friends to lovers (maybe?)

a/n notes: please listen to taylor swift - enchanted for a better experience <3

"alright, alright! bakugo please calm down," a sweat dropped from kirishima's face as he stood miles away to reassure the spikey blonde who was just hit the ceiling.

"calm down? kirishima, you know i hate that rumour bullshits. I've gotta kill whoever writes this absurd newspaper." bakugo exploded while his friend scanned the grey paper in his hand, acknowledging the circumstance.

"maybe that rumour you have a new lover must be the cover of something in it, I could help you out with that," kirishima rubbed his temple at the frantically bakugo screaming in the room "and in order to do that, you have to keep your head cold until we found some pieces of information."

that evening, bakugo went back to your shared home being extra grumpy.

"y/nnnn I'm goddamn home!"

he slammed the door and immediately noticed that something was different. started by you, and the soft music you called a masterpiece a few days ago he didn't remember, enchanted by taylor swift maybe.

"oh, you're back. what's the fuss?" you concern, munching something in your mouth.

"shitty day."

"right"

---

The TV was on, it was your favourite series. bakugo stepped out of his bedroom, hair half wet.

"hey, wanna make something together? I'm hungry"

"hmm." your eyes glued to the screen, mouth still munching. "I'm not that hungry, boss. maybe we could just order something outside?"

he was confused by those words.

later that night, some loud angry voices echoed faintly from his room, you never really mind though, you were busy at that moment.

"kirishima, what do you think if someone close to you suddenly acts... um... weird?"

"how weird do you mean?" spoke the other line.

"ugh... not spending time with you? maybe cook some dinner?"

kirishima, who's minding his own bussiness nearly caught off guard.

"who are you?"

"the heck?"

"now, that's really not a topic that I expect you to speak of. is it y/n?"

bakugo couldn't say a word.

"I guess that's a yes, then?"

"no"

"oh shut up." the other line laughed. "don't be shy, tell them how you feel, though my advices won't stand a chance."

bakugo ended the call, face flushed red, he would explode if kirishima said any further about you.

everything is weirdly normal the next morning, he stole every glances he could to check up on you. you felt it, but were to preoccupied to even question him.

"I feel like they were trying to keep themselves busy to avoid me."

now that was what he thought to himself in the mirror.

"should I try talking to them?" he silently let out a sigh.

---

"y/n, i'm home."

greeted him was a dark and cold living room, and uncomfortable silence.

"maybe they haven't done with their work." he dropped himself on the couch, exhaustingly pulled out the phone, killing some time while waiting for you.

the news on social media flooded with pictures of him and his rumoured lover, some chicks that he didn't even know. those just made him sick. he turned off his phone, inevitably fell asleep.

being woke up by a warm hand touching his cheek, he unconciously held it, thinking it was you. and it was really you, eyes full of concern.

"bakugo, have you overworked yourself?" you confronted him. "you look so pale!"

"goddamn it..." he muttered.

"pardon me?"

"you still care." he scoffed, a small smile formed up. "thought you're avoiding me. thank god"

you'd lost it, given up to him, but not completely. "what do you mean?"

"you're playing dumb." he muttered again. "I hate that shit."

you tried to swallow a choke. "sorry, can I take a seat?"

bakugo sat up, you shifted beside him uncomfortably.

"well... it's true that i've been avoiding you... I just thought that maybe the idea of us living together will make your girlfriend uncomfortable" but in fact, it made you uncomfortable.

"y/n, you do not know if the rumours are true, do you?" he groaned.

"yeah... but, still..." you rubbed your neck, embarrassed.

"sorry... I just... thinking that i hate the fact that you have a girlfriend, someone I don't even familiar with." your head turned away from his, wanting to leave the room as you nervously shifted.

"it makes so much more sense now." you found in his tone somehow a bit softness. "you liked me."

your eyes widen. he knew? but who the hell-

"it's not that easy as you think to come to this conclusion. I know it's a little bit straightforward, but I think I've seen enough." he confessed.

"who... told...?" you were still in shock your words fell faint. and he was flustered. two minutes straight of awkward silence.

