Day 5: Needing Advice

Sebastian works hard cooking up a storm in the kitchen, the birds chirping just outside the kitchen window as he slices some apples and pears.

Late autumn is a pleasant season for him. He greatly enjoys the slightly colder weather as the red and orange leaves dry up and shrivel down as the clouds grow thicker and colder until snow covered the land, he adored the ways hearts swell and beat in one motion as the sounds of crispy winds hit against the now bare dark bark trees, he loved the fun hunting seasons he used to attend alongside his kind before leaving Hell.

But now, he enjoys the hunt just as much.

With a small hum on his lips, the butler made his way upstairs to the young Earl of the house in the grand study of a room, the afternoon a calming affair around him as he walked his way down the hall.

His gloved hand reached out and knocked on the door softly before he entered the room, a habit he’s used to throughout the years. Upon entering the office, he sees the bluette Earl sitting at his desk staring at a letter of sorts in his hands. The butler smiled softly,

“Did Earl Trancy write to you again, Young Master?”

Ciel sputtered and “hid” the letter by shoving it to his chest, his lone blue eye glaring at the demon as he wheels the cart to the side of the desk and pouring some sweet smelling tea. “Today’s afternoon tea is a vanilla tea blend from the town’s market, and as a snack I have prepared some sliced apples drizzled in caramel sauce for you.” Said the man in black with an innocent yet knowing grin as he placed the tea saucer and cup next to the papers in front of the teen, the plate of apple slices coming afterwards.

He took notice of the Earl’s pink cheeks and still glaring eye and chuckled out, “Some friendly advice, My Lord, I say invite him over to a chess game. He’s a person, like you, who enjoys games even if he isn't quite good at them. I can even request Miss Doll to come too if you so order.”

Ciel blushed harder and practically slammed the paper down at the desk. “Oh, shut up!” He growled and took an aggressive bite off an apple slice, earning another soft chuckle from the demon beside him.

—

The afternoon rolled around carefully as Sebastian finally took notice of the rain that’s creeping up beside the human race. A smile comes to his lips as he looks to his Master where he pauses. Has Young Master been this tall before? Indeed, the once little Earl of the manor seems to be marching around proud with his height just easily noticeable and not just mere inches. He grins and shows off his peacock feathers to the butler as if sensing the surprise on the demon’s face. “What is it Sebastian?”

Sebastian blinked and chuckled a bit, “I just did not realize you’re actually becoming an adult now, My Lord. Though surely your legs are hurting, shall I put a kettle on?” The master shook his head, his hair slightly longer than the ears’ ends, swaying softly against pale skin. “I’m fine.” He said, a smile on his lips still as pride is obviously filling his chest. The butler smiles at this expression, “Very well then, My Lord.”

—

Snow falls down from the night sky as Sebastian walks down the halls of the manor, the scent of roasted chestnuts still lingering in the air alongside in perfect harmony of the soft pine that still hangs beautifully around the corners and every inch and bend of the stairway, the soft glow of candle light giving the halls that were once dead and haunted a warm welcoming glow of happy blissful memories in contrast of the once gloomy ones from the past. A cart with a small plate of chocolate cake and a warm iron kettle wheels in front of the butler as he walks past the frosted windows that face the illumination white landscape in front of the dark black canvas of the sky. Finally, he reached to a door and knocked softly, “Young Master, I have brought over your midnight snack.” Said he as he turned the glittering knob and entered the room. Instantly, the sound of a whine catches his attention.

Red eyes watch the scene of a grown adult dressed in pajamas that fit his age now but still have some ribbons and frills of youthful pasts cradling a little human of light brown locks of hair in his no longer small and weak arms, behind him seated in the lounging chair of the bedchamber is a blond fellow who softly sings to a wee infant with soft brown locks barely showing pass the blanket that wrap them up like a gift from God, and just beside the first adult is a woman with shoulder length brown hair who’s not having a so soft image like the two but instead dealing with the fussing dark haired toddler on her lap. Sebastian smiled softly in amusement at the scene and started to pour the sweet brown liquid of hot chocolate in three cups for each. “Is Little Albert fussy Miss Doll?” He asked, a small smirk hidden away showing he knows that boy is a fussy mess. The lady giggled softly at the tease and accepted when the cup of cocoa was handed to her, her golden band of marriage glittering under light. “Thank you Sebastian.” She said, her voice a sweet honey tone, kneeling the cup to the son in her arms who slowly took some careful ships and relaxed into her bosoms. The demon walked to the lounging chair to the blond man and offered the cup, pausing when a hand reached up in a stop motion. “Maybe later Sebastian, little Rachel is finally resting.” Said he, a smile full of love and happiness on the beautiful face as icey blues stared down at the soft skinned face of the sweet little babe in the cotton blanket. Sebastian smiles, “Of course Lord Trancy.” He turned to the final adult, and before he could open his mouth to ask, he spoke out before the butler, “You know I’ll never say no to your hot chocolate Sebastian.”

