Happy holidays! Do you have any zagreus interacting with other gods? Thanks so much

a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Other people are learning about Zagreus.

Not that they know it's him, of course. He goes by the moniker prince.

Just enough to direct prayers and pay tributes, but a nameless god standing against Demeter? It's enough to send the whole pantheon in an uproar.

It's enough to send Demeter to heights of rage that Artemis previously thought her incapable of reaching.

There are gardens that her frost can't touch. Fruit she she has no hand in growing.

There are people who will not submit and die as she wishes it, blaming mortals for her daughter's death and so making them pay the price for a lost goddess.

Not even Zeus has rained destruction upon the mortals like Demeter had and not even Zeus can stop her.

It's too much. Too much taken, too much suffering.

Persephone was a sweet girl. But her loss is not worth the life of every mortal upon the earth.

Artemis is with Aphrodite, both of them having been evoked powerfully enough to send shivers down their spine. She leans against her spear and tried to think of any other way to fix this.

It's a town on the edge of collapse, a thick forest between them and the rest of civilization. In spring the journey is long but easy enough, but it hasn't been spring for a long time.

There's no game to hunt. Loved ones are dying. They beg and beg to any god that will listen but while every god can hear them no god can save them.

None but one.

But how would they know? This far out, there only contact is other isolated villages too deep in the world.

"I'm tired," Aphrodite whispers, knees pulled to her chest, something about her coltish in her helplessness.

Artemis has never tried this. She doesn't even know if it will work. But he won't ever find his way here on his own. "Can you keep a secret, Aphrodite?"

She shifts her head enough to look at her with a single garnet eye. "What secret do you have, sister mine?"

"Aphrodite," she says warningly.

She huffs, amusement aging her. "Yes, yes, my silence or my life. What is it?"

Artemis hopes she doesn't regret this. She hopes it works. "Prince Zagreus!"

"What's Zag going to do?" Aphrodite blinks. "He can't even-"

She cuts herself off and Artemis knows she's thinking through the first part, coming to the obvious conclusion and rejecting it out of hand.

"Artemis?"

They both turn and Zagreus is standing there. Not as image or projection like he was the last time they met face to face, but solidly beside her in the flesh.

He grimaces in pain and raises a hand to his side before straightening and forcing his arm down. Whatever it is that keeps him in his father's realm still has some hold on him, it seems.

"I'm kind of in the middle of something," he says. There's blood on his teeth. There wasn't any a couple seconds ago. "Oh, hi Aphrodite. Er. Please don't tell anyone."

"It's you?" Aphrodite demands. "You?"

"I am me," he agrees.

Artemis would beat him if they had the time for it. "Can you help them? This village will die. Word of you hasn't reached them and your temples are too far to travel too even if they had."

He grins it's all red. His blood drips down his chin. "It's not going to be pretty."

Artemis has never thought about how exactly the god of life and blood spreads his blessings. She thinks she's regretting that now.

"Pretty's my domain anyway," Aphrodite snaps. "Help them."

Zagreus moves too quickly for Artemis to stop. He grabs her spear and slices down his chest and then there's blood everywhere, pouring out of him, more than should be in any one body.

Aphrodite screams and Artemis wrenches the spear away, horrified. "This is celestial silver! You can't - even gods can't heal from it!"

"Death heals all wounds," he says and there's blood down his chin, spilling out his mouth with his every breath.

Then he's running.

They talk off after him and it's easy to follow his trail, the deluge blood and smell of copper filling her nose as they chase him.

Zagreus is mad. When she wasn't looking he went insane and now she's killed him.

They have to slow him down, have to get him to Hermes. It should be easy, they're goddesses and he's dying, but he stays fast enough to stay just out of their grasps.

He's lose a body's worth of blood a dozen times over and yet still more flows.

He finally trips and falls, giving gurgling breathes.

"Zagreus!" she shouts as she and Aphrodite fall into the snow beside him. "Zagreus, hold on, it's going to be okay."

He laughs and pats her cheek. He's too pale. "Relax. I die all the time."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Aphrodite demands, trying to put her hands over the wound but it's too long to stem.

Zagreus doesn't answer.

His body goes slack and it takes Artemis several seconds to realize the person screaming is her.

Aphrodite is sitting there shell shocked and bewildered and then Zagreus's body sinks into the earth, not even reacting to Artemis's attempts to hold on.

"Oh."

She looks up and Aphrodite is looking behind them. Artemis slowly follows her gaze.

Every place blood touched the ground, there now grows bushes of bright purple berries, more vibrant than any fruit she's seen grow that shade. They grow thick and fat on every branch and if there anything like the other food in Prince's gardens, it will keep them alive and they'll be able to grow more themselves.

If they're willing to sacrifice the blood.

The next time Artemis sees Zagreus, she's going to kill him.

can I get a part two of the water god also do you watch or do the amazing digital circus or murder drones

((Here's part 2 of Yandere! Greek God x Mortal! Darking! And to answer your question, I have seen the amazing digital circus! I do not about murder drones, though. Is it interesting?))

The fates.

It was decided long ago that Ketos was to take a mortal woman as his wife. He was furious at first.

He raged at sea for several days and nights, protesting the fates' decision. It was futile, though. Once something was decided, it was woven into the fabric of one's destiny, permanently bonded together. There was nothing one could do except to accept it.

Ketos couldn't do anything besides his fate. He did contemplate killing every mortal woman by flooding the lands, but it would have been foolish to do so. He didn't want to face the ire of Zeus, who would no doubt come down to smite him if any of his mortal or potential mortal lovers were harmed or killed.

It wasn't until the fates came down and told him the name of his future mortal wife. Things changed when out of his arrogant curiosity, he decided to leave his realm to seek her out. He wanted to see for himself if she was worthy enough to be his wife.

And once he saw her, he did not expect to fall as hard as he did.

She was beautiful, not as beautiful as Aphrodite, but beautiful enough to be his wife. Things he had not imagined before, back when he abhorred the thought of a mortal being his betrothed, hit him and carried him away like the waves crashing against the earth.

He obsessed over her. Watching her from the sea everytime she took a walk along the sandy shore, taking on human forms to stalk her from afar, and even engaging in conversation with her in disguise just to hear what her voice sounds like among other things.

He had completely fallen for her. He decided the next time he saw her, he would come to her as himself and try to court her.

And well, their first meeting did not go as he had planned.

He had thought she would marvel at his magnificence. He was a God, for Zeus's sake! But she looked at him in fear. Distress plagued her beautiful features and he had no clue why. Surely, there was no reason why she would refuse a God like him, was there?

And so began an unique song and dance where he would try to court her, give her gifts, talk to her, all for it to be for naught! She refuses again and again.

And Ketos was starting to become angry...

How dare she refuse his love? She was his! The fates had already confirmed it! Her destiny lies and ends with him!

He grew increasingly impatient until it came bubbling up one day and he snapped.

He was already in a terrible mood after facing so many of her rejections. He saw her dreadful look and grew tired of her pleas as she refused yet again. But this time, he was going to have her one way or another.

He lashed out, making the calm waves rage and the clouds above heavy and gray.

He threatened her with the lives of her family, along with all the other villagers she lived and grew up with. He didn't care about any of them! If it took killing everyone around her for her to be his, he would gladly do it. Even if she died in the process, all he would have to do is go to Hades and pluck her soul out of the Underworld so that she can finally be with him. And if he couldn't, he was a God. He had all the time in the world to wait for you to reincarnate and take you as his wife then.

Luckily, he didn't need to go that far. Though reluctant, she finally agreed to come to him! He was ecstatic. She took his hand and he praised her for choosing him. It didn't matter if she wasn't happy at first. He'll make her see the positive sides to being his betrothed. All his thoughts reverted back to all the things he wanted to do with her...

He would love and cherish her as they will soon be husband and wife.

He was so happy to have her, his lovely wife.

((I think I may do a part 3 that's more of a look into their married life. Hope you enjoyed this one though!))

Hello can I request a yandere indra + madara, obito, sasuke, itachi and shisui x goddess reader. The reader is a goddess of serenity, beauty, strength and healing. Thank you very much.

I just love how the Uchiha blood line has just the whole Naruto fandom in a chokehold. I have never not met a person who wasn’t at least down bad for one of them.

@shumidehiro @swagenemyartisan

Tw: Yandere themes, toxic relationship, possessive behavior, obsession, stalking, clinginess, delusional thoughts, threats, manipulation, paranoia, death

Goddess s/o

Indra Otsutsuki

💜Indra is one of the last people you will see bowing down to anyone after he has abandoned his father and brother. Instead he is the one who expects people to bow down to him as he is essentially a god with the powers he has obtained after having killed his two close friends in exchange for more power. It is that very arrogance that keeps him from even bowing his head to you. It is almost ironic how he has cursed his father for claiming that love would be the greatest power yet finds himself going through a similar experience when he is face to face with you for the first time. There is an ethereal glow around your body that sets you apart from the mortal humans, that sets you apart from him as he stares at you. Even after you fade away from his vision, his gaze remains fixated on the spot where you just were a few seconds ago. His mind is spinning, drowning in the images of the short glimpses he was able to catch of you. He wants to see you again. In your otherworldly presence he has finally felt something he hasn’t felt ever since he left his village and has been plagued by restlessness. He feels peace.

💜He doesn’t plan to join your group of worshippers but he sticks around them and the shrine they have created in hopes of catching a glimpse of you again. As enchanted as Indra may be, there is a volcano of twisted emotions that is just brooding inside of him. Your status as a goddess disturbs him and that disturbance has been inside of him ever since he has been humbled and humiliated by Ashura in the fight that tore all bonds he had previously held. Deep down he fears a repeat of this experience, of another loss of his, if he were to ever try to force you to join his side. He feels an overwhelming need to dominate you, to stand above you and force you via that into submission. He needs the reassurance of holding control as he would otherwise be too paranoid about you eventually beating him just like Ashura. Yet you two live in different worlds as you only rarely visit the realm of humans and it fills him with a poison called helplessness that he despises. His mind spirals into violent insanity as he will gladly burn down all of your followers and even your own shrine if you will answer the call of his obsession.

Madara Uchiha

🌑Madara has never prayed to anyone before. He has trained to stand as the head of his clan and he has achieved it all with his own strength and willpower. Yet his interest is immediately captured when he actually finds a real goddess that personifies strength and beauty. In a way he is almost instantly enraptured but don’t expect him to go down on both knees for you as Madara has never shown submission to anyone. Even your status as a goddess won’t force him to throw away his pride. Your ancient position as a goddess is still enough to earn you his respect, especially if he sees your powers in action. You carry yourself with a wisdom and elegance he would expect from someone who has existed for millennia as you have and you possess such beauty and serene composure that any mortal woman pales in comparison to you in every category. Ever since the day he has seen you, he hasn’t been able to give his attention nor interest to any women the clan has offered him as a potential bride. None of them could come even close to you so he ruthlessly rejects them all. He has only one woman in his heart he wants as a bride. You.

