Pairing: Espadas x GN!Arrancar reader

Genre: Fluff, Headcanons, Romantic.

CW: Rudeness.

Requested by Anon: hi! can I please request the espada with a s/o who is also their fraccion? : )

A/N: more noi stuff for me to do NICEEEE

Coyote Starrk

he needed someone calm and collective..and a fraccion who act like a friend to him.

he just lonely

he started to have feelings for you when you care about him so so much is..it feels good.

it feels good enough to have someone by his side as a friend. but even at best a lover who will love him the way he is

he's lazy most of the time. plus he barely even have anything to order or make you do anyways. so he mostly just sleeps with you. and most of the time Lilynette don't wake him up when he's sleeping with you since she don't wanted to ruin his sweet time with you. plus sometimes Lilynette even sleep in between both of you.

he's quite passive with the relationship with you and mostly just go with whatever you wish.

he loves you. loves when you're always staying with him. loves when you care about him so much. he loves everything about you. he never once have a day when he regret choosing you as his fraccion.

Baraggan Louisenbairn

Barraggan is regal, egotistical, and full of pride so he needs someone loyal and cherish him for his powers.

He does not hesitate to tell you that he's the leader of the relationship. which is right because he's the dominant one in the whole relationship.

he started to have feelings for you when you treated him so good. and you're just good looking. at least you don't look ridiculous like the others.

he put the duty of holding his zanpakuto to you and you only.

he usually and normally brags about his power to you a lot. no reason he just like showing off plus you're always by his side anyways.

he loves the loyalty you have for him. he will keep you safe forever and ever.

Tier Harribel

Harribel is calm, taciturn, level-headed, and analytical, preferring to not engage in combat. so of course she do want someone calm and understanding.

Harribel cares for her Fracción a lot. she just cares for you a lot more specifically.

she started to have feelings when you're just so adorable and loyal to her. she never met such an adorable person.

it feels good to have such an adorable little fraccion like you working for her like this. she can't handle how adorable whenever you smiled. it makes her heart beat so fast it hurt.

when she's with you she usually just hold you close to her unless you aren't comfortable with it. she loves cuddling with you and her 3 other fraccions REALLY ship both of you to death. they're literally the reason both you and Harribel got together in the first place.

honestly her 3 fraccions the moment they knew Harribel likes you they will literally follows you around to caught you being bad or talk shit about Harribel. they don't want Harribel to be caught in danger or anything bad if she got with you. they done enough investigation and think that you're literally perfect for their Harribel that's why later on they tried so hard to get both of you together.

she's passive with the relationship. she just goes with whatever honestly.

she loves you. she adores you. you're fucking adorable and so cute to her. absolutely will 100% protect you to death. and so would her Fraccions.

Ulquiorra Cifer

Ulquiorra is a very cold, callous, and dispassionate figure, and is rather aloof, brooding, and indifferent. why the hell wouldn't he don't want some calm, collective, understanding, and smart Fraccion for himself?

he loves when he don't even have to be or sound so demanding when he order you to do something nor ask much questions about his orders and do what he wish. it doesn't frustrated him like how the others do.

he started to like you when you just never or did find him weird like the others. and he likes that you never minded how blunt or how he don't understand feelings. instead you explained a lot of stuff to him.

it feels good to have someone as useful and perfect as you.

he'll mostly just always keep him close to him since he don't wanted to lose you ever. you are the most perfect being to him.

he honestly is more on a dominant side in the relationship and he will be in most control of the stuff you two will be doing. unless he really don't know what to do.

he loves you. he don't even know why. he just do. you mean so much to him and he never knew the reason why. but all he knows is that you're the reason he knew love.

Nnoitra Gilga

Nnoitra is extremely crude, sadistic, and lecherous..but secretly he just soft. he do want a fraccion that's quite obedient to him and understanding of him and can handle him.

he loves bragging to you how he wanted to be the most strongest espada and will beat whoever get in his way and kept reminding you that you're lucky he didn't decided to kill you the moment he saw you

he actually started loving you when you're just so..soft and kind to him no matter how much he actually hurt or insults you. you're just always so stubborn to him. you should already have left him alone but you didn't and continue to be by his side no matter what happened. it makes him feel good honestly. but sometimes he just wish you will finally leave him since he wasn't the bestest choice for you to choose.

it feels good to have such a kind and soft person that he can be soft and vulnerable to. he never felt this kind of feelings. it makes him feel weak. yet he can't deny that it makes him feel nice too. he fucking hates yet loves the feeling of it.

he's quite battle-hungry most of the time so he will fight some random arrancars to prove dominance and make you watch him so he can show off.

he honestly try to be as dominant as possible in the relationship yet he always ended up as submissive in the relationship. he always go with whatever you wanted because of the fear of losing you if he do something more worst than insulting you nonstop.

he loves you. the softness and tenderness in your touch is so..great. it feels so cold when you touch him yet..so warm. it makes him all fuzzy and soft inside. you see him blushing a lot whenever you touch him so softly and tenderly like a vase that can break at any moment. and he surprisingly let you.

Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez

Grimmjow possesses a brutal, impulsive, and excessively violent personality or overall just a wild animal so of course he wanted someone who will listen to him without any problem. yet still a little chill and someone who he can sometimes just casually hang with and someone who can just handle him.

he'll say whatever he wants with you. he's an honest and straightforward man he won't lie and won't go around his own point. he just straight to the point man.

he started to like when you're just soft and honestly just chill and kind to him no matter how animalistic he acts towards you or others. you're always there for him and isn't afraid of him. it frustrates him at first but he got used to it then find it..sweet later on.

it feels good to have such a person to just hang around and always free for him just to talk about whatever.

this man is absolute dominant in the relationship. he'll do and say what he wanted and always in charge. but there's still time he's soft and vulnerable to you.

he loves you. he loves your softness and kindness towards you. it frustrates him when you're so soft yet he can't deny that he fucking loves it at the same time. you're such a pain.

Zommari Rureaux

Zommari cultivates a calm, serious and contemplative personality so..yes he wanted someone similar to him. and even better someone that cherish and love Aizen and justice like him. you will get along with him better if you do like those 2 things.

he likes meditating and would not like you to bother him when he's doing it. unless you wanted to do it too.

he genuinely just likes bragging about how much he love justice and how much he cherish Aizen. honestly if you like those things you'll probably going to get along with him very well.

he starts to like you when you're just as crazy about the things he like and how well he get along with you. not a lot of people get along with him well because of his love (obsession) with justice and how well you handled him with it.

it feels good to have a person beside him that he can talk and obsessed over about justice and Aizen.

this dude it just. passive honestly. he'll just chill and go along with whatever.

he loves you. the way you like similar things to him. the way you always participate in things he like. is nice really.

Szayelaporro Granz

He is highly narcissistic. he'll love someone who will cherish him for how smart and kept reminding him of how he's a perfect being in every possible way.

he likes experimenting and he would not like you to join him nor help him at all. he's afraid of you ruining his work and experiments he's doing.

he loves bragging to you about how perfect and smart he is. and you always agrees with him and cherish him for it.

he started to like you when you're just seemingly always by his side and always cherish and talk about him. is rarely about you that sometimes..he wonders about things about you.

it feels good to have a cherisher like you by his side.

this fucking man is honestly dominant in the relationship. he's in control of everything because no matter if you're his lover he still thinks you're dumber than him..so you gotta deal with it.

he loves you the way you are. the way you're so kind and amazing and always cherish him.

Aaroniero Arruruerie

Aaroniero is Somewhat cruel and sadistic..yet insecure of himself. he never wanted a fraccion if he was honest. but he was force too because of Aizen. he didn't know why he picked you. he just randomly did.

the thing he immediately order you to do is stay away from him as much as possible.

he likes staying away from you. just. please don't touch him please the poor man is insecure.

when you tried to get closer to him he will immediately yells at you to go away. but the more you kept trying to talk to him the more he just..let you. he didn't knew why are you so..stubborn and wanted to talk to him this much.

he never have such a person like you who wanted to talk to him this much ever before. he enjoys your company honestly but he hates how he enjoys it.

he started to like you when you're just so..soft and kind to him and always by his side..he hates how you treat him so well like he's an actual being that deserves every good thing.

it feels good to have such person to keep him accompanied. he loves you.

your tentacle husband is submissive in the relationship he'll do what you wanted him too since he's so afraid and scared of losing you.

he loves you. no matter how you looks. if you're kind and soft to him and aren't scared of him because of his appearance? he's in love with you.

Yammy Llargo

Yammy is a powerful, yet dense so he'll probably wanted someone who just can help him with stuff and probably someone who can cook him food that he can eat.

honestly i genuinely dont know what to do with him

🖤 raze ?

attractiveness:

repulsive / hideous / ugly / not attractive / unappealing / not unattractive / meh / no preference / ok / mildly attractive / nice looking / cute / adorable / attractive / pleasant on the eyes / good looking / hot / sexy / beautiful / gorgeous / hot damn / would tap that / perfect / godlike / holy fuck there are no words.

Honestly, I always thought it was a bit of a shame that Raze only ever really got to terrorise Logan in the few comics appearances he had after Battle of the Atom, because there is just so much to unpack in panels like this, but as far as I know, he and present Hank never really interact. That being said, Logan + Raven = unfortunately attractive children, I'm afraid to say. Awful, really.

personality:

grating / irritating / frustrating / boring / confusing at best / awkward / unreasonable / psychotic / disturbing / interesting / engaging / affectionate / aggressive / ambitious / anxious / artistic / bad tempered / bossy / charismatic / appealing / unappealing / creative / courageous / dependable / unreliable / unpredictable / predictable / devious / dim / extroverted / introverted / egotistical / gregarious / fabulous / impulsive / intelligent / sympathetic / talkative / up beat / peaceful / calming / badass / flexible.

Moving over to X-Force Beast for this one, since I can only guess this is from the inimitable @defyxoblivion - he finds him irritating as hell, but that's not exactly unique to Raze, X-Force Beast finds everyone a drain on his mental resources. That being said, he's a useful asset, and not unintelligent, if he could just get his emotions sorted out and processed.

how likely they would have sex with them:

not if they were the last person on earth and the world was ending / fuck no! / never / no way / not likely / not sure / indifferent / I’m asexual / maybe / probably / it depends / fairly likely / likely / yeah sure / yes / would tap that / hell yes / fuck yes! / wishing that could happen right now / as many times as possible / we are already having sex.

I conceptualise X-Force Beast as a fairly asexual being, he just doesn't really care about that side of things anymore since he's a goddamn emotional black hole, but every now and then an itch needs to be scratched, and I don't think this version of Beast is all that picky about who he lays down with (canonically, he has a sex program in the Shadow Room, which, thanks for that, Ben Percy). If Raze is there and interested, why not?

level of friendship:

never in a million years / worst of enemies / enemies / rivals / indifferent / neutral / acquaintance / friendly toward each other / casual friends / friends / good friends / best friends / fuck buddies / bosom buddies / practically the same person / would die for them / true friends / my only friend.

