Your first sight when waking up was your boyfriend’s face and the relieved smile he gave you when you woke up.
Karno was sitting on a chair by the bed
“How long was I out for?” You asked, sitting up. It felt like no time at all.
“Four days. I was worried something had gone wrong.”
“Is that even possible?” You laughed.
“Leon said it isn’t, but I would only be able to rest when I saw you were okay by myself. How are you feeling?”
“Weird. And strangely tired.”
“That’s normal for your first few days. You might take some time adjusting.”
Karno moved to sit on the edge of the bed, and you snuggled up to him, only to be caught in a tight embrace.
“You were that worried?” You asked softly, giving him a quick peck on the lips.
“I just missed you. We haven’t spent that long without talking to each other for a while. I forgot how lonely that felt.”
He actually sounded a little embarrassed at the admission that he was feeling lonely, so you hugged him back, chuckling.
“Well, look at it this way. From now on, you’ll never be alone anymore.” You kissed his temple.
Karno sighed and laid down, pulling you almost on top of him.
“Sometimes I worry about what it cost you for this.”
“You agreed to it.” You reminded, gently kissing him. “I thought it was because you trusted me. I knew the consequences of my choice, but you know what I had to sacrifice was small compared to what both of us gained from this.”
Your job was the only thing holding you back on Earth, and it was a small sacrifice to stand by your husband’s side for the rest of time, instead of cursing him with the weight of your death.
“I do trust you. That’s why I didn’t try to convince you not to do this. I knew it was your decision to accept Leon’s offer or not.”
“It wasn’t. It was a decision that affects both of us. That was why I asked you. I already told you not to go along with things because I decided.”
Karno chuckled, caressing your cheek, before pulling you closer for a kiss.
“I didn’t. I really was fine with this change, and that was because you changed me. It was your choice, but if it had happened earlier, I don’t think I would have been able to accept it so easily. I didn’t need you to change for me, but I wasn’t as against the idea as I’ve been. I love you, and it wasn’t only because you were human. You’re the only person I could ever love, no matter what you chose to be.” Karno pulled you completely on top of him this time, giving you a quick kiss. “Now rest, my love.”
He pulled you down to lie down on his chest. You wanted to protest, but your body didn’t respond to your attempts to pull yourself up.
“Are you really going to stay like this?”
“As long as you won’t sleep for another four days.” He chuckled, caressing your hair with one hand, and the other took one of your hands, intertwining your fingers, before he pulled it to kiss the back of your hand. “We’ll have a lot of time together once you adjust.”
As much time as you wanted.
“See you tomorrow, then.” You whispered, tightening your hold on his hand. “I love you.”
You snuggled to him and let sleep claim you.

Prompts: photography | pepper | truffles (Day 21/2024)
--------------------------------------------
You sat down on your chair, opposite of Karno and placed your plate on the table. "I probably filled up my plate a bit too much, but..." You chuckled, shaking your head. "These truffles looked delicious."
"Don't humans say breakfast is the most important meal of the day?" He smiled, taking a sip of his coffee, which was devoid of all sugar. "Plus, this hotel cooks wonderful things. I can understand the need to taste as many as you can." He set his cup down and continued speaking, his dark eyes enchanting you with their rich color. "I liked the dinner they served yesterday."
You nodded, the sweet taste of the cocoa exploding in your mouth the second you bit into the truffle. "True." You replied after swallowing. "I liked their steak a lot."
He hummed, listening to your words, as he took another sip of his coffee. "Except..."
"What?" You asked, staring at him expectantly, your attention unwavering from his porcelain face. The dinning hall was overflowing with noise and the occasional clattering of silverware against plates, as the residents of the hotel enjoyed their first meal of the day, bringing life to the room, even though some of them were still sleepy.
"You know..." Karno shrugged his shoulders, gazing at you. "They could've made their dishes a bit more spicy. Maybe not all of them, but at least some of them."
You shook your head from side to side and sighed audibly. "Honey, your 'a bit' is the equivalent of knocking half of the people here unconscious."
"Come on..." He casted his eyes to the side. "It wouldn't be that bad."
"You're right," You said, supposedly agreeing with him. "it'd be even worse. All of the people here would loose consciousness." He made a little pout and you broke into a smile, that widened to a grin. "Karno...!" You laughed, your eyes squinting by your broad grin. "Honey, please, don't pout!"
He turned to stare at you from the corner of his eye and just as your laugh had calmed down, it intensified again. He broke into a smile himself, yours being contagious and stunningly vibrating. "You're certainly glowing when it comes to making fun of my taste buds."
"No, I would never..." But even as you tried to speak, your cackles made it hard to and Karno couldn't help, but follow along with your amusement, even though it was against him. "I would never! And I mean, never make fun of your deceased taste buds. That wouldn't be nice...!"
Karno folded his hands before his chest, laying back against the backrest of his chair and trying his hardest to suppress a smile, but the tears at the corners of his eyes proved his struggle. "Well," He began speaking, voice trembling by the laughter. "if you're provoking me..." He reached out and took ahold of the small bottle of pepper from the table.
Your eyes remained wide, your hand going to your mouth as you witnessed him sprinkle pepper all over his truffles. "Kar-oh, my god..." You made a theatrical gasping sound, watching him pick up a seasoned truffle and bringing it to his mouth. "Karno, is there something you want to talk about?" You asked, bursting out laughing a second after.
Karno chuckled, practically giggling himself, as he bent forward over the table.
You leaned in as well and he spoke in a low voice, once he had swallowed.
"The family of four to your right..." He paused, trying to keep his laughter under control. "I just watched the father and the mother look at me with the most terrified gazes."
You snorted, burying your lips into your hands as you laughed as quietly as possible, as to not disturb the rest of the residents during their breakfast and soon enough, tears were filling up your eyes.
Karno sat up straight again and took a sip of his coffee, his lips quivering into a smile around the rim of his cup as he did so. His eyes looked at you and softened, affection coloring his expression and becoming its perfect description. He reached a hand out towards you and you placed your hand in his, on top of the table, allowing him to wrap his fingers around it and trace the back of it with his thumb. "My ophelia, you truly are the photography of happiness, right now."

Star-Crossed Myth Fluffbruary Fanfic (27th Feb): The Surprise (Karno/MC)
Title: The Surprise
Fandom: Star-Crossed Myth
Genre: Fluff
Rating: T
Pairing: Karno/MC (MC’s name left blank so you can fill it in with whatever you wish in your head)
Word Count: 919
Written for Prompt: February 27 : table | blush | laundry for @fluffbruary
February 27th: The Surprise (Karno/MC)
Finding himself with a rare gap in his duties and alone in the reflecting pool room in the Heavens, Karno changed the imagery of the Earth below to that of the planetarium. Focussing in on his wife his initial smile faded into a frown. Whilst ___ was greeting customers with a smile and her usual upbeat voice, he could tell from her eyes that she was actually exhausted.
He hadn’t had much of a chance to head down to Earth recently but he was aware that she’d not had time to visit the mansion so much, likely meaning one of the planetarium’s big events was on. 
Biting his lip, he closed one eye as he got lost in thought. If she was overworking herself at the planetarium there must be something he could do in order to help. Maybe he could cook her a meal again? Simply using his powers seemed cheating in this instance.
Grappling with himself briefly, reminded that really he should go and make sure Leon was actually still doing his paperwork and that he should be here when Tauxolouve and Aigonorus arrived for their shift, Karno’s eyes widened as he saw ___ stumble slightly in the reflecting pool, but sighed with relief as he saw Hiyori go to check on her.
He smiled wryly to himself. That settled it. He had to go down to Earth and help his wife. If Leon found out before he got back there would be hell to pay but what mattered right now was her wellbeing.
Karno snapped his fingers.
***
At ___’s apartment a while later, grocery bags in hand, Karno took one glance around and sighed softly to himself. Piled up on the desk were the tell-tale signs of her having planned an event in intricate detail for the planetarium, and it was clear the household chores had been laid out for her to deal with when she got home. Well he would make sure there was none of that.
Preparing the dinner first and letting that start to cook as it was something where he definitely knew what he was doing, Karno then turned his attention to the rest of what needed to be done.
Well the dusting seemed easy enough so he started there, smiling softly to himself as he imagined the surprise on his wife’s face when she got home late that evening. 
He briefly glanced at the vacuum cleaner but shook his head, he wasn’t confident enough that he wouldn’t do something wrong with that right now and as far as he could see the floor actually looked alright right now.
Heading into the utility room, however, he sighed softly at the loaded laundry basket waiting to be washed. He had studied washing machines at least, the ingenuity of an automated way to wash clothes having fascinated him.
Yes, as long as he was careful, he could do this.
***
When ___ got home a few hours later, she put her key in the lock with a tired sigh. At least the event had gone smoothly but now she really needed to catch up with the housework, otherwise it would be what she would be doing all weekend.
As she stepped through the doorway and into her apartment the first thing that hit her was the intoxicating aroma of spices from food being cooked on the stove.
Initially startled, ___ quickly realised that someone being in her apartment cooking was likely to be someone she knew, and the fact that it was spice she could smell gave her another clue. “... Karno?”
“Out here!” Came a call back from the balcony.
Quickly heading over to him, ___’s eyes widened as she realised the reason why he was on the balcony was to finish hanging the washing out to dry. “.... How long have you been here?”
“How long this has taken doesn’t matter,” Karno murmured to her softly, hanging up the last piece of laundry before taking her hand and guiding her back inside. “What matters is that you can now have a relaxing evening.”
Sitting down at the table, ___ looked at him with suspicion. “How did you even know I needed help? Were you watching me from the reflecting pool again?”
Karno glanced away from her little.
“And you could have done all this with your powers and yet you decided to do it how I would… reminiscing about when we lived together?”
Looking back at her, heat rose to Karno’s face. He smiled lovingly at her. “You caught me.”
___  started blushing herself at that frank admission. Trying to hide her embarrassment, she instead blurted out, “Hadn’t you better check on the dinner?”
Ignoring that suggestion, Karno instead moved over to her, an alluring smirk on his face. “The dinner is just fine. Besides, I have an appetite for something sweet for once…”
Looking up in surprise at that comment, ___’s eyes widened further as he captured her lips in a kiss, reddening further as he realised what he had meant by that comment.
“K-Karno…” she stammered as her husband pulled away for air.
Karno simply smiled softly at her as though nothing had happened. “I’ll go check on the dinner now, you just relax. Leave everything to me this evening.”
As he headed back into the kitchen and started to dish the dinner up, Karno glanced up toward the Heavens, wondering if his disappearance had been noticed yet.
Even if this ended in a lecture from Leon, it had been more than worthwhile.

SCM - Department Of Punishment
Scorpio ♏- Dance With Me, Tonight
A/N: This is a continuation of the story Home Where The Heart Belongs. This didn't turn out as fluffy as i had hoped. Sorry about that.