🌑Even if he may be blasphemous for yearning to claim a goddess as his possession, Madara doesn’t care. He has set his sights on you and nothing can stop him now. He’s persistent and stubborn, determined to marry you. Unfortunately you aren’t that easy to detect as you reside in a realm where humans can’t follow so he instead tracks down your followers and your shrine. Perhaps your subjects can be of use to help him to see you again. Now, Madara will be man enough to ask you for your hand in marriage when he sees you again and he isn’t opposed if you would play a bit hard to get so he can prove himself to you. If your opinion would stand firm that you don’t want to marry him though, things will look not pretty. In the traditional Uchiha fashion Madara’s feelings burn brighter than the sun and nothing can extinguish the fire in his heart. Once he has decided that only you will do for him, he will do everything in his strength to have you. He knows that he is potentially picking a fight with a goddess but he doesn’t fear the risk of such a battle. If he must fight against you to force you to stay by his side, so be it.

Obito Uchiha

🔥Ever since Rin’s death, ever since his innocence has been shattered, Obito has been living in hell. Life on earth has become synonymous with suffering and evil for him as his heart hasn’t known peace and joy since years. That’s when you two cross paths as he finds your abandoned shrine within the woods. As soon as he lays his eye on you, it’s like his crippled heart is healing as he feels serenity and calmness wrapping itself around him like a warm blanket. All caution and hostility melts away as the Uchiha can only stare at you in dreamy awe as you look at him with such dazzling eyes. The moment you disappear, it feels like a hole has opened in his heart that is aching. His gaze lands on the dirty and old shrine and suddenly there is a rage filling Obito as he realizes that the followers who used to care for your house on earth have abandoned it and have abandoned you by doing so. You poor thing. How must it feel for a goddess to be slowly forgotten? He starts tending to the shrine from that day on as he cleans it from the moss and visits it daily. He knows that you’re watching him whenever he feels his heartbeat calming down.

🔥He feels like the shrine is the place where only the two of you exist as your aura lulls him into a peacefulness he didn’t know that he could feel. Obito actually starts praying to you and he feels empowered whenever he does so as he likes to imagine that you bless him with the strength he needs to change this world. Soon he finds himself becoming addicted to your presence that fills him with such bliss and starts feeling stressed out when he can’t sense you. He likes to delude himself into thinking that both of you have suffered from the ignorance of the humans around you and that soon leads him to the conclusion that only you could ever understand him and he could only ever understand you. Whenever you show yourself to him, he’s talking like you are a frightened baby deer as he promises you revenge for the people who abandoned and forgot you and that he will never do as your former followers did. He will never allow anyone else to intrude in his little paradise where only him and you exist and longs for the day when you will finally allow him to show you the loyalty and love he feels for you.

Shisui Uchiha

🍂Religion can truly become a terrifying thing when it is used to oppress people. It is your cult that falls victim to Shisui on a mission as he is sent to the village they have temporarily settled down to enforce the laws of their own beliefs there. It is in the very temple they have been building by using the villagers as workers that Shisui has his first encounter with you. You have a heavy aura around you as you stare at him, as dignified and proud as a goddess standing for strength is meant to be even if your facial expression is a mellow one. Then there is Shisui, standing in the half-finished shrine of yours with the corpses of your followers lying around his feet. There is a thick silence where Shisui is silently preparing himself to be attacked by you yet he only receives a nod from you that almost looks like a sign of gratitude before you vanish. No one else has seen you yet he’s convinced that it wasn’t an illusion. Too troubled to leave the village without getting his confirmation that you were real, he steals necklace from one of your followers which is meant to help your followers to stay in contact with you.

🍂Visions and glimpses as fleeting as a shooting star haunt him from that day on and if anyone else but Shisui would have stolen the artifact, they would have probably lost their mind already. He knows exactly that he can’t tell anyone about your existence as they wouldn’t believe him and label him as a lunatic in the worst case. It’s like you are constantly observing him. Your presence is like a warm gentle rain that engulfs him constantly and the occasional brush of your hands against his skin a delicate sensation that has his whole body tingling. Until eventually Shisui finds his eyes constantly searching for you, an almost queasy feeling in his stomach when he can neither see nor sense you. You have given him your blessing and your protection after he has cleared your name of the traitors who have been abusing your image for such crude actions. Shisui wonders if you already know that his own strong feelings you have admired upon first meeting him have already been twisted because of you. He secretly builds you a small shrine where he also hides the necklace, well aware that they will tie you one way or another to his village.

Itachi Uchiha

🍡Itachi, despite his normally cold facade, is deep down also a deeply troubled person who is drowning in the sorrow of what he had to do to his own clan and family. Around you the silent ache gets soothed, even if it’ll never fully disappear. From the Uchiha clan Itachi is most likely one of the calmer ones and the one who will actually put the respect on you that you deserve without overwhelming you. He has enough on his mind already after all but he at times feels a tad bit honored that you decided to show yourself to him out of curiosity when you saw him passing through the forest with your shrine. Your presence is quite enjoyable and that isn’t only because you are a goddess of serenity and beauty but also because you could almost be mistaken as a normal human if it wouldn’t be for the halo around you. You don’t act like what he would have expected from a goddess of your caliber but instead you are curious, humble and get childishly excited when he brings you food because you normally don’t get such stuff in the realm where you live. Your curiosity about the most mundane stuff is sometimes downright amusing.

🍡As an Akatsuki member, Itachi is already put under a lot of isolation. He only has Kisame as a work partner and now there is also you with whom he can spend time with. Itachi really appreciates this. The fact that you have an entire cult at your disposal yet you only really show yourself to him flatters him more and more as time passes on. Even if he can’t see you, he can certainly sense you and even that is enough for him. It is quite ambiguous coming from him but despite the crimes that he has committed, Itachi has still morals. He got too comfortable with you, has allowed himself to delve too deep into those emotions and now he has no way out anymore. You two are so different. You are a celestial being that is essentially immortal and he is only human. He’s probably only going to be a fleeting moment in your life but his emotions has long left his control and act unreasonable. Despite applying all logic to his case, his own emotions don’t want to listen to him as they long to be with you. His determination to die at the hands of his brother waver greatly the longer he spends time with you, a gravity pulling him towards you.

Sasuke Uchiha

💙If Sasuke becomes fixated on a person, he is ready to go to great lengths and throw everything and everyone around him away to reach his goal. It applies to his desire for revenge as well as the intense obsession he develops that is centered around you. He has never believed in any celestial existence as the extermination of his entire clan has taught him that there is no such thing as a god protecting the people in his land. But your existence proves him otherwise. Even amidst his obsession, there is this burning bitterness and rage he holds against you though. Where has been your protection when his entire clan was eradicated? Why didn’t you do anything? There is pain even amongst his anger as he lashes out on you and blames you. He doesn’t care about the fact that you are a literal goddess. Your powers can’t be good for anything after all if you just allow the people in the Leaf Village to commit such a genocide. He wants answers, demands them, just to understand why it had to be his clan that had to suffer so much yet you can’t give him those answers. Instead there is a pitiful look on your face that almost drives him mad.

💙He hates how your mere presence always manages to drain all negative energy from him as he feels like his own emotions are controlled when he is around you yet it has never stopped him from approaching you. The grudge he holds against you and others of your kind for doing absolutely nothing to prevent the death of so many people. You probably think that you’re better just because you are a goddess, don’t you? Despite this, his anger almost seems to fuel his obsession with you. Sasuke yearns to have you, to be in possession of you and he is also steered by a desire to be in control of you. You are used to everyone being beneath you and as if to punish you for your ignorance about his own clan’s tragic fate, Sasuke wants to show you what it feels like to struggle and to experience helplessness. He doesn’t know just yet if he can beat you in a fight and he is wise enough to not underestimate you but he swears to you that one day he will gain enough power to keep you permanently by his side and to teach you not to pity him. And he’s getting stronger and stronger with each passing day…

Hi I was wondering if you could make a part 2 worth the dateables for the “in another universe” fic. I just read it and it was amazing and now im crying 😭.

in another universe...

includes : the dateables (diavolo, barbatos, simeon, solomon). part one here.

summary : what could have been, in a better universe.

warnings : gn! reader. angsty angst. death & mortality (solomon). prob a little ooc but shhhh. italics indicate the 'other universe.'

꒰ ✿ ꒱ ─── Diavolo

...you weren't the prince of the devildom.

It was another day filled with princely duties, and another day you find yourself all alone. It was painfully empty in the large bed, and you knew you couldn't do a thing to fix it. Instead you close yours eyes and wish you could have woken up in his arms.

In a perfect world, you'd wake up in the arms of your beloved. Not Prince Diavolo, just Diavolo. You'd wake up to the feeling of kisses peppered against your face, and giggles would fill the room as you try to push him away but he won't relent. "G'morning my love," he whispers between kisses, "We gotta get up~"

"Noo," you whine, and he chuckles, pulling away to look at your cute scrunched up face. "Let's just call in sick and stay in bed allllll day." You peak an eye open to see Dia, who grins.

"Sounds like a perfect idea." And thus the day was spent burning making food, watching shitty tv drama, and cuddling- and of course kissing too.

But when you open your eyes, the coolness creeps in, and the emptiness of the room is unsettling. A knock on the door alerts you of Barbatos' presences, and he speaks from the other side of the door.

"Are you awake?... Lord Diavolo asks me to send his regards, he has another day ruling over the Devildom, and wants to let you know to not expect him until late." Pulling the sheets over your face, you decide to indulge in your fantasy world a little longer before facing the harsh reality.

꒰ ✿ ꒱ ─── Barbatos

...i came first.

It's not that you didn't understand, no you knew perfectly well that Barbatos' job was very important and required him to be away from you for long periods of time. What you didn't understand was that he refused, almost too eagerly, a day off. Diavolo noticed he'd been working him too hard and offered a little vacation. You thought he'd take it, so he could spend what little time granted he could with you, but instead...

"I was thinking we could head to the human realm, and have a nice date there."

"Oh yeah?" You coo, leaning closer to him and grinning. "And what should we do there?" He hums, deep in thought. A nice restaurant, perhaps dancing involved, walking around a fairy-light lit park, being in each others arms. Yes, that sounded nice, and thus he informed of you such thoughts. "That does sound nice, it's a date then." You press a kiss to the corner of his lip- tease. He's quick to correct your mistake, placing a proper kiss to your lips.

"You... You rejected the offer?" Barbatos undoes the buttons of his shirt, glancing over his shoulder at you with a slight frown.

"Obviously. As much as I'd like to trust him..." He tsks and shake his head, pushing away the thought. "Nevermind. Shall we turn in for the night?" He slips into more comfortable clothing, giving you that cool, unwavering smile. Ah, you don't know how much more you can put up with this...

꒰ ✿ ꒱ ─── Simeon

...you stayed the night.

"Goodnight." Simeon spoke in a soft, quiet voice, his smile kind. It makes your heart do somersaults. You bid him a goodnight as well, and as he goes to turn, you hesitantly catch his wrist.

"You know... You could stay the night... If you wanted." His eyes widen. Stay the night? Something inside him shifts, his eyes filling with what seems to be pity.