X-Force Beast is very firm on the fact that he doesn't want, need, or have friends, so this was always going to be fairly limited. That being said, I don't think he regards Raze as an enemy - he's intelligent and ambitious enough that he could view him as a potential rival, but that's honestly closer to respect than antagonism for this version of Beast.

first impression of them:

i hate them so much / i don’t like them / i don’t trust them / they annoy me / they’re weird / I’m indifferent / meh / they seem alright / they’re growing on me / truce / I think I like them / I like them / I’m not sure if I trust them / I trust them / they’re cool / they’re genuine / I think we’re going to get along / I really like them / I think I’m in love / oh fuck they’re hot / I love them.

This one's a bit of a tricky one, given there's the canon way Hank first encountered Raze, which was not flattering, and then there's the alternate Raze the esteemed defyxoblivion plays, where the context was very different. That being said, I don't think that saying he didn't trust him in either context is much of a stretch. :P

current impression of them:

X-Force Beast doesn't trust anyone, and that's just fine with everyone involved. That being said, if we're going by members of X-Force, he's probably most fine with Raze just by virtue of the fact that he also has a complicated, messy, and occasionally hateful relationship with Logan, though Raze is probably doing a better job of managing said relationship than Beast is.

Danganronpa 3: Future arc episode 5.

Thonks.

We're back!

Into a flashack of kid Seiko trying to help a hurt doggo. And ending up saving Ruruka's dog.

This show didn't need to give me reasons for believing Seiko deserves the world.

But I'll take em.

I'm pretty indifferent to Ruruka and Izayoi.

They were asshole's as teens and they're still asshole's as adults.

It is sweet seeing them actually be friends to Seiko as kids.

It's sad knowing how toxic that friendship becomes but that's as far as my feelings to them are.

Also the fact they knew from the beginning why Seiko can't eat sweets.

And than use that later on, that she's cruel for not eating Ruruka's sweets, despite knowing she can't eat them is just awful.

Those two bought this on themselves, I do not sympathise with them at all.

Izayoi vs Seiko is a cool fight.

But I'm sorry "I'll kill you in the name of deliciousness" does not sound as cool as you think Izayoi.

It is a fun line though.

Annnd back to the Director and Munakata.

Where the Director is still impaled and bleeding.

Munakata calling the man who threw him off a glass balcony a coward.

I'm sorry but the flashback of him holding a child in the apocalypse and glaring at it 😂.

Incase I ever thought I was supposed to like you.

I mean I don't hate Munakata.

I wanna strangle him with his own sword but he's such an interesting character.

"You're resolve was terrifying and than you tucked your tail between your legs."

No he just learned how to act like a functioning human being.

You could learn a thing or two.

I do like the Directors speech to Munakata. Because he's talking to him like he's an equal.

Everyone we see talking to Munakata does so he's a King.

Juzo and Chisa once referred to him as the saviour of Hope's Peak in the despair arc.

Which I personally disagree with.

But you see that very few people talk to Munakata like he's a person.

Makoto tries to but Munakata has never seen Makoto as an equal nor does he like him.

But he does have some respect for the Director.

He's the chairman, he's fought with him.

And the only one who can really talk to Munakata as an equal and hope he might listen.

Makoto worrying about Miaya... Who's gonna tell him...?

Asahina going to fight Juzo, not a fight I expected.

Apparently as a boxer he only fights without weapons for oponnents he respects?

... So when you were beating the shit out of Hajime, it was because you respected him?

Uh huh.

Sure.

Honestly I think Asahina can take him. I just believe in my girl.

Also Juzo, can you give an answer that doesn't involve Munakata? Like why are you doing this, just you.

I get it's because you follow him, but you have you're own thoughts my guy.

Back to Seiko vs Izayoi.

I never thought I'd see so many fights in Danganronpa.

"Someone didn't listen to me."

To be fair Seiko, that could be anyone.

No one listens to you, it's kinda sad honestly.

Ruruka you are competing with Munakata for the most bizzare take of the series.

Seiko can't eat sweets and yeah maybe she could've asked about them. But you only ever ask her to do things for you.

Did you ever talk to her, like without needing something?

Ever bring up your talent that wasn't in a way to make her feel bad for not eating sweets?

... Of course not because you're guys friendship is the miscommunication trope.

I'm sorry you get no sympathy from me.

I can't believe I'm saying that but your making Munakata sound like a functioning human being.

And that's saying a lot.

Annnd they found out Seiko's forbidden action.... Fuck.

Back to Director and Munakata.

Ohhh ohhhh we're mentioning the Kamakura project, are we?

He's right though, Munakata's line of thinking is very similiar to what you'd expect the thought behind the Kamakura project was.

Munakata has outranked Ruruka in the insane takes fight, as he denies all of this and goes to kill the Director.

Because clearly this man telling me killing people for hope is bad and is impaled and slowly dying.

Using his last words to try and talk to me as a person, must the one killing people.

... How did this guy pass primary school? Never mind secondary school.

Yasuhiro my dude you don't want to come in here.

Although to be fair... Might be better than what you're going through.

Building shakes and Izayoi's found a secret Monkuma entrance.

Ruruka saying she'll spare Seiko's life if she has a sweet.

Knowing that will kill her... What is wrong with you?

And saying she'll spare her of Seiko kills Munakata, like she's gonna die either way.

Seiko don't, don't do this.

Also Ruruka you calling Munakata a self righteous bastard, while correct is incredible hypocritical of you.

Okay I get Seiko being on Munakata's side, she was expelled from Hope's Peak and he gave her a chance when no one else would.

Makes sense.

Destroying the lights so, that's one way of getting rid of your weakness.

Ruruka, Seiko would have still been your friend if you hadn't taken advantage of her.

And listened to her.

Seiko just wanted a friend.

It's a shame they couldn't have expressed that but it's too late, too much damage

I do like this inner monologue of both of them realising just how much the other meant to them.

God their friendship really is the miscommunication trope.

But I think it's too late.

Monaca back as Miaya just firing weapons and in doing so, allowing Asahina and Makoto to escape Juzo.

Just what is your game here, Monaca?

Unfortunately it knocked out Seiko.

I appreciate Kyoko trying to do detective work throughout all of this.

Munakata if you just waited 5 minutes the Directors gonna die anyway.

You really don't need to do this.

And I get why he'd accuse the Director but it just feels like he's gonna kill him because someone disagreed with him.

Than any actual belief he thinks the Director is the traitor.

"This is not the time nor the place for a mental sparring match, Chairman."

... That what the hell have we be doing for the past 2 episodes?

You're just mad he called you're argument, simple minded.

... Wait!

Waaaait.

The director knows who the attacker is?!

... Fucking hell... If he says the wrong person that he's just signed their death warrant.

Of course we have no idea but Munakata does.

Fuck.

This is not the person who you give that information too.

... And the Director's forbidden action was to answer a question with a lie.

That's smart, that's really smart.

I wondered why he always said I'm answering truthfully.

Holyshit.

... Munakata still thinking he's lying and killing him, what the fuck.

Man is insane.

Like I always try to hear him out, even if I definitely don't agree.

But man, even getting the answer from a man who can't lie, you can't believe him?

Because you have to be right?

My first guess is Chisa

This man doesn't care or have a reaction to anyone but Chisa.

But than Chisa is already dead so it can't be her?

And why would she be the first kill if she's the traitor.

And it can't be Juzo cos he'd have killed Makoto thrice over if it was him instead of Gozu.

And Monaca is still here, so it could just be her.

Soo its a mystery.

And this marks the true decent into madness for Munakata.

Annnd the Director is dead.

Seiko's back to normal, and crying cos she couldn't help anyone.

This poor girl.

Wonder what Cure W is.

And the timers hit 0.

Sleepy time.

Awkward noodle friend!

First of all I'd also like to publicly announce that your OCs are so cool and I'm loving all the little puzzle pieces of information we're currently getting on your blog 👌✨

And then I'd also have a question about them! How are their relationships with the cannon obey me characters? Are some of them good friends, or absolute rivals, maybe?

Oh, and also with Camy, of course! I wouldn't ever forget my precious shy bean, don't you worry 💕

(I really really hope this hasn't been asked before, if so I'd love to see the post about it ☺️)

Impacciata amica spaghetto!

I'm so sorry about seeing your ask just now,I apologize😥I hope I haven't kept you waiting for too long🙈also thank you for the compliments on my OCs😳you're too kind☺💜

Regarding your question,I think I've already been asked a similar question in an old post of mine🤔it should be this one if you're interested:

still,I don't mind specifying some more information about their relationships with the canon characters✨even with Camy this time, since I've never written anything about that (you're so sweet Koni😭💖thank you for thinking about my MC too🙈💜I wasn't expecting that-)

This will be long,so in this post I will write for the Seven Brothers and MC only,I hope that's okay😥if you want to know RAD classmates relationships with the Now Dateables and the New Characters too,you can sent another ask if you're interested🙈now let's get started!

HOW ARE RAD CLASSMATES'S RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CANON OBEY ME CAST?

HOUSE OF LAMENTATION

-Lucifer

Demya honestly doesn't like Lucifer very much and even if she tries to hide it behind a cheeky behavior,his presence makes her a little anxious. The punishments Lucifer's quite famous for bring back bad memories of her childhood spent in a freak show in the human world,so when she gets in trouble,she tends to avoid him as best as she can. He's too strict for Demya's tastes and she almost feels sorry for his brothers and for MC

Domnra seems pretty indifferent towards Lucifer,but he's actually slightly jealous of the authority he manages to impose without effort and the fact that he seems to be perfect at everything,which Domnra never was,not even when he was still an angel. Mobim on the other hand is intimidated by Lucifer,even if it doesn't often have a reason to be,since it is a kind and quiet creature. Mobim usually hides behind Domnra when Lucifer approaches,especially if he seems angry

Azul doesn't mind teasing Lucifer and it honestly makes everyone think he has a death wish,but the thing is that Azul doesn't care about the consequences. He knows that as long as he doesn't do anything extreme, the most he can get is a warning and still, he knows he's more than capable of escaping if that was the case. He also has no problem admitting that Lucifer is attractive,Azul just has no shame

Zuri respects Lucifer and his position,she considers him a decent leader and appreciates independent people like herself. In fact among the RAD classmates,excluding Azul who occasionally disturbs the demon,Zuri's probably the closest to Lucifer,the only one who can be considered "friend" of the eldest brother. Their conversations consist mostly of small talk about work or complaining about being often surrounded by idiots,all the while sharing a bottle of Demonus or a cup of tea,like two stressed parents

Odon likes Lucifer,even if according to them,he should try to smile a little more. They're sure that like all demons,angels and humans,he too would have a nice smile,everyone is special in their own way and he shouldn't fear to show himself more for what he is and not for the role he has to play. Odon would like to make friends with everyone,however they sensed that Lucifer doesn't trust an ancient and mysterious demon like themselves,so as much as it hurts them,they try to keep their distance. If Lucifer ever changed his mind,Odon wouldn't mind sharing a cup of tea with him

