. but i guess for you, i can make an exception.”

alicent hightower

mamma mia!

helaena is getting married! and she does not know who her dad is. so naturally, as one does, she just invites three particular people her mother wrote about in her diary. she keeps you a secret, much to your surprise since the invitation said your old lover had invited you. and you’re confused. but then, alicent falls through a latch in the room, into the room. and her eyes light up when she sees you. but! alas, she has a wedding plan. so she spends a lot of time away, giving you glances now and again. and it isn’t until you’re able to get her in private where you two talk and catch up. she reveals she’s still not over how you left, and you tell her the same, having wanted to stay but leaving due to family obligations and that your family did not exactly approve of alicent. that spark between you two gets reignited and helaena’s wedding suddenly is not helaena’s at all/

“i’d never thought i would see you again (y/n). but i’m not mad that you’re here. in fact, part of me is quite ecstatic that you have decided to attend my daughter’s wedding.”

aegon targaryen

crazy rich asians

you don’t know much about your boyfriend’s family history. every time you try to bring it up, he avoids the question and redirects you to something else. but he can no longer escape it when he gets an invitation to his best friend’s wedding. you are genuinely shocked to find out that your boyfriend...is beyond crazy rich. except, he’s never enjoyed it. in fact, he’s always loathed his family and the spotlight they were given. his life has always been dictated for him so when he had the chance to go away, he did. and that was when he met you, the first person who did not know who he was, nor care. he fell for you right then and there. but when you go back to his home, you are faced with an even greater challenge: risk tearing aegon away from his family or lose him. his mother, especially, does not approve of you. and you are unsure if you would be able to survive this new world that is out to tear you apart.

“i am not saying i am walking away entirely. i am just weighing my options. and one thing is for certain, i want to marry (y/n).”

aemond targaryen

my big fat greek wedding

your family is a little...traditional. and they’re quite loud. and very insistence on you getting married. doesn’t matter who. just someone, anyone! of course, when there is a man who catches your attention, you embarass yourself in front of him. but he remembers you and finds you quite charming. that moment gets pushed to the back of your head as you begin taking classes at your local college and changing things up. you begin to do your hair differently, learn how to do your makeup, dress to your liking. and soon enough, you’re running your aunt’s business with the new skills you acquired. and captured by your beauty in the window is that same man who you embarrassed yourself in front of. you come to find that his name is aemond and he’s not exactly...someone your father would approve of. his traditions do not match yours. but that’s okay. because aemond doesn’t mind. he takes you on dates and you two develop a deep connection. and when he asks you to marry him, you’re filled with glee and worry. your worry mostly pertains to how your family will take the news. and then it evolves into how your family takes control of the wedding plans.

“i do not mind doing any of these things. i love you (y/n). and i really want to marry you and respect your traditions. you come from family that is proud of their traditions and lineages. the least i can do when i marry you is participate in them to honor you and your ancestors.”

helaena targaryen

she’s all that

helaena targaryen is known as a girl who is awkward and prefers the company of bugs over humans. in fact, her affinity for bugs has a lot of people avoiding her and teasing her. she could care less about what they think. but you? you have a reputation to uphold. and your partner dumped you for someone just as shallow as you. so to save your reputation and ego, your friend proposes a bet: make helaena targaryen prom queen. you like some competition and a challenge, so you accept it. after all, there was a lot of money at stake (happens when you end up going to a school full of rich kids). your attempts to approach helaena fail as she turns around whenever you approach her. but she is soon forced to talk to you when you get paired together in your lab. you come to learn that she is very smart, and very observant. but also, that she has a gentle side to her. you guys don’t finish your lab so you have to meet with her later. and when you scream upon seeing a spider in your room, she just cups them and releases them after opening your window. she tells you there is nothing to worry about. and when she smiles, your heart skips a beat. oh great heavens! could you actually be falling for this girl? helaena targaryen? the weirdest girl at school? it was part of your bet after all. but as you continue spending time with her, the guilt keeps eating you up. you were leading her on and for what?

“so i was a bet? i was a fucking bet! unbelievable! i don’t know what i expected from you. my own brother thought i was strange and he laughed when i told him that someone had finally taken interest! but i guess it was all a lie, huh?”

always be my maybe

jace’s parents were never home, so he came over to your place often for food. and he learned great culinary secrets from your mother. she was basically a surrogate for his own mom because she wasn’t around often. and this made you two best friends. you guys were so close that it was hard to imagine you two not together. but eventually, that happened. because when your mom passed away, you felt an overwhelming sense of grief. nothing could describe what it felt like losing your mother. and one night, during a particularly rough episode, you and jace just...do it. you guys hook up. and the mcdonald’s trip afterwards is awkward. especially because he claims to know how you feel when he doesn’t. your mom wasn’t his mom. and the visible hurt on his face afterwards left a simmering guilt inside of you. now, years later, jace comes back to his hometown. he’s ready to open a new restaurant, since he’s a celebrity chef, and needs some new inspiration for his next one. getting back to his roots would be the first step. and when he calls someone to fix his air conditioning, he sees you. you’re still you, working for your father’s company. but unlike him, you have not managed to have much success in your creative endeavors. but you are childhood friends, so out of courtesy, he asks to meet up with you. and perhaps all that chemistry from when you were younger is still there.

“ha ha, very funny (y/n). my new restaurant has a bit of a rustic charm to it. elevated food has its appeal, i promise. come around sometime and i will show you....what do you mean you’re not interested in tasting my food?”

List of Your Ten Childhood Ships

Thanks @lizzybeth1986 for tagging me. So I’m counting childhood as “before high school” so up until spring of 1997. I am an 80s baby, who was a 90s child (and a 90s/00s teenager, but that is a list for another time).

1. Zack and Kelly, Saved by the Bell

Saved by the Bell was one of my favourite shows in my tweens and I had a big crush on Zack Morris (yeah, he was blonde but the cocky, scheming type has always had appeal). I loved Zack and Kelly together and consistently rooted for them.

2. Jake and Tiffany, California Dreams

I watched a lot of Teen NBC when I was young 😂 and of course I liked the leather-jacket, motor-cycle wearing musician and his cute blonde surfer girlfriend. I feel like Jake Summers had a major impact on my taste for the rest of my life.

3. Lir and Amalthea, The Last Unicorn

This movie broke my heart at the age of 4. I always joke that this is what made me a villain lover, because I hated how Lir being a hero meant he had to give up Amalthea and let her save the unicorns 😂.

4. Sony and Brenda, General Hospital

I grew up watching soap operas, mainly General Hospital because it is the one my grandmother and then my mom watched. While Sonny and Brenda definitely influenced my teen ships years, they also influenced the pre-teen years and ai couldn’t resist this combo. “Why settle for a spark when you can set the world on fire?”

5. Anne and Gilbert, Anne of Green Gables

I am a Canadian girl, I grew up on the Anne books and I fell in love early with the spirited Anne Shirley and the incredibly patient (but not pushy) Gilbert Blythe. I love their love story.

6. Elizabeth Wakefield and Todd Wilkins, Sweet Falley High

This one did not hold up 😂 and the series itself did a good job of murdering this ship, but when I was a kid I loved them together and the one where he comes back after moving was my favorite. I remember I even specially ordered it because our local book story didn’t have it and neither did the library.

7. Cher and Josh, Clueless

I love Clueless, it is one of my all-time favorite movies and definitely influenced pre-teen Misha. Is the step-sibling romance a little weird? Yep. But at the time, all I cared about was the chemistry and that Paul Rudd was cute.

8. Westley and Buttercup, The Princess Bride

Again, I was an 80s child. I grew up on this movie. This is what true love was. And ok, the fact that the far:boy went off and became a bad-ass pirate was pretty cool.

9. Xena and Ares, Xena Warrior Princess

This is one that also falls into “high school” ships, but I started watching the show in elementary school, so it counts. I fell in love with Ares the first time he appeared, when he was very obviously the bad guy.

10. Sabrina and Harvey, Sabrina the Teenage Witch

I just thought these two were so sweet together (see I have layers, I like sweet ships too) and I liked that the obstacle in their relationship was never their feelings, it was everything else and Harvey was just such a perfect first boyfriend.