"ahem..." you pulled yourself together. "yes, i like you. but i sensed that maybe you wouldn't be the type of guy who's in for a relationship."

"for how long?" bakugo sat with his fingers fiddled, stomach burning, impatiently waiting.

"years" you sighed. "i was fine with every rumour you've been involved in in the past, but somehow this one is just my last straw. seeing them talking about you guys and the fact that this was spreaded for quite some time, i don't think it's gonna stop. so the best option for me is to just get over this secret little crush on you, last night was my first attempt, but I still care."

you laughed pathetically, pity youself. "you know, it hurts a lot to pretend that I liked the idea of you guys dating with my friends. it has been bothered me."

you cover your face with both hands, whispered softly "i'm just a fool"

bakugo felt his heart sank after the proposal, he moved closer to you, take one hand and squished it gently.

"sorry... I should've found out sooner." he then pulled you in for a hug. you bursted crying.

he closed his eyes, hand caressed your hair, "don't stop liking me, y/n." he had you safely in his firm arm, smelled the scent that sooner will became his. "because I think it's working."

"you... like me?" you sniffed. nose runny, watery eyes. he thought it was cute.

"sorry for keeping you waiting, I'll treat you like you deserved to be." he kissed your forehead, your face, then your lips. "I don't even know the person they told that i'm dating, you little idiot."

that night was sparkling. please don't let it go.

i felt it's ooc. because we have no clue about bakugo in a relationship, just predicting it. i'm clearing out my old drafts anyway, enjoy this little piece (i think?)

Will Won't Believe Mike Has Feelings For Him, Until Mike Unpacks EVERYTHING!

In season 2, almost every touch between byler was initiated by Mike. Literally two episodes in a row at the start of that season, the camera focuses on Mike wrapping his arm around Will's shoulder warmly, only for us to never see this gesture from Mike again until s4, except this time it's with El (feat. Will in the background).

This is important because it means Mike went from initiating touch with Will in the earlier seasons, to not initiating it in the later ones, and conveniently right after he started having a relationship with El.

After holding back from initiating any contact with Will all of s3 (the same season almost all contact between them was initiated by Will for the first time), it's not until the end of the season that Mike lets go of his ih right as Will is about to leave for California, falling into his arms.

And then it takes the literal apocalypse, at the very end of s4, for Mike to wholeheartedly initiate contact with Will again (after yet another season of Will initiating most).

And so it makes sense why Will would be confused.

Because at the end of s3, Mike gives him the impression that he didn't want Will to join another party, with Will basically admitting that was the whole point of him donating the dnd game, because joining another party would literally be impossible for him, so like what's the point?

Will's feelings aren't going away. Whether or not Mike feels the same, is beside the point. Will still wants to be in Mike's life as his friend and he would be ecstatic to be best friends like they used to, entirely platonically.

After all, Will used to attribute Mike's behavior in earlier seasons as platonic, whereas bylers arguably viewed it as romantic. So Will's idea of romantic vs. platonic may very well be different than Mike's (and perhaps ours).

We tend to view those gestures as romantic, especially because Mike went from being able to do them nonchalantly, to now looking like a deer in headlights any time Will so much as slightly grazes his arm.

This is why I think Mike and Will's personal experiences with ih intersect and overlap. It affects them both differently, and that's probably because they had their realizations at different times, but it’s also probably because it started in environments that don’t resemble the exact same circumstances and experiences.

I do think because of Lonnie and because of Will's experiences growing up being bullied, he is understandably scared of being a target and that will never go away, it never does for queer people. That trauma is deep for Will and it's why he can't stand up for El in s4 when it comes to the bullies. It's why he freezes. And yet, even still, he seems a lot more comfortable in being who he is in a way that I just don't think Mike is, at least not fully or to the extent Will is (yet).

And it's because they are at totally different stages of their journey, journeys that are going to look totally different even side by side, but still qualify as both being worthy enough for acknowledgment in the end.

