First i want to say how much i love your writing! I adore your ghoul lore, i read most of them at least 2 times and i can't wait to see your next work!^^

Now my ask, how would era 2/3 ghouls react to s/o or a friend that likes to help others, but because they can't say no others just like to take advantage of that, and dump their work on them? The 2 maybe had plans but they didn't show up because they were stuck doing someone else's work.

I hope this makes sanse, English isn't my first language and sometimes i have troubles putting my thoughts into words sometimes-

Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment <3 I keep rereading it because it makes me so happy. I work so hard on my extended lore and to know you like it makes me so happy!! Thank you for being so sweet!

Your request makes perfect sense :) I hope you love it!!

I'm very excited for this because I don't get to write for some of these ghouls and now I can! And just a quick link to my Ghoul list for reference of the more lesser used ghouls! --> [Link]

Era II / Era III Ghouls With an S/O Who Can't Say No at Work

((Note: I switched up the reader jobs for some of these for flavor! ))

Omega: One of the reasons Omega adored you was because of how humble you were. You made a habit of owning up to your mistakes and growing as both a person and a Sibling of Sin. But lately, it seemed like you were making more mistakes than usual. And you were suffering the consequences with extra duties. Omega realized something was wrong when he was told you were on punishment for not getting your normal chores done. Which was very unlike you. Omega gently pressed you for answers and eventually you admitted you were taking the fall for your room mate- who had the same schedule as you did. They would beg and plead with you to take the fall, always having an excuse as to why they couldn't do their chores! So you would let them take credit for the work YOU completed, and you would take the blame for work THEY didn't do. What could you do? You lived with them, and didn't want them to get in trouble! Omega was having none of it and you had one of his famous talks about boundaries and standing up for yourself. A lot of it was hard to hear, because you cared deeply for your room mate. But someone who cares about you shouldn't be making you suffer. He was more than happy to help you get a new room mate.

Alpha: At first the head fire ghoul was just convinced you were a workaholic. You always seemed ready to drop everything to go file papers or take over your abbey scheduling. Alpha was impressed by your drive and take charge ethics! He had no idea it was from a lack of help by your sibling colleagues. Had he not walked in on someone literally shoving planners into your arms he might have never known. It took Alpha a silent moment to realize the sibling was just going to make you do the work while they fucked off. Nothing could prepare you for the fire ghoul to snatch all of the books, shoving them so hard in the siblings arms they fell on their ass, and dragging you off. "Do it your fucking self!! We have plans!!" Alpha took you to finally have proper time off. And when your colleague tried to give you shit, and the other siblings you worked with tried to guilt you about it... they heard from Alpha. After that, no one really bothered you!

Water: Your ghoulish mate has never had any issue making his feelings known- especially when it came to you. He was always VERY protective of you! That's why you tried to hide from him how much your boss was over working you lately. You took an office position helping a very sour Bishop who constantly made you stay late. With either impossible standards, extra paper work, or just tasks he seemed to make up just to mess with you! You knew if you told Water, the bassist would no doubt give the Bishop a piece of his mind... or worse. And you were right! Water came in to surprise you with your favorite snack only to find you practically in tears at your desk. Your desk was PILED HIGH with boxes of papers that the Bishop instructed needed to be completed by the next day. Impossible. You could only watch in silent horror as Water gave you your snack and proceeded to take the boxes one by one into the Bishop's vacant office. You didn't hear any smashing of furniture, but soon all of the boxes were dumped all over the desk of your boss. When you asked about getting in trouble Water just shrugged. "I out rank him, what's he going to say?"

Earth: The drummer was mischievous at best and a menace at worst. And you loved that about him. It came in handy in ways you didn't expect! Lately you've had a problem with one of your office mates. You were one of the many assistants who worked under the Cardinal who was directly under Papa II. And it was a DEMANDING job with room for little error. And you had been getting shafted lately with all the late paper work the other assistants have been getting complacent with. There were so many times tasks that weren't even yours were just left on your desk last minute with no warning. And your Cardinal never listened that it wasn't your fault. Just warned you needed to do your job! Earth was not one to take this type of slight lightly. Especially having served time with Papa II, he knows the demands. So one day when you've had a rough time he puts a plan into action.... You were shocked when you went in the next day and the Cardinal was tearing into all of your co workers but regards you as ' the only competent one.' Turns out, Earth is computer and paper work savvy. He basically submitted all of that weeks work in your name and ruined your co workers work. He'd just laugh and shrug when you ask him about it. "Not like they can prove it!"