Honorable Mention: Blossom and Vinnie, Blossom

👻, 🥳, and 💌 please!

Thank you!

👻 What is your wildest headcanon?

Me deciding that Chateau de Peyrol is ridiculously haunted has to be somewhere up on the list -- no canon evidence to support it, but I like to think of Lazare being totally oblivious to his house being a setting from a gothic novel while Ronan is constantly going "Lazare. Lazare. The portrait is staring at me, Lazare."

Lazare secretly loving gossip is based purely on that one moment in the French production when Louis and Marie's marriage is breaking down in front of everyone and Lazare IMMEDIATELY comes in to tell Louis that, by the way, there's a full-on revolt. It's not AS out of pocket, but it is definitely leaning on the cracky side of things, but it also is always funny to have a Lazare who is very critical of the hypocrisy of Versailles, the shallow obsession with gossip, the backstabbing, the intrigues...while he is actively dying on his country estate because he can't get all the hot gossip.

For my Irish mythological things, I decided at some point that the Fomoiri, aka the notoriously terrifying group of people that have been, at various points, described (not by me) as demonic sea monsters who represent pure chaos and destruction, as well as representing various Scandinavian invaders, go out for karaoke once a month as a team building exercise. Themed nights have included ABBA, Britney Spears, Disney, and Taylor Swift. Manannán mac Lir, who is on the other side, gets privileges to come along because he's best friends with Tethra (for Disney night, they did a duet version of "Under the Sea"). They also do a Eurovision watch party once a year, where they root for their various countries of origin (Bres, since he's half Irish and half Norwegian, will root for whoever seems to be winning, going for the UK when he's depressed with both. He might or might not have been culpable for Dustin the Turkey's appearance, which is objectively the most heinous thing he's done.)

🥳 Why did you start writing fanfic?

The very first things I wrote were what I would later recognize were self insert fanfics, where me and my various OCs based on my toys would go into various films and books I was reading to save the day. The Mummy, Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Lord of the Rings were the favorites back in the day (which...really highlights the kind of kid I was), when I was about 5-8. Fanfic, in some form or another, is a natural part of who I am. If I didn't write it, I'd suffocate.

💌 Is there a favorite trope you like to write?

I have been roundly mocked for my tendency to use Significant Chess Games in my fanfic -- you can make a bingo card off of it. In my defense, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

On a broader scale...it's interesting because when I was younger, I was more inclined to say that I was writing redemption arcs or enemies to lovers arcs, and I think, to some extent, that holds true, but to other extents, there's a lot more in terms of shades of gray -- I work with characters who are at odds with one another for one reason or another and then get them to a point of, frankly, dangerous codependency, and let the dice fall where they may as far as whether it's truly a case of "redemption" or "corruption" or just "becoming increasingly tired over time." Is Ronan a traitor to the revolution for marrying Lazare? Is Margrid betraying some part of who she is by falling in love with Orléans? Would Emma be betraying something if she joined the Tango Korrupti? Is Kitrye betraying her sense of morality by falling in love with Raphael and, honestly, vice versa? I don't know -- I can see why they're irredeemable to some people, no one *has* to forgive the villainous characters for doing villainous things, or the heroic characters for falling for the villainous characters, and I'm not particularly interested in that side of things, but I can also understand exactly why they refuse to give up or compromise, too. That's a very broad arc, but it's definitely a question that I'm always returning to. "The horror was for love" and all that.

[Book One of Four]

Story: 4 out of 5 Smut: 4 out of 5

Wow. Really, just wow.

Kage really went and fell for his mark, huh? Turned the vanilla, never gonna find love again woman into a woman who craved every dark tendency he showed her.

I loved the suspense and mystery of it all. And let’s not forget the humor. Gotta love Sloane and her worry for her best friend’s love life.

This book really kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering and waiting for the other shoe to drop. And boy did it drop. It kind of broke my heart a little too. I loved that Natalie got her answers and came to terms with her love for Kage. I really hope these two pop up in the other books. I need to know how Natalie takes to ruling by Kage’s side.

Now enjoy my rambling thoughts…

* That breakup 😂 How’s the dude gonna be pissed when he’s the one breaking up with her? Insecure much? 😂

* I want the hot pirate with big dick energy. Sounds hot lmao

* “Sorry, Princess. If you’re looking for a knight in shining armor, you’re looking in the wrong fucking place.” — well, now I’m interested.

* Kage doesn’t like to break beautiful things? Wtf was he sent to do to Natalie?!

* Scary Kage just saw Natalie in her wedding dress and said it doesn’t suit her 🤦🏻‍♀️ That she’s beautiful but it has nothing to do with the dress. My fucking heart can’t handle this man rn.

* “I need to kiss you.” // “No.” // “Then come sit on my lap and let me finger fuck you while I feed you dinner.” — HOLY SHIT 🥵😂

* Sheriff Douche wants a second chance and was manhandling Natalie? Oh hell no. Thank god for Kage.

* Holy shit. He was sent to kill her?!

* Natalie has some amazing self control. How did she not fuck him on that table?!?!

* Jesus… this man is intense.

* Holy hell this man can kiss lol. How is she not taking him to bed asap?!

* “I’ll have to make you fall in love with me before I tell you all my darkest secrets.” // “Oh yeah? Why’s that?” // “So you won’t leave me… even though you’ll want to.” — fuckkkkk.

* Second in command to the Russian mafia. Surprisingly, I’m not turned off lmao. He said he was not a good man 🤷🏻‍♀️

* Her orgasmic bliss would be ruined by gunfire. What a bunch of cock blocks.

* After everything she had him take her to bed. So much for going on two dates before giving it up 😂

* Jesus. He fucked the shit out of her. And she still doesn’t know he was sent to kill her. The angst is gonna be angsting. And if her missing fiancé pops up, I’m gonna be pissed.

* And now Kage has found the sex toy drawer. I can’t 😂

* I love that Natalie is going through a rebirth and it’s dark… 😏

* Holy shit… so the fiancé was killed? At least that’s how Kage made it seem. I hope so.

* “My life doesn’t belong to me, do you understand? I made a vow. I took an oath and sealed it with blood. The Bratva is my family. The Brotherhood is my life. And there’s no way out of it. Blood in, no out. Not ever. Not even for love.” — and now my heart is broken.

* Oh shit. His boss is in charge of who he married and it’ll never be Natalie because he was supposed to kill her 😬 This whole relationship is a clusterfuck.

* Yikes. Someone’s stalking Natalie and she thinks it’s her ex… but girl! You’re dating a Russian mobster. It’s definitely one of his enemies.

* I FUCKING CALLED IT! And now Kage’s boss knows Kage disobeyed him, and he put a hit out on both Natalie and Kage, and FUCKKKKK!

* Oh goddammit. The dead fiancé isn’t as dead as we all thought and his name isn’t even David! Wtf.

* Holy fuck. She went after the missing fiancé..? Kage is gonna go ballistic because she left him and isn’t answering his calls or texts.

* They made up. Oh thank god.

* Kage is the boss man now. Hot damn.

* She wants his babies and he wants her to marry him. Oh my god!!!!

* Lmfao. Of course Sloane would be kidnapped. She’s gonna fall for her kidnapper, isn’t she? 😂

No one asked, but I really wanted to answer it!

Ask game.

3 - 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

And I actually have 4 so... Here we go!

Treasure Planet. So underrated, which is totally unfair. Beautiful story and one of the few (if not only) Disney movies that don't have a love interest for the MC. It's all about growing up and finding yourself and found family. In fact, just realized, Jim is like Stag in that regard. Both were abandoned at a young age by their fathers and became rebellious to the point of being impossible to deal with until their father figure came into their life. And also, never having a father of my own to look up to, this really resonates with me. Haha, Deshi's dad left him at a young age too. I'm sensing a theme. 😆 Unlike Stag though, Deshi doesn't need a father figure in the sense that he's not looking for one nor does he find one. (Although Lord Carroll does get close...)