"I'm sorry... I can't..." He speaks, gently removing your hand off his wrist and giving you a weak smile. "Goodnight." And then he leaves, not a single glance back. Did you just ruin your friendship with five words? You just wanted him to stay a little longer, just be near you for a while more...

"Stay the night?" You nod, fiddling with your shirt. "Well... I suppose that would be okay." Your eyes widen in delight. Really? He'd stay? He chuckles at your obvious enthusiasm and allows you to drag him back into your room where you set up a spot for you to sleep on the ground.

Simeon shakes his head at this. "I'll take the floor." After a little arguing, you both end up on the bed, both too jittery with excitement of staying near your crush to properly sleep. As you try to close your eyes, try to calm your mind, however, you feel a pinkie brush against yours- and feeling a little bolder, you move your hand even closer. Eventually, your hand in Simeons, and his in yours, you both with small, dorky smiles as sleep comes for you both.

Tomorrow will likely involve a long talk.

꒰ ✿ ꒱ ─── Solomon

...we could grow old together.

"You're going to be the cutest grumpy old man." It was an offhand comment, something you didn't really think about, you were just teasing him... But then the mood in the air shift, and it got real quiet, and you were suddenly reminded that you wouldn't be growing old with him.

"Shit... Sorry." You, but Solomon waves his hand dismissively, forcing a smile as he claims it's no big deal. It is, though, it's an incredibly big deal. Not only feeling the despair of it, but Solomon too- if he could, he'd most definitely choose mortality with you than whatever he's got going on now.

Sitting in your own separate rocking chairs, holding hands. You reading a book while Solomon nags about 'children theses days' or something or another. Getting up and then having to help him because his knees are what they used to be. Listening to a song considered old, dancing close to each other and remembering all your beautiful memories together. Eventually dying together.

Ah... But none of that will happen. He'll eventually watch you pass away, and he'll try desperately to hold on to your memory but when your face fades away from his mind who will he become? Solomon gingerly holds back tears that sting his eyes. Damn his immortality, damn it all. He truly wishes he could give it all up for a lifetime with you- it'd truly be worth it.

The God of Song's

Second Ascension

Xie Lian x M!Reader x Hua Cheng

Alright listen y'all. I'm adding a previous part to my first glance series. BECAUSE I really want my timeline to follow the novel's timeline and most of the lines follow the novel as well. I want the story to focus on my OC so obviously it'll be his pov. Be patient with me y'all 😭

The whole point of the part is just to give Y/n some depth? To explain partially my OC's background and abilities. Like I had to put some foundation for the ready bro.

Dúshé means poison laced tongue

Mûguô means bitch or whore

Míngqín means song bird

if you see the name Mei Li, just read it as Y/n I tried replacing them all but I'm blind

_____________________________________________

Y/n is a rarity. An unnatural beauty with white hair. A being who uses his siren like vocals and imitation against others. A majority of heaven officials are wary of him and are diligent on keeping their distance. The reason being, he dips between both realms.

Y/n is a ghost, who ascended and became a god. That's why most people don't like him. He's strange and shouldn't possibly exist. A ghost who became a god? That's an anomaly. What could be worse than that? An anomaly that has power.

He's a god of the upper court and yet he doesn't have his own palace. He rejected it choosing to make his own domain in the mortal realm. Just like a ghost would. His reason being? It's closer to Xie Lian. Y/n having so much power as a god and a ghost, with the ability to wipe out a nation leaves the other officials anxious. They'd prefer if he was banished from the Heavens. Which he was. Even then 6,000 temples stayed up in his favor.

They have many names for him: Y/n, God of Song, dúshé, general, and even the name mûguô was passed around for a while. Only Xie Lian uses the nickname, míngqín.

He used to be a general for XianLe and an imperial guard for Xie Lian. They grew up together, along with Feng Xin and eventually Mu Qing. But everyone knows the stories. Mu Qing stopped following Xie Lian after his banishment and never spoke a good word of him again.

Feng Xin and Y/n however stayed loyal. They grew up together, and were banished together. And yet Feng Xin and Y/n grew apart. Feng Xin and Xie Lian grew apart. Leaving y/n with Xie Lian alone. A banished ghost and a banished prince.

So their wishes came true, but not forever. When the bell in the Heavens starts to toll and shake everyone is expecting to see a newcomer. They must be powerful with how hard the bell rings, surely?

The official's hopes were diminished when they saw the familiar silhouette of Y/n and Xie Lian. He ascended a second time!? And Xie Lian he...he...he fucking ascended a third time?!

Y/n looks much different his face hides behind a veil now. Only his striking blue eyes can be seen. He stands by Xie Lian's side as the other officials whisper. None of them notice the bell fall... Or as someone's golden palace gets ruined.

**********************************************************

Y/n stands next to Xie Lian while Ling Wen talks about his highness getting first place, for once. Of course for nothing good. Something about banishment but at least Xie Lian got 100 merits for it.

Y/n gets lost in thought and starts paying attention to his two birds, Wèizhī. It's supposed to be one, conjoined name but the twin birds liked the name for both of them. Yes Y/n has birds. While other gods have families as swords, or ghosts have butterflies. Y/n has his birds. They're Oriental Magpies and they represent Y/n perfectly. Both of them imitate others, and both of them sing.

Y/n's attention is brought back when Ling Wen points at a 'bell'. He looks over to the civil god with an arched brow. "Ling Wen I know you're tired but there's no bell up there", he says with a shrug

"There was a bell there. When general Li and his highness ascended you both caused quite the turmoil. Causing the bell to fall on a passing by heavenly official" she explains.

She points in another direction, "Do you see that golden palace?" Xie Lian smiles, "Ah yes I can."

"It was put up to replace an official's golden palace that was damaged from your ascension" and Xie Lian's smile falls into a nervous one.

"So we've offended many officials from the moment we arrived?" Xie Lian confirms

"If you can make amends maybe not"Ling Wen

Y/n places a hand on his hip and cocks it to the side, "How do we make amends then?"

"Easy, just pay eight million eight hundred eight thousand merits" Ling Wen adds, "Of course I know you both don't have a tenth of that amount."

Y/n gawks behind his veil. He groans and Xie Lian grins. ,"Please allow us to think about what we should do" he heaves a long sigh.

The two of them walk to the side and Mei Li watches Xie Lian crouch down in distraught. " A-Lian I can pay for it, half of it was my fault after all" you frown patting his head.

"Ah no that's not necessary, I'll find a way. So please don't waste your merits on me, míngqín." Míngqín, a nickname Xie Lian made for you long ago. You love it. Yes you are a songbird, and you're his songbird.

Y/n glances away, he'll pay for it when he gets the chance. Right now he'll stay by Xie Lian's side. "Oh we should probably find the array for the upper court. I don't have the password anymore." Xie Lian brings his fingers to his temple and Y/n does the same.

They search through multiple arrays, some even bet on how long they'll stay this time. When they finally find it someone whispers, "So his highness and his general are back?"

Xie Lian brightens when they finally find the array he's looking for, "Yes I'm back!" Y/n cocks his hip and doesn't answer.

The heavenly official chuckles languidly, "his highness and general /n caused a tremendous force this time, yes?"

Xie Lian rubs the back of his neck, "Ah well it wasn't so bad." Y/n crosses his arms.

Another official cuts in, "It wasn't so bad for his highness, but my luck isn't as good" While Xie Lian looks very sorry, Y/n doesn't.

It seems Xie Lian doesn't know who they're talking to but Y/n knows it's Mu Qing. He cocks his hip and Xie Lian thinks to himself, that one day Y/n might pop his hip out if he keeps up. "This one heard that General Xuan Zhen flicked it and the bell split in half though? Surely it didn't cause the great general much pain?" Y/n hums in fake sympathy and checks his nails.

They're interrupted by another official. Y/n sighs at this.

"Who the fuck knocked down my palace?! SHOW YOURSELF!" Y/n covers his ears as he recognizes Feng Xin.

Feng Xin and Mu Qing start bickering about something, Y/n looks over to Xie Lian. To see if he's doing okay with the familiar faces.

Xie Lian laughs nervously, "it was my fault I apologize, I didn't mean for it to get out of hand"

Mu Qing replies sarcastically, "Oh what a coincidence."

This upsets Y/n, he crosses his arms and sets a glare on Mu Qing. "Are you implying we did it on purpose as an act of revenge? General Xuan Zhen I thought you knew by now the world simply does not revolve around you. I think you want to be a victim." He spits. He refuses to sit here while Mu Qing slanders Xie Lian's name. Off to the side he can other people whisper dúshé.

Mu Qing scoffs, but Xie Lian cuts in, "I will try my best to compensate you, I apologize"

Y/n glares at Mu Qing's spot. The man glares back but he falls silent and invisible.

Xie Lian and Y/n leave the array afterwards.

Y/n frowns and plays with a piece of his long hair. "This one is sorry A-Lian, I just couldn't stay quiet"

Xie Lian waves a hand and smiles, "It's alright no need to apologize."

Ling Wen has invited Xie Lian and Y/n to the great hall so that's where they go. Y/n watches over Xie Lian's shoulder reading the scroll she gave them. Apparently they can earn merits if they solve this "ghost groom" issue.

Y/n hums, "We can do it A-Lian we've experienced worse"

Xie Lian nods, but looks back at Y/n nervously. "Yes but I also can't use any spiritual devices", "Then maybe it's better to get the help of some deputy generals?" Ling Wen adds.

"That's why I'm here, I'll gladly do the work for you-"

"But I don't want you to do all the work for me, I'll feel bad, so for my sake let's get help from some middle officials?" Xie Lian smiles nervously, of course he doesn't want to push Y/n. He does so much for Xie Lian already.

Y/n cocks his hip, and glances to the side "I suppose, but who will really come help?"

Xie Lian laughs, "Ah you're right. Ling Wen I'm afraid no one will willingly come to my aid"

She waves a hand though, "I'll get you some help don't worry". Then she goes into the array, and asks who could send two martial officials to help the emperor.

It probably would have worked too, if Mu Qing hadn't ruined it, "I heard the emperor isn't in the north at the moment. This help must be for his highness right?"

Ling Wen sighs, "You're always in the array these days General Xuan Zhen, congratulations you seem to have plenty of time."

"My hand is wounded, I'm currently nursing the injury." Mu Qing replies coyly

"Oh? You poor thing I didn't know it took a bell to take you out General" Y/n adds smugly.

They all leave the array once it's obvious no one is coming to help.

"It's alright A-Lian I don't mind doing it" Y/n hums softly running his hand over Xie Lian's arm.

"Yes, we're used to being alone so we'll leave it as is" he sighs.

"May heaven Officials give their blessings" Ling Wen says.

"No paths are bound!" Xie Lian replies and leaves in a dashing manner. Y/n follows him with a sigh. He has to make sure Xie Lian doesn't fall out of heaven.

