Lmao I really love how canonically Alcina said this to her daughters:
@ Bela: “I expect results.”
@ Cassandra: “you’re my daughter, act like it.”
And then there is Daniela and Alcina is just “have fun!”

OMG OMG OMG, DUDE YOURE STORY IS LITERALLY SO GOod like the way you write each character has me swooning and exactly how I picture them. Bela’s HBIC attitude but secretly sweet, Cassandra’s reluctance to show she cares, but you know she does from the little things, Daniela is so f*cking perfect ahhhh. I’m not lying when I say I kick my feet in the air with the little fluff sprinkled in. I don’t even care if there is plot anymore I JUST WANT MORE CUTE SHIT PLEASE.
AND you brought me to TEARS with that reveal. Ain’t no way reader is gonna come in and slaughter my babies. Like I was genuinely upset (not surprising tho I tear up killing them in the game. Like I’m at the 4 hour mark and still avoiding the Library and Armory LMAO) but no please don’t make this a angsty ending I’m begging let my babies be happy pleassseeeee.
I actually am not able to read a triple Dimitrescu gang bang (LMAO WhAT???) with out the proper characterization, or at least how I picture them. AND YOUVE NAILED IT SHEEEEESSSHHHH. Cassandra has me squealing the most tho, she’s so precious even tho she’s trying to be a mean >:( ( I’m on chapter 10 so I’m not caught up but this ^^^^^^ is what I think so far lolz.
Sorry this is all over the place but I’m an absolute slut for Bela, Cass, and Dani, like I know Dommy Mommy is there too but like I’m here for the fruit flies. They’re my favorite and it’s hard to find good fics with them and I love yours sm.
SIDE NOTE HAVE YOU LISTENED TO “Don’t Save Me” by Chxrlotte. Bestie when I say this is readers song, I mean PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND READ THE LYRICS WHILE YOU DO. TELL ME ITS NOT THEIR SONG. EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT I THINK OF YOUR FIC PLEASE LISTEN.
Anyways love ya, you’re awesome 🫡🫡🫡
THE WAY THIS JUST MADE MY ENTIRE NIGHT PLEASE SDKJFHSDKJFHSD HOLY SHIT <3333333
i definitely do not recommend reading very far on this blog until you get caught up 😭 there are a lot of spoilers from other chapters that i'm sure you'd want to read firsthand <3
BUT HHHHH THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY, i see the Dimitrescus getting mischaracterized SO often and it upsets me so much :( like they're so much more and so much DEEPER than what a lot of people assume, and i've tried my best to portray that in this story to the best of my ability. it makes me so glad to see it's being received well 😭😭😭
i don't plan on a completely angsty ending!! i couldn't bear to leave them with unhappy thoughts or anything, even if i might joke about it 😭 i can guarantee things might get more convoluted from here on out (especially with Lunatic's (the copy's) attitude and all), but i am here if you have any questions!!! i love helping y'all understand as well as i can :D
Alcina is definitely still there, and she has her moments, but i've been a bit... biased?? with the fruit flies??? i adore them to pieces and they've been getting WAY better treatment 😭 i've also been trying really hard not to make anything between them gross or even with their bits of jealousy, trying not to make it weird?? despite all of them sharing someone??? which really isn't hard to do and i wonder why some people cough struggle with that 😭😭
ANYWAYS I HAVE NOT LISTENED TO THAT BUT I 100% WILL!!!! i'm about to go lay down (sleepy after work) and i will absolutely analyze this song while i rest. i love when y'all recommend songs RRRRR IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY
okay anyway enough rambling KSJDFHS my eyes hurt. i'm so glad you're enjoying the fic so far and i hope it'll only get better (though perhaps more confusing) as you read further <333333 HAVE A LOVELY EVENING OR DAY OR WHICHEVER IT IS FOR YOU!!! <333333

"Hello, hatchling."
The blonde gasped, shooting around to face the voice oozing off the very walls.
Cassandra stepped out of the shadows, leaning against the wall with a hum.
"Cassa--Black God, stop sneaking up on me!"
"Forgive me, I just love seeing you squirm. It's absolutely salacious how lovely those breasts of yours are."
Bela blinked, eyes wide and cheeks red.
"I-wh--"
Cassandra grinned, stepping forward to rest a hand on Bela's shoulder. "I'm kidding you! Honestly, you need to lighten up a bit."
"Kidding?" Bela raised a brow and took Cassandra's hand. "Since when did you censor yourself? Finally learned some manners?"
"You could say that." The brunette hummed, voice raising in pitch just a tad whilst the lilt of her voice went sour. "Anyway, what are you doing?"
"Nothing much. Research mostly. That thing you and Dani found in the beast's heart got me thinking--"
"Ah, the mold spore!"
Bela blinked at the genuine enthusiasm on her sister's face. "Okay, seriously, who are you and what have you done with Cass?"
The brunette froze for a moment, watching Bela with almost narrowed eyes. "Oh, you're joking! Sorry, couldn't tell."
The blonde chalked her Wolf's behavior up to the fiasco with Mother the other night.
"Yes, well... the spores were sent to Lady Beneviento, she should get back to us about the contents soon--"
"I thought Daniela was a master at botany and the like?"
"Yeah, but she's made herself scarce ever since that nightmare in her room. I don't... I think something's up."
Cassandra gave Bela a joking shake in the arm, beaming at her. "She'll be fine. Our vixen jumps back rather quick, wouldn't you say?"
Bela snorted. "Faster than me..."
"Oh, you sell yourself to short! You bounced back from Atonement just fine." Cassandra smiled, stepping past Bela to check the research spread across her desk.
The blonde stared at the back of the woman with wide eyes.
"...I...guess?"
"It is strange that you needed to recover from Atonement, though. It was a gift to please her, after all."
Bela stepped back from this figure that obviously was not Cassandra.
"Cassa?"
The brunette turned slowly.
"Yes, Bela?"
The heiress brandished her sickle slowly, stepping back while the other stepped forward.
"...is there something you want to tell me?"
Cassandra tilted her head in thought, gleaming yellow eyes brighter than Bela's ever seen them. They almost looked liked--
"Mother Miranda."
Not-Cassandra sighed heavily, sickle brandished already and head turned high at the ceiling in exasperation.
"You're too clever, Seraph."
Bela blanched, lurching back and presenting her sickle. "I Atoned for my sin. Your quarry is with me, you leave her out of this." She growled, baring her fangs.
The brunette stepped forward, smile gone and eyes glaring gold back at her. "She's unfortunately the only suitable one for my current tasks. She's physically more capable then you and our vixen, she's become so isolated from the Swarm thanks to her work as the Hand that you and your family hadn't even realized she was my puppet--"
"Puppet--you... Cassa..." Bela whispered, staring at the body before her. "This isn't shapeshifting--you fucking--"
"Yes, yes. I'm her, she's me, in the flesh." Not-Cassandra hummed, almost bored. "Hatchling, I made it very clear of the standard I needed set. She meets that very standard so I'm utilizing her assets."
"Can she even hear me?"
"No, she's far away right now. It was actually quite a pain, to disconnect her from the Swarm's hivemind entirely lest you and Daniela interfere and pull her out."
"Disconnecting--you disconnected her?! That could kill her, Mother Miranda! What do you want?! Tell me, I'll do it. Leave her alone!"
Not-Cass rolled her eyes. "Bela, this kind of behavior suits Daniela but you? The heir? Calm yourself. She's perfectly fine." She huffed, ironic timing seeming to chime in when black ichor leaked from her nose and corner of her mouth.
Bela resisted the urge to vomit.
Wolf!
Love!
Come back!
"She can't hear you, well, I suppose the better term would be understand you. It sounds like buzzing drivel."
"Give me back my sister, you hag." Came the warning growl of the eldest, the heir, the dragon's successor.
"I'm afraid I won't be doing that, pet." Cassandra's face pulled in a neutral glare, face set and eyes caked in golden yellow.
Bela made to rush forward and slash her, do something to wake Cassandra from this nightmare only to be pinned against the wall by the arm of the very sister she'd comforted nights ago.
"See? Capable. As useful as you and your sister are, I needed someone who wouldn't falter under stress, under pressure, under torment." The impostor murmured, not even struggling to hold Bela's throat as the heir bucked and kicked and clawed. "She's a perfect puppet. She jumps when I pull her strings and when I awaken her, she's none the wiser."
Bela hissed through words that wouldn't form, the grip about her neck tightening and tightening.
"Sleep, Seraph. And when you wake, know that your sister has finally taken a step into my Light. This is Cassandra's Atonement, not yours."
Her vision grew splotchy, head swimming while the grip finally loosened.
Bela collapsed against the floor.
As she fell unconscious she swore she heard the sounds of her Wolf.
Screaming and Howling her pain, her agony, her pleas.
Pleas for the Crow to release her.
Don't hold my Cassabela against me, Anon. That's cruel and unusual punishment! But please, more?

I love your writing.
if it's not too much trouble may i make a request? I'm thinking the Dimitrescu women meeting and/or courting a fellow immortal.
the circumstances of the immortal's powers and possession of immorality are entirely up to you. I just like the idea of them meeting someone they could literally spend forever with...because they deserve it ❤
I wasn't sure if you wanted a story or headcanons? I went with HCs, here, but if you wanted more of a drabble or whatever just lemme know and I'll write something like that.
Also, I got excited and carried away so this has the whole Dimitrescu family, plus shorter ones for both Mother Miranda and Donna. Admittedly Alcina's is also a little on the shorter side? I tried to write everything that came to mind, but I am kinda tired right now, sorry. Might reblog this and add some more later.
(Under read-more for length)
Cassandra:
Tries (and fails) to hide her excitement. Mortality is one of the bigger things that has made her keep her distance to others, at least in the past. Every Maiden she’s ever been the slightest bit smitten with, up until this point, has been incredibly fragile. Seeing as she’s not exactly the softest person, one can easily imagine why that would be a turn off for her. But now that’s no longer a problem!
On the other had… having an immortal partner gives Cassandra pause. Why? Because what if they breakup? Normally, she can just, ahem, “dispose” of any exes (regardless of how much it hurts) so she doesn’t have to see them/deal with them anymore. If that’s not an option, she’ll definitely take longer than usual to do anything about her feelings. She wants to be sure, 100%, before she gets in over her head. Chances are she won’t hold back for as long as she wants though.
Likely to have a loud, messy confession. She’ll have been avoiding you for a few days, always ducking out of whatever rooms you enter, leaving you both hurt and confused. After enlisting the help of her sisters, you’ll be able to corner her outside. She’ll tell you, under no uncertain circumstances, to leave her alone. But you’ll refuse, demanding an explanation.
“I thought we had something. I thought you cared,” you’ll snap, eyes watering. “If that’s changed… if I was wrong, just tell me. I’ll leave and I’ll never come back.” Cue thunder and raining (because tropes) and Cassandra dramatically pulling you into a kiss, holding you so tightly you think you might bruise. Then she’s demanding that you stay, refusing to apologize but making it clear just how much she does care.
Being immortal, you’re not as defenseless as some of Cassandra’s past interests. Naturally, she doesn’t get quite as protective as she normally would. She’ll still have your back no matter what, ready to fight by your side against any foe, and will probably consider doing so a “fun bonding activity”. Oh, some lycans are encroaching on Dimitrescu territory? Time to go destroy them, as a power couple!
Despite having all the time in the world, Cassandra won’t change much of her actual courting behavior, nor the rate at which things advance. She’s still gonna get handsy fairly early on, still gonna “rah!” at you in the hallways, and still going to struggle with her jealousy.
Immortality Compatibility: I can see Cassandra going for another vampire (or vampire adjacent) creature, or someone demonic. She likes her lovers a bit rough, with some nice bite to their personalities. If you’ve got sharp teeth, or claws, or glowing eyes? Oh boy, she’s gonna be making heart eyes at you all the time.
Bela:
If your immortality isn’t immediately obvious, Bela is over the moon with joy when she finds out. Her eyes will go wide for a moment, before she tries to seem calm (so as to not freak you out), but her heart is pounding. This is what she’s been hoping for. As much as Mother Miranda has done for her family, there’s no guarantee that she’d be willing to give more. Even if Miranda granted Bela’s lover her “gift”, there was no telling what the results would be, or if the lover would survive. Now that there’s no need for such a transformation, it’s far easier for Bela to imagine herself in love (and eventually be in love).
Slow-burn romance over a decade or longer, oops. Doesn’t even necessarily mean to take things so slowly, just doesn’t feel a need to rush things, preferring that they develop organically. With both of you having unlimited time, you’re both used to working on a very large timescale. Maidens watching the two of you probably place bets on how long it’ll take you to hold hands for the first time. Everyone knows it’s coming, but no matter how much Cassandra and Daniela complain, Bela refuses to jump into things. By the time the two of you are officially together, you’re probably madly in love with each other.
More protective than Cassandra, if only because she knows just how rare you are. Immortal or not, you likely still have a weakness, and Bela will do everything in her power to make sure no one else knows what it is. If applicable, she will also ensure she has a countermeasure readily available. For example: If you were weak to fire, she’d make sure that the castle keeps extinguishers handy, just in case. Though they should probably already do that. Not that the Dimitrescu family cares much for OSHA compliance.
Somehow grows more in love with you with every passing year, and makes sure that you know this. Whether you’ve been together for one year or one century (because in this house we ignore canon), she’s always performing little acts of love, giving constant reminders of how strongly she feels. Gifts, special dates, book recommendations, etc.
Immortality Compatibility: Bela seems like the type to go for someone with a calming presence, and perhaps somewhat of a contrast to herself. I can picture her with someone somewhat angelic, or druidic, someone very in tune with nature. She’d love to feed deer with you and relax in the forest! Or lay against a tree by your side, listening to you talk about various microorganisms for hours at a time.
Daniela:
Practically tackles you when she finds out/connects the dots. This is just like one of her romance novels, where a lonely (attractive as fuck) immortal spends years in isolation before finally meeting the love of their life, who they get to spend the rest of eternity with. Absolutely ecstatic about the whole situation. Won’t stop kissing you and pulling you close, rambling about how great it’s gonna be to spend your lives together. Honestly? Kind of overwhelming. You might have to remind her a few times that you don’t have to rush into things, considering you have all the time in the world.
Introduces you to people as her “super cool/rad immortal life partner”. Genuinely cannot bring herself to not brag about you. If her sisters haven’t found someone like you yet, you can bet that Daniela will tease them about it all the time (much to their annoyance). If Momma Alcina doesn’t, though? Dani will keep her thoughts to herself, thank you very much (being grounded at her age does not impress the s/o).
Tries not to show it, but she’s actually very nervous. You’re immortal! You’ve probably seen a lot of shit (she certainly has)! Worries about keeping you interested in her, though she would never admit it. This tends to lead to her performing ridiculous acts to showcase her affection, regardless of the cost or, like, whether or not you’d even enjoy whatever she has planned. In order to counter her anxiety, you’ll want to reassure her whenever you can, and give her plenty of “I love you”s.
Strikes a decent balance between Cassandra’s nonchalant attitude and Bela’s protectiveness. Will defend you if you need it, playing up the romantic aspect, but also entirely willing to hide behind you in a scary situation.
Immortality Compatibility: Having probably read Twilight… Dani would date a werewolf, as long as they weren’t the smelly kind. Also interested in a sort of “magical”/elemental type, especially if their powers are influenced by emotions. In other words, if someone flirts with her in front of you, and your response is to subconsciously light your hands/the other person on fire? She thinks that’s hot, pun intended.
Alcina:
“Oh? Interesting,” she’d say, smiling softly (and trying to ignore the heat rushing to her face). Similarly to Cassandra, she’d try to play it off, not wanting to seem too excited. And, well, she’s not as excited as any of her daughters are. After all, she’s had more time than them to “get used” to the idea of outliving any potential romantic interests. So, she’s not exactly desperate for a relationship, even with someone she could spend an eternity with.
That being said, if she is romantically interested in them, she’s very relieved. Outliving a loved one can be incredibly traumatizing (fuck you c*pcom, you know what you did), and knowing that you’re safe (or at least safer than most) brings her no small amount of comfort.
Also, just glad to have another person close to her age around. Her daughters are somewhat stuck as young adults, and I imagine Alcina would want someone who gained immortality a little later in life, such as herself, as opposed to, ya know, reminding her of her children. That probably goes without saying. Hopefully.
More so than her daughters, Alcina would change her level of protectiveness depending on her s/o’s power level. If you’re a shapeshifter who can also turn into a big ass dragon? Then she’s not going to coddle you. If you’re immortal but still vulnerable, then she’s going to do her best to keep you safe, even going so far as to enlist the assistance of her daughters. “If you see a single Maiden growing mistletoe, or bringing some in from the village, let me know immediately,” or something like that, depending on your weakness.
Immortality Compatibility: Definitely would want someone in a situation similar to herself, having once been truly human, only to be “elevated” by something. Bonus points if you’re another disciple of Miranda, double bonus points if Miranda specifically “made” you to be Alcina’s boo/honey/darling/dear.
Bonus! Mother Miranda:
Oh god finally someone who won’t leave her (can’t leave her). No one can take you away from her, and that’s a relief that she’s been craving for over a century. Even if romance isn’t high on her priority list, she welcomes it with open arms, glad to have someone by her side through all of life’s chaos.
Admittedly slow to trust at first, probably just using you as a tool at first. But prove yourself enough, show that your devotion is more than just misdirected self-interest, and she’ll start to warm up to you. Forming a real relationship would likely take a couple decades, similar to with Bela. Once you are together, however, the two of you are inseparable in all matters.
You’d be her #1 follower, most trusted adviser, and the only person allowed to understand 100% of her thoughts and motives. While Miranda wouldn’t allow you to be seen as the same level as her (sorry), you’d still be a legend among the villagers. To them, you’re Mother Miranda’s champion, the epitome of a devoted follower that they all aspire to emulate. Not that they know the two of you are a couple, though.
Immortality Compatibility: No gimmicks, no cheap tricks, she wants (and respects) a fellow scientist, someone who clawed their way through adversity and forged themselves into something indestructible. Double the interest if you did so for a similar cause to her own, as she would appreciate your ability to relate to her suffering.
Bonus! Donna:
Someone to play with! FOREVER! No more losing people she cares about, no more accidentally breaking people, no more people scrambling to leave. Now that she has you, she can finally spend some quality time with another (living?) person. Honestly her dolls (or at least Angie) are just as excited as she is. Regardless of her relations with the other three Lords, Donna much prefers the company of a lover.
For real though she’s shy as hell and you might not even realize who’s pulling the strings until you’ve been in her house for over a year. She’d probably use her powers to trap you inside, at least at first, though they’d be nice hallucinations. You’d have to treat the dolls nicely, especially Angie, before she’d let you interact with her.
Eventually you’d be allowed to leave, and you’d be given a key to return whenever you wanted to. Assuming that you do, in fact, come back, the two of you would have a very, very slow romance, if only because of Donna’s anxiety. Hand holding makes both of your faces turn beet red, seriously.
Immortality Compatibility: *chanting* GHOST GIRLFRIEND GHOST GIRLFRIEND POLTERGEIST PARTNER POLTERGEIST PARTNER WOOHOO! Something with a flexible, only-sometimes-tangible form, who absolutely could have left at any time but didn’t because they wanted to stay.