For fluffbruary event ( @fluffbruary )
Prompts: graceful | volcano | blanket
12th February, 2024
~~~
Soft golden light of the morning Sun crept into the room, from the slight gap between the curtains. Opening his eyes, Scorpio was surprised to see the unfamiliar ceiling. The wall on the right side was light yellow in colour unlike the old wallpaper ridden walls of the small rented room that he had been residing in for the past three months.
Putting the pillows on the chair, and folding the blanket. He dusted the bedsheet before putting it back on the mattress. Putting the pillows and the blanket on one side of the bed he opened the curtains, before opening the window.
He took a deep breath; feeling the morning breeze brush against his face. His heart felt at peace.
Taking a warm shower and brushing his teeth; he walked downstairs to the kitchen.
You were pouring some tea in a cup. "Good morning." He said standing beside you.
"Good morning", you replied smiling,"I hope you don't mind eating oats for breakfast."
"I would love to have oats", he said returning your smile," i just need some Apples."
He washed three Apples; cutting them into small pieces. He took two bowls and filled them with the oats from the pot. Putting the bowls on the tray, beside the cups and the plate full of Apple pieces, he walked out of the kitchen. Setting the tray on the dining table he sat on the chair next to you.
Taking a sip of the warm tea, he asked, " You wrote about someone's wedding reception in the letter..."
"You remember Alice, my cousin", you took a sip from the cup, "she got married last week. Tonight she and her husband have organized a party for both of their families and some close friends. She has invited us...well me, but i would like to go with you." you said. The tone in your voice hopeful.
"It's ok if you don't want to." you added quickly. Scorpio shook his head and smiled,"I would like to go there with you." He was tired, but he wanted to spend sometime with you at a social gathering. After all who knew, this could be the very last one he ever attends.
After finishing your breakfast you washed the dishes and started chopping some vegetables. Scorpio prepared lunch which you two ate in silence around 12 PM.
The rest of the afternoon was spend, sitting on the sofa in the living. He told you how the lives of the ordinary people had been affected, in great details. Details which had not made into the newspaper paper. People were suffering.
-
The party was being held in a ball room of an enormous hotel. The hotel once had many clientele, but now most of it's rooms were empty. The few staff members who still worked there greeted the guests.
Once all the guests had arrived and were introduced to each other. The staff members brought a few musical instruments and started playing. One played the Harp, another the Cello, another the Violin, and another played the Piano.
"Grandma let's dance." a little girl said. Her grandmother was smiled, as the girl lead her, to the middle of the room and started dancing.
Seeing them some of the couples starting dancing as well. Soon Alice held your hand and started dancing. Her light pink dress and your blue dress swinging as you two moved gracefully across the dance floor. Scorpio sat on a chair watching you dance. He was never much of a dance after all.
Alice wishpered something in your ear and you both started laughing. It's been months since you have laughed like that. Scorpio smiled, recalling the memories of the first-time he had ever danced with you. Soon those memories started to fade as a dreadful thought came to his mind.
The song was coming to an end.
Scorpio walked up to you. Offering you his hand,"Will you dance with me, my lady?" He even tried to put on a princely accent, but miserably failed at it, making you and Alice giggle. He smiled, hiding his embarrassment. But his cheeks turned red as soon as you said," That would be my pleasure, sir." Alice laughed; her laughter only made his ears turn redded.
You two danced slowly; in perfect harmony. As the song came to its conclusion, you softly kissed his temple. " I love you." he wishpered. His voice filled with emotions which he found too difficult to express. " I love you too, Scorpio. " you said as a drop of tear slipped from the corner of your eyes, which you quickly brushed away.
Music flowed through the room like breeze; warm and comforting. You took the lead and he followed. The soothing sound brought a sense of peace in your hearts. No matter what tomorrow held, tonight, in this moment both of you were together.

Hello. The zodiac gods ( individually) cheated on the mc with a goddess. They broke up. He thought she will come back, two months later mc had an accident and he went to check on her in the hospital, only to find she has started dating her childhood friend. Mc doesn't want to see him so he wrote a apology letter and handed it to him ( mc's lover), promising he will never bother them again.
Please please please make it angst for zodiac gods( individually) 🙏 and a happy ending for mc and her boyfriend. Thank you.
Moving On
Synopsis: After a break-up with her god, MC relies on her childhood friend for love and support. However, after getting into a tragic accident that could have been avoided, her ex zodiac returns with a letter… But what does it say?
✨Masterlist✨ Gender-neutral goldfish!
A/n: I did this one a little differently where I opened up with the god and then just wrote their individual letters to you. 💕 I've always wanted to try writing a letter from a character's POV. And this one just so happens to be an angsty letter.  🤭 (I decided to finish writing this one while I’m busy being a designated ambulance driver.)
–Word Count: 3,684–
His heart ached since the day you broke up with him. It was safe to say you had changed him for the better… Until he abused your love. He hadn't meant to… Hadn't he? You accused him of cheating on you; but that wasn't what it was, was it? 
He was doing his job as a Zodiac god. It wasn't like he meant for you to see an unpleasant side of his work where he had to satisfy the greedy, power-hungry gods and goddesses of the Heavens. It wasn't his fault, and therefore he was sure you'd return to him in time. After all, he was familiar with the saying “time heals all wounds.” 
Once you'd return, then he'd be able to tell you how it was just a big misunderstanding. But until then… he'd wait. He knew better than to push your boundaries. That would only make you twice as upset with him, and he didn't want to prolong this suffering and heartache. 
Though… two months had already passed, and dread was starting to kick in. He wasn't so sure you were coming back… no one had been receiving your wishes and you hadn't reached out to a single god, as if you were purposefully cutting yourself off from his life. 
The only news he received in two months… was that you were in a horrible accident, leaving you unconscious at the hospital.
His heart stopped at the news… He wanted you to come back… not for you to leave him like this! But, he soon came to realize that while you never came to him, he couldn't go back to you—not as things were, anyway. 
So… He came to realize… you started dating your childhood friend in his absence. He couldn't blame you; a human was sure to be better for you than a careless god. Still, he wasn't so concerned with this human, as long as they were there for you and made you happy. 
With the way things progressed, he was sure you wouldn't want to see him again now that you were content with your own life away from him. Still, this accident was a wake-up call for him and he realized how he needed you to understand how he felt before something unforgivable happened to you. At the very least… he wanted to amend the way things ended between you. 
He couldn't speak to you, but at the very least, he brought a letter to your new partner… grateful that they accepted to take it for you. Though they were probably only so generous with him because he promised never to bother the two of you again. Only, you wouldn't know he promised himself to watch over you from the Heavens. He was just glad to have been able to see you once more in person and give a last farewell. Still, he couldn't help but wonder what you'd think of his letter… and if you'd graciously forgive him. 
♌️♌️♌️
Leon’s Note: 
I despise unnecessary work… and I especially despise the human that took you away from me. What can he provide that I couldn’t? No one can possibly make you feel better than I could—especially a human.
But… I suppose this human can treat you better… Can’t he? 
I’ve been finding myself wondering if you would have been happier if I had been a human—senseless thoughts. It would have always ended this way, with you in another’s arms. Your love was never meant for a god like me… You’re such a fragile goldfish with such an open heart, and I’m an undeserving god. 
I’m not writing this to demean you, or look down on your race, despite the bluntness of my words. Truthfully, though I’ll never be able to say these words to you in person, I want to apologize to you. You may remember… my adoration for your tears. I only never wanted to see you cry of heartbreak because of something foolish I did to hurt you.
In response to your pain, the goddess was punished for causing needless anguish in your life. Still, I wish I could have done more to salvage what was broken. 
I won’t mess up next time, I promise. I’ll make sure you’re happy above all else, even with a human. But, should you wish for me again… Well, I’m always listening.
♋️♋️♋️
Karno’s Note: 
(Name)... There’s a lot I should probably be apologizing for. I knew it would be difficult as a vice minister with a human. I knew there were many cultural differences—though I’m sure I understood more about your human culture than you probably understood of us gods. I should have been more attentive to your lack of knowledge… I took a lot for granted…
I wish I had the time to change that when we were still together; though, I’m sure you wouldn’t have accepted the way gods handled such situations. You’d have never accepted the way I was obligated to serve certain noble classes, especially the goddesses who sought to court the ministers and vice ministers. Regardless of race, despite the fact that I was taken by anyone, it didn’t change my position above these gods and goddesses.
I’m sorry I couldn’t be what you needed… and I’m sorry I can’t be there for you and be the one you need now. I’m sorry you had to go through unnecessary heartache because of me. 
It seems I’m always putting you through pain… 
Maybe this human you're with will be better for you. Better than me. At least you’re both of the same human culture. At least he never hurt you, as I have time and time again…
I could never fully express how sorry I am… but I hope for you to always be happy. I won’t interfere this time.
♒️♒️♒️
Huedhaut’s Note:
This isn't the first time this has happened, is it? I'm so familiar with being made to follow orders from the King that I’ve let you down again. I should know how you feel after I saw you dancing with Zyglavis the first time the King’s orders interfered in our relationship. Jealousy isn’t something pleasant and you must feel it often… 
None of it should have happened, and I shouldn’t have allowed it to continue happening time and time again. I would have stayed loyal to you rather than the King had I known my loyalty to him would cost me your love.
I’m always making foolish decisions—too firmly believing that you were destined to be mine after we found each other not once, but twice. 
I should know better than anyone that fate is cruel. 
But, please, more than anything, I want you to live freely without worrying about me. Above all else, I wish for nothing but your happiness, even in the arms of another. You deserve someone who won’t break your heart as I have.
I may be considered the smartest man in the Heavens, but sometimes I can accomplish the most ridiculously foolish things. 
Alas, you don’t have to worry about me anymore. Be happy and carefree, as I originally wished for you when I first set your soul on the wheel of rebirth. Be happy without me. Be happy for me, for you are my happiness—and you always will be.
♉️♉️♉️
Teorus’ Note:
I’m really sorry… You were right with your first impression of me. I’m a horrible god who’ll never learn from my mistakes, no matter how hard you ever tried to teach me. 
I regret not having frozen time for the two of us… missing out on the opportunity to be with you for an eternity.
I meant what I said when I told you the stars aligned billions of years ago for the two of us to meet. I’ll never take that back. 
Despite how it might have seemed from my actions, I genuinely loved you—I always will. You’re always going to be a part of me now and my heart will always solely belong with you, it always was. 
I’ll never love the same again, but if I do, I’ll try better. I’ll try to be more like you, (Name). You love purely and do everything with care—you always made sure you never pushed his or any of the other gods’ boundaries, no matter what the situation was. You were always so admirable…
I should have taken care of you the same way you carefully took care of me… I’ll never forget any of the lessons you’ve taught me, and I’ll to become a better god—a better man.
♑️♑️♑️
Aigonorus’ Note: 
I told you my story… about how I fell in love with a goddess… and, yet, she only loved me and wanted to be with me for a reason as selfish as my position in the Department of Wishes. Heartbreak is a horrible thing, and I wish you never had to go through it, especially because of me. 
