James, holding up crumpled potions homework
James: is it possible to iron paper?
Remus: the steam might ruin it
James: steam? What kind of straight iron are you using?
Remus: as opposed to what, a gay iron?

and the part of your world references that the mangaka was able to sprinkle in!!!
the second page though... main story in game already gives you the idea that Azul was planning all this for so long, but the manga showing Jade bringing the underwater breathing potion in a really nice box really sets it in how much planning went into this, and everyone walked into it...
also Azul looks so cute here wtf ;;;;;;

heyyy, how are you
I was wondering weather you could do a regulus x female reader with prompt 31. so they're both Slytherins and there's a lot of tension between them because they both like each other but are too scared to admit it and then they get into a stupid argument like over hw or a potions assignment and the reader says shut up and when she kisses regulus, he's shocked but pulls her back for another one.
srry that it's long lol
Tumblr media
Hi there! I’m great, thanks for the request, it took a while to reply, I’ve been rather busy, but here you are, I hope you’ll like it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Reg, can you just focus on the assignment! We have to get it done because McGonagall will murder us if it’s not done today, we already got an extra week!” She says annoyed and he rolls his eyes.
They where in Reg’s dorm, finishing an assignment they chose to do together.
“We’ve been working for hours. I need a break from this stupid assignment, and from you!” He raised his voice slightly as he got up from his seat, Y/n also stood and followed after him.
“What do you mean a break from me? I’ve done nothing but make this assignment, while you just sat around not doing shit!” She says angrily and a bit hurt.
“You are the transfiguration genius, besides, you didn’t even let me touch a bloody quill! Saying you where writing everything!” He turns around and she narrows her eyes.
“Because it looks better if it’s in only one handwriting you blithering idiot! Not to forget I told you to keep reading the book to me, which you did not do!” She started raising her voice aswell.
Regulus grumbled something and then combed his hand trough his black curls for a moment in a rather stressful manner.
Though she was mad, Y/n couldn’t help but blush as she looked away quickly. Though she composed herself and continued.
“What? You have no excuses anymore? Honestly, Black, you should really learn how to finish a fight if you keep starting one.” She points out and he is at a loss for words for a moment.
“Oh I keep starting fights? It’s all my fault now? Obviously I’m going to start fights when you keep ordering me around, and then I want to stop and you still keep going!” He pointed an accusing finger at her as he took a step forward and she one back.
“Merlins balls, I really regret partnering up with you out of all people.” She grumbled, folding her arms over each other. “Should’ve just chosen Evan.” She mumbled, but he heard and he couldn’t help but grit his teeth and silently curse the blonde boy.
“Oh, of course, Evan would be a much better pick then ‘always starting fights Regulus Black’ maybe he would just rip the work in half in a fit of rage, or curse at you for doing something wrong!” He started another kind of fight and her head snapped towards him.
“Hey! Evan wouldn’t do that! What is wrong with you?” She took multiple steps his way and he stayed rooted in his place.
“Oh? What is wrong with me? What’s wrong with you?! You keep accusing me of all sorts of shit and it’s getting annoying, you know.” He yelled and she huffed.
“I’m accusing you because it’s true! There’s no reason to get mad at me for shit you did because I said it out loud!” She poked a finger in his chest and grabbed her wrist and narrowed his eyes.
“Stop.” He said and her angry frown turned into a confused one. “What?” She asked and he sighed. “I said stop, you’re being rather annoying.” He said and her frown became angry once again.
“Oh, I’m the annoying one? If you had listened to a word a I said the past few minutes, maybe you could realise I’m not the problem here!” She hissed angrily.
“Oh right, right, I remember, I was so annoying you would have rather done this project with Evan.” He pointed out and she rolled her eyes at the fact that’s the only thing he could remember.
Why was he even mad about that, was he jealous or something- holy crackers, he was! No, he is! He’s jealous, she couldn’t help but smirk as she thought it.
This smirk didn’t go unnoticed by Regulus and he squeezed her wrist bit. “Maybe I would’ve been better of doing the project with Marcella.” He snarled and her eyes traveled towards his and he saw the storm raging in them.
If there was someone is Slytherin house Y/n hated, it was Marcella, always one upping people, a huge pick me, and she was always over Regulus, talking to him, hugging him almost sitting on his lap.
She knew he was trying to make her jealous, and for Merlin’s sake, it worked.
“Shut up!” She said angrily and he raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?” He said mockingly. “I said shut up!” She repeated and he looked a bit surprised.
He was about to open his mouth but she leaned forward and caught him up in a kiss before he could start his sentence.
When she pulled away, he was surprised and most of all, flustered. “Once again, I said shut up.” She said with narrowed eyes. He blinked for a moment, but then he pulled her towards him and kissed her again.
She leaned into his touch and put her hands behind his neck while he put his own on her waist.
They pulled back and she smirked. “I can’t wait to see Marcella’s face when she finds out about this one.”

Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Fred Weasley x Reader
Warnings: She/her pronouns, fluff, golden retriever!fred, established relationship
Summary: You have Fred trained well
----------------------------------------------
*Y/n's POV*
Soon it will be Christmas, and I will be going home with my boyfriend to meet his family for the first time. It's exciting and scary at the same time, but for now, we live like normal. I had just gotten to breakfast when I realized I was missing my potions text book, we had potions first. I let out a frustrated groan.
"What's wrong m'dear?" Fred asked worriedly
"Nothing, just left my text book in the common room, I'll have to eat quickly then go grab it" I breath out
"Ah, no love, I'll go get it! You eat, I've been down here for a while"
"Oh will you Fred?! Thank you m'love!" I kiss him on his cheek before sitting down tiredly. If I had turned around I would have seen his blush and the way he touched his cheek with a soft smile before he went to go get the book
"Whipped" I hear Ginny say under her breath, I look toward the girl with a smile
--meeting the family--
I had been anxious to meet his family, I don't know what they're like. That's why I brought a deck of muggle cards to maybe teach Mr. Weasley a couple games.
I obviously had already met, Percy, George, Ron and Ginny. But the others I had never met. The door gets thrown open
"OH! HOW WONDERFUL! Y/n, we've heard so much about you!" I get pulled into a hug from Mrs. Weasley.
"And I, you! It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Weasley" I suddenly felt calm in her embrace
"Oh please, please darling call me Molly" she starts "We've already started dinner, I hope you don't mind"
"Of course not! please lead the way" I follow her right in through the living room to the kitchen and table area "lovely home you have" I say as I looked around with wide eyes, adoring the wood, adoring the homeliness
"Oh thank you dear, such a sweetheart" she mumbles the last part, hand on her heart
"Oh! Dar-mling! Hw ar ya-" Fred says, while chewing his food, I simply tap my finger to my lips and he lets out a sound of recognition, he chews his food quickly (with his mouth shut), swallows and stands up
"Sorry about that love, How are you?" he asked kindly
"I'm great, darling" I look over to his family who, other than Percy, George, Ron and Ginny, looked shocked
"Bloody hell, that's a brilliant witch!" a tall, muscled, red head, with scars all over any area showing, approached me "I'm Charlie, Charlie Weasley, whatever you're doing, keep doing it."
"Haha, He's trained well" Molly approached with a huge hug
"You are my new daughter in-law, I will accept no one else"
"Oh-Pfft" I let out a giggle as I turn back to Fred, he looks toward the floor with a shy smile and light blush, I grab his hand and sit at the table with my new in-laws
As the night continued I had played 4 or 5 hands of poker with Mr. Weasley and Fred, who was sulking because we were going to play without him
--The common room--
"Darling, hand me that" I pointed at the book to the left of the chair I was on, that was on a stand nearly connected to the couch
"of course Love" he said quickly while playing with a fire cracker he found in one of their old trunks
"Thank you love"
Ginny looks at Ron who looks at George, they all then break into laughter
---------------------------
That's all I got folks

Random Coven Head HCs
Just for fun, and I'm avoiding HW.
Mason and Vitimir are both perfectionists. Mason because he accidentally constructed one of his school projects wrong and he had to start all over the night before it's due. Lil' Mason got his first few gray hairs that night. Vitimir because he wanted to try and get his parent's attention by being top of his class. Even thought that didn't work, it's also so he doesn't have his potion blow up in his face. Literally.
Hettie has multiple "projects" going on, involving some TF2 Medic-like abominations. Belos is glad, yet terrified to have her on his side, or else his heart may not be his own one morning. Also literally, she is insanely fast.
Adrian has a 2 hour morning and night routine that rivals Darius' 30 minute morning routine. When in college, his suite mate and roommate had to time their trips to the bathroom very carefully. That, or try to convince Adrian to wear a concealment stone.
Osran briefly had a job of being a fortune teller. He was fired for seeing the customer's future all the way until their deaths. He still does it and knows when and how Terra will die. And has told her. She might as well drop there with how close it is.
Eberwolf has brought fleas into the palace not once, not twice, not even thrice, but a total of 15 times. No one knows how, but it's a week of hell each time. It takes Mason, Vitimir, Darius, and Osran to just hold him down while the Scouts try to quickly draw a bath. All but Osran get fleas since he uses his spirit hand and they envy him for it.
Terra tried to poison Hettie out of spite by putting crushed up poisonous berries in her drink. Well, what she thought was Hettie's drink. It was actually Vitimir's, but because of his corrosive breath/acidic saliva, it had no effect. But he says it made the drink taste sweeter!
Raine and Eberwolf have this "duet" where Raine plays their choice of instrument and Eberwolf howls along extremely off key and off beat. Raine tolerates it because it agitates Terra in the morning and karma is a bitch.
Mason, when overwhelmed, curls up in a ball and makes a sort of "cave" around himself for a bit until he feels better. The one downside is that he forgets to deconstruct these "caves", so there's just nests made from the ground all around the castle grounds. He gets overwhelmed by his students mostly, so Raine lends him some sympathy.
Darius accidentally told Adrian to "try and relax" after Adrian realized he has a cowlick. In a nutshell, it wasn't a pretty sight.
Kikimora almost got eaten by one of Terra's plants. No, obviously Terra isn't sorry. No, the plant isn't sorry either. No, the plant didn't want to eat her after tasting her. Yes, Kikimora taunts it after that.
Adrian and Vitimir hate each other. Adrian has rearranged Vitimir's messy, but organized potion room multiple times. Once, all of his ingredients were in alphabetical order, another time was by color, and the last was by the height of the containers. Vitimir gets his revenge by switching his shampoo with hair dye. Adrian's hair has been every color of the coven system.