Sinbad, another underrated film. By Dreamworks this time. The most alluring part of this film:

That fucking hair!!! Man, I could just watch how her hair flows forever. Like, nobody has ever made hair that moves like this before, or since! It's close to underwater hair, but not quite, so Little Mermaid doesn't count. But seriously, that fucking hair. And Sinbad is pretty funny. 😆 Most quoted scene between Deo and I, a dude gets thrown up by a sea monster, shakes it off, and goes to attack again. "Give that guy a raise." -Sinbad Yes, please. He deserves it. 😀👍

Anastasia. I loved this movie growing up. Rasputin what such a terrifying bad guy, and Anastasia was anything but weak. Despite it not being a Disney flick at the time, it broke the mold on Disney princesses. Tangled and Frozen hadn't come out yet and Anastasia was the only princess to do what she wants, when she wants, how she wants. Instead of the man saving her from some evil villain, he saves her in the very beginning from a threat to the royal family. And then she saves herself from Rasputin at the end. Well, and Dimitri, because, you know, he was hanging off a bridge. So many movies before this were misogynistic and so many after are so feminist that they really diss on males, but in Anastasia, they are equals simply facing the world together, and to me, that's just beautiful. And this:

And last but not least, A Little Princess. This is an older movie about a girl whose father travels the world. These two have a close bond and one day, he has to leave her because he needs to fight in a war, and over night, she becomes orphaned at a boarding school, so she becomes enslaved to the headmistress. Even after such tragedy struck her, she still believed in magic and told stories to the other girls. There was always this sort of mystery to her. Where others saw color, she found friends. Where others saw weakness, she saw opportunity. She's kind throughout the entire thing, and so much bad is thrown at her! Annie, eat your heart out and make way for A Little Princess. She always believes that magic is real, and when she falls, she gets back up again, even though sometimes it takes a little time. She's patient and accepting and just everything little girls everywhere should aspire to be. And in the end, she gets the honor of seeing that if you keep believing, the magic is real.

And those are my favorite films I could watch over and over again. ^^ I'm curious, how many have you seen of these? I feel like they're all a little underrated, outshined by other movies at the time. Poor Sinbad had to fight with Pirates of the Caribbean. A Little Princess got overrun by Pocahontas and Toy Story. Lilo and Stitch came out the same time as Treasure Planet. Anastasia isn't as underrated as the others. 😅 If you haven't seen one of these, highly recommend. I mean, I'd be okay watching them on repeat, so, yeah. Thanks for reading! And I'm still open for some personal asks if anyone's interested. ^^ And I'm totally willing to redo 9, since the last one was so entertaining. Fair warning though, that was probably my best story, lol. Have a good day!

Hi! Can I request genderbend Mindfand with a female cobalt blood reader. It's in a universe where trolls reproduce like humans and ancestors are the troll word for "parents" (so he's the father of Vriska and Aranea).

Reader is very lady like, good mannered but is a tsudere and has a strong character, and Mindfang is, well, Mindfang.

Little Vriska and her big sister Aranea ask reader how they met, and she explains that he was a young pirate and her a lady of a aristocratic family of cobalt boold. He fell for her so hard that he tried to seduce her every time he could and that, since her parents wanted to marry her to a man she dislike, agreed to run away with him and she eventually fell for him and marry him.

Mindfang come in the room at this moment and tells the truth: Reader ran away from her engagement party, her heel broke twisting her foot, he heard her cry, found her crying in a cove near her broken high heels, they talk, she said that she wanted to live a life of adventures, he took her on his ship, she tried to seduce him but in her clumsy tsudere way, he found it so cute that he played along, she was a blushing mess, he kissed her, they got together, he proposed, she accepted, they had adult time, first Aranea, then Vriska, the end.

Reader is so flustered that she try to hit him, but he takes her princess style and kiss her, finishing her by making her a blushing, embarrassed mess in front of their daughters.

Thank!

♏️ Male!Marquise Spinneret Mindfang x indigoblood fem!Reader headcanons Dating story 🦾

You and Mindfang have been living together for a long time and raising your two children. Quite often your daughters asked you a lot of questions and one day the girls asked you about how you met their father. That question made you smile softly. You sometimes remembered this story and were happy to tell it to your daughters

You told them about how their father was in love with you and often flirted with you, trying to seduce you, but you were from an aristocratic family so you could not afford such a relationship. However, when your parents decided that it was time for you to get married, but you were against this marriage. That's why when Mindfang once again offered you to run away with him, you agreed, wanting freedom. It took you a while to fall in love with him but eventually you were together

Your story was interrupted by laughter. It was Mindfang. He had been listening to what you were telling your daughters for some time, but he could no longer hold back his laughter. Your story was very different from what he remembered, and he hastened to remind you of it. He couldn't refuse his daughters when they hurriedly started asking him to tell his version of events, despite your embarrassed expression

Mindfang told your daughters about how he met you all alone in the cove. You sat and cried. You had a twisted leg and your shoe with a broken heel was lying next to it. Then he came up to you and asked what happened to you. You told him that you dreamed of freedom and adventure. He could not deny you this desire of yours. He took you on a ship and you became part of his crew. Several times you tried to seduce him in your special aristocratic and clumsy manner. He couldn't resist playing along, embarrassing you. It is thanks to this that your relationship has become more serious, even to the point that you already had two children

When he finished his version of the story, you were very confused and tried to hit him, but he easily intercepted your hand, smiling charmingly at you. Mindfang knew perfectly well how to embarrass you and he couldn't help but make it even stronger. He leaned over and kissed you, gently hugging your waist while your daughters looked at you. When he pulled away, you were even more confused, trying to mumble something, hurriedly covering your face with your hands, which caused his soft and gentle laughter. He was sincerely glad that he found you in that cove then

There, Clarke Griffin arranges beautiful destination weddings for people from all over the galaxy, every detail provided for, right down to the spouse. Her AI-driven system has turned the ancient art of matchmaking into a commercialized, mechanized, streamlined, and extremely successful, enterprise.

Octavia’s already found and lost the great love of her life. She’s not looking to love again. But an accident, a chance meeting, and a high-stakes bet change all of her plans. Now she’ll either find her match, or spend years of her life providing fairy tales for others, while she proves that chemistry, passion, and spark can never be forced into being by a machine.

—

Octavia says I do.

Lexa is content in her life just the way it is, until a so called “perfect match” on her friend’s matchmaking service promises to help the people she cares most about in the world. The only catch is she has to marry a perfect stranger. But Lexa can do just about anything, if it helps her friends, and there’s no way she will fall in love. Right?

come morning light - don't leave me here alone (Rated M) [Chronicles of Narnia - Susan/Caspian]

Seven years ago, Susan and her siblings were sent away from a war to the safety of the country side only to be thrust into another war. As the years wear on, their soldiers return from battle fewer and fewer in number, and the graves multiply overnight.

Running out of options and manpower, their last chance is proposing an alliance with the King of Telmar, a kingdom seemly just barely allied with the Witch and itching to get out from under her power.

Susan walks into the meeting with the King with Edmund at her side and little hope left in her heart, and leaves with an alliance that could turn the tide of the war - and a husband.

Dragons and Alicorns and Political Weddings - Chapter Three (Rated T) [My Little Pony - Princess Ember/Twilight Sparkle]

In order to better relations with the Dragon Lands, Twilight has been arranged to marry the current dragon lord, Ember. With her friends by her side, she’s excited for the big day, even if she’s nervous at the prospect of not meeting her fiancee yet. When she finally does, things seem to go well, spurning on her excitement.

At least, going well for now.

I figured I should probably put something up about what verses I have; some fandoms/muses will have their own separate verses and those will be listed in their separate info pages- these however are verses that apply to all of my muses. All of the ones after rewind time came from the Discord server I co-own with my two lovely best friends ❤️ I am giving examples for the au's we have in the server but there are endless possibilities for all of them-

Main; semi-canon to whatever fandom the muse is from, also the default verse I use.

Crossover; A verse for whenever I'm putting my muses into another universe; which some of these will get separate verse names as time goes on but again for now this is the default.

Rewind Time; A past verse, so this is for anything that has happened before the final/last season/movie of whatever fandom the muse is from, also just their past in general.

Bad Blood; A revenge au; for example, someone has unalived the love of your life, or just someone you care deeply for, family, friends, etc and you are planning on going after them.