I only ever wanted to give you the world, (Name). If only I hadn’t had to situate myself with that goddess for a stupid situationship enforced by the other gods for that goddess to be allowed to work in the palace. Just for making me ruin my relationship with you, I don’t think she deserves to work in the palace.
I’m not trying to make an excuse for my actions. I should have told you before any of it even started. I… would have told you… If only I didn’t hesitate… You wouldn’t have found out the wrong way at the wrong time. 
I understand that it’s too late, but I can’t help but wish for your forgiveness anyway. If only to fix when I didn’t mean to break… Still, as long as you’re happy, I’m okay with whatever you choose. I hope you never have to experience that kind of pain again.
♐️♐️♐️
Tauxolouve’s Note: 
(Name), I have to first say that I don’t blame you for anything that’s happened; rather, I blame myself for not making better of the situation I was in. I don’t deserve your forgiveness, nor do I want it. I hurt you and you found someone better, simple as that. 
Still, I never felt like I was stuck between two worlds more than when I had to choose my position as a Zodiac god over my relationship with you. It only turned out to be a costly exchange…
I needed to maintain my position to keep seeing you, but it turned out to be my desperation that led to you hating me. The irony is cruel.
Still, as long as you’re prioritizing what you need to be happy, I’ll support you. Even if you wish to never see me again or even think of me, I’ll support your decision. If you want me in your life as a friend, I’ll accept that role too. I just want you to be happy and live the life you deserve; that’s all I ever wanted for you. Just remember, I’ll always be here to grant your wishes. 
♎️♎️♎️
Zyglavis’ Note: 
I know I should have seen this coming… However, ruefully, I should accept this punishment. I always put work above everything, I always prioritized my punishments. Above all, I was never heavy-handed enough to do what needed to be done the first time, always foolishly hoping that things would be mended on their own. 
This time, I ruined everything. Yet again my world crumbles around me and I’m left isolated from both man and god; and again… I was the cruel minister of punishments that you’ve always seen me as. 
I only hope you didn’t mistake my actions as a punishment to you. You were never deserving of such pain; you were perfect as you were. I ruined something entirely pure…
But I suspect this may be better for you in the long run. You found a human who can take care of you and make you happy; one who isn’t a minister that has to constantly take work over precious time I could have spent with you. This human can be there where I was not, so please, I encourage this new relationship you’ve made. 
As you’ve joked in the past, I may be a worrywart and a stick in the mud… But I will watch over you and punish any who bring you harm.
I recognize that I brought you harm, and I don’t wish for forgiveness. I deserve the pain that was inflicted upon me and remains to haunt me from all those centuries ago. 
Almost losing the Earth to darkness because of a mistake I made… and then doing the same thing again but to you… I deserve this punishment. I need to learn and grow, above all else. I can only thank you for teaching me valuable lessons in our time together. I hope to learn more as I carry you in my heart. 
♏️♏️♏️
Scorpio’s Note:  
First of all… I can’t believe you left me for a human. It makes my blood boil… Should that bastard ever do you wrong in any way, I’m going to take care of them swiftly. 
But… I understand why you left me, I won’t blame you for it and I’m not mad at you. I was too loyal to the King. Listening to this order and that order, doing things you’d never approve of… And they were all things I second guessed… because I knew you wouldn’t approve of what I was doing for that filthy trickster. Guess I was right… since everything ended in an instant the minute you caught me and found out everything.
I never felt such intense emotions before. My chest ached and I felt like my heart was shattering in my chest as I watched your heart break and crumble in front of my eyes… I didn’t know loss could hurt so hard; I never had anyone to lose before you. I hate it. Still, I had to convince myself that you weren’t lost—not in the way humans use the word… not yet. So I needed to take this opportunity to tell you how I felt before anything worse happened—like really losing you… I needed to tell you how much I still love you…
But I know I never deserved your love. I never understood why you would give it to someone like me, someone who didn’t know what love was until you showed up. Despite your efforts to teach me, I still failed to provide what a lover should… My loyalty should have been to you, not that lousy King.
I’m sorry, (Name). So, I won’t bother you anymore. Don’t worry about me. Focus on that human who knows love and will be able to give you what you deserve and who deserves your love in return.

Dui’s Note: 
Ever since you left, I keep thinking… I always thought it would have been Shadow to be the one to scare you away. I thought you’d leave because of my split personality, not because of something I was forced to do.
I’m sorry for hurting you like that… You probably had no idea how much pain I was in to see you cry and run from him—of course, I wouldn’t have deserved that much consideration when you were in more than enough pain because of me. Shadow emerged not long after, nearly getting us in trouble by attacking the goddess who caused all this. But I didn’t have the heart to go after you once we’d calmed down.
If anything, I’m just happy you were able to find someone else. In fact, I’m glad this person used to be your childhood friend; that makes me all the happier for you. If it makes it easier for you… I’ll stay away and you can forget about me. I just what you to have the best.
—sCRibbLeD WriTiNG— (Shadow Dui’s Note:)
I’M SORRY~
I didn’t mean for any of this to happen! I didn’t want you to leave me. You’re the only one who truly accepted and loved me. Even Dui resents me for existing because you’re gone. 
I can’t make it without you, my only love—mOrE SCribBLeS— I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I just… want you to smile again. I want to banish the image of you crying from my memory. Please, please, be happy. Be the happiest… Just… smile again… please…
♓️♓️♓️
Ichthys’ Note:
I want you to live a life you won’t regret, first and foremost. I love your smile and always want you to wear one. I want you to laugh, it’s one of my favorite sounds… 
Though… I regret that I’ll never be able to experience any of these things again. I envy the one who’ll be privileged enough to be by your side all the time.
But I know you loved my smile too… I find it hard to do that without you by my side. I never smiled for that goddess, never did anything to please her. She wasn’t the one I loved and I’m sorry I had to do that to you. It wasn’t a bad joke, I swear! It was just that I owed the King and my parents a lot; that included acting like a ‘proper Zodiac god’ and treating noble goddesses with respect. 
But now, all I can do is bask in the regret of losing you. I’ll try not to mope. I promise I’ll still pull pranks on the other gods. I’ll still laugh and smile for you… only you. I’ll keep living because you always wanted me to. Hopefully… you can live happily too… and maybe come to forgive me some day. 
♍️♍️♍️
Partheno’s Note:  
I knew dating you would come with trials—I’m not saying you were difficult to be with, rather, the opposite way around. I was a demon and I’d done horrible things to you; it was only a matter of if and when he made another wrong move that you’d forsake me. It was only sooner than I had time to prepare for…
I was still a Zodiac god, after all, and I was still sought after by goddesses… Of course, fate would be so cruel as to allow you to catch me with a goddess pinning me to my own bed. I know you probably don’t want to recall the sight, but you have to understand that I couldn’t fight back then; I couldn’t do anything that seemingly a demon would do. You understand, don’t you? That these goddesses would be willing to cry wolf if I didn’t give them what they wanted.
It was cruel… but it was all for you, didn’t you realize? In pleasing the gods, I was able to stay in the Heavens and keep you… But either way, my efforts brought me down. Those goddesses used me… You left me…
I’m not asking for pity or forgiveness. I’d support you no matter what you chose, even it was to be without me. 
But I knew you wanted a better life for me than what I was living as a demon, I’ll continue to try and make a better life as a god for you. I’ll do everything… anything for you. Though… if that human ever does anything to you, I’ll gladly revert to a demon and end the pathetic thing’s life. But don’t worry, it’s only a contingency plan. 
As long as you take care of yourself and do what makes you happy, I’ll gladly leave you be if it’s your wish. So, as long as you know… my heart is always for you, whether you choose to forgive me or not.
♈️♈️♈️
Krioff’s Note:  
I kind of understand what happened… You left because I was forced to please some worthless goddess… But didn’t you understand that I’d have put you in that goddess's palace in a heartbeat? Or… did you think I’d truly be seeing someone behind your back?
Well, that’s beside the point. You’re with someone else now—a human. You have other things to focus on and I don’t want your forgiveness anyway. If I’m to be alone, I want to suffer for what I’ve done to you. I deserve the same heartbreak I unintentionally bestowed upon you. You… who is entirely undeserving of pain. 
I’m used to getting hurt. I’ll take all the pain and suffering the world could give me if only for you to be pain-free and happy. You deserve nothing less. In fact, anyone who hurts you only deserves the worst, that includes me. 
If you’re trying to look for a positive outcome of this like I am… At least now, you’ll never have to deal with my dad again. No god or goddess deserves such an encounter…
But as long as you smile and are able to live your best life, this is okay.

Miss Me, Miss Me, Now You Gotta Kiss Me
Tumblr media
FEATURING : L365 Men (EITM, MLFK, SITS, KBTBB, SCM, KOP, BUM, MFW, LLFTX) + CoD Men
GENRE : CRACK FLUFF
C/W : FEM!MC AND MENTION OF THE WORD K!LL
LIBRARIAN'S NOTE/S : an entry for the Voltage Fandom Content Creation Challenge hosted by @voltagefandomproject. I sincerely apologize for posting very late. this is written in 2nd pov and I apologize in advance for grammatical errors and if some characterizations are off since all insights are based on ms1 stories, snippets, and other fanfics/thoughts from others. if other LIs are not here then that means I am too uncertain about their personality. other than that, enjoyy~~
NOTES & REBLOGS ARE ALWAYS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED ^^
Tumblr media
SCENARIO
Wherein MC impulsively sings “Miss me, miss me, now you gotta ki—” once he returned home after a long trip but you stop yourself from finishing it upon realizing what the next words were. Your face flushed red from the embarrassment. (This can also apply if you just start singing it out in the blue).
Tumblr media
HIS REACTION!
1. He will tease you and say "Now I gotta what?" He knows full well what the next words are, and he will not stop teasing you about it, not until you say the next words
Miyabi, KYOGA, Ayato Hidaka, Ichiya Misono, KYOHEI RIKUDOH, Nagito Aoshima, Eisuke Ichinomiya, Ota Kisaki, MITSUNARI BABA, Leon, Teorus, ICHYTHYS, Tauxolouve, Yosuke Sagara, SHUN RANDOH, Yuma Akagi, TAKAMASA SAEKI, FENN LUXURE, Roy Invidia, and Jasper Lane
No doubt that they would tease you to death, you missed him and he knows it
It is an ego boost for them
I put Leon in both 1 and 2 knowing that he would possibly do it in that order, like you say it > he kisses you > he says number 2
Saeki might even go "Awww, my honey missed meee~~"
I personally think that Fenn would be the biggest tease among everyone. He finds it so amusing that he'll laugh and he won't even try to hide it.