I have Cassandra Dimitrescu brain rot and it literally Won’t Leave Me Alone so here are some headcannons:
she’s mean as FUCK bc she doesn’t know how to deal with her emotions in a healthy way
very mean to her sisters too but like... (affectionate)
also she’s the only one that can bully them, if anyone other than herself even LOOKS at them funny, that person will definitely go missing
“nobody bullies my siblings, except for me”
has Protective Older Sister vibes even though she’s not the oldest and is extremely protective of her family
particularly when it comes to Daniela. Cassandra has like a sixth sense where she can tell whenever her younger sister is in danger and goes RUNNIN to check on her.
Cassandra, weapon drawn: “DANI WHATS WRONG ARE YOU OK??”
Daniela, swinging from the ceiling by her foot: “Oh, hello sister. It seems I have stepped on my own trap.”
Cass, exhausted, pinching the bridge of her nose: “Daniela. What the fuck.”
Cassandra gets her down and smacks her on the back of the head (but not before subtly checking her for injuries)
she has a very hard time opening up to people bc she feels weak when she does and she HATES feeling weak
the only person she has ever cried in front of is their mother
and speaking of Alcina, Cassandra definitely gets her protectiveness from her mother. those two turn into a pair of rage monsters whenever someone they care about gets hurt.
one time Bela got severely injured by a lycan and Cassandra was like: “Those stupid mutts, i’ll kill them all, I swear!” and moves to leave but her mother stops her, “Hold on daughter, it’s quite rude of you not to extend the invitation.” and they both leave, eyes completely black with rage and murder. Daniela stays with Bela but waves them off happily in the background. “See you soon! Bring me back a lycan heart!”
does not know how to deal with her anger and sometimes has to punch the brick walls in the basement just to release some of the energy
her knuckles are almost always cut up and bruised bc of this
Alcina has walked in on more than one of her outbursts. She takes her daughters arms so she stops punching the walls, and pulls her into her chest. Cassandras breathing is erratic and she’s shaking violently with rage.
“Shhh my love, breathe.” Cassandra exhales in a way that Alcina can’t tell if she’s crying or seething. “What’s happened?”
Cassandras breathing speeds up through gritted teeth and she pulls against her mother, as if trying to get back to the wall. “I d-didn’t know what else to do.” her voice is hard like she was stating a fact.
Alcina strokes her pinky finger down her daughters nose, a trick that’s always worked for keeping her angriest at child at bay, and holds her there until she’s calmed down.
Afterwards, they don’t talk about it. Alcina knows Cassandra is already too embarrassed so she only wraps up her knuckles and says, “I think I heard Daniela call out for you a little bit ago, she had that tone of voice she gets whenever she’s in over her head.”
Cassandra just scoffs, “She’s just an idiot.” but moves immediately so go check on her younger sibling. She stops just before she’s out the door, “Mother I....” Alcina sees the hidden gratitude in her daughters eyes. “I know, dear. Go.” And her middle child nods and bursts into a cloud of bugs.
so.... there’s that.
I may be projecting but who knows.
ANYWAY
can throw a Wicked punch
very competitive and a sore loser
her competitiveness comes out the most when Bela is involved
Cassandra thinks Bela is their mothers favorite and that creates a lot of tension between the two of them bc Cassandra low key looks up to Bela (but will never tell her that) and wants to please mother just like she does. She feels the anger under her skin whenever their mother praises Bela instead of her
(Cassandra craves praise just as much as Bela but will NEVER show how the lack of it effects her)
Mean Lesbian™️
so, so touch starved
when anyone outside of her mother or sisters touch her softly she snaps bc a) she’s not used to it and b) she get filled with complicated and confusing emotions that she doesn’t know what to do with
quickest to yell at a maiden whenever they mess up
when she’s in a good mood she can actually be very playful and teasing (“rawr! >:D”)
hums to herself when she’s bored and sometimes (rarely) sings when Bela is playing the piano
the best at makeup out of the three daughters
Daniela always begs her to do her make up for her and Cassandra just pretends to be annoyed and does it anyway (she secretly loves it)
Bela also tentatively asked one time and Cassandra was shocked because Bela never asks for favors
they sit in silence while she applies Belas makeup but eventually asks “Why ask me to do this now? There had been plenty of other opportunities before.” her voice comes out more defensive than she wanted it too, but she leaves it be.
Bela studies her with calculating and knowing eyes before looking away and opening her mouth “You love doing this. I can tell.” Cass stops moving her hand. “I see the proud look on your face when Dani runs to show Mother your work. I just...” Bela shrugs, “want to be a part of that too. For you.” She glances back to her dark haired sister and shifts in her seat.
Cassandra didn’t know how to react, let alone respond. The lump in her throat was wide and pushed against her windpipe. Her and Bela had never really gotten along, but hearing this from her older sister felt like a small weight was lifted from her shoulders. It felt like acceptance. She cleared her throat and gently grabbed her sisters chin to pull it back into place. “Well maybe if you stopped squirming, i’d be able to get it done faster.”
Bela shoots her a very small, understanding smile, it was more of a smirk really, but it got the point across. I love you. No matter what. and Cassandra felt like she could finally breathe.
(I love sibling dynamics leave me alone)
claims she’s a top, is actually a switch
impatient as hell
Smooth Talker
her ability to talk her and her sisters out of sketchy situations has saved their asses more than once
“Hey Cassandra, would you punch Uncle Heisenberg in the face for $100?”
“I’d roundhouse kick him in the face for free.”
cue Alcina spitting up her wine.
probably swears the most too lol
*stubs toe* “Son of a mother fucking bitch that shit HURT.” Alcina: *raises eyebrow* “Well I certainly didn’t teach her that vile language.... Heisenberg.” Heisenberg: ......
knows how to wield a butterfly knife like a complete badass
Alcina: “CASSSANDRRAAA”
Cassandra: *instant fear*
uhhhh that’s it. did I go overboard? probaby. do I care? absolutely not and i’ll most likely be doing this again very soon lmaooo.
also p.s. send me more headcannon requests for Cassandra and i’ll answer them!

