PLATONIC ALPHABET - SAM WINCHESTER

Warning(s): none i don’t think?? Please tell me if I missed any.

AN: he’s so <33333

Adventures (what kind of crazy shit would you get into together?)

Besides hunting? He probably really enjoys hiking. And if you’d go with him he’d love it. (Don’t worry he’d carry you when get tired)

Bond (what kind of - platonic, obviously - relationship do you have with each other?)

Best friends!! Hunting buds :3

Cuddling (do you ever cuddle? how physically affectionate are you?)

I think so yeah :D! I think he’d let you sit on his lap while he’s researching, ether you also researching or just napping :3

Dance (do you ever dance together? how?)

Rarely, but I think sometimes you’d dance in the middle of the night in the kitchen. Or (probably when deans busy being dead) jamming out too his music in the impala.

Enemies (were you ever enemies? Do you share the same enemies?)

Id imagine you (alike dean) wouldn’t like ruby. Having that precious ‘I told you so’ moment.

But yeah definitely. Like proud Lucifer hater !!

Fight (how often do you fight? how do you resolve conflict?)

I don’t think very often?

And if you would fight it would probably be about demon blood, him risking his life or something silly.

Gain (how have you helped each other improve as people?)

I think you’d be a person sam could actually vent his feelings too, knowing you wouldn’t judge, obviously it would take years for him too fully open up.

But I think he’d see you at least a little more reliable then dean in the way that you’re not blinded by being blood.

Help (how do they ask you for help? how do they help you when you need it?)

He definitely has if hard too ask for help but when he does, expect the biggest puppy dog eyes ever.

And obviously, Sam would do whatever you need, You’re his best friend, how could he not?

Injured/Ill (how would they act if you got hurt or sick?)

Injured? Everything and everyone is dead. He’s getting your revenge for you right after he knows you’ll be okey.

Sick? Be very worried at first, immediately getting you the medicine you need.

Also immediately quarantining you in your room, leaving stuff for you and immediately running out.

“Sammy :((“

“… you’re sick.”

“But :(“

He gives in eventually and cuddles you.

And when you’re done being sick he’s the one being sick.

Jokes (what’s their sense of humor like? how do you joke about things together?)

He probably gives you the :| all the time after seeing something funny.

Like dumb non meaning inside jokes, he pretends too be ‘sooo done with them’ but I love it.

Kisses (do you ever kiss? how? Kisses not on the lips count)

Forehead kisses!!!!!!

(I nearly always says that but omg forehead kisses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

He’s tall so kisses right on top of his head is so real.

Love (how do they show you they care?)

He definitely researches things you mentioned you liked and brings it up in passing convocations.

“Ha, yeah- … remember that restaurant you mentioned like 5 years ago-“

“… how do you even remember that.”

Meeting (how did you meet? how did you become friends?)

Probably hunting or child hood friends :3

Or both!

Nesting (do you co-habitate at all? how?)

I think he’d let you sleep in his bed every once in a while, especially in motels.

Also falling asleep on the couch with him reading <3333333

Oasis (is there a specific place that is “your place”? what is it?)

Maybe there would be a town that John often was near/in that there would be a motel you’d always stay at. Maybe in your hometown? I imagine you’d always have the same room and have scratched your initials where ever you can whenever you were there.

Protection (how protective are they over you?)

Very. Knows you can take care of yourself obviously, but he’d still want too protect you, take a hit for you whenever he can.

Query (how inquisitive are they when it comes to getting to know you?)

He’d let you take your time. Let you trust him before asking anything too personal.

Record (what’s something you’ll never let them live down?)

Kind of guy to have mispronounced a word nearly all his life and only getting too know he’s been saying it wrong when he’s 40.

Support (how would they show their support for you? how far would that support go?)

As long as it doesn’t hurt you, he trust that it’s for the best. So he’d support you in whatever.

Trust (how much do they trust you? how do they show you that?)

He’d actually talk about his emotions. Trust you not too judge him.

Uplift (how do you bring each other up?)

Please hype him up in the most common things.

Like he kills a monster he has already killed a million time and he doesn’t even break a sweat?

“Wooho! Sam!! Go Sammy!!!”

He’d be so happy and all flustered.

He’d try his best too try and do the same for you. (Put empties on try) ((he’d fail so hard))

It’s like when an old person tries too use gen-z slang.

Vacation (do you ever travel together? what’s that like?)

Outside of hunting? Probably no.

Maybe a longer trip too like a tourist trap if you really pleaded for it.

Worry (do they worry about you? how often?)

Definitely, any time you’re on a hunt away for more then an hour. Leaving you ‘check up’ messages every once in a while. And calling dean and Bobby if you haven’t answered.

Xerox (are there any traits or habits of theirs that you’ve picked up by accident?)

Puppy dog eyes, the :| face and big gulps.

Yahoo (what’s an inside joke you share?)

Probably something making fun of Dean, because who doesn’t love making fun of Dean.

Zany (do they have a weird side only you get to see? what’s it like?)

Full on nerd Sammy <333 talking about his silly little intereses and facts <3333

Yandere Alphabet: Red Son

Authority: Do they see themselves as above their obsession?

Yes, yes, and yes. A thousand times over. Red Son’s pride is unmitigatable, an ever-searing pillar of his person. Y/N is viewed as a silly mortal pet, with a collar to boot. Though his opinion of you might eventually improve to seeing you as something of a friend, it still wouldn’t be great.

Bread: Can they cook or bake? Is their obsession responsible for their own food?

So long as they don’t injure themselves further than a mild burn or cut, Y/N is allowed free roam in the kitchen, allowed to make themselves what they please. Good behavior earns them a little fridge all to themselves, stocked with healthy snacks and ingredients they enjoy- Red Son can be generous, when he wants to be.

Not that he won’t steal from your plate if the things you cook look good enough. In a way, it elevates your status with him, sharing food with you as family would.

If you do get hurt too bad, Red revokes your access to the stove, oven, and knives. He’ll starts to make your meals for you, with the addendum that you help with the non-dangerous stages of food prep. Of course, what’s actually happening is that he’s making extra portions of what he likes, then giving it to you. Let’s hope you like spicy food.

Cruentus- How do they respond to Y/N being hurt, both slightly and severely?