Sebastian chuckled and gave the cup to his master, smiling at the look of the little boy dozing off against his shoulder. As the three adults enjoyed the finally calm energy of the room, the butler gave Ciel a slice of cake and carefully took hold of baby Rachel from Alois so the man could enjoy a cup of cocoa alongside his partners. The demon stared at the small resting face in his arms and smiled, looking to the three who carefully moved the two boys onto the bed after they both tuckered out with little to no protests at all as they tuck them under the blankets at last. With a soft hum of his lips of a ditty from long ago, he carefully and gently places the littlest one in a lovely wooden carved cradle right by the room window, smiling softly at the view of dark lashes curled against pale eyelids. Carefully lifting the glass barrier, Sebastian snuffed out the candle light that lit the room and left the chambers with the parents with care.

The butler walked alongside the three who now show their tiredness fully as he helps them to their rooms as if something were to happen if he wasn’t along their sides at night. After they snuggled into the large bed that usually is only reserved for the husband and wife but have long since been used and worn by the Earl and his wife and their lover, they drank the remains of the warm cocoa and nibbled on the cake slices. Sebastian watched as his master yawned, smiling softly at the forever image of his small frame bruised and thinner than the icicles outside drinking some warm milk and honey even though now he’s grown and far past the little hurt lamb he was in the past. After accepting their dishes and bidding them a good night, the butler soon left the three be, and back again was he walking down the hall to return the dishes to the clean state they were prior. It’s almost strange to imagine these walls covered in cinder He thought as he walked and admired the manor he grew used to thanks to a certain small child rich in revenge and pain, smiling as he does as red eyes show warmth. Have a good rest, My Lord. May you dream of happy memories and the future.

I had a lot of fun this @dadbastianweek2023 thing! I hope to do this again!

How do you feel about doll x our ciel ?

I like it. It's definitely going to get a bit more interesting shipwise(and of course storywise)if Doll is alive or "alive". I haven't read the most recent chapter fully yet, so I don't if it's already confirmed.

But if she is, it's going to have some really nice friends-to-enemies trope, which is angsty, and I love it.

We're also probably going to see O!Ciel facing the consequences of his actions even more so and that not everything is pushed away so easily. Which he has already got a little bit of a taste of with R!Ciel coming back. So that is exciting!

Anyway, back to Doll & O!Ciel. Their dynamic was already interesting in the Circus arc with their personalities being juxtaposed, but having some things in common. There is a lot of potential for them romantically, platonically and everything in between. So yeah! I think they are pretty cool!

I loved what you wrote!!!

I dunno if you have limits (if so I apologize for popping up the same day), but can I maybe possibly ask for something of the same ship (maybe with Alois I dunno if you write him or not) with the prompt of the Servants are confused seeing them come to the manor separately and wonder if Ciel is finally getting friends, but one morning after they stayed the night in secret ( 😏🤭 ) and they try to sneak out and Sebastian catches them in the hall, cue the threes very different and very bad excuses and lies

! Ciel Sneaking in Alois, Doll, and Cole !

!!!! MY FIRST ALOIS RQ!! oh i love him my sweet boy :sobbing emoji: how i miss you dearly and wish you were canon i miss u

Recently, the servants have noticed something odd. They clean the manor from top to bottom, yet every night without fail, there's always footsteps somewhere. Baldroy had the idea of testing shoe sizes, but none of their shoes match the imprints or sizes of the footprints.

They kept silent about this, though. Mey-rin had a rough time in doing so, but they managed. They excused this as Ciel's doing. They didn't know his shoe size or the imprints of his shoes, to be fair. That was all Sebastian. And if they asked if they could see Ciel's shoes, that'd be... very inappropriate of them.

Though, they didn't like the fact the footprints would differ in size, albeit by barely.

They caught Ciel late at night, shocked to see the boy so nervous for once. "Young master?" Finnian would ask. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing's the matter. Continue with your duties." he sputtered, back leaning up against his bedroom door.

Finnian didn't understand, but retreated to tell the other two. The one who connected the dots first was Baldroy, naturally. "He could be hiding someone. The footprints, his anxiety, keeping his bedroom door shut..."

"Who would it be?" Mey-rin stuttered out. "Maybe a friend he doesn't want us seeing." Baldroy responded.

And so, satisfied with the reason, they dropped it. They continued to clean whatever prints there were without question.

Though one day, Sebastian started his duties early. He washed the dishes one extra time to be sure Ciel would get the finest dishes, when he heard something.

"Shh! You can't be so loud!" Ciel whisper-yelled. Thankfully, Sebastian had the ears of a hound. "Oh come on," a familiar voice spoke. "No one will be awake at this hour."