Roy and Jasper will feign cluelessness while teasing you into saying it
Tumblr media
2. Much like number one but instead of waiting for you to say it, he will just kiss you and then say "If you wanted a kiss, all you had to do was ask" bro will be smirking at you
Shinra, HIROKI ENIWA, IORI ENJO, Kota Igarashi, EISUKE ICHINOMIYA, Mamoru Kishi, Leon, Scorpio, PARTHENO, Kiyohito Shirakami, Yamato Kougami, and GUY AVARI
I put Eisuke in both numbers knowing that it is possible because I feel like he would do 1 and 2 in that order
Shinra, Kota, and Kiyohito might even blush about it, especially Shinra who would act cocky about it all the while he is blushing
You know Hiroki's princely-like pose where he raises his head with a subtle smirk, that's what he would look like while saying it
Okay, Kota is not the type to smirk but like do his expression where he puts his hand over his face and blush
Tumblr media
3. He knows what the next words are, he is amused. He found it cute and kissed you
Chikage, SAMON, MAKOTO MORIMACHI, Ryo Chibana, Soryu Oh, HUEDHAUT, Dui, KARNO, Zyglavis, Taki Kozaki, Takao Maruyama, Kenshi Inagaki, Toa Qelsum, TINO VALENTINE, and Lou
Samon, Makoto, and Karno would probably even pat your head after giving you the kiss
You know the soft doting look that Makoto has, yes that's what he would look like
Tino might even blush about it and I think that he probably chose to stay quiet so as to not embarrass you any further because he is considerate like that
Huedhaut and Lou would definitely chuckle at your behavior
Tumblr media
4. "Yeah? Now I gotta what?" He is genuinely clueless, so you gotta tell him and finish the sentence if you really want that kiss
Chikage, Yukinojo, Takamune Kitami, RIKU MORIMACHI, Takashi Ninagawa, Soryu Oh, Rhion Hatter, AIGONORUS, Yonghua, REN SHIBASAKI, LYNT AKEDIA, Toa Qelsum, and Grayson Hotz
Chikage, Soryu, and Toa are literally so similar because of how cool and distant they are. Moreover, knowing these three, I feel like they are in between 3 and 4 because those three are also like so smart, no shot, they are unaware, but they're quite dense sometimes so-
Riku, Aigonorus, and Lynt are quite the airheads so you literally have to spell it out to them, but I wouldn't put it past Riku to feign cluelessness just to tease you
In the case, that Soryu is in a good and he knows what the next words are but you aren't saying them then he will probably say, "You might wanna say it unless you want me to misunderstand and think I want to kill you." but we all know that he wouldn't do that because he even refuses to point a gun at a woman. He is respectful and principled like that
Nah cause even though half of these men are smart-asses, you sometimes just have to spell it out because of how absorbed they can get from their passions; like Takamune with soccer, Takashi with music, etc.
Tumblr media
5. Another one who is genuinely clueless but will still kiss you nonetheless because they missed you too
Yukinojo, Rhion Hatter, KRIOFF, and RIO VOLERI
Okay, so I put Yukinojo here as well cause I really feel like he might be clueless but whether he'd push you to say it or not is something I'm not sure cause he does not seem to be the forceful type either and would be the type to think/reason "If you wanted to tell me, you would, but if you didn't then you must have your reasons".
For Rhion, same reason as Yukinojo, but I think he also leans more toward the curious type. Depending on the topic, he might press for answers, but he doesn't seem that pushy either.
Krioff is a gentleman, and I don't think he would push you to say it either unless he senses something amiss or bad about it.
Rio would definitely let out a hearty laugh since he sees you lightly blushing. He'll say, "Hahaha! Whatever that is, you're right, I missed you." or somewhere along those lines before kissing you.
Tumblr media
6. "Ha? You're only saying that because you're the one who misses me." He missed you but won't admit it
RIN YAKUMO, TAKUTO HIRUKAWA, AND KNIGHT
Okay, hear me out, I put this specifically for them because of how Tsundere they can get. (Again, this is all according to what I've observed from them, and I haven't read Knight's route yet, but he literally gives me Tsun-Tsun vibes).
There is no way that those two are not blushing while or after saying that
Mention that he is blushing, and he will blush twice as much
Tumblr media
!! DO NOT REPOST ANYWHERE ELSE !! THIS IS THE PROPERTY OF YUUNEMI !! IT DOESN’T CLAIM TO OWN THE CHARACTERS THAT BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS !!

Quarantine Blues
Ok y’all so this is my first fic I’ve ever written... If anyone even reads this, feel free to give some feedback. I have some other fic ideas, and depending on how this goes I may or may not write those too. I think it’ll become obvious this is based off my real life circumstances - and I figured if the fic you need doesn’t exist, make it yourself right?
Karno x Reader, hurt/comfort
cw: depression, quarantine, some swearing
It was a dark, lonely night. I had been trying and failing to concentrate on my homework for hours, but to no avail. This quarantine was getting to me, seeping into my spirit and stealing away any amount of positivity and productivity I might have felt.
I am in my last semester of university. Actually, at this point I am only two weeks away from everything being finally over. But the pressure of finals, quarantine, and the reemergence of my depression is getting to me, and I am breaking down.
I sigh for probably the hundredth time in the last hour. I was getting nowhere, and the longer I sat here the more I wanted to just throw my laptop across the room, pack a bag, and go find some cabin in a woods somewhere and make my fate secluded from society.
I cast my gaze up to the night sky, trying to find some source of comfort. Immediately, my eyes are drawn to the familiar stars of the Cancer constellation. I sigh again, but this time not because of the homework.
Karno… I miss you.
I’m sure he is working harder than anyone in the heavens at the moment. I haven’t seen any of the Zodiac gods since this pandemic started, and I doubted I would anytime soon. I smile to picture Karno attempting to talk down Leon as he ripped into Zyglavis. Karno waking up Aigo for the thirteenth time that day. Karno staying up all hours of the day to make sure the department ran smoothly.
I couldn’t help but long to see him. He was always so calm, so reassuring. I could use one of his amazing hugs right now.
Ugh! Karno is working hard right now, so you should be too!
I shake my head to rid myself of thoughts of him. I didn’t want any of my wishes accidentally making its way into the department – Leon and Teo would never let me hear the end of it. And besides, I didn’t want to distract him.
I reopen my notebook, and glance back at my laptop. I really am trying to get something done, but I end up just staring at the computer screen for who knows how long. Eventually I groan and lay my head down on the desk. It was pointless.
“Well now, that’s not a sound I like hearing from you.”
I jerk up in surprise. “Karno?!” I frantically look around my room but no one is there. “Good gods I’m going insane.”
Two warm hands cover my eyes. “Well, I certainly hope not!”
I grab his hands from over my eyes, rise from my chair, and throw myself at him. “Karno!! Why did you hide?”
“I’ll admit, I thought it might be fun to play a joke. Maybe I’ve been seeing Ichthys too much. We’re all working together right now and its a little much.” He wraps his arms around me and holds me close to his chest. I missed his hands on my waist, and felt immeasurably more complete having him in my arms.
“Now, what has gotten my darling so upset I could hear her from the heavens?” I’m quiet for a second. Now that he’s here, I feel really silly thinking about telling him anything. I mean, he’s a literal god helping keep the world in balance, and I’m freaking out over a college final? “I tried to not call to you. I’m sorry if I pulled you away from something important.”
“Nothing is as important to me as you.” He whispers, making direct eye contact with me. He pulls away slightly, but only to guide me to my bed. He pulls me back close to him as we settle down. “Tell me what is wrong?”
“It’s silly.” “It’s not silly if it’s bothering you.”
“I guess its just… I can’t concentrate on anything. I can’t do anything right now either. I’ve been writing the same report for the last week. Usually something like this would take me three hours, not three days!”
“Why can you not concentrate?”
“The… uncertainty of the whole situation! This is an important coming of age time for me. Graduating college is huge for humans! And now everything is on lockdown, nobody is hiring, classes suddenly moved online, my work shut down… All within a week! And now its been six weeks, I’m still not recovered from the whiplash, and this room of mine has become a damn prison.”
He tugs me closer. “I’m so sorry, beloved. If you don’t want to worry about school anymore, you just have to wish it.” “You’re sweet… but I can’t do that. I have to do this work myself – otherwise I may have the degree but I won’t have earned it.”
“And that is why I adore you so much.” He pauses thoughtfully, then asks “Is this all that’s truly bothering you? Its certainly enough to have anyone rattled, but I feel like there may be more.”
I give off a mirthless laugh. I should have known he would notice something. He was too damn perceptive. “Maybe you’re right about that.”
“Mmm.” He acknowledges me, looking at me expectantly. His warm brown eyes show nothing but love and patience.
“Well… I don’t think gods deal with this sort of thing really but… Are you familiar with illnesses of the mind?”
“Well, I have heard of punishment cases of humans who have lost their grip on reality and hurt other because of it. Hue has mentioned though that are lots of different ways humans can be sick, physically and mentally, and that not all of them are so violent as those instances.”
I focus my gaze on the ceiling above me and take a deep breath. He waits patiently for me to say something. When I don’t, he prompts me, “I’m going to assume you suffer from an ailment of the mind as well?”
“It’s… humans call it depression.” “And what is it like?” “It can be different for anyone… But for me I can’t concentrate, and I just want to sleep all day. And all night. And just always. Always sleep. Because everything hurts, and I don’t want it to. I can’t even do the easiest assignment in the world! I can’t concentrate, and it hurts. I’m going to fail my classes and it hurts. I can’t see my family and it hurts. I can’t even take a fucking shower most days. And it hurts. Everything hurts. And it won’t stop. I can’t make it stop. I can’t make my brain shut up, and it just keeps telling me how shitty I am and-“
“Darling.” Karno calmly cuts me off. He’s taken my hand, and is slowly uncurling my fingers from my palms. I hadn’t noticed it, but I was clenching my fists so tightly that my nails had drawn blood in small crescent moons all over my palms. He rubs my back soothingly as he kisses away the tears marking my face. “How long has this been going on for?”
“All my life it comes and goes. Its… its been over a year since it’s been bad though. I was starting to think that maybe it was gone for good – it’s the longest I’ve been okay! I’ve been… good actually. I met you, I’ve made friends for the first time in my life, I’ve actually enjoyed school… But since this quarantine happened, its back. Its soul crushing, because now I know. I was naïve. It’s never going to go. It’s going to be with me forever.”
“Well. It’s a good thing I’m going to be with you forever too.”
I look up at him in shock. “Really? You don’t think I’m some kind of weirdo?” “You are a weirdo dear, but that’s because you don’t like spicy food. If we can get past that, we can get past anything.” I giggle a bit before he continues. “It breaks my heart to hear you’ve been dealing with this alone. But you don’t have to anymore, okay? Anytime you are sad, or lonely, I’m only a wish away.”
“But your work-“
“Let me worry about my work. As I said before, you are the most important thing to me.” As his words sink in, they fill me up to the brim and spill out as tears. “Please don’t cry anymore, my love. I’m here.”
“Can you just hold me?”
“Of course.”