I was thinking about how you said Ace had a little bit of an exhibitionist kink. And then I got to thinking about Ace sitting in your lap, cockwarming you while he "studies" in his room, only hidden by a small blanket over your laps. Then maybe Deuce comes running in asking for hw help or maybe to hang out and just. Refuses to leave hehe
That got me horny, shit. Thanks for requesting!
Hidden
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Character: Ace Trappola
Genre: Smut
Warnings: sub!Ace, dom!gn!reader, amab!reader, exhibitionism, deuce makes an appearance, cockwarming, anal sex
a/n: a character is aged-up and depicted as 18+ y/o
Tumblr media
"I can't do that! Pull it out, please." Ace shifts in your lap. You let out a 'tsk', ignoring his pleading eyes. It was his idea to study together, but you knew that the word "study" was a bit too unrealistic.
"Stop moving or I'll make you wear a cock ring. You just gotta answer correctly to all of those questions and we're done." Your hands steady him by his waist, lingering there, before you grabbed a blanket and covered your legs.
Time went by as Ace was struggling to get pass question number five, he kept glancing back at you and clench around your dick. He was cursing himself on choosing to study in the library and not in one of your rooms. He knew that even though you were in a pretty secluded corner, still someone could walk by and see you.
And, unfortunately, that someone turned out to be Deuce Spade. He waved at the both of you and landed his butt on a chair on the opposite side of the table. "Phew! I almost thought I wouldn't find you. Thanks for letting me study with you both, [Name]!"
"Ah, no need!" You felt Ace's hole squeeze hard around you, "You said you need help, right? Don't mind Ace, he's got the hang of it. You'll answer those yourself, wouldn't you, Ace?" He nodded at your question, gripping a pen in his hand. You motioned Deuce to sit next to you.
"What's with the blanket?" He pointed at the fabric draped over you and Ace, "Are you cold?" You nod, before telling him to open his book. Deuce drops the subject and shows you things he didn't get from Crewel's lecture. Ace lets out a sigh, pressing his legs together.
"...Yeah, and if you add a sprinkle of Golden Powder it'll make your potion glow..." You shifted yourself closer to Deuce, the tip of your dick pressed against Ace's prostate. He grabbed the edge of the table, a low groan formed in his chest.
"Ace, you good? You look kinda pale, buddy." The ginger waved his hand, leaning against your chest. "Yeah, yeah! 'M good. Just, uh... Just hit my knee on the table, haha! A-anyway! Deuce, aren't you supposed to be on a club activity now?"
"Ah. Yeah, but the exams are coming soon, so I decided to skip a couple of practices and study. Ace, are you sure you're okay? Your legs are shaking." Deuce reached his hand to Ace's thigh, making the latter jump. Trappola tried to move away, but your cock in his hole didn't give him much opportunity.
"A-ah! I'm fine! [N-Name], tell Deuce about that powder more!" You laughed quietly, before averting Spade's attention to something in the book. Ace bit his bottom lip, grinding down on your dick. He couldn't believe his friend was sitting right next to him, while Ace was trying to fuck himself on your cock.
What would Deuce think? Somehow it only aroused Ace more. He wanted to be caught, he wanted Deuce to find out. Ace was considering to subtly shift the blanket off of himself to reveal what was going on under the fabric. Your fingers tapped his thigh, drawing his attention to you.
"Ride my dick. Deuce won't notice, he's too busy." The ginger stifled a whimper, his studies long forgotten. He, as carefully as he could, lifts his hips up and sinks back down. He struggles to keep his sounds in, breathing erratically. "Don't cum. If you do, I'll make sure to fuck you in front of a whole Heartslabyul dorm."
"Hm? What did you say, [Name]?" Deuce whips his head to the side, facing you. You notice a slight tint of pink on his cheeks. Interesting. "No, no. You must have misheard it! Let's get back to studying."
He knows. He definitely knows. More so, did he just get hard from knowing his friends fuck right next to him?