Sebastian turned the corner to see what was going on. There, lined up from left to right, was Doll, Alois, and Cole. He would've understood why Alois was here, but at this hour? This was no business meeting.

Watching a little longer, he noticed something else. Ciel's clothes were quite messily on him. Some aspects such as his tie were alright, but his jacket was wrinkled and his shorts were inside out. How unruly for a noble.

It was clear as day something had happened. Alois had what looked to be scratch marks on the back of his neck, Cole's lips were swollen, and Doll was holding onto a wall.

How did I not notice? Sebastian thought. I must correct myself as soon as I can.

He decided that this was enough. He needed to up the security of this manor. Unless for some reason, Ciel had let the three in.

"Boys, my lord." Sebastian spoke up. "..Why are they here?"

Ciel froze, hair on the back of his neck sticking up like a frightened cat. Alois let out a soft 'huh'. "Seems your suspicions were correct, Ciel!"

Nervously, Ciel turned to face Sebastian. "...It was business." "At this hour?" "Yes." "Without me present?" "Yes."

Sebastian squints. "Then why is Doll here? She has nothing to do with business. Frankly, I thought Cole would be the last person you'd wish to see, albeit behind Alois but he is more-so forced into your business..."

Alois clicked his tongue. Doll was paralyzed in place.

"What was this 'meeting' about?"

"The queen." "School." Alois and Cole collided reasons. Ciel and Sebastian let out a collective sigh.

"..And how did you come in?" Sebastian asked. "Door." "Window." they collide once more.

Ciel, at this point, had slowly retreated. Sebastian let him.

Sebastian doesn't plan to let them go until he gets a confession, it seems..

A Kuroshitsuji theory about the emerald witch arc

I've never posted something like this and English isn't my main language but I just wanted to share some thoughts with other fans, so please let me know what you think about this :)

We are in the dream in chapters 93-95, and could these scenes hide clues about the future/role of certain characters???

Who are the pieces on the chessboard?

(Maybe a big foreshadowing about the most recent chapters????)

What pieces are present for each group?

Black: 1 king, 1 horse/knight, 1 rook*, 3 pawns

White: 1 queen, 1 horse/knight, 1 bishop, 1 rook*, 2 pawns

*I'm almost sure it's a rook because it's the only piece left and the other shapes wouldn't really fit.

First, let's include a bit of symbolism for each piece. (Full article: https://chessquestions.com/chess-pieces-symbolism-shape/)

After looking at the various characters that Yana linked to the pieces it was super interesting to re-read their role/symbolism and try to understand the reasons behind those placements.

Later two mirrored panels appear and they indicate that certain pieces represent certain characters.

Ok that was easy.

But what about the others?

And we know that Yana doesn't do things randomly, so what could be the reason for certain choices?

Let's see the theory little by little…

White:

▪︎ BISHOP -> Joker

▪︎ PAWN 1 -> Doll

▪︎ PAWN 2 -> ?

▪︎ ROOK -> ?

▪︎ HORSE -> ?

▪︎ QUEEN -> ?

▪︎ ?

Black:

▪︎ ROOK -> Vincent

▪︎ PAWN 1 -> Madame red

▪︎ KING -> ?

▪︎ HORSE -> ?

▪︎ PAWN 2 -> ?

▪︎ PAWN 3 -> ?

4 of them are revealed by Yana herself and two more are quite obvious: O!Ciel is the black king and Sebastian the black knight.

These two symbolisms are often used both in the first chapters and in the anime.

Furthermore, it is mentioned in the same chapter:

O!Ciel is frequently shown as the "black king" but in the chapter we can see him standing in front of the king, he covers part of it and it's as if he is the one wearing the crown.

R!Ciel is leaning on the horse when he says that Ciel is scared to look at the "proof of sin" which is a clear reference to Sebastian. Also, on the chessboard in the first picture, we find the horse close to O!Ciel.

Ok, perfect, now the hypotheses and spoilers for the latest released chapters begin.

I start with two characters who are shown in the chapter but not as chess pieces: Rachel and R!Ciel.

Rachel is not present in the second picture but is always shown next to Vincent (in this chapter too) so I think she could be the pawn seen in the first photo in the box G8.

For R!Ciel, however, the question is a little different because we actually know which piece he represents even if that piece is not shown on the board.

R!Ciel is the white king, this not only because he's O!Ciel's twin but because it's shown to us by Yana through the way he moves.

This picture is super helpful to understand where the characters are positioned and how they move.

We can see him (blue dot) standing on C3 in a scene, then he moves until he's on F2 (the X), standing in front of the black horse (G2, red dot).

I found it interesting how the way he moves is almost underlined with zooms and sparkles: first, a single step obliquely (in D2) and then another single step.

We don't actually know if the move was C3->D2->E2->F2 or C3->D2->E3->F2 but the important thing is that he moves in multiple directions but only one step at a time, and this is a main feature of the king in chess.