-Mammon

Demya thinks Mammon is cool and several times they found themselves scamming people together to get what they wanted, in fact they gave each other a hand occasionally. For example, if Demya attracted rich people with her beauty, making them shell out a lot of money and then leave them empty-handed, Mammon made sure to get as many meat dishes as possible for her. After all, Demya doesn't really care about money, it's just an added bonus, so she doesn't mind making this kind of trade. Also it isn't uncommon to see her teasing Mammon about his crush on MC, as she has noticed that the demon becomes much more shy and awkward in their presence, she thinks that's funny

Domnra isn't very close to Mammon,the most he has done with the demon is a few chats during gym class at RAD. However Domnra doesn't seem hostile towards him,despite how shoert-tempered he is,and for a good reason. Once Mobim had wandered off in search for flowers and Domnra went looking for it,it wouldn't have taken long with their bond after all,but what surprised him was seeing Mammon comforting a sad Mobim in a voice one would use with a kitten. Once in the open,both demons were embarrassed and promised never to talk about the accident again,but considering that other demons would have hurt Mobim instead without thinking twice,Domnra can't help feeling a touch of respect towards Mammon

Azul is a little bastard and loves to scare Mammon by randomly appearing through walls or mirrors,because he's the demon who give Azul the most fun with his reactions. However Azul isn't completely heartless and sometimes he makes it up to Mammon by offering help with stealing stuff or with homework involving curses and hexes. Once he even offered Mammon flirting lessons,to use with MC if he wanted,but the demon of greed didn't take it very well

Zuri meets Mammon occasionally when she receives proposals to be a stylist or a model with important brands and while at work he seems professional,Zuri doesn't appreciate how loud Mammon can be outside of it,she finds such behavior annoying. She thinks he's wasting his potential,because she's seen what he's capable of if he really puts in the effort. Zuri doesn't trust him very much though,because she knows he would have no problem stealing from her,but she has to admit that since Mammon rarely transforms,he was a good choice as MC's guardian

Odon finds Mammon funny and full of life and would very much like to become his friend,because they can feel that he too has good in him,unlike other demons they've encountered in their long life. Odon isn't stupid and they know that Mammon is terrified by their size and figure,so they try to appear as friendly and harmless as possible,to make him feel at ease. Once they even managed to play cards with Mammon,who lost every single time (due to the eye-like creatures spying on his cards). Luckily Odon was kind enough not to bet anything

-Leviathan

Demya struggles to remember Levi,because she barely sees him in class,let alone outside,so she doesn't have a clear opinion about him. Demya knows she can easily convince him to do stuff for her by being nice and cute like an anime girl and she figures they might share the trait of being jealous demons,but otherwise they don't have much in common. One thing is for sure though:she thinks Lotan is cool as hell and one day she would like to ride them

Domnra deems Levi weak in terms of physical strength as he barely trains while Domnra is seen as a normie tsundere delinquent in Levi's eyes,so it's no surprise that the two of them have hardly ever spoken. However Domnra noticed that Levi occasionally look at Mobim as if it was some cute anime mascot,all the while muttering "kawaii" or other anime references unfamiliar to him. He finds such behavior quite weird

Azul is an online friend of Levi and they occasionally meet to draw together, simp about their favourite characters or show off their cosplays. It seems shocking considering how different the two demons are,but they share some hobbies and kind of complement each other,for example:Azul doesn't mind asking for autographs or whatever when Levi is too shy to,while Levi keeps Azul calm with his long and enthusiastic speeches about his favourite topics,those keep Azul too occupied to suddenly change mood

Zuri admires Levi's passion for his hobbies and the way he manages to convey it to others,she believes that the effort he puts into cosplay is remarkable,because in a certain sense it's still style,however Zuri doesn't often assist to his fanatic speeches,as Levi seems quite intimidated or in awe in her presence. She isn't sure which of the two options is the correct one

Odon knows Levi thanks to what their eye-like creatures have told them,but they have met him in person just few times and the few times it happened,cell phones and computers were involved. Odon,being very old,isn't a great expert in modern technology,so as an excuse,they sometimes ask Levi for help. Moreover, Levi often compare them to some anime characters and even if Odon doesn't know what he's talking about,they appreciate that Levi isn't afraid to express his opinion

-Satan

Demya thinks Satan's a bit of a nerd and she doesn't like that talking to him makes her feel dumber that usual,but despite everything she still finds him kinda cute,especially when he's in feral mode,because Demya has somewhat strange tastes. She also finds amusing that their tails are similar and even if it doesn't matter much,she appreciates that he isn't a fan of Lucifer

Domnra and Satan both have anger issues,so they understand what if feels like and sometimes they go out together to either vent or blow off steam. It's strange seeing one of the smartest students of RAD and one of the delinquents in class together,but their "problem" has brought them closer and made them friends. Domnra focuses more on the physic while Satan on the mind,but one thing they've in common is the love for cute things. Once Satan put a kitty costume on Mobim,in spite of Domnra

Azul is friends with Domnra, so it's no wonder he has tried to be friends with Satan as well, he finds his reactions very funny, especially when he's angry. Other than that, Azul would probably be an interesting subject for Satan to study, especially because he has never seen demons with Azul's characteristic ability, i.e. changing color depending on feelings, but he probably wouldn't give Satan any explanation about it,just to tease him a bit

Zuri knows about Satan's story and is aware that mentioning the eldest brother's name gets him upset, so to avoid any headaches from his screams, she tends to avoid mentioning that name in his presence. Leaving aside this detail, she believes that Satan's very intelligent, but that at the same time he's also too insecure of his identity and that he should begin to understand that his brother is not a threat as he seems. The only criticism she can make against Satan is his way of dressing

Odon knows a great deal about Devildom, having been born before the seven brothers and having spent their long life there. They have witnessed events written in history books, both in Devildom and in the human world, so they're very well educated from that point of view. The relationship with Satan seems to be that of a student and a tutor, he can ask Odon anything historical and they would probably be able to provide Satan with an answer, having experienced it firsthand. He also seems interested in the eye-like creatures that they have and since Lucifer doesn't like Odon very much, it's another reason for Satan to talk to them

-Asmodeus

Demya likes to go shopping with Asmo and likes to gossip about other lesser demons with him, she thinks he's fun, so they're friends, but casual ones. They often meet at parties or on the streets of Devildom and while Asmo may appreciate Demya's sense of style, he wouldn't appreciate her rough and feral ways, such as gobbling up on food or having no problem getting her hands dirty. For example, Demya, unlike Asmo, doesn't mind messing up her hair or getting scars on her skin

Domnra only knows Asmo by fame, since the demon of lust has a lot of followers among demons and witches on Devilgram, but otherwise he has never really spoken to him,Domnra finds him "too much" for his tastes and being used to being surrounded by other party animals, he doesn't need another reason to have a headache. Mobim isn't sure what to feel towards Asmo, he seems to Mobim a very extravagant demon, but being a very empathetic creature, it perceives that Asmo hides some insecurities, so it doesn't know if how he shows himself in public is an act or less and if so,Mobim doesn't think it would be able to reassure him

Azul usually meets Asmo during the parties held in The Fall and occasionally finds him at Madame Scream's, when he's there to buy sweets. Being both quite popular, they know each other and are also quite friends, even if there's a casual flirting every now and then, but just for fun. Sometimes they make duets and other times they help each other with makeup, but Azul often doesn't miss the opportunity to scare Asmo and make him ruin everything

Zuri knows Asmo because of her connection to the fashion world, so from that point of view, they interact every now and then. She acknowledges that stylistically, Asmo is a professional, but otherwise she finds him quite childish and capricious when he doesn't get what he wants. She's worked hard to get to where she's now and would like Asmo to understand that beauty it's not enough and that everything shouldn't be granted to him just for his looks, but that his commitment should be the most important thing

Odon usually wanders around isolated places so as not to frighten other lesser demons, so it's very unlikely to see Asmo for them,but the few times Odon has shown up in more crowded places,they were able to talk to him. Odon thinks that Asmo has no idea exactly who they are,because on their first encounter he tried to flirt with them. The results weren't what Asmo hoped for, since Odon didn't understand his intentions, but they appreciated the casual chat in any case. The two demons know each other only by sight though, since they frequent different places

-Beelzebub

Demya and Beel are the duo that all Devildom's restaurants fear, considering the amount of food they swallow every day, so seeing them together in a restaurant is equivalent to the eventual failure of the latter. They're good friends and Demya appreciates that Beel doesn't judge her appetite,she knows what it's like to try to fill a void with food. Furthermore,the two occasionally train together, even if they do different exercises: Beel with weights and Demya with flexibility. Also Demya tries to protect Beel from people who try to take advantage of his kindness

Domnra is in some sports clubs with Beel and it happens a few times that the two demons chat. In his presence Domnra has no reason to be angry, he respects Beel's tranquility and strength, he's a very strong demon in Domnra's opinion,however his appetite reminds him too much of Demya,who he dislikes. Not gonna lie, but Domnra once feared Beel might eat Mobim and he's never been more terrified in his life

Azul hardly ever spoke to Beel, although he occasionally saw him eating in sweets shops, thus depriving Azul of the chance of buying something for himself. Maybe the reason they don't interact much is because Azul finds him quite boring, being apathetic most of the time, so it's hard to get interesting emotional reactions from Beel. Sometimes Azul can try to prank him by creating food illusions, but Beel doesn't seem to fall for it too often

Zuri knows about Beel based on what Lucifer told her about him, so she knows that the sixth brother is quite gluttonous, but also kind-hearted and devoted to his family, qualities Zuri appreciates, but that at the same time they remind her a bit of her angel days, which she would rather not think about. Zuri and Beel have talked to each other a few times, but not having much in common, their conversations go no further

Odon shares a bond with their eye-like creatures similar to the one Beel shares with Belphegor, so they feel a little closer to him in this aspect, however Beel asked Odon how they knew this information, but Odon just smiled and explained that it was a mere guess. Both demons are quite tall, so they appreciate not having to bend down to talk face-to-face. Also Odon has noticed that Beel doesn't seem to fear them, which relieves them. Odon likes it when Beel tells them about his family, because Odon has never had one and doesn't know what it feels like to have one

-Belphegor

Demya knows Belphie through Beel and is in fact quite friends with him. To Belphie Demya is somewhat similar to Beel and those few times when Demya's tired,they take naps together. The two have also silently made an agreement, namely to protect Beel from demons or witches with bad intentions

Domnra met Belphie probably through Satan, during a meeting of the Anti-Lucifer League. The two demons get along quite well and Domnra likes Belphie's sarcasm and style, but maybe he's a little jealous of the fact that he always gets good grades despite almost always sleeping in class. Mobim doesn't mind being a pillow for Belphie, as long as the demon doesn't choke it in his sleep

Azul, again, has never interacted much with Belphie. He considers him boring, since interacting with him is practically impossible, with rhe demon being always asleep. The only thing that Azul noticed that he has in common with Belphie is the love for the stars and perhaps it could be a good conversation starter for the two of them