Born To Be A Rockstar; A rockstar au; alternatively a band name; for example, in the discord server we have Natasha, Brook (genderbent Bucky) and Steph (genderbent Steve) and the band/AU is called “On The Run”

Breakups; A very angst centered au for couples (has a bomb Spotify playlist btw); for example, one couple broke up from cheating, and another broke up after someone was hurt in an attempt to protect them from being hurt farther.

A Royal’s Secret; A royalty au; a knight falls in love with the princess even though she is to be married to someone else- also, peasant x royal/knight, etc

A Greek Tragedy; A Greek au; a God falls in love with his brother's best friend and his brother feels betrayed (this is au in the server is with Klaus Mikaelson if that is not already obvious lmao)- also human x God, etc

Chains & Flowers; A biker au; a once all-powerful biker gang that had two co-leaders is now two separate gangs after the co-leaders had a falling out. Some of the bikers also fall in love with the "sweet, innocent" diner girls, and some of them also fall in love with members of the rival gang.

Guiding You To Me; A soulmate au; after going to a bar called Cupid's Nest (owned by my cupid oc, Valentina) with a notorious reputation for helping people find their soulmate, a mysterious tattoo appears on your body. Alternatively; the red string of fate, first words said to each other, etc

The Love Game; A “whoever falls in love first loses” au; members from a frat and sorority to decide to have a competition, pairing up- the winner of each pair gets whatever they want, and the loser has to wear a shirt around campus that says, "I fell first.." (something super cute for this; the other person shows up in a shirt that says "but I fell second")

The Captain’s Curse; A pirate/siren/mermaid au; two rival pirate crews make their way to a faraway island where an old Captain buried his treasure, upon setting foot on the island however they find themselves to be trapped. There also happens to be mermaids/sirens inhabiting/protecting the island.

Finding Love In A Hopeless Place; A fake dating au; two best friends decide to fake date in attempt to make the one friend's crush notice them, however they are unaware that their friend has a crush on them. Slowly but surely the two start to fall for one another.

draco fucks reader in a corset bc he got turned on how it pushed her boobs up?

this is mostly smut so don’t expect much of a plot. also i fucking hate this but let’s go😋

warnings: breeding kink (?), titty sucking, kinda rough sex, praise kink

———

“should i go as a pirate?” you questioned, tilting your head to the side slightly.

draco paused, imagining how you would look like entering the halloween party as a pretty pirate and smirked. “that’s an amazing idea baby girl” he responded, leaning forward to kiss your cheek.

——

“so- what do you think?” you said, giving a small twirl for your boyfriend who was sitting down on the bed in front of you, mouth slightly agape as he eyed your outfit; which consisted of a small black skirt, boots, white collared shirt that had the first few buttons undone, and a corset that accentuated your curves.

draco stood up, towering over you as he placed his hands on your waist, grey bright eyes feasting on your body.

“baby you look beautiful” he murmured, lust slowly clouding his mind as he saw you making a path to the mirror, eyeing your own attire with slight hesitation.

“you don’t think it’s too much?” you asked, hands roaming your waist unconsciously.

“i think it’s perfect.” breathed draco, positioning himself behind you and wrapping an arm around your waist, grabbing your jaw with the other and tilting it up so you were staring up at him.

“you don’t know what you do to me” he growled prior to clashing your lips together, catching you off guard at first but relaxing into the kiss after a few seconds.

the kiss quickly escalated as his tongue pressed down on yours, his hand that was on your waist sneaking up to trace your pushed-up cleavage.

you gave a small whimper in his mouth when he abruptly turned you to face him, his hands now roaming down to feel your ass.

you broke apart from the kiss, both with glossy and swollen lips. draco took a mere second to admire you before he was guiding you backwards towards the desk that stood at the corner of the room, his forehead connected with yours, sharing the same breath.

once he perched your bum on top of the desk, he reached behind your back, grabbing ahold of the corset’s strings, undoing them and tossing the material out of sight, your soft mounds that had a slight tint of red to them, due to the tightness of the corset making his mouth water.

draco gave a small hum before kissing you again, biting your bottom lip playfully as his hand made its way to your pooling heat after bunching your skirt up at the waist.

he lightly rubbed your clit over the damp lace, causing you to release a small moan on his mouth. he wasted no time and completely ripped them off, immediately sinking his finger inside you.

you gave a soft cry against his lips, disconnecting from them and staring up at him. “take off your shirt” he demanded sternly, two fingers now pumping in and out of you.

you did as asked with shaky hands, letting the material pool around your wrists as you leaned back on your hands, watching intently as your boyfriend’s fingers sank all the way inside you, the pad of his thumb flicking over your clit.

“fuck draco” you heaved, throwing your head back whilst draco leaned forward, attaching his mouth to your nipples.

the soft cushion of his lips against your sensitive skin in addition to the fast pounding of his fingers had you letting out a pornographic moan, one that had draco’s cock twitching on his trousers.

“i fucking love stretching this pussy out” he groaned against you, moving his lips to your other breast, his digits making scissoring motions inside you.

your hips involuntarily bucked up as you wailed in complete bliss, the blonde’s thumb quickening its pace on your throbbing clit, causing your thighs to shake. the delicious orgasm about to hit you- and then he pulled his fingers out.

a sadistic smirk adorned his sharp features as you whined, an angry huff thrown in his direction.

“oh don’t be such a brat, i just want to make you cum on my cock, not my fingers” he purred, shaking his head in a teasing manner, making a quick work of lowering his trousers, enough to free his pulsating cock.

you reached forward to give him a few pumps with eager movements, watching as he threw his head back. “just like that princess” he hummed.

your hand gave a few more lewd strokes against his prick before he removed your hand, brushing a strand of hair back from your face whilst he slowly plummeted himself inside you.

a moan ripped through you as he entered you, and you silently thanked for the thick walls of the castle. his eyes settled on yours while his cock was getting swallowed by the wet warmth mess on your cunt. “oh fuck- you’re so tight” he grunted, rocking his hips into yours sensually.

he waited a few moments for you to become accustomed to the stretch before settling on a fast pace, making the desk rattle underneath you.

“taking me so well, baby” he rasped out, hands on your bum as he pounded inside you, bringing himself forward until your noses were touching.

“ah! fuck draco!” you cried out, feeling the tip of his cock reach that spongy spot inside you. the filthy sounds of wet skin slapping and both of your moans resonating throughout the four walls only turned you both on further.

“who’s my best girl, huh?” taunted draco, fastening his pace while looking down at your bouncing breasts. “i am!” you squeaked, his thumb connecting to your clit once again.

“that’s right baby, this sweet pussy is gonna take all of cum, isn’t it princess?” he teased, taking advantage of your foggy mind and blabbering. things now falling from the hard wood underneath you.

“uh-huh, want you to fill me up” you agreed, the coil inside you about to snap when he quickened his pace, guttural moans escaping his own lips at your choice of words.

“yes baby, i’m gonna have this pretty cunt leaking with my cum” he said through gritted teeth, not slowing his hips once.

“oh fuck, are you gonna cum for me sweetheart?”

“yes! i’m gonna cum” you sobbed, thrusting your hips up before letting your muscles relax, your eyes rolling into the back of your head as you came, draco right behind you and spraying your walls with his hot cum.

draco stilled inside you, your pussy fluttering around him, milking his cock dry.

his vision was still trained on your face, observing how you rode out of your high, falling forward into his chest. he removed his thumb from your clit, slowly pulling out and watching how your pussy spilled your arousal out onto the now squeaky desk.

you felt absolutely spent, not even catching up on the sweet praises draco murmured in your ear as he carried you to the bathroom, though you were able to catch something about corsets and how good they look on you.

Previous / Masterlist / Next

A/N: it's a miracle, i finally updated this fic, it's only been almost a year KJHGHJKJH unfortunately, it is bittersweet as this is actually the final chapter of horizon ! i know, i said we had a few more chapters left but as i wrote it just felt more fitting to have it end here rather than dragging it out. but worry not, because (as opposed to my original plans) i DO plan on making a sequel ! not only that, but i have a little something else in store in regards to horizon so we're not done yet! ;) however, i Do want to focus more on other stories first before anything else, as a bit of a break so to speak (even though technically i just took one but you know what i mean) for now, i hope this chapter was worth the wait, and i hope you enjoy the Final chapter of Horizon !!