So what is the situation now?

White:

▪︎ BISHOP -> Joker

▪︎ PAWN 1 -> Doll

▪︎ PAWN 2 -> ?

▪︎ ROOK -> ?

▪︎ HORSE -> ?

▪︎ QUEEN -> ?

▪︎ (KING -> R!Ciel)

Black:

▪︎ ROOK -> Vincent

▪︎ PAWN 1 -> Madame red

▪︎ KING -> ? (O!Ciel)

▪︎ HORSE -> ? (Sebastian)

▪︎ PAWN 2 -> ? (Rachel?)

▪︎ PAWN 3 -> ?

I'm not actually interested in the black pieces at the moment so let's focus on the rest.

Looking at the situation that has been created with the return of the real Ciel and other characters recently, do we perhaps have some clues about the current factions???

Both R!Ciel and Doll returned as bizarre dolls, so could we consider the whites their side or at least a side that is O!Ciel's enemy?

Then we can now guess who the white horse is in my mind.

Why do I think that Undertaker is the white horse?

He has a somewhat similar role to that of Sebastian for O!Ciel, albeit distorted.

They're both the "knight" to their "kings", someone who stays by their side (white horse in B4, really close to the white king in C3) and provides support and strategy, I don't know but it just made sense to me.

What about the white queen?

OK, now it's going to get a bit crazy.

Let's look down again where the white queen and black knight are shown, and let's see what is said.

“Nothing will hurt you here” is referred to O!Ciel, so who could be a threat to him?

Sebastian, of course (in that same moment in the manga he was trying/considering eating him, his goal is to devour Ciel's soul at the end) but is also shown the white queen???

A queen who could hurt him?

Yeah so I think it represents Queen Victoria. Why?

My theory is that on the chessboard she is part of O!Ciel's enemy faction (she is not R!Ciel's ally at the moment and she wasn't involved with the blue cult arc since Undertaker despises her lol) because she could be connected with the events of the twins’ tenth birthday.

There are too many coincidences about 14 of December: Prince Albert's death, the twins’ birth, the attack. A lot of theories here on tumblr explain it really well.

And the other pieces? I don't think it's too crazy to assume that all 4 stars may be present on the board: Sirius, Vega, Canopus and Polaris.

2 of them are already there-> Sirius (both Ciel) and Canopus (Doll).

We now know that Vega is Layla, so she could be PAWN 2 or the ROOK based on her future role/importance(??)

Polaris has yet to be revealed but I believe it could be Joker who is already the white BISHOP, an important piece who is however not linked to the royal court but to a different master, who in his case is Baron Kelvin.

For my first post, it got waaay too long, so maybe I should explain in different posts all my theories on the queen's role, Polaris' identity, etc.

I hope it wasn't too chaotic 😅

ciel phantomhive x f!reader, she finds out that she’s actually a bizzare doll and is horrified and shocked. what would Ciel’s reaction be

Dolls of Unknown Origin - Ciel Phantomhive

A/N: Posting two days in a row? Yep! Because I have like 3-4 finished requests ready to post and I want to stick to posting every Friday but I hate making people wait for so long, so I may just post all the ones I have done this weekend and then spend the rest of my time finished all of my requests. That way I can get back to writing my own little things! I made this a hc because I wasn’t 100% confident in my ability to make this a decent one-shot. Hope that’s ok!

How were you supposed to know that you were one of the creatures that were killing people left and right?

Sure, you don’t remember anything past just a few months ago, when you first met Ciel in London

He had found you unconscious in an alley near Undertaker’s Parlor, and somehow you ended up traveling with him and Sebastian

You were upset at first because you seemed to have lost your memory, but eventually came to terms with it

You’re on the Campania investigating with Ciel and Sebastian and weird creatures are attacking people

And Undertaker is there. He’s one of the few people you remember before being found by Ciel

That whole fight is going down, where Undertaker reveals that he is a reaper

And that’s when he also confesses that you are one of the bizarre dolls

He admits to everything. That you were brought to the parlor after your death, and he was bored and wanted to try and bring you back to life, except he thought his little experiment had failed and so he dumped you in a nearby alley

Which, to be fair, his experiment failed in the fact that you weren’t stumbling around killing people, but you were in fact brought back from death

You were left to contemplate your entire existence as Sebastian grabs you and Ciel and makes a run for it

Ciel is just as shocked as you are

But I also feel like he would be chill with it as long as you didn’t start killing people

When it’s all said and done and you’re left sitting in a rescue boat with an injured Ciel and Sebastian, you try to apologize and even try to convince them to finish you off, seeing you’re a monster

But they reassure you that as long as you act human and don’t turn murderous, you’re ok

Besides, what’s one more supernatural being going to do to the staff at Phantomhive Manor?