The development of Elriel (so far)

This is my (rather long) breakdown of what I believe to be the timeline of their relationship so far. I don't believe they love each other at this point in the books, but I definitely think they're on that path, and this is how we got there:

ACOMAF

This is when they first meet, but there are no romantic feelings between them.

During this book, Elain is in love and engaged and Azriel is still very much in love with Mor. However, when they meet, it is clear that they feel comfortable around each other.

Feyre points out that she thinks Elain would cling to Azriel for peace and quiet if she came to Velaris. That gives us the image of them together but, again, there are no romantically coded interactions between them.

At the end of the book, Elain is turned and learns that her mate is Lucien.

ACOWAR

This is where things start to get interesting.

In this book, Elain is still in love with Graysen and Azriel is still in love with Mor, but we start to see a shift as they spend time together.

From Azriel's perspective, I think he finds it easy to be around her, and finds her presence comforting, which is why he takes her out to the garden not once, but twice. He takes notice of her when others are writing her off as crazy and discovers what, specifically, has been plaguing her since she was turned fae. Not even Nesta really made that effort.

Not to mention, she calls his scars beautiful, which is something he is deeply insecure about.

He grows to care for her, but not yet romantically, as evidenced by his continued feelings for Mor. He probably didn't consider it given his feelings, her struggles, her mating bond, and her engagement.

But then he was the first to think of her when something mysterious went through the war camp. He was the first to volunteer to get her out, and he didn't want to let her go even when he was injured.

I think the rescue is when he first starts to realize that he cares for Elain more than normal. In fact, he cared for her enough that when the final battle came, he gave her Truth-Teller, something he never let another person touch before. Not even Mor, the person he's loved for 500 years.

From Elain's perspective, she's never been lower. She's lost her whole future she was excited for, she lost her mortality, and now she's seeing things others can't and is doing her best to communicate it but people aren't understanding her.

Then, someone listens. Someone figures it out. The very person who had taken her out to the garden and was content to sit quietly with her. The very person who had made her feel comfortable the first time the big scary fae came into her home when she was still human.

He pulled her out of that murky realm because he listened to her. Because he saw her when even her mate couldn't.

Of course, Elain still held out hope that she could marry Graysen. She wasn't about to jump into a relationship with anyone else. She wasn't interested.

But then he rejected her and she was clearly upset about it. While she was wallowing in her tent, the Cauldron kidnaps her and takes her right into the middle of the enemy's camp, which must have been horrifically terrifying. When she was chained and gagged and waiting for her captors to decide what to do with her, her rescuers arrive, and the first face she saw was the very same one that rescued her from her own mind.

"You came for me."

After helping her twice, she is now not only comfortable around him, but trusts him completely. So when he offers her his knife, she takes it, trusting what he offers her more than Cassian.

Then, of course, she was actually able to use TT, but that doesn't really affect the development of their relationship, so I'm gonna ignore it for now.

ACOFAS

This is where it starts to pick up.

Coming into this book, we now know that Elain and Azriel care for each other, but it's too early for either of them to jump into a relationship.

Elain is still mourning her relationship with Graysen.

Azriel still clearly has some residual feelings for Mor. There are some longing glances at her, a blush on his cheeks when she gives him a shitty present. But it's important to note that this is the last time we see that from him. We never see it again after the headache powder.

The other moments between Elain and Az in this book are great. The potatoes, his approaching her to wish her a happy solstice, they show us that these two characters have some budding feelings for each other, but the headache powder is by far the most significant moment because it changes everything.

Not only did it make him laugh in a way that took Feyre completely by surprise, but after centuries of receiving the most half-assed, mediocre gifts from the woman he loved, someone came along (someone who he already had some feelings for) and gave him a personal gift. A gift to show that she saw him, that she cared for him.

And then the two of them stayed up to the middle of the night talking about gardening. Azriel engages with Elain's interests and is trying to see her the way she clearly saw him.

ACOSF

We get less time with the two of them in this book, but that makes sense given that Nesta needed space from her sisters to heal.

But this is the book where it's pointed out to us through Cassian's POV that Az no longer seemed interested in Mor.

We see Az and Elain share a shy smile across the dinner table.

We see Az following the sound of Elain's laughter and "something charged" between them.

We see Nesta understand why Az keeps a distance at Solstice and she gives us "his secret to tell never hers"

All of this is meant to show us that they have feelings for each other. I don't believe it is yet love, but there is something there. Their feelings for others no longer seem to be an issue, the issue now is the mating bond. Which leads me to...

The bonus chapter

This BC is the final confirmation of Elain and Azriel's feelings.

They exchange thoughtful gifts, they nearly share a kiss, and they clearly have a mutual sexual attraction as well.

I'm sorry but you cannot tell me it's only lust on Az's part because of the headache powder, the thing that he's kept next to his bed and started at for a year.

He's not the type of person to lose so much sleep over being horny. It's been made clear to us on numerous occasions that he has no problem getting laid.

He wouldn't be willing to fight and possibly kill someone just for sex, either.

In the same way that the Nessian bonus chapter showed us that the barrier for their relationship was Nesta herself, I believe Az's bonus chapter is meant to show us that his barrier for a relationship with Elain would be the mating bond.

And that's it, really! That's how I think Elriel has developed throughout the books. Their development hasn't been loud and in your face because that's not who they are as people. They are quiet and keep their feelings to themselves, and that's reflected in how their romance has started.

This is probably going to sound more like word vomit but I have a lot of thoughts on Grimm and the Radiance and I would love to get it on paper. The difference between the Nightmare King and the Radiance are night and day, and I find it fascinating that the one with control over NIGHTMARES is the one that's way more approachable and inviting than the main baddie who burns as hot as the sun. Maybe in seeing their differences too we can start to understand (though I doubt we'll ever get an answer) why the Nightmare Realm is now apart from the Dream one.

The difference is the willingness to come down to a Mortal's level.

Grimm has a mortal form. It's one that embodies the cycle of life and death. Burn the father, feed the child. I think however child is not a correct word for what Grimmchild is at first, but simulacrum. A vessel for the new Nightmare King. Much how we were supposed to be a vessel for the Radiance, Grimmchild is a vessel for the Nightmare Heart in a cycle of life and death that fuels it until the ritual fails one too many times and the final embers go out. Whether or not that's willingly is up for interpretation and there's a lot that can be played with here.

The Nightmare King is how he is in dream, with the Nightmare Heart being, well, his heart: his source of power, tucked away in a realm he allows only a select few in. But most won't see that. Only the ones chosen to aid the ritual get to see it. Most people just see a polite troupe master that, while a bit unsettling and creepy, puts on shows to wow crowd, bows before any opponent, and gives kindness to those helping him. He's the one that treats us with the most respect. He disarms our perception of a Nightmare King by coming down to a mortal's level, by being kind and approachable. It's through this method that he's been able to keep going for so long. While others reject him for his nature and for being, well, the Nightmare King, those who are kind and most likely outcasts themselves, are more than willing to help a fellow outcast.

He does show however his real power in dream, but by then you know damn well to expect it. You know this is where he thrives. This is him fueling the fire before you throw him upon it for the child you carry. He is still the Nightmare King, he burns hot and bright, almost untouchable, but he dims that fire in the real world. Instead of an inferno, he's a warm crackling fireplace.

Furthermore he's not an all powerful god, he's a scavenger. He takes the flames of an old dying kingdom and burns them for his ritual, allowing for something new to be reborn from the ashes. He cleans up the last of the mess and leaves a blank slate for the next kingdom that he will one day return to. It may seem as gross and invasive to some who rather peace for the dead, but to others, they're just glad it's gone and can move on in their lives to build something new.

The Radiance on the other hand, is a blinding, burning sun, that can never be touched without serious repercussions.

She doesn't have a mortal form, only appearing in dreams. As such, she requires people to worship her in order to keep her godly form. She needs people to remember her. We're not told too much about the Radiance before she began to infect everyone, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that her moths left her for a reason. The Pale King is a much softer, more gentle light, that encourages thought and free will. Who wouldn't want that, when your previous god is oppressive and intrusive to your own thoughts?

It's hard to forget something like that, even through the generations. Told in whispers around the campfire of the previous god, they unwittingly keep her on life support, enough that she could concoct her scheme of revenge.

She appears as a blinding, burning light in dreams, offering unity at the cost of free will and thought. It burns, it's hard to resist in dream. It smells so sickly sweet that you want to throw up, permeating the senses and blocking all else. Even Void beings that are heavily resistant to this light can give in with enough prodding. There's no sense of humanity or kindness in it. There's no turning it off once it's there.

It's also very clear that she would not have stopped, not until everything was hers in Hallownest, or perhaps even beyond. In her own terror of being forgotten, of facing death in every sense of the word, she clawed her way back violently, not at all caring for the mortals destroyed in her wake, not at all caring about the repercussions to her living jailer, or that she's taking away others autonomy for the sake of being remembered and worshipped like the old days.

She is blinding, intrusive, hot, and at a distance she's warm and radiant. Up close, it's too much for any mortal. It hurts too much to stare into her and become blind to all else. It hurts to try and hold her at bay.

The only thing that can get anywhere near her and swallow her up, is the very Void itself, and the Lord of Shades who controls it.

With all that being said, what we're left with is two very different gods who don't talk about each other. Whether it was because there was no good place to put it, or whether it was on purpose, this is what we got. So then, what happened to make Nightmare split from Dream?

There's three options here as to what caused the rift.

It was a mutual split between two sides that never liked each other or thought it better to not have it together. (Possible, but unlikely. We do not have enough information to know their previous relationship. Friends? Siblings? Lovers? Absolutely loathed each other from the start? No damn idea. They're just connected through Dream with two very different ways of doing things, and I doubt they approved of one another once those were set up.)

Grimm began a conflict leading to the split. (Also very unlikely, unless his personality was different back then and this humbled him into what we see now. Grimm does not pick fights unless they help his ritual, and the only other time he would fight is in self defense, most likely.)

The Radiance began a conflict leading to the split. (Most likely with what we know, unless her personality wasn't as controlling and overwhelming back then. We don't have enough information to be sure.)

In the end it's left to us to speculate, and there's a lot to play with here. It's just important to remember the distinct difference between the two.

TL;DR: Grimm is terrifying and powerful, a swirling inferno, but he dims himself down to be much more approachable and welcoming to mortals like a campfire would be. Radi is terrifying and powerful, but doesn't dim herself down at all, and is just a blinding, burning sun that will melt your face off if you look at it wrong.

#sanity shut up #hollow knight #the radiance #grimm #troupe master grimm #nightmare king grimm #headcanons #I think #analysis #kinda that too #idk I just wanted to get this out there #I love the concept of these two so much

ㅤSecrets I have held in my heart

The realization scared you. You had never felt it before, maybe you weren't even allowed to, but there was no escaping the nature of the feeling.