TW: child abuse, references to sex (it's literally the morning after so i mean)

The night passed, and slowly, you began to wake up from the deep sleep you had been in, trying to wipe the sleep from your eyes. You furrowed your brows in confusion, trying to gather your bearings, before memories of the night before slowly returned and you realized very quickly that you were still bare underneath the covers. Feeling you stir, Hongjoong, who was in quite the same state as you, wrapped his arms around you tighter, your back to his chest.

“Are you awake already?” He asked softly, his voice barely above a whisper but still filled with amusement, “It’s not even dawn yet, I thought I thoroughly tired you out.”

Thankful that he couldn’t see your flustered expression, you replied, “That makes it seem that you’ve been up all night, Kim Hongjoong. At least I would’ve gotten some rest.”

Chuckling, he leaned his head down so that his chin laid in the crook of your neck, “I woke up not too long before you. It seems we both are still a bit restless from last night’s events.”

“It appears so,” You giggled yourself, holding onto his hands as the two of you just laid in the bed.

“I didn’t hurt you, did I?” Hongjoong suddenly asked after a bit of silence, “I know that was your first, I hope it wasn’t too much for you…”

Turning to face him, you placed a hand on his face, “It was perfect, Hongjoong. I might be a bit sore, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. I couldn’t imagine it going any other way.”

“Thank god,” He sighed in relief, placing his hand on yours, “The last thing I want to do is hurt you.”

“You could never hurt me,” You assured, leaning your head on his chest, the two of you falling back into a comfortable silence. Time seemed to pass by slowly as you both laid there, Hongjoong tracing random patterns on your back as you just held onto him tightly.

Softly, Hongjoong once again broke the silence as he spoke up, “You know, all I can keep thinking about is how happy I am right now, to have you here, with me.”

“You mean naked in your bed?” You snorted, teasing him slightly.

“No, though I certainly am happy about that as well,” He let a small smirk show on his face, giving you a kiss on the top of your head, “Just… to have you near me. To be able to hold you, and tell you how much I love you knowing that you feel the same way. I truly don’t think I’ve ever been happier in my life than right now.”

“I feel the same way,” You smiled at him, “All I can think is how much I love you, and how perfect this feels. I’m so, incredibly happy right now, Hongjoong, you have no idea.”

“I believe I have some idea,” He responded, leaning his head down to give you a small kiss on the lips. Unlike the ones from last night, which were filled with passion and desperation, this one was lighthearted, clearly just meant to show his love for you.

Pulling away, you kept your smile at him, “Who would’ve guessed that a princess would end up falling for a pirate? Well, former princess, I should say.”

“No,” He shook his head, “I know you don’t like it, but you’re still a princess to me. You’re my princess, and one day, you’ll be my queen. I am the Pirate King, after all, you’re really just trading in one crown for another.”

You laughed a bit, trying to ignore the fluttering feeling his words gave you, before reality began to set in again, “That is, unless we don’t make it past the war…”

“We will,” Hongjoong grabbed your chin, lifting your head so you could look at him, “I know I had my own doubts, but now… I just know it to be true, we’ll both live past the war. We’ve made it too far only to die now.”

“I know, I know, but it’s hard to ignore that the worst could happen,” You pointed out, “I don’t want to set my expectations too high only to get my heart broken.”

“Don’t you worry about that,” He shook his head, “Just focus on right now, alright? Look.” He gestured outside the window, turning you so you could see the sun beginning to peak out. “You remind me a lot of a horizon, you know. No matter how many things bring you down, or how dark things seem to be, you always rise above it, radiant and stunning while doing it. Being quite honest, I almost fear for your parents, having to go against you in this war. I have no doubt in my mind we’ll make it.”

You stared out the window for a bit before turning back to him, smiling, “There you go again, always managing to say just the right thing to help me feel better. It’s a talent, truly.”

“Well, I’d say this is one talent worth having,” He laughed, holding you tighter to him, “Now, come on. Let’s rest a bit more before the others wake up, the sun’s only barely risen. I want to keep you to myself for a little while longer.” You agreed to his request, laying your head on his chest as the two of you lay in silence. Neither of you went back to sleep, instead just basking in the calming atmosphere that being together brought you.

Eventually, however, you both did have to get up, and hours later you heard Hongjoong sigh, “As much as I hate to say it, I believe the others should be starting to wake up right about now. It would probably be in our best interest to get up now.” With that, you felt him rise up and get out of bed, starting to gather his clothes to wear for the day while you elected to stay in bed a bit longer, watching him get ready with a smile. He turned to you, returning your smile, before pausing. “We have a problem.”

“That being?”

“Every inch of my body is screaming at me to just stay with you in bed rather than actually captain this ship.”

This made you laugh out loud, “Unfortunately, Mr. Pirate King, you can’t afford to do that. Now, come on, I’m getting ready now, too.” You rose from the bed, picking up the clothes that were thrown onto the floor the previous night. “...How realistic would it be for me to sneak back into my room and change into fresh clothes without anyone noticing?”

“I think you might be better off just accepting the teasing you’re bound to get, love,” Hongjoong answered lightheartedly, making your heart flutter once again at the use of the pet name.

You sighed playfully, “I suppose you’re right. Guess we’ll both have to grin and bear it, then, no doubt they’ll target you as well.”

“Even if they didn’t, Eden definitely will,” Hongjoong grimaced, thinking of his former master’s harsh attitude, making you laugh again. From then, the two of you got dressed with no more distractions, ready to face the many comments the two of you were sure to get from Wooyoung and San in particular. Before you walked out the door, you felt Hongjoong softly grasp your hand.

Turning to him, he gave you a gentle smile, “Ready?”

You smiled back just as fondly, “Ready.”

As expected, the crew had been relentless with the teasing the moment they saw the two of you step out together.

Wooyoung had taken one look at you and almost instantly started cackling, “Well, you two sure took your time, didn’t you? Thought Jongho would’ve confessed sooner than you, Captain!” At that, you witnessed instant karma as the youngest tackled the blond, cutting his laughter short.

“Yes, yes, laugh it up,” Hongjoong huffed, ignoring the sight of his gunner getting killed, “Get it all out of your systems now, because any comment made after this moment will get you stranded at a deserted island faster than you think.”

“We’re just happy for you two,” Yunho spoke, sending a giant grin your way, “It’s what you both deserve; literally years have been building up to it.”

“Thank you, Yunho,” You returned the blue haired boy’s smile, “But for now, can we please keep things as they are? Just because Hongjoong and I are… together now doesn’t mean anything needs to change.”

“Change is the last thing you need to worry about,” Eden snorted, “I’m more concerned if you two will be able to focus. I know what you’re like when you’re infatuated, Hongjoong, and I don’t think I need to remind either of you of the war we have on our hands.”

“No, you don’t, and we haven’t forgotten,” Hongjoong responded, giving a slight glare to his former teacher, “We can focus. I can focus. I have to if I want to keep her, and everyone else, safe. That’s my job as captain.”

Eden nodded, “Good. Glad to see you remember my teachings after all. Now, come on, we have a lot to discuss, as well as prepare for the war. We’ll need a battle plan. Captains only.”

“Right,” Hongjoong agreed, “I’ll be there in a bit. Everyone, do your job as normal until I say otherwise; the minute I say the word, war preparations begin.”

“Yes, Sir!”

More time passed by than you’d expected; two months had flown by without a single word from your kingdom, which worried you. Your parents didn’t need the time to regroup and think of a plan like you did, the Royal Navy at their beck and call. The fact things had been so silent made you fear for what they could have planned.

Luckily, Eden and Hongjoong seemed to figure out a sort of plan: Eden called in a few favors with some other pirate captains, and added a few more fleets to your side. The captains were all working with each other to come up with multiple plans to make sure you were covered for however your parents decided to attack; Hongjoong had never looked more like the Pirate King than in that moment, you swore. Elysian was practicing whatever magic he could use, which seemed to be controlling the ocean; he couldn’t cause a huge storm as Maddox did, but he could, quite literally, turn the tides to your advantage.

And, of course, the crew kept up with their training every day. San and Wooyoung had retaken their titles as your mentors, keeping your skills up to date while also teaching you a few more tricks they felt you could handle now. Mingi and Jongho sparred quite a bit, while Seonghwa, Yunho, and Yeosang also kept up with their own abilities in their free time. Despite the huge threat looming over you all, it never felt as though things were doomed; in fact, with the new rise in numbers, it felt as though you actually had a decent shot at winning.