New Wind HC time. 
I think Wind is the most ask no questions ride or die link in the chain. 
What do I mean by that? 
I mean for example, if any or all the chain members where taken hostage, and their capture looked at Wind and said, “I’ll give them back only if you pulk out one of your eyes.” Before he finish the last letter wind would have a knife in his eye and be yanking it out. Won’t have his ears pieced but will pull his own eye. 
The reason I hc this is  because of the incredible lengths wind went to save Aryll, and Tetra. I think it created a very unhealthy view of his own physical safety, kind  like a, “Who cares about what happens to me! If it meant keeping them safe I set myself on fire.” Since I do think he has a very deep connection to the chain this mentality covers them as well. 
I think they were never able to break Wind’s line of thinking 100%. Like in HW Warrior and Mask notice it, but its more. I’ll give you my entire fortune, weapon, potion, etc. Or fist fight someone if I have to to keep you safe. (Aka. any soldier that talked smack about Warrior, to nearly the point of mutiny.) However, during the events of LU they realize how extreme it is, and that Wind is willing to unreversible physical harm. 
I think it’s so bad that Tetra, and Linebeck, have to warn the chain. Just, “He is the most self sacrificing person you ever met.” “Aw that’s sweet the puts others first.” “NO! I mean literal Self sacrificing, as in he will sacrifice himself, any way he can mind, body, spirit.” “The scariest part about it is the lack of hesitation....Then he will just smile at you like he doesn’t understand he matters.”

the hw anniversary came up, so maybe some warriors fluff? just any general fluff or maybe the reader going out of their way to do something for his birthday since they're always on the road in lu 😅
A/N: warriors deservin' all the love rn, kind of gotten carried away with this one and not my best 😅 Hope you enjoy tho!
Tumblr media
The town quietly rises with the sun. The slow bustle in the morning, people roused from their homes, giving gentle good mornings to each neighbor that stepped outside. The sweet, raising smell of freshly baked bread with the lingering scent of rain from last night's shower filled your senses, warming your bones deeply and soothing your weary traveling soul. Doors to shops opened, and people organized their stalls to sell the weekly produce, whether it be fruits, trinkets, or fish sold by the Zora.
The slowly turning season chill air morning caressed your skin, making you huddle deep into the blue scarf. Humming delightfully to yourself at the comforting scent it brought you on your journey through the awakening town. The wicker basket you held that Hyrule graciously lent you for the day; was tucked into your side with slowly growing items placed within the basket. Quietly and mentally checked off every delicacy, potions, and separate items on the list that you and the group needed for the road.
Passing by a stall, a leather-colored book caught your eye. Backpedaling a bit, you gently picked the book up, marveling at the craftsmanship. The engravings were a work of art, the golden stitching barely peeked through, and it was enough to make a fellow craftsman jealous of the beauty and love the maker put into it. You opened it, noticing a long deep green thin strand of fabric resting between the empty pages. The edges of the paper glinted in the sunlight. It was perfect.
"Are ya interested in tha', friend?"
You looked up and saw the rather tall vendor with his arms crossed over his chest, a proud twinkle dancing in his eyes underneath heavy dark brows. His greying hair pulled back into a low ponytail and his beard split into two small braids. A pang went through your heart at the thought of similarities to the one back at home. He nods his head a little towards the book,
"My finest one r'ght 'ere, created 'ith all my heart, and I've noticed ye taken a liking to tha' one. 'ould ye like ta buy it?" He leans on an arm, raising a brow at you.
"For how much?"  
" 'out 335 rupees, friend." You grimaced, gently settling it back onto the stall; he halted you from pulling away.
"Though, I'm willing to 'ower it since I know it'll be in such good care."
The vendor insisted a wrap around the journal in a fine cloth before placing it into your basket. With a hearty, parting wave to each other, the sun rose high in the sky, and you quickly headed out of the town back to the camp with the basket full of goodies.
"You've been out for a while; got everything?" Warriors nodded his head towards the basket. You give him a small smile, pulling out the wrapped journal and pressing it into his hands. He stares at it in shock, glancing at you before removing the cloth. Wide blue eyes marveled at the journal,
"I thought you might like it, so I got it for you to write in, and since we're on the road a lot, I figured I get it for your birthday," you muttered. You brushed some of his hair away from his face and pressed a butterfly kiss on his cheek, watching amused as the pale skin slowly turned red.
"Happy birthday, my love."