I hate the whole excuse regarding the girl in Will's class, because we don't really get much context there. But I'm guessing that Will obviously knew this girl sort of well. They're sitting next to each other in class, and he's been going to this school for about 6 months, so I highly doubt they are strangers.

I also am assuming they talked enough that this girl felt compelled to flirt by playing footsy, as opposed to her just being attracted to him and doing it on a whim. That obviously doesn't excuse her touching him without his consent, but what I'm trying to say is that there are girls that have liked Will for who he is, after getting to know him, who want to get to know him more romantically and he's just.... not having it.

And so if Will was craving normalcy to the point where he wanted to appear straight, dating a girl that is fully interested in him is obviously one of the popular options a person might consider in that situation. And Will's had this opportunity. This was just one of at least 3 in canon occurrences where a girl implied, 'Hey. I'm interested' towards Will. Which means all he would have to do is play along and he could keep his sexuality locked down and ignore his true feelings, by pretending to be happy in a heterosexual relationship.

We even have an unnamed fourth girl in the mix, who Will doesn't even know exists. This girl exists solely to make Mike insecure about his and Will's relationship. Because in contrast to Will, and most people that don't have extreme cases of ih, Mike views romantic relationships as shutting out everyone else, and he's scared that now that Will might be interested in a girl and moving towards a romantic relationship, he's going to shut Mike out and he'll lose him for good.

But Will doesn't have that same level of denial or self-hatred that might lead one to pursue or even simply draw out an unromantic relationship, at least not anymore. You could try to argue that in s2 Will did because he gave in and danced with the girl (at Mike's insistence), but since then, nothing.

Will is the kind of person that is comfortable enough in his sexuality to literally be single for the rest of his life, contentedly, because that would mean he doesn't have to pretend to be someone he's not to fit society's expectations. He's not scared enough about the implications of not having a gf and what people would think of him as a result. He is who he is and he's accepted that part of himself.

Mike on the other hand, has lots of expectations of himself, that he's sort of forcing himself to obey and follow. And he's also well aware of the implications of everything he does, especially when it relates to Will. He hyper-focuses on his actions and it's why he can't be fully honest about how he feels, and this is because how he has been acting as of late, is mostly an act in and of itself. An act that protects him from exploring the truth about his sexuality. An act that allows him to ignore it all together.

Every time Will has confronted Mike about his inability to be a good friend like he used to be, it's literally coming from a platonic place, not from a place of Will expecting Mike to return his love.

That's the thing, he doesn't think Mike could ever love him because he thinks Mike is straight. But he also (unlike Mike) doesn't have fears about Mike viewing his behavior as romantic, he just has fears that Mike doesn't want him as a friend anymore.

And I think that's the difference between Will's ih and Mike's.

Because Mike's ih is attributed to how he's been taught to believe he must grow up and be a certain way, according to bs media propaganda and from his family, along with how all of those ideas impacted him internally, since he has no one to really talk about it with.

And while Will has experienced some heinous shit in regards to his perceived sexuality at an extremely young age (a lot of which Mike witnessed right beside him or experienced himself firsthand) he doesn't apply those insecurities to his relationship with Mike. Even though Lonnie and those bullies and the scum of town broke him down, his mother loves him and his brother loves him and his best friend said asking him to be his best friend was the best thing he's ever done.

Mike doesn't have that kind of support going on for him when it comes to accepting his sexuality. He's scared, and understandably so.

This contrast between their characters is obvious in the way they go about their relationship, specifically in s4.

For example, Will doesn't view Mike not sending him letters as Mike turning him down romantically, he views it as Mike not caring about him at all, even as a friend.

And that's the main thing that made me have this realization about Mike's behavior in s4, and over the seasons in general because, to Mike, writing a letter to Will had romantic implications.

He sent letters to El and literally couldn't give in to send not even one letter to Will, and it's because, well, it would be too obvious (gay).

I imagine it's possible Will called Mike after they were settled in Cali, because he was still fairly certain they were on good terms considering how they left things (he has no idea Mike is spiraling over being recommitted to El again). Will had little reason to be insecure that Mike wouldn't want to talk to him, so I imagine that initially, things were at least fine.