Zuri likes hardworking, resourceful people who show at least a modicum of passion in what they do and unfortunately Belphie does not fall into this category. She knows he's the demon of sloth and she doesn't blame him for this of course, but Zuri considers Belphie too lazy and doesn't think it's appropriate to walk around as if he were always wearing pajamas

Odon is the only one among the RAD classmates who knows about the little "accident" between Belphie and MC, although it's unknown exactly how the eye-like creatures learned about it. The two demons hardly interact, but occasionally Odon sees Belphie sleeping near the Devildom woods when they walk alone. If Belphie so wanted, Odon would be more than happy to explain what they know about constellations and dreams

-Camy (my MC)

Demya doesn't know exactly what to think of Camy,being a very different person from her: introvert, shy and who prefers not to leave the House of Lamentation. She considers her a reliable and patient human considering that she has to deal with seven demons everyday and every now and then she happens to meet Camy hanging out with Mammon. In those moments Demya likes to embarrass them both with their obvious feelings towards each other. She finds them a cute couple

Domnra was quite unaware of Camy's existence at first, as her presence was hardly noticeable in class, but he started paying more attention to her when she started learning magic from a certain sorcerer. He's surprised that a human from so low has landed in the position Camy is currently in,but he has to admit that he's found a newfound respect for her, even for the pacts she's managed to make. The only times they interact is when Mobim happily greets Camy, not considering the human a dangerous person

Azul would like to make friends with Camy,since she's Levi's best friend and since they have some hobbies in common,but the human seems to avoid him and Azul thinks it's due to his unstable nature. For this reason, to make her feel more at ease,Azul tries to interact with Camy only online and only when Levi's also present, so it should be easier to chat. Azul thinks she's charming in her own weird way and he would like to play tricks on her,but he doesn't want seven demons after him so he avoids acting like an idiot for once

Zuri admires Camy's commitment to her duties at RAD, and the fact that she's a human exchange student makes her efforts all the more worthy of credit. Zuri doesn't dare imagine what it's like to live with the seven deadly sins, so she has a hunch as to why the human has such pronounced eyebags. Zuri tried talking to her with Lucifer present, but the human seemed quiet and uncomfortable,perhaps because she wasn't used to the presence of other demons. The only criticism that Zuri feels like making is the way in which the human looks scruffy,Camy doesn't seem to care about her appearance

Odon considers Camy a curious human being,strong from a mental point of view and with a great willpower. In her place, several humans would have already gone crazy with what she had to go through, with what she experienced there in Devildom, so they don't understand how she can be so insecure of herself. Camy was uncomfortable when they met for the first time, but she wasn't scared and Odon isn't surprised,considering that the human risked death several times. If Camy's alone on the streets of Devildom,Odon offers to escort her. They'are close acquaintances and that's enough for Odon

I was pretty indifferent toward Elain’s character and then at some point the ship wars made me a bit annoyed of her (not the characters fault) which was crazy bc I never truly disliked her. But I still felt like I didn’t know her no matter how much ppl explained her character. So… after having a good mental break from the internet I came back to see if anyone could analyze her character in a way that made sense to me & wasn’t repetitive or preachy. I just… didn’t want fandom nonsense to affect how I felt about a character, esp one who I knew nothing about (and when it’s regarding a ship bc that’s just worse, not to mention v silly!)

Anyway, I came across your blog (and other eluciens) and it has helped me see her character in a way that might not be so easy to notice at first, esp for casual readers (formerly me). It felt like I only ever saw one explanation for why she behaves/reacts a certain way but your blog gives a very diff perspective and I love that bc I couldn’t see it at first. If only I’d ventured out of my gwynriel blogs into elucien blogs back then! I wouldn’t call myself a “Stan” but I do like her very much! And it’s gotten to the point where I now get annoyed when ppl make the same claims about her that i used to think, or they say what’s been said about her for forever. In my head I’m like, “but you don’t know the half of it!” Also, not to mention the fact that it is 100% true that female characters have to “work” a lot harder to be forgiven for even the smallest things and that is absolutely not okay. And idc if it’s a female character (in general) I don’t really like— i still wouldn’t be okay with that.

I’d say biggest thing I got out of your blog (and others) is that I gained a certain amnt of respect for her. And i kno it will only go up for me when her book is out. That was honestly prolly my biggest struggle with her character in the beginning. Her being quiet or enjoying gardening wasn’t a problem to me (although I did wish she’d speak her mind every once in awhile). It was more like.. “Idk what I can respect about her, at least not yet” esp with the comparisons to gwyn. But this is absolutely NOT true for me anymore. I’m finally able to see her outer AND INNER beauty!

I’m so glad though that now I can love both ladies without feeling like they’re up against each other. So thank you!!

Btw the more I think about it the more I’m like.. she reminds me a bit of Penelope from Bridgerton (who I love) so I’m very interested to see her character arc!

Sending lots of love 🫶

Thank you for this message!!! ❤️

It's one of my favorite things to hear, that people that were really not fans of Elain's have come around to her a bit after something I or others might have said.

She's definitely not been as bold as the other FMC SJM has written about and if you like SJMs books, I can understand how that'll turn some people off.

And while she'll never be 100% like Feyre or Nesta or Aelin, you see the little hints that she's already much more than she currently looks to be in the NC.

And I think that's the issue I have with how some view Elain. To them, the thing that makes her happiest is to be gardening and cooking / baking / serving the IC. Where her purpose is to spend her days reassuring Azriel that he's not a big bad man, that he just needs a little love to be the soft gentle boy she knows him as.

And that Elain is horrific to me. I don't read SJM to read about a heroine who's purpose revolves around being a housewife to the male.

There is NOTHING wrong with being a housewife but I'm realistic about what fantasy books with a female POV are about and that's not the point of these kinds of story's. I want to see her grow and become a force to be reckoned with. I don't want her to take a backseat to Azriel, there to make him feel worthy and to tag along for his spy / torture sessions when we get zero hints that's what she wants.

Time will tell but I really hope SJM proves to E/riels that Elain is more than a character used to serve others. A character deserving to have a greater purpose than spending her days reassuring Az over and over that he's not a big bad male whose touch will taint her "immaculate skin". A character deserving of her journey to be told on page and not something that's apparently happened in someone else's book (friends already found, already in love).

Elwing Thingol Turgon 🫶🏻

Elwing

ELWING SWEETHEART. Come here and take this cup of cider while I grab some bricks. This fandom is SO MEAN to Elwing for NO good reason (the reason is basically always to make the Feanorians look better by comparison). The amount of victim-blaming surrounding takes on her character is honestly sickening. Literally she gets blamed for the Feanorians being mass murdering war criminals, for her own suicide, for her children being kidnapped...it's insane! That there are actually people out there sincerely arguing that Maedhros and Maglor--two people who literally slaughtered the Doriathrim to extinction--are better parents for Elrond and Elros than Earendil and Elwing, who loved them and did their best in an extremely difficult situation is fucking whack.

I talked last week about being indifferent to stuff in fandom and growing to hate it because of its ubiquity--I think I've had the opposite response with Elwing. I didn't think about her that much originally but after seeing so many rancid takes I feel I have to counter them by loving her. She deserves all the good things and I hope she has a fab time tending her seaside garden at Tol Eressea and taking rides on Vingilot with Earendil while they wait for Elrond to join them.

Also she has dark hair end of story.

Thingol

Another one who gets it harsh from the fandom though at least for actual reasons, unlike Elwing. I've said it before I'll say it again: While Thingol's choices were not necessarily the best, I don't think any of them were patently unreasonable, save sending Beren on the Silmaril quest (although again, I don't think he ever thought Beren would actually try it). Thingol makes a convenient villain for anyone cheering for Beren and Luthien to get together, so I guess it shouldn't be totally surprising he gets turned into the King Trident of Silm (which ignores the fact he did come around to Luthien's marriage and in fact shows great concern for Beren's safety after his return to Doriath).

But Tolkien also tells us Thingol was a wise and beloved king (neither of which means he made the right choice every time), and I'm so fascinated with his relationship with Melian, theirs being the only example of an Ainu in a relationship with one of the Children. There is so much to explore there.

Also his aesthetic fucks so hard hell yeah forest king let's rock

Turgon

Sending me all the unpopular favs, huh Heather? Turgon I think doesn't get it nearly as bad as the other two, but fanon also tends to portray him as a stodgy kind of asshole with a stick up his butt, which I don't think there's necessarily evidence for. Turgon, like Thingol, is another ruler who made what seemed like reasonable choices at the time, which turned out to be not great choices in the long run. Yeah, ignoring Ulmo was a bad move. But you can see how Turgon was reluctant to leave Gondolin after all the work they had put into it--but also because it seems a little crazy! Leave the walled city that's kept them protected for hundreds of years? And go where? Where is safer than Gondolin? At the time Gondolin falls, it's one of the last safe places in Middle-earth!

I'm also so so attached to his friendship with Finrod, and his relationships with Idril, Aredhel, and Maeglin. I do not at all truck with fanon that says they had a cold or antagonistic relationship; everything we get from Maeglin's chapter of Silm tells us that Turgon loved and respected Maeglin and Maeglin betrayed him anyway and that is so fascinating to me. I want to know what they talked about in Mandos. Aredhel, Maeglin, Elenwe and Turgon are going to sit around and have the most awkward family brunches. Eol is not invited.

Tell us how you feel about each main TLH character.

Oh man! This is gonna be a lot of typing. But sure! Why not. I'll just listen to Fall Out Boy while I type.

Matthew Fairchild -> This man means the world to me. Like, he and I are intrinsically extremely similar Disaster Bis. We have a lot of the same quirks (extreme pettiness, obsession with a specific author's works, overdramatic demeanors, emotional volatility/instability, sensitivity). More than anything something I see in him that I have is what I call "Happy Armor". He acts so happy and bright to mask the fact that he's really struggling because he doesnt want to be a burden, he wants others to be happy, and he is scared of being rejected like I am. So we have this similarity. But in any case, Matthew is such a complex and interesting character, but he's also kind of my best friend too LOL. I'm so excited for his bindup. Like, SO excited. I manifested this for years.

Alastair Carstairs -> Deadass one of the most interesting and complex characters I have ever seen. Ever. He's so interesting to engage with and write about because he feels so real. He's compelling, and you just have to know everything that makes him tick and why. I love his storyline about learning to love yourself even after making mistakes and hurting people because I think it's something we can all relate to. And I DEEPLY respect his strength and resilience as well as his selflessness. He's a good man and one I am so proud of.