∴pairing: Jacaerys Velaryon x fem!reader

∴warnings and a note: slight angst, fluffy, jealousy happy endinh and heavy session of make out, also english is not my first language

Your rapprochement with Prince Jacaerys happened a few years ago, it was quick and almost instantaneous. He was kind, courteous, affectionate, and good-humoured, far more than you are in that last quality, as well as the future heir to the Iron Throne. Your friendship with him always filled the eyes of your parents with hope, after all it was not an impossible union to happen, mainly due to the importance and loyalty of your house to the cause of Rhaenyra Targaryen, the delight of the realm. However, what started out as an innocent friendship turned out to be something more for you over the years, culminating in your current situation. His gentle touches made your skin tingle and crave the permanence of touch. The sweet looks and open smiles filled your heart with warmth and joy. It felt wrong to harbor those kinds of feelings for your good friend, which confused you in the first place. It can't be, you thought. Not that he wasn't worthy of your love, but he was your Jace. Jace the golden boy who never went against his mother's word, who always walked safely in clean sheets.

The realization scared you. You had never felt it before, maybe you weren't even allowed to, but there was no escaping the nature of the feeling. You tried to push him away (unsuccessfully), you tried to mortally suppress in every thread, nail and drop of blood in your body the way your heart beat faster when you were next to him, but you couldn't. At the end of the day, in your fear and anguish you were in love with Jacaerys Velaryon. Sincerity was one of the pillars of your relationship, but the idea of telling him what you kept secret was too terrifying. You couldn't handle dealing with rejection, especially his.

But then tonight it happened. It was a day of celebration for the arrival of Lady Baela Targaryen in Dragonstone. The time has favored the moondancer rider and turned her into a beautiful and voluptuous lady. The eldest daughter of the rogue prince was not only beautiful, but intelligent, communicative and fearless. A perfect choice as a bride and lady wife. And it was at that moment that your heart skipped a beat. The way Jace smiled excitedly as he chatted with his cousin he hadn't seen in years, how he seemed almost entranced by the stunning woman in front of him, how the idea that she might be his new wife crossed your mind and overshadowed everything else. from the hall, keeping your focus solely on them before abruptly retreating from the main hall to the room where Aegon planned the Conquest with his sisters Rhaenys and Visenya. Your head was swimming and the air felt restricted in your lungs, hands gripping the stone table tightly to steady yourself. So this was what jealousy felt like? So suffocating and desperate?

The sudden feeling of fear nearly drowned you beyond your ability to save yourself, but a rising rage surged through your body and burned from the tip of your toe to the last strand of hair. How dare she? How dare he? Jacaerys Velaryon is your man. Yours and no one else's to claim, no matter who or how beautiful she is, she's not you, and you won't let any bees stalk your prince. Therefore, composing yourself in heavy breaths and closed eyes, you prepared to return and put your hands on your dragon, however, a familiar presence approached you attentively.

"What happened? I saw you leaving the hall in a hurry. Everything is fine?" Jace asked before taking your hand, much closer than was appropriate.

Proper wasn't very in vogue at the moment, especially when you leaned in to kiss him on the mouth. It was a thought impulse that almost had you pulling away too quickly if he had made a move, but he did nothing more than grip your forearms. It was a chaste kiss, just a lingering touch of curious lips, but it was enough to make her hearts beat even faster.

“I shouldn't have done that,” you said.

His gaze met yours so that his hands cupped your face. “You should,” he said, “I should have done that,” he corrected, “a long time ago.”

Your eyes widened at the confession. "You should?" You asked.

Turns out his feelings weren't much different from yours. Jace wasn't easily intimidated or shied away from a challenge, but the realization of what he harbored in his chest was different. Like you, he didn't want to feel rejection or awkwardness in your relationship, but it was almost impossible to stop thinking of you as his bride and future queen. His one and only love. What did he have to lose now that he knew your feelings?

"I love you. I've loved you for so long, how could it be otherwise? It's always been us in everything. And I… I never confessed because I didn't think you felt the same, I didn't want to ruin our friendship, I didn't want to lose you.”

An uncontained tear escaped your his eyes, your heart about to explode as you hugged him in euphoria.

"I love you too. I love you so much Jace,” you said. “I was afraid to confess too,” you looked at him before letting a smile escape your lips. “Look at us, fear is not a trait we normally share.”

“Even in fear we meet, then,” he leaned his forehead against your, breathing you in, kissing your lips softly for a long time before adding, “why did you leave the ball? I was really worried.”

Now what did you have to lose? Do you further expose your feelings and make your intentions clearer than ever, or pretend your little outburst never happened? Again, cowardice didn't suit you.

“I was jealous. Of you and Lady Baela. I could just disappear as soon as I saw you smiling so openly in her presence or I could just walk up to you and kiss you in front of her, mark you as mine.”

He smirked in front of you, smug indeed, bringing your face even closer. “Were you jealous, my love?”

My love. “Yes, you idiot, I was.” You snorted, almost softening into the sweet brown eyes of your caring prince. "But I hope I don't have to feel that again."

"You’re not going. You never had to, in fact, there was never anyone who owned my heart like you did,” he assured, sealing his lips to yours again, adrenaline pumping when you cupped the back of his head. You weren't experienced in carnal touches, so it started slow, calm and chaste, an initial contact between lips that had been yearning for so long. Jace had never considered that he would do this in a public place, but the thought of walking away seemed far too absurd. No, it wouldn't be over so quickly. As your mouths moved with more certainty and firmness, his hands moved down your arm to your waist as you pulled him by his hair, causing such good, warm sensations somewhere lower in his body. Maybe it was time to stop...

He pulled away to take a deep breath, face still close to your. You were so beautiful. So so beautiful and perfect. Before he could express those feelings you pulled him even closer and leaned your back on the stone table, sitting with him between your legs and kissing him hungrily. It seemed even more inappropriate, but still Jace's hands gripped your hips before the left one came up to cup your jaw, stroking her beautiful neck. So soft and delicate. What if he tasted a little?

He moved too quickly as he explored your soft skin, causing sweet sounds on your part as the warm, welcoming sensation filled your skin and a specific spot at the apex of your flower.

"Jace," you whimpered as he found the sweet spot on your neck, gripping his hair oblivious to the hardness pressing into your inner thigh. "I want you. I want more,” your sentence came out in a whisper, being so easy to admit to such indecency that it almost scared you. Almost.

However, a throat clearing made your body freeze and your eyes widen in terror, just as it made your prince turn around in embarrassment — partly because of the bulge in his pants and mostly because of what could happen to you. Oh gods, he would never forgive himself if evil rumors spread about you. But by all luck, the unknown figure was just Daemon Targaryen with an almost amused look on his face from the reaction he elicited from you.

“Prince Jacaerys, my lady, I believe this is not the most appropriate place for such conduct, although I understand the appeal,” he said, looking at his second-degree nephew and godson. “Get her out of here before someone else shows up.”

It didn't take much dialogue after that, the two of you nearly running away from the rogue prince and the rest of the cheering crowd. Your heart was almost out of your chest as Jace soothed your concerns, assuring you that nothing would happen to you and your reputation. Daemon won't harm us, he assured you, squeezing your hand affectionately.

“Do you want to go back?” He asked.

"No. Even with what happened, I want to pick up where we left off.”

Oh yes, it would be a long night.

maybe I’ll do a second part 👀

Strange assumptions

Chapter one

Ao3

—

Roman decided that he was bored of being a deity, and decided that he wanted to play pretend. Two years into masquerading as a mortal, he’s sure he’s mastered it.

His friends are glad that everyone in their circle is autistic

—

Roman was rather annoyed. As someone who constantly had to hide his true form from mortals, he was getting tired of being in the mortal realm. It wasn’t the worst, he had friends, he enjoyed the activities the mortal realm offered, but he didn’t like that he had to look like a human.

Humans were, first of all, tiny. As someone far more powerful than little mortals, he was supposed to be bigger than them. By a lot. Squishing down his form was still only one of his problems

He had to remove his horns, he had to change his skin, he had to make his eyes look more human-like, he had to dull down his teeth. It was exhausting. He looked what some humans would refer to as ‘demonic’, but he rejected that.

He was the physical incarnation of imagination of the fantasy genre. His horns were that of dragons, his skin the gold of a royal fae, his eyes the deep black of the darkest magic, his teeth the sharp of the mermaid, his voice that of a siren’s, his wings that of a fairy, and his ears of the elves.

And yet, he was forced to hide his beauty so as to not scare the little mortals. He didn’t mind too much, he liked the mortal realm otherwise. He had made himself a little identity as a human over the past two years.

Though, on the very very rare occasion that one would see his true form, they were scared. He found it somewhat funny, that they were so afraid of him, and he imagined how they’d react to his brother. His brother happened to embody the horror genre.

He hummed to himself as he walked around the town he had chosen to settle in for the past two years. He hadn’t worked out all the details of his persona just yet

He still hadn’t gotten a house. It was something that his human friends didn’t know, but they were asking why they’d never been to his house. Roman had no need for food, for sleep, or for anything that might mean he’d need a house

Usually on a nighttime, he’d walk to somewhere where no mortals were, like the woods, and he’d let his human form melt away. Luckily, no one who saw his true form made the connection between him and human-him.

Most people didn’t tell anyone about the giant they had seen, on account of not having the proof that would stop them from being called crazy. The rare few spiked a mild rumour, but it always faded out after a while.

Roman was glad. As much as he’d like to be himself more often, he’d rather not have to give up his little charade. He was having fun playing pretend.

He grinned, donning a red and gold outfit that his friends liked to say was a bit too extravagant, but Roman loved. He walked through town, towards the cafe where he was meeting his friends.

His friends were not yet there, but there were still several minutes left until their agreed meeting time. Logan always showed up exactly on time, and Virgil was usually late, and Patton was sometimes early, sometimes late, sometimes on time.

Roman enjoyed those little quirks. Humans had such range, in the way that they acted. It’s one of the things that made it bearable to play pretend as one of them.

He watched as the clock turned to 10:30 am, and suddenly Logan walked through the door. Right on time, as predicted.

“Logan! Hi,” he grinned, gesturing for the human to sit down. Logan returned the smile, not as enthusiastically, but Roman knew that Logan just wasn’t very good at outwardly showing emotion

“Roman, glad to see you early for once,” Logan said, in a tone that made it hard to tell if he was joking, but Roman had been friends with him since he had first decided to take up this little charade

He laughed

“Ah, well, you know me. Too many things going on to remember timings, but I was just so excited to see you all today!” He said, gesturing grandly

Logan shook his head slightly

“Of course… have the others shown up yet?” Logan asked, looking outside the window for a second, and then down at the table. Roman shook his head

“Not yet, but you know them, Patton will show up whenever he remembers, and Virgil will show up in about five minutes,” he said, watching the window

He hummed in thought

“Why does he show up almost exactly five minutes late every time we hang out, by the way?” He asked conversationally

Logan smiled

“He thinks it makes him look cooler, and that he doesn’t care about times, but he’s too anxious to show up any later than that,” he explained

His friends were great at observing

“Ah, that makes sense,” he nodded

People had strange little quirks, like Virgil, who tried very hard to be perceived as ‘cool’, but was far too worried about how people may think of him. Sometimes, he would find it hard to talk, but Roman didn’t mind

Logan had quirks too. Like the way he never changed his tone of voice, or had a hard time reading emotions. He liked talking about space, or bugs, or whatever cool thing he had decided to learn about

Patton also had quirks, with the way he was a lot clumsier than most humans, and he had a poor memory, leading to him being a little bit unpredictable. But he was very adamant about his morals, and little things he had to do

Roman liked to think he fit in quite nicely with his little group, despite not being mortal. Not that they knew that, of course, but he was thinking about potentially telling them. He and Logan talked for a few minutes, until the cafe door opened, revealing the tallest member of their group, Virgil.