The Dimitrescu Ladies and Donna Beneviento with their S/O who is a shapeshifter.
A/N:
The reader can shapeshift into any animal but always chooses cats.
Alcina Dimitrescu / Lady Dimitrescu
You first wandered into the castle as a black cat. Alcina entranced you with her beauty during that one time she visited the village. So you decided to follow her to her home.
You kept observing her behaviors and would just sit around her window every day. After weeks of doing that, you got curious of her castle so you decided to explore.
The first person to see you was Daniela. She squealed as she picked you up and carried you to see her sisters. You didn't try to fight her because you were just chill like that.
The three sisters kept gushing about you for days and you would always shapeshift into your human form in the night.
One day, Alcina walks in on Bela reading to you, and she just smiles as Bela seems so satisfied with you around.
Then she sees Cassandra painting you. And you were just so still? Which can't be normal for a cat. Alcina decided to watch and both you and Cassandra were flushed as she painted you.
Then she catches Daniela just burying her face into your fur so she decides to finally adopt you? Which you sweated at. You're a human. And yes, you've been neglecting stuff from your home since you decided to hang around Castle Dimitrescu but shit. You can't just move and permanently be a cat.
You decided to run away at the last minute before Alcina could even put a collar on you to officially adopt you.
Ever since then, you stopped visiting the Castle. Needless to say, both Alcina and the girls were severely disappointed and whiny about you being gone.
A week after that, you were invited by your cousin who works in the Castle to see if you could work there.
You tried to turn it down but decided not to. Your money is slowly running out after all.
You try to listen to your cousin as she gives you the tour but you can't help it. Everything looks different now that you're actually inside as a human.
You stop at a particular portrait, one that you were fond of even as a cat.
Your cousin tilts her head at your behavior, not only were you not listening but you even point out some things that only servants and the people living inside would know?
You sigh in reply and just followed her.
Two weeks into working at Castle Dimitrescu and you're irritated. You can't shapeshift into anything and it pisses you off.
You decided to turn into a bat so you could sleep outside.
That night, Daniela wanted to sleep with you because despite being new you were oddly already comfortable with them and somehow already knew their preferred stuff.
It was little things that they only knew but you have complied to. Like how Bela wants the books in the library arranged. How Cassandra wants her sickle to be prepared before she would go on a hunt. How Daniela preferred her bed to be made and so on.
Daniela panicked and got her sisters to help find you. They even got your cousin roped in.
Come morning and you change into a human. You go outside your room and tilt your head as everyone is just trying to find something?
You tap your cousin's shoulder and ask what to look for when she shouts then hugs you. Everyone looks over and sighs in relief as they spot you.
"What? What happened?" You ask your cousin when you get tackled by Daniela to the ground.
"You were gone in the middle of the night! Where did you go?" You look at your cousin who nods. Oh.
"I was only outside my room, Miss Daniela." Bela raises an eyebrow at you.
"You weren't. Trust me, we checked everywhere." You sigh and get Daniela off your body. You stand.
"I was. Only I was a bat." They all murmur at your statement and you roll your eyes. Your cousin is smirking because she knew that you could shapeshift and hated that you wanted to hide your ability. You walk slowly then turn into the black cat that the Dimitrescu women had loved and disappeared.
"Blackie!?" "Kitten!?" "Sunny!?" Apparently the three girls had named you already in their head. You nod as a cat and their jaw drops. You change back into your human form.
"I'm sorry I left before but I just couldn't be a cat forever even if I wanted to. Same way I don't want to always be human." You explain. Bela was the first to hug you. Then Cass and Dani followed suit. Even Alcina was looking at you fondly.
The next month is pure chaos. The three girls in one way or another are always with you. It made your work a lot harder, specially since they like to always be touching you in some way.
Sometimes, Daniela and Cassandra would deliberately make a mess just so you would clean it up. Bela is the most helpful one because when she's with you, she's just quiet and like to observe you.
One day, Alcina invites you to dinner with just her. Alcina then realized why her daughters were so comfortable with you.
Occasionally becomes weekly then weekly becomes daily. Before you knew it, Alcina had asked you out on a date.
She wanted to promote or at least not give you any more work but you don't let her.
Your cousin now teases you as you become a blushing mess in front of the Lady Dimitrescu.
When they got a wind of the date, the three girls helped you get ready and even gave you advices to woo their mother.
Your date with Alcina went well and that night you slept with her.
Donna Beneviento
You were hired as a maid alongside your cousin in the Beneviento house. There were only the two of you and your cousin was assigned to be the cook.
So you were assigned to be the cleaner. Cleaning the house was fun, you must admit. Some of the dolls even started to talk to you.
But then you were put in a tough spot. There was a part of the house you can't quite reach. Not even if you put a chair below you. You sigh in defeat so you transform into a cat and carry the duster in your mouth. You were halfway through cleaning when Donna gets inside the room. Angie gets shocked and shouts at you. You, in surprise, drops the duster. So you sigh and jump down.
You transform into a human as you land and Angie's jaw drops. "Is something wrong, Lady Beneviento?" You ask as you get the duster. "Do you need anything?"
"You can transform to a cat!?" Angie gets up in your face and you nod.
"Yes. And any animal if I so desire. But Cats are my favorite so they tend to be the one I always transform to."
"How!?" You rub your neck in embarassement.
"I don't really know myself. It's something that I was born with, I guess?"
Ever since then, Donna would show up randomly while you're cleaning that room, hoping that you'd transform. You understood, specially since she's sometimes just peeking through the door. So when she gets curious, even though you're not cleaning that spot, you transform into a cat. Her gasp and amazed gaze is enough for you to transform.
Your cousin even teases you about it since you generally try to hide being a shapeshifter.
On one of your day offs, you decided to just roam around the house as a cat. Your cousin even snickered and you hissed at her.
Donna spots you just staring at her portrait and she blushes. Why would you stare at that?
You notice her without Angie and just stride up to her. Waiting for her to pet you. She carefully pets your head and you began purring at her. She was surprised at first but petted you more. It's been so long since someone with such gentle hands has touched your fur, after all.
Ever since then, Donna would always pet you and you would always transform when she's near.
One day, in a particularly cold night. You decided to transform into a bear. Donna has decided to seek you out but Angie shouts when she spotted you, a bear. You transform back and look at them. "Is there something wrong?" You ask then yawn. You were just tired and sleepy.
"Can we sleep with you? It's really cold." You nod and open up your blanket. She slips besides you and you immediately hug her.
"Do you mind if I transform into a bear? It'll be warmer for the both of us." She turns to you and nods. You hum and transform again. You hold her tightly and she smiles at your warmth and the way you make her feel safe.
Ever since then, Donna sneaks in your bedroom when it's cold.
One day, she finally decides to confess to you and ask you out on a date. You accept and hug her.
And slowly but surely, as you and Donna become more like a couple, you would transform into other animals while she would be amazed every time.
Bela Dimitrescu
You were a maiden about to be hunted but you transformed as Bela was upon you. So instead of human you. A black cat was severely injured. She gasps in horror and quickly brings you to the castle.
She gets help from the grand chambermaid who quickly stitches your wounds and bandages you up. Bela is by your side when you wake up. You can't even stretch your body or move it that much since everything just hurts.
Bela wakes up and you pretend to fall asleep. She leaves and you sigh in relief. She comes back with food and water for you, you think. Since it was Tuna. You wake up and get to the plate of food. You grab a bite and Bela sighs in relief.
"I'm so sorry." She apologizes but you pay her no mind as you devour the food. Food can help your regenerative abilities after all. You can already feel your body patching itself up as you eat the last fish. You eye the water and Bela quickly puts it in front of you and removes the plate now devoid of food. You sigh in relief as you quench your thirst.
If you're honest, the healing only took a day to happen because Bela gave you so much food. But you wanted to stay at the Mystical Castle first before going back to a normal life in the village.
Bela is typically with you, going so far as she can for you. She doesn't even let Cassandra or Daniela near you since she's afraid they'll hurt you as well.
When you explored the library, Bela had this look on her eyes and you realize that she must be missing reading. So you get to a book just sitting on a sofa and open it.
"Do you want me to read to you?" Bela asks as she sits besides you. You meow in response and she smiles as she opens the book. Her voice was so calming and before you knew it, you'd fallen asleep.
After an hour of sleep though, you began transforming since you've been in your cat form for too long. And there you were, the maiden that Bela was supposed to be hunting. The maiden that was supposed to be bound, not a black cat.
"So it was you." She hums as she caresses your face. "I thought I made a mistake."
"Are you going to kill me now?" You ask as you sit. You sigh in defeat. "Thanks for the food, I guess. And for taking care of me for the past few days. Few people would do that for a stray cat that's injured."
"I injured you." You shrug.
"Some people would just leave or even finish the job." You sigh. "I've seen too many cruel people in the city before. It's one of the reasons why I moved out here in the village."
"You're from the city?" She asks curiously and scoots closer to you. You nod then begin telling her all sorts of things.
How things are done so differently here than there. How people burn themselves out. How cruelty can make you numb.
How you were originally just wanting to take a break but everything about the village was too enticing to pass. So you stayed here and the villagers welcomed you with open arms. But now you're savings are almost depleted and you don't know anything to do other than some basic life skills.
Bela convinces Alcina to hire you as a maid. You move in the Castle and your quarters is the closest one to Bela.
When you would clean around the castle, Bela is right behind you, either to assist you or just observe quietly.
Cassandra and Daniela have teased her about her obsession with you but she didn't care. She just wanted to gaze at you more.
One day, you were tasked with cleaning the roof and she was there even though it was cold. You got her inside for her own protection. So Bela borrowed Alcina's opera glasses to look at you. You actually transformed into different animals to reach most of the spots and just generally had fun.
She scheduled you to be put on the roof more. She joined you once it was the summer and she laughs as you keep transforming.
Your first kiss happened one night. You were just tired and kept nodding off as Bela read a book. She closes the book and lifts you up. She carries you to your own room. She tucks you in and was about to leave when she looks back. She whispers a good night and kisses you on the forehead.
"That's it?" You ask and Bela freezes as she opens her eyes. You sigh and pull her closer to give her a proper kiss.
Cassandra Dimitrescu
You were just another maid in the Castle. Another to be either tortured or played with by Cassandra. But somehow, the girl has always had a soft spot for you.
Maybe because you were actually complying to some of her requests. Some harder than others.
Maybe because you don't flinch when you hear her surprise you. Or the way you catch her before she could even surprise you.
Maybe because unlike most people, you actually show genuine interest in her paintings.
Maybe because you're the one who reads stories to her. The one who is patient enough to get through her sarcastic comments and snide remarks.
Maybe.
You were on your day off when Cassandra decided to follow you. What could her favorite possibly do on a day you were supposed to be relaxing?
She raised an eyebrow as you stop in front of a large tree. You then transform into a cat and her jaw drops as you climb the large tree. You stretch your whole body before plopping down and sleeping.
She looks up at you and she goes back to the castle to get some snacks to wait for you to wake up. You spent five hours just sleeping in your cat form before landing down. Cassandra hums as she sees you transform back into a human.
She takes notes of all the things you do. The trinkets you buy from the Duke. Food that you seem to savor.
Next day, you find a gift on your bedside drawer. It was freshly picked flowers since you always stop for a moment when you pass some. It even has a note.
So you could smell some flowers everyday.
It has no initials on it but you smiled as you recognized the handwriting.
Since then, Cassandra would give you some things here and there while you were more attentive to her. You were even smiling more than ever.
When she gives you a plate of Tuna that made you laugh. So she knew.
That day you completed your work much faster and was let go by the grand chambermaid much earlier than usual.
You decided to surprise Cassandra in your cat form by waiting for her to get inside her quarters. She squeals then just hugs you. You laugh as you both just have fun through the night.
She falls asleep while holding you and you fall asleep listening to her heartbeat.
Since then there was just an understanding with you and Cassandra.
More time were spent together. Things were given. Stories are exchanged.
The officiality didn't come for a long time but when she kisses you, that's when you knew. She'd fallen for you. Just like you'd fallen for her.
Daniela Dimitrescu
You were actually a showy shapeshifter. Everyone in the village knew you that you could turn into any animal but always chooses to be a cat.
She was passing the village with the other ladies of the Dimitrescu Castle when she sees you transform. She squeals and runs up to you. She carries you and presents you to Alcina.
"Mother can we keep-"
"Darling, no-"
"But she can transform into a human!" All of them look at you expectantly and you sigh as you free yourself then transform.
"Oh, it's you, Y/N." Alcina actually knew you as the Duke's assistant/business partner with your connections. You bow to her as a greeting.
"Lady Dimitrescu. Is this your lovely daughters?" She nods and you smile. "May I know their names?"
"This is Bela. Cassandra and Daniela." You smile at Daniela then take her hand. You kiss it then wink.
"A most fitting name to a dashing young lady." Alcina rolls her eyes at you because you can be such a flirt.
"Well, we best be going now, Y/N." You bow in acknowledgement.
"May I visit more often now, Lady Dimitrescu?" Alcina sighs. Because even though you're not quite annoying, you are persistent. A stubborn one, just like her.
"You may do as you please." You thank her for that and watch them as they leave.
For the next coming days, you visit Castle Dimitrescu more often. Just so you could see Daniela, chat with her or just observe her.
You could tell that she craves stories more than anything so you do your best to read more books so you could see her face light up as you tell her new stories.
You even began writing some new ones just so she would be happy.
One day, while you were waiting for Daniela. You fell asleep and transformed into a cat. You try not to visit her in this form so she would like you more as a human, not just with your abilities.
You wake up on top of Daniela, still in your cat form. You smile as you get back to sleep. Alcina sighs as she catches you two on that position but she decides to leave you both alone.
You wake up with Daniela humming and reading besides you. You were back to being human.
"Lady Daniela?" You yawn. "How long have I fallen asleep?"
"Six hours. You transformed into a cat." You hum.
"I tend to do that when I haven't transformed into something else for too long."
"Oh. Why?" You shrug at the question. Even you don't know the extent nor rules of your ability. "Don't you want to find out more?" You shake your head.
"I tend to not look at my ability as a research but rather a fun ability." You two talk about your abilities and actually have fun comparing them.
One day, your visits stopped. You were on a business trip, Alcina informed Daniela. Something about a new connection being built.
Daniela keeps glancing at the gates every time she hears it opening, hoping it was you.
It took you three excruciatingly long weeks to close a deal. Duke was so proud of you but you just glare at him.
He surrenders as you walk past him and transform into a panther. You quickly run to the Dimitrescu Castle. You find Daniela sleeping in the library and smile. You transform into a cat and get on top of her then sleep.
Daniela wakes up then hugs you. She prepares food for you then wait for you to wake up. Which wasn't long since you were actually hungry. You eat the plate of fish and purr at her. She laughs as she pets you while you eat.
Since then, you two would spend more time together, you would even sometimes help Daniela with hunting when you transform into a tiger.
She asks you out on a date in a very romantic way. With your food shaped like the letters. Date?
It made you laugh and you accepted it. You didn't actually think she would make the first move but she did.
One day, you just plopped down your suitcase full of clothes in front of Alcina.
"Let me move in and I'll be helping with the wine business and Duke." She immediately accepted because that's two things that can be a source of a headache for her.
You decided to move in Daniela's room with no announcement, she just found all of your clothes in her room and you sleeping on her bed with just a note on her drawer.
-I moved in. Hope you don't mind.-
And she didn't mind. Not at all.
A/N:
I just really love cats.
This one took longer than usual?
Still writing on my phone because my sibling is hogging the laptop. Damn it.
Anyway.
Thoughts and Comments are always welcome!
Thank you for reading!

Your Friend, My Friend, Our Friend
ao3 link! listen, I started this at 6am, but I fell asleep before finishing it. I'm not proud of it, it's kind of messy, but please enjoy and tell me what you think. as always sorry for any grammatical errors!
Request: Can you do a platonic reader x the Dimitrescu daughters? Where reader is busy talking to the other maids and the three of them are jealous they might steal away their friend? - I hope I delivered on this request, and apologies if I didn't, I did my best!
***
“This has to be the best thing I’ve tasted, Ellie.” You replied as you ate a piece of pie. The way the flavours of it melted in your mouth made your eyes close as you let out a small moan.
Ellie was blushing at your compliment. “Oh, really? Do you think the Lady and her daughters will like the one I’ve prepared for them?” She asked.
You nodded your head. “Definitely. And if they don’t then more pie for me.” You pushed the plate into the direction of another maid. “You have to taste it, Rebecca. I don’t think my opinion alone will convince her of what I said.” You playfully nudged Ellie.
The three of you continued to converse until one of Lady Dimitrescu’s daughters walked in. “Y/N? What are you doing in here with… them?” Daniela asked as she eyed the maids. “I thought you’d be in the library or Mother’s study.”
“I just came down here to see what Ellie and Rebecca were preparing for dinner.” You replied. “I’m a mere distraction to them, but I like being in the kitchen, Dani.” Your stomach growled at that comment causing the two maids to laugh.
Rebecca patted your belly. “We should get some food in there since you like being in the kitchen so much.” She rolled her eyes at bit with her comment.
Daniela huffed. “You said we’d work out in the garden today.” A small scowl had appeared on her face.
You smiled at her. “And we will, but not right now. I’ll come and find you later, okay? Promise.” You ran your hand down her, but Daniela just brushed you off before storming out causing you to frown.
“Is she okay?” Ellie asked. You sighed and shrugged your shoulders. “If it’s any consolation, we love it when you come down to the kitchen. It’s nice to be around someone who knows the Lady and her daughters, someone who’s not constantly paranoid about being taken to the cellar and being turned into wine.”
You nodded your head. “I understand. I do appreciate that.” You pinched the bridge of your nose. “I’m just, I’m worried about Daniela. I should go talk to her.” You said.
“You definitely should but eat first. I made you a sandwich and I won’t let my hard work go to waste, Y/N.” Rebecca said, setting the sandwich down in front of you.
You smiled at her. You let Ellie and Rebecca continue their dinner preparation as you ate. “I will see the both of you later tonight for game night, yeah?” The two nodded at you before you all shared your goodbyes and you set off.
“Bela, you should’ve seen how close they were getting with them. Talking and laughing. One of them even patted their stomach when it did that weird growling thing.” You overheard Daniela say to her sister.
“Y/N has been hanging around with the maids a lot as of late.” Cassandra said. “You don’t think we did something wrong, do you?”
Bela was quick to shake her head. “No, no, they’re just making new friends.” Bela said, try to give them some reassurance.
“Yeah, to replace us.” Daniela said. “They never hang out with us anymore. Any time we see them they’re either with those two maids in the kitchen or with Mother.”
Your heart broke a bit hearing their conversation. Bela was right, you were just trying to make friends, but you weren’t trying to replace them as Daniela had suggested. You would’ve interrupted their conversation, but you could hear Alcina’s heels coming from down the hall. You moved away from the room where her daughters were and went to go catch up to her.
“Ali, wait up!” You called out to her making her stop and turn around to you. “Hi.” You let out as you panted slightly.
Alcina smiled at you. “Hello, little one. What are you doing wandering the halls at this time? I thought you’d be enjoying a nice nap, yes?” Alcina asked.
You flushed. “How do you know about my afternoon naps?” You asked as the two of you walked. Your question made Alcina chuckle. “Ali, how do you know?” You whined at her a bit.
“Cassandra informed me, if you must truly know.” Alcina replied. “It was in passing. Something about a maid reading to you while you dosed off, mentioned that it happens almost every day.”
“Oh.” You scratched the back of your head. “She didn’t mention how she found us, did she?” You asked.
Alcina hummed. “It’s quite alright if you cuddle with your friends, dear.” Alcina said. You let out a small breath at her approval. “Don’t worry, draga mea, I don’t get jealous easy. Besides, I’m glad that you’re making friends with the staff.”
“I… thank you, Ali.” You said when she patted your head affectionately. “Speaking of jealous, I don’t think your daughters are too keen on me being friends with Ellie and Rebecca.”
Alcina raised her eyebrow as she pushed open the door to her study. “Oh? Do share why, darling.” She said as she sat down in her chair.
You waited for her to pick you up and set you down on the desk. “I overheard them talking before I found you.” You explained a bit. “They think I’m trying to replace them or at least Daniela does.”
“She does?” Your Lady asked. You nodded your head. “Well, then I suppose you’ll have to find a way to fix that.” She shuffled some papers around on her desk before putting her pen to use.
You pouted, mostly at not having her undivided attention. “But how do I do that?” You asked, a small whine escaping past your lips.
“Invite them to your little game night.” You let out a small gasp at her words. “Darling, you should know by now that nothing goes unheard of by me in this castle.” You could tell she found your reaction amusing and you pouted more.
You mulled her idea over while she worked, watching as her pen moved across her paper. “Would they like game night?” You asked. “They won’t tr-“
“I’ll talk to them, they’ll be on their best behaviours around your friends. And if they aren’t, do let me know, darling.” Alcina flashed you a small smile before going back to their work. You watched her work in silence again before you tapped her shoulder. “Yes, little one?”
You flushed at the nickname, ducking your head from her gaze. “Um, would you… like to join?” You asked.
Alcina placed her hand near your thigh as she leaned forward. “The offer is appreciated, Y/N, but I am very, very busy right now. I’ve really no time for such trivial distraction, but you enjoy yourself and tell me all about it when you return to me.” Alcina replied before she backed away and continued to write.
Your breathing had quickened a bit at how close she’d just been to you. “Next time then?” You tried as a reply.
“Of course, next time.” Alcina replied absentmindedly. “As much as I appreciate your company, I need you to leave. I have a phone call with Mother Miranda to make and I don’t believe it will be a pleasant one, my dear.”
You nodded your head and Alcina helped you off her desk. “I’ll see you later, Ali.” You said before exiting the room, shutting the door behind you.
Your game night with Ellie and Rebecca was a few hours away so you took that time to plan an extra special one for the Lady’s daughters to enjoy. When you’d gone over the details with Ellie and Rebecca, they agreed to make some snacks that the three might like. You went to find Daniela shortly after.
“Hey Dani, ready to go garden?” You asked as you found her in the library.
Daniela looked up from her book before glancing out the window. “It’s too dark out now and it’s probably raining.” She replied before focusing on her book again.
“Oh. Well did your Mother talk to you?” You asked.
“About game night?” You nodded your head. “Yeah. Not interested, but thanks for the offer.”
You let out a small sigh. “It was actually your Mother’s idea, she thought it might help bond more, grow my friendship with the three of you. But I’d really like it if you came, Dani.” You left the library before she had the chance to reply.
You walked around aimlessly, thinking about going back to Alcina’s study, but apparently she was still on the phone. Cassandra and Bela were avoiding you like the plague, dispersing into swarms whenever the three of you got near each other. After a while, it was dinner time. It was a quiet dinner, no doubt due to the tension between you and the Lady’s daughters.
Alcina cleared her throat. “Girls, you will be attending Y/N’s game night. You may not want to go, but it’ll do you some good to learn how to interact with our staff, get to know them better. They can’t all be used for your little cat and mouse games.”
Daniela whined. “But Mot-“
“I won’t hear your excuses, Daniela, darling. Y/N has planned a wonderful night just for the three of you and their friends and it would be rude of you not to go.” Alcina replied, taking a sip of her wine.
Daniela frowned and crossed her arms. “They’re just going to flaunt their new friends in our faces. Making sure we get a good look at who our replacements are. They never spend time with us so why would we go and spend time with them?” Daniela asked.
“Dani, I’m no-“ Cassandra cut you off.
“Don’t push her, Y/N. You may have had good intentions with this offer, but it seems like you’re only doing it to get back in our good graces. But I’m afraid it’s not working.” Cassandra said.
You looked over at Alcina who was busy nursing her wine, trying to keep herself calm. You nodded your head at Cassandra. “I’m sorry. I’d like to be excused if I may.” You said before standing from the table and rushing out of the room.
Alcina snapped her fingers. “You two are insufferable.” She practically growled out. “The fact that you think Y/N would ever want to replace you is ridiculous. Just because they have made more friends does not mean that they’re giving you the boot.” Alcina explained.
Bela spoke up this time. “I tried to tell that, Mother. They wouldn’t listen to me.” Bela said. “But you have to admit, that the timing of such an offer is suspicious.”
“The suggestion was mine, dear Bela.” Alcina snapped. “Now, it would do you all some good to find Y/N and apologise or so help me, Mother Miranda, you will regret not doing so.” Alcina threatened before she got up from the table.
The three rose from the table in a chorus of “Yes, Mother” before setting off to find you. They weren’t surprised to find you in a room with Ellie and Rebecca, but it did cause another frown to grace Daniela’s face.
You sniffled when you looked up at them when Bela cleared her throat. “What do you want?” You asked.
“You really shouldn’t be here right now.” Ellie said.
“Ellie’s right, you’ve put Y/N through enough for today.” Rebecca added.
You shook our head. “No, it’s… it’s fine. Say what you have to say.” You said.
Cassandra spoke first. “Mother told us that we should apologise.”
“Yes, she did. So we’re here to apologies for our behaviour. Right, Daniela?” Bela nudged her sister.
Daniela hissed at her before turning her attention to you. “Mother did send us off to apologise to you.” Daniela said. “So I’m sorry for saying that you were trying to replace us. I hope you can forgive me, Y/N.”
You stood up, walked over to Daniela and hugged her, to her surprise. “Of course I forgive you.” You whispered into her ear. Your reply made Daniela wrap her arms around you and return the hug. “I should apologise too.” You said as the hug ended. “I made you all feel like I was choosing Ellie and Rebecca over you three and I’m sorry. I never intended for you to feel like I was trying to replace any of you.”
Bela smiled at you. “You’re forgiven, Y/N. In all honesty, I’m glad you’re making more friends.”
Cassandra nodded in agreement. “Now that that’s settled, Mother mentioned game night and I’m told there are snacks.”
You laughed at her. “Yes, we have snacks and games. Please join us before I send Ellie and Rebecca off to bed.” You replied.
“Hey! On game nights, there’s no curfew.” Ellie said, pushing your shoulder slightly when you sat next to her.
The six of you played a multitude of games. And you found out that Daniela doesn’t like it when someone beats her in something, especially her sisters and she claims that they cheat to beat her. You all finally called it a night when Rebecca let out a small yawn.
“As much as this been, I think it’s time for us to call it a night.” Rebecca said. “Thank you for joining us tonight, it was fun playing with the three of you.” She tossed a smile toward the Lady’s daughters.
The three girls escorted you to their Mother’s room after you all said goodbye to Ellie and Rebecca.
“Thank you for having us tonight, Y/N.” Daniela said. “Your friends seem really nice and as Rebecca said, it was fun playing with you all tonight.”
“Group hug?” The four of you hugged each other, giggling when Daniela caused you all to fall on the floor.
“And what, pray tell, is going on here?” Alcina asked, a small smile on her face.
“Group hug.” The four of you said in unison. You and Alcina bid the girls good night before she guided you into the room.
“So how was game night, dear?” Alcina asked as the two of you settled into bed.
You snuggled into her side before letting out a sigh. “It was very fun, thank you for suggesting it, Ali.”
Alcina hummed “You’re welcome, draga mea. Now rest, you’ve had such a long day.” Alcina said before pressing a kiss to your forehead and drifting off to sleep next to you.