Thomas Lightwood -> Honestly probably the TSC character I'd wind up being good friends with if we met. We share a lot of similar interests like languages and travel, and it's cool to see my interests mirrored in him. But I also just really love how kind and good he is, which must be really challenging after losing two (2) loved ones in a 6-month span. I just want him to get a 10-hour-long hug. But I also love the quiet fortitude he always carries himself with. Like, he's gentle, but he's not afraid to speak his mind and will stand up for himself and his loved ones. Love that! I hate how most of the fandom just sees the "nice one" or thinks his personality is just "big,"

Grace Blackthorn -> An amazing, well-crafted morally gray character. I'm so interested in her, and I also feel really attached to her and protective of her. She was in a SHIT situation and literally there wasn't anything else she could have done. You can't convince me she's a monster. She's the one character whose ending I am so ridiculously unsatisfied with. She deserved better, not just as a person but also as the character Cassie crafted.

Christopher Lightwood -> SO pure. SO good. I love how he thinks about the world in ways unique to a Shadowhunter. I really with we'd gotten more scenes with him and Henry. And his death was SO sad. I feel very bad about it. I wish we'd gotten a funeral or something.

Cordelia Carstairs -> I get into her in depth here. But, in the end, I really do like her and admire her bravery. She's clever and strong, which I like. I just wish she'd been a more dynamic character and would like to shake some of the naivete out of her.

James Herondale -> I really do like him, but he's also a very static character. Not a lot of growth happens, but he's a good person. Still, I more enjoy him for his dynamics with those around him, specifically Matthew.

Ari Bridgestock -> She's so cool. I just wish she had some storylines independently of Anna. I'd be interested to see more of her with other characters like Grace or Alastair. I'd also like to see some moments with her family or where she connects with her culture. It's just annoying that we only really get her for ship reasons because I think she could do better than Anna. That's why she's so far down on the list. It's not her fault.

Lucie Herondale -> I'm super indifferent to Lucie at this point. She's nice and has her funny moments, but I don't find her super three-dimensional or compelling.

Anna Lightwood -> I don't like her at all, sorry. I DO like her dynamic with Matthew and enjoy seeing them together, mainly because I think of her as an interesting person for Matthew to talk with. But I'm just... disappointed? Because Anna was a character I looked forward to a lot and she turned out to kinda be the lesbian equivelant of a fuckboy. I'd have liked her better if she'd actually had some growth in ChoT or buried the ledger, but she "likes everything she has and approves of everything she's done," so. She's only above Jesse because she has some interesting interactions with Matthew.

Jesse Blackthorn -> He's down here because I don't think I enjoyed a single scene with him in ChoT. The way he treated Grace really soured me to him, and he fell really flat and one-dimensional anyway. Not a fan at this point :/

Bonus:

Charles Fairchild -> I'm having the exact reaction Cassie wanted me to and I simultaneously love that for her and hate that for me. She did a really good job of writing him. This character has 0 redeeming qualities and also has the added shittiness of having seriously mistreated one of my all-time fave characters. Like, I hate this man as a human being. And YET. Yet. I still manage to sympathize with him in ChoT. He was put in a really tight spot for something that he shouldn't have been targeted for and got a bad lot. No one deserves that.

HOME ━ PLATONIC!C. FRASER

SYNOPSIS → in which you find a home at frasers ridge

WORD COUNT → 1,752 words

WARNINGS → injury, broken leg

A/N → i don't really like this, but i gave it my best shot. i don't know why things like this is so hard to write!

This backfired quickly. It was meant to be a quick trip; visit your mother (at her vehement request), say hello, stay a couple nights, and go back home.

But of course, that plan was thrown out almost immediately. You had made it to your mothers, all the way up in North Carolina. Your mother had tried to convince you to move back with her and your father, as always, and your father treated you with the cold indifference he does now. Ever since you moved away (single too, how scandalous), he had treated you with the utmost indifference. To him, you were a disappointment. He had been trying to marry you off for almost three years, to which you had refuted by discouraging your suitors.

Each and every boy – or the occasionally two decades older man – had been discouraged. There was a Mr. Thomas Whittle – a young blonde who aspired to the next Shakespeare, you hadn’t found him to be awful, per say, just . . . immature –, a Mr. Will William (a truly awful name) - an older man who had wanted to find a younger wife who could mother his teenaged son from his former marriage, and another woman to have more children with -, a Mr. Christopher Mungo – a middle-aged man who simply wanted a woman to warm his bed -, and many, many more. The most memorable one had been Mr. Lloyd Jackson – a man your age – who had been truly awful. The man had been the most disgusting and cruel of all men. No matter how much you had tried to discourage him, he had been adamant to marry you, declaring that he would be the one to teach you manners, and how to be a proper lady of society.

He was the reason you left home. You couldn’t marry him; you wouldn’t allow yourself to be shoved under a man’s – especially a man like him – thumb. You know that a woman is meant to marry a respectable man, have children left, right, and center. You know, but that is not what you want. You want to travel the world, have a life of your own before you get married and have children. You didn’t want what everyone else wanted for you.

You’re living that life now. You haven’t seen the world yet, but you’ve made a life for yourself. You’re a seamstress in New York, working until your able to get passage to travel to Ireland. You have a great aunt there, that you haven’t seen since you were a little girl, and you’ve missed her.

Anyway, back to how your plan completely, and truly backfired.

First, your mother had convinced you to stay another two days, saying that she “doesn’t see her eldest daughter, whom she loves so very much, enough.” Then, your younger sister, Amy, had wanted to spend a full day with you, and only you without your parents. So, you spent an extra three days in North Carolina, when you were supposed to be well on your way back to New York.

Then, when you finally were able to leave, you were almost a day into the journey, when you had tripped over a tree root. A tree. Root.

Honestly, you’re kind of astonished by yourself.

And that brings you back to the present from your recollection of the week from hell. You’re sitting up against a tree, your leg clearly broken – for the second time in your life, mind you –, exhausted and in agonizing pain. You had forgotten how much breaking your leg can hurt. You don’t know how long you’ve been sitting here; you really should have borrowed a horse from your parents, like your mother had tried to convince you to. Bad idea on your part. Really.

You mess with a couple of leaves that lay beside you. You’re really tired, now that you think about it. What time is it? It can’t be that late, the sun is beating down on you.

But you’re so tired. A little nap won’t hurt anything.

Claire Fraser and Brianna Randall were collecting herbs for the first time in a while. The sun was shining, and they were having fun. They just reaching the area where the needed herbs were when they saw a young woman passed out against a tree truck. Her leg was bent to a side that it wasn’t meant to be; obviously broken.

The mother-daughter duo rushed over to her; Claire immediately dropped to her knees beside the young woman, and pressed her hand to the young woman’s head. She had a fever, and was shaking. Bree sat next to her mother, concern flooding her as she looked at the young woman who was her own age.

“What do you need?” Bree asks.

“We need to get back to the house, I have what we’ll need there.”

When you woke up, pain laced every inch of your body. You felt like you were on fire, everything hurt – and that was putting it mildly.

You wince as you lean up, or well try to. Before you can even get your chest up, you collapsing back in agony. Your head smashes against the wall, instantly causing a pounding. You groan, immediately bringing your hands up to your head.

Dear God, what in the ever-loving hell?

You just can’t catch a blasted break. All you had to do was visit your family briefly – briefly, not for almost an entire month! - and go home. This entire blasted affair, was not meant happen. You were meant to be home, catching up on a few jobs.

Instead, you’re - you’re . . . where exactly are you? You’re not in the woods, where you fell asleep. You’re certainly not in New York, and you’re not with your mother.

So, where are you?

“Oh, good,” a woman said, startling you from your thoughts, “you’re awake!”

You can only stare at the woman, shocked, and slightly scared. “Who are you?” you ask, warily.

“I’m Claire Fraser,” the woman responds, a gentle smile on her face “My daughter and I found you unconscious in the woods. Your legs definitely broken, and you developed a small cold from sleeping there.” You stare at her, shocked. Any other person would have just left you; they wouldn’t have brought you back to their home. “You’re at Fraser Ridge.”

“Oh, like,” you swallow harshly, “Mr. Jamie Fraser?”

“You know my husband?” Mrs. Fraser asked, arching an eyebrow at you. She walked closer to you, fiddling with something in her hands.

“I know of him. My father is F/N L/N,”

“Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ.”

You nod slowly, dread filling every part of you. Your father and Jamie Fraser had known each other when they were kids and during Culloden. Long story short, they didn’t like each other. And that was saying it lightly.

“Well,” Mrs. Fraser says, sitting down beside you on the bed, “that doesn’t matter right now. How is your leg feeling?”

It’s been almost two months, and you’ve been staying with the Fraser’s since. Your leg has gotten better, but, according to Claire, is not yet ready for strenuous actions, like walking back to New York.

Your stay hasn’t been awful, in fact, it’s been quite enjoyable. Jamie Fraser had been wary of you when you first arrived, but had grown accustomed to you. Brianna, Jamie and Claire’s daughter, has become a good friend of yours, although her and her mother seem to have knowledge that no else knows or understands.

The Fraser family were a kind and lovely family, and you had grown to enjoy the time you’ve spent with them. You’re not looking forward to when it’s time for you to leave.

You’ve been at Frasers Ridge for five months, and your finally able to make the journey back home.

You’ve been dreading this day for the last two weeks, ever since you had started to make plans for the journey. It had started with a simple question at the dinner table; “Have you been thinking about going home,” Ian had asked almost two weeks ago.

It had been a simple question, yet one that you had had no answer for. After that, you had felt that you needed to make plans. So, you had, you’ve been preparing to take your leave.

The thought of leaving caused a weight to lay on your chest, it felt like you were being crushed by a horse. You felt sort of numb as you packed away the few belongings that you had.

Claire had given you a bag to pack your belongings, and a food. All you felt was dread as you finished packing; you were going back home, to a life where you worked your hands raw, rarely speaking with anyone other than the other women you worked with, and being completely and utterly alone.

The last few months that you’ve lived with the Frasers were the best months you’ve had in years. You didn’t feel alone here. You felt accepted, and cared for – and sometimes, even loved. You haven’t felt loved in years.

A know on the corner of the door brought you out of your thoughts, causing you to bring your eyes up to the woman leaning against the doorway.

“Hi,” Claire says, a gentle smile on her face, “I thought we should talk before you left.”

You scoot down the bed, giving the woman room to sit next you. She sat down, and turned to face you. The two of you stared at each other in silence before Claire spoke again, “What are you going to do when you get back to New York?”

“What I did before I came here, work as a seamstress?” You were confused, Claire knew what you did already, in fact she had loved your designs so much that you sewed a new dress for her.

“No,” Claire gently grabs your hand, “I mean, what will you do for company? You can’t only work every day.”

“Oh, I don’t mind. It gives me something to do.”

Claire sighs, “I don’t think you should leave. We love having you here, and – and I’ll miss you.”

You look at the woman who has treated you more like a daughter than your own mother has. She has made you feel more at home than your family, and certainly more than New York ever has. You didn’t want to leave.

You wanted to stay at Frasers Ridge. You wanted to stay home.

“I’ll stay.”