I stay in his warm embrace, and close my eyes to inhale his scent. I could never quite place what he smelled like – probably something too divine for the likes of earth. It smells like citrus and… cinnamon, maybe. He runs his hands through my hair as I cry, and he murmurs soft words of comfort and love until I fall asleep there in his arms.
In the morning, my eyes are sore and puffy from the night before. I wake up warm and comfortable, and I realize Karno is still wrapped around me. Noticing I’m awake, he smiles gently “Good morning.” “You’re still here? I thought you would have left after I fell asleep?” He raises a questioning eyebrow. “Did you want me to?” “No!” I protest, probably a bit too quickly.
He smiles and gives me a soft, slow kiss.
“I do have to be going, my love. But I have a parting gift for you.”
“You do?” I look up at him curiously.
“Indeed. Do you remember my special power?” I nod my head, of course I do. “Well, I figured the least I can do is magnify your happiness, and productivity.” “But I thought that you could only magnify exiting properties… I don’t have either of those right now.” “Oh?” Karno smirked. “Then are you unhappy right now to see me?”
“No!”
“I know you, dearest. I know you are positive, and you are one of the most self-motivated people I know. They’re in there.” He leans over ad gives me a kiss on the forehead. Immediately, I feel a lightness and a warmth suffuse my body. “Remember my love, I am but a wish away.” He gently caresses my cheek, and I close my eyes to his touch. When I open them again, he’s gone.
I was sad to see him go, but no longer lonely. In fact, I felt better than I had in weeks. My love for him filled my chest until I felt like bursting.
Well then. Best not to waste a divine gift.
Time to kick an essays ass.

Decorating a Christmas tree-----SCM
Christmas Countdown--- Day 14
“Alright, Zyglavis and I made a list and divided up the different tasks that will need to be completed in order for us to successfully decorate the tree in time for MC,” Karno enthusiastically addressed the other gods.
The twelve gods of the zodiac were holding an emergency meeting in the living room, ready to discuss their Christmas surprise for MC. Since MC loved Christmas so much, the gods decided they were going to decorate one of those tree things that she was always talking about.
Leon had been sitting on the couch sipping a goblet of Huedhaut’s wine, and lazily flipped his head back.
“Why must a powerful god such as myself, do such trivial tasks by hand for a goldfish, when I can just use my powers and finish much quicker?”
“For once I agree with the lion,” Scorpio spat, “She should be happy that we’re even taking time out of our busy days to celebrate her stupid tradition.”
“Now, now, let’s not fight with each other,” Partheno soothed the rowdy gods, “Think about how MC would feel if she knew you two acting up on her behalf.”
Tauxolouve had been trying to wake Aigonorus up who had fallen asleep on the couch, when he spoke up  to try and defuse the situation.
“Partheno is right. We wouldn’t want to make the little lady sad now would me?”
“Come on Scorpio,” Dui encouraged, “We all know how much you’re going to enjoy MC’s face when it lights up at the sight of our tree!”
Scorpio’s face flushed a bright red color, while Teorus was trying to convince Leon.
“Let’s make it a competition between our department and Punishments and show them who the better team is.”
Leon was about to nod his head in approval at Teorus’s proposal, until Zyglavis abandoned his post by the tree, and came storming over.
“There will be no rivalry against the Punishments and Wishes department! Everyone will act accordingly and perform their assigned tasks per the list that was made.”
“And if you don’t want to do this for Zyglavis or myself, do this for MC!” Karno beamed.
Those words seemed to trigger everyone’s cooperation, and they all staggered over to the Christmas tree. Huedhaut and Ichthys had begun stringing the lights on the tree, while Aigonorus and Krioff were hanging ornaments. The remaining gods were taking turns focusing on the tree skirt, making sure the star was on top of the tree, and organizing the rest of the garland and bows.
The gods were working in perfect unison, and everything was flowing smoothly, until Ichthys’s prank was set into motion. Suddenly, the tree lights were wrapped around Huedhaut and Aigonorus, and ornaments were flying around the room, bonking Krioff on the head in the process.
“What gives?!” Krioff hissed in displeasure. Snapping his fingers, the floating decorations came crashing down to the ground.
“Ichthys,” Huedhaut warned in a dangerous tone, “If you know what’s good for you, untie us from this bondage, or else you’ll personally find out what happens to the targets of the Punishments department.”
“Can you put me in the closet so I can sleep already?” Aigonorus yawned, completely oblivious to the chaos happening around him.
“Due, Huedhaut’s glaring at me, and it’s freaking me out,” Ichthys shuddered in fear.
“Don’t drag me into your problems Ichthys,” Dui groaned from the other side of the tree.
Krioff had somehow manage to miss one of the flying ornaments, and the spare loner flew right into Zyglavis’s head.
“ICHTHYS! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUNISHMENTS, AND I’LL NOW NEED TO DISPLINCE YOU!” Zyglavis roared, while glaring menacingly at the god of Pisces.
A beam of light shot from Zyglavis’s hand, and Ichthys dodged out of the way last minute, causing the divine force to hit Leon.
“How bold of you to attack me Minister Ponytail,” Leon uttered dangerously, “Remember this-you’re the one who made the first move.”
“Leave him alone you stupid lion!” Scorpio cursed.
The rest of the respective gods sided with their said department, and soon the room had Christmas tree decorations gliding throughout the room. Lights were flashing, and ornaments were crashing against the wall. Aigonorus was standing up fast asleep in the corner of, while the other gods continued their battle.
An abrupt snap interrupted the pandemonium, and all the sudden, the twelve gods were lined up in a horizontal line.
“Wait until you see our Christmas present to you dear human,” a voice mentioned outside the door.
The majestic door swung open, and in walked the King, along with MC by his side. MC took one look at the tree, which now magically was perfectly decorated, and her face broke into a smile.
“Oh my gosh, it’s perfect! I can’t believe you guys did all this for me. I love it!” MC cheered, as she raced over to take a closer look.
You foolish gods almost ruined MC’s happiness with your childlike behavior. I trust you can manage to conduct yourselves appropriately for the rest of the day. Humans have a limited lifespan and this special day only comes once a year for them. Don’t be selfish.
After the King’s telepathy message to the divine rulers, he disappeared from the mansion, leaving the gods behind with the overexcited woman. MC rushed over to them, and politely bowed her head.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” MC exclaimed in excitement. “This is the best Christmas gift ever!”
She raced back over to admire the full beauty of the tree, and the gods marveled at MC. Her smile made the disarray of the previous events all worthwhile, and they each joined her around the tree.
“Merry Christmas,” MC praised the hardworking gods, “Something tells me that Christmas this year will not be a dull one.”
Nodding in agreement, the gods proceeded to prepare MC a feast, and ensure the rest of her day was filled with nothing but happy memories.

SCM - Distant Stars - CHILD LIST
I had an idea for a short series about the gods meeting their children from the future due to time shenanigans, with one shared prologue and a chapter for each of the gods’ routes, which are treated as alternate but parallel realities. So before I wrote anything (IF I write anything, there’s no guarantee I’ll do it), I’d make a list of the kids! 
Seriously tho, if Voltage made an actual sub story or something like this, I would DIE from happy.
Leon’s child: Leo Minor (the Lion Cub constellation), aka “Leona”. A somewhat clingy little girl who adores her parents. As a baby, has an unfortunate habit of chewing on Leon’s hair. Destined to be popular with both boys and girls of both the godly and mortal planes...leaving the Leon of the future constantly worried about would-be suitors of his precious little girl.
Scorpio’s child: Musca (the Fly or Bee constellation). Another little girl, but rather feisty. Has her father’s physical strength...but her mother’s clumsiness. When she gets older she gets treated as an annoyance and so overcompensates by trying to be helpful whenever possible. Scorpio is very protective of her, and is glad she was born a god.
Teorus’ child: Horologium (the Clock constellation), aka “Horo”. A shy but cheeky little boy. Tends to hide his face. Likes to give things to people he likes, even if it’s trash. Teorus of the future worries that with how much milk Horo drinks, the child will eventually be taller than the father...and unfortunately for him, he is right.
Dui’s child: Perseus (the Hero constellation). A little boy who is helpful and polite. Because the constellations of Perseus and Andromeda are linked by fate, Dui of the Future worries about his son, but tries not to be a helicopter parent. Sometimes, Perseus can be found staring into mirrors and talking to someone...someone who claims to know Dui.
Huedhaut’s children: Carina (the Ship’s Keel constellation), Puppis (the Ship’s Aft constellation), and Vela (the Ship’s Sail constellation). Two girls and one very insecure boy. Vela is the leader of the triplets, Carina is the peacekeeper, and Puppis is the crybaby tottering behind. This is mostly because a ship’s aft is also called the poopdeck, which brings him endless teasing and bullying. Hue of the future worries endlessly about this.
Ichthys’ child: Volans (the Flying Fish constellation). Practically a clone of his father, and just as mischievous. Ichthys of the future was worried sick that Volans might be born mortal, but luckily his son is quite godly...though he is a little frailer than most gods. It doesn’t stop him from pulling pranks just like his old man, and getting scolded by his dear Mama.
Karno’s child: Cetus (the Whale constellation). The reverse of Volans, she’s a dead ringer for her mother. For Future Karno, it’s like deja vu. She’s docile and sweet, but the constellation Cetus was once seen as a sea monster instead of a whale. She has strong and potentially dangerous power hidden deep down...luckily, she’s a good kid, and has no interest in dark powers.
Zyglavis’ children: Circinus (the Compasses constellation) and Pyxis (the Mariner’s Compass constellation). Twin boy and girl with extremely similar constellations and even more similar appearances. If not for their differing genders, they could pass for each-other without a problem. This leads to many shenanigans, mostly at Future Leon’s expense.
Aigonorus’ child: Delphinus (the Dolphin constellation). A perfect mix of both parents, he has his mother’s looks and Future Aigo’s personality. As a baby he’s almost always sleeping, but has trouble sleeping without someone else in the room with him. This leads to many adorable father-son naps on the couch, and by extension many photos of father-son naps on the couch.
Krioff’s child: Lupus (the Wolf constellation). A somewhat airheaded girl, who seems completely ignorant to the fact that other people think her father is scary. The fact that the father is the sheep and the daughter is the wolf does not go unnoticed by the other gods, who laugh at the irony anytime Krioff of the future is within hearing range. Lupus, again, doesn’t know.
Tauxolouve’s child: Monoceros (the Unicorn constellation). A beautiful and elegant young girl. When she gets older, it becomes obvious that Future Lou’s bad karma from his flirtatious days has come back to haunt him - by making him watch as every young god in the Heavens fight for his daughter’s hand. She has her mother’s old-school romanticism though, and refuses many a suitor. 
Partheno’s child: Andromeda (the Chained Maiden constellation). Another beautiful girl, but unfortunately Partheno of the future is a bit of a Maes Hughes, and never stops bragging about her. She is unfortunately danger prone, always getting kidnapped or attacked. As the Andromeda and Perseus constellations are linked, Partheno of the future knows that someday his daughter will grow up and leave him...but until then, he’s going to continue spoiling her and bragging to the other gods about how beautiful his daughter is.