I mean I already have an idea for it so perhaps a part 2 to that story where 👦🏻 Reader is finally fully healed and goes out hunting with his sister R still has a cane but it works as a weapon as well just the sister finally seeing him as an equal perhaps a little bonus with alcina reacting to Reader turning into a dragon as well but like a smaller version and more like a dragon born from d&d (if you don't know what they look like look up d&d Dragon born)
Broken Truth: A Part 2, you say?! Let the words weave together and have their own way!
The Son of Castle Dimitrescu [PART 2]
"Good morning, [Y/N]!" The youngest of the Dimitrescu Daughter's called out as she watched her brother walk into the room - wearing a dark blue shirt with black pants and dress shoes - his cane still in his hand but his leg had made a full recovery; he just liked the cane a lot.
"Good Morning, Sisters. Good Morning, Mother." [Y/N] greeted his family as he took his seat between Bela and Dani - he asked Alcina to give Bela her original seat back, it made her happy.
"How did you sleep, [Y/N]?" Bela asked with a raised eyebrow as she lifted her cup to her lips to drink - she wasn't ready to call him brother...not just yet. First, she wanted to make sure he was worthy of that title.
"I slept well. So, what plans do you have for the day, sisters?" He asked.
"We're planning on going hunting sometime around sunset; the beasts love coming out when they think it's safe for them to eat." Cassandra said.
"Hunting? Sound fun. May I join you?" He asked - making everyone look at him with raised eyebrows.
"You want to join us on hunting? [Y/N], you may be a Dimitrescu but you're not like the rest of us, hunting with us might a little too...dangerous for you." Bela said.
"Bela, it's because I'm a Dimitrescu, hunting with you 3 will be just what I need. Besides, you need to remember - I'm exactly like you but that doesn't mean I'm the same weak human that I was when I was gone from this castle." He raised his cane, the silver dragon pointing at Bela. "I am strong, Sister; all I ask for is a chance to prove my worth to this family name."
Bela chuckled at this.
"Very well, [Y/N]. You may join us on our hunting trip. Just bring a weapon with you." Bela said as she continued to eat her breakfast.
"Oh, don't worry about that; I always have a weapon on my person." the son of Castle Dimitrescu smirked before he placed his cane beside his chair and devoured his own breakfast.
[Timeskip - Nightfall]
"Forgive me for making you wait, sisters." [Y/N] said as he walked down the castle stairs - twirling his cane between the fingers of his right hand.
"[Y/N], we told you to bring a weapon." Bela exhaled.
"Oh, but I did." With confusion on their faces - the sisters watched as their brother grabbed the head of the silver dragon and bend it back to where it was aligned with the rest of the cane; there was a click cane separated from the middle, revealing the upper half of the cane was actually a concealed blade, the silver shined in the moonlight.
"A Concealed Blade in your cane? When did you do that?!" Dani asked as her eyes widened at the blade.
"A Dimitrescu is always prepared, Little Sister. I've been working on this little project since my leg was out of commission. I can make you all custom weapons too if you wish it." He gave his best big brother smile. Before Dani start listing what she wanted in her weapon, she was dragged off by Bela.
"You can bother him about weapons later. It's time to hunt now." Bela said as she dragged away her pouting sister.
[Moments Later]
The Sisters had hunted a few massive elk alongside their brother - impressed by his way of the blade. They really loved how he would cripple them first before staring into their eyes and slicing their throat and watching them bleed out. They were about to leave when a loud roar erupted from the skies above them - they all looked up to see the massive and feral body of the Varcolac falling from the treelines and into the center of the grass field, snarling at them in hunger.
"It must have smelled the blood of our kills." Cassandra said as she rose her sickle to defend herself and her sisters but when [Y/N] sheathed his sword back into his cane and stepped to stand before the best - shielding his sisters - the 3 daughters looked confused.
"[Y/N], what are you doing?! That thing will rip you apart." Bela said with worry in her voice.
"Don't worry for me, Sister. There is...something else I've been hiding from you and mother but this is the perfect time to tell you." He placed his overlapping hand up the top of his cane and placed it to the ground as a circle of fire began running around the ground, around his feet.
"As for you..." He looked into the blue eyes of Varcolac - his golden eyes turning red, "Arde în flăcările Casei Dimitrescu (Burn in the flames of Castle Dimitrescu)."
The fire suddenly spiraled upward and consumed him before a large clawed hand ripped the fabric of flames away and revealed the massive body of...a Dragon?! It walked on two legs, had the form of a human but it was covered in dark blue scales with a long tail but the dragon-like head and horns that rested atop of it represented that of a dragon.
Their Brother was a True Dragon of House Dimitrescu - Just like their mother.
The Varcolac and [Y/N] roared at each other before charging at each other with a vengeance - the son of Dimitrescu tackling the Lycan Creature with such force that they crashed into a tree and it snapped in half. The sisters watched as their brother lifted the creature above his head and threw it around like a ragdoll. He would grab it by its limb and smash it into the ground, boulders, or trees. Once the creature would no longer stand, [Y/N] lifted it over his head once again but instead of throwing it - he grabbed it by its neck and left hind leg before ripping it in half; blood slattered all over the Dimitrescu Son as he let out a loud roar into the night.
The dragon dropped the remains and turned to look at his sisters - who were just looking at him; he was worried that his sisters would be afraid of him and was going to turn back but...
'THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!" Dani said as she charged at her brother and hugged his massive waist.
"Huh?" The dragon's deep voice asked.
"WHAT?! HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO TRANSFORM INTO A HUMANOID DRAGON?! IS IT MAGIC?! CAN YOU TEACH US?!" Cassandra asked with stars in her eyes.
"Well, it's not really something that can be taught..." [Y/N] said as he scratched his cheek with the tip of his finger.
"Still, you hid something like this from us?! Your sisters?! What kind of big brother are you when you're supposed to tell us something like this?!" Bela said as she marched over to him with a scowl on her face.
"I...I wasn't sure how..." He was silenced by his sister pointing at him.
"Be quiet! As punishment for hiding this transformation from us - you're going to carry all of the prey back to the castle all!" Bela said as she walked off.
"Wha?! Don't I have any say in this?!" The Dragon asked.
"No, now get moving, Brother!" Bela said as she and her sisters walked off. The Dragon chuckled before lifting the 4 dead elks on his back and followed them.
'They called me brother... They accept me." The dragon smiled as he walked on.
When they reached the castle - Alcina was all in her son's face, examining the Dragon Form with interest and sight hurt that her son would hide this from her and his sisters. When it was revealed that he had wings and would fly, Alcina, The sisters, and [Y/N] would go flying over the mountings when the weather was nice.
Spending time as a family...and scaring the hell out of villagers whenever they got the chance.
[End]

A Spark In The Snow
Was gonna go for straight comedy but this wrote itself into fluff. Also it was gonna be a one shot but I decided to leave it open to possibly becoming a multi-parter if I have the time. But I tried to leave in the Azula/Daniela chaotic duo aspect I mentioned. 
Summary: Azula is a fire in Alcina’s otherwise cold and desolate world. She brings a certain spark to the castle that is as vexing as it is endearing. Anyways, her daughters are fond of the girl so how bad can it be?
A simmering summer, Alcina decides, is more chaotic than a merciless winter. Fire is wild, uncontrollable, unpredictable. It leaps from one thing to the next, searing away all that which it touches. Winter leaves a frosty kiss but it can be dispelled and warded off. Winter is predictable, summer is strange, feral.
Winters is predictable. Azula is anything but. Winters has a knack for smashing windows--breaking anything with a glass surface, really. Azula sets fire to everything that will burn. Winters does it out of spite and malice. Alcina is convinced that Azula does it for the thrill or attention. She knows that attention is Daniela does it for chaos and companionship.
Alcina pinches the bridge of her nose as another thunderous boom resounds down the expansive hallway. She takes a hard and generous swallow of wine, this particular boom had sounded rather expensive. The shatter of porcelain, perhaps her favorite bathtub.
“What are you guys doing!?” Bela screeches. It is a noble thing that the girl is trying to do. Noble but pointless. Alcina has come to find that Azula and Daniela have become quite an unstoppable duo. A duo with such ferocity that even Winters has stopped coming by.
She isn’t sure where the girl had come from nor what sort of mutation has granted her the ability to wield fire in her hands but she is here and Alcina can’t help but feel a fondness for her. She is a small thing, absolutely teeny--even by comparison to someone who isn’t as tall as she. And mostly she is a charming and poised girl. Elegant and well-mannered. Even tempered, a break from the chaos. A refreshing break.
But with Daniela there comes to the surface something wilder. The girl’s laugh is far less than refined when Daniela points to a large crate and yells, “oh, what about that! Set that on fire!” There comes another loud bang and Alcina flinches. She is almost certain that, that had been a crate of clothing that she has been meaning to look through. She grits her teeth and grips the armrests of her chair. She loves her daughters, loves them more than anything else. But if she hears one more explosion…
.oOo.
Azula chuckles to herself as the flames lap at the wood. Her own mother would never let her get away with such a feat. She scrambles her way up a chair. Castle Dimitrescu is somewhat intimidating in its impressive size. There isn’t a single thing that she doesn’t have to ask one of the Dimitrescu sisters to help her reach.
When they aren’t around she has to quite literally scale counters and furniture. And the bed...she had thought her bed at the palace was large. The one she sleeps in now has room for several of her as well as a mongoose-lizard or two.
And it is no wonder, she hears the thunder of Lady Dimitrescu’s footsteps.
“OhHHh fUcK!” Daniela shouts. Before Azula’s reflexes have a chance to kick in, she snatches her off of the chair she had worked so hard to ascend. “She’ll never catch us.”
“And what if she does?” Azula asks.
“Then we’ll just burst into a cloud of flies and...oh wait you can’t do that.” She slows her pace to tap her chin. “Then we’ll just have to...set MORE things on fire!” She throws her hands up. Azula gives a yelp of surprise as her body is tossed into the air.
She catches herself on a chandelier and pulls herself onto its fixture. It bobs precariously though she can’t imagine that she weighs anywhere near enough to bring it down.  
“Whoops.” Daniela winces from below.
Having successfully launched her partner in crime to oblivion, she is left to fend for herself.
“Where is your sister?”
“Which one, mother?”
“The fiery one.”
“Cassandra’s is in her room.”
Alcina inhales deeply.  “Azula. Where is Azula.”
“Oh, right, yes. Well you see, she’s really small and so I may or may not have thrown her clear across the castle.” Perhaps her lie would have had more success if she hadn’t offered the chandelier a wink. Alcina reaches up in an attempt to pluck her down. Azula ducks under the woman’s hand but one misplacement of her hand has her tumbling to the ground.
With a most devious grin, Daniela lets out a screech and catapults herself into the air. She practically bodyslams Azula as she catches her and takes off into a full sprint.  “Daniela, you get back here!” She hears Alcina groan. “Bela, catch your sister!”
Daniela takes Azula’s arm and positions it out in front of her. “Make fire!”
“Do you think that your mother will finally replace this hideous wallpaper if I just…” she holds the smallest candle wick of a flame to the wall and lets Daniela’s sprint do the rest.
“Our mother won’t have a choice. Oh! Maybe if we set all of...everything on fire we can finally redecorate the house. I was thinking of something more daring like…” she trails off. “Like we can take a whole bunch of man bones and string them up on the balcony like wind chimes. Oh and I saw this neat thing at Karl’s factory. I heard minimalist is in...which is exactly why we need to clutter this place up. I was thinking sofas in the middle of the hallway and lamps hanging form the chandeliers.
“Daniela, that sounds awful.  Let’s do it!” Though she is nearly certain that it will end up driving her just as mad as it will drive Lady Dimitrescu.
Daniela comes to an abrupt halt and bursts into a cloud of flies as she collides with Bela who erupts into her own separate cloud. Azula lands with an oof. The fire, a testament to her success and thrill, crackles behind her. Bela reassembles with her hands on either side of her head, “what have you guys done!?”
“We don’t like the decore and wallpaper so we’re remodeling!” Azula declares more boldly than someone who has landed flat on the floor ought to.
Daniela lifts her off of the floor and turns her around to face the fire. “It’s…” she wipes a tear from her eye “...glorious.”
“You guys are the worst.” Cassandra grumbles. “I think that my favorite seat cushion was down this hallway.”
Daniela rolls her eyes. “Who actually bothers to pick out a favorite seat cushion anyways?”
“I do, Dani!”
Azula shrugs. “If it was in this particular hallway that it was an abomination to upholstery.”
“It’s not about the aesthetic! It’s about the feeling it gives your buttcheeks when they sink into it’s plush fabric.” Cassandra explains. “Haven’t you ever sat your ass down on something so fluffy it transported you to a new dimension?”
Azula shakes her head.
“Then how’d you get here?” Daniela asks.
Bela rolls her eyes, “because obviously comfortable seating is how you move from one universe to another.”
“The right level of booty comfort can go a long way.” Daniela insists.
“I hate to say it, but I think Daniela is right, Bela.”
With a fire blazing wildly behind her, Azula sits back and watches the siblings bicker. Such is the pattern that she has fallen into. It is thrilling, fun, and exhilarating.  This world, wherever it is, is bizarre and uncanny. Messy and wild, and there is a sense of freedom in the chaos. In becoming part of the chaos. Something liberating that she can’t find in the Fire Nation. Something that compels her to shake away what remains of her overwhelming need for perfection.
.oOo.
Alcina finds that the fire child is much easier to manage when she is sitting upon her shoulder chattering away about the politics of her own realm and how she rather enjoys having three sisters instead of one aggravating brother.
And upon her shoulder, away from Cassandra and Daniela, Azula retains her more soothing, soft spoken demeanor. The one she takes up when looking over books with Bela. This is the topic of discussion today, “I’ve never read anything like this. The history of your world is quite intriguing.”
“I am glad to hear that you are getting comfortable here.” Alcina takes a seat, picks up her kiseru, and has a drag. The smoke trails up and Azula fans it away.
“It would be wonderful if you could get some smaller chairs, climbing these is just about as tiresome as some of my firebending katas are.” She absently kicks her legs at the air, offering Alcina’s chest something of a massage.  
“I suppose that I can do that for you.”
“Perfect.” Azula claps her hands together.
For some time they sit in silence and then the girl speaks. “I’m glad that I found you. I don’t...I don’t feel like a monster here.”
Alcina furrows her brows. She has been around many a monster. By all means, she thinks it fair to call herself one. But the girl, this small, delicate thing… “why would you think that?”
“Everyone else does. My own mother…”
Alcina’s heart pangs again. Suddenly she doesn’t feel quite so much like a monster, “a mother who can’t love her child is no mother.” And for a moment she isn’t sure if she is speaking of Azula’s mother or of Mother Miranda. “A mother who makes her child feel  insignificant is a monster.” She reaches up to stroke Azula’s hair.
“You don’t think that I’m a monster?”
This girl, this beautiful girl has been made to feel unloved and unlovable.
“Why would I think that, dear?”
She shrugs. “Daniel and I have set everything you love on fire.”
She pinches the bridge of her nose. “You haven’t set yourselves or each other on fire.”  She sighs. “I suppose that this castle was due for some renovations anyhow.” This seems to delight the girl.
“My mother had a fit when I set a single, withered rose on fire.”
“Things work differently here, as you are finding.” She rises to her feet. “It has been a while since I’ve had company on my strolls through the courtyard; my girls are unable to tolerate the cold. Would you join me?”
.oOo.
“Firebenders don’t much like the cold...mother.” It sounds strange to say on her tongue, but it feels perfectly correct. The woman’s face seems to fall. “But I’m sure you have something warm for me to wear while we’re out.”
“Of course, dear. I’ll fix you a cup of wine--if I remember correctly you prefer it without blood--and we’ll head out.”
“No blood, that’s correct.”
“Strange girl.” The woman chuckles.
She isn’t sure that she is the strange one here but she keeps it to herself while Alcina sets her back on her shoulder and makes her way into the dining room. Minutes later she finds that Alcina hasn’t any winter clothing that is even remotely her size. Instead, the woman bundles her up in a nest of blankets that very well may be Alcina’s own winter coat.
The outside world is cold on her cheeks. She finds herself pressing her hands against them as Alcina points out her favorite places in the courtyard, her favorite flowers and her favorite statues. Much like all else in this world, Azula has never seen anything quite like it. It is grand and elegant place as cold and grey on the outside as it is warm on the inside. It has many twisting, sharp spires and stone gargoyles to top them. In places it is broken, ancient. Gloomy and depressive in a haunting way that Mai would appreciate. “Your castle is beautiful, mother.”
“Thank you.” She smiles. “I am pleased to know that you don’t find it off putting.”
.oOo.
Azula burrows further into the blankets.
“Are you getting cold?”
“I’ve been cold.” She replies.
“I suppose that I’ve had my fill of nightair.” She cups her hand over the girl’s head, hoping to provide her with  even just a little more heat. “I ought to check up on Daniela.”
Azula nods and leans into her chest, pulling the blankets tighter around herself as she does so. “Thank you.” She mumbles. “For letting me stay here.”
Alcina ought to thank her for staying. She can’t remember the last time that she has had company, human company that she found pleasant. Human company that didn’t find her terrifying and monstrous. She just hopes that the girl will never have to see her in her second form. She shouldn’t like Azula to look upon her with fear and disgust. She thinks that it is an inevitability. Everyone leaves her eventually. Everyone save for her daughters. This girl, she reminds herself, is her daughter. She likes to think that she wouldn’t leave.
“It is no trouble at all. I do hope that you will stay with me for a long time, dear.”