Air: You felt so silly crying to your ghoul partner, who was normally stoic and unsympathetic. But you couldn't take it anymore! You had one Sister of sin you worked with that kept pushing all of her work onto you. She constantly kept using the same unture excuses to leave early or come in late, and your over seeing Bishop would let her every time! This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't every day, and you knew it was fake! Even with proof that the sister was lying your Bishop would just tell you to suck it up and finish the left over work. Air listens to you before finally telling you that you don't have to put up with it. You're confused. You can't just tell your superior you're not doing the work. "You can either stand up for yourself, refuse to do extra work, or leave... or you can stay and let both walk all over you." The bluntness was something you were used to but... he was right. You quit your Bishop the next day, went to HIS superior, and lined up a different duty that day. Air never says it, but you can tell he's proud of you.

Ifrit: The fire ghoul is a patient and accommodating ghoul. He's fine with last minute change in plans or you having to cancel a date once in a while. But he was starting to wonder why you canceled three dates in a row. Ifrit wasn't angry at you, but he knows that's not like you to keep canceling! He was, however, furious when he found out why you weren't able to see him! You were one of the kitchen staff and you were stuck cleaning the dishes by yourself... again. Your fellow siblings who were responsible for the side work in the kitchen after the cooks would leave were constantly pawning off the dishes to you. They would do everything else but refuses to touch them! And working in a clergy full of hungry ministry, siblings, and ghouls that's a LOT of dishes every night! What's worse is that the current kitchen manager wouldn't care WHO did them, they just needed to be done. Ifrit never goes nuclear on people for no reason.. but this was one of the few times you've seen smoke come out of his ears! Ifrit drags you out of the kitchen, sits you down to have a break, and you watch him storm off. It takes him an hour but he tracks down EVERY kitchen staff sibling and makes them do the dishes for you. Ifrit snorts smoke and looks at you. "and if the manager complains, I'll fucking make him do dishes too!!" You love your big dragon ghoul so much.

Ember: Sodo could always tell when you weren't doing well. And lately, it seemed like you were burnt out and exhausted. When he told you to your face that you looked like shit and he was worried about you, you had to confess what was going on in your daily life. You wanted the other siblings to like you so much you were taking on extra chores. They constantly gossiped about other siblings who snitched, or siblings who were too worried about doing their jobs. And they made those siblings life Hell! You always wanted to be liked and had a hard time with it. You didn't want the siblings you worked with to outcast you... so you did everything they asked. And they took advantage of it. You pulled so many extra laundry shifts, sweeping times, and even taking over a kitchen shift for a week. You were tired but so afraid! Ember stared at you before demanding names. It took you an hour to convince the fire ghoul NOT to fist fight the other siblings... but he did use his status to help you. Soon you were promoted on "Papa's Request" and found a new assistant job where the other assistants were professional and very sweet. You didn't even care about the old siblings you used to be scared of. Actually, it was nice watching them actually clean all the meeting rooms you got to join!

Tide: You wouldn't say anyone in particular was taking advantage of your helpfulness on purpose. Rarely did the same Sibling you worked with ask for your help more than a handful of times. You were just the type of person who IMMEDIATELY offered to help when you heard something needed to be done! You loved to offer assistance and make everyone's lives easier. It made you feel accomplished and like a good team player! But often, you found yourself taking on too much at once. Really insisting you could get all of this extra work done! Tide had been worried about you since you started having less and less sleep. Eventually sitting you down and wondering why you take on so much. He loved that you love to work but the ghoul knows what burn out feels like. Tide was very honest and pointed out that the other siblings wouldn't think less of you if you stopped offering as much help. "I know everyone likes you the way you are. You don't have to keep doing so much."

Aether: The quintessence ghoul has tried to keep his mouth shut when it come to your 'friends' at work. You secured yourself a very nice position in one of the offices that connects the ministry to one of their book publishers. But you were constantly tired trying to 'help' your friends get their work done. It wasn't until you were laughing off the all nighter you pulled the night before trying to finish an editing job that Aether finally broke down. "Why do you always end up pulling all nighters, but your friends never help you with your projects?" You tried denying it at first but... he was right. You were constantly reviewing and editing their assignments to be sent off, but you couldn't even get them to help you work the fax machine. They were always too busy, chatting with each other, or supposedly needing to respond to emails. But they all became attentive to you when you volunteered to get coffee or proof read. Aether gave you a hug when you deflated, realizing that you weren't really a friend just an office lackey. But you were so grateful for his support when he coached you ways you could set boundaries... or just tell them to fuck off.