10 / 19 / 37 & 45 for miss diana and wesker 👀💜

10. who drives? cooks? does the handiwork? cleans? pays the bills? handles the public?

he drives. 100% no question. whenever he gets in a car with her he probably fears for his life to be honest. diana isn't a bad driver, she's just not a good one lmao honestly though i think she just trusts him more to drive because something something too many variables outside of her control. for him though it's like the opposite perspective, where he feels like their safety is more in his control by being behind the wheel. if that makes sense? it does in my brain. anyway, i think she's always been very indifferent about driving and only ever got her license for work, so she's more than fine with him taking the reins there

cooking and handiwork is more his thing as well. they're both good at cooking, but he does it more often, and a lot of their early dates were him inviting her over for dinner, you know, cause like the acts of service of it all... i just think he takes a lot more care with it because i see him as being kind of a health freak, not gonna lie, so like preparing nice nutritional meals for them both is his thing. handiwork i'm assuming means things like fixing what breaks in the house or like putting together furniture or something right? which i mean... can you really see diana doing that?

cleaning and paying the bills are both split even between them. they're both very neat and tidy, almost annoyingly so, therefore they both always clean up after themselves and also just probably have constant like routines to keep the house clean. it's funny though cause diana teases him about how much of a perfectionist he is when like making the bed or something, but she's literally the exact same. paying the bills as well, like they both have a lot of money from both of their upbringings and then their jobs, so i think they both take care of their own individual bills, and then the ones with any of their houses like i think they just split the responsibilities there

i'd say he probably handles the public. diana is just not as good with people as he is because she can't be bothered speaking with others, it's kind of a waste of time to her unless she considers the person worthy of her attention. he's been in job positions where he needs to work with people and make those around him trust him, so he learned to manipulate people easily over time and comes off as more reliable and charismatic, no matter how much contempt he feels for whoever he's talking to

19. what do they fight about? what are their arguments like? how do they make up?

they don't really fight that often in all honesty, and if they do it's usually just little moments of bickering that they laugh over afterwards. the only big fight they've ever had was like ten years after they got married, so i mean like that should say something about just how much they value communication and discussing whenever they have a problem with one another. and the only reason they fought that time was because they let things build up and didn't talk as much as usual because of how obsessive they got with their work, and that led to emotional outbursts

in terms of the little like bickering fights they've had, it's always something so stupid, like when they first moved in together for example, diana had rearranged his cupboards and it was like hell on earth for him cause they may both be really organised, but their organisation methods were very different, so it was these little annoyed comments like oh what have you done with this? etc etc you know? or like cooking together too is also like okay you need to get out of the kitchen or i'm going to kill you for real. it's always something to do with the other kind of challenging their methods of doing things, if that makes sense lmao

their way of making up is usually just like one of them standing there trying not to smile at the other getting really annoyed, then they both start laughing because they realise how stupid it was that they got angry in the first place. or like one of them leaving the room then coming back not even half an hour later to just wrap their arms around the other and apologise. with their big fight, they had to take an actual break from each other, then diana went back to africa and they sat for ages and just talked... about where they'd gone wrong, how things had changed, that they should never have reacted the way they did, all of it and then they just cuddled all night lmao cause they missed each other a lot

37. how much would they be willing to sacrifice? any lines they refuse to cross?

everything. literally everything. they've betrayed their companies for each other after all... well, kind of. his loyalties for umbrella had been wavering for years, but once diana was targeted by them – despite her actually being a threat to company secrets – he chose her over them. she told him to kill her, put her whole life on the line for him, because she believed she deserved it for lying to him for so long over her true employers, but he stayed by her side and eventually joined her company and left umbrella. then when the organisation suspected both of their loyalties and pit them against each another, they left what were really profitable positions to go and work as researchers in a new company that he'd been working with in secret

after he "died" diana gave up everything to bring him back. she could have profited off the empire they had built and taken it into her own hands, or she could've even gone and worked for his sister, but instead she went underground and abandoned any idea of power for herself to take him back to an old abandoned facility and spent years that she could've been working on her own research dedicated to finding a way to bring him back. funnily enough an ideal she never really believed in before she met him became more important to her than what she'd spent her whole life doing

45. any special dreams or goals they have as a couple? any heartbreaks? regrets?

already answered!

send me a ship and a number and i'll tell you!

#ily rena thank youuu!! 💖 it's the weird little guys!! forever apologising for my essay answers... i have many thoughts and feelings about #them so yeah at all times i have so much to say!!#pair: ewskers #oc: diana #asks.#aartyom

fate zero sucks

Fate/Zero is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive edgy bullshit and DARKNESS. The normal moron can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

this is the worst emo edgy bullshit i`ve ever saw in my whole fucking life this is fucking depressing and edgy also everything urobuchi writes are some edgy pretentious pile of horseshit pretentious that makes some fuckers think they are smart and mature for watching and reading his edgy and pretentious garbage like fate zero which is a pile of edgy shit and saya no uta which also edgy garbage some losers think urobuchi stories are deep and mature but in reality his stories are just some edgy and pretentious pile of fucking shit the characters are shit and fucking emo saber backstory in zero and stay night are most edgy depressing emo bullshit her self-hate makes me wanna punch the fucking screen i prefer saber in ubw and other fate spinoffs lancer backstory edgy bullshit and emo nuff said kiritsugu jesus christ he is the worst fucking character his backstory is the most fucking depressing emo pile of shit i`ve ever seen in my fucking life this character is the most edgy pile of shit and this backstory is fucking dogshit and He has absolutely NO redeeming qualities to speak of. A man who is willing to betray his own family (I'll leave it at that as to not spoil anything) solely for his own personal gain. There is literally no reason to root for him, and honestly if I had cared about any of the other characters, I would've rooted against him.

Why did he kill HIS FOSTER MOM and why did he kill his father without thinking twice? I don't believe it can be settled with "you're the only guy who can do this because you can", it makes no fucking sense whatsoever, he isn't human, the characters aren't human, just a massive cluster of edgy shit with somewhat.

and the Edgelord levels. The way that some characters suffer before they die are unjustified and it's only a resource to get audience's attention. Also there are filler episodes in order to show this suffering, in other words, more edgelord shit. The philosophy of the show. Is simple, retarded and childish at the same time (in the context of the show): If you kill, you are a bad person. So if I kill someone with the same attitude as Hitler, I am automatically a bad person no matter how many lives I have saved by doing that.

the ending is fucking shit its the most edgy fucking pile of shit.

only the good characters were waver and rider.

look i like games like manhunt, manhunt is dark but not edgy emo or depressing the game is violent and gory but not edgy emo or depressing but this anime is just edgy depressing fucking emo, I fail to understand why people praise this literal piece of shit, because I can't define it with anything else but shit, when it's but a generic, boring, cringey and nonsenical shows for edgy kids.

nobody wanna feel misery like this urobuchi motherfucker And after having watched this I saw juvenile shounen-like Fate/Stay Night anime series from 2006. It's almost beyond my belief that people (as of late 2023) rate Fate/Zero so well and F/SN so badly. Yes, 2006 anime is cliched. Its stereotypical high-school protagonist is shit too much. There is a generic romance plot. Hell, the whole coming-of-mage plot is ultra generic. And yes, it's more light-hearted. But still I liked it more, even though I was spoiled by prequel. The creators of Fate Zero failed to notice that it's not enough to be "darker and edgier" to have a good plot and interesting characters. The art part of the anime is only thing in which creators didn't fail. But it annoys me that.

overall fate zero is just an edgy pile of fucking horseshit is one of the most shitty edgy emo depressing garbage i`ve ever seen this pile of shit is just some overrated edgy emo garbage The only enjoyment I ever had from this show was the fact that it was over. I felt like if I had been freed from a cage I was forced to stay in for several days, do you know that feeling? I guess you do. and that i why prefer the fate spinoffs like fate extra fate extella fate prisma illya fate apocrypha and fate grand order, because they are much more light-hearted and better than this pile of edgy emo shit zero and edgy survivor guilt bullshit fate stay night ubw and hf i don`t give a flying fuck if you downvote this, this is only my fucking opinion

D M T :D

D. A pairing you wished you liked but just can't

God, where to begin. I tend to end up anywhere in between indifference and vehemently hating most popular ships in fandoms, but some big ones I can think of that I do actually wish I could enjoy in some capacity are Itafushi, Sanegiyuu, and Renruki

Like... with Itafushi, I honestly can't even pinpoint why I don't like it (especially because I adore Itafushikugi but something about Itafushi by itself is just... so 'meh' to me). Like by all means I should enjoy it, and I certainly don't hate it, I just don't like it much. Maybe it's because most of the time when I see it, the way it's done feels wildly out of character for Megumi? (and sometimes Yuuji though to a much lesser extent). But idk, I don't get it, and Yuuji, Megumi, and Nobara come as a trio, Nobara simply cannot be excluded in any way, it's not fair

Sanegiyuu is.... *sighs* okay so. I get it. From a purely canon perspective I completely and totally get it and maybe even somewhat agree. Sanemi and Giyuu end up together, but that's because they're the only ones left and neither one of them can fathom being with someone who doesn't Get what they went through. If it's depressing, and a somewhat shitty relationship, I get it. However, just casually shipping them because it's fun? Because they have potential feelings born from anything else? Absolutely not. It stops making sense in every capacity. Sanemi would never like Giyuu that way, and even if Giyuu liked Sanemi, he's too emotionally stunted to ever do anything about it. It only works if they hate themselves and are one bad thing away from ending it all post-canon when everyone else is dead. That is the only time it's acceptable. But... I do wish I sometimes liked it other capacities and got what all the fuss is about (but tbh I feel that way about Giyuu in general, even outside of ships)

And Renruki is just. Ugh. The romantic relationships in Bleach are only somewhat handled well (which idk I guess the only three you have to choose from that are actually canon are Ichihime, Ginran, and Renruki, but I do actually enjoy the former two), but something about Renruki just irks me, which really sucks! Because I adore Renji and Rukia! I love their relationship! But... only in a platonic sense. I just don't see or understand a potential romance there, and ppl always complain about Ichihime not having enough build up but man... Renruki really came way out of left field imo. Like yes Renji and Rukia were always unbelievably close but it was always in a platonic sense, there was never any romantic tension between them and then they were confirmed at the end of the series? Don't get it. Don't get why people enjoy it, it was lame and bad and imo made their relationship feel cheap.

Sorry I like complaining about ships I don't like lmfao

M. Name a character that you'd like to have for a friend.

If I could manifest Nobara and Power into the real world specifically so we could be besties and go out and be loud and fucking weird and a little bit snobby together I would do it in a fucking heartbeat. Girlboss trio of kinda shitty (affectionate) girls lmao

T. Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

Any and all of my demonic virus headcanons <3 I love them, and I think they all make perfect sense

🖤 Emma frost

attractiveness:

Emma Frost is objectively an incredibly gorgeous woman who Hank, so far as I can tell, has no real sexual interest in. On an aesthetic level, she's literally the picture of perfection - of course she is, she paid top dollar for that to be the case - but I just don't think she moves the dial for Hank. When they're at their best, during, say, New X-Men, I think Hank just regards her as too close a friend to 'betray' by harbouring sexual thoughts and so he just kinda wills it not to be a thing. When they're at their worst, like, say, during Utopia, I think Hank finds her morality to be too much of a turn off to even consider her actual beauty.

personality:

I mean, let's hear it from the man himself, shall we?