Star-Crossed Myth - Karno x Goddess Reader - Soulmates AU
Words: 908
Prompt(s): Wish from Fluffbruary alternate prompts from @fluffbruary
Summary: After years of managing both duties, Leon finally decided to step down from his position as Minister of Wishes, leaving Karno to deal with a new recruit. Karno is not looking forward to this, but Leon is convinced that finally meeting you will change his mind.
Tags: First Meeting, Post Leon's Route
Next Chapter / Star-Crossed Myth Masterlist / General Masterlist / AO3
Tumblr media
Karno didn’t like his ability. He didn’t think it could be useful until he found out at least one thing he could do with it. Support his soulmate.
He hadn’t met her yet, although sometimes he wished he could, but their link made him capable of feeling good emotions coming from her, and he realized his powers could be used to amplify these feelings in hope they would last longer.
Not that she needed him to. She seemed like such a happy goddess, but sometimes these feelings reached him weakly, and he was glad to help at these times.
And he figured she helped him, too. It didn’t happen as often these days, but whenever he was worried or stressed or just overwhelmed, usually by some problem with work, there was this unexpected sweet scent that helped him relax.
Not that knowing that about her powers helped him find her.
The past few days had been like that. He could feel the rise and fall of her excitement before he decided to intervene. And she answered to his worries, helping him feel better in turn.
And at the moment, he wished he could amplify his own positive feelings about the work matter he had to face later, but he had none.
Leon had decided to step down from his position as minister of the department, and the job now fell on him. But Karno didn’t feel fit for the job, no matter how much hope Leon had in him.
Besides that, Leon had chosen someone else to fill the hole left in the department. Although he had taken that action while he was still minister, he stepped down soon after, and the responsibility over this recruit fell entirely on Karno.
Of course it was his decision to approve the new person or not, but he trusted Leon’s judgment. He wouldn’t have hand-picked someone completely unfit for the job. What Karno didn’t like was the way Leon grinned after telling him, adding that this meeting might be good to him.
“Are you still worried about that?” Leon walked into the office.
“I don’t think any of us were ready for this change. We thought you would stay as minister.”
“Do you doubt my judgement? If you don’t want the job, you and Hue can switch positions. And if the problem is the recruit, I already said the approval is up to you. Although I have the authority to, I won’t interfere.”
“I don’t doubt you. I don’t like it, but I have no doubt you made the choices you thought would be better for the department.”
“Then I don’t know why you are worried. This will be good for you.” Leon turned to leave, but stopped, and his next words were not directed to Karno. “And you’re here on time. Don’t disappoint me.”
The person didn’t respond, but Karno knew it was the recruit, even before Leon left and she knocked on the door, despite it being open.
“Come in.” He called. “Just give me a minute to finish these papers.”
“Excuse me.” A feminine voice answered politely.
A goddess was not what he expected. It was more than he wanted to deal with if he was being honest. He couldn’t think he could trust Teo around a woman at all, and whether he could or not trust Lou was up for debate. And considering he already wouldn’t trust her introduction to the job to Aigo, that meant the task would be left for either him or Hue.
His thoughts were interrupted by a snap, followed by the sweet, calming scent from his soulmate’s powers.
He turned to finally face you, who looked shocked by the chain of events, but slowly he felt a wave of happiness through your link.
You noticed he was looking and blushed, but took a deep breath and tried to keep your composure, but apparently failed by the way you looked away.
“Lord Karno. Can I ask an impertinent question?” You looked back with hesitation.
“Go ahead.”
“Is this why I was invited to this interview?”
“No. Leon no doubt knew who you were when he first saw you, but he would never offer such an important position to someone he didn’t find capable.” You nodded and all your hesitancy seemed to disappear. “And neither am I welcoming you because of that, nor will I treat you any differently. I will trust Leon’s judgment on your abilities, and expect you to report to me in the morning to start your work.”
“Yes, lord Karno.” You bowed to him.
“And you don’t need all this formality, even at work. You are one of us now.” He smiled. You looked surprised, but smiled back and nodded.
“Thank you. I won’t let you down.”
“Then welcome to the Department of Wishes…”
You told him your name, and he repeated it slowly, then welcomed you properly.
“Now, since we are done here, do you have any other compromise?”
“No. Why?”
“I would like a date to get to know my soulmate.” He approached and took your hand.
Your smile grew as you intertwined your fingers.
“I would be happy to. I would love to know you too.”
Karno couldn’t believe you had been brought to him in such a way. That his wish would be realized due to his work. It would be strange to work with his soulmate, but he was determined to make both relationships work.

"Fifteen years"
Genre: fluff
Pairing: Karno × goddess!reader
Warnings: none
For the fluffbruary event (@fluffbruary )
A/N: I wrote this, deleted it and rewrote this multiple times, before finally settling with this idea/plot. I stopped, took a walk in the night air and continued writing. I figured taking a walk outside helps when I'm stuck.💗💗 I hope you'll enjoy!!💕💕
Tumblr media
Prompts: graceful | volcano | blanket (Day 12/2024)
--------------------------------------------
"Hold on!" Karno said, catching your small hand in his equally tiny one.
You gripped him tightly, as you balanced yourself on the fallen tree trunk. You gasped, thinking you were about to slip, when it rolled a little to the side, but your friend kept you up, using his second hand as well. "Okay...!" You uttered between ragged breaths.
"You're steady?" He asked, his voice thin and almost tumbling to the feminin side.
You nodded, your grin broad and the apples of your cheeks rosé, your hair disheveled and slipping out of the ribbon your mother had tied around them, forming a ponytail, before you could scurry off into the forest.
Karno's sweet face was before you, his cheeks soft and pinchable with the way they puffed out. "Your hair." He said, giggling.
"I guess I don't need this then." You said, with your childlike voice and you reached for the lilac ribbon in your hair, pulling it off completely.
"Look!" He begged enthusiastically for your attention, shoving a hand into the pocket of his white tunic. "Dad brought some of these home yesterday and I got us some." He explained, voice cheerful, while the sunlight dived into his dark chocolate eyes.
Your eyes brightened, upon the sight of the fresh strawberries that laid upon Karno's small palm.
"I knew you'd react like that." He laughed and your face felt warmer, for a reason your innocent little mind couldn't fathom just yet.
You two hopped off the tree trunk, stones and soil ending up crashed beneath your sandals and your own dress swaying, when your body was still in the air, feet not touching the ground yet.
You took a seat on a big rock nearby and shared the fruits, indulging in the slightly sour sweetness of them.
Your eyes trailed across your best friend's facial features and the smile you've been harboring this entire time faded, a shadow conquering the light in your gaze.
"What's wrong?" Karno asked, his cherubic face colored with concern, pure and limitless, wishing for no benefit.
"I can't believe you'll be moving away..." You answered melancholically, eyes casted upon your lap.
Karno's frail hand found your shoulder, ushering you to turn around and stare up at him. "We'll meet again. Don't be sad." He said, wishing from the bottom of his youthful heart that it'd return the stolen smile to your face.
"When?" You questioned, your eyes swelling with tears.
Karno's warm brown eyes remained in yours, chasing away the chill from your heart like fire in a firepit. "We're eight. So... In fifteen years?"
As the tears began their wet, sorrowful trail down your rosy cheeks, your breath hitched and you threw your arms around him, knocking his body down with yours on top, like a blanket.
Karno hugged you back tightly, as you sobbed into his shoulder.
"I'll never forget you!" You said, wailing. "I will always love you!" He was your best friend after all and the morning he departed with his family, you left a small and gentle kiss on his cheek.
The days and the nights collided, turning into months and then to years, changing your mind and body. The only thing that stayed the same was the love that had found its rightful home into your ribcage, nuzzled against your heartbeat. Maybe because this feeling wasn't an idea swirling in your head, but a yearning engraved into your soul.
With the passage of time, you were also able to realize that this love you felt for this boy wasn't just one for a friend, but one reserved for something more.
Fifteen years had gone by and now you carried a stack of books down the palace's hallway, your first day there as the archive's assistant.
Something met your body suddenly, your speeds colliding and pushing each other away, causing you to stumble backwards.
All the books fell from your hold, scattering around your feet and a strong hand gripped your forearm firmly, keeping you upright.
"I'm so sorry!" You hurried to apologize, head ducked in shame, as you crouched down to retrieve the books you dropped.
The god kneeled as well, helping you gather them and then offering them to you. "Here."
"Thank y—" Your voice died, still in your throat, when your eyes met the warm ones of this man.
"No..." He muttered, inspecting your face piece by piece. "No way..." A smile spread across his lips and its familiarity shook you to your core. "(Name)?!"
"Karno!" You cried out, throwing your arms around him without even considering. "Heavens..." You chuckled as you spoke, tears gathering at the corners of your eyes. "Look how much you've grown!"
"I could say the same thing about you!" His facial features had sharpened with maturity, yet his skin remained soft, even though his cheeks were not as puffed out anymore. "I missed you so much." He said, before squeezing you into his arms as if he was shipwrecked and you were his precious shore, the emotions flowing like they came out of a volcano. His graceful fingers tucked some tufts of hair behind your ear and his eyes squinted kindly, as he peered into your face. "You're so... Beautiful."

Hello! 🙂
I hope you aren't too busy at the moment.
I would like to request a story where Tauxolouve dies and is reborn as The King's son. Who falls in love with a human girl who became a Goddess. This human girl is not the MC from the game.
The details and the ending are upto you.
Thank you ❤️
Sorry this took a bit longer than I was expecting, though hopefully the length this ended up being explains that! (Was determined to get this up tonight so hopefully I didn't miss anything when rechecking through and formatting on AO3. It's gone midnight here 😅 )
Title: The Reborn Prince and The Ascended Goldfish
Rating: T
Fandom: Star-Crossed Myth
Status: Complete
Total Word Count: 16,832
Pairing: Tauxolouve/Goddess!Reader
Major Characters: Goddess!Reader, Tauxolouve, King of the Heavens, Huedhaut, Karno, Ichthys
Minor Characters: Teorus, Zyglavis, Leon, Aigonorus, Scorpio, Dui, Partheno, Krioff
Genre: Alternate Timeline, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending
Summary: The King of the Heavens refused to give Tauxolouve a home in the Heavens, but on the night of Tauxolouve's death he realises he had made a mistake and intervenes to raise his soul to that of a full God and raise him as his son.
Thousands of years later, you are a human whose business has failed due to issues beyond your control and when the King of the Heavens offers to raise you to a Goddess to start a new life, you take it.
The King offers you a place in Punishments, but Tauxolouve (who is Minister of Wishes) reveals that both departments are actually a God short right now.
However, The King immediately warns you away from Tauxolouve, and you soon find yourself wrapped up in secrecy in order to avoid the King's disapproval. All on top of discovering your divine powers and getting used to your powers and the other Zodiac Gods.