I have a Question: How did you come up with the ship Maurice X Doll?? Like... How would they meet in the canon?? (Not in the RB Au)

Literally only came up with it because Doll was swapped with Joanne and because I thought it would've been funny if RB!Maurice had a crush on someone to the point he'd do anything for them include like altering his own appearence if it made Doll like him more (full on selfless, something canon Maurice isn't and would definitely fucking hate RB!Maurice for it)

But like if we're talking canon Maurice and Doll, I did thought something for how they would've met and such so here: I'm thinking the only way they'd meet is at the circus. Like Maurice's older sibling dragged him to go with them and after the show was over Maurice was left alone for a moment because their sibling went to do something rq and told him to stay there. To why Doll approached him was because one of Snake's snakes got away suddenly and started slithering to Maurice and Doll panickily ran to him (because a snake slithering in the open to a guest and possibly scaring them wouldn't be a good look on the circus) and yanked the snake from under his feet which caught his attention immediately and they started talking from there. And bonus I think Maurice actually likes animals alot and Doll snuck him into the back to meet the other snakes without anyone noticing (Besides like Snake cause yk). And then their lil friendship started there And because they wanted to stay friends with eachother, they wrote letters to eachother constantly about their day and what they're up to just to keep in touch with other. That is until Maurice stopped receiving letters because Doll died and he never found out so he just figured Doll either got sick of him or she forgot about him lmaooo. And to makes things better, I like to believe Doll was Maurice's first and only actual friend he has made because other kids never really liked him so you could imagine how he felt went Doll just stopped writing to him

#I came up with this headcanon the otherday but this is gen the only way I think these two would've met and interacted in canon #and no Maurice literally never finds out Doll is dead plus what makes it funnier is Ciel actually finds out Doll was Maurices first friend #so you just see him sweat like oh! *proceeds to speed walk away*#I could make a lil comic about this too if I ever feel like it but idk lmao #black butler #kuroshitsuji #red butler au #maurice cole #doll #freckles #black butler maurice #black butler doll #black butler freckles #dollice #maureckles #maurice x doll #maurice x freckles #mono ask

One Hell of a Love (Book 2) Chapter Twenty-Five

Sebastian Michaelis x Demon! Reader

Chapter Twenty-Five: One Hell of a Confession

Summary: As the Campania sinks, (Y/N) and Sebastian face the remaining reanimated corpses.

As the Campania fell into two pieces, (Y/N) and Sebastian leapt out of the ship pieces. Ciel clung to Sebastian, and the demons ran up the deck of the ship to the tip of the bow.

“It does not seem that the bow here will hold for long either!” said Sebastian over the roar of the sinking ship breaking apart.

“Sebastian!” (Y/N) tossed him a lifesaver.

He stuck it onto Ciel, who gaped in surprise. “Take a deep breath,” said Sebastian.

“Eh?! Wha—?!” Ciel stammered.

“The situation being what it is, please do forgive me!” Sebastian lifted Ciel above his head.

“What are you do—Aaah!” Ciel cried out as Sebastian through him into the air.

Water. It just has to be water. (Y/N) took a deep breath and leapt from the bow of the Campania as it fell underwater.

The chill of water instantly seeped into them, and if they weren’t a demon, the iciness would be paralyzing. Sebastian was beside them beneath the water and nodded to a lower lifeboat that hadn’t been lowered. They swam lower and grabbed the boat. Sebastian grabbed the other end, and they pulled it to the surface. Sebastian broke away and grabbed Ciel as he slipped below the waves. (Y/N) pushed the boat onto the water, and Sebastian tossed Ciel inside. The Earl coughed and shivered.

“Please put this on,” said Sebastian, tossing his tailcoat to Ciel. “I do apologize that I cannot prepare some hot tea for you.”

Screams and cries for help pierced the night, and the three glanced over to see the people that hadn’t escaped to the lifeboats in time fighting each other to keep on the surface, nearly tearing each other apart.

“We’ll be dragged down if we go there,” said (Y/N), resting on the side of the boat.

“Let us depart,” said Sebastian.

The demons tired, bloody, pained demons pushed the boat away from the wreckage and towards the other lifeboats. Ciel sat listlessly in the boat, holding himself tight and shivering. His eyes drooped.

“Young Master!” warned (Y/N).

Sebastian called out in alarm, “You must not fall asle—!” A sharp pull on his leg had his head snapping back. A bizarre doll had his leg in its grasp and was opening its jaw. It snapped closed, and Sebastian kicked it away as it tore into him.

“These things can move in the water?!” cried Ciel. That has snapped him out of his daze.

“Since they do not need to breathe, it would follow that they also do not drown,” said Sebastian.

“That means—Mph!”

(Y/N) covered Ciel’s mouth. “Hush. I hear something.”

All around the lifeboat, bubbles broke the surface of the ocean.