So, how do the gf's get on with the other sisters? And eachother? Also do any of them get jealous of their girlfriends hanging out with their sisters? I can see Cass initially being jealous when Mel hangs out with Dani lol
Melony gets along with both sisters pretty well, but she definitely hangs around Dani more since they already had a friendship before she got with Cass. She likes Bela, and they do get along, but they have sort of a hard time finding things to actually talk about if there isn't a third party to engage them.
Cassandra used to get incredibly jealous of Mel spending time with Dani, mostly because... Dani was being really lovey with Mel before she got with Cass. She's since gotten less jealous.
Max gets along with Bela, but not so much with Cass. Her and Bela have a similar sense of humor, and Bela has actually offered some pretty solid advice just in terms of... general 'things to help you take your mind off life without getting shitfaced everyday' (not that she always listens to it but the thought is nice). Meanwhile Cass is kind of the reasons she's a maid and has threatened her life pre-relationship with Dani more than once.
Daniela is extra clingy if she notices Max spending a lot of time with one of her sisters. She knows the likely hood of Max leaving her for either of them is low, but she's lost a lover or two to another person before.
Elena gets along fine with bother sisters, but if she had to pick she probably prefers Daniela. She likes Cass but that woman just has such a short fuse sometimes and if Elena was honest Cass kind of scares her. Like Daniela does some concerning things but she's usually light hearted.
Bela doesn't really get jealous, persay, but sometimes it worries her when Elena hangs out with... anyone for a long time. She gets the idea that maybe Elena is starting to get bored of her. Which is ridiculous and something she's trying to work on.
Melony and Elena get along pretty well, Max and Melony have been pretty friendly with each other even before dating their respective bug daughter, Elena and Max are... less friendly, they won't really talk if they don't have a third party, but they get one well enough.