Immediate scorching of whoever dared to lay their hands on property of the Demon Bull Family ensues, and then continues until their flesh has carbonized. Red Son will clean and bind your wounds with a firm hand, viciously scolding you for daring to put yourself in a position where you might be harmed in the first place. “My family has a reputation to maintain, you numbskull! If anyone sees you damaged, what will they think of us?!”

This lecture will occur even if the perpetrator broke into the Demon Bull fortress and smashed down the door of your room to get to you. After some time has passed, he’ll feel slightly bad for blaming you, and bring you something sugary to drink.

If the wound is minor, like a cut or scratch, Red Son will scoff at the weakness of your skin and ignore it, mocking you as ‘whiny’ and ‘pathetic’. If the issue persists, he’ll steal a few high quality first aid kits from a hospital and throw them onto your shelf.

Disengage- What’s their response to being ignored?

Laughter. Mocking, howling laughter. And then an immediate removal of privileges and freedom until they ‘grow up’, in Red’s own words.

Enclosure: Where do they keep Y/N? Do they have a place for them at all?

In the Demon Bull Family’s Fortress. Y/N has a section in Red Son’s room all to themselves, with a little mattress and small shelf to fit several personal possessions. During the beginning of their captivity, Y/N will be shown a length of chain bolted to the wall with a shackle on one end- a warning that freedom is now a privilege, not a right. You’ll have to wear it all through the night for many months on end if you make any escape attempts.

Facade: Are they good at hiding their true intentions?

No. But that’s only because doesn’t even try. The most he’ll do is lie to his parents about the depth of his obsession- and they’re willing to believe (for a time) that he merely wanted an amusing little pet to keep him company.

Garment: Do they take control of Y/N’s clothes?

Yes, to a stifling extreme. Red Son will torch the entirety of your wardrobe in order to replace it with something more suited to him and the tastes of his family- expect lots of red and purple. Secretly, Red enjoys matching with you. He might spare a few pieces of your clothing from his fire if you argue to their sentimental value. Also, he’ll do your hair, likely in a way that resembles his mother’s style. He might even force you to grow it out so that he can pin it up in twin ‘bull horns’.

Again, he forces you to wear a collar stamped with the family insignia (pictured here twice, the Chinese word for ‘bull’, written in bone script), but good behavior will have him upgrade you to a large pendant instead.

Also, you’re getting a bindi/tattoo like his- but only after he’s shifted you from ‘pet’ to ‘sibling’.

Handicap: How do they handle Y/N being or becoming disabled?

Unfortunately, a disabled Y/N in the clutches of Red Son is very likely to be the victim of humiliation and dehumanization- for a time. As his affection and care for you grows, the blade of his pendulum swings. He switches quickly from constant mockery and boundary stomping to stifling care and strict restriction. One day he’ll be kicking your crutch or hiding your anxiety meds while you panic, the next he’s demanding you to relegate yourself to the constant use of a wheelchair and punishing you for not taking your medicine where he can see it.

Intertwine- How physical are they? Do they enjoy skinship and touch?

Red Son is pretty reserved in terms of touch- he’ll accept minor displays of physical affection, but rarely initiates. When he does, you can expect condescending headpats and lots of hair brushing. If you’re feeling particularly down, he’ll muster up a half-hearted hug, awkwardly thumping your back.

Jaunt: Are they willing to take Y/N out in public? Where do they go?

No. Not unless they’re willing to be led around by the aforementioned shackle, the chains rattling with each step taken. However, Red Son might teleport them to somewhere isolated and empty for a few minutes, allowing them a little bit of fresh air as a quick reward for compliance and obedience.

Kindness: What brings out the best in this yandere?

The Crystal Heir AU leaves him extremely protective towards Y/N, acknowledging their trauma and suffering- and he works to be a better person for them.

Alternatively, when you get very sick- Red Son will stay beside you all the while, stuffing you with water, medicine, and hand-made soup. Having you completely vulnerable only serves to make him softer, given that you can’t fight or sass him- he might even cuddle you once or twice, letting you rest against his ever-warm body.

Limitation: What holds them back? Work? Family obligations? Physical weakness?

His family’s goals and ambitions are always at the fore of Red’s mind, a perpetual desire to please them. Given the time he has to spend planning or tinkering, Y/N does have time to themselves- enough to plan or attempt an escape, if they can muster the courage.

Morals: What lines are they not willing to cross?

Any form of ‘rigorous’ discipline or outright abuse. Red Son doesn’t want to waste his time doing something like caning your thighs or whipping you hands, and wouldn’t ever beat you outright. You might get slapped on the back of the head or receive a sharp swat on your nose- but he wouldn’t really go any further. Also, no deliberately putting Y/N in danger. He’s just not risking it.

Nausea: Can they tend to an illness, or would they rely on a doctor?

He handles it himself. As mentioned before, Red Son plies you with water, soup, and medicine. He’ll restrict you to his own bed, sleeping in the guest room as you recover- and he’ll sneak in during the night to wipe the sweat from your brow and refill your glass.

Obcordate: What reminds them of Y/N?

Food and drink with warming (but not spicy) spices, like cookies with a dash of ginger and cinnamon. Stray dogs that would be better off taken in hand and brought somewhere safe. Any little flower that’s blooming all alone.

Pacify: How do they comfort Y/N? Do they even bother trying?

Jokes aside, he’s not too great- but there’ll be some mild, concerned effort. Maybe just lay your head in his lap and let him play with your hair- it’s more comfortable for him trying to give you a hug or pep talk.

Queue: Do they have something of equal or greater importance to Y/N?

His family. Red’s obsession with Y/N will never come before his love for his parents, even after they find themselves forcibly ‘adopted’.

Redemption: Could they grow out of their obsession and make amends with Y/N?

Unlikely, but not impossible. After several months/years spent spent with them, Red Son will grow more protective and less cruel, but his obsession never really fades.

Sobriquet- What nicknames do for they have for their obsession?

Many mocking and insulting epithets are bestowed upon Y/N, the most frequent being, you guessed it- peasant. If Red Son grows particularly angry, he’ll get more threatening with his wording, referring to you as ‘kindling’ or ‘firewood’.

After a few months spent in captivity, he might refer to you as little sister (妹妹) or little brother (弟弟). These moments are fleeting, but impossibly soft and genuine- and after a few months or even years spent acclimating to your new life, you might see fit to call him older brother (哥哥).

Troop: How many people do they obsess over? Is that obsession spread equally?

Just one- Y/N.

Underdog: Who‘s on the yandere’s side? Would they help out?