Stratus: You had the upmost privilege to go touring back in the day when Stratus had joined Papa Emeritus III for a short time. Stratus and you had been an item for some time and he was able to convince Papa to give you a spot as one of the touring assistants. You were warned it was going to be a lot of work, but you weren't expecting so many of the other siblings to go fucking off half of the time! You were under the impression that the Unholy mission of it all might have inspired a lot of the crew to take pride in their work. But you saw how easy it was for others to want to taste the band roadie life. While many of the crew were fantastic and helped you with learning the tricks of the road, you still found yourself picking up slack for those that would get caught up flirting with the band ghouls or messing around the fans and merch stands. Eventually you had enough and ranted to Stratus. He just watched you with a grin which made you more mad. Eventually you snapped at him, "Why do you keeping LAUGHING at me! This is serious! We have a job to do!" Stratus pointed behind you. "Because your problem solved itself." You turned and your face drained seeing a Curious Papa III, who had been listening quietly in his make up robe with his macchiato YOU made perfectly. "I think I can help with your problem, yes? Just no more yelling? Stress is not good for my complexion! Okie Dokie?" You just nodded dumbly as Papa nodded happily.

Ivy: You met Ivy when you were assigned gardening detail. A little known fact is that the Ministry is actually self sufficient in many abbeys, so they can rely on their own personal food source. So community gardens and crop harvest is actually very important for teaching and daily life. At first it was fun! Until some of the siblings also in the garden decided that talking and hanging out was more important. You asked many times for them to help you finish various jobs. Only for them to blatantly ignore you and laugh at your diplomatic pleas to just finish the work. Eventually you gave up and started deweeding and digging up the soil for new vegetables by yourself. Half way through the back breaking work, your partner Ivy showed up. The ghoul was confused as why only one person would be doing it and eventually stepped in to finish so you could take a break. When you told him everything that has been happening it pissed him off. But Ivy is not a volatile ghoul. To your horror, he calmly walked up to the siblings all chatting. To their astonishment, Ivy informs them of their write-ups and being exchanged for ministry toilet duty (yes that is real.)

Mountain: You loved that Mountain always spent time with you when he wasn't doing band ghoul work. The stone ghoul lately noticed you were picking up more time in the library. Normally this was fine for you. You loved being one of the librarians and helping keep the place running. But it seemed like you were the only one helping with it's upkeep. You were grateful Mountain would stay late at night helping you re-arrange entire giant shelves of books. Or putting in new books into your rather out dated card system. He never complained and did whatever you asked. But one night when it was your fifth night in a row re-arranging shelves Mountain finally asked why you did it by yourself. According to you, the head librarian said you were the only sibling who was reliable enough to get it done. The other siblings who only did the library because they had too couldn't care less about doing it right. And the last time they helped there were so many lost books and the card cubbies were wrecked for weeks! Mountain just listened before suggesting that it wasn't your problem the head librarian didn't get better help. At first you wanted to protest, but you realized... this really WASN'T your problem. You just left and came back the next day refreshed- happy to say you refused to do anything until proper help was found. And, to your surprise, instead of getting in trouble your over-seeing Bishop was happy to get you help. Also by putting you as the head librarian!

Mist: Mist is a quiet ghoul, she likes to watch and observe. The calm bassist is honest but she thinks about what she wants to say to you carefully. Mist noticed that you tended to be too nice, almost TOO reliable in your duties. You were one of the head siblings when it came to setting up the chapels for sermons or rituals. But all of your fellow siblings ALWAYS seemed to have an excuse of why they couldn't help! Soon, it was just you setting up by yourself for weeks. Mist eventually joined helping you, hating to see you stressed. One day she looks at you when you finished. "Why do you never stick up for yourself? Duties are supposed to be shared for a reason." That REALLY hit you hard. The next week, you (with Mist as your moral support) made it clear you were no longer covering duties for others. Some of your fellow siblings made a fuss about it, but others apologized. You've been a lot happier without the extra work! And Mist was proud of you for putting your foot down and ONLY doing work assigned to you!