Edit: new link https://archiveofourown.org/works/32099263
ITS DONE!!!!  Finally, the RE8 meets RE7 fic is finished and posted!  so for everyone wondering and if you didn't figure it out already. The image I posted earlier is the seating arrangement of the gang as they play the game.  As always its posted on AO3 and under the cut.  I hope you enjoy @ibest14 I never actually played RE7 but I watched a walkthrough to write this.
It was a normal Saturday afternoon when the Winters family got a very strange package.  It was addressed to the whole family and had no return address.
“What the heck is this?” Rose wondered aloud carrying the small package inside, “Hey mom! Did you order something online?”
“Not that I remember, why?” Mia asked curious why her daughter was asking about the mail, “Who is it addressed to? Maybe your dad ordered something.” She went and stood next to Rose to look at the package.
“Hmm, I think we should wait for dad to get home to open it, I mean it is addressed to all of us.” Mia agreed with her daughter and went to continue making dinner.
Ethan got home a few hours later and was greeted by his daughter with a warm hug, “Haha, hey there kid how was your day?” He asked returning the hug and picking Rose up.
“It was good! We got a weird package in the mail, mom and I decided to wait for you before opening it.” Rose said leading him into the kitchen after he put her down.
“Welcome home, Hon! How was work?” Mia asked kissing Ethan on the cheek.
“Ugh, Williams was an absolute pain again.  He somehow unplugged all of his equipment and disconnected his computer from the ethernet cable again.” Ethan complained sitting down at the dinner table next to Rose. “Chris somehow changed his computer to Arabic and Sal’s computer was changed to have wingdings as the default language and it bricked the whole thing, he said it was an accident, but I think it was one of the dicks that keep harassing him.  I told Chris and he’s looking into it.” Ethan picked up the package and looked at the outside.
“Ugh why can’t these douchebags see that Sal is way better than them.  Probably just jealous of him.” Rose said frustrated at the harassment her uncle was receiving.
“We should invite him over for dinner sometime, lift his spirits some!” Mia suggested placing a glass of juice down for Ethan.  He agreed and thanked her for the juice.
Ethan handed the package back to Rose who tore into the packaging.  Inside was a video game box, “Resident Evil? Isn’t that a game from the nineties?” Rose asked confused.
Ethan leaned over to get a better look, “Yeah it is, I played almost all of them, but I’ve never seen that one.  It looks like its supposed to be the seventh one, but they only made six that I know of.” Ethan became confused taking the box from Rose studying it, it strangely didn’t have a back cover.
“Weird, maybe they are rebooting the series, but why wouldn’t there be a lot of news about it?” Rose asked.  Ethan’s face lit up at the possibility of a reboot of his favorite childhood series.
“Man, I hope so, I always loved Craig Bluemarsh and Leo C. Harrison.  They were the best!  The whole M.O.O.N.S squad from Badger City.  Special Ops turned paranormal investigators was the twist of the decade! And the whole thing with Egbert Walberk and how he possessed himself with countless demons to become basically a god.” Ethan sighs as he reminisces.
“You clearly have bad taste honey because Julie Easter was the best character in the series.  The ace of the M.O.O.N.S squad, the one that Walberk kidnapped to force demons into her with a mind control amulet.  Oh, and don’t forget Chloe Bluemarsh, college kid turned aid worker for those affected by the demons.” Mia added as she chopped vegetables for dinner.
“Ahh yes, how could I forget! Anyway, this looks like a cheap bootleg or fake.  Probably just a prank from Dani or Angie.”  Ethan said tossing the case further on the table looking upset.
“Aw man…. That’s lame dad.” Rose says dramatically throwing herself over the back of the chair.  “I’m keeping it anyway; the box looks cool.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A month after the whole package incident, Rose bursts into the house beaming.  “Dad, Uncle Chris just told me that we are having a meeting with the whole gang! We should totally bring that janky game we got and show it off!”
“Whoa, slow down Rose! You’re gonna hurt yourself running around like that.” Ethan says watching his daughter bounce in place.  “Why do you think we should bring that thing anyway? I doubt there will be anytime to just sit around and play a game, if it’s even real.”  Rose rolls her eyes at him.
“Dad, I’m sure Uncle Chris can pull some strings so we can have a little get together.  We never get to see each other all at once!” Rose states, putting on her best puppy dog eyes, “Don’t you want to see the gang, Dad. It would be so much fun.  You know how much I miss them all.” She begs.
Ethan can physically feel his resolve crumbling at his begging daughter, always caving into her once she pulls out the puppy eyes, “Fine, I’ll talk with Chris and we can bring the game with us, but you are responsible for the PlayStation and if it gets damaged or broken you have to buy the new one.” He says in his dad voice, trying to be stern.  Rose squeals and jumps into his arms hugging him.
“You’re the best dad ever!” She says running off to prepare for their long weekend at Blue Umbrella.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Ok, is everyone comfy, I’m about to start the game!” Rose said excitedly setting up the PS4 in the Blue Umbrella lounge room.  Everyone was present, Rose even convinced Miranda and Elena to join them after Milena was put to bed.
“I am unsure of what we are even doing sweet thing.” Alcina said settling into her chair near Donna.
“Well, I’m gonna play this weird game I got, maybe Dani can take over if I get tired.  We are just gonna check it out, if its good, Great! If not, we can make fun of how bad it is!” Rose explained sitting down on the couch wedged between Daniela, Angie, and Heisenberg with Bela and Cassandra on the floor in front of them.  Alcina wasn’t convinced that it would be fun, but she couldn’t deny Rose’s request considering how excited she looked.  She sighed and pulled out her reading glasses seeing the small text on the screen.
“Psh, what are you a grandma?” Heisenberg teased. Alcina growled at him.
“Oh, please grow up you child.” She replied trying to de-escalate the situation knowing Rose and her daughters hated when they argued.
“I see making your head bigger didn’t help your eyesight.” He continued to tease sensing her anger.
“I grew proportionally you ignoramus, becoming larger would not fix my farsightedness.” She growled out becoming angrier.
“Guys….” Rose said sadly at the two arguing.  Heisenberg immediately stopped his next sentence and turned to give Rose a side hug.
“Sorry kiddo, I forgot you hate it when we fight.  I’ll stop, I promise.”  He says sincerely as Alcina nods looking guilty, Rose smiles accepting their apologies.
“No more sappiness get to the action I’m getting bored!” Angie cried out from Daniela’s lap.  Rose rolls her eyes at the doll’s bratty attitude and begins the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game begins with a very familiar video to Ethan and Mia and the sight of Mia recording her warning message on the ship.
“What the…. How is this happening?  It showed the recording from my eyes, but I never recorded that…” Mia says stunned.
The next scene starts with the sound of a phone ringing and the overhead video of a car driving down a highway.  Ethan begins to speak to and unknown man in the voice over explaining how he was contacted by Mia and that she wants him to come and get her.
“This has to be a sick prank!  How did these people get that phone call!” Ethan shouts getting more and more upset as the clip plays. Mia places a hand on his arm to comfort him.
“Maybe there will be an explanation later.  There has to be….” Mia says trying to calm Ethan.
Rose pauses the game as it shifts to Ethan’s perspective in the car, “We don’t have to keep playing if this is making you guys uncomfortable.” She says to her parents.
Ethan takes a deep breath, “No, no… it’s fine, you were really excited for this.  I was just shocked.  I’m okay to keep going, as long as you are okay too Mia.”  She nods in agreement with her husband clearly rattled but pushing through.  Rose nods continuing the game as she walks Ethan through the thick Louisiana swamp towards the Baker house.
The first obstacle they encounter is a locked gate.  She moves him down a path leading to a trashed car with camera equipment scattered around it.  Looking in they find a scrip proposal for Sewer Gators Ep. 17.
They then come across a broken gate with a sign that says, “Accept Her Gift”, “Oh yeah definitely just walk through that incredibly ominous gate into the disgusting swamp.” Heisenberg says gesturing towards the screen, “I’d just say, ‘sorry lady I’m not that desperate for a wife’ and dip.”
“He has a point dad, I mean really its been three years.  Just move on.” Rose says to her father.
Ethan blushes, “Hey you can’t judge a man in love.  I had to know what happened.”
“Nah man, just accept the death bro.  Totally not worth it.” Daniela says interjecting.
“I’m right her you know.” Mia says scolding them.  Rose giggles and continues on.  They come across the remains of a fire with Mia’s purse laying there.  They then enter the Guest house finding it to be disgusting and in disrepair.
“God, I forgot how gross this place was.” Ethan says wrinkling his nose.
Rose looks around the living room area, finding a hidden chain that opens a hidden room they go through. Exploring further leads them into a flooded basement they are forced to crawl through.
“Oh, please Ethan, I know you are insanely stubborn but the corpse in the flooded basement should have been an indicator to leave immediately.” Alcina says as the dead body floats up in front of them.
“Ok, Ok I get it I’m a crazy person for going on, but can we please stop commenting on it.  I’m aware of the insanity.” Ethan replies as Rose comes up into a basement room with a jail cell containing Mia as well as other information on people who were listed as turned or dead.  They pick up the bolt cutters and break open Mia’s cell.  While they are being reunited Mia acts strangely warning him of the dangers and of Daddy.
“Pft, seriously? Daddy?” Dani snickers at Mia.
“Don’t start.  I was possessed by a child obsessed with family.” Mia says glaring at Dani.
Rose follows Mia through the basement where she and Ethan stop to talk about the last three years.
“Come on! This is a life or death situation, get a move on!” Cassandra yells out at the screen.
Rose continues to creep through the basement following Mia as Ethan learning more about her capture as they walk.  They come across a living room type area where Mia starts to act strangely, talking about family and when Ethan leaves, they hear her crash through the wall revealing a staircase to the house.  They move through the house looking for Mia.  They hear crashing coming from the stairs they came from and return to find Mia on all fours crawling up the stairs.  She attacks Ethan looking monstrous as she throws him back up with superhuman strength. She then attacks him with a knife stabbing him through the hand.  After a struggle she regains control rambling about a strange her as she slams her head against the wall.
“Jesus man, that is hard core…” Heisenberg says in awe. Mia grimaces at the memory.  Rose continues on wandering before they are attacked by Mia once again.  They fight her off with an axe.  “Ethan, my friend, you always have to double check that your enemy is dead.  She is definitely gonna get up again, classic horror trope.” Heisenberg says wisely.
“Karl, this actually happened.  I wasn’t thinking about ‘horror tropes’.  I was focusing on surviving.” Ethan says to him.
“Also, of course I’m going to get up, I’m sitting right here.  I’m clearly not dead.” Mia says exasperated.
Rose moves on with the game ignoring them and answers the phone that had begun to ring.  “Dad why did you answer the phone? Just leave.” She says as Zoe gives her warning to Ethan.  “Oh yeah let’s listen to the random phone lady and not just break a window.” She says rolling her eyes.
They move on solving the puzzle for the stairs catching a glimpse of the not at all dead Mia.  Replacing the fuse, they are jumped by Mia again who attacks him with a screwdriver pinning him to the wall before chopping his had off with a chainsaw.
“My god man! How did you keep going!” Sal exclaims looking at Ethan who just shrugs.
They find a pistol in one of the rooms and use it to take care of the attacking Mia as she rants crazily. Finally taking her down, they are ambushed by Jack Baker who punches him in the face.
“See I told you that you should have moved faster, now ‘Daddy’ caught you.” Cass says as Ethan falls over and is stomped on by Jack.  They see him being dragged and Mia being carried by Jack, the scene changes to Ethan strapped to a chair with Zoe staples his hand back on.  He finally fully awakes to a disgusting family dinner with the whole Baker family.
“Ugh, I miss Momma’s cooking so much.” Mia says reminiscing happily.  Everyone stares at her as they see the disgusting meal on the table in game.  She blushes, “Before she went fully crazy, she was an amazing cook.  Her gumbo was to die for, oh and Daddy’s fried chicken, mmm.”  She explains to them.  No one seems convinced as the scene continues with Lucas throwing food at him and Marguerite tries to get Ethan to eat, and Jack cuts off Lucas’ hand. Jack comes over and forces the rancid food into Ethan’s face as Marguerite rants and leaves angrily, Jack then cuts Ethan’s face before being interrupted by the doorbell.  They escape and flee through the house trying to find an exit. They find a key and are chased by Jack before escaping to the crawlspace.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They explore the house before a police officer tries to ask Ethan questions.
“Man, that officer is kind of a dick…” Heisenberg says realizing how rude and unprofessional the officer is.
“He was a massive dick.” Ethan says frustrated at the memory of their interactions.  They make the way to the garage to meet the rude officer who refuses to take the situation seriously which leads to his death and Ethan’s continued entrapment.  “See, massive dick, we could have escaped, but noooo.” He says.
Rose nods in agreement as she avoids Jack in the garage and tries to defeat him with the car.  The car crashes and catches fire revealing an on fire Jack who is knocked down by the resulting explosion.  They collect the items in the room before climbing up the revealed ladder. Jack stops Ethan and shoots himself in the head with Ethan’s gun.
“I’ll say it again, he ain’t dead.  He’s coming back sooner or later.” Heisenberg says again.
“Yeah, no shit Sherlock. This game’s been full of tropes so far.” Cassandra responds to him rolling her eyes.
Rose continues on solving puzzles and making their way through the labyrinthine house avoiding the obviously not dead Jack and the molded that are scattered around the house. They see Jack mumbling to himself about being “her” and talking about how he is going to kill Ethan.
“God he’s so cool.” Dani says as he leaves the room getting looks from the others, “What? He’s a cool villain.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fight with Jack was a bit of a struggle for Rose, but she made it through with Heisenberg, Dani, and Cass cheering her on.
When he finally exploded, both Heisenberg and Dani called out in joy, “Now that’s how you kill a villain!” Heisenberg shouted out with a laugh and high fived Dani over Rose’s head. As they make their way through the house again completing puzzles and finding Grandma in random places.
“She is the one who caused all this.” Alcina says pointing at Grandma.  Ethan and Mia looks shocked.
“How did you know that?” Mia asks. Alcina scoffs as if it is obvious.
“She hasn’t had the focus at all, yet she appears at random seemingly following Ethan, who we know is the next victim in mind.  She is clearly Eveline.”  She says smugly to everyone’s shocked faces.
Rose moved on ignoring the gloating.  She came across a trailer in the yard, exploring it revealed that it was Zoe’s home containing some useful items that she ignored moving to leave as the phone rang. Zoe explained about the mold and how to progress.
“Why are you so trusting of this woman, you don’t know her, and she has admitted that she is a part of the family trying to kill you?” Bela asked turning to face Ethan.  He opened his mouth to answer but nothing came out, he paused thinking and shrugged.  Bela rolled her eyes at him, “Typical man thing.” She mumbled out returning to her original position.
They move on to the old house and Marguerite just as Zoe instructed. Coming across baby dolls strung up from the rafters of the bridge.  “Whoever made those should be killed.” Donna said quietly.  Everyone looked at her confused.  “The look like such poor quality dolls, anyone who cares would never let them fall apart so easily.  Cheap plastic is the worst fate a doll can experience.” She explains confident.
“You aren’t upset at the fact that they are strung up, just that they suck?” Rose asks her.
“Of course, you can do what you like with them, but the craft must be respected.  These cheap factory made ones are a disgrace.”  Donna explains upset at the virtual dolls.  Rose mumbles an ok before moving on into the bug infested old house.  They make their way through the house avoiding mutant bugs and solving puzzles.
“Gotta say girls, these things really remind me of you three.” Heisenberg says as Rose burns her way through the nests of bugs.
“How dare you compare my girls to these disgusting things!  They are clearly superior in every way.” Alcina says angrily defending her girls.
“Thank you, mother, but he has a bit of a point.” Bela says to her mother with Cassandra nodding in agreement.
“Momma has a point though too! We are better than those things!” Dani says beaming at her mother. Cass mumbles suck up under her breath and is smacked by Dani.
Soon after they find Mia in game again, she explains her amnesia and is taken away by Lucas.  Not being able to help they continue on through the house again.  Eventually they are found by Marguerite who begins to stalk them through the house attacking them with her swarm of insects, insane rants, and vulgar obscenities.
“This lady is something else…” Heisenberg says cringing at Marguerite.
“For once we agree on something Karl.” Alcina agrees cringing as well.  The others nod in agreement with them.
They make their way through a secret passageway revealed by the spider shadow puzzle.  The wall space was infested which had everyone cringing at the writhing masses of centipedes.  They collect the crank and the crow key and try to enter Marguerite’s room before she throws him down the stairs and through the floor.  After a short encounter, she falls into the hole and melts into black goo. They collect information on the D series pieces and Zoe calls again, and she mentions they only need the arm piece as she has the D series head.  They return to the hole to see the goo gone and a long spindly arm take the lantern needed to progress.  They follow the monstrosity to well in front of the old house returning to Zoe’s trailer. They return to a new section of the old house where they are attacked by a mutated spider like Marguerite.
They run around the house, avoiding her swarms and attacks while burning her with the flamethrower and peppering her with shotgun shots to the disgusting nest on her lower half.
“I take it back; you girls are way more similar to the bug lady.” Heisenberg says once she finally dies. Alcina slaps the back of his head and growls at him.
“Momma can we mutate like that too!” Dani says excitedly as Bela and Cass cringe.
“Absolutely not.  Do not even think about trying.” Alcina scolds while Heisenberg and Rose chuckle at them.
“Why would anyone want to have a gross bug vagina?”  Cassandra turns around asking her sister.
Dani shrugs, “I don’t know, I just think it would be neat.” Rose shoves the controller into Dani’s hands and takes Angie from her.
“No more bug talk, you play, I’m getting tired.” Rose says stretching.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They find their way into Eveline’s secret room and collect the arm.  They go to meet Zoe in her trailer only to find that no one is there.  They answer a call from Lucas where he tells Ethan that he has both Zoe and Mia, and that Ethan needs to play his game to save them and get the head.  They make their way back to the main house’s dissection room where they pull the snake key out of the dead deputy’s neck hole.  Lucas’ voice come out through a speaker explaining they need to find two keycards so they can meet.
“Ohhh, I love this guy! I’m getting so many ideas for new games, hehehe!” Angie says excitedly bouncing in Rose’s lap.  Donna glares at the doll chastising her through their mental link.  Angie pouts at the scolding.
They make their way through the increasingly molded main house solving Lucas’ puzzles and dodging the molded shambling around.  They find the blue keycard and make their way down into a secret room containing the red keycard.  Lucas calls again at the phone in the main hall, leading Ethan to a party in the barn.
They enter the barn to thumping music and glowing paint under a black light.  They come across a room with a television showing Lucas ranting and waving the D series head around, ranting about how he doesn’t want to give up his gift and that they can only get the serum from him before the television explodes.  They make their way through the barn avoiding trip mines and coming up to a locked gate with a passcode.  Lucas makes an appearance taunting Ethan and giving him incorrect passwords before a trap springs and a secret door opens up.
They wind through the barn avoiding the traps and taking out the molded arriving at Lucas’ arena where they fight off a giant molded.  After the fight they find the correct passcode to enter the birthday room.  They solve his puzzles and escape through the hole created by the dynamite.  They see a television with Zoe and Mia, Zoe explains where they are before Lucas cuts the camera to himself ranting about nothing.  They collect the D series head and leave the barn making their way to Zoe and Mia.  They release Zoe and Mia before collecting the completed serum.  Just after they are ambushed by a fully mutated Jack.
“Wait he isn’t dead?! I can’t believe I didn’t call it!” Heisenberg calls out as Dani fights Jack.
After a long grueling fight, taking out Jacks many swollen eyes and using one of the two serums to calcify him at Zoe’s request.  Walking down the pier they are faced with a choice to cure either Zoe or Mia.
“Well clearly we are supposed to cure mom. Its what dad did in real life.” Rose says.
“True, I did.  I did feel bad though, Chris ended up saving Zoe and her uncle, so it all ended up good.” Ethan says.
“Yeah, sure choosing Mia is what really happened but what if we chose Zoe?” Dani asks hovering over Zoe in game.
“No! We can do it later right now we are choosing mom.” Rose says sternly.
“Fiiiiinnnnnee.” Dani whines out giving Mia the serum.  They take the raft down the river listening to Ethan and Mia talk about the situation before they come across the wrecked boat Mia and Eveline arrived on.  They are attacked by the mold, and they switch to Mia’s perspective as they hear Eveline speak to her through their mental connection.
“Well, this is going to be interesting, I’ve never seen this before.” Ethan says as they move into the ship. They find an unconscious Ethan who is taken by the mold deeper into the ship.  They move through the mold infested ship as Mia, getting flashbacks as they move on.  They follow the phantom Eveline to a room containing a television where they watch a video tape that blends into them playing through the situation leading to the crash of the ship and the infection of the Baker family.
They see Mia’s partner Alan who explains he is the reason Eveline escaped he explains that she needs to fix his mess and they begin to track Eveline through the ship.  They finally come across Eveline in the engine room before she runs off again.  They find Alan again in the room next to the one where they started the video tape. As he explains that Eveline is deteriorating, he insults her, and she overtakes him with the mold.  The mold then spreads to Mia infecting her.  They then see Mia recording the warning video from the beginning of the game.  The section ends with Mia being blown off the ship and floating unconscious in the water, before returning to the present with Mia and the Phantom Eveline talking. Making their way to the bridge they use the surveillance cameras to find Ethan trapped in mold in the engine room. On the way there they are impeded by the phantom Eveline and the remaining molded.
As Mia finds Ethan, the perspective swaps back to Ethan’s mind as he speaks to a sane Jack.  He explains that Eveline is the cause of all the murders and kidnappings.  He says that they were infected when He rescued her from the crashed tanker.  Jack also explains that stopping Eveline will stop the mold.  Before Ethan awakens to Eveline and Mia arguing.  Mia rips him free from the mold prison and gives him the tissue sample before locking him out of the engine room urging him to kill Eveline.  They continue through the bayou to a salt mine near the Baker house.  They hear a military broadcast explaining a team was sent in to take down Eveline. They traverse the salt mines finding an underground lab with information on Eveline and the E series mold.  They use Eveline’s tissue samples to make the E- Necrotoxin that is used to kill her permanently. As they exit the mine, Ethan sees flashes of Eveline as she sends the molded to kill him. They exit the mine into the original room Ethan found Mia in where he has a vision of Mia panicking.  He continues to see visions of Mia’s attack on him and Eveline controlling her.  They stab Eveline with the serum, and she reveals her true form as Grandma before melting away and mutating into a large monstrosity.
As Dani fights the massive face of Eveline, Miranda mumbles to herself, “Absolutely fascinating.  How she responds to different stimuli and the delayed injection of the Necrotoxin.” Rose and Dani scream forgetting that Miranda was sitting behind them.
“Jesus Christ! What is wrong with you! You scared the living hell out of us!” Rose yells at her turning to face Miranda who has a notebook open in her lap.  “What are you even doing?”
Miranda blushes at being caught, “I was taking notes on how E-001 reacted and how the family responded to the infection.  It is incredibly fascinating that the whole Baker family mutated without becoming one of the shambling molded.”
“Trust me she was about to run off and work more before I stopped her.” Elena interjects into Miranda’s rambling.  “Don’t worry, I won’t let her work on the Eveline project outside of simply watching videos.” Miranda’s blush deepens and she looks embarrassed at being called out by her lab assistant.
“Good, no more mind control children allowed.” Dani says rudely turning back to the screen continuing the final fight.
Ethan is thrown from the house and sees helicopters arriving at the house as he is attacked by Eveline. He uses an unknown gun to shoot Eveline calcifying and crumbling her finally.  After the battle, Ethan and Mia are rescued by Chris.  The final shots of the game are Ethan speaking over clips of marshlands and the reveal of the Blue Umbrella helicopter.
“Well that certainly was something….” Ethan says as the credits roll.  Mia wide eyed and shocked nods in agreement.
“So, all that actually happened?” Rose asks her parents, they both nod. “Ok well that doesn’t explain how the heck this got made or why we were sent it or by who!” Rose rants.
“Who cares, it was awesome!” Dani exclaims high fiving Angie who cheers with her.
“Can we leave now? My back is beginning to hurt.” Bela complains standing up and stretching.
Rose boos her, “Fine be boring.  What did everyone else think?” She asks everyone left in the room.
“Amazing! Fantastic! Ten out of ten!” Dani exclaims clinging onto Rose.
“It was interesting, very cinematic.  A bit tropey at times but it works in its favor.  Especially since this technically happened.  The villains were enjoyable and empathetic at the same time.” Heisenberg critiques.
“Yeah, whatever it was fine.” Cass says getting up and leaving the room.
“I had quite a nice time, I’m glad you suggested this, Rose.” Alcina says picking up the sleeping Donna. “I’m sure Donna will apologize for falling asleep tomorrow morning.  Have a good night.”  She kisses the top of Rose and Dani’s heads and leave the room.
“It was quite informative, thank you for inviting me, Rose.  I truly appreciate it.  Now I must go and review my notes.” Miranda says looking at her notebook as she slowly leaves the room.
“We are actually going to bed, but thanks for inviting us, Rose.  We’ll have to do it again soon!” Elena says grabbing Miranda’s arm and taking her notebook.
“I think your mom and I have some talking to do, but you guys have a good night sweetie.” Ethan says getting up before kissing Rose on the head.
“Yeah, outside of the horrifying content of this ‘game’ it was fun.  Have a good night honey.” Mia says following her husband to their room.
“Alright seems like the party is dying down and someone has to get Sal to his room.  Seems like he and Donna can’t stay up late like us cool kids.” Heisenberg laughs out shaking Sal awake.  Sal stands up groggily and leans ion Heisenberg as they leave to their respective rooms.
“Lame everyone left. You want to stay up or are you hitting the sack too?” Dani asks Rose.
“I think I’m going to bed too.  I have a lot to think about.” Rose says hugging Dani, “See you in the morning Dan.”  Dani decides to follow Rose and they head to bed.
In his assigned quarters, the Duke watches the group scatter to their rooms for bed, “I’m glad they enjoyed my little gift.  Hopefully, it answers some questions for them.” The Duke says to himself chuckling.