His parents are massive enablers, unfortunately. So what if their son has a little mortal pet? They want to take over the world- Red Son taking one of the mortals that they wish to subjugate as a slave/pet/companion does not bother them at all.

Though they do find you to be very cute- especially when Red Son forces you to dress and style yourself like a member of their family.

Vocalize: How do they justify their actions?

Red doesn’t bother- he doesn’t need justification. He wanted Y/N, so he took them. The end, with no regret.

White Whale: Why do they pursue Y/N? What caused this obsessive love?

Probably they do one or two nice things for him and he snatches them up, not unlike a human adopting a cute and friendly stray. The bulk of his obsession comes later, after he’s spent enough time to start caring about you.

Xanthous: What do they really want?

Approval, attention, and affection. Red Son switches from desperately seeking his father’s pride and love to demanding to have yours, finding it a much easier goal to achieve.

Youth: How old is Y/N in comparison to them? Younger, same age, or older?

Given that they’re almost invariably a mortal he finds amusing, Y/N is much younger.

Zealous: Do they pursue Y/N doggedly, or are they more laidback and casual with their approach?

Red Son is extremely casual the majority of the time- he’s entitled and prideful to the point that he sees nothing wrong with what he’s doing. Why would he be anything but relaxed?

Author’s Choice 1: What do Princess Iron Fan and Demon Bull King think of Y/N?

Iron Fan thinks of you as adorable when Red Son styles your hair like hers, and might even throw some of her old clothes your way- they’re abraded to softness and cozy to sleep in, offering some comfort during long nights. She’s not too opposed to having you as part of the family, even if she has to help her son “train” you into obedience and politeness.

The Demon Bull King uses you as practice for his future rule over mortals, making demands of you. He chuckles as you scurry about to fulfill them, trying hard to avoid his ire. Occasionally he’ll lift you by the scruff of your shirt, examining you closely. It’s fun to watch you yelp and kick, fearful that he’ll drop or crush you- he won’t actually do either, to his credit. It’s just funny to him that you think he might.

It's a bizarre experience growing, not knowing you're arospec. You still plan things like your wedding and how you'd want your partner to be. And everyone just says you're a late bloomer, you meet someone in college or at work!

But you never do meet someone because you just don't feel romantic attraction or feel it differently than others.

Even when you finally accept that you're arospec. And that you're fine without or even prefer not having a stereotypical romantic partner/a partner in general. You'll find yourself sad about it sometimes.

It gets lonely. We're in such a romantic focus society that friendship doesn't have the same value or closeness as romantic partners.

It's also kinda sad to know that those plans you made as a kid/teen will never happen. Even though you don't want that, it's still feels like a dream dying.

Personally, I don't want to get married anytime soon, if at all. But knowing I'll never take my parents' wedding dress shopping kinda breaks my heart.

Two Seconds

C is for Compact

Ohstars Alphabet Prompts | G | 773 words | cw: N/A

---

Eddie does not babysit often. Not alone anyway. And when he did, Bubs was stationary and spent most of his time drooling.

Now, he’s still drooling a lot but he’s mobile. He didn’t think babies could move that fast! Especially ones who started crawling backward. (Which Steve is bizarrely proud of.) But Steve had to go in for a work emergency and Robin still had an hour before she’d be home, so Eddie, the gratuitous roommate and uncle that he is, offered to watch him.

He’s washing dishes, scrubbing the pots from where he’d prepped dinner since it was his turn, and had set up Jackson on a blanket in the middle of the kitchen with some pots and pans. Real classic Munson distraction method here. Little dude was happy as can be beating on the metal pots with a spoon and his hands, coming up with a song only he knew, while Eddie danced to his… music.

“I think,” Eddie says as he glances over his shoulder at a very focused Jackson, “that this means Uncle Eddie’s going to have to splurge on a real nice drum set for your birthday, squirt.”

He winces at a particularly loud bang. “Or maybe I’ll buy it to stay at Grandpa Jim’s, yeah?”

Jackson squeals as he throws the spoon-turned-drumstick.

“You got a deal,” Eddie says, pointing at him with a soapy finger. He turns back to the dishes, nodding along to Jackson’s playing.

He’s so close to being done with the dishes. So close to having dinner on the table and the kitchen cleaned by the time both Rob and Stevie get home, he doesn’t notice the music has… stopped.

The only sounds in the kitchen are the scrubbing of his sponge and the splashing of the dishwater. Not even the soft little baby noises Bubs makes! With a furrowed brow, Eddie glances over his shoulder to see… an empty blanket and abandoned pots and pans.

Fuck.

Eddie drops the pan into the water, grabs a rag, and flies out of the kitchen. He’s not in the living room. Eddie jumps around the stuffed animals and hard, plastic toys Jackson has strewn across the place. How the hell is he so fast? He’s not even a year old!

He’s not in his room, somehow the only clean place in the whole goddamn house, and he’s not in Steve’s room or his. Not in the hall bathroom or the little laundry room that someone must have left open. What the hell?

Eddie’s heart is racing as he barges into Robin’s room, the door noticeably cracked. If he lost their kid, they’ll never trust him again. Steve will never love him and Robin would sick Erica and Max on him or something. Fuck, she’d probably be the one to strangle him first, then unleash the girls.

Before he can panic fully, there’s a clinking coming from Robin’s bathroom. His relief is overshadowed by the horrifying thought that Jackson, sweet little baby Bubbles, has gotten into…. Anything? Everything?

He catapults over the bed and nearly dives into the bathroom.

Jackson freezes, mouth open as he looks up at him with big, curious eyes. His hands, however, are covered in makeup as he digs into one of Robin’s compacts.

“Holy shit, kid,” Eddie groans as he drops to his knees beside him. He pulls the compact out of his hands and starts brushing off some of the makeup.

This, apparently, is the wrong move. Jackson immediately starts to cry, big wails as he reaches for the compact Eddie stole from him.

“Yeah, yeah,” Eddie sighs as he takes the makeup bag that’s spilled all around the bathroom floor and starts stuffing things back in it. “I’m the worst. I know. I’m so sorry I’m trying to make sure you stay alive until your parents get back.”

“Is there a reason my son is screaming?”

The scream Eddie lets out is unholy to say the least. He clutches at his chest and looks up into the mirror above him to find Robin standing in the doorway. She waves at him through the mirror.

“I turned around for two seconds,” Eddie huffs.

Robin laughs and steps around him to pluck Jackson into her arms. “Never turn your back on a baby.”