Roman excitedly waved him over

“Hello!” He exclaimed, once Virgil had effectively slouched in the chair next to Logan

Virgil gave a two finger salute in greeting. Sometimes Virgil didn’t talk much.

Roman grinned widely.

They talked for close to two more minutes before Patton arrived

“Hi, guys- sorry I’m late!”

Patton wore a lot of little pins, some that Roman didn’t know the meaning of, but they looked cool. One was an infinity symbol coloured in rainbow stripes, one was blue and pink and white stripes, and another was just a cartoonish kitty.

They got to talking, and Roman had a lot of fun hanging out with them

Virgil brought up a topic a little later on in the hang-out session

“Did you guys hear that rumour got reignited? Someone else is claiming they saw that giant demon thing,”

Ah, right. An unfamiliar mortal had spotted him a few nights earlier.

Roman laughed

“Oh, please. That rumour has been resurfaced and re-buried a million times over since I’ve lived here. No one has brought any kind of new evidence, have they?” He said, smiling

He couldn’t let them figure him out without him telling them. He didn’t want his friends to be mad because he didn’t tell them.

He liked playing pretend. He liked his friends. He didn’t want to have to give up either of them because someone figured him out.

The conversation carried on progressing, away from Roman’s giant-form. He had to ignore his annoyance at being called a demon again. Getting upset over it would surely blow his cover

His friends left a little while later, and Roman decided to have a little wander. He smiled. He walked into the woods, and a small part of his disguise dropped with every step.

His teeth slowly sharpened, his skin slowly got shinier, and more gold in colour, and his eyes darkened. His horns slowly grew out of his hair, which had turned to blood red, rather than dark brown. He slowly grew in size until he was the size that reflected his perfect, powerful nature.

Soon enough, his form was his usual one, his wings sprouted from his back in a shimmering, glass-like shape.

He watched the stars, every little fairytale about them sprouting to mind. He was made to host them all. He knew that he had little freckles that looked like the stars, but they weren’t that prominent amongst the shining of his skin.

He could feel his jewellery wrapped around his horns. It was silver, contrasting to his skin of gold. There was a red ruby hovering in between silver chains. It was small to him, but compared to the things of the mortal realm, it was quite large.

He flexed his fingers, looking at his beautiful claws.

He basked in the ability to share his true form with minimal chance of being seen. He was in a different place than last time. He had several sparkling jewels, and he had quite a bit of jewellery

He enjoyed the feeling of it.

He soon heard a small inhale from the side of him. He looked towards it and saw a little mortal. It took a few seconds of staring for him to register who exactly it was

“Virgil,” he breathed out, almost in shock

Virgil was not supposed to have found him. He was going to tell Virgil and the rest of his friends on his own accord.

The little mortal looked scared, and he started to back away from Roman.

Roman impulsively grabbed him. He couldn’t let Virgil go and tell everyone before Roman had a chance to explain.

“Stop- stop squirming, just let me explain before you run away, okay?” He said, trying to keep a hold of his friend, who was very rudely making it hard for him.

“Virgil, stop! I’m not going to hurt you,” he tried in vain

“Look, I’ll put you back down on the ground if you promise not to run away, okay?” Virgil looked at him with wide eyes, and trembling breath.

Roman slowly lowered him to the ground and let go, preparing to grab again if his friend ran. Virgil took a few jittery steps back but didn’t start running.

“Okay…” Roman sighed, before continuing “Just, try not to freak out?”

He felt himself shrinking, his horns and wings retreating, and his skin taking on a more fleshy texture and look. His eyes would look human now as well, and his hair would‘ve darkened. Virgil stared at him

He smiled sheepishly

“Sorry I didn’t tell you sooner, but I was planning on telling you all next week. I’d understand if you’re mad at me for keeping this whole thing secret, but I had no clue how you’d respond, and I’ve had so much fun pretending to be human and I like you all being my friends, and I didn’t want to lose that if you reacted badly, and- and, oh my, I’m rambling again.. just- sorry,” he spoke quickly, wringing his hands together

Virgil gaped at him.

“Roman?! You- you’re the demon thing?”

Roman groaned

“Ugh, why does everyone assume I’m a demon? I mean, what kind of demon has my looks, what kind of demon has fairy wings?” He crossed his arms

Virgil stared at him, obviously in shock

Roman ran a hand through his hair in stress, only to realise something

“Oh dear, my hair is simply a mess,” he said, conjuring a mirror to hand, and looking at his hair.

It always was somewhat dishevelled after he turned into his mortal form; his horns tended to mess with its structure. Today, it seemed worse. He magically changed his hair a few times until it looked absolutely perfect.

He turned back to Virgil, who was staring at him with some kind of emotion that Roman didn’t know enough about mortal emotion to identify.

“Did you really have to fix your hair right now?” He asked, almost bitingly

Roman blinked in surprise. Of course he did; his hair was a mess, it needed to be fixed.

Virgil looked at his face and sighed

“Okay, never mind. If you don’t mind me asking, if you aren’t a demon, then, uh, what are you?”

Roman paused for a moment, trying to find the correct words.

—

Virgil had a small, tight-knit group of friends. There was him, Patton, Logan, and Roman. There was sort-of an unspoken acknowledgment that all of them had autism.

Logan had a few accommodations he brought places, like earplugs, and a rubix cube if he got overwhelmed. He had a hard time reading and expressing emotions, but he was pretty nice and very thoughtful.

Patton was very open about his autism, wearing pins and bringing a lot of fidget toys around. He had a lot of trouble with coordination and fine motor skills, but he was always trying to make something. Patton also, unfortunately, was quite bad at telling when someone was taking advantage of him

Roman didn’t often mention his autism, but he was always fidgeting with something. He was always overly expressive, and didn’t always understand social rules, and had a bit of volume control difficulty. He always wore the same silver bracelet. He clearly had a special interest in fairytales, as well

Virgil had a lot of sensory issues, meaning he often had his headphones on and his hoodie. He sometimes went non-verbal, but his friends were very supportive about it. He wasn’t very good at talking to people, so he had quite a bit of anxiety

But, he was mostly fine around his friends. He had known them for years, after all. He had fun hanging around with them.

There was a rumour that floated around their town every so often: that there was a giant demon in the woods.

Virgil didn’t really believe in it, but there were several people who had claimed to have seen it. They all said that it was just sat there, doing whatever, and that it would look at them, and ignore them as it went back to what it was doing.

Virgil didn’t know what to think. The rumour only resurfaced every 4 months or so.

He and his friends hung out about once a week, and they enjoyed chatting. They had never been to Roman’s house, though, but he didn’t mind. Some people just didn’t like having people in their house.

After their hang out session this time, he noticed that Roman just walked into the woods. It was getting dark, he’d hate to know that something could’ve happened to Roman because Virgil just let him wander into the woods at night

He, after a long moment of deliberation, decided to follow him. He couldn’t see where Roman was any more, but he just carried on walking.

It was fully dark before he found something. He froze in place, looking at the giant before him

It had golden skin, shining in the moonlight, and blood red hair. It’s horns were long and twisting, fading from gold to black, and it had a red outfit. It was adorned in silver jewellery, wrapping around its horns, its arms, and its hands. He inhaled sharply, and it looked at him

It had eyes darker than the sky, and teeth sharper than its horns. It stared at him, before speaking.

How- how did it know his name? There was something familiar in the voice, but it sounded different, almost inhuman.

He took a shaky step back, but it lunged, wrapping its hand around him, and giving Virgil a close up of the razor sharp claws.

He was lifted off the ground and he struggled relentlessly against the grip, trying to get away

“Look, I’ll put you back down on the ground if you promise not to run away, okay?” It said, readjusting its grip on him.

Virgil nodded, trying to suppress his panic. He was very slowly placed on the ground.

He took a few quick steps back, but didn’t get too far, wary of the giant creature’s hands that were still very close to him

“Okay…” It sighed, a loud sound that had an accompanying gust of wind “Just, try not to freak out?”

Don’t freak out? That was a bit late, he thought bitterly, before finding his eyes transfixed on its slowly changing body.

Its form grew shorter, its horns depleted and its skin turned from golden to brown. The jewellery it wore slowly disappeared until it was nothing but a very familiar silver bracelet. Its hair darkened to a very dark brown.

He stared in shock as that thing turned into his friend. He couldn’t correlate the two in his mind. He stared as Roman launched into a rambling explanation about what was going on

He couldn’t listen.

“Roman?! You- you’re the demon thing?” He said after a few seconds

Roman protested against the demon allegations, before seemingly realising that his hair was a mess

Virgil was almost in shock, as Roman paused the whole revelations to fix his hair, with a mirror that had supposedly appeared from nowhere

Virgil rubbed his forehead after determining that Roman had really, actually decided that right then was the perfect time to do his hair.

“Okay, never mind. If you don’t mind me asking, if you aren’t a demon, then, uh, what are you?” He asked, almost tentatively.