“Don’t tell me…” breathed Ciel.

Hundreds of heads broke the surface. Bizarre dolls were moving towards them from every direction.

“These are all—?!” Ciel couldn’t finish the thought.

“Get in!” said (Y/N), grabbing Sebastian and pushing him up. He pulled them up behind him protectively.

A moment later, the bizarre dolls were climbing for them. Sebastian grabbed an oar and slammed through several skulls. (Y/N) grabbed the other and smashed some more heads.

“Just how many of them are there?!” cried Ciel.

“I cannot say…however they will likely only search for souls until their bodies are no more,” said Sebastian grimly.

“And that means you are the sole living human in this vicinity,” said (Y/N).

Ciel looked between the swarm of bizarre dolls and the faint lights of the lifeboats. “Then…we can’t run. If we do, Lizzie and the other survivors will be targeted. We can’t expose them to danger.” (Y/N) and Sebastian defended the boat from the next group of attackers. “Call it good fortune or ill, they seem only to attack the soul nearest to them! We will stop them here! You can do it, can’t you, Sebastian, (Y/N)?”

“(Y/N)?” said Sebastian.

“I’m with you until the end,” said (Y/N).

Sebastian smirked and glanced at Ciel. “You do not need to ask your servant,” he said. “Simply command what you will of me.”

“I command you!” said Ciel, exposing his contract seal. “Exterminate them!”

Together, (Y/N) and Sebastian spoke. “Yes, my Lord!”

Sebastian slammed through a group of bizarre dolls. “We will pitch around a bit!”

“Hang on to the boat!” said (Y/N), spinning and striking behind Ciel.

The demons showed their true colors, keeping balance on the waves as they whirled and struck and smashed skulls, blood splattering over them. Around them, countless bizarre dolls swam forward.

It was going to be a long night.

“I-Is it over?” Ciel glanced up from where he was curled on the bottom of the lifeboat. The tinges of sunlight were finally streaking the sky.

“Yes…” (Y/N) swayed and collapsed to their side.

“(Y/N)!” Sebastian went to their side, but he stumbled and fell to his knees.

Ciel’s eyes widened as he saw the demons that were usually so calm and collected feel pain and injury. “Sebastian? (Y/N)?”

“The blow of the Death Scythe was…hard, even for us,” said Sebastian, panting. (Y/N) groaned in agreement, leaning their head back in exhaustion. Sebastian’s hand unconsciously reached out to them and lay on their arm in silent comfort.

Ciel looked down and gazed at the lockets in his hand. “Undertaker…what on Earth was he after…?”

“I have no idea,” said (Y/N). “But as long as you keep that chain of lockets, I’m sure you’ll see him again.”

“He seemed to have no intention of harming you, Young Master, but personally, we could do without the reunion,” said Sebastian. He coughed up blood, and (Y/N) uselessly tried to sit up to attend him. They curled up onto their side, clutching their wound.

“This is the first time I’ve seen you two in such states,” said Ciel.

“Pardon us for being so ungraceful,” said (Y/N). “Unfortunately, we did sustain a few injuries. Next time, we’ll be more efficient as Phantomhive servants.”

Ciel scoffed fondly and looked up. His eyes widened. “A rescue boat.” A proper ship was sailing towards them. They were saved. “I can’t afford to have servants of the Phantomhive family stay in that state forever. Make sure you rest up when we return to the manor. You did well tonight.”

Sebastian and (Y/N)’s eyes widened in surprise at the praise.

“Young Master…” Sebastian smiled. “Please stop. I cannot believe I am hearing you say these words.”

“I’d prefer to not deal with another crisis today,” said (Y/N) tiredly, head leaning to the side. With Sebastian’s hand on their arm, they rested their hand on his leg and waited for the ship to arrive.

(Y/N) sighed as they stretched, finally alone in the room provided by the rescue boat. Their wounds ached as they repaired themselves, but there was nothing (Y/N) could do but use the towel provided to wipe away the blood on their skin and clothes.

A knock at their door sounded, and (Y/N) breathed in relief as they felt Sebastian’s energy. They opened the door, and Sebastian stepped in.

“How is the Young Master?” said (Y/N).

“Recovering from his bout in the cold,” said Sebastian. “The doctors deemed he simply needed rest, so I am giving it to him.”

“We deserve rest after everything we went through,” sighed (Y/N).

“It is not my place as a servant to request such a thing, but I admit that I agree,” said Sebastian.

“Well, if you’re looking to avoid rest, don’t come to me. I intend on taking it after everything I went for,” said (Y/N), stretching and wincing as their wound pulled as it sewed itself together.

Sebastian’s eyes flicked to the tear in their uniform and the injury it revealed. He felt a tide of worry for (Y/N)’s condition and anger at Undertaker rise within him. He forced his gaze back to their eyes. “Yes…everything you went through.”