“Hongjoong, we need supplies,” Seonghwa frowned, “We’re running low and any longer we might run out.”

“The only place close enough is Tortuga, and after last time, I’m not exactly eager to head back there….” Hongjoong frowned, thinking it over.

“Well, I doubt my parents will want me back now, so the bounty shouldn’t be an issue,” You spoke up, “Maybe if I stay on ship it’ll be fine?”

“That’s true…” He thought about it for a bit, “If you feel it’ll be safe, then we’ll go. Though, I suppose we have no choice in the matter, do we…”

From there, it was a quick few days journey back to Tortuga, just barely making it in time before supplies ran out.

“Remember, stay here unless it’s an emergency, got it?” Hongjoong instructed, “We’ll be back as soon as possible, it won’t take long.”

“I know,” You nodded, “Now, go. Before we all get too hungry and start eating bits of the ship.” Chuckling at your ridiculousness, he gave you a kiss on the forehead before he walked off with the rest of the crew, leaving you alone on deck.

Sighing, you walked up to the railing, looking out into the sea, “I know you see everything, Maddox, and I understand you can’t tell us, but a hint would really be nice, you know. Something to help ease my mind.” The waves below you showed no change, but you knew he’d heard you. You could almost hear him chuckle in amusement, which didn’t exactly bring you comfort. From there, you simply just watched the waves hit the hull of the ship, finding peace in the silence.

That is, until San and Wooyoung came rushing towards you, both out of breath as San spoke, "You… Need… To Hurry….”

“What? What do you mean, has something happened?” You frowned, becoming concerned at what might’ve happened.

“No time to talk,” Wooyoung shook his head, “Just…. Come with us.” He then grabbed you by the wrist and dragged you to where the others were, Hongjoong and Eden standing with a rugged pirate, their looks worried.

“What’s going on?” You asked, but Hongjoong just turned to the pirate.

“Tell her what you told us,” He demanded, pointing at you while the pirate shrunk into himself, scared by Hongjoong’s steely look. Shakily, he opened his mouth, and the words that came tumbling out made your blood run cold.

“The King and Queen have been murdered in cold blood. Prince (B/N) has taken over the kingdom.”

It’d only been months, at that point half a year, since you stepped foot into the halls of the palace, but to you it felt like it’d been centuries. The minute the pirate’s words sunk into your brain, you’d demanded Hongjoong take you back to your kingdom, needing to find out the truth for yourself. He’d argued against it at first, but backed down when he saw you weren’t taking no for an answer. Once you stepped foot on land, you immediately called for parley and stormed your way to the palace, not stopping for anyone in your way.

Which is how you found yourself back in the throne room, in front of your brother, finally the king you’d knew he’d become, “What the fuck have you done?”

“Hello to you too, sister,” He drawled, almost seeming like he’d been expecting you.

“(B/N), what in the hell were you thinking? You killed our parents!” You almost yelled, “Do you know what you’ve done?!”

“I didn’t think you’d care.”

“I don’t, I couldn’t give less a damn about what happened to them, but you always were closer to them, why would you do that?!”

“Because, not everything is as you think it is, (Y/N)!” He finally seemed to give in, “You have no idea what it was like, being stuck with them as much as I was.”

“Don’t give me that, we both know you were their favorite!”

“It’s because I was their favorite that drove me mad!” He yelled out, then sighed, trying to calm himself down, “I know you only ever saw one side of it, because I wanted to keep it that way. But they were truly awful, terrible people, (Y/N), and as you said, I was the one closest to them. Do you really think I was never made a victim to their mistreatment as well?” That made you freeze, the implications sitting in. Your brother, ever the tall, arrogant son, looked more like the shy boy you remembered from your memories in this moment.

“What do you mean?” You spoke slowly, trying to wrap your head around this new information.

“Let me explain,” He began, leading into what he was put through…

“Stupid boy,” His father knocked up upside the head with the book he was studying with, making the young boy wince in pain, “How are you still not getting it? You’re going to be the next king of this kingdom and you can’t even answer a simple equation? How do you expect to rule with a useless brain like that?”

Sniffing, the boy, (B/N), only eight years old, rubbed the area where he’d been struck, “I-I’m sorry, father…. I’ll try harder…..”

“You damn well better, or I’ll name someone else to be my heir instead,” His father snapped, “Now, if you don’t have this solved by the time the sun sets, then you’ll be locked in your room with no food until you do, got it?”

“Yes, father…” Trying not to cry, he looked down as he heard his father leave the room, not even bothering to close the door behind him. It was only silent for a minute, however, as soon, a much smaller head poked its way through the door.

“Is it clear?” You asked, six years old and looking around, “Is he gone?”

“Yes, he’s gone,” (B/N) sighed, “But I can’t play with you today, (Y/N). I need to study.”

“But you always study,” You whined, “I’m sure you can spare a few hours to have some fun!”

“Father said I need to finish this equation by sunset.”

“It won’t take nearly that long, my bedtime is at sunset! Come on, pleaseeeee?” You looked at him with a pout, and he could feel his willpower break.

“Alright, but just for a bit, okay?” Immediately, you broke out into a cheer, before dragging him out to the gardens where the two of you always played together. The game was always different, usually something created from whichever story you’d been told to by one of the maids, but it was fun for the both of you nevertheless.

“By the way,” You wondered, hanging upside down from a tree branch, “How come your face is all swollen on one side? Did something happen?”

Instantly, he felt his hand reach where the book had hit him, and he swallowed, “It’s nothing. I- A door just hit me when I wasn’t expecting it, is all. I’m alright.” He didn’t know how to tell you it was your father who’d done this to him, there’s no way you would understand at six. He barely understood it, and he was eight! A whole two years older!

“And the maids call me clumsy,” You snorted, accepting his lie, “You need to be more careful. Can’t be a king if you can’t even beat a--!”

“(Y/N) (L/N)!” A shrill voice rang out, and (B/N) could see the color drain from your face, “What in the hell do you think you’re doing?! Get down from there this instant!”

Quickly, you climbed down the tree, apologizing quickly, “I’m sorry, Mother, I just-!”

“Why can’t you be more well behaved like your brother,” Your mother sighed, making you shrink into yourself, “Not to mention you’ve dragged him away from his studies, again. Why we had a daughter is beyond me, clearly you’re more trouble than you’re worth…. Go to your room, now! Before your father finds out and really gets angry!” Tears starting to come in your eyes, you ran off, doing as you were told before you could get yelled at again. (B/N) could only watch as you ran, a horrible feeling in his chest at how you’d been punished for simply being a child; he couldn’t let you know he had it bad, too. He had to be the stronger one, he was the older brother; he would protect you from any harm, even if it had to be his own parents.

Fourteen and twelve, after the scene in the town square. Your father had just sent you away, and now (B/N) was left with both his parents’ disappointing stares. A beat of silence passed before your father struck him across the face, (B/N) showing no reaction as he’d grown accustomed to it.

“Stupid boy, have you learned nothing at all?!” Your father roared, “All this time we spend making sure the public has a good opinion of you, and you try to ruin it in one day?! You’re lucky I don’t lock up you and your sister both in the dungeon!”

“Now, dear, I think he knows what he’s done wrong,” Your mother tried to calm down her husband, her clear bias enraging your brother, “One incident cannot bring down his reputation that dramatically; we can regain the people’s favor…”

“Right,” Your father took a deep breath, “It’s that pesky girl we need to deal with. Maybe it’s about time we married her off, she’s not doing anything of use for us here…”

“What?” (B/N) finally spoke, lifting his head at your father’s words, “You can’t! She’s only twelve!”

“There are children her age who’ve married younger,” He dismissed, “And she’s clearly a bad influence on you. This way, she stays out of our hair while you grow to become king. It’s for the best.”

“No,” (B/N) firmly denied, “I’m not going to let her get married to some strange man, not this young. When she’s of age, then you can talk about marriages for her all you want, but not now. For now, you leave her alone.”

“And what makes you think I’ll-!” Your father was about to argue, but (B/N) cut him off.