i kno i said this before but ima say it again since theres a lotta new followering ppl here (hi im brina im dys adhd and autistic and make up my own words since i have trouble reading anyways, im abt to work in a bookstore, this is not contradictory at all);
Daniela has both eyes golden, and the flower symbol on her forehead is the least filled out among her sisters, pretty much only the rose and the dagger are there on her.
Bela has the complete symbol on her head, the full flower, stem dagger, leaves, moondust, all of it. She has both golden eyes, however her right eye is a lighter shade than her left, but she still has fairly decent vision in both eyes.
Cassandra is in between, the moondust/circle is half filled in on her head, the flower’s there, the dagger, but the circle is not complete and neither are the leaves. She has a golden left eye, and her right eye is grey, she’s essentially completely blind in the right eye, all she can see in her right eye are light tonal differences, and that’s it.
All three are autistic, most obvious would be daniela due to her hyperfixation on playing games and her flowers, the fact all three have very clear communication issues with others (coughs unkie heisy coughs) but are incredibly blunt and straightforward are a good portion of the symbolism for this.
Cassandra has Dyslexia and Dyspraxia, and again, is essentially entirely blind in one eye (since before she was turned) dyspraxia may in fact be entirely canon based on the balance issues she exhibits in game. As the mun is also dyslexic and does not appreciate it due to trauma, any dyslexia jokes and insults are very high on my dont fucking think abt it list. Its not funny, its difficult as all hell to live with.
Bela does exhibit some signs (primarily in unused but findable in game files audio clips) of obsessive compulsive disorder, the real one not the television bs offensive one, her compulsivity to certain thoughts and actions is especially noticeable in her audio files. a lot of her strictness and distaste for her sisters interests does come from that.
some would argue that dani’s narcissistic, i don’t personally see it nor do i write that. She has an incredibly high self interest, yes, but having a superiority complex doesn’t instantly equal narcissism, and again, ive suffered from abuse from a narcissistic individual and actually have written a few, and her personality doesn’t tick those boxes. She’s more spoiled than narcissistic imo and that’s how i write her, again others methods of writing her and people who write her that i’d write with (pLEASE write w me i crave family things) your portrayal is yours, and if you write her as such good on you! I just don’t personally, and my headcanons for her wouldnt fit that.
(‘brina u make all ur muses autistic’ not all but if i see enough probability ima do it reality wont gimme any kind of rep so ima do it myself)

the Dimitrescu's with their Titan s/o who protect them from the military force attacking the castle.
I'm assuming when you said Titan, you meant the greek mythology ones... not the anime ones.
Because as much as I love both... I can only focus on one. I hate my brain like that.
I'm adding up Donna too, hope you don't mind. From Ethan only.
Also, Reader can harness the respective Titans' powers.
Alcina Dimitrescu / Lady Dimitrescu
You heard a loud explosion from somewhere in the castle and quickly look at your wife and daughters in panic.
'Shit.' Was the first thought that came to mind. Then calm as you stand.
"Alcina. Take Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela in the basement." You growl as you harness your power.
"But Y/N I can help-"
"My love I know you can." You smile at Alcina then gently kiss her hand. "But I would rather you be safe."
Alcina sighs in defeat and leaves with the three girls. You crack your neck as you leave her room.
"Those assholes are going to get what they deserve." You close your eyes and hear their footsteps. They were everywhere. Even in the goddamn courtyard. You sigh as you activate your traps.
"Years of work, you fucking pieces of shits." You hear their terrified screams and hum. You love having Koios's powers coursing through you. You jump down then wink at a terrified soldier as you punch through his helmet. Everyone else looks at you and you just smile then wink as you begin punching through them.
"Fuck! Retreat! Now!" Chris says to his squad as he sees your figure making it's way towards him.
"REDFIELD!" You call as you drag a soldier's body with you. He stops then turns to you. "The fuck did you think would happen?" You toss him the body and he flinches as the body lands in front of him. "That I would leave my house? My wife's daughters?" You growl. "You should have known better than to attack this Castle, Chris."
"I know! But they insisted I swear! It was not me, Y/LN!" You growl.
"Dimitrescu. I married Alcina. Get. It. Right."
"Got it! Dimitrescu!" You groan. Then turn to the castle. You glare at Chris.
"This better not be repeated. Or else I will fucking leave this village." You take a step towards him. "And I-" Another step. "Will hunt-" Another step. "Everyone in BSAA." Chris falls as you tower over him. "Got that?" He nods without a sound and you leave without a word.
When you get back, you see the maids are cleaning up the bodies and collecting blood. At least, they were practical.
"Thank you, Y/N." The grand chambermaid says and you tilt your head. "You punched them in the head, it'll be a lot easier collecting their bloods." You hum then smile.
"Thanks for cleaning up after me."
"You're welcome, Lady Dimitrescu." You grin then get inside.
"Darling!" Alcina calls out to you but a blurb gets to you first. You grunt as Daniela collides with you.
"Mama! Are you alright!? Are you hurt anywhere!?" You chuckle as you pat her head.
"I'm alright, Dani. Really." You smirk. "I'm a Titan, remember?"
"Still, darling." Alcina raises your head so you would look at her. "We all worry." You look at your daughters then smile.
"I'm fine. Really." You notice the ring on Alcina's finger then grin. "I have everything I can ever need."
Donna Beneviento
In more than one way, you've always had Hyperion's power coursing through you. With observation, you knew exactly how everything worked around the Beneviento house.
So when Ethan came to the village, all of your senses just screamed at you. You knew he was dangerous. Before you knew it, your feet were moving and you were evacuating the citizens who didn't have the cadou in their body.
You wrestled down Alcina's daughters and even had to make Alcina unconscious. Her devotion to Miranda had always evaded you. Moreau was convinced easily because you were Donna's lover. Something that he also wishes for himself.
Karl just smirked at you as he went with his siblings, needing no convincing. Donna was worried as you prepare yourself for Ethan's arrival.
"Y/N, are you sure about this?" She asks in her own voice, worry lacing every word. You smile as you kiss her hand.
"I am, my love. Don't worry." You assure her with a wink and send her to Karl. He was the one who would evacuate everyone.
You wait for Ethan's arrival and even snicker as he walks around confused at the state of the Village.
You greet him as he comes to Castle Dimitrescu. Seeing as it was where Karl found him before getting him to Mother Miranda.
He tries to shoot you but you catch the bullet mid-air and smile.
"I mean no harm, Ethan. I actually want to help you."
"Why?" You shrug.
"For my love? The family that actually cares about each other? Not being alone... or dying by your hands?"
"What?" You hum then give him some guns.
"Just prepare. Mother Miranda won't go down without a fight."
And she didn't. She even screamed at you for betraying her but you remind her of one thing.
"I love Donna. Not you."
You and Ethan save Rose from Miranda and you make sure to push them away before detonating the bomb.
Donna was frantic when she sees both Ethan and Rose but you were nowhere to be seen. Then they heard the explosion and Donna's face falls. But just then a figure was coming from the sky then lands with a puff of smoke.
"Fucking underworld!" You shout as you stand and get rid of the remaining smoke surrounding you. You focus on Chris and lift him with his collar. "Did you really have to put up that much!? Fucking asshole!? If I wasn't a Titan, I would've died!"
"Y/N." You let him go in favor of turning to Donna with a smile. She cries and you panic.
"What's wrong, my love!? Are you hurt!? Did anybody hurt you!?" Donna just hugs you and you smile as you tighten the hug. "I'm okay, Donna."
It will take a long time to rebuild the village but you don't mind. As you long as you were with her.
Bela Dimitrescu
You were with Bela in the library when Daniela's scream pierced through your ears. You and Bela quickly went to her younger sister who pointed outside.
Soldiers are coming through and it made you angry.
"Bela. Can you take both Cassandra and Daniela somewhere safe? Since Lady Alcina is still out."
"But Y/N we can-"
"No. The cold is still prominent. You'll only put yourselves in danger. Go somewhere safe. I'll deal with these assholes."
You sigh as you feel Iapetus's powers coursing through you. There is a reason why you don't go to hunts with the Dimitrescu sisters.
Because if you did. You'll overdo it.
You were on the roof on the courtyard and you crack your neck as they arrive and point their guns at you. A golden spear appears as you hold out your hand.
"Deaths! For all of you!" Your eyes turn red and you start your onslaught.
In just minutes, they were all wiped out and you were standing over countless bodies. You sigh as you dismiss your spear. You get inside the castle and slide down the doors. Bela comes out of nowhere and you chuckle.
"I thought I told you to go somewhere safe." She nods then pulls you to stand. She hugs you and you sigh in relief.
"I am. I feel safer in your arms."
Cassandra Dimitrescu
It was night and all three of them were on a hunt. You were on the Castle's most highest point, just observing your love and her sisters. Then you heard massive vehicles and growl. You get down and go to Cassandra.
"Y/N! Are you-"
"No. The military is coming. Go back to the castle and warn Lady Alcina. Tell her to go somewhere safe with you guys."
"Their bullets won-"
"I know! But still. Cass. Please. I'll protect you so please." Cassandra sees the sorrow in your eyes then sigh in defeat. She pulls you then kisses you hard.
"Come back to me." You smile then nod.
"Always." You stretch your body as Oceanus's powers course through it. You hum then go greet the unwanted guests. It was a good thing that the Castle had it's own lake.
With a flick of your wrist, the vehicles were stopped by a massive wave of water. All of the soldiers got out and you hum.
Two dozens. You make quick work of them with your powers.
You look at their Captain.
"Chris Redfield. I would say it's nice to see you but then I'd be lying." You raise his body with water and your eyes take on a dangerous glint. "What are you doing here? Why are you targeting this castle?"
"There are reports. Of massive Bio Organic Weapons in this area."
"Oh."
"We were sent to kill them." You hum then smile.
"Tell the BSAA to leave this village alone. I'll deal with Miranda in due time."
"But-"
"Chris. Do you really want to drown right now?" He shakes his head and you smile. "Good. Now go. Tell them that Y/N, the titan of lost time shall take care of matters here."
"Of course. You won't attack us, right?" You smirk as you turn.
"As long as you leave us alone, I won't." You get back to the castle as Chris goes back.
You get inside and look blankly as Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela looked ready to kill whoever went through the door. You just hug Cassandra as Alcina looks at you.
"I assume the soldiers are taken care of." You nod and look at her.
"They're all disposed of. Lady Dimitrescu."
"And you? Any injuries at all?" You shake your head.
"Just tired." Cassandra drags you after saying goodnight to her mother. You were ready to fall asleep as she opens her door.
You plop down on her bed and was asleep in just mere seconds. She joins you after she fixes your position.
When you cuddle her, she hums in satisfaction.
Daniela Dimitrescu
It was supposed to be a peaceful day. But then a loud explosion can be heard on the gate. You and Daniela raced downstairs to see what it was. Alcina greeted you.
"What is it? Who is it?"
"Soldiers. The military seems to have gotten wind of us." You groan.
"Pain in the ass." You sigh. "Let me take care of them." Daniela pulls you.
"What? Y/N, no-"
"Dani. Daughter. I believe you are underestimating your lover." You smile at Daniela.
"She's right." You wink. "I'll just be 5 minutes, tops." You open the doors and the explosions stopped. Looks like they finally opened it. Mnemosyne's powers are coursing through you and you get a sword from the entrance. Your sword.
And despite not fighting for more than decades now, it seems that your enhanced memory comes in handy in times like this. You still remember every move. Every warrior you've defeated. Every single thing they did while they fought you.
When the battle ends, your sword is absolutely soaked in blood and your clothes are more than tainted. You sigh as you get back to the castle. You have to apologize to the maid because of your bloody clothes.
Daniela hugs you as you get inside and Alcina nods at you, a certain glint in her eyes.
You hug Daniela back and place your sword back to it's rightful place.
You get inside her room and take a shower before changing clothes, apologizing profusely to the amused grand chambermaid who thanks you for protecting the castle.
That night, as you slept through the night. Daniela thanks the stars that she met you.
A/N:
This took too long. Damn.
I still have requests to write then I'll get back to writing the Loving You sequel and other stuff that I'm working on.
Comments and thoughts are always welcome!
Thank you for reading!

