Hello ! Just wanted to pass by to say that I loved your fics about Lance on ao3.

If I may ask, why do you not like Raphael in Midnight Lovers ?

Thank you, you're very kind 🥰

Raphael... eh I hate his flowery, redundant, poetic way to talk, I'm a very direct and logical person so we are completely incompatible in that area. Plus, he is still in love and obsessed with his dead lover, it's the greatest sin of a fictional LI in my book. But from a gameplay point of view, his route was one of the best written and his endings very enjoyable.

Did you play his route yet?

Hello! Hope you have a great day! If you have free time, can you please write short fluffy story about Raphael and Eloise? It'd be for anything, thanks a lot! <33

HELLO THERE! I was not expecting to see this when I posted that Ivan drabble, so thank you for trusting me with your request!

Note: Sorry I didn't answer this for a long while... 2022 was a rough year for writing.

A/N: I'll admit, I haven't played Raphael's route yet, so I'm writing this based off of the interactions I've had with him on Vlad, Bel, and Ivan's routes (and maybe some Aaron, though I don't remember if I saw him on there). I'm... very behind on Moonlight Lovers, haha.

The cool night air brushed over Eloise's skin as she drew in a deep breath. Sometimes, the mansion could feel so stuffy, a little too full, especially with the large personalities of all the vampires occupying it. Walking through the garden and breathing in air that wasn't populated by them was the only sense of reprieve Eloise seemed to get these days.

"Eloise?" a voice called, and she peered over her shoulder to find Raphael at the door to the kitchen, casting his head about as if searching for her. He shifted his grip on his rapier, and his face finally faced the direction she was standing in, even before she said anything.

"I'm right here." In a few steps, he was standing beside her, and though she knew he couldn't see it, she smiled up at him. "Is something wrong?"

"Not at all." His lips turned up in that kind smile of his. Eloise felt a sense of calm wash over her at the sight. He'd always had that calming influence on her. The other vampires tended towards... not violence, but they were not nearly as soothing as Raphael. Only Aaron matched his calm, but with his imposing stature and rugged appearance, it really was no contest. "A bit of fresh air does good for everyone."

"Ethan and Beliath seem to get plenty of fresh air," Eloise quipped, nodding toward the Moondance club that the two frequented.

Raphael chuckled. "I'm not sure the air there is as fresh as it is outside." He breathed in the night air for himself and slumped his shoulders a bit as he exhaled. "I assume it's beautiful out tonight."

"Oh, yes." Eloise gazed up at the sky once more. "Plenty of stars out tonight. The animals in the forest seem to be quiet as well. Maybe they're stargazing."

"That's an interesting thought." Raphael gestured to the bench not far from them, perfect, as he always was, in his sense of location. "Shall we sit?"

"Sure." Eloise followed Raphael to the bench and sat next to him, leaning back on her hands as she once more looked to the stars. Raphael, as if sensing what she was doing, also looked up, and Eloise longed to see the expression in his eyes. There was only so much you could tell with them covered, as she was starting to learn.

"Are you enjoying your time here?" he asked quietly, so quietly she almost missed it.

Eloise wasn't sure how to answer. She was slowly but surely befriending the vampires in this mansion that was supposed to be hers, but the days--er, nights--were starting to seem monotonous. It was only when she was spending times like these with Raphael that there was some color in an otherwise monochromatic routine. Finally, she said, "I think I am. You're wonderful company, Raphael."

He coughed a bit at first, as if he wasn't expecting such directness. But after a moment, he smiled down at her. "I'm happy to hear it. I want you to enjoy your life, even if we have interfered in that life a bit."

More than a bit, she thought to herself. But whereas before, she would have minded heavily just how much these vampires had messed everything up, she was starting to enjoy this lifestyle, full of vibrant characters and intriguing plot twists. "I really appreciate that, Raphael."

An awkward beat passed in silence before Eloise said, "Could we... could we stay here for a little longer? I don't want to go back inside just yet."

"Of course." Raphael placed his rapier at his side and offered his hand. "I'd be honored to keep you company."

She placed her hand in his with a shy smile and leaned her head on his shoulder. He jolted at first, but then he relaxed into her, and they stayed there for some time, their eyes tilted toward the heavens.

Moonlight lovers is a disaster: part 3

Oh! is it a clown or is just Ivan?

Ivan, Ivan, Ivan... a disaster, a completely disaster. If one thing has taught me this route is to take things humorously. This is one of the worst routes together with Raphael's.

Let's start with the positive points. chapter 1-3. That's it. Everything is good until chapter 4. Then it's stupid jealousy, toxic behaviour...(and when i say toxic i say real disgusting stuff that I don't think people like to experience as a player in a romantic game). Again, another route which could have been a hit, wasted.

They have let escape the chance of him and Eloise talking about the 2010's. When he was human there was a "boom" of musical hits: Lady Gaga's bad romance, rihanna, katy perry... I know he likes metal, but dude he could have been a bridge to create instant empathy with us. He is the character that could have been the most easy to talk to, and instead, he is the most difficult to seriously communicate with.

Ivan was kinda sweet vibes "he was a punk, she did ballet, what more can I say?". Vibe with me. The skater punk boy that OBVIOUSLY plays music and is good at rhythms. That's cool. Honestly, he was an interesting character to develop. We have a torment man who is obssesed with his human life and cannot accept his new condition. Also, he feels extremely guilty about his actions in the past and the present, and has problems to control his thrist.

Having said that, the first two chapters were focus on his inability to selfcontrol. Okay, fine by me. The third has a really cute dancing scene. Everything is okay except Ethan, who is predatory and d i s g u s t i n g (but i'll judge him in his own route to be fair).

But, here comes Constaaaance, how incredible it is that this company is forcing me to feel jealous about a 2d drawing. Nah, seriously I still had hope. I thought: "maybe he isn't in love with her but what she represents. The last link to his human life, his family, his friends, his dreams... everything. That 's why" I thought. So consequently, the game wants us to make him aware about what he truly feels to channel it from a perspective more filosophical. HA!

wHAT aN IDiot i was.

After, a lot of fights, jealousy, irrational and delusional behaviour. It turns out, Constance is super evil and killed him (incredible resolution). And suddenly, the love for her abandons ivan's body. Dude, it evaporates. And suddenly, Ivan understands that he actually wanted to fuck his childhood friend, the one he bullied, yeees. And the one who married his girlfriend.