“I’ll stay away from her,” He promised, “I’ll make her hate me if I have to, but I won’t spend any time with her anymore, if that’s what you really want. In exchange, you leave her alone, or else I’ll take her and run off, just the two of us. We’ve sneaked past our guards before, who’s to say we can’t do it again?” Your father mulled over these words, thinking it through.

“Fine. She'll stay. But you better do well on your word, boy, and steer clear from her. She might be your sister, but you’re going to be king, and all she is is a distraction, understand me?”

The next day, you tried to get him to play with you again, and he coldly shut you out for the first time. After that, he was the mean, boorish brother you remembered him being, but only on the outside. On the inside, it killed him to be so rough with you, but it was better than you being married to someone who would treat you many times worse.

He was protecting you, even if you didn’t know it.

Stunned into silence, you sat down at a step near the throne, your brother having moved to sit next to you.

“I understand it’s hard to believe,” Your brother said softly.

“Hard to believe?” You scoffed, “I can believe the abuse easily enough, but why didn’t you just tell me? Why act so terribly to me? I was twelve, I would’ve understood! Or better yet, why not just take us like you threatened to anyway? We would’ve been much better off!”

“I was fourteen, I was scared! I didn’t think we’d actually be able to survive on our own, I was just bluffing to get them to agree!” He explained, “My mind was racing at the time, I was ready to say just about anything to make sure you stayed safe.”

“Okay, but what about when we got older?” You argued, “Once you turned eighteen you would’ve had more power to do whatever you wanted, you could’ve done something then!”

“Do you really think you would’ve gone anywhere with me so easily at that point?” He smiled bitterly, “I figured it was much too late for you to trust me. Maybe I was wrong, and for that, I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry about everything I’ve done. You don’t have to forgive me, I know I’ve far from deserved it.”

Sighing, you pressed on, “You still haven’t told me why you killed them. What happened, what made you snap?”

“They didn’t tell me when you’d declared war,” He replied, “They’d let me think they were still trying to find you, which I suppose they weren’t lying. However, I walked in on them devising a way to kill you, they had no intention of sparing you or bringing you back.”

“Yeah, probably my fault,” You winced, “I made it pretty clear I didn’t want to come back.”

“Well, I didn’t know that at the time, and it still doesn’t justify it in my eyes,” He frowned, “No parents should want to kill their daughter, as horrible as they may be. Point is, I found out, and the minute I did, I blacked out. Genuinely, I have no memory of what happened, I must’ve just snapped. The next thing I knew, they were laying at my feet.”

“So, what, you just killed them in a moment of anger?” You asked, trying to get a grasp of the situation.

“That’s the thing, (Y/N), I didn’t kill them,” He responded, “I hurt them, but they’re not dead. That was only a rumor that people spread when I took over, to try to make me look bad.”

“Not too far off from the truth, is it?” You raised an eyebrow, not impressed.

He replied, “I’m not proud of it, but it’s for the best. You know just as well as I do they were terrible rulers as well as parents. I’m not saying I’ll do good, but I do think I can at least do better.”

“Oh, you’ll hear no arguments from me on that,” You scoffed, “But then, where are they? If the world thinks they’re dead, that means they haven’t been in public.”

“In the dungeon,” He said, “Figured it was a fitting enough place to put them. I can show you to them, if you’d like. If it’ll help you believe me, in any case.”

“Might as well,” You nodded, “I’m sure they’ll be able to tell me whether anything you’ve just said is true or not. Lead the way.”

“Very well, then,” He agreed, turning and leading you down the long corridors. The dungeons were never a place you wanted to be in, so you usually made sure to steer clear of them, but even the darkened halls and many stairs were familiar to you; the years of wandering around the castle in boredom coming back to you. Eventually, you were met with a wooden door, the entrance to the dungeons. Ever the gentleman, your brother held the door open for you; rolling your eyes, you stepped through the door, walking until you found your parents’ cell. The two of them had clearly seen better days, their clothes tattered and torn, their hair mangled and matted, but it was as your brother said: they were alive. Weak, but alive.

“How long have they been in there?” You asked softly, turning your head to your brother.

“About a month or so,” He replied, “News travels slowly when you’re on the sea, I presume.” Silently, you walked forward in front of the bars, your shadow catching your parents’ attention.

“Well, if it isn’t the bitch of a pirate we called a daughter herself,” Your father scoffed, turning away from you, “Heard the news, have you?”

“You bastard, you don’t-!” Your brother started to defend you, but you stopped him.

“It’s alright, I don’t care what they have to say about me,” You assured, “I’m not the one locked up in a cage, now am I?”

“Come to gloat, then?” Your father said, “About how you won the war without ever even starting it? We would’ve won, foolish girl, if it wasn’t for your freak of a brother. He always was too soft for you, should’ve sent you away when we had the chance.”

Ignoring his words, you leaned down, looking them both in the eye, “You both hated me so much, just for being born. Why? Was it because I was a woman? Was it because I distracted (B/N) from his studies? Why did you even have a second child if you didn’t even properly love the first one?”

“There was always something about you, ever since you were born,” Your mother spat out at you, “I knew you would be trouble from the very minute I held you, I could just tell. And I wasn’t wrong, look at you! A disgusting pirate instead of the princess we raised you to be! And you’ve gone and dragged your brother down with you! He would’ve turned out just fine if it wasn’t for you!”

“It’s astounding how even now you still don’t get it,” You laughed, but there was no emotion in it, “It wasn’t me who did anything, it was you. If both children turned out bad, then wouldn’t you say it’s the parents’ fault? If you had just been proper fucking parents who genuinely cared about your children, we wouldn’t be here. If you had been good rulers who tried to make the kingdom better, you wouldn’t be here. Literally every single choice you made has led you here, and you have nothing but yourselves to blame. I have absolutely no pity for either of you, truly. I’m glad you get to live the rest of your lives rotting in a prison cell, (B/N) is going to do a far better job than you ever did. And I’ll be doing alright, too, because I’ve found people who genuinely love and care about me. So you can think about that, while you’re alone here. You can think about how your freak children are doing much better than you, are much happier than you. Because I certainly won’t be thinking of you. Goodbye.” With that, you stood up, not even bothering to give them a second glance as you walked through the doors, your brother following silently behind you.

It wasn’t until you made it back to the throne room that you spoke up again, “So, what now? What do we do about this war, then? Is it just over, just like that?”

“I don’t wish to fight you, (Y/N), but the people would riot if they found out I just let pirates go free,” He sighed, “Not to mention I’m sure your army wouldn’t do well with the knowledge that their time was wasted.”

“Their time would be wasted if we fought a war that didn’t need fighting,” You frowned, “There must be something we can do. We don’t need to waste lives for a battle neither of us want.”

“...Actually, there might be,” Your brother lit up, as if he remembered something, “We’ve gotten some troubling reports from neighboring kingdoms, storms appearing out of season, the ocean starting to freeze, unseen creatures causing chaos, all sorts of strange phenomena. We sent some of our own scouts to see what’s happening, but they haven’t returned yet. It hasn’t been that long, so it hasn’t worried me yet, but in case they don’t return… we could say we struck a deal, I end the war as long as you investigate this for me. That way, no one has to die, and we can end this peacefully.”

“What, by using me and my crew as guinea pigs?” You raised an eyebrow.

“You wouldn’t go in alone,” He assured quickly, “I’d send a Navy ship alongside you, I’ll even join you myself if it’ll ease your mind. That way, we can kill two birds with one stone: end this war, and figure out what’s causing all this.”

Thinking about it, you sighed, “I won’t make any decision without my captain. He has to hear you out, too, and if he says no, deal’s off, got it? Eden, as well, he likely won’t take being left out sitting down.”

“Of course,” He instantly replied, though the thought of pirates in the castle clearly made him a bit uncomfortable, “Send them both in. Whatever you need.”

Twenty minutes later, Hongjoong and Eden sat with you at the council room, mulling over what your brother just told them. You could feel the hesitation off of both of them, unlikely to immediately trust someone of the royal family, but you knew they were also taking his words seriously.

“So, you’re saying you’re willing to risk your own life in this?” Hongjoong raised an eyebrow, “Forgive me if I don’t find myself willing to believe that, ‘Your Highness’.” The last words were said with a tone of sarcasm, letting your brother know exactly what Hongjoong thought of him.