Eddie rolls his eyes. “I think I’m picking up on that, birdie.”

The door opens and shuts, this time Eddie hears it. Which is just peachy. Now Steve, perfect parent and babysitter extraordinaire, is going to see how incompetent of a babysitter he is. “Is something burning?” he calls.

“Shit!”

He runs out of the bathroom to Robin’s laughter.

---

Thank you @lady-lostmind for beta reading!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! If the event is still going on can you please do M Q V W (platonic) with Sebek 👯‍♀️

Thank you, dear! and don't worry, the event doesn't have a time limit!

Sebek (Platonic)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Memory: Sebek's favorite memory is might be when you two were studying together.

You were having problems with this one section in history class, which just so happened to be a small portion of fae history. Sebek was more than happy to "educate a dumb clueless human". The study session turned into you intensively asking him a bunch of questions about his home, family, and just culture in general, to which he was very happy to answer them all. It's no secret he takes great pride in his culture, so seeing someone take an interest and want to know more about it makes his chest sweal with pride and joy.

Quiet: These moments come extremely few and far between, and the first time it happened it freaked you out, you thought he was hurt or something.

But when they do, very rarely, happen, it's actually quite pleasant. It's usually when both of you are doing your own thing in each other's presence, like your each reading a book or studying. Or it sometimes happens when he is extremely exhausted, sometimes he'll mumble incoherently but that's the most he'll say.

Value: He'd rather be brutally murdered than ever say it but, he highly values your loyalty to him and all your friends. It's no secret that he's a loyal person, though only obviously to Lilia and Malleus, so I think it makes sense that he appreciates others loyalty to him.

Wild card: If your willing, Sebek will teach you some sword fighting. He "normally wouldn't waste his time with a simple human, but since Waka-sama is so fond of you, you might as well learn it so you can somewhat try to protect him. Though the most you'd be is a human shield" as Sebek puts it.

The more determined you are to learn and win, the happier he is and more excited he is to teach you.

M - Mountains

Characters: Aiwendil (Radagast) & Curumo (Saruman)

Synopsis: Aiwendil disturbs visits Curumo while he's working.

Warnings: /

Drabble

"What do you want?"

Curumo gives Aiwendil a strict look. Aulë tasked him with repairing a mountain near Almaren, yet it seems a certain Maia has other ideas.

"Shouldn't you be gathering plants?"

Aiwendil looks up at him with his big brown eyes, fidgeting with the bag he's holding. He appears to be gathering his courage, then suddenly hands him a flower.

"For you."

Curumo reflexively accepts, yet before he can say anything in response, Aiwendil vanishes like a startled rabbit.

Shaking his head, he turns back to the mountain. He may be a fool, but a rather adorable one.

☀️ Friendship Alphabet Template ☀️

Inspired by the Fluff Alphabet created by @snk-warriors. I decided to create my own alphabet which isn't romantic in any way. This is for platonic/friendship stuff, because sometimes you just want to know what being friends with your favourite characters would be like.

@gaycowboywizard helped with the last three letters that I was running out of ideas for lol. Check them out!

__________________________________________

A dventure - (Do they take you on wild fun times out? Are they someone who wants to go on adventures or do they prefer doing something lowkey?)

B onding - (What is the activity which they do with their friend exclusively as their own little friend activity? If so, what is it?)

C over - (Are they the kind of friend who would cover for their friend? Will they lie to others in order to help their friend out of a sticky situation?)

D abble - (Do they encourage their friend to try something out of their comfort zone? Will they push them into doing things they otherwise wouldn't?)

E ndanger - (Do they get their friends in situations that are dangerous? Are they always getting themselves and others in trouble/shenanigans?)

F ake - (Are they the king of friend that would talk behind their friends back? Would they defend their friend when someone else talks behind their back?)

G rudge - (Do they hold a grudge for long when they're mad with their friend? Are they someone who easily forgives?)

H elpful - (Will they help their friend with creative/errands that they need completed? Are they the kind of friend that their friends could trust to borrow or take care of something for them?)

I ntegrity - (Are they honest to their friend? Will they lie to them in order to keep the peace?)

J ester - (Are they someone who jokes around with their friends a lot? Are they more serious? Are they comic relief of the group who uses humour to uplift?)

M otivation - (Does they motivate/inspire their friends? Are they someone who is very charming?)

N aughty - (Are they a prankster? What kind of pranks do they do?)

O pponent - (Are they competitive in their friendships? Do they feel like they have to prove they are better then their friends? Do they compete with other friends to show that they are the best friend?)

P arty - (Are they a party animal friend? Will they be the life of the party? Are they the kind of friend to host parties at their house or would they prefer to just briefly stop in to a party to be polite and leave?)

Q uirk - (Something unique about them which makes them the great or bad friend that they are)

R omance - (Can their friend talk to them about their crushes and romantic interests? Are they inclined to be interested in that or find it boring/gross?)

S ecret - (Are they one to keep a secret for their friends? Do they keep secrets from their friends or share everything?)

T rust - (Will they ever backstab a friend if they felt like they had good reason? How would they feel if their friends ever abandoned, backstabbed or broke their trust?)

U nderdog - (Are they seen as the underdog in society? Are they considered a loser by others?)

V acation - (Are they someone who their friends would want to travel with? Or are they more of a homebody?)

X ylose - (Will they bake for their friends? Are they a good cook or will they set the house on fire?)

Y ule - (Do they prefer to celebrate holidays with their friends over their family? Do they get their friends invested in holidays?)

My love is like an ampersand (&)

I don't want our names intertwined with no space between them, with only a forward slash to keep us distinct. I don't want us to become interchangeable or inseparable. I don't want to blur into you, one word instead of two, losing my own syllables as they merge with yours.

Instead, I want to exist alongside you, linked but with room to breathe. I want my name beside your name but each still its own entity. I want us to be separate individuals but to often be separate individuals together. I want to love you whilst knowing where I end and you begin. I want to be connected to you by the supple thread of 'and', the continual choice to be in each other's lives this way.

I want us to be 'me & you', not 'me/you'. I want to love you like an ampersand; in fact, I already do.