At first I got angry but then i thought, this is actually super funny (except for the tortuous chapters about jealousy and shit). I mean... in the neutral ending this bag of shit breaks up with us to start dating the friend he never reminded in the past 10 years.

As a queer person I don't desire Ivan in my community. By the rights I don't possess I declare him heterosexual. I don't want this skinny runt inside my group, what a bad representation. Ivan you should learn of Aaron, my bi king.

What can I say? I remember the end and the memories and everything... It's so bad... so bad that I wanna forget. Still, iconic twist. At the end Ethan was right about him.

The (plot)holes in the moon - Moonlight Lovers Edition

I'm collecting all the plotholes, inconstancies and mysteries I'm encountering in the game, just for fun and because I like doing it. Since my considerations are usually predated, I've decided that I will update this post from now on.

Please, keep in mind that I'm still playing it, so don't spoil me things.

THERE ARE GOING TO BE SPOILERS. DON'T READ UNLESS YOU LIKE SPOILERS.

♠ The biggest plothole for now is that the Chalice was made into a Chalice in order to not be found dead in the manor and raise suspects among the villagers. BUT THEN (SPOILER CHAPTER 4 - IVAN'S ROUTE)

. . .

THEY DRAG A FUCKING CORPSE IN THE VILLAGE NEARBY A POLICE STATION OR SOMETHING?!?!?!??!?!

♠ Vlad be like: "Avoid being in contact with Ivan. He needs to calm down." Then, a minute later: "We are going to patrol in pair, so Eloise, stay in the manor and keep an eye on Ivan."

♠ So, when you're a vampire, you don't need to poop or something? Because I'm in Chapter 3 of Neil's route and I still can't go in the bathroom, lol

♠ Plothole 2 is Vladimir unable to sense BLOOD and trying to slap us because he can't recognize BLOOD. You're an edgy one. More then Ivan & Ethan.

♠ Plothole number three: didn't Neil and the others implied that "it takes a lot of strenght for a vampire to make another vampire", so they couldn't turn Eloise, but then we discover that Aaron turned Ivan to save his life from death some time ago, lol

♠ Plothole number pfkwpd (<- 4): SO, THEY ALREADY HAD TO HIDE A CORPSE IN THE PAST, BUT THEY HAD TO TURN ELOISE IN A FUCKING CHALICE because of the SuSs. Dudes, you're all mind-controlling vampires: what could possibly worry you? A fine? Also, is jail so insufferable when you're older than the Bible?

It's a fun game/no s.

[hassedah]

hey, can you do ml boys in an argument with the mc? love you 💕

The boys argue with MC :

Hi! ^^

How are you? I hope you are well! ^^ Here are the headcanons you requested. I hope you like it! 

Have a nice day and take care of yourself! ^^

Vladimir :

Vladimir is a touchy vampire with a tendency to take offence at little things and always wants to order others around like servants. He usually leaves you alone, but that's not really the case anymore since his garden was destroyed by the weather. In fact, he has become unpleasant to everyone and it's starting to become unbearable.

At first, you put up with it after all there is not a plant left standing in his garden and it will probably take him months to fix it. Everyone was very understanding with him, and no one got upset despite his terrible behaviour.

It wasn't easy every day though, Vladimir made a scandal because Ethan was in the small living room, argued with Aaron because he was talking too loudly, with Beliath because he was hanging around in the corridors, with Ivan because he hadn't put his toothbrush in the right place, and he even argued with Raphael over a misplaced book.

The cup overflowed when he found a way to argue with you when he found you reading in the library. What was wrong with him you had no idea, and you didn't want to know. He had been literally unbearable for a fortnight.

You made it clear to him how you felt about his appalling behaviour. In return, he accused you of not paying enough attention to him and of always defending others. The argument got worse and worse, and Vladimir was not gentle in what he said. In the end, you shouted at him that you would not continue the discussion until he apologised.

He locked himself in your room, slamming the door loudly behind him, and you went for a walk in the woods to try to calm down.

You stayed out for several hours before you finally managed to relax. Then you got home shortly before daybreak but instead of going up to your room to go to bed you decided to go to sleep in the pink room.

Vladimir slept very badly. He usually comes and snuggles up to you before bed to get his cuddle fix or to press his cold feet against yours. He is the little spoon in the bed and not to feel tight in your arms there deeply saddened. Moreover, without your presence to reassure him, he has nightmares.

However, he did not come to apologise the next day, nor the day after that. For your part, you don't sulk and you remain open to discussion, but it is out of the question that it is you who makes the first move, again. So, you wait for him to come to you and apologise.

It is after the fourth night that he finally decides to come and apologise to you. 

 "MC?"

You stop and turn towards Vladimir's voice. He is standing in the doorway of the bathroom; you can see his long loose hair hanging over his shoulder. His eyes do not look directly at you, staring instead at the floor at your feet.

"What's wrong?" you ask, hoping he'll finally apologise.

 "Can you come and help me style my hair?" 

You sigh annoyed that he still doesn't come to apologize, yet you decide not to point it out to him and walk with him into the bathroom.

He's sitting on the edge of the tub and you're standing right behind him. Styling his hair is something you usually do quite regularly. Vladimir's is very fine. It gets tangled easily and being quite cozy he tends to complain quickly when you untangle it, yet he doesn't make any comments tonight. The silence seems rather heavy, but you don't dare break it to speak, just like Vladimir.

It is only after several minutes that a slight sniffle attracts your attention. You bend down to meet his gaze, but you can't see it because it is hidden behind his hair.

"Vladimir?"

He doesn't answer you immediately, but you can see him wiping his eyes.

"Vladimir, is something wrong? You can't hide the concern in your voice, but he shakes his head.

"I'm fine..."

You sigh and put the brush on the sink before crouching down and taking her hands in yours.

"I can see that's not the case, sweetheart."

You watch his face a little more carefully, observing for the first time the large dark circles under his eyes, he doesn't dare look at you. Vladimir stares at the bathroom tiles, trying not to cry. There are so many things he would like to say, but he feels as if the words are stuck in his throat, and above all he is afraid, afraid that you will end up leaving, that you will abandon him, and this idea makes him want to cry even more.