A/N: As this contains the reader finding out their divine power and talk about other divine powers and their issues, there are at least alluded to spoilers for quite a lot of the routes. Some things are still the same, but as I say this is an alternate timeline and the positions in Wishes are slightly different. As to how? Read the fic to find out! 😉 Not beta read, any mistakes ae my own.

Hello!!💗💗💗
Could I get a Scorpio period comfort?🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️ Than you, sis!🤧💖💖
SCM- DEPARTMENT OF PUNISHMENT
SCORPIO ♏- In My Arms
A/N: Hi!! 🥺💗 I hope you are feeling better. 💓💓💓
You walked home as quickly as you could. The pain intensifying with each step you took. Just few more minutes and i will be home, you thought trying your best to ignore the pain.
You placed your bag on the sofa and quickly went to the bathroom. The hot shower relaxed not only your body but also your mind.
You came back to the living room and collected your bag, bringing it to your room. You wanted to go to bed but there was homework to do. So you decided to quickly do your homework and then relax.
Time went by swiftly as your wrote in your notebook. Before you realized, it was already 7.30 pm. After arranging you books for tomorrow, you went to the kitchen to make yourself a cup of tea.
Pouring the tea in a cup, you added some honey in to it. You placed some of your favorite cookies on a plate and placed it on the tray beside the cup of tea.
Once your were sitting comfortably on the sofa, wrapped in your favorite blanket, your turned on the TV. Slowly you took a sip from the cup. Your body relaxed a bit, as the pain subsided.
Focusing your attention at the TV, you drank the rest of the tea and ate a few cookies.
-
The clock showed 8 pm. " You should take rest." a stern yet gentle voice said. Scorpio turned around to see, Zyglavis who was waiting for him to finish administering the punishments on his list.
"Just, few more minutes."Scorpio said in a apologetic tone. The corners of Zyglavis's lips curled up as he heard that.
-
Scorpio knocked on the window of your room. The lights were turned off and there was no answer. He waited for a few minutes, thinking that maybe you haven't heard the sound. He knocked again. But once again there was no response.
He snapped his fingers; opening the window. Carefully he walked to the living room to find you sleeping on the sofa.
He placed a packet on the table and snapped his fingers to turn off the TV.
"(Name)?", he said softly running his fingers through your hair.
"Hmmm." you mumbled as you struggled to open your eyes.
Looking up you found yourself staring at those gorgeous eyes, which held the most breathtaking pair of stars within them. The tiredness vanished from your body and you sat up.
Scorpio sat beside you. There was a mischievous look in his eyes as he smiled at you. "Is there something on my face?" You asked suddenly self-conscious of yourself.
The smile on his face only brightened as he slowly untied your hair. A hair brush appeared in his hand as he snapped his fingers.
With gentle hands and soft brush strokes, he neatly brushed your hair. It was becoming difficult to keep your eyes open, as your body grew more and more relaxed under his touch.
" (Name)?", his voice tenderly brought you out of your drowsiness. " Hmmm ", you responded.
"Don't fall asleep love." he said tying your hair with a ribbon," You need to eat."
Once again he snapped his fingers and the hair brush disappeared.
" I don't feel like cooking. " you said yawning. " You don't have to. I brought some of your favorite food for us." You finally noticed the packet sitting on the table.
He snapped his fingers and two plates along with two spoons appeared on the table. The delicious aroma filled the room as he took some of the (food name) on the plate. Picking some (food name) on the spoon he brought it to your lips.
The corners of his lips curled up as he witnessed how your eyes lit up as you took the first bite. " Delicious!" You said as you took another spoonful of (food name) in your mouth. " I am glad you like it." he said.
He took the rest of the ( food name ) on his plate and ate it. Once you both had finished brushing your teeth and doing your night-time skincare routine, you decided to watch one of your favorite movies.
Wrapping the blanket around the two of you, you leaned on his shoulder. "(Name), do you think they will meet again?" Scorpio slowly voiced the question.
" Yes, they will. It might seem difficult but their friendship has influenced their lives in positive ways. They will be reunited." you replied.
Various emotions flashed on their faces. Happiness at finally finding him, followed by sudden anger that he didn't inform them before leaving, and ultimately relief as the three of them hugged each other vowing to stay friends until the end of their days.
The credits rolled on accompanied by a song.
You gazed at Scorpio who had his eyes glued to the screen. A single tear feel down his cheek and he smiled. Like the sun on a spring day, looking at the crops on the fields.
You placed your arms around his neck and softly kissed his cheek. " Let's go to bed." you voice coming out in the form of a gentle wishper.
He picked you in his arms and carried your to your room. He placed your on the bed, before lying beside you. You snuggled close to his chest as he started humming a tune. Soon you drifted off into deep sleep.

Hi.🙂 How do you think the gods would react ( individually) if they had feelings for mc , but mc is the king's only daughter. Department of Wishes gods are more likely to have the king's approval. Please 🙏 give a happy ending for every God.
Heir to the Throne
Synopsis: It wasn’t unusual for the Gods in the Heavens to praise and worship the only daughter of the King—how else were they supposed to easily raise their social standing? Unfortunately, even for a Zodiac god, the biggest obstacle to a relationship with her… was receiving the King’s approval.
✨Masterlist✨ Female goldfish! A/n: Do I like tropes where MC is the King’s child and the gods are fawning over her? Yes. It’s almost like a royal AU where the peasant goes for the royal heir. The only difference is that these handsome Zodiacs are far from being peasants.  I did leave some of the endings kind of vague, but don’t worry, these gods are determined to keep you, so no isn’t an answer here. 
–Word Count: 4,076–
You were easily the most sought-after goddess in the entirety of the Heavens. Anyone could certainly say you were the most beautiful being in existence—the prized jewel of the Heavens. However, you were unattainable. You were the pride and joy of the King of the Heavens. You didn't share his omnipotence, but you were every bit as graceful and just as secretly mischievous. 
Many were in love with you, but who else would dare shoot their shot besides the 12 highest ranking gods in the Heavens? He was bound to gain your attention where others failed. After all, he worked with you on a daily basis. At this point, he almost had your schedule memorized to a tee and knew your preferred hobbies when you weren't doing the duties expected of a princess. You had similar duties to the King—overlooking the jobs of the Wishes and Punishment Departments—only in that your job was to keep them on track and convey the King’s orders and messages.
It was no surprise that you caught the attention of a Zodiac god who desperately wanted your love.
The only obstacle… was getting the King’s approval—as well as yours, of course.
♌️♌️♌️
Leon had the highest chance out of anyone in the Heavens to get permission from the King for you to be his. Of course, being the overconfident god of Leo that he is, he doesn't expect ‘no’ to be a consideration for you—even if it was, he was supposed to be the future King. There was no better suitor than him.
Sure, he was a jerk most of the time—an arrogant and cocky minister who got everything handed to him on a silver platter. But then… were you much different? You also got everything handed to you on a silver platter. To be fair, you were almost as omniscient as your father. You knew how to empathize with others where Leo lacked. You empathized a little too well with the god of Leo, in his opinion. But… that made him love you all the more.
His favoritism toward you was definitely no secret, but it was still a surprise to you when he requested, “I want you to be my goddess.” Your heart stuttered as he looked into your eyes. “You might think I'm selfishly asking to have you because of your status, but don't forget I'm the god of Leo. Don't you think it's fitting that the future King has the most precious goddess in the Heavens? I’ll grant your every wish and fulfill your every desire. Won’t you consider being mine?”
He really might have sounded like he was full of himself—which he probably was—but he loved you. That was something he couldn't say about any other goddess in the Heavens. He was confident you really had no reason to reject him.
How lucky for Leon that even the King would approve of this arrangement. As suspected, Leon’s role as Minister of Wishes and future King secured his position for him. 
♋️♋️♋️
Karno was always very kind to you, even before he realized his feelings of adoration for you. He knew the pressure you were under because of your position and didn't want to strain your relationship with the knowledge of his love. 
Still, as most of the Zodiac gods loyally followed your command, Karno was commendably your closest attendant. Even then, he found it difficult to comprehend what you wanted from him. Did you… also like him? Is that why you always wanted him around whether you were working, doing palace duties, or just strolling through the Heavens?
Well, if he was going to test his luck, he was going to go to you with his utmost confidence. “I’ve been by your side for years now. I admire you for every reason. I know I may be out of line in requesting you to love me in return… But I'd love for nothing more than to have you as my own. So that I can loyally continue to be with you forever, please… Consider me.”
Karno’s loyalty to you was acknowledged by everyone who'd ever seen the two of you together. As a matter of fact, many gods thought the two of you were an unofficial item. But Karno knew it wouldn't be as easy as simply stealing your heart. He also had to move the King to allow your relationship. 
Fortunately for him, the King was aware of all of this before Karno even opened his mouth. This only renewed Karno’s confidence as you gained permission from the King to be together.
♒️♒️♒️
Whether or not he knew it, Huedhaut had his eyes on you ever since he lost Clotho. He was sure he'd never fall in love again, completely cutting such emotions out of his life. That's how he was certain things were going to stay… If not for the way you showed such sympathy and care for him after he gave the stars in one of his eyes. 
You were a princess; you didn't have to go so far for him. You didn't have to share your strength with someone as weak as him. But you did… And he loved you and your selfless nature. You were kind to him; you were always concerned about him. His mental health was also something you kept a careful watch on; but Huedhaut was a logical man. Someone as intelligent as him could never fall to wayward thoughts and desires. 
Though… Was loving you considered a wayward desire? If it was… He supposed he'd have no choice but to give into it. 
“Your grace, you've always taken care of me, despite how it's my job to be tending to your needs. I'm not sure if I'm moving on from Clotho too quickly, but I fear that without her… Without you… I will never love another again.” His eyes met yours. “My heart grew cold before you showered me with your warmth. This is something I never want to lose. Would you consider letting me have you the way you've taken me?” 
It was a desire that drew him to you, but it was a pure desire, one he would not abuse and he'd prove it to both you and the King. 
♉️♉️♉️
Teorus was a god who loved everyone, giving a piece of his heart to all who entered his life. If someone loved him, it was simple that he'd love them in return. Still, despite his flirting, you hadn't admitted your love to him just yet. Part of him waited, expecting you to one day declare your intense passion for him. Only… it never came. And as time went by, this longing feeling in his chest only grew more intense. 
Teorus was the god of time, so why did everything feel like it went by so quickly with you yet so agonizingly slow without you? It wasn't fair. He couldn't wrap his mind around these new feelings you filled him with. But if you wouldn’t declare your love for him, then he'd have to do it himself. 
He wanted to know how you really felt about him, but above all else, he supposed it was up to him to let you know how he felt first. The worst that could happen was you saying no. But even worse, he needed the approval of the King. As a Wishes god, his chances to be with you were higher.