“I understand your trepidation,” Your brother began, “I would be the same if I was in your place. But I’m willing to do anything to prove myself to you both, if it’ll help. I know just as well as you that a war without cause would be pointless.”

“Would you be willing to give your life, Your Majesty?” Eden spoke up, cocking his head slightly, “Sacrifice the lives of your men? Can you even prove that you can hold your own in a fight if it comes down to it?”

“I’ll do whatever it takes,” He affirmed, “A good king knows when to stand back, but he also knows when he’s needed. Though if possible, I’d like for this to go without any sacrifices, even if I know that may not be an option. Call me idealistic for it, if you must.”

“One final question,” Hongjoong stood up, walking until he stood directly in front of your brother, “Why? Why would the king of an entire kingdom be willing to walk right into a potentially dangerous situation, one where he could lose his own life? Especially with no heir for the kingdom to fall back on?”

“Because,” (B/N) stated, looking him directly in the eye, “I don’t want her to get hurt. And I’m sure that’s something we can both agree on, Pirate King.” He nodded towards you. “Besides, if it is dangerous, then it’s my responsibility to do something about it, as the one calling this favor. I won’t force you, though. The choice is yours.” Silently, Hongjoong walked back to his seat, sharing a look with Eden. The two seemed to silently debate for a bit before coming to a decision.

“Alright,” Hongjoong agreed, “But you must keep your word and come with us. I’ll even have you aboard my own ship, if only to keep an eye on you. And I’m only agreeing because I want this war business over with, nothing else, understand?”

“Clearly,” Your brother instantly relaxed, relief clear on his face, “I could even call in a few favors to some of the princes of some of the other kingdoms affected, have them assist as well.”

“We could talk to Maddox, see if he knows what’s going on,” You added, “If anyone’s going to know, it’s him.”

“Maddox?” Your brother looked at you in confusion.

“We know the ocean,” You replied casually.

“...Right,” He said hesitantly, “Well, in any case, any help at all is appreciated. I’ll send word for you all whenever we get word back. If by, say, two months we haven’t heard anything, I’ll let you know. Where can I send a letter where I’ll know you’ll find it?”

You and Hongjoong looked at each other, hesitant to say Jongho’s family’s location, “How about we just check back in in two months time instead? Might be easier that way.”

“As long as it works for you,” He agreed. The three of you made to stand up, but your brother stopped you, “If it’s not an issue, may I have a word with my sister? I promise you, it won’t take long.”

Hongjoong frowned, clearly about to say no, when you laid a hand on his chest, “It’s alright, Hongjoong. Go ahead and tell the crew, I’ll meet you at The Utopia.” He didn’t like it, but did as you said, sending a glare to your brother before leaving with Eden.

“He’s protective of you, I can tell,” Your brother smiled dryly.

You simply replied, “I’m his crewmate, he’s protective over all of us.”

“He’s in love with you, I could see it instantly,” He shook his head, looking at you, “Tell me, are you happy with him?”

“Very.”

“Then that’s good enough for me,” He sighed, leaning back in his seat, “I know you’re in good hands. Not that you can’t take care of yourself, you’ve more than proven that, I think.”

“Being kidnapped by pirates does tend to strengthen you a bit, yeah,” He let out a small laugh at that. Silence passed for a second before he spoke up again.

“Do you think you could forgive me?” He asked, “Maybe not now, but someday?”

“...I don’t know,” You answered honestly, “I know why you did what you did, but… you still hurt me. I loved you so much, but you made me believe you hated me, and so I began to hate you, too. It takes time to recover from that, (B/N).”

“I know,” He nodded, as if he expected this answer, “I don’t expect you to forgive me right away. You might never forgive me, and that’s okay. I just want you to know that I do love you, (Y/N), and that I’ll always look out for you. Even if that means letting you run off with pirates, because I know you’ll be truly happy with them. Just know that you’ll always have a place here, if you ever want to come back. To stay, to visit, whatever. It’s entirely up to you.”

“Right,” You said, giving him a brief smile, “Well, good luck to you. I’ll be seeing you in two months' time, alright?”

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Was his only response.

It didn’t take long until The Utopia was at sea again, no one wanting to stick around for too long after meeting with your brother. Eden and the rest of his crew parted ways with you, promising to reunite in two months, because god forbid he be left out. You couldn’t help but roll your eyes, but had a smile on your face, regardless. Eden had long since apologized for his actions and the two of you were on much better terms, much to Hongjoong’s relief; he had no idea what he’d two if the two of you were at each other’s throats. Elysian had elected to stay, wanting to join the crew as an official member; he wanted to see what was beyond Elysia, as well as be on hand in case something happened that would require his help. Hongjoong was all too willing to have him; it wouldn’t hurt someone who could control the ocean around, anyway.

The crew was now on the way back to Jongho’s home, to pick up Jiae; Mingi was beside himself with excitement. Jongho was ready to spend time with his family for a bit, while everyone else was looking forward to taking a bit of a break, after the events of the last few months. You smiled to yourself, laying on the railing, looking over the sea as you always did, feeling the most at peace since you joined the crew in the first place.

“You seem happy,” Maddox spoke, appearing before you, but his presence didn’t surprise you, “I’m glad everything was able to be worked out.”

“You knew they would,” You replied, looking at him, “Probably saw it years before we were ever born.”

“Maybe so,” He agreed, “But there are things even I cannot foresee. The things your brother mentioned, the phenomena he described… I don’t know what’s causing it. If I’m being truthful, I don’t know what happens from here. It worries me.”

“Wait, so you don’t have any clue what’s going on?” You asked, turning to him fully, “Is it dangerous? Are we signing up for a suicide mission?”

“I can’t say,” He shook his head, “But I don’t think it matters, because I have faith that whatever it is, you’ll be there to solve it. You’ll need help, however. Can’t be expected to do everything alone, and there’s only so much Elysian can do, after all.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m merely saying that if the opportunity comes, it won’t hurt to do with adding more members,” He replied with an almost innocent tone, “After all, the others have their own destinies to find, don’t they? They deserve their own happy endings, as well.”

“You mean, like soulmates?” You asked, but he merely smiled before disappearing. “Figures. Can’t get a straight answer out of that guy, can you?”

“(Y/N), there you are!” Hongjoong came up from behind you, smiling brightly, “Come, the others want to celebrate the war being avoided, and refuse to start without you. Let’s go, before Wooyoung decides to sneak in some alcohol behind Seonghwa’s back.”

“Right, let’s go,” You laughed, taking Hongjoong’s hand as he began to lead you away. Before you rejoined the others, however, he stopped and turned to you, giving you a deep kiss. Smiling, you returned it, placing your arms behind his neck as he pulled you in closer.

“I love you,” He spoke softly as he pulled away, placing his forehead on yours.

“I love you, too,” You returned the sentiment, giving him another quick peck before pulling him by the hand, joining the crowd in the middle of the deck, “Alright, alright, we’re here!”

“Finally!” Wooyoung grinned, “I was about ready to chase after the both of you, and I’m sure neither of you wanted that!”

“Yeah, no one wants to hear Wooyoung’s screams of wanting to bleach his eyes when he caught the two of you,” San joined in, joking around at your relationship.

“Oh, ha ha, very funny,” You deadpanned, sitting beside him nonetheless, “So, what’s the plan then?”

“No clue,” Yunho shrugged, “We were just gonna make it up as we go along.”

“More fun that way, anyway,” Mingi agreed, a giant grin wide on his face.

“I’m surrounded by children,” Seonghwa sighed, but it was clear to see how fond he actually was by the smile he wore.

Yeosang replied, “Yeah, you say that, but I don’t see you coming up with a plan either, you know?”

“Hopefully we don’t live to regret this in the morning,” Jongho groaned, already dreading to think of the possible hangover they’d all likely have by the next day.

“I won’t,” You said softly, so that only Hongjoong could hear you, “I won’t regret a single moment of this.”

“Neither will I,” He agreed, giving you another kiss in front of everyone, causing them all to complain at the show of affection. One thing, however, everyone could agree on.

Whatever came next, they were all prepared to handle it.

Together.