"I can't help you if you never tell me what's wrong," you say after a while.

"I..." he tries to look up at you for a moment before lowering his eyes again. "I'm sorry... for the last time."

You smile, you didn't ask for more than that. You kiss her hand gently.

"I'm glad you apologised. I understood why you were in such a bad mood. But, you know, there are many other ways to express your sadness that don't involve yelling at us all night. You say softly, seeking his gaze. We'd probably understand you better."

"I never do things right..." Vladimir replied in a whisper.

"That's not what I meant. First of all, you don't have to hide behind your hair to cry," you joke, pushing aside one of his locks.

He smiles sadly at you before continuing.

"I'm sorry. I... I know I was unbearable, and I should have come to apologise earlier but... I was afraid you wouldn't want me anymore."

"Don't want you anymore?! My darling, I need a thousand times more. I still love you whether you're happy or sad, whether you grumble at everyone or laugh."

His smile widens, he squeezes your hands, and you can see his eyes shine. His words are the most precious of all treasures to him. You hold him gently and he buries his face in your neck to snuggle against your skin.

"I love you," he whispers softly.

Béliath :

It's no secret in the manor that Beliath and Ethan tend to feed each other's bullshit and stupid ideas. It's not always easy to reason with them, getting the incubus or the doctor to understand that their stupidity could put them or others in danger is no easy task.

You argued about it. There's a big party a few towns over. A good excuse to go out and have some fun according to Beliath and Ethan, but this party is in the hunting territory of a clan of vampire hunters. So, no one agrees that they should go, and unfortunately for your incubus, you were much more on the side of Aaron and the others than you were on his.

An argument ensued after you took a stand. He accuses you of not knowing how to have fun, of being too serious. You only have one life after all! The argument went on for several minutes, then Beliath left for the Moondance and you stayed at the manor far too angry to accompany him tonight. Finally, you went to your room to read a book. 

Even though you don't fight often, this argument doesn't really surprise you. For a few days now, Beliath has seemed to be under stress, It turns like a caged lion and making decisions that are a bit more rash than usual. You have tried to discuss this with him, but he has simply avoided the subject.

You thought that Beliath was going to spend the day at Moondance to calm down a bit. But he came home after two hours. He did not speak to you, however, and simply slumped down on the bed with his back to you. You did the same thing and stayed like that for a long time.

In fact, now that he has calmed down. Beliath understands your point of view better. And it's true that all this seems quite risky for one evening. In truth, he wants a change of scene, he spends his evenings at the Moondance or here, when he's not out shopping. He doesn't want to leave here, far from it. But he would love to do things a bit differently from time to time. And he feels like nobody but Ethan understands that.

You put your book down and watch him sulk. Finally, you smile. He don't often sulks, and despite the arguments you may have with each other, you never stay angry for long.

"How much longer are we going to pout?" you ask as the incubus grumbles from his side of the bed.

"I don't know... "

"So you don't love me anymore?" you tease him, leaning in to see his face.

"You are cruel to me..."

His exaggeratedly sulky tone makes you laugh and you play along.

"Me! Cruel. Really?"

"Yes... I'm sure everything would have gone very well..."

"Oh. You're not going to do it again," you scold gently.

He shrugs sulkily as he continues to ignore your face leaning right over his.

"I'm sorry I argued with you. I just don't want to lose my darling."

He sighs but Beliath finally turns to look at you.

"No, it is I who am sorry. I shouldn't have argued with you about something so stupid... I think I'm just a little bored here..."

You nod your head. If his desire to wander away from home is only due to the monotony of the manor, you can find solutions to fix it.

"We could do something else instead of going to your party, wouldn't you like to have a spa night?"

"No... I go every month," sighs Beliath.

"And would you like something new?"

"I don't know... something fun."

"But what would be fun?"

He sighs before shrugging. "I don't know... something a little out of the ordinary."

"You're not helping me much." You laugh.

Nevertheless, you start to think. It's been some time now since you've been out together. Last time you went to the sea, of course you could only go out at night, but you have very good memories of your walks by the water.

However, Beliath wants a change. You smile and your incubus tilts its head slightly as it watches you.

"Have you ever been skiing?"

“Um... No... snowboarding once with Ethan, a long time ago...”

“How would you like it if I rented us a chalet in the mountains for, say, two weeks, just the two of us as lovers. We could go swimming in hot springs, skiing, snowshoeing in the forest.”

“Go on, you interest me.“

“Evenings by the fire watching romantic soap operas while eating chocolate. Listening to all the music you want without being disturbed by Vladimir or Raphael. Falling asleep against each other without being woken by Aaron's snoring.”

“To be able to spend hours in the bathroom without Vladimir turning off the hot water.“

“Or knocking on the door because we're making too much noise.”

Beliath finally laughs before kissing you. 

“I like your idea very much.”

“That's the point! I don't like to see you stressed out. So, if spending a little time, just the two of us, can make you feel better, I won't hesitate.”

The incubus' smile has grown wider. It's quite nice to see that you're taking her emotions and feelings into account to find solutions to its problems. It's not something he's ever looked for in a partner, in fact, he didn't know he needed it until he met you.

“I am so lucky to have you with me. I love you, MC.”

Ivan :

Ivan often does as he pleases and is quite impulsive. However, you don't often argue. In fact, he argues more with the other members of the manor than with you. This has never stopped you from having disagreements. But it gets sorted out quite quickly. He also doesn't hold grudges and he likes having you around too much to stay angry for long.

Most of the time right now, it's about Ethan that you're arguing. The doctor has calmed down a lot since Ivan almost died. But this is not the case with your vampire, who only throws fuel on the fire and rekindles tensions between them at the slightest opportunity.

You've tried to tell him many times to stop it. After all, it's not pleasant for anyone at the manor that the two youngest are constantly engaged in open warfare. This time Ivan went too far in his criticism and reproach of the doctor. And you pointed this out to him, of course Ivan didn't take it well, so a long argument ensued between the two of you and finally Ivan went to lock himself up in the attic to sulk and leave you stranded in the living room.

You felt really angry, especially as your reproaches did not seem abusive. After all, Ethan didn't throw Ivan into Constance's arms and he didn't poison him either. Ivan made many of the decisions that led him to this situation on his own, despite your advice and common sense. It is not even the fact of having wanted to renew ties with Constance and Loïc that you reproach him with, after all you understand that it can be difficult to be brutally cut off from those you know, but rather his lack of prudence with regard to this situation.