With his usual princely personality, he finally addressed you about it, “I keep getting this funny feeling in my chest when I'm around you… well, anytime I think about you. I feel like… I love you more than anyone I've ever met. You might think I'm just saying that to get you to choose me, but I feel lost without you. And I feel like I know where I am when I'm by your side. I’ll do my best for us, I promise.” 
♑️♑️♑️
Aigonorus admired you without question. Without you in his life he was sure he would have fallen apart a long time ago. When you first officially met, it was through Phione, the love of Aigonorus’ life. He was sure she was just showing off her Wishes boyfriend; after all, Aigonorus is the closest a god could get to matching your rank. But you weren't impressed; you were more worried for Aigo at the time. He didn't understand at first, but when all he had was you and your open arms to fall into, he understood… and he was grateful.
Having your supportive presence by his side all this time, he knew you were the one who really cared about him. You were the one he wanted. He only hoped the feeling was mutual. While he feared another heartbreak… He knew this was the only way forward. “(Name)...” He whispered your name, enjoying the peace and quiet of the courtyard. The two of you were alone, laying under a tree. “I felt sad… and really betrayed because of Phione. But you never left me after she did. You didn't know me and you didn't have to help, but you did. And for some reason, you're still here.” He glanced at you, shying away when he saw your intent gaze on him. “W- Well… I don't want you to leave. Ever. I want you to stay. I… love you, (Name).” 
At this point, he was happy to face anything you threw at him. For better or for worse, you were by his side. You accepted all of him—you accepted his goats; there wasn't a fault that he could find. Fortunately, the only one standing in his way wasn't you… but your father; and Aigo was sure he'd win the King’s approval.
♐️♐️♐️
Tauxolouve dated many goddesses in the Heavens but none ever moved his heart like you did. There was once a time in his life where he was confused to have been able to see a future vision of his death, and he never really understood what it meant until the day he met the reborn goddess of fate. That human changed his life, bringing forth change he wasn't ready for… Change that made him scared to admit his true nature to you. 
He wanted to tell you everything, starting with his feelings for you, but… Wishes god or not, how could a demigod have a chance with the King’s daughter? 
Fortunately for him, you took the news of him being a demigod shockingly well—going as far as letting him know you were completely fine with him being a demigod, that he wasn't a different person just because his parents weren't the average god and goddess. He was still your favorite god.
His heart thumping excitedly in his chest, he poured his heart to you, “It scared me to let other gods know about my taboo nature. But you accepted me as if being a demigod were no different from being a god.” You might have insisted that he was no different from anyone else, but it was an insecurity for him. “I love having you by my side to support me, and I promise you’ll get my best if you’d give me a chance and be my little lady.” 
He loved you and he was going to do his best to ensure he had the blessings of both you and the King. He’d do whatever it took. He just hoped his position in Wishes helped him out more than his taboo status as a demigod.

Zyglavis wouldn't dare approach you, the King’s daughter for anything other than official business. He'd never had his heart stolen before… This was new and he wanted nothing but to act upon these feelings before someone else snatched you up—someone like that rabid lion… It wasn’t like the King hadn’t vaguely suggested partnering you with someone from the Department of Wishes. If you were with someone like Zyglavis, you'd never again have to deal with gods like that; he'd make sure of it.
Still, he had to wonder if you'd even love someone like him. You smiled and laughed with gods like Dui and Ichthys. It was fair considering that you were also young. He wondered if he could make you smile like that… He loved your smile. 
Well, he was the Minister of Punishments, and there was no point in beating around the bush. He disliked distractions and the sooner he addressed you about this, the sooner his mind could be at ease. He knew making such a decision would be arduous work, but he wasn’t afraid of a challenge when it meant his heart was on the line. Besides, he was the Minister of Punishments; shouldn’t it be an honor for the King to bless such a prosperous relationship? 
But this wasn’t about rank to Zyglavis—this was about the intense feelings that plagued him day and night. “I’m aware of the controversy it would bring were I to ask you to be mine. However, in light of the intense feelings I feel around you… I apologize, but I no longer care for the opinions of anyone but you. I admire everything about you. It may be against the ethics of your position to consider me… but I love you.” Then again… with or without the King’s permission, he was dedicated to keeping you. All he required was your approval.

Scorpio was nothing more than a toy for the King. Ever since the King brought him to the Heavens, and even his time before that, he was always doing dirty work. He didn’t exactly know what love was—he’d never been exposed to such a feeling. But the feeling he got when you looked at him so kindly had to be just that. Since he was a vice-minister, aside from the other gods in the Department of Punishments, you were the only one who didn’t treat him like either a tool or just some filthy human-turned-god.
He knew even if he opened his mouth to admit his feelings toward you, he’d never get the approval of the King. Why would a princess be allowed to be seen with someone as cruel as the god of Scorpio? Still, the longer you cared about him and the more he felt your benevolent and loving thoughts through your contact, he wanted more. He craved more. 
“I can't freaking stand this,” he grumbled, trying to sort out his feelings for you. Though, you were surely smart enough to understand his ramblings. “I keep getting these feelings around you… but I get these feelings when you're not around too. I don't understand how to fix it. You're overwhelming me and I can't get you out of my head! I might only be a god because the King allowed it… but (Name), I want you to be mine regardless of where I came from. And I want to treat you the way you deserve to be treated. I… I promise I'll do my best if you give me a chance.”
Were his chances extremely low? Of course. The King would never permit such a thing. But all that mattered was if you felt the same way he did.
♊️♊️♊️
Dui had a horrible history… Heck, he had a horrible present life. He was known throughout the Heavens as a god killer. Hell, he even had a split personality and Shadow Dui was nothing anyone wanted to associate with. Well… No one but you. 
Ever since the day of Dui’s trial when he was granted his position under the watchful eye of Scorpio, you'd been there. In fact, you were the first person aside from the Punishment gods to approach him. 
He might have been terrified to be around you, but you were nothing but kind to both him and Shadow. He didn’t know how you could get along so well with his other half without Shadow trying to kill you… But he was glad for it (even Shadow Dui was secretly glad for it). He was glad to have a person in his life that wasn't obligated to be there. Worst of all… he wanted you to stay.
“(Name)... I don't know why you've never treated me like the other gods… I mean, I know you don't think it's my fault what happened, but I’m not a good person… and I want you to keep that in mind. I think you’re amazing… You’re a wonderful goddess and I’m happy you’re in my life. I wish I could be like you so much…” He paused. “But I can’t. Shadow is a part of me now and you accept him too. I was wondering… if you’d consider being my goddess. I love you… and I feel lost without you by my side. I promise if you agree, Shadow and I will behave. We’ll do our best to figure out how to work this out together, because I know you actually care about both of us. So… please?”
Though, Dui knew, regardless of your answer, he wanted you in his life forever; it didn’t matter what the King thought, for once. You were his friend.
♓️♓️♓️
Above anyone else, Ichthys loved making you laugh. In all his years of pranking other gods, you were the only one to laugh genuinely with him. You weren’t laughing at him, nor even mocking him. You honestly thought he was funny, and he loved you for that.
Sure, he had known you since a young age, having grown up in the palace together. Ichthys thought the fact that your dad was friends with his parents was nothing but a big plus in your friendship with him. He didn’t need the familial leverage since you seemed to like him just the way he was, but it was nice knowing the two of you would never face rejection.
Though, if Ichthys had a dollar for every time spectating gods had heart attacks over Ichthys pranking you, he’d be a billionaire. But you thought he was cute and funny, so what was the big deal? Well… for Ichthys… the big deal was that you supported him in everything he ever did and you made him genuinely smile with you. He couldn’t say that about too many people since he was always getting admonished for his way of enjoying his life. It hurt him to think that he might not wake up and see you one day…
“(Name),” he called your name, grasping your attention with the pure, earnest tone of his voice. “I know you know that I’m a mortal god… but I’ve been thinking about why I want to live. I want to stay with you! I don’t want to go! I love you so much that it terrifies me that our time together might be too short… So… please,” he requested, his eyes glossy. “If you can grant any wish… can you be with me until the end? I love you and I want to keep pranking you and pranking other gods with you. That would make me the happiest god alive and I’d be able to die with no regrets when the time comes. So… can you do this for me?”

Partheno knew you probably only stuck around him because of his powers as a demon. It was surprisingly simple work to charm the daughter of the King. But… When did it become such a difficult and tedious task? When did he fall in love with you?! He hated this… He hated how easy it was for you to seduce him the way you did when it wouldn’t work between the two of you. 
Regardless of how you saved him from turning to dust by begging the King to turn him into a god, Partheno… was still an ex-demon. Anyone would never approve your relationship, least of all the King. Besides… it didn’t matter if he was a god or not now, he was convinced he deserved nothing nice for all the evil he plotted to do—for the way he used you and manipulated you. Though you denied having been under his influence, the guilt still ate at him from the inside out until he could no longer take it anymore. King be damned, Partheno was a prince too and had every right to pursue the goddess that was pursuing him! 
It didn’t matter how nervous he was in front of you… he had to get this off of his chest. “I love you… You’ve been knowing this since the love I felt for you nearly destroyed me as a demon. I didn’t want to acknowledge what was between us, but I can’t resist when you keep returning to me. So, (Name), I don’t care about what the other gods have to say now. I’m a god like you and I’ve loved you for a long time now. I want to be with you. I want to know your love in return, if you’ll give me a chance.” You gave him a chance to be a god and live a better life… but couldn’t you be by his side and make his better life perfect?

Krioff was confident in himself—different from the last time he sought an audience with you and the King. This time he wasn't here to beg for his sister back. She was happy on Earth; she found something to make her happy. Here… Krioff found what made him happy. 
You were always there for him where his father wasn’t. His mother may have supported him, but it was hard with his dad constantly there, hovering, being a nuisance. The only thing he cared about was that Krioff was in the Department of Punishments; something to make up for the disappointments. But you were completely different. You didn’t care for his rank, just as he casually brushed aside yours. You were around him because you liked him, and there was no other excuse for it. You weren’t afraid of his “beautiful flames,” as you called them. You loved everything that made him unique. The only thing that was important where rank was concerned… was his request for an audience.
You were extremely hesitant to agree to this audience. It only took Krioff about twenty-six tries, emphasizing it was of grave importance he discussed this with you and the King before further acting. You were expecting him to ask to at least see his sister stranded on Earth. You weren't alone in that assumption. So, it was a huge surprise to everyone when Krioff offered one of his rare smiles to you and said, “I know I’ve done nothing but pester you about my sister since we met… and you helped me through a lot of problems with my family, giving me a place in the Department of Punishments. I didn’t want to ask for more from you… but I’m not ignoring my feelings this time. I didn’t tell my sister how much I loved her, so I won’t wait until it’s too late. I want you to be mine, (Name). I want to love you and I want you to love me too. And… I’d like our relationship recognized.” The entire room froze over at the unexpected question. Krioff’s stoicism made it difficult to foresee this. But it was clear he was very serious about this, and he wasn’t about to take no for an answer.