(Y/N) knew him well enough to sense the undertone in his words. “Yes, Sebastian, everything I went through in this life and the last. I didn’t enjoy reliving it in the slightest.” Their eyes narrowed and flashed fuchsia. “If I am to share my past and truths of my human life, then I want to on my own terms. Not forced out of me by some reaper trying to kill me.”

Sebastian chuckled.

(Y/N) paused and looked at him. “What’s so amusing?”

“The fact that you believe I care for your human life,” said Sebastian. “You hide it because you feel the perception of your demonic self now will be tainted by the being you were then.” He leaned towards them. “But I do not care. I saw a strong witch in your memories, and I see a powerful demon now.”

(Y/N) blinked at the intensity. “You don’t care?” You don’t care that I was once a witch playing with magic, a human with no true power when it came to the eve of their death, helpless?

“I do not. Not about the difference in your power between your mortal life and your immortal one,” said Sebastian. His eyes darkened. “No, I care for the fact I nearly saw your death come again.” He reached out and brushed a hand across the skin showing in the ripped dress, tracing over the exposed skin as it finished repairing itself. “I care for the fact I almost lost you.” The hand at their stomach smoothed across their waist, and his other hand raised. Sebastian was nearly caressing their face, hovering but a centimeter above their skin. “I cannot lose you. I refuse to. Not to humans, reapers, demons, or any other creature.”

“Corvus…” (Y/N) spoke softly, invitingly. To hear such words from the demon they loved…they nearly couldn’t bear it.

“Dear Felis,” murmured Sebastian. “To see your blood…I could hardly bear it.”

(Y/N) reached up and cupped his hand, pressing it to their cheek. “And I couldn’t bear the blood you spilled. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing you.” They gazed into his eyes and spoke the words that rested for so long on their heart. “I love you, Corvus.”

Sebastian was silent for a moment, and then… “Say it again.”

“I love you.”

Sebastian pulled them to him and kissed them. He cupped their jaw and tugged their waist closer, pouring all his emotions into his act before leaning his forehead against theirs as they panted. His fuchsia eyes gazed into their catlike ones.

“I love you, Felis.”

(Y/N) pulled him back into a kiss at the words, the two stepping backwards. (Y/N) hit the edge of the bed and leaned back, and Sebastian pushed on top.

“Dear, dear Felis.” He kissed down their neck. “Dear, foolish, stubborn Felis, running into danger for a demon like me.”

(Y/N) sighed at the feeling of his canines scraping along their neck and tilted their head. “Dear Corvus, foolish enough to love a demon like you.”

Sebastian smirked. “Then allow this demon to show just how he foolish he is.” He pulled back and gazed at them, raking over their appearance partly beneath him. “I have imagined this moment vividly.”

“As have I.” (Y/N) smirked coyly and leaned back, dragging a hand up their side and sliding their skirts up to reveal their legs. “Who should show who?”

“We have all night,” said Sebastian. “I’m sure both of us have an opportunity to show their love precisely what they’ve imagined.”

“Then what are you waiting for, Corvus?” (Y/N)’s voice was a purr. “I love you.”

An invitation.

Sebastian smirked. He’d take it.

Kuro First-Person Pronouns: Layla & Al

Unlike English, Japanese has many first-person pronouns ( “I”). These often will give you information about the type of person the character is. Are they very feminine or masculine? Polite or brusque? Young or old? Are they higher or lower in the social hierarchy? How close, psychologically, are they to the listener?

It’s not uncommon for one person to use different pronouns in different situations, and that is sometimes the case in the manga, depending on the character.

These ofc get lost in translation and are something I find very interesting. So this series will go through some of the Black Butler characters and show you which pronoun(s) they tend to use in Japanese and what that says about them as a character.

[More about Japanese pronouns]

•私•僕•俺•儂•自分•我•私•僕•俺•儂•自分•我•

Layla | Al : “レイラ” | オレ*

Used By: Young Girls/Children/Adults wanting to sound cute | Casual or Polite: Casual

Used by: Men | Casual or Polite: Casual

[*Also used by Bard and Doll]

I wasn’t going to do a post on Layla originally, since I can barely even use her real name and not call her merely Lolib*tch for attempting to kill my man, but someone mentioned her and “Al,” the other personality inside her, wondering about their pronouns. I got curious, since I couldn’t remember paying much attention to this ~2 years ago when Bard’s arc started.

Lolib*tch has two personalities inside her: Layla and Al.

Layla seems to be the dominant personality, and it’s possible the body is hers (his?). She’s unique as far as the characters I’ve reviewed for this series so far in that she does not use a personal pronoun at all, but instead consistently uses her own name (レイラ ) when she needs to refer to herself.

In other words, instead of saying, “I killed him,” she’d say, “Layla killed him.” In English, this comes off as annoying and arrogant, which is probably partly why the official translation just used “I,” for her, but it has a very different association in Japanese.