Tired from the argument, you fall back on the sofa, massaging your temples in an attempt to calm down. Ivan, on the other hand, is still brooding in the attic. He's heard the same reproaches over and over again and he's realised that he made a mistake. But how could he have known that his ex would try to kill him? Sure, he wasn't careful and he's willing to admit that he put everyone in danger, but he had no idea that such a danger hung over them in the first place.

Ivan sighs and mumbles before kicking angrily at a pile of dust. He doesn't like being asked to be nicer to Ethan either. Who asked Ethan to be nicer to him? Well, everyone at least once, but Ethan didn't do it and nobody blames him! And he's the one who should calm down and stop with his antics! No, there's no question of that, Ethan hasn't even really apologized for his behavior while he's been spending an inordinate amount of time martyring him.

Ivan calms down after a long hour of brooding and since you didn't come to see him, he decides to come downstairs. You have already gone back to your room to get ready for bed. You have calmed down a bit too, enough to convince yourself to try to deal with this problem in a different way and so you smile softly when Ivan enters the room, even if he was still feeling a little bit angry, this disappears completely when he sees your smile.

"I'm sorry I argued with you, sweetheart," you begin.

You don't have time to continue when Ivan replies.

"I'm sorry too. It's Ethan I'm mad at, not you. I shouldn't have gotten mad either..."

You smile more sincerely, you never stay mad at each other for very long. Ivan moves closer to you again to kiss you on the cheek and you stay in each other's arms for a while, which finally calms you both down. Finally, after a silence, you whisper.

"It's the tension in the manor that stresses me out a lot and it would make me happy if you got on well with everyone.... I would like you to be happy."

He remains silent for a moment as he continues to breathe in your scent on your neck. He would have a lot to say about this, but he is searching for the right words to express what he feels. Finally after a long moment of silence, he begins.

"Ethan spent all his time harassing me. He was never nice to me and was always looking for an excuse to kick me out, even knowing full well that I would never have survived out there alone and would certainly have gone on a rampage among the humans."

You listen softly as you stroke his hair, he stops for a moment to let you speak, but as you say nothing he continues.

"I don't want to forgive him like that! He didn't do anything to make me do it, he didn't even apologize once! I know everyone expects me to act like an 'adult', but... Ethan made me feel so alone... no one really stood up for me and... he spent all his time putting me down criticizing me despite my best efforts, sometimes I felt like I was worthless... that I'd always be a burden to others... that I'd never be any good... that I was just an idiot... a shit. I... I didn't want to put anyone in danger... I just wanted to get back to people I had loved and cared about and... in the end they tried to kill me... It's not fair"

His already choppy voice breaks at the end of the sentence and you feel a few tears fall down your neck. You hug him tighter, rocking him gently. Suddenly you understand Ivan's reactions to Ethan much better.

"I'm sorry, Ivan," you whisper. "I had no idea it was this bad."

Ivan continued to cry and you finally lay down against each other and continued to listen to him. It took a long time before he finally managed to calm down and you remained in silence, sometimes kissing his forehead and stroking his hair. Finally, just as he seemed to be about to fall asleep, he looked up at you.

"You won't abandon me, will you? You don't think I'm a failure?"

"I wouldn't abandon you, and I never thought you were a failure, my darling."

Ivan sighs with relief and before his eyes close he gently places a kiss on your cheek before murmuring.

"I love you, I'm happy to have you here."

Aaron :

Aaron is a rather calm person despite his impulsiveness. You rarely argue, almost never, so to speak. It's not in his character and he doesn't like it when you are angry with him, and the opposite is also true, to be honest. However, there is one thing that annoys you about him, namely his ability to jump straight into danger. You don't want to blame him directly, after all, Aaron is the best person to defend the manor, but the fear you feel for him in that moment would make you sick.

This is precisely what you argued about. He had taken a lot of risks in the last few days and you reproached him for it. It must be said that he had once again come back covered in blood and if you refrained from shouting at him while he was recovering you could not keep your calm any longer when he left the bedroom where he was supposed to be resting to go for a walk in the forest.

The tone rose when he came home, he reproached you for smothering him, that you were worrying about nothing, that he needed space. You criticized him for not understanding your reproaches, for not paying enough attention to his health, for constantly worrying. Finally, Aaron left to go and calm down in the garden and you locked yourself in the bedroom and slammed the door.

Since you almost lost him to Farah and his cursed wolf pack, your fear of his death has increased greatly. You've started to have nightmares about it at night and nothing upsets you more than Aaron's apparent detachment from it. He could have died after all, all because of that witch who came to get him to sort out her own affairs! You sigh, trying to calm yourself down. You didn't want to smother him with your concern, only him to realise that he matters to you.

Aaron, for his part, walks around the garden, restraining himself from taking out his anger on the tulips. Your reproaches seem unfair to him. Defending the other members of the manor has always seemed natural to him, especially since some of them are clearly not able to defend themselves. And now he has even more reason to defend the manor, you are part of it after all. The fight with Garrett left a deep impression on him, he thought he was going to lose you that night and he would never have forgiven himself if he had.

After a long time on your own, Aaron decides to return to the room to see you. He felt much calmer and ready to talk to you. However, he didn't really know what he wanted to say to you, let alone how to approach the discussion without you arguing again. He entered the room with as little noise as possible.

"MC?" he whispered softly not knowing if you were already asleep or just lying on the bed, at the sound of his voice you immediately sat up. You didn't want to go down to the garden to give him time to calm down, but you were beginning to find his absence long.

"You're back! I'm sorry I argued with you Aaron." you say without giving him time to speak.

"I'm sorry too."

Aaron comes and sits next to you on the bed, you take a moment to observe him. The wounds received a few days before seem to have almost disappeared.

There is a long moment of silence between you. Aaron is looking for a way to tell you frankly what he thinks without it leading to another argument. On your side, you want to give him some time to talk but after several minutes you end up sighing.

"I didn't want you to feel smothered by my concern for you..."

"I know, I overreacted. But you have to understand MC. I have to protect you, I'll never forgive myself if anything happens to you. I've been thinking about it ever since the fight with Garrett, I put you in danger without even meaning to and I thought I was going to lose you that night!"