Roman fidgeted with his hands and paused for a moment

“Well, I think the best word to use would be deity. I’m the physical representation of imagination in the fantasy genre,”

Virgil blinked

What did that even mean? What was Roman talking about?!

how i think modern!aemond looks like

note: english is not my first language, im from brasil i speak pt br português brasileiro and im using the translator sometimes, sorry for my mistakes

lets goooo 😋

first off all, his family would remain a monarchy, maybe like danish royalty (i read somewhere that the Danish royals have more political power than the British royals or something like that, and i honestly cant think the Targaryens giving up any power that they could have) and here we DONT have incest (at least not the ones that would be shocking in our current society)!!!! read my thoughts below:

viserys didnt die yet and still being the king

daemon is viserys cousin so she can marry daemon with "no problem" and shes the heir of the iron throne

the line of succession to the throne would be: rhaenyra, jacaerys, lucerys, joffrey, aegon and viserys (idk whos the eldest), aegon, helaena, aemond and finally daeron

he knows he wont be king unless some catastrophe happens and kills his whole family but still a little bit jealous

aemond takes advantage of being the 9th in the line of succession, since he has very "few" spotlight on him, so he can live a normal life like all of us mere mortals

uses his prince title when needs something (that includes the girls 🤭)

think im done about the political part of his family so lets move on to physical appearance and hc about him and his relationship with family

aemond doesnt have long hair like in hotd, his hair is more like tom or billy (personally billy is my favourite)

ewan smile is so pretty i cant 😭

def wear an eye patch bc dont have one eye, obviously he dont lost his eye on a fight about claiming a dragon, but maybe he fell on a shard of glass or lucerys pushed him into a sharp rock which caused the scar and pierce his eye (my poor boy 😓)

ATHLETIC BOY!!!!! im talking about both body and style, ewan practically only wears adidas and aemond being a mama's boy, coming from two rich families buys everything that is adidas clothing

and you guys see ewan in world on fire and his new photoshoot like bro his muscles are heavenly 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 (só uma chance ewan, pfv 😭

aemond smokes A LOT, i mean aegon get drunk every week (if he doesnt do it every day 🤷🏻) and helaena has her bugs collection, so why he cant do something he likes and help him to destress?

for a 100% sure hes alicents favorite boy and daerons favorite brother

daeron probably just thinks his brother is the best in the world, the bravest, the most beautiful and everything a child can think of their big brother (he also thinks the scar on aemonds eye is really cool and when he was a child, like 4 years, he took one of his eye patches and put it to look like aemond

and about alicent, just look at their hair in hotd, those are the most hydrated hair of the entire series!!! ok joke, aemond was a quiet child, never gave her much trouble and was the first child she could call "her own child"

aegon would be to the realm if something happened to rhaenyra before she sire heirs and we all know how his temper is ☠️

helaena in my hc is autistic, some autistic people dont like other people touching them and helaena would be one these

as a child, she would reject alicents hugs and affections, in addition to being very difficult to communicate with her

contrary to all that, aemond was a perfect child, he would be glued to alicent 24/7, wanting her hugs, kisses and affection, his mothers affection.

she was his confidant when he was suffering and crying, she helped him with the school activities that he had difficulty, she was the one who stayed by his side in the hospital when he lost his eye

and aemond returned all the love his mother gave to him taking care of her and being the best at everything he did, just to make her proud of him

its aemond whos sitting next to alicent when she cries worried about being attracted to women and wipe her tears, she feels guilty for doing something that is said to be "wrong" in her religion (alicent para meninas, rhaenyra is her girlfriend canon

now leaving the sad mood aside lets go to more aemond's hc + dating hc

vhagar is aemonds lizard and she has a HUGE terrarium in his room with everything and more a lizard needs.

he is studying politics, international relations, history or philosophy in college

probably his girlfriend (me and you obvious) would be on one of these classes too or something like that

the BEST boyfriend ever, he is super respectful and treats his girlfriend like the princess she will be in the future when they get married

romantic dates would be to fancy places that nobles frequent, like operas and ballet but aemond would also take you to a museum, library, dinner at a super expensive restaurant you like and of course, skiing in the swiss alps

if you like a sport or did one, he would be super supportive and take you to every competition you wanted to see/gonna compete in

aemond would spoil you no matter if you have money or not

have you seen a prada bag online? it will be in your hands the next morning

did you make a comment of a swarovski necklace you saw at the mall? he bought the necklace and one more set of jewelry

are you undecided whether to buy a Chanel or Dior perfume? no problem, the two perfumes will be on your table when you get home

aemond would be very insecure about his scar and eye, and really wouldnt think himself worthy of you

but you are here with him to tell him how important he is to you, how handsome he is and how much you love him, when he heard you say that, all his insecurities would go away

and he absolutely LOVES that you touch his hair, massage, wash his hair and make mini braids on it

anything you do he loves 💗

Hello! If you have read the novel, could you give us some details about Furong and Mofang? :) I am curious about their story since the drama unfortunately doesn't show much about them

sure anon! actually speaking, as the drama’s script was also written by jiu lu fei xiang (aka the author of the novel), she’s doing a fantastic job of expanding further on mo fang and fu rong’s relationship! there are actually more moments and, in a way, feelings between them in the drama compared to the novel. but that’s just my opinion as someone who has seen both!

in the novel, this is what we get (WARNING FOR PLOT SPOILERS):

the selling tickets thing doesn’t happen in the novel. mo fang and fu rong first meet when fu rong gets drunk in that wine shop. mo fang is furious at him for dragging shen li’s reputation down with him and thus goes to pick him up, taking him away. before he can do so, fu rong says he has “eyes like stars, with such soul” and kisses him in front of everyone. mo fang is dumbstruck but the second he recovers, he immediately knocks fu rong out before dragging him home. this scene was edited slightly to attempt to pass censorship and presumably filmed, but ended up being cut— thus resulting in that weird cut to the knockout and a shorter runtime of the final produced episode (which was only 36 mins).

although in the novel it is not explicitly stated how fu rong ends up grabbing mo fang’s pendant, he does do so while drunk (i headcanon that it happens while mo fang drags him back) and he does spend a long while trying to return it to him, just like in the drama. jlfx actually managed to keep 95% accuracy of their scenes and lines said, with the 5% amount of deviation due to censorship.

one of the lines cut was mo fang saying that he's "never hated/never been more annoyed by anyone in his entire life" which i wish they kept but it's okay

when xing zhi ends up clarifying that mo fang was rejected by shen li, fu rong is overjoyed and says something like “this is a good chance for me [to pursue him] then!!”

again, like the drama, fu rong is kicked and escapes to the mortal realm, and when fu rong returns, he clings every day to mo fang’s side. one detail i like that the drama added was that we got to see mo fang regret it and hold out his hand to help him up, but fu rong didn’t know he was trying to help and fled!! 😭

you lan still warns mo fang to stay away from fu rong and says all that stuff about how her brother normally doesn’t pursue men like this, like i am not kidding when i say jlfx is keeping everything she can

this is where plot spoilers begin so look away if you must!

while the demon realm is in crisis, mo fang is “swallowed” by demons upon fighting them, and “dies”. when fu rong finds this out, we learn from you lan that he went crazy, his spiritual power exploded, and because his powers are so pure, he ended up washing out all of the colour of his plants and exploded his courtyard.

he was unconscious for a long time, and when he woke up, he learned of mo fang’s betrayal, which broke his heart even further. he became silent and uncommunicative and did not let anyone fix his courtyard, so it’s still broken to this day.

from then on, fu rong dresses in plainer clothes (as if he's mourning... 😭) and swears to work hard to help guard the xutian abyss's barrier for the rest of time.

from one of he yu (fu rong) and xin yunlai (mo fang)'s interviews, it seems like we will be getting a lot more of their bond in the drama which makes me really excited! xin yunlai says that mo fang eventually ends up finding fu rong quite cute and that he doesn't want such a cute and kind person to be in danger. he yu says that later, when mo fang is revealed as a traitor, fu rong is the first to believe that he's not a bad person, and that he understands mo fang the most.

suffice to say i am NOT READY for the second half of this drama!! i hope this helps you out, anon!

#asking carmen #i need to see fu rong blowing himself up so bad like i’ll actually lose my mind over the next few episodes #all the angst is coming up so soon 😭😭😭#i'm so excited truly ive been insane over these two for months #jlfx really never fails to deliver me feasts even with censorship #the legend of shen li #mo fang #fu rong #mo fang x fu rong #与凤行

my loose plot is this:

Felix is a descendant of one of the original Grimms, and their family has been blessed with the ability to see the fae due to an ancestor doing the Faerie Queen a great service. Originally, the family used this ability to gather stories and tell tales- but the blessing eventually became a curse when the Grimms began to be persecuted as witches and devil-worshipers. Many of the Grimms were executed because of this, and it soon became a necessity to hide this ability… which is very difficult when you are surrounded by playful faeries at all times. Any Grimm who messes up or indulges in the faerie's antics are labeled as crazy or are institutionalized.

The Faerie' Queen's Blessing is known as being Faetouched.

Jump foreword to the modern day, and Olai is just another step down the the Grimm Family Tree- It's become family tradition to just ignore the fae- and rejecting everything that isn't tangible or logical helps ground some's sanity. it worked well for many of the Grimm.. including Olai. But not so much for his son, Felix, who finds the fae folk irresistible and has accidentally befriended one. As time has proven, he has become an outcast and a "weirdo". But he does well enough to avoid his Father's scorn- who is quite strict about indulging in fantasy, and refuses to acknowledge the fae, even at his son's expense.

One day, Olai's wife ended up in the Faewild via faerie circle and disappeared- most likely lost or dead for good due to the nature of the faewild. In his moment of weakness, he was approached by a particularly cruel fae, Null- who seeks to seal the faewild away from the living world (an action that would destroy both realms- a result that Null keeps hidden from Olai.) and makes a deal with him- help it, and he will not only achieve freedom and attain peace from the faeries incessant nature, but keep any other mortal from befalling the same fate as him beloved wife... and for the first time since he was a child, Olai acknowledges a faerie.

So Null teaches him how to "Shatter" a faerie.. which is ripping the Faestone from it's body. The action basically destabilizes the faerie, which kills it's current body and forces it's mind to sleep inside the gemstone. (Once shattered, the Faestone must be returned to the Faewild where it can be restored by the Faerie Queen, or it will eventually begin to condense and form a monster)

Should he gather enough Faestones, and he can use them to power a ritual that can destroy a portal into the Mortal world: known as a Faerie Circle.. but the fae- as airheaded and foolish as they can be, are smarter then they let on: so he must use what faestones he has to create monsters. These monsters hunt down faeries for him. (Monsters are... faeries who have become violent and simple-minded due to the Destabilization)

Enter Saki: who is new to the area. Starlight Bay is a huge tourist spot, and her mother has a job offer running a beach-themed restaurant. With Spring Break around the corner, she is needed more than ever. So she expedites the move to Starlight Bay with Saki.

Saki is just like other kids in her situation: new kid in a new town. She's always been a little different, but who isn't? She tries to explore town, but with it flooding with college students, she actually finds the draw of the nearby forest more interesting. (she thinks she saw something in the forest when they had driven by it earlier)

She spends her time gathering things she finds neat. Fun sticks, cool rocks. Some neat trash that might have a use later in one of her "art pieces" or gadges.. when she steps into a Faerie Circle. She almost is lost to the Faewild, when it turns out some of the stones she had been collecting ended up being Faestones, and that catches the eye of the Faerie Queen, who realizes that this might be the best way to save her faeries from this strange fate that is befalling them- as they cannot investigate themselves (Faeries are quite silly and air-headed and unable to focus too long. they also cannot interact with the mortal realm that well without a mortal anchor) and she herself cannot enter the Living Realm without befalling the same fate as a human in hers.

So she makes Saki into a Faetouched, and asks her to help… and Saki's a good kid, who's eager to jump into helping her. Squeaky, one of the Fae she had saved, volunteers (read, does not give Saki the choice) to become her guide and companion… and Saki then realizes what she has gotten herself into when she realizes that the faeries were everywhere, actually.

School starts back up soon, and there she meets Alina and/or Flora. She realizes she's being followed by someone at school… and it turns out to be Felix- who is noticing her reacting to the Faeries, and is wondering if she really can see them too… However, he's too nervous to actually ask until confronted- because his own reaction to faeries has gotten himself ostracized and he would rather not exacerbate that opinion others have on him. People have caught him talking to himself a lot (actually talking to Callie, a faerie who has taken a very fond liking to him) and acting weird (He mutters under his breath at them, reacts to being swatted at, taunted, ect. Faeries are super mischievous and getting a reaction out of someone who is trying SO HARD to ignore them is HILARIOUS) and from there, they become friends.