#aromantic #aroace #actually aromantic #Not saying that the kind of co-dependent thing I describe in the first bit #is what all romantic relationships are like.#I just feel like there's something about relationship-describing conventions in fandom #that symbolises what I want and what I don't want in my relationships #as an aroace person who loves my friends fiercely and who doesn't want a partner #(and also as someone who is always searching for fic that focuses on platonic relationships).#Also I know you can put a space between the names when using a / to describe a pairing #but I feel like that's not the norm whereas maybe it is with &#on AO3 at least #friendship #platonic love #awkward aroposting #Also a fun fact about the ampersand is that it was originally made by combining the letters 'e' and 't' for the Latin word 'et' meaning 'an #They used to include it when reciting the alphabet #by saying 'and per se and' which means 'and by itself and'#and that's where the word ampersand comes from #I enjoy etymology facts

PLATONIC ALPHABET - DEAN WINCHESTER

warning(s): none? Maybe swearing?

AN: I actually love him sm <33

Adventures (what kind of crazy shit would you get into together?)

Well, besides hunting? Getting food in the middle of the night.

Also him forcing you too watch ‘doctor sexy’

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Best-childhood-friends.

Flirty at that.

Cuddling (do you ever cuddle? how physically affectionate are you?)

Yes. Either you just lay over him like a blanket or it’s after a hunt.

Sleeping, his head in the crock of your neck, you slowly going over his back and hair, mumbling, reading/watching something in the background.

He’s definitely big in hugs.

Soft and suddel touches are his specialty.

Dance (do you ever dance together? how?)

Jamming out too classic rock in baby is a given of course.

But slow dancing in the kitchen in the middle of the night, or rocking out in the kitchen in the middle of the night is something he’d so do be up for.

Enemies (were you ever enemies? Do you share the same enemies?)

He definitely doesn't like some of the people you call ‘friends’ (like Crowley, Gabriel, etc) if you call any demon/angel your friends he’d probably doesn't love them.

But Lucifer? Pain in the ass for both of you.

Fight (how often do you fight? how do you resolve conflict?)

Probably over you putting yourself in danger. He takes a while to cool down but after he does it you talk it out.

Gain (how have you helped each other improve as people?)

You’d be one of the only people he’d trust to actually talk about what makes him sad.

And the way you’d be there for him, telling him everything’s going to be okey and that he’s doing great, he doesn’t need to be ‘Strong’ all the time, he’d be there for you.

Whatever you need, he’ll get for you.

Help (how do they ask you for help? how do they help you when you need it?)

He rarely does because of him being scared you’ll look down on him.

But it’s definitely when your alone, closed of era.

Injured/Ill (how would they act if you got hurt or sick?)

Hurt? What or who ever hurt you is fucking dead. So fucking dead.

Sick? Baby you as a joke, but of course gets you medicine and food.

Will even cuddle you even if it could get him sick.

“Dean- you’re going to get sick.”

“Mhmm, yeah, but your worth it.”

Jokes (what’s their sense of humor like? how do you joke about things together?)

Most of the time the jokes on you, but like in a loving way.

He’ll also jokingly flirt. Like a lot.

Kisses (do you ever kiss? how? Kisses not on the lips count)

Forehead kisses. Cheek kisses.

Sometimes while he hugs you from behind he’ll plant a kiss right on top of your head.

Love (how do they show you they care?)

He’s very touchy, in a calm way.

Definitely voices it, maybe no by saying ‘I love you’ but I’m other ways.

Makes you a mix tape, let’s you pick the music in baby, even MAYBE would let you drive her.

Definitely tells you random facts about classic rock.

Meeting (how did you meet? how did you become friends?)

Childhood friends.

Nesting (do you co-habitate at all? how?)

At motels, if you want too, he’ll let you sleep in his bed with him, gladly cuddling if you let him.

Oasis (is there a specific place that is “your place”? what is it?)

I can imagine that there’s a place near Bobby’s that you used to go too sense you were kids, maybe like a cliff with a tree house. Going there whenever you want to be alone.

Protection (how protective are they over you?)

Very protective.

Definitely understand that you can take care of yourself from monsters but still would take a hit for you, putting himself in danger just so you don’t get hurt.

Again, will beat up anyone who decides to fuck with you.

Query (how inquisitive are they when it comes to getting to know you?)

Doesn't want to make you uncomfortable by asking to much, everyone has secrets, especially him, but also doesn’t want to you hiding something massive.

For two reasons:

One, it could way you down and make you sad / not feeling like you could be yourself.

Two, it could be helpful in hunting.

That might sound dark and mean, but maybe if it could help he’d really like two know.

Record (what’s something you’ll never let them live down?)

Definitely once got mega black out drunk and just wouldn’t shut up about the most random things.

all from his crushes, fictional or real.

Too how much he loves and cares for you.

And then too really embarrassing moments in his life he has never told anyone.

When he woke up the next morning, very hungover, you had a lot of fun teasing him about it for the next year.

Support (how would they show their support for you? how far would that support go?)

Well, it depends on what it is.

You like something? If he sees something that is alike he’ll steal get it for you.

Lgbtq? Same. (He definitely has some internalized homophobia but he could never point that at you.)

Wants to get out of hunting? Don’t forget him, please, but if you could, he’d be so happy for you.

Trust (how much do they trust you? how do they show you that?)

Tells you it in looks.

As long as you trust him, he trust you.

If you’re unsure about a plan and is a little worried it’ll fuck up, he’ll give you a look of ‘it’s okey, I trust you that this will work’

And when it does work he gives you another one of ‘see? You got it.’

Uplift (how do you bring each other up?)

Tell him how you feel safe and protected around him and he’ll just start to tear up and pull you into a tight hug.

Knowing you feel safe around him is better then anything.

He’d try too get you out of the place that got you down and then ether just talk or listen to music, in baby of course.

If you want to talk, he’ll listen and give advice the best he can.

If you just want to listen to music, even if he’s not into it himself he won’t mention it, singing along.

Vacation (do you ever travel together? what’s that like?)

I mean, outside hunting? Probably not. No where long at least.

Maybe he’ll take you to a diner or some silly place you’d like to go (like a cat cafe) but not like airplane travel/vacation.

Worry (do they worry about you? how often?)

Every time you’re away. Especially on hunts alone. Leaves you messages and if you don’t respond for some days he drives up there himself.

(Yes, a little clingy but he has attachment and abandonment issues okey?)

Xerox (are there any traits or habits of theirs that you’ve picked up by accident?)

‘Son of a bitch’ is a word you never said before you started hunting with dean. You kind of just picked it up.

Not really relevant, but sharing looks of ‘damn (s)he’s hot’ and ‘huh’ and even ‘what the fuck’.