"But I was scared too! you exclaim. I've never been so scared in my life, but it wasn't for me that I was scared, it was for you. I would never forgive myself if you died because of me.”

"What do you think? That I don't think about it every day! I think about it every time you leave the manor, I wonder if you'll come back and in what state. The nights of full moons are the worst, I'm afraid you'll run into one of Garrett's allies and you won't come back..."

“MC...”

"I'm sorry. I don't want to fight with you again...," you interrupted, noticing that you had started to get angry again. I'm really scared... that's all.... That night was hell.“

Aaron takes yours hand in his. The gentle pressure stops them from shaking with emotion.

"I'm sorry... I didn't realise you were so worried about me. I'm so used to taking risks for others that I don't think about it."

"Aaron, I love you. Of course I concern about you. I don't want you to get hurt, even to protect me."

"I love you too MC. I can't promise you I won't take any more risks, but I'll try to take less."

Raphaël :

Getting into an argument with Raphael is a feat and not something that happens to you very often. He is not aggressive and does not like to be shouted at. However, all is not always well and sometimes Raphael can be annoying, especially when it comes to Margarita. If in general, you don't really mind hearing about your partner's ex, this is not always the case, especially when he's on a loop on the subject like a broken record.

That evening, you were not really in a good mood, and it was rather bad timing because Raphaël was in a bad mood too. It never makes him aggressive to be in a bad mood, he's just even more sullen than usual and he talks to you about her even more. You clearly didn't feel up to listening to him tonight, despite your good will, you would have preferred him to listen to you this time. So you made the remark, probably more curtly than necessary.

This vexed your vampire a little, as he continued to talk about Margarita, complaining that you weren't listening to him. You made yourself heard more harshly, banging on the desk in anger. You too have problems and you too would like to have a listening ear from time to time, without him coming back to tell you about his ex every other night!

Your anger startled him, but he continued to insist. You don't listen to him and he feels hurt by your reaction. You continue to get angry, seeing more of an intention to make you feel guilty in his words than an attempt to calm the tension.

Finally, Raphael hurriedly locked himself in your room while you fell into the armchair in the library. Despite your anger you quickly calm down. You are not jealous of Margarita, it would make no sense to be jealous of a dead woman, it is only the fact of constantly hearing about her that gets on your nerves.

You grunt and sigh, running a hand over your face. What you said is still true, you don't feel that you are being listened to enough. Especially at the moment, there's a lot to do in the manor since the electricity generator broke down, and the other boys aren't much help, you feel like you're working alone and you don't have a minute to yourself.

For his part, Raphael has locked himself in the bedroom. He is much more sad than angry at having argued with you and he falls into bed with a strong urge to cry himself to sleep.

However, if he manages to cry, he can't sleep, the words of your fight are running through his head. He admits it, he is sometimes annoying when it comes to Margarita, but he is not trying to compare you to her, he just needs to talk, he can't control it. He needs to say what he felt, what he liked to do with her and to talk about her death, over and over again. It's the only thing that helps him accept it at the moment.

It takes him a while to calm down and he feels a bit guilty and he feels a little guilty now. He doesn't know what he could tell you to make it up to you. So he stays in your bed and plays with the blanket between his fingers.

Eventually you decide to go back to your room after an hour. You are much quieter than when you were fighting. You don't know what to expect when you go back to the room. The few times you have been in this situation, you have found Raphaël either asleep or still crying his eyes out.

When you enter the room you see him lying on the bed, you approach him slowly not wanting to wake him up in case he has fallen asleep. But he finally sits up and turns to you.

“MC, it’s you ?”

"Yes, it's me.”

You don't have time to sit down next to him when Raphael is already speaking again.

"MC, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. I'll stop talking about Margarita if that's what you want."

You shake your head, it seems impossible and Raphael doesn't believe he can really do it anyway.

"No. I'm sorry, Raphael," you say softly. I got upset because I'm very tired tonight, I didn't mean to get angry with you and you can talk to me about her as much as you like."

"No, I am the one who is sorry. I shouldn't have bothered you with my problems. I hurt you by talking about Margarita too often. I didn't want to make you unhappy."

"It's true that you talk about her a lot. But don't talk nonsense, it's normal to talk about our problems.

"I've come to bother you with my rantings when you need me... That's not how I should behave. I will make an effort, I promise. You won't hear from Margarita again."

"Raphael, you sigh. I don't want you to stop talking about her. I want you to listen to me a little more. You could start now by trying to understand what I'm getting at, couldn't you?"

"I..., Raphael bows his head, I'm sorry"

"I think tonight was just a bad night and we were both pissed off. It's okay and it will probably be much better tomorrow."

"Tomorrow I'll only look after you. We can go and talk in the garden, read in the library or go for a walk in the forest if you like."

"I would love to," you smile.

Raphael smiles in turn before leaning in to kiss your cheek.

"I love you MC. "

Ethan :

Ethan has a bad temper. He tends to be easily offended and his relationships with others are rather complicated most of the time, especially when it comes to Ivan or Vladimir.

Sometimes, you can't understand what makes him angry. He usually starts complaining about one thing or another and finally explodes all at once. Once he has calmed down, he locks himself in his room and slams the door or goes out into town to sulk.

He doesn't get as angry with you as he does with others. And most of the time, he'll just come to you and complain about others with a lot of yelling and angry grunting before throwing a pillow against the wall (you've forbidden him to throw anything that could hurt someone for a long time).

Tonight you had a fight. You knew it was coming, actually. Ethan seemed more upset than usual in recent days. He'd even had a fight with Beliath, which is rare enough to be noted. So you weren't surprised when he started to get angry after you asked him to speak more politely to Raphael.

He reproached you for meddling in his affairs, then for always taking the side of others and never his own. You tried to reason with him by reminding him of the many times you had defended him against others, but he did not listen to you for a moment.

Finally, he left you in the living room and went to his room, slamming the door loudly behind him, as if to make sure that the whole manor was aware of his anger.

Once in his room, he kicks his dresser, causing some chess pieces to fall. He doesn't stop to pick them up though and continues to rant. To be honest, he doesn't really know why he's so angry tonight. Everything annoys him, Vladimir's rules, Ivan's stupidity, Raphael's kindness. He feels like he could implode at any moment.