From there i have no grand plot. Just the basics.

Together, they gather Faestones and save faeries from this strange event that is befalling the fae. It would be neat if Felix' mother ended up being the Faerie Queen, taking over after the old one had been devoured by Null.

Flora would be Faetouched via her own, naturey way. Prolly due to her garden, and Alina would be Faetouched later on. Niko would be fun to implement. Maybe have a literal Bothers Grimm thing going on with Olai. As for Nathan? Not sure yet. I'll puzzle on that more.

Okay. Character Solidifying ask game. For Peia, numbers 6, 19, 22, 25, 42 and 43.

6. Did they feel rejection or affection as a child?

Affection. Peia's shyness stems more from his being, almost literally "a fish out of water", not from some past trauma. He would have grown up with many "siblings" and been very comfortable when he was home. Moving from the spirit world to the mortal realm was the trigger for a lot of his struggles, as he never really gets over that feeling of vulnerability.

19. What were your character’s deepest disillusions? In life? What are they now?

He would have seen humans as very terrible, destructive creatures, but after having spent time amongst them, he sees there are many who are not this way, and that there is just as much beauty in their world as his own.

22. Who are their friends? Lovers? ‘Type’ or ‘ideal’ partner?

The most important person in his life to date is Xiaoming, who acts mostly as his mentor. He sees him very much as a guide, a big brother who shields him and keeps him safe. He enjoys Irellian's companionship as they share an elemental nature, so he feels, to a certain extent, that they are kin. Peia has never had any kind of romantic experiences or attachments before. He's quite youthful in that way, and somewhat naïve. He may not recognize romantic feelings for what they are without having someone help him to better understand them. But I see him as demisexual. He would have to form a very close emotional bond and deep friendship with someone first. Traits he would value highly, or would see as ideal in a partner would certainly be gentleness, and a love of living things. But he also greatly admires strength, both physically and emotionally. Self-assured people and very intelligent people would be just as fascinating to him, and he is most suited to a person who can fill that role of protector and/or caretaker. Not part of the question but additional headcanon, Peia's love language would also be acts of service, in a very domestic/maternal way. Cooking, cleaning, taking care of their partner, being very attentive to their physical needs, health and mental wellbeing. Simple shows of affection such as waiting at the door when they arrive home, treating their belongings tenderly, and being very diligent/obedient as a way of gaining affirmation, but also to show that he respects them. So, I should say also someone who is not afraid to give compliments as they would go very far with Peia. He really needs to hear that he is a good boi lmao.

25. What are their hobbies and interests?

As previously mentioned, he liked to play instruments, he'd love music in general, also gardening and learning to care for plants as well as their purposes. And of course, his deep love of water. He would thrive near water, and be very sickly too far from it. He loves being outside, at the very least, being close to nature in some capacity. In my canon he upkeeps a water temple, maintaining the shrine makes him happy and makes him feel closer to the spirits.

42. What does your character want most? What do they need really badly, compulsively? What are they willing to do, to sacrifice, to obtain?

I wouldn't say he has something he deeply wants to obtain. Rather, I think his greatest wish is simply to live in peace. He desperately craves safety and security, and since he is naturally a very skittish person, he can be made anxious easily. it can be quite damaging to his spirit and he can even become ill if stressed. So being able to have a calm environment where he can feel safe and protected is the most important thing for him.

43. Does your character have any secrets? If so, are they holding them back?

No, not secrets. Though, it takes times to build up trust with him, once someone has it, he would be open to sharing most anything about himself if they asked.

Danny Phantom Ancient Vlad AU, where Vlad is a Halfa created in the 1600s (the time of burning ‘witches’), through magical means instead of sci-fi… He’s immortal and has lost faith in humanity (after watching his family get burned alive, for believing in science)… He never knew Jack + Maddie… But he’s still obsessed with turning Danny into his son, after learning Danny’s a halfa… He wants to destroy humanity, for how they treat ghosts + other monsters (similar to Demona)!👻

Those are some definite possibilities for an interesting au.

It'd also give Vlad less of a Saturday Morning Cartoon vibe & more of that Demona feel you mentioned.

Maybe he was sacrificed by actual, legit witches/warlocks to open a permanent doorway to the Infinite Realms? But something went wrong & he was only killed halfway. (As not all of the accusations could've been false. Obviously, most of them were & lead to the deaths of innocents, but there'd need to be at least a couple that were legit. Maybe the head of his town's church, the pastor, was one & was using his position to sacrifice more lives. Because, in many ways, witches can be considered cultists.)

Or, maybe he was fully killed & his own desire to live & protect his family brought him back to life as a half-Lugat, half-ghost? This would make him even less human than in canon as Lugats are a type of vampire.

If we go with my idea that the pastor of Vlad's hometown was a warlock & head of the local coven, then we could make the first few years of Vlad's afterlife into a chessmatch between him & the pastor. (Obviously, the pastor isn't a real pastor, as the ones I've always met were all wonderful people. But in this, he'd be acting the part of one.)

In this way, his afterlife beginning would reflect Danny's, though here, he was protecting his family from witches & warlocks. And perhaps he actually killed these people? But, despite all he does, maybe he was still rejected by the town?

It was likely him that had Vlad's family burned in retribution for all the trouble that Vlad was giving him. After which, his ghost began to change from Tutelary to Remnant? Tultelaries being protector spirits like Danny, while Remnants are ghoul-like entities that seek vengeance for their deaths, in this case, also vengeance for the deaths of his family.

Though, wouldn't it be interesting if this warlock was also using the rest of his coven to gain power for himself? Perhaps, he believes in whatever entity the coven worships, but is much like Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat?

It could also prove to be a good character moment for Vlad if, over the years, he slowly becomes more like that pastor & he doesn't even realize it or tries to rationalize it. You know, a lying, manipulative snake?

Hmm... This has possibilities...

My gift for @princessbuttercup for the @kakairu-discord-server exchange, i hope you like it!

I felt that the art needed a little bit more of context, so i made a little something to go with it under the cut <3

The themes i choose for these where Magical/Mythical relations, Reunions and Lights, and the prompt i choose was Soulmates.

- - - - - - -

The people in the village have legends about them, some are truer than others. They say you can see two spirits at night, they are never alone, as they shine brighter in the company of the other. Their purpose is to be a guide light for any spirit that might need it.

Hundred years ago, the snow spirits were in search of a guide for those lost souls in the physical realm. That's where they found a soul perfect for the job: Iruka. A heart who found joy in teaching and guiding. But those souls who are given a job have to give their mortal life to become magical beings. The spirits didn't see a problem, Iruka was a selfless being, as he would die to protect others, after all.

The spirits reached out to Iruka in a dream and communicated his new purpose: He would guide lost souls to their destiny.

- So, dear, do you accept? - asked one of the spirits to Iruka.

- I- i do... But, do I have to leave now? What will happen to the children in my class? What would happen to Naruto? I promised we would get ramen tomorrow!

Being deeply touched by his selfless worries, the spirits decided to make a deal with Iruka: They would give him more time, and they would call him when he is needed the most. They would let him live more of a mortal life.

Years passed after that dream, not too many, but enough for the dream to be already forgotten, and Iruka was living a happy and peaceful life as a teacher in Konoha. He thought of himself as quite lucky actually, Naruto considered him as a father figure, which he couldn't be prouder of, and thanks to his closeness to Naruto, he got to know his sensei, Kakashi.

They wouldn't admit it, but they really loved each other. They have grown closer throughout the years, with Naruto training outside the village, they found nice company in the other. Over the years, the spirits had an eye in Iruka, watching him grow into a man of kindness, but they also got their eye in Kakashi. They started to get worried when they met each other, as they could see that their souls were made for each other and the moment they had to call for Iruka was getting closer. How could they separate two soulmates?

Some time passed and the moment to call for Iruka came. And to the Spirits' surprise, Iruka had doubts.

- This is a great honor, and... I don't want to be disrespectful, but... I can't leave Kakashi.

The Spirits looked at each other, it would be cruel for them to separate two soulmates, but they needed a guide for those lost souls. Iruka looked ashamed to reject their job, but a soulmate's bond is stronger that one could think.

- We understand - and without saying anything else, the Spirits were gone.

Iruka woke from that dream, with a mix of relief and sadness. He would love to help more in more ways than just teaching, but, he can't even entertain the idea of leaving Kakashi. The sadness didn't last a lot after thinking about him, he made the right choice.

This dream, as the first one, was forgotten with the passage of time. Iruka could live a happy life at the side of Kakashi, he could see him become Hokage, and he could see him become the headmaster of the Academy. Together, they gave the village the best of them, and they couldn't be prouder. They saw their students grow, get married and make their own families.. They, too, got married, choosing to not have kids, as they felt Naruto and team 7 were like their own, and with their families, their house never felt empty, always full of people, and kids running.

Iruka and Kakashi gave each other the happy life they thought they wouldn't be able to get when they were kids. They grew older together, happy with the life they made. But after a life together, it was time to say goodbye. Iruka thanked Kakashi for all the love and years together, and cried for the loss of his lover.

Not too long after that, it was Iruka's turn to say goodbye. The last image he saw was him being surrounded by his family, and the families they made, the last thing he remembers feeling was love and pride. He was sad seeing those sad faces, but he couldn't be happier and prouder for them.

Iruka closed his eyes and said his last goodbye. He expected to feel cold, but instead he felt surrounded by something warm. It was dark, but he didn't feel scared. Suddenly, he saw a light. It had a weird shape, similar to a bird, but, did it had horns? Iruka followed the light, as he felt he had to, until he was just in front of it. He got closer to the animal, until he realized something really familiar: A scar across their eye.

Tears started forming in Iruka's eyes as the bird shone brighter in the shape of a person, until Iruka could recognize him.

- Kakashi? - Iruka threw himself into Kakashi 's arms.

- We see that you found each other - Iruka turned his head to see the Spirits from his dreams

- We thought a lot about this, Iruka, we would love it if you could be our spirit guide - Said the other spirit. Iruka was processing all of this, the Spirits waited for him, but, also, Kakashi was here. - But we also thought that it would be better if you had some company.

- I've missed you - Iruka turned to see Kakashi who was holding his hand, just to throw himself into his arms again.

Iruka and Kakashi felt like nothing much had changed, even though they were now Spirits. They were together and felt like they were doing pretty much the same job as when they were alive. Teaching came naturally for Iruka, and Kakashi quickly learnt how to be a spirit guide.

The legends says that you can see two lights, one in the shape of a bird, and one in the shape of a rabbit together playing in the woods, waiting for any soul in need of help. There are some people who say that when the spirits guides are really bored, you can seem them in the village in their physical forms looking to eat a bowl of ramen, and a funny way that you could identify them is because they would try to hide their magical features under a cape, and sometimes you can even hear them discussing because one of them would read certain type of inappropriate books. But after all, you would see them together, hand in hand.

The Spirits felt that they made a good choice, as they have never seen two souls being happier together.