In Japanese, it’s common for very young children who haven’t learned to use personal pronouns to use their name instead. So a young kid might say, “Jake wants drink” in Japanese the same way in English a younger kid might say “Me want drink” or “Want drink” bc they’re still learning how to properly use personal pronouns, too.

Because of this association, though, some girls (especially) will copy this because they feel it makes them sound young and cute, like a little kid. It’s possible Yana wanted to tie into this idea with Layla, while also cleverly disguising that she’s actually only one of the personalities in that body. Because Layla as a loli in a manga wouldn’t come off as odd using such language.

However, once Al is introduced, not only does he get a different font, but his manner of speech is very different, including his pronoun. Like Bard (and Doll), Al consistently uses オレ (ore), a hypermasculine pronoun, and his speech aligns with this.

Al seems like a stark opposite to Layla; she’s small and cutesy, he’s much more brusque and masculine. It isn’t clear whose body it is, and whether or not it’s a male body or not. The collie class appear to be all male, so it’s possible Al is actually the body’s owner and Layla is the transplant; we have no way of knowing now.

Perhaps we will see what happens to them when they’re brought back to the reaper HQ.

•私•僕•俺•儂•自分•我•私•僕•俺•儂•自分•我•

This is part of a series. More to come!

•私•僕•俺•儂•自分•我•私•僕•俺•儂•自分•我•

Hello. I love your blog very much, honestly, thank you for sharing your ideas, theories... My first language is not English, so excuse me if you don't understand everything I'm going to say. It's about Black Butler... I've been thinking and I would like to know what do you think, about the idea of the end of Kuroshitsuji where O!Ciel gives his soul to Sebastian, but his physical body becomes resurrected just like his twin brother? Do you see that idea possible? Do you think O!Ciel would learn how to live for himself and not for revenge??

Hey Anon ! Don't worry, my first language isn't English either and your English is very good ! :))

Thank you very much for reading and for the nice words (^3^) that question is very interesting.

First of all, I'd like to remind you that, for now, my favorite possible ending for Kuroshitsuji would be Seb not getting to eat our!Ciel's soul, whether our!Ciel survives or dies at the end.

Aside from that, I don't think our!Ciel's meant to become a bizarre doll, mostly because bizarre dolls are a plot point correlated with not mourning one's grief and being unable to move on.

Take UT who made it happen,

take Queen Victoria who's interested in it (for war and maybe to bring Albert back),

take any of the Parliamentarians who were afraid to die,

take even Bizarre Dolls themselves who are perfect if they have a lot of "yearning for the future"...

...and you have the main recipe for antagonists in Kuroshitsuji (UT perhaps being the sole exception since Yana said "he may not be exactly an antagonist").

Our!Ciel himself is a main character obsessed with living to get his revenge, with finding out what happened to his family 4 years ago, knowing very well that, through his contract with Seb, that means giving up voluntarily on his happiness and hope for his future.

For me, what makes Kuroshitsuji such a good story is that it establishes, despite having a demon eating souls as its main character, that getting obsessed about revenge is not a good thing, because ultimately one has to move on with their life.

Mourning is painful and takes time, but it's a process that is necessary if one intends to move on. The Bizarre Doll project in all its aspects is the antithesis of that and that's why I don't think our!Ciel, whom the story establishes is on the wrong path for being revenge-obsessed, is meant to become one.

In fact, it's because real!Ciel is a potential big bad antagonist (please read the RCMT recap post, in case you don't understand what I mean) that he's the one who became a Bizarre Doll. Just like Queen Victoria being in a contract with a demon and possibly the culprit behind Vincent's and Rachel's murders is paralleling our!Ciel wanting revenge through a contract with a demon like Seb.

It's all about parallels and about our!Ciel facing people who made the wrong choices before him, hence why 1) I'm hoping that Seb won't get to eat his soul, because 2) our!Ciel will finally admit that losing his soul to Seb is not what he wants, since only living for revenge is not exactly living in the first place [x][x] and breaking the cycle of revenge his family was caught into is perhaps his fate.

The way I see things, Yana hinting that UT may not exactly be a villain is because UT is the only character affiliated with the BD project who will maybe realize that, by not mourning dead Phantomhives, he'll lose the ones who are still alive (our!Ciel, Frances, Liz, Ed).

TL;DR for me the story calls for the failure and destruction of the BD project first and for our!Ciel to give up on the contract with Seb second, because moving on is ultimately what Kuroshitsuji is about (and don't even get me started on the fall of the Shinigami organization for the exact same reason).

So I don't know if our!Ciel will survive this story, but I certainly hope he won't become a BD, because thematically it makes no sense ! As always, I could be wrong though.

I hope I answered your questions ? Thank you again for reading and for the sweet words !! Have a good day. :))