Besides, he doesn't feel at all like he's been more unpleasant than usual and if he doesn't shake Raphael sometimes who will? Listening to him he lives in a world full of unicorns and rainbows. It's totally irresponsible of others to never try to bring him down to earth.

On your side, You try to read in the living room, but your mind keeps returning to the argument you just had, preventing you from concentrating on the pages in front of you. You're still struggling to understand what could have upset your vampire so much tonight, but you know him well enough to know that there's no point in insisting when he goes to lock himself in the bedroom.

After waiting for an hour trying to read you sigh. Now that you don't hear any more raging kicks in the walls you are sure that he has calmed down.

Your steps lead you to your room where Ethan has locked himself in. When you knock you hear him mumble at first, but he opens the door immediately. Your vampire seems much calmer as he lets you in, though he still has a slight annoyed pout on his face.

"Still angry?" you ask.

"No... sorry. I got carried away for nothing."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"I don't know. You must have some reason why you got so upset, right?"

Ethan shrugs before sighing.

"No, I don't know why."

"Do you really think I stand up for others more often than you do?"

“No...I said anything... I’m sorry”

“It makes me feel better to know that," you say, smiling gently. Don't think I like others more than you, it just doesn't seem possible.”

Ethan smiled at his turn, this small statement was enough to take away all the tension he was still keeping on his shoulders. You settle down on the bed against each other. He rests his head against you, certain that he will fall asleep quickly now that the sound of your breathing is lulling him to sleep. 

"Would you like to go for a romantic week?

"And where would you like to go?" he asks.

"I don't know."

The discussion stops there for a moment Ethan continues to play with one of your hair strands and you think you're going to fall asleep when he speaks again.

"It's been a while since I've been skiing...

"It'll be snowing soon, we can go skiing near the manor if you want."

"Yes... well, I was saying that about your idea of a week together.“

“You'd like me to rent us a chalet in the mountains," you smile. That's not a bad idea.

"It'll be nicer than being forced to put up with everyone here." Ethan yawns.

"I'll deal with it tomorrow then," you reply, fighting off sleep.

He mumbles in reply but before you fall asleep you hear him whispering.

"I love you MC."

Neil :

You almost never argue. You have to admit that Neil is not very temperamental and even rather easy to live with once you are in a relationship with him. The vast majority of the time, he tries to please you or to ease the tensions that there could be between you. Your arguments are so rare that you don't really know how to react when this is the case and you also try to ease the tensions.

Unfortunately, even if you get along very well, you sometimes disagree and Neil can be hurtful in such cases.

That night was one of those rare times when you argued. A group of vampires had just established themselves near your hunting territory. You felt rather suspicious of them, more than Neil anyway. There was a young vampire among them and you had no desire to be forced to leave because this young idiot would have stirred up a group of hunters. You wanted to flee them away before the worst happened.

Neil was not of this opinion. In his opinion, there would always be time to advise in due course and as long as none of the vampires came to disturb him during one of his hunts he had no problem with staying in the territory.

You argued for a while, until Neil compared you to your parents. You opened your mouth to retort but it was a low blow, comparing you to your mother in a negative way knowing all the contempt and hatred he has for her, you breathed in trying to hold back your anger then got up from the chair you had been sitting in.

"Very well. You'll excuse me, Neil. But I'd rather stop the discussion here, because I don't want to say things I don't mean in anger."

You then left the room without looking back and locked yourself in your room in the hope of calming down.

Neil remained silent for a long time after you left the room, stunned by the way the discussion, or rather the argument, had ended. In all honesty, he had rather expected you to get angry and insult him too.

After two long hours. You're still brooding as you turn the pages of the book you're not really reading. The subject of your parents is a sensitive one for you as much as for him, you still can't fully realize what they did and Even if Neil pretends nothing is wrong, you know him well enough to know that he can't stand hearing about them.

You already work hard every night to erase any similarities you might have with your parents. You don't see what more you can do.

For his part, Neil sincerely thought that it was up to you to apologize. After all, you didn't want to understand that he was right. So he sat down in the living room, crossing his arms in an arrogant and angry way. But when you didn't come back, he started replaying your argument in his head.

After a moment, he sighs, thankful to himself that the comparison with your parents was probably not the most sympathetic. He sees all the efforts you are making not to be like them and he is quite happy about it actually. Your parents are still a recurring nightmare after all.

Finally, he finds you in the bedroom two hours later. You are reading but you can't concentrate on the pages, you are still too caught up in the previous argument to do so.

“MC?”

If this is anything other than an apology, you can go back to where you came from," you reply curtly. I'm still too angry with you to argue..."

"I'm sorry."

You look up from the book suddenly to observe him in amazement. You had expected to have to fight a bit more before you got an apology from him.

"I should never have said that to you... You don't look like them."

I hope so!" you exclaim. I have no desire to be like them.”

Neil comes and sits next to you while you close your book.

"Seriously, compare me to them?”

"I know. I told you I was sorry."

You sigh, his apology so surprising that you almost don't feel angry anymore. Finally, you roll your eyes.

"Okay, it's not a big deal I guess. We were fighting, these things happen."

"Despite everything, I still think I'm right. We can't hunt every vampire who crosses our path."

"Neil. Let's leave his invaders for now, shall we? I don't feel like arguing again."

He smiles and you respond with a pout before you smile back.

"I wish I could stay mad at you, but you're not making it easy, you know?”

"I don't like it when we argue," he replies simply. "Would you like me to do something to make it up to you?"

“I don't know... it's been a long time since you organised a little party. I really liked the one you gave me at the manor..."

“If that's all it is. I'll see what I can do.“

"It's perfect! I'll pretend it's a surprise then."

You lean towards him at the end of your sentence to kiss him.

"I love you," you say.