Yahoo (what’s an inside joke you share?)

You’d see like a pineapple or something and just burst out laughing for the dumbest reason.

Like I’d be that you mispronounced something once and whenever you say the word, he’ll correct you with the wrong way you said it like 20 years ago.

Zany (do they have a weird side only you get to see? what’s it like?)

He can be so silly when he’s not sad.

Doing wired shit, making stupid childish jokes, talking shit, watching movies, shopping (with stolen credit cards ofc), even going to like painting or pottery, the places where you just make stuff.

Note

Hi can I please request Yandere Alphabet for MK please 🙏💗 I really enjoyed reading your Redson version

Yandere Alphabet: MK

(Let’s Start Over!MK is now available to chat with!)

Authority: Do they see themselves as above their obsession?

No, not in the slightest. MK views you as his equal, even if he won’t always treat you as such- he’s got the powers and the staff, after all. Why not just leave the hard stuff to him?

Bread: Can they cook or bake? Is Y/N responsible for their own food?

MK cooks and delivers noodles, so he’s obviously got some skill in the kitchen- I like to think that cooking with Y/N (and Pigsy) is a frequent bonding activity for him. Although, he does enjoy just making things for them as a surprise.

Cruentus- How do they respond to Y/N being hurt, both slightly and severely?

Even little wounds like paper cuts are met with worry, bandages, and lots of comfort. If you’re on the younger end, he might even kiss the bruises or scrapes.

If you’re hurt seriously? It’s like a switch flips, albeit temporarily. He’s absolutely vicious towards anything he considers a threat, willing to outright shatter the bones of his enemies to keep them from endangering you.

Disengage- What’s their response to being ignored?

Worry and concern. And then smothering Y/N until they either tell him exactly why he’s getting ignored, or they give up and return to “normal”.

Enclosure: Where do they keep Y/N?

As a noodle delivery boy with a one-room apartment, MK doesn’t have anywhere to keep you, nor does he have a way to get you to his room without alerting anyone.

Facade: Are they good at hiding their true intentions?

Yes, to a certain point. He’s pretty decent at pretending that this is all part of being a hero, trying hard to protect someone he loves. But then there’s little cracks running through those defenses, his clones performing surveillance well into the night, his insistence on Y/N sleeping over for weeks on end, his attempts to scare suitors off… the closer you look, the worse it gets.

Garment: Do they take control of Y/N’s clothes?

Nope- not unless he’s demanding them to wear one of his jackets when the weather gets cold. Also, trashing anything “revealing”. Aside from that, he’s pretty respectful towards their choices.

Handicap: How do they handle Y/N being or becoming disabled?

If they start disabled, MK is an absolutely sweetheart about the whole thing, bringing you your pills in the morning every day, making sure you eat after taking them, keeping you hydrated so you don’t experience nausea/headaches after the dissolve in you. He’ll insist on pushing your wheelchair, or even outright carry you wherever you need to go. Making food that won’t trigger your Sensory Processing Disorder, bringing you new clothes that won’t make you itchy, etc.

If they become disabled, MK blames himself for not being a better hero for you and triples down on his protectiveness, potentially even locking you inside for days on end to prevent your condition from being worsened again.

Intertwine- How physical are they? Do they enjoy skinship and touch?

Eleven out of ten, here. MK’s hands are always on you. Your wrists and head and hair and back and waist, hugs and pushes and pulls that keep you where he wants you, ready to drop everything and cuddle you at a moment’s notice. He just needs affection so bad.

Jaunt: Are they willing to take Y/N out? Where do they go?

Yes! He wants to take them all across Megapolis and show them so many cool things. Museums and cheese tea stalls and pop-up events and the zoo and every fun thing he can think of that might make you smile and laugh- without putting you in any form of danger.

Kindness: What brings out the best in this yandere?

You. His family. Being a hero. He won’t ever stop being a kind-hearted young man, no matter how severely his obsession might swell.

Limitation: What holds them back? Work? Family obligations? Physical weakness?

Yes, yes, absolutely no. He still has to earn money and save the city/world and spend time with Pigsy and Mei and Tang and Sun Wukong. He’s a pretty responsible kid in spite of everything, which means he’s far from the worst potential yandere- if you have a good enough heart to save innocent people at the risk of your life again and again, you aren’t going to be that bad of a person, even if they’re struck lovesick with obsession.

Morals: What lines are they not willing to cross?

MK won’t resort to any form of physical punishment, not even ear-dragging. No (intentional) gaslighting. No harming your friends and family, unless they prove to be a serious threat to you. He wouldn’t withhold affection or love, nor would he smear your reputation or destroy your livelihood.

The point of him obsessing over Y/N is to keep them safe! He doesn’t want to hurt them at all!

Nausea: Can they tend to an illness, or would they rely on a doctor?

If the home remedies that Pigsy has taught him don’t work (unlikely) he’ll resort to a doctor’s professional advice- probably Mei is the one who foots any fees, just to lend a hand to her best friend.

Obcordate: What reminds them of Y/N?

Sunflowers, towering blooms that represent warmth and adoration. Sugary drinks to binge during movie nights. White lilies, symbols of innocence and sweet-natured souls. Marshmallows, soft and squishable and sweet.

Pacify: How do they comfort Y/N? Do they even bother trying?

Movie nights with lots and lots of snacks, soda, and junk food. Monkey Cop, for something mindless and fun. Some of Mr. Tang’s scholarly lectures, for interesting background noise. And cuddles.

Queue: Do they have something of equal or greater importance to Y/N?

His friends. His surrogate father. Megapolis. The world. He can’t just throw that all away for one person, as much as he loves you.

Redemption: Could they grow out of their obsession and make amends with Y/N?

Season Four would redeem him. The Ink Curse shreds him a brand new hole over his obsessiveness, about how it’s hurting him and Y/N. How he’s a worse hero for it, how he prioritizes his obsession even over people who are in more danger, how he’s butchering his training by skipping to spend time with them, etc.

And it actually works. MK realizes that he needs to back off and work to overcome his obsession, for both him and Y/N to be happy. It might not ever fully leave, but it does get much better.

Sobriquet- What nicknames do for they have for their obsession?

“Mèimei”, for someone he views as a little sister. Dídí for someone he views as a little brother. And he hopes that you’ll repay the favor and call him “Gēge”.

Troop: How many people do they obsess over? Is that obsession spread equally?