În Viață Și În Moarte - In Life And In Death
ao3 link! you have every right to yell at me over on @homoo-wan-kenobi! I'm sorry for the sad fic, inspired by this ask by @schnuffel-puschel. tell me what you all thought, and please enjoy. mild violence and reader dies, I'm sorry. if it's any consolation, I cried writing this.
tu esti totul pentru mine - you're everything to me
***
Alcina had instructed you to stay in one of the rooms in the east wing of the castle, telling you not to open the door for anybody that was her, her daughters, or your handmaiden.
“I don’t care what commotion you hear outside this room, do not open this door for any reason. I need you to stay right here, draga mea, and I need you to take care of yourself and the baby.” Alcina said before she kissed your forehead.
“Come back to us, please.” You said softly as you squeezed her hand tightly, a move that she reciprocated.
That was four days ago. There wasn’t much commotion to be heard outside the door, just the wind howling outside your window. Your handmaiden brought you your meals whenever she could, often leaving you something to snack on just in case one of your meals was late. You’d often try to open the door, but soon realised that it was locked from the outside so despite Alcina’s words, you couldn’t let anybody in any way.
Pacing back and forth didn’t help with your anxiety over what was happening. What exactly was happening? Alcina didn’t tell you as she rushed you slightly to the other side of the castle. You jumped when the door to your room opened, hiding under the covers.
“Hello?” A voice called out. It definitely wasn’t Alcina. No, the voice was unfamiliar, but it sounded like a man’s voice. “Is anybody here?” The voice asked.
You slowly came up from under the covers, revealing your presence in the room. “Who are you?” You asked.
“My name’s Ethan Winters. What’s yours?” Ethan replied as he walked over to where you were on the bed.
"My name's Y/N. May I ask what you're doing here in the castle, Mr. Winters?" You asked.
"I'm looking for my daughter, Rose, they're keeping her here. Have you seen her?" Ethan asked. You shook your head. "I see you're having a baby too, right?" Ethan gestured to your protruding belly.
You smiled. "I am, she'll be born quite soon, actually." You replied.
Ethan nodded. "Well, we best get you out of this place. I'm sure the news of those monsters in this castle having my child worry you about them taking yours." Ethan replied as he grabbed your hand to pull you out of the bed, you resisted. "Y/N, what's wrong?" Ethan asked.
"The Lady of the castle has instructed me to stay here for my own safety." You replied. "She's taken very good care of me for well over a year, Mr. Winters."
Ethan scratched his head. "And you trust her?" You nodded your head. "Are you under a spell of some sort? Don't you see that she's just keeping you safe until she can get her hands on your child?" Ethan asked.
You slowly got out of the bed. "Alcina would never do anything to harm me or our child, Mr. Winters." You replied. "I'd really like it if you left the room or better yet, left the castle. Your daughter is not here, I'm afraid you've been misinformed." You explained.
"Maybe I have, but I can't just leave you here." Ethan said before grabbing your hand and pulling you out of the room.
You struggled against him. "Mr. Winters, please, I'm perfectly safe. I appreciate your concern." You tried tugging your arm free but his grip was too tight. "Mr. Winters, you're hurting me." You whimpered slightly.
He stopped and let go of your wrist. "Sorry." Ethan said before he started walking again. You followed after him. "How do you get out of this place?" He muttered to himself.
"I can help you find the way out." You replied. "The front door should actually be open and then you're good from there." The two of you walked down the stairs. A maniacal laugh rang out. "Just keep going. That's probably Daniela."
You'd been right. "Y/N?" Daniela asked.
"Hi, Dani. I was just showing Mr. Winters the way out. He won't be bothering us anymore." You replied. You tried to open the front door but it wouldn't budge. You frowned. "Dani, why does Alcina have the front door locked?" You asked, turning back around to face her.
"To keep him from going out. Why aren't you in the room, Y/N? Mother's going to be very crossed with you." Daniela replied. "Cass! Bela! Mr. Winters is by the front door, if you're around." Daniela called out before she went to grab your hand.
"Don't touch her." Ethan said as he pulled out his gun.
You gasped. "Mr. Winters, what are you doing? Put the gun down." You said. "Please."
"Y/N, you really shouldn't witness what I'm about to do." Ethan replied. "Take this key, it'll lead you to the Courtyard. Whatever you do, don't turn around for any noises that you hear." Ethan handed you the key.
You shook your head and dropped the key to the floor. "No, I won't leave you alone with her." You replied. "Everything's going to be fine, Dani, I'm just going to help him leave the castle grounds and then I'll be back." You said.
"No, Y/N, you're not allowed to leave the castle, not with the baby on the way. Just go back to the room before Mother finds it empty." You nodded your head and turned to leave, but then you heard Ethan fire his gun, the bullet missing Daniela. "You son of a bitch." Daniela gritted through her teeth as she lunged forward towards him. You heard another two shots fire and then you heard a ringing in your ear and the faint sound of someone saying your name "Y/N? Y/N? Hey, stay with me." Daniela held you in her lap.
"What hap-" You couldn't get the whole question out.
"Cass! Bela! Mother! Please, come quickly!" You heard Daniela yell as loudly as she could. "You monster. Why the fuck would you shoot her?!" Daniela screamed at Ethan.
"I'm sorry, she got in the way. It was for you, only or you." Ethan was paralysed with shock, realising what he'd done. He dropped his gun.
You could hear the faint sound of buzzing and then faint clicking and clacking of heels. "Da- Dani, the b-ba-baby," You croaked out.
Daniela spoke to you through tears. "Shh, Y/N, Mother's almost here. She'll help you. You'll be fine. And the baby will be fine." Daniela rambled as she held onto your body tightly.
"Daniela? What happened?" Alcina asked. Daniela looked up at her. Alcina's eyes came upon your body and she turned to Ethan. "You fucking rat! What have you done?!" Alcina was furious. She wanted that man dead. You could hear the sound of blood squelching as she impaled Ethan with her claws, not stopping until her dress was covered in his blood or one of her daughters pulled her off.
"Mother, Y/N's losing blood fast, and the baby..." Daniela trailed off.
"Call Mother Miranda. Have her and Heisenberg get here as quickly as they can. Take Y/N to the sitting room and put her in a comfortable position." Alcina instructed her daughters. Alcina picked up Ethan's bloody body. "By the time I'm done disposing of his body, they should be here." Alcina left the room without another word.
You always thought a gunshot would kill someone instantly. You'd gotten hit in the shoulder and the chest. The shot to your chest should've been fatal, but here you were being carried by Daniela to the sitting room and being put into a comfortable position as her Mother had instructed. True to her word Mother Miranda and Heisenberg had gotten to the castle a few short seconds before Alcina came back.
"Mother Miranda, Heisenberg, she's in the sitting room." Alcina said as she guided them to where you were. Your breathing was quite shallow and it hurt to breathe. "Relax, my dear, Mother Miranda will do what she can to help you." Alcina ran her over your cheek and pressed a kiss to your forehead.
"Alcina, my dear, I don't think this'll work." Mother Miranda replied.
Alcina's face hardened. "Alci, think about Y/N and the baby." Heisenberg said. "We might not be able to save both of them."
Alcina eyes filled with tears at the thought of only one of you living. "No. No, we must help them both." Alcina said. "We can, we can deliver the baby and then tend to Y/N's wounds. Yes, yes, we'll give her the virus if we must." Heisenberg let out a deep sigh, Alcina scowled at him.
"Oh, Alcina, I'm afraid Y/N's lost more blood than I can work with. The virus won't take with the lack of blood." Mother Miranda replied. Alcina opened her mouth to protest, but Mother Miranda raised her hand. "However, I can deliver the baby if we can keep Y/N awake long enough. It's too risky to have her push with the blood loss so I'll have to cut into her."
Alcina nodded her head, taking your hand in hers. "Do what you must." Alcina replied. "I'm so sorry, iubirea mea. I've failed to keep you and our child safe, I failed at the one thing I promised you when you first came here. I failed at protecting you." Alcina pressed a kiss to the hand that she was holding.
You let out a small groan. "Al?" You asked.
"Yes, draga mea?" Alcina replied.
"The baby. Take care of her." It took you a while to get the sentence out but you managed to say it.
Alcina nodded her head. "Of course, my darling. I will protect her with everything I have in me. I won't break my promise to you twice, I wouldn't dare." Alcina could feel the tears falling down her face as Heisenberg's hand came upon her shoulder.
"You'll have to say goodbye now, Alci. It's likely that she won't wake up after the procedure." Heisenberg's word left a bitter taste in his mouth. The thought of you dying hurt him. You were like family to all of them even Mother Miranda. Heisenberg gave the hand Alcina wasn't holding a light squeeze before he walked over to the other side of the room. He couldn't find it in himself to say goodbye to you.
You could see the blurry outlines of Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela as they kneeled down beside you. You tried to give them a small smile but you just ended up grunting in pain at the attempt, coughing a bit.
"We'll miss you." Bela said. She placed a kiss to your cheek before standing up, the wetness of her tears lingering on your cheek.
Cassandra sniffled. "Terribly so. But we'll look after the little one, promise." Cassandra stroked your arm before standing next to Bela.
Daniela picked up your hand and looked up at her Mother. "It should be me lying here. His shots were meant for me, not you, you stupid little human. Why would you do that? It's not fair, you were supposed to be with us forever." Daniela wiped at her tears. "You said forever and now you're leaving us. Like two peas in a pod, you and Mother broke your promises. You stupid, stupid human, it should've been me." Daniela muttered those last few words to herself.
You gave her hand the tightest squeeze you could muster. "S-s-sor-sorry." Daniela brought your hand up to her mouth, her tears hitting the back of your hand. "Sorry."
Daniela pressed a kiss to your hand and then your forehead. "You better come back to us. I don't care how, just come back." Daniela whispered in your ear before she pushed herself up and went to stand with Bela and Cassandra.
Now it was Alcina's turn to say goodbye. You were fading faster, as your body was succumbing to your wounds.
"Y/N, my dear, tu esti totul pentru mine. Your spirit will live on in our child, I'm sure. She'll have your humour, your wisdom, and she'll have all of the love I can give her as I gave to you." Alcina placed one more kiss upon your forehead. "Goodbye, my love, may we meet again someday." Alcina went to rise but you moved your hand around to find hers. You could see her eyebrow raise through your fuzzy eyesight.
"Anastasia." You said softly. Alcina frowned. "Baby." You wheezed out.
Alcina smiled. "Anastasia. She who will rise again." Alcina said. "Sleep well, my darling. Our Anastasia will be taken care of." Alcina caressed your cheek before moving out of Mother Miranda's way.
You felt your eyes flutter close and you felt your breathing start to hurt less and less. Feeling the faint coldness of something against you as your breathing started to slow down. You heard soft cries as your hearing started to diminish. You felt at peace knowing that you were surrounded by the ones you called your family, knowing that they'd take great care of Anastasia. You felt at peace as you took your last breathe, your world now dark and quiet. As Mother Miranda had said while she sat beside you, "In each loss there is a gain, as in every gain there is a loss. and with each new ending comes a new beginning."

I'll Always Come Back
ao3 link! this is kind of a sequel to come back to me [ao3 & tumblr]... but I also realise that three years probably doesn't make sense in reincarnation but we're gonna pretend that it does for the sake of daniela! and I meant to post this last night, but I fell asleep! anyway, please enjoy and tell me what you think!
***
You’d been in the village for a few hours asking about directions to the castle, but most of the villagers that you asked to direct you just looked at you like you were insane. You could see them whispering and staring at you before they would shake their head at you to stop you from asking them for directions. Letting out a sigh you’d completely given up until someone tapped you on the shoulder causing you to spin around.
“Oh, uh, hi, sorry. I, um, I heard you were looking for a way to the castle, is that right?” The person asked. You nodded your head and they smiled. “I can help you get there if you like. I actually work at the castle.”
Your eyes lit up. “Oh, really? I would appreciate the help so much!” You replied. “My name’s Y/N, what’s yours?”
“Oh, my name’s Bela. It’s nice to meet you, Y/N.” Bela said as she squinted her eyes at you. “This might be a weird question, but have I seen you around here before?”
You quickly shook your head. “No, I’ve never been here before. I actually just moved here from overseas.” You replied as the two of you walked together.
“Hmm, my apologies then. You just look so familiar.” Bela said. “We’ll have to go get my sister before we make our way to the castle, Y/N, I hope the delay is alright with you.”
“It’s more than fine. I’m in no rush, really.” You said. “So what can you tell me about the castle and, um, the Lady of the Castle? What was her name, Alicia? Alice? Allison? I can’t remember.” You finally said after a few guesses.
“You mean Lady Dimitrescu?” You raised your eyebrow. “Her first name is Alcina, but nobody calls her by her first name. We address her as My Lady, Mistress, or Lady Dimitrescu.” You nodded your head at Bela’s explanation. “Will you wait right here? My sister, Cassandra, is taking an awfully long time in the shop and I’d like to get back before it gets any darker out.”
You nodded your head again. “Yeah, I can wait. It’s no problem for me.” You gave her a small smile that she returned before leaving you by yourself.
“Be wary of that one, child.” A voice said from behind you but when you looked back there was no one there so you shrugged it off.
You waited for a bit before you saw the blonde return with a brunette. “Do you think Daniela will like what I picked out?” You heard the brunette ask. You assumed she was Bela’s sister, Cassandra, but who was Daniela? “I know she’s been sad since the passing so I hope this cheers her up!”
“Trust me, Daniela’s going to like it.” Bela replied before she stopped in front of you. “Meet Y/N, Cass. I told them I work at the castle and that I would take them there.”
Cassandra frowned. “But you do-“ Bela elbowed her and growled a bit. “Oh, right, right. Yes, we work at the castle and would be more than happy to show you to it, Y/N!” Cassandra said with a big smile on her face.
“Come on, let’s go. It’s getting darker and colder by the minute and Lady Dimitrescu hates it when we arrive back late.” Bela said as she took your hand and started dragging you up the path that led to the Castle.
You shifted the bag on your shoulder as it was starting to become uncomfortable to carry. But you didn’t make your discomfort noticeable or at least you thought you didn’t until Cassandra leaned over to whisper in your ear.
“Want me to carry that for you?” Cassandra asked. You would’ve told her no, but she was already pulling the bag down your arm and on her own shoulder. “There! Much better.” She said before closing the distance between her and Bela. “Does Y/N seem familiar to you?”
“Yes! I asked if I’d seen them around, but they just moved to the village.” Bela replied. “But there’s just something about them that I can put my finger on.”
You could see Bela and Cassandra talking, but you couldn’t hear a word they said. You shoved your hands in your pocket as a cold wind sent a shiver down your spine. You didn’t even notice that the two sisters had stopped until you ran into Bela.
“Oh, sorry. Is something wrong?” You asked as you looked at the both of them. They shook their heads in response. “Alright then. Are we close to the Castle? The sun is barely visible and I know you said you wanted to get back before it got darker and colder, Bela.”
Bela gave you a small smile. “Yeah, the Castle is just over this hill.” Bela replied as she took off her cloak. “But put this on. It’ll hide how messy your appearance is to Lady Dimitrescu until we can get you cleaned up for her.” You took the piece of clothing from her and wrapped it around yourself.
“Fantastic! Now, come on before I freeze to death.” Cassandra said with a small cackle. You raised your eyebrow but didn’t question her. When you arrived at the Castle doors, Cassandra turned to you. “Do not speak unless she speaks to you.” You nodded your head before Cassandra opened the door up, ushering you and her sister inside from the cold.
“Wow, it’s beautiful in here.” You said softly as you followed the sisters up the foyer stairs. “And the both of you work here?” You asked. The Castle seemed a bit familiar to you, but you knew that you had never stepped foot in it before, let alone Romania until the other day.
“Well, well, what do we have here?” A voice called out from across the room. You turned your head to see a very tall woman clad in a white dress walking over to the three of you. “Bela, Cassandra, you were out well past the time you were supposed to be. Explain.”
Cassandra cleared her throat. “Apologies. I couldn’t figure out what to get Daniela. And Bela picked up a foreigner from the village who wanted to see the castle, Mother.” Your eyes widened a bit at her last word.
You turned to Bela. “Mo- Mother? But you said you wo-“ You were cut off by the Lady of the castle.
“Silence, little one.” Lady Dimitrescu said. “Girls, go show your sister what you got her while I clean our guest up.” The two sisters nodded their heads at their Mother’s request before flying away. Wait, flying away? You shuddered a bit which caused an amusing smile to grace the Lady’s face. “Oh, don’t worry, little one, I’ll take good care of you.”
You allowed her to lead you upstairs to what you assumed to be her chambers. The furniture in the room was huge but compared to her it looked perfectly normal compared to a woman of her height.
“Lady Dimitrescu?” You asked. She hummed. “What’s going on?”
The Lady chuckled softly. “I am preparing you to join us for dinner tonight. I have someone who will be pleased to see you… again.” You didn’t catch the last word she said as it was muttered. “Now, go wash up, draga mea, we mustn’t keep my daughters waiting.” She said as she gestured toward the bathroom.
You washed up as quickly as you could, making sure our face was clean and your hair looked nice. When you emerged from the bedroom, you found the Lady sitting on the bed next to some clothes.
“Put this on and then we will head back downstairs.” She said, gesturing to the clothes on her right side. You took the clothes back to the bathroom and changed into them. “You look marvellous. Come now., let us go eat.” Lady Dimitrescu said as she headed for the door.
You followed behind her until the two of you entered the dining room where you saw Bela and Cassandra sitting with a redhead that you assumed was Daniela.
“Daniela, this is our guest for the night, Y/N. I’m sure your sisters have told you of their arrival to the village.” Lady Dimitrescu said before gesturing for you to sit down. The redhead, Daniela, had yet to look up at you or even acknowledge your presence and you could see the Lady’s face crease into a frown as she sat down. “Daniela, acknowledge our guest, please.”
You heard Daniela sigh until she looked up at you and gasped. “You.” She whispered. She stood up from her chair and made her way over to you. “You came back.”
You frowned. “I’ve, um, I’ve never been here before.” You replied before taking glances at the Lady and her two other daughters. “I think you all have me mistaken for someone else.” The sense of familiarity from the Castle was still heavy on you and you felt like maybe you had been there before.
Tears welled up in Daniela’s eyes as she turned to face her Mother. “Mother, they don’t remember me? Us?” She asked.
Lady Dimitrescu gave her daughter a sad smile. “You have to help them remember, dear.”
Daniela nodded her head before turning to face you. She pointed at your hand. “May I?” You hesitated a bit, but nodded, giving her permission. When she took your hand in hers, you felt a tiny spark.
“Dani?” You whispered. “You’re my Daniela.” You looked up at her with a smile on your face, one that she reciprocated. “I… there was… I couldn’t… how?” You settled on a question.
“It’s a bit of a long story, and I’m more than happy to share it,” Daniela said. “But right now, I’m just happy you’re back. I missed you.” She whispered as she cupped your cheek. She leaned in to kiss you and you met her halfway. The kiss causing a flood of memories to come back to you about your past time at the Castle and with Daniela.
“I missed you too.” You replied when the two of you broke the kiss. You almost forgot about the company that was still in the room until someone cleared their throat causing you to flush. “Oh, I’m sorry, My Lady.” You said sheepishly.
The Lady gave you a dazzling smile. “It’s quite alright, dear. I’m just glad you remember our dear Dani and how much the two of you meant to each other.”
You flushed even more. “Well, I’d be a fool to forget her again.” You said before pressing a kiss to Daniela’s forehead. “I’ll always come back to you, love.”

What were Bela's Cass' and Dani's previous relationships like? You've mentioned how Bela's are pretty abusive towards her in regards to her sexuality, but what about Dani and Cass?
Cassandra's relationships (if you can call them that) were all very much based off fucking, to put it bluntly, usually people looking for rough fun since Cass was seen as kind of unhinged. There were few that she had actual long standing relationships with, and even they were pretty open and mainly physical. Anyone who got with Cass was most likely doing it just to proudly say they survived a night with Cassandra Dimitrescu. She's been with both women and men and nothing ever really changed for her, so she just owned her label and started hitting on people instead. It also kind of made her feel wanted in a weird way. Not loved, but it felt kind of nice just to have people want her. And Cass was totally fine with this for a long time but it gets kind of boring when you've been doing that kind of thing since the 1967 (give or take).
Daniela has a bit of a problem with body language, so she always kind of had a hard time telling when somebody liked her. Some of the things she views as "relationships" were really her misinterpreting signals. She's had more than one maid blow up at her because she wouldn't leave them alone after she misunderstood their kindness for affection (obviously, they were killed after Alcina found out, because Daniela sobbed about it). One relationship that she thinks about is her brief time dating a man who used his status as her boyfriend as a way to rummage around the castle. He was a fairly nice man, but he turned out to just be a petty thief. She still insists that he loved her, nobody fights her about it. She's had some actual good relationships with men and maidens that just didn't work out for one reason or another (or, y'know, they eventually died). But no one has ever been so doting and thoughtful as Max, and Dani swears the two of them are soulmates.
Bela's... never had a good relationship in her life. It wasn't just her sexuality, she got berated for her appearance and her birth gender in past relationships as well. The one that always sticks in the back of her mind is that one maid she was with decades ago, probably her first official relationship, back when she still presented as a man. She came out to that one maid, before the rest of her family, telling them she didn't feel like a boy, and they seemed so disgusted with her and went on a long tangent about she couldn't just "become a woman because [she] feel[s] like it". And sometimes that memory just bubbles up in the back of Bela's mind and makes her feel incredibly dysphoric.