“Me too”

Hi! What manhwas do you use as a source of inspiration? 👀 Gepard and Sampo being a knight and a mage love interests kinda reminds me about "actually, I was the real one" and I'm a sucker for the "villainess reverses the roles" stories so I'm curious about your recommendations now

HI ANON !!! (=^･ｪ･^=))ﾉ彡☆

so far, my inspirations for majesty specifically have been the following (under a cut since it gets a bit long! my recs will also be under cut :)

"father, I don't want this marriage!" for the whole mc-thinks-dad-hates-her thing (except reader's dad isn't doting/sweet like the fl's dad in that manhwa is ;w; and he probably won't Become doting/sweet, though this is still up in the air. FYI, the reader's dad is actually canon to honkai star rail lore! look him up on the wiki for some more clues on how he'll be -- louis fleming!) "who made me a princess" is going to be the main inspiration for the dynamic between reader and sampo. take that as you will! "roxana/how to save the female lead's older brother" is the very loose inspiration for the four duchies in the stellaron empire. there are many manhwa with this setup of like "three/four/five important/powerful noble families" but roxana is the primary manhwa I took inspo from for this! "actually, I was the real one" is actually part of my inspiration for gepard's dynamic with reader! sampo not as much mainly since I haven't read it in a while, I gotta reread this one lol "the villainess turns the hourglass" is quite a big OVERALL inspiration for majesty. without giving too much away, let's just say that the reader will NOT be a pushover by any means, and will also not be a perfect angel in her second chance at life. also, the ML from this manhwa is a minor inspo for the dynamic between jing yuan and reader! "the remarried empress" is another inspiration for jing yuan. that being prince heinrey! the dynamic between heinrey and navier will reflect somewhat in reader and jing yuan's dynamic "villains are destined to die" has so many good characters, it was a shoe-in for inspiration! dan heng and reader's dynamic will be similar to the one between the FL and winter verdandi, the white-haired love interest. this is because, since dan heng backed down when reader was punished in her first life, she is wary of him in the second. also, the dynamic between reader and blade will be seen as very similar to the crown prince callisto regulus and FL, but maybe with less banter/crown prince being a cheeky bastard lol

that's all I can think of for the time being! I will inform if more inspirations crop up :)

just for clarity, I'll make a list of the PRIMARY inspirations for the dynamics between reader and each of the romanceable characters. some of these may be looser than others! don't take this as like HARD proof/indication for how the dynamics will be, some of these manhwa I haven't read in a while! dan heng x reader -> "villains are destined to die", winter x penelope jing yuan x reader -> "the remarried empress", heinrey x navier kafka x reader -> "the tyrant wants to live a virtuous life", ethan x dorothea stelle x reader -> "beware the villainess!", nine x melissa blade x reader -> "the villainess is a marionette", raphael x cayena sampo x reader -> "who made me a princess", lucas x athanasia gepard x reader -> "actually, I was the real one", joseph x keira ▉▉▉▉▉▉ -> "the villainess turns the hourglass", asterope x aria (this is the only hint you'll get as to who this mysterious love interest is! I tried to think of a better example but this one's ok :)

as for recommendations, I certainly recommend any of the manhwa I just listed. the remarried empress, while not a villainess-reverses-the-roles type, is a VERY good case of revenge served cold and characters you love to hate getting their just desserts. I also like "not-sew-wicked stepmom" for a bit of a less revenge-y but still flipping the script type of manhwa!

thanks for the ask!! （งΦ Д Φ）ง

[mermaidsirennikita]

Before she released devil in disguise, I had a theory that Kleypas would write a book for seraphina (evie and sebastian's younger daughter) and foxhall (lillian and marcus' oldest son) with the she's all grown up trope. After devil in disguise was announced I scrapped that lol. I wonder if she plans on writing more for the other children tho, raphael would be interesting since he was out of the country during devil in spring, devil's daughter and devil in disguise, so we know almost nothing about him.

I also thought Raphael was getting set up for a book because of his absence and also his name? It's a very classic romance hero name.

Tbh, in order to pull it off, I think it would be best for her to keep him wherever he is. First off, I think Lisa could use something new and fresh if she goes back to historicals. (I would not be surprised if she took another contemporary break.) Like, put that shit in France or Italy or something.

And then... I honestly don't want another St. Vincent cameofest. I'm kind of over it. I liked Devil in Disguise, but that wasn't St. Vincent to me, and I'm kind of over him being brought in to prop up inferior narratives.

So like. He and Evie can send Raphael letters.

But yeah otherwise I think she kinda needs to refresh and look into other people. I think Lorraine Heath does a really good job of keeping her universe interlocked without like... overconnecting.

Like, The Scoundrels of St. James was probably her most successful series, and she did a spinoff series about the kids, yes. But first off--I think it being just baldly a spinoff series was way smarter than it being spun as something else, then shoving the Scoundrels in heavy. Yes, Hellions of Havisham kicks off with the hero falling for Jack and Olivia Dodger's daughter, but it's still allowed to breathe. I don't think the other two books really connect to them at all.

Second, she's let them trickle off. She had her shorter series, she introduced Mick Trewlove in her Lost Lords of Pembrook trilogy but didn't then keep shoving them in... She established the Trewloves as a new anchoring piece for her now that the Scoundrels are kinda retired except for cameos. The Stanwicks connect but don't rely. Her next book is going to be about Aiden and Finn Trewlove's half brother, but it doesn't rely. The Chessmen don't rely King.

To me, it's this really intense "here's this major favorite coming in to be overly involved in his kids' love lives thing that really bugged me with the Challon cameos. Because it was more than a cameo, lol. If you read the Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James books, like... the parents are there. But they act like parents. Even when Lovingdon literally fucks the daughter of a former hero and is like "UMMMM she won't marry me???? Make her please??????" the dad is like "that is a you problem" lol. If that was a Ravenels book and St. Vincent was the dad it would have been like, 15% of the novel devoted to his reactions and his dealing with it.

Elizabeth Hoyt did it really well with Maiden Lane, too. ML always set up the next love story with small scenes from the next hero or heroine. But it never felt like they existed there to move the current love story along or insert themselves into it??? That's what really bugs about the Sebastian stuff. I love him, but she over-relied HARD. I mean, in Devil in Winter, she EASILY could've had an older Derek Craven cameo to be like, Sebastian's gambling hell mentor, but she didn't. And that was GOOD.

MOONLIGHT LOVERS; “Could you hug me?”

♪¸¸.•*¨*•. ♪¸¸.•*¨*•. ♪¸¸.•*¨*•. ♪¸¸.•*¨*•.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭: fluff, ML routes (+ Farah and Leandra), comfort. ↝ 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: As I promised, the same version as the Eldarya hcs but with ML! I will probably post mcl ones tomorrow, depending on how my study session goes in the morning… Enjoy! ♡

♪¸¸.•*¨*•. ♪¸¸.•*¨*•. ♪¸¸.•*¨*•. ♪¸¸.•*¨*•.