Just one- Y/N.

Underdog: Who‘s on the yandere’s side? Would they help out?

Mei, who agrees that Y/N is a big cutiepie and needs to be protected. Pigsy and Tang, who want their surrogate son to be happy. Wukong, who just doesn’t want the kid to lose someone he loves. All of them are willing to “babysit” on occasion, too.

Vocalize: How do they justify their actions?

MK will just say that anything he does is for the sake of “protecting” Y/N, and he believes it with all his heart. It doesn’t help that none of his closest friends call him out of any of his more unethical actions for a very long time.

White Whale: Why do they pursue Y/N, exactly?

They’re sweet and precious and helpful, and he doesn’t want to see the world so carelessly rip that away from them. MK lost a lot of his innocence and gained trauma, and he’s intent on keeping them safe and sound and mentally well, even if it’s by destroying anything that dares threaten to harm them.

Xanthous: What do they really want?

Unconditional love and support from someone he cherishes.

Youth: How old is Y/N in comparison to them? Younger, same age, or older?

Younger by at least a year. MK wants to be someone’s “big brother” so bad. He takes that role very seriously, too. Holding your hand as you cross the street, tucking you in at night… even as a yandere, he’s kind of a sweetheart.

Zealous: Do they pursue Y/N doggedly, or are they more laidback and casual with their approach?

He’s rather dogged, honestly. There’s an almost sweet enthusiasm to his protectiveness, like a guard dog who just wants the praise of his master.

Author’s Choice 1: Would anyone else go yandere for this specific Y/N?

Yes. Pigsy and Tang both insert themselves into Y/N’s life as father figures, agreeing with MK that they need to be protected, if not outright sheltered. The kid is sweet and polite, offers to help constantly, is always volunteering in community projects and lending a hand to those in need.

How could they let the world rip up something that is so unabashedly good?

Author’s Choice 2: Do you have any AU’s involving this character?

Aside from Primal Moon, the afore-mentioned Let’s Start Over!

Basically, several after MK’s adventures end and he’s grown up, a notably innocent and sweet kiddo comes along and meets him on Flower Fruit Mountain, having taken the mantle of ‘Monkey King’. (I’ve also considered calling him ‘Monkie Knight’ in this AU given the whole ‘working for the king and fighting for good’ thing. Still ironing it out!)

He decides to start training them so that they can one, intent on teaching them everything he knows. MK tears out an itty-bitty portion of his power and stuffs it into Y/N, allowing them to wield the staff. Once they’ve mastered enough of his skills to wield it, that portion gets pulled back out. (And Y/N is out to bedrest for three full days, just in case it hurts them.)

The new Monkey King/Monkie Knight seems kind, and really he’s not all that bad-

But MK is trying to relive his story through Y/N, and constantly impedes their own journeys to make them safer. The hero is basically forcing someone else to avoid the traumas he went through so he can feel content, as though his own traumas never occurred.

And this works out decently, until Y/N starts going their own path by redeeming a villain that MK never thought he’d see again.

What Doesn't Kill You, Transforms You

Summary: Part IV of the Alphabetical Outcast Series and Day 3 of Bridgerton Appreciation Week (which took place back in August 2021 - hello June 2022).

Sylvie (OC) is the eldest child of Hugo Bridgerton, a cousin raised alongside the infamous Bridgerton brood. Born in between Daphne and Eloise, Sylvie has made it her mission to delay her season again and again. Daphne tries her hand at discovering the motivations behind her stubborn cousin’s position.

Characters: Sylvie Bridgerton (OC) and Daphne Bridgerton

Bridgerton Appreciation Week Prompt/ Theme: Transformation (very behind schedule, but I already had these all planned out/ half-written so you’re getting them anyway)!

Part I - The Firstborns

Part II - Ignored Advice

Part III - The Art of Winning

Part IV - What Doesn't Kill You, Transforms You

AO3 link for the series

Please take a moment to tell me what y'all think! Reviews and comments are always appreciated. 😌❤️

Sylvie backtracked at the gentle call of her name, Daphne’s voice registering as barely above a whisper as it carried from the nursery door. Sylvie hadn’t noticed her cousin and the baby there in the room as she passed, her mind muddled with what seemed like a million other thoughts, her eyes set out through the windows toward the moonlit grounds rather than the wall of doors as she wandered Aubrey Hall.

The truth was Sylvie had actually forgotten the wing might even be in use. For much of Sylvie’s life, the room had been brimming with Bridgertons, but the youngest—George, Gregory, and Hyacinth—no longer passed their hours in nurseries, especially not during a weekend away at Aubrey Hall. And Daphne’s baby had been so quiet since they arrived, so proper and polite for a mere infant. Sylvie had almost forgotten there was such a small child among their party.

Sylvie stopped in the doorway, watching Daphne with her child, a faint smile on her face at the naturalness of it all, the way the two had almost melded to one, so in tune with one another that Sylvie in an instant was entirely certain she’d never be cut out for motherhood. While Daphne’s mothering, like that of Violet’s, made a beautiful harmony, Sylvie imagined only dissonance in a future like that—a clash of misunderstood notes and crashing symbols at all of the wrong times. It all sounded to Sylvie like a song no one wished to hear, a musicale everyone would wish to skip. Sylvie included.

“The baby was fussing and I didn’t wish to wake Simon,” Daphne offered, providing answers to questions that hadn’t even been asked. Daphne knew Sylvie would get to the question eventually even if she seemed lost in her thoughts now, still positioned by the open doorway. “You can’t sleep?”

Sylvie shook her head, stepping into the room. “I didn’t think anyone else would be awake at this hour.”

“Just the three of us,” Daphne said smiling down at the baby, “And our Anthony, I suspect.”

Daphne watched the curious change come over Sylvie’s face as she uttered her eldest brother’s name. There had always been a bit of tension between Anthony and Sylvie, even from the time Sylvie was still in leading-strings, but it was a complicated relationship. They fought like no others, but there was an obvious bit of camaraderie between them, too—a certain alliance there that Daphne had at one point harbored a bit of jealousy for. There was an understanding between Anthony and Sylvie that tended to endure…even when the pair were fighting, something seemingly unshakeable, immovable. And while Anthony and Sylvie treated one another much like the other Bridgertons did—as pseudosiblings more than distant cousins or as an unfortunate responsibility as many other families might—the interactions were different for Sylvie and Anthony in very subtle ways.