I think that Hank really does like Emma, all the way up to Krakoa, but I feel like Emma doesn't always like Hank, because that's the kind of person Emma is, and who she's become over the last 20 years has changed a fair bit (to say nothing of what Marvel's done to Hank). On some level, it feels as though they're a little too much like one another in some ways, and far too different from one another in others.

how likely they would have sex with them:

I don't see it, tbh. If there was ever a time, it was, like, twenty years ago, before Scott/Emma became a thing, and even then, Hank never read as being into her, imo. I've read a fic that had him pining for her, which I can see if I squint, but . . . ehh. Pretty much every version of Hank I write wouldn't, but if Marvel wanted to give it the good old college try and put a decent writer on it, then maybe.

Though, honestly, with the Scemma shippers being as fervent as they are, that's the one thing Hank could do that would earn him more hate than the war crimes.

level of friendship:

Even as their friendship deteriorated over Hank's increasing instability and . . . whatever the fuck was going on with Emma post-Bendis, pre-Krakoa, I feel like Hank always wanted them to be friends, though it felt increasingly like Emma just didn't care. I hold the snippets that exist close to my heart, like Hank comforting her when New Tian goes down after Secret Empire fell, but tbh, when she confronted him at the Hellfire Gala and the X-Force Annual, I was like, eh, even without Beast being a butcher and a bastard now, that friendship needed a lot of work to be salvaged. It's probably going to be completely scrubbed regardless of how X-Force ends, and I'll miss it, but I suspect I'll be one of the few who mourns it.

first impression of them:

First impression would likely have been being told about her during the Dark Phoenix Saga, so he would have fucking hated her goddamn guts! :) Honestly, it's kind of a mark of how forgiving Hank can be that he doesn't really hold it against her at all (barring one comment), going so far as to stick his neck out for her, repeatedly, in New and Astonishing X-Men.

current impression of them:

You have to go back to, like, 2011 to find an example of these two being genuinely affectionate and nice towards one another. Even when Hank was comforting her after New Tian went down, it felt very one-sided, and X-Force Beast's thoughts on Emma are soiled not just by how poisoned his mind is in general, but also by her conduct with regards to Alex and the Hellions.

#Anonymous #muse assessment meme #outofmuffins #I genuinely feel like it's a loss not just to Hank that all of his friendships have been completely torched.#But that all of these characters have lost something - even if it's just something small.#Hank and Emma. Hank and Scott. Hank and Jean. These were important friendships. And now they're borderline unfixable.#Makes me genuinely sad. I feel like all of those characters have lost something and most people don't even realise it's gone.

enhypen hyung line as e2l troupe requested by anon

– heeseung

how you became enemies: heeseung to me just seems very competitive, and as an ace, he feels compelled to be good at many things. so when you show him up in something like a shared workplace or hobby like dancing, he sees it as competition and also starts to tease you.

it's more playful teasing honestly. heeseung doesn't mean harm at all! just libra boy things

how you became lovers: one time he teases you though, he accidentally takes it too far and it hurts you. when you actually get mad or hurt by it, he realizes his own feelings for you, apologizes, and then confesses.

he'll do whatever it takes to prove to you how he feels and how he is sorry for hurting you, which really reaches you.~

the knock on your apartment door surprises you. you don't think you were expecting anybody, and if you were, the fact that you couldn't remember wasn't at all surprising to you since your mind had flooded with the comments heeseung had told you over the past months. they all came together to fill you with insecurities and left you feeling like you couldn't do anything to the point you took a break from dancing.

with a sigh and a heavy heart, you open the door without checking who it was (please don't do this irl), and your jaw unhinges itself from the shocking sight of the boy who was at the root of your sullenness. what is even more astonishing is the fact that he holds a bouquet of your favorite flowers in his hands with a face full of regret pointed towards the ground. the ever-so-confident lee heeseung is nowhere to be seen as he looks up to see your face.

he smiles apologetically and offers the flowers to you. "y/n... i'm really sorry for being a jerk to you all this time. i realized it's not just because i'm competitive, but because i admire you, more so than i thought actually... i think i'm in love with you."

rest of the hyung line under the cut! <3

line break insurance please ignore and enjoy!

– jay

how you became enemies: jay's really stubborn and he holds his values very close to him (what bang pd said first episode of i-land 🤭), and for some people, it can come off as cold. you thought that he hated you for something you did when he came off as indifferent all the time towards you, though you were usually cordial towards him. he thought you were naive, carefree, going through life without purpose, which rubbed him the wrong way.

basically the two of you had so many misunderstandings about each other despite sharing so many mutual friends who thought highly of the both of you.

how you became lovers: for some odd reason, you and jay never crossed paths often until one day, the two of you went to a small get-together of mutual friends. he saw that you actually did have a direction in life and felt bad for misjudging you. you saw his kind side, and his laughter made your heart flutter. you thought he looked good laughing, and he thought you looked cool talking about your future aspirations.

it's slow, but after that meetup, you two became really close, started developing feelings towards each other, and eventually dated <3

you grimace at the thought of having to see park jongseong at a get-together—he always treated you coldly or indifferently whenever he saw you, despite you never having done anything wrong to him. however, you decide to suck it up and attend since you'd been coddled in your apartment from overwork.

dressed up accordingly, you take a deep breath and knock on the door. immediately, your friend kim sunoo opens it with a bright smile.

"y/n, you're here!" he gives you a big hug.

"sunoo! it's so good to see you!" you reply, returning the hug and walking into the large shared apartment. "i brought some snacks, i'm sorry i haven't been to one of these lately."

"oh, y/n! you're finally here!" jake calls from the couch where the rest of your friends and jay were sitting. "working as a research assistant has really gotten to you, huh? you always work so hard."

"yea," you say as you put the snacks down on the island and sunoo closes the door and makes his way to the couch. you let out a tired sigh but smile anyway. "i wouldn't have it any other way though, you know? i'm just getting a step closer to what i want to do!"

you didn't know it that day, but jay's eyes sparkled at this new piece of information. he was enamored by the fact you were working so hard for something and decided then and there, he would make a better effort to get to know you despite his first misunderstanding of you.

– jake

how you became enemies: jake is such a softie i don't see him making enemies with anyone unless they rub him off the wrong way first! so you're the one who has to start it. i would say, you accidentally took his golden retriever energy as something suspicious.

even though jake literally means no harm, you found it so sus that he's just so nice and warm and affectionate.

how you became lovers: jake is actually your secret admirer who left you love letters in your locker/mailbox. so when you found out it was him, your coldhearted view of him melted away. he said he did it secretly because he thought you hated him (which was kind of true) but still wanted to show somehow that he wanted to look out for you and be the one for you.

since that confession you started seeing him in a new light and eventually returned his feelings.

"oh?" you open your locker/mailbox to see a heart-shaped sticky note on the door instead of the usual pastel pink letter. it said, 'meet me on the rooftop once you see this.'

of course you want to meet whoever this is and rush to the rooftop, practically taking 2 or 3 steps at a time. you catch your breath before finally pushing the doors open, the sunlight glaring into your eyes. squinting, you make out a tall figure facing the open city, their back towards you.

upon hearing the door open and close, your secret admirer turns around with the widest smile on his face, and it's who you least expected.

"sim... jaeyun...?" you mutter. "you're my...?"

he chuckles shyly, rubbing the back of his neck. "yea, it's me. hi y/n."

"but i... you...? huh?" you're speechless. i mean, all you've done and said has hurt his feelings in some way, right?

"you don't treat me the best, yea," he confirms. "but like the letters say, i know you're not really you when you're with me. i didn't know how to say it since... well, you know, so i decided this was the best way to do it. i hope you can give me a chance?"

"a chance? jake, you can have so much more," you end up laughing out loud from the amazed shock. "i'll give you as many chances as you want since you gave me more than i deserve."

– sunghoon

how you became enemies: sunghoon's got this hit-or-miss kinda detector, and for day one, you two immediately just missed oop 🧍🏻 cue endless banter between you and him over the smallest things. if you two were schoolmates or something, he would bump into you on purpose accident, and the two of you would start an argument in the middle of the hallway yikes !

i know he's an istj, but since he's a fire sign, i know he has it somewhere in him 👀

how you became lovers: let's say you got stuck on a project together. the two of you are literally forced to get to know each other, and you both find out you actually have more in common with the other than you thought.

baby steps! but eventually, the hate easily turns into love between the two of you~

"can you believe just yesterday we hated each other's guts?" sunghoon admits out loud in the middle of the library.

you laugh and hit his shoulder lightly. "what do you mean? i still hate your guts," you tease.

"you can't hate..." he takes a dramatic pause and flips his hair flamboyantly. "all this."

"i literally did for 3 years, sunghoon."

the librarian shushes you promptly, making sunghoon guffaw at your flabbergasted expression.

"shh!!" she scolds even louder. this time, you're the one laughing at him. this does not sit well with the librarian as she starts to get out of her seat.

"shoot, we gotta go!" your project partner gets up from his seat rather haphazardly and pulls your hand to drag you with him.

"whoa!" you yelp as the two of you run out of the library, leaving all your things behind. once out the doors, the librarian is a minute or so behind you two, and she tosses your things out on the doorstep that you had just left.

"you two are banned!" she yells and proceeds to slam the door.

breathlessly, you and sunghoon share glances with each other before bursting out into fits of laughter.

"oh my god! what was that?!" you say, wiping your tears out of your eyes.

"guess i can say i've been banned from the library now," sunghoon slyly concedes.

"that's what you're concerned about?" you giggle, hitting him for the millionth time today. he only offers you a giddy smile while the both of you gather your belongings.

"maybe, maybe not," is his vague response as he reaches to pick up your book to hand to you. however, you were on your way to grab that particular item too, so your hand ends up on his.

the two of you look up to meet each other's eyes and realize, perhaps all this time, what the two of you felt wasn't hate after all.

maknae line version here!

Heart Of Winter

To Arthur, a bad winter meant he wore extra layers and lingered near the fireplaces at every opportunity. That was the way it had been all his life. He was aware, in a vague, indifferent sort of way, that it was another matter for the people in the Lower Town, and worse still for those in the outlying villages. Firewood and food frequently fell into short supply, but there was only so much that could be done.

Or so his father said.

When Merlin came into his service, gangly and clumsy and more irritating than Arthur thought possible, it began a subtle shift in his thinking. It took time, but as weeks became months and the wheel of the year turned, Arthur found himself less willing to believe his father's dismissive platitudes. What was the point, after all, in ruling a realm if you could do nothing to help its people survive life's hardships?

Perhaps that was because the victims of those hardships now had a face. Despite all of Arthur's protests to the contrary, Merlin had become his friend, and though he spoke lightly of the life he had endured in Ealdor, he did not seek to keep it a secret.