❖ AARON ;; as soon as he heard your question, he was a little surprised; but he wasn't going to refuse an offer like that. He would bend down a little to fit you perfectly in his arms, surrounding you with protective warmth. Maybe his grip would be a little tight, but not so tight as to overwhelm you, just perfect. One of his hands is on your waist and the other on your head, stroking your hair gently. "Are you okay? Do you need to talk?" It would help you clear your head in the comfort of his embrace, no matter if something bad had really happened or you just needed the hug. He definitely has a quite attractive natural essence that can easily remind someone of the forest and nature. Secretly, everyone in the manor loves Aaron's hugs. Ivan is the one who hides it the least, always hugging Aaron every time he sees him. Bear hugger, definitely.

❖ BELIATH ;; "What a subtle way of saying you want to touch me" He would mock you just with the intention of teasing you a little. No doubt he opens his arms and welcomes you into them. Beliath doesn't hold back with physical contact, and even more when you're the one asking for it. Hugging Beliath is a strange experience, it's not comforting or warm but it does lift your spirits. "No need to ask, if you want to hug me, just do it. It won't bother me at all" He murmurs against your hair, his hands caressing your back. To cheer you up a little more, he'd sway from side to side, reciting some comforting words, sometimes going so far as to say things so out of context that it would make you laugh.

❖ VLADIMIR ;; he’s not the type of person who is into hugs, even though he needs them, he is not used to them and prefers quality time. Anyway, you asking him makes him realize that he also needs to take refuge in someone's arms, so if you are alone, he would hug you and let you see a vulnerable side of him. His grip is firm and quite possessive, that no matter how hard you try to break free in a minute, you won't be able to. Vladimir's hugs are long, in a silent atmosphere and simply enjoying the warmth of the other. You already know that Vladimir is not the kind of person who can properly express his affection with words, so that hug was enough for you to notice the affection he has for you.

❖ RAPHAEL ;; "Yeah, sure, come here" is a hug lover, he enjoys every hug as if it was the last one. Along with Ivan, he’s one of the stickiest huggers in the manor. He initiates the embrace naturally, making you feel welcome and comfortable in his company. He is very gentle, holding you carefully and being patient for as long as you want to hold him. His head rests on your shoulder and in a soft voice he asks "how was your day?", being casual. Raphael is more than willing to listen to you, meanwhile his mind creates different ways to make you happy with whatever he can. 

❖ ETHAN ;; a soft laugh would come out of him despite the cruel urge of saying "no" to annoy you. "Maybe, but it's not free" he would say as he gives you a half hug, placing his arm over your shoulders, but finally laughing and completing the hug. Maybe it's a little awkward, as Ethan is all about giving quick hugs and back rubs. If it's in a slightly more delicate context, he'd try not to make some joke that could be misinterpreted and quietly embrace you, letting your head retreat into the hollow between his neck and shoulder. One of his hands would be caressing your back and the other would firmly hold you by the waist.

❖ IVAN ;; he may seem uncomfortable with hugs, but in truth he is simply shy and needs a push to release that clingy side of him. "YES" and he leans towards you to give you one of the longest hugs you've possibly ever been given. He tends to sway from side to side and hum a song if he really has confidence in you. If something really bad happened, he would opt for the tickle method, making you laugh until you cry. Regardless, whether it's a comforting hug or just wanting physical contact, his cheeks would be tinged with a reddish color from happiness. Ivan is happy with hugs.

❖ NEIL ;; he freezes the moment you ask him that, do you really want a hug from him? No but like- really? He would look at you perplexed, and without saying a word, this is the very first time someone has asked him for a hug. He would open his arms and let you melt against his chest, in a somewhat awkward embrace. Neil doesn't know what to do, so he just pats your shoulders. In a polite way, he would keep silent, letting you talk so he can listen to you or just enjoy the warmth of your body. It may be a short and awkward hug, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you, far from it.

❖ FARAH ;; I wish I could receive a hug from her… sigh… As a way of showing affection naturally she resorts to half hugs, wrapping one of her arms over your shoulders. At the moment you ask her to do so, a small smile would escape her lips to then embrace you firmly, offering support and protection. Her hugs are useful to relax you, and many times even to make you get some sleep. And if you need to cry, do it, she’s there all the time you need, and while hugging her. She definitely will kiss your forehead and say “I love you.” Beemoov I need you to give me content of her…

❖ LEANDRA ;; “Oh, clingy, aren’t we?” Just like her brother, her intention is to mock you in order to embarrass you and then embrace you ofc -she couldn’t lose that chance-. Leandra is not such a fan of hugs, so maybe it's a short hug, but somehow, one of those hugs that brightens your day slightly. If the hug goes a little longer than normal, she would teasingly bite you or just tickle you.

✰; remember to reblog and like to support my content, I hope you enjoyed it!

[piranha-assexual]

I have been in the manwha fandom for only a few months, but there is something that really bothers me. When the plot is time-travel or isekai and the ML had a relantionship with other woman in the former timeline or in the original story, many times I see readers wondering if that relationship was of love or not. There is no problem in wondering, but many readers seem legit upset because the ML did love or had sex with other woman that are not the MC.

I’ve seen this in many forums already. In The Princess Imprints a Traitor, Mikhaelis DID had sex with Rosie, because homunculi ARE sex slaves in this manwha, and there is no way Rosie would have respected him. In I Won’t Acept Your Regrets, Raymond DID at least think he had sex with Lize, because there is no way he would have acepted a child he was sure wans’t his. In The Villainess is a Marionette, Raphael DID love Olivia in his former life, and it is shown in the way he was confortable touching her. The difference in the current TL is that he met Cayena first, and this time she has shown respect for his boundaries and build trust with him. So now, SHE is the one he likes.

There are plenty of stories with this plot, many of them I didn’t read or don’t remember the details right now, but that’s not the point. The point is that I see many readers really annoyed at the ML for having a past or DARING to not wait forever for someone who they didn’t even know existed.

Like, I get it. Everybody wants to be special. We want the love that ML has for the MC to be perfect, we want them to love her more than anyone else.

But remember: people are allowed to have a past, and just because they loved someone once, doesn’t mean that they don’t love you now.