For one, Anthony and Sylvie rarely recruited others into their arguments. Disagreements remained a battle of wits between just the two of them. The squabbles were resolved usually within a matter of days after a spirited bit of back and forth and they seemed to have an equal chance of coming out as the victor. They always heard each other out, even when Sylvie had been quite young.

Daphne had always been a bit surprised by that, by the way her brother allowed and even supported Sylvie forming and voicing an argument of her own. He’d supported it with Sylvie more than he ever had with Daphne until recent years, but the problems settled between Sylvie and Anthony now seemed different somehow—charged in a way they hadn’t been during previous seasons.

Daphne would have felt inclined to speak to her cousin on the subject whether or not Anthony pulled her into his office shortly after her arrival. Regardless of her brother’s interference and Hyacinth’s excited report of all that had passed during the final round of the Bridgertition, Daphne would have approached it if only to see where Sylvie’s mind was on the matter. Daphne had an idea of where Sylvie’s position lay. The girl had been settled on the subject for years, but there was no harm in asking, no harm in exploring Sylvie’s motivations behind her stance. She suspected the lack of curiosity was what had gotten Sylvie and Anthony to this point in the first place.

He didn’t understand Sylvie’s position of avoidance. Daphne didn’t entirely understand it herself either. They had all been brought up by the same set of governesses. One would have thought the Bridgerton girls to be of a similar mindset on such things. From the outside, they seemed rather similar, from the smattering of physical features they shared to the way they all traveled about Mayfair together, but Daphne and Sylvie had always differed, same as they’d differed from Eloise, Francesca, and Hyacinth—each of the girls unique and full of opinions and plans, all of the things women and girls weren’t meant to be.

Daphne was the most traditional of them, always had been. She had always been ready for marriage and motherhood, but she hoped the child in her arms would be more like her sisters and cousin, even if Daphne was inclined to agree with her brother. Sylvie had put off her season for long enough.

“He’s told you, then?”

Daphne ran a finger over her baby’s cheek, considering the merits of evading the truth by uttering a simple, “told me what?”

Daphne refrained from asking the question. She knew Sylvie would see through that and would rail against it. And then they’d get nowhere, possibly only moving backward, further solidifying Sylvie’s stance against it.

“Yes,” Daphne said. “He has. And he asked me to speak with you on the subject.”

“To find where my head is at?”

Daphne nodded. “More or less.”

“Not in such kind words, I presume?”

Daphne didn’t answer straight away, a meager smile gracing her lips. “Nothing I wish to repeat in front of my child.” Daphne rolled her eyes gently, somehow managing to still appear graceful in the gesture.

Sylvie let out a soft snort. Angry as she was with her cousin, it still amused her to imagine Anthony raving about his office, his hands and arms shooting about as he delivered a sermon to Daphne outlining Sylvie’s transgressions and his associated frustrations.

“And you agree with him?” Sylvie prompted.

“Marriage can transform a person,” Daphne answered, her focus on the bundle in her arm, one hand unconsciously traveling to the other child growing in her swollen middle. “Motherhood as well.”

Daphne had been transformed from her very first meeting with the Duke, changed already in those very early days, even if it hadn’t been love at first sight. Sylvie couldn’t quite place her finger on what had changed in Daphne though. Her cousin had always been pleasant, rather a motherly sort, doting on the little ones and the not-so-little ones, Sylvie included, in a way that could only be described as maternal, but there was a certain ease in her about all of that now, a confidence and poise Sylvie couldn’t fathom.

Daphne had made her cousin privy to many, though far from all, of the ways marriage had changed her, and even if she hadn’t, Sylvie had watched Daphne and Simon ride the initial ups and downs of the institution like a wave, playing spectator as wedded bliss bashed them both about on the rocky shore. Sylvie found it hard to forget, even if Daphne and Simon had found themselves in a more calm place now after the transition.

“And what if I don’t wish to be transformed?” Sylvie finally asked. She watched Daphne run her finger along the sleeping infant’s cheek as the child whimpered, an indulgent smile on Daphne’s face as her deepening breaths slowly guided that of the baby to drift back towards sleep.

Daphne looked up to her cousin with a fond smile, one not all too different than the smile she had just given her sleeping child.

“What?” Sylvie prompted. “I can tell you have something you wish to say.”

“I only wonder…Well, is it the idea of change or marriage that you’re fearful of, Sylvie? Motherhood?” she ventured.

“I…I don’t know. Change, I suppose…” Sylvie bit her lip. “Or a bit of all three, perhaps.”

Daphne nodded her understanding. She lifted herself and her child from the rocking chair and she sighed, feeling sorry for her cousin’s uncertainty, an unease Daphne had never had to endure, not on this particular subject, at least.

“Well, I do fear that change happens to us all, cousin…whether we wish for it or not.”

Sylvie took in a breath as she considered the words. Daphne was right, of course. She would never be able to keep things the same. The baby in Daphne’s arms was proof of that already. It wouldn’t be long before her cousins and brother were all doing the same, branching off and starting anew. And what sort of life was she truly expecting to have? That they’d all grow old and gray with Aunt Violet at Bridgerton House.

“But whatever comes, we’ll always have family to lean on, yes?” Daphne held a hand out to Sylvie. “And the benefit of a good night’s rest to make things clearer,” she added, glancing at the hand Sylvie had yet to take. “Come, Sylvie. We’ll not sort this tonight, so let’s the three of us return to bed.”

Sylvie didn’t argue. She slipped her hand into Daphne’s and allowed herself to be pulled to her feet. She allowed Daphne to usher her back to her bedroom. The casual mothering and advice offered, both familiar, and sometimes tedious offerings, by Daphne were tonight a small comfort to Sylvie.

She would have usually argued that sleep wouldn’t come with her mind cluttered as it was, and even if it had, Sylvie ordinarily would have insisted that a night of lying unconscious in her bed would bring her no answers, but she didn’t fight. Daphne’s words carried more weight tonight, whether from the late hour or Sylvie’s weary heart or simply due to the small child resting in Daphne’s arms.

Even if she had protested, Sylvie wouldn’t have had much proof of her argument because she’d had to stifle a yawn while they walked back towards their rooms. The simple question Daphne had asked—the one with a very complicated, muddled answer—had made Sylvie very tired, tired enough that she fell asleep nearly as soon as she slipped back under her covers, her unconscious mind working through the intricacies of thought her conscious mind wasn’t quite ready to tackle.