'That's why you always empty your plate,' Arthur realised quietly one evening, after Merlin bluntly explained that during his childhood, there had been times in midwinter where there was not even a morsel for him to eat. 'Even if you don't like it.'

'Only people who have never been hungry turn their nose up at food,' Merlin replied, licking gravy off his thumb.

Arthur wondered if that was why, even now, Merlin's build tended towards slender and waif-like. Oh, he was strong enough, but did those times of deprivation cast their shadow, even now?

'How often did it happen?'

Merlin shrugged. 'Enough. Some years were all right. Others...' He pursed his lips. 'Ealdor was better off that those places in the north of Essetir. Whole villages up there died, some winters.'

Arthur looked down at his plate, at the dumpling he had rejected for being too rich in herbs, and the carrots he had refused to eat since his childhood. It would go to the pigs, he assumed. The ones that would, in time, be served at the royal table, but there were people all over his kingdom who would give anything for the scraps they fed to the livestock, or for the wood his father kept stored to light his damn pyres.

'What can I do?' he asked, tunnelling his fingers through his hair.

'What will your father let you do?' Merlin asked gently, his question far too pointed and honest for Arthur's comfort. He rarely failed to get to the heart of the matter. It was one of those qualities that didn't sit well on a servant, who were meant to flatter when asked and remain silent otherwise. Still, it wasn't as if Merlin had ever made any effort to fit the role Uther had thrust upon him.

'Nothing,' Arthur acknowledged grimly. 'He believes that it's not our concern. As far as he cares, the people are there to pay their taxes and little more. If I tried to change that...' He trailed off, slumping lower in his chair. He could see it all too well. His father would take it as a challenge, and Arthur knew better than to believe being Uther's son and heir would spare him his wrath.

No. Officially, there was nothing he could do. Not until it was he who sat upon the throne. However, that didn't mean he was completely helpless. Not with a man like Merlin at his side.

Merlin, who thought Arthur didn't notice the way his eyes glowed just before they were all saved from a bandit attack, or who honestly believed Arthur would buy his hollow, wraith-like excuses for all the strange things that went on in Camelot. Merlin, who had been saving his life against impossible odds using the very magic for which Uther would see him burn. So far, Arthur had let him keep his secret. Now, the time had come for that to change.

'Forget about me, then,' Arthur said, propping his elbow on the arm of his chair and resting his chin on his knuckles. He watched Merlin across the expanse of the table, his heart racing and his gut thrashing with nervous butterflies. What he was about to do could change everything. He only hoped it was for the better. 'What can you do, Merlin? You and your magic?'

------

The wind bit at Arthur's cheeks as he huddled in his coat, eyes narrowed against the ice glittering in the air. Winter bit deep, this year, but perhaps this time the people of Camelot would not suffer so harshly. It was a delicate balancing act, working out what they could get away with right under Uther's nose.

Old clothes and blankets that would not be missed were easy enough to offer to the poorest. Gwen and Merlin had recruited a few of the trusted among the servants to help them get supplies to those most desperately in need. Food, too, found its way into the Lower Town, tied in neat bundles and left on doorsteps. Yet it was Merlin's small touches of magic that made the heart of winter easier to bear.

It had taken a number of days and a dozen whispered promises that he would never face the pyre to get Merlin to understand Arthur meant him no harm. More than once, Arthur had half-expected to find his servant had fled in the night, so great was his fear. And who could blame him? Uther was not known for his mercy.

Eventually, after more than a week of acting like a horse about to bolt from its stable, Merlin finally seemed to believe Arthur's word. He did not care that Merlin had magic, only whether or not he could use it to help the people.

Now, as he stood waiting for Merlin to finish checking on one of Gaius' patients in their small hovel, he let his gaze drag over the door frame, searching the grain of the wood for the subtle mark. If he had not seen Merlin place it, with the faintest flicker of gold, then Arthur would never have known it was there: an old religion glyph for warmth, tied into the very fabric of the building.

It was not the only one. Every dwelling in the Lower Town bore the rune, now. Merlin's magic worked through it, invisibly holding back the drafts and healing rotten thatch, forcing the walls to hold the heat of the fires that burned in the hearths.

Once he sat upon the throne, Arthur would make sure that none of his people wanted for food or heat, not here within the citadel's walls or out in the lands of his realm. For now, what little he could offer was made possible by Merlin, and he could not be more grateful.

Magic was a tool, and between them, Arthur and Merlin planned to put it to good use.

For the sake of Camelot.

Hi!

I really love your writing. Not to sound like a creep but I've read and reread all your stories multiple times. I think honestly no one writes romantic moments like you and may I ask you to write a one off with Azriel braiding Elain's hair? My birthday is coming up and it would be a gift. You don't have to but if you can it would be amazing.

Happy upcoming birthday, darling Anon! Thank you for your compliments and here you go!

The Braid

It was an early morning when Azriel arrived at the River Estate.

Rhys wanted an early meeting, but it was barely after 5 o’clock in the morning and as he entered the empty, quiet mansion, Azriel remembered that not everyone was as early a riser as he was.

Elain was. The only one to rise like the sun, and glow each morning with her special light.

Before everything had gone to shit, he secretly craved a glimpse of that light every morning. When he was feeling bold, he’d actually join her for breakfast, for her first cup of tea, and his first cup of coffee. Just the two of them in the kitchen, no one to interfere or gawk. Their sacred, private moments together. She’d ask him about his previous day and his plans, and they’d talk about the news, and sometimes, she’d giggle and hand him the newest gossip magazine, and they’d discuss all the naughty happenings of the Velaris rich and famous. With Elain, it didn’t feel awkward and he didn’t need to put on his mask of indifference, for she would not mock him or make fun of him, if she knew that he enjoyed reading the tabloids. She did as well and it was their little secret—both were invested in the development of a potential affair of a prominent actress from the Night Court and a married Prince from Day Court.

Azriel loved supplying Elain with little tidbits of information that he learned throughout the day, known only to him, and then watch how she’d cover her mouth and how her beautiful eyes grew wide when he whispered the latest developments to her. It was so perfectly normal, so tender and pure that he even allowed himself the pointless fantasies of how one day, this may take place in their own home, not his brother’s. He imagined how he and Elain would wake up together, after a night of her sleeping draped over him, her breath soothing and peaceful on his chest, every curve of hers pressed into him. They’d make breakfast together and talk and laugh and the kitchen would smell of coffee and pastry. It would be the smell of their home. And sometimes, or rather often, he thought of making love to her as well—maybe in their kitchen, maybe in the garden, in their bed…He thought about it a lot. But he was just as happy thinking of how Elain would be his home—to greet him in the morning with her luminous smile and the wave of her honey-golden hair and to greet him in the evening, when he returned to her and wrapped his arms around her, his troubles forgotten.

Today, even the kitchen was silent. No Elain to greet him.

Yes, it’s been tense and awkward between them since the disaster that was the last Solstice. Gone were the mornings of quiet laughter, coffee and gossiping. Gone were the moments of her squeezing his fingers in reassurance, before he stood up to leave. Her little way of wishing him a good day. Her promise to think of him throughout the day, and then send him off with a soft smile. Nowadays, they never spent time together, alone. If there was breakfast, there was at least six people in the room, and chaos.

He walked down the hallway and then made his way up the stairs, to his room, which he hardly ever used.

His keen hearing picked up the sounds of whispering and quiet laughter first. Then, Elain’s scent flooded his senses and he paused in the hallway. Her bedroom door was slightly ajar and before he knew what he was doing, he was peering into the bedroom. His shadows floated around him, concealing him when he forgot to hide himself.

Elain was seated in front of her vanity, the first rays of morning sun gilding her in gold and bronze. Cerridwen was standing behind, holding the mass of Elain’s hair in one hand and a brush in another. They were laughing, carefree, and Azriel was happy for both of them—that they, and Nuala, found each other and became such good friends. He was forever grateful to the twins for their kindness and for allowing the bruised, aching and traumatized girl into their little world. The half-wraiths did not encourage closeness and only considered him as a friend, even if they technically served him and Rhysand. But they accepted Elain and the three became true friends and companions.

He held his breath, needing to watch. Wanting. Wanting so much of what he couldn’t have. Wanting to take Cerridwen’s place. Wanting to feel Elain’s smooth silken skin against his lips. Wanting her to lean into him, trusting and loving. Wanting. Wanting. Wanting.

“Azriel.”

His name on Elain’s lips started him. He actually flinched.

She never called him by his name. Ever. As if it was too intimate and would bring down even more barriers between the two of them. As if they both knew that his name would be the one she’d moan in her pleasure, writhing against him. His name would be the name she’d whisper when she spoke the words of love. Instead of his name, she always offered him a special smile that she reserved only for him.

“Azriel,” she said again.

He couldn’t read the tone of her voice.

It jolted him. That somehow, they’d grown so far apart that he couldn’t read her expression, and didn’t understand her mood.

Cerridwen stepped back and turned around, looking at him. That look was inscrutable as well, but something in it told him that it would be alright…that he could step inside and he’d be welcome.

So he did.

He entered Elain’s bedroom.

Her jasmine and honey scented bedroom.

Terrible idea.

Of all the bad ideas he’d ever had, this was by far the worst.

Standing in Elain’s bedroom, her bed not even made yet, her naked body barely concealed beneath a flimsy nightgown, her hair streaming about her like a river of molten bronze.

“I shall go see about breakfast,” Cerridwen announced quietly, and Azriel made a move to stop her, but she slipped through his fingers, the naughty wraith.

And then it was just the two of them. Elain was watching him in the mirror, making no moves, quiet.

He approached. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

He shouldn’t be here. It wasn’t right.

But before he knew what he was doing, he moved.

He just moved and his scarred fingers were in her hair, threading gently through the softness, trying not to snag any. He couldn’t help himself. It felt so good. She was next to him again, and for a moment, he could imagine that it was just the two of them. That she was his.

Silently, he picked up the brush and ran it through the hair, down, down, down, and watched Elain’s beautiful throat bob, her chest rising and falling softly, her plump, lovely breasts swelling against the material. He noticed it all. Every move and sigh and hitch. But he said nothing and just brushed her hair.

He didn’t know what compelled him, but he divided the locks into three equal parts and wondered if he would remember how to plait. He did. Elain still said nothing, and just watched him with a tormented hunger in her eyes, as her cheeks darkened and bloomed with a deep blush. Slowly, he crossed and tightened the strands of her hair in his hands, remembering to be gentle and not tug, but he didn’t think that Elain would mind if he tugged, if he wrapped the hair around his fist and pulled her head back, if he feasted on her long neck, if he bit and marked her.

But he just braided her hair.

Wordlessly, she handed him a blue ribbon, and surprising himself, he managed to weave it into the strands before securing the braid with a knot and even making a little bow. Yes, he the Spymaster and Shadowsinger of the Night Court, had tied a little blue bow at the end of Elain Archeron’s braid.

He let go of the braid that tumbled down her back.

“Until tomorrow then,” she said at last.

Until tomorrow then.

And for the first time in a very, very long time, Azriel smiled.