But then it's been about a week and the Byers get a couple of letters in the mail, one for El and one for Jonathan, and... I can't even imagine what Will might have been feeling in that moment.

And then it happens again. And again. And Will is confused, because he thought they resolved things in their last conversation. He thought that they hugged and they were back to the way things used to be.

We even get this moment where Max is writing letters to everyone, EVERYONE, which makes me think Will did get letters from his other friends after the move, from Dustin, Lucas and even Max. And I think this can also be supported by a few other details. Bc if the phone line was busy, I don’t think any of the other friends would have a problem with writing Will a letter to reach him instead. And so by Dustin complaining about Mike was always whining about the Byers line being busy is an interesting choice bc, why wouldn't Dustin also complain? Wouldn't he want to call to talk to Will too.... Unless, Dustin is fully capable of getting his platonic Will fix via letters, EVEN probably ending them with love Dustin. (Will also knew what Lucas’ hair looked like in s4, which he would only really know if he got a picture of Lucas sent to him in the mail, most likely accompanied by a letter catching up).

I'm honestly guessing, that the only person who didn't write Will, not even once, was Mike.

It makes sense that in the time between s3-s4, Will attributed this behavior from Mike as him just reverting back to his s3 ways. He stopped focusing on Will and put all of his energy into worrying about El (again).

And so although Will doesn't make the effort to reach out to Mike as much as he could have, it's not because he's scared Mike will realize his feelings for him if he 'goes too far' or something. It's because he just genuinely thinks that Mike doesn't want to be his friend anymore.

And then the couple other times Mike himself calls the Byers over those 6 months, it's incredibly awkward. Something is off and Will doesn't know what it is or if it's his fault.

And this is why he puts his heart and soul into that painting.

The party was the last thing they talked about when they last saw each other. And that painting and what it represents reminds Will of a time when they were younger, when they could be themselves. Or more specifically when Mike could be himself and show how much he cared about Will, something he has been incapable of doing to the extent he would like to, for quite some time now. Will's holding onto this small ounce of hope that he just needs to prove to Mike that their friendship can still be what it used to be, if that's what Mike wants of course. And he's not scared that Mike is going to see this as romantic, or he's at least not worried about it. Why else would he put a heart on his shield and plan on giving it to him in front of everyone, in public?

Over the next few months, letters to El (from Mike), are arriving less and less over time, but they're still semi consistent. And all the while Will's just working on his painting with the purest and kindest of intentions.

Then, the day of their reunion finally comes and Will is so excited to hug Mike and give him the painting, but then suddenly, Mike is rejecting him. Instead of going in for a hug like he did at the end of s3, Mike makes his way towards Will, only to pull himself back and tap him on the shoulder instead before they can even hug properly.

Will looked very happy to see Mike, just like Mike did initially. However, in contrast, Will didn't hold himself back from the embrace at all, not until he saw Mike doing it.

Meaning ih wasn't in the way of Will in this moment, but it was in the way for Mike.

Mike's inability to simply hug him back like a friend hugs a friend, is when Will thinks, 'okay. so this painting is probably not the best idea.'

And then all day long, Will is moping, not even thinking about the implications of what it could look like. He doesn't care if he looks like a sad gay boy, because he is a sad gay boy.

Meanwhile Mike is smiling (painfully) most of the day, though we know because Mike lets it slip later, that he was too distracted by Will's moping to even enjoy himself. It was all an act. He was internalizing everything he was truly feeling and thinking in those moments.

Again we're seeing Will being quite capable of showing a full range of emotions, without him worrying about the implications that may come with it, whereas the implications of anything and everything Mike does (or even wears) is a guiding factor for why he is behaving the way that he is.

And then at Rink-O-Mania, Will says, 'what about us' and the entire byler community is gasping.. bc i mean, the guts?? the confidence? the self assurance that he must have had to say something so bold such as, 'what about us??', all while Mike is looking back at him fucking starstruck, wishing he had the balls to say something like that intentionally and not by accident.

Mike has started to be extremely careful about what he says, and in turn Will is having no choice but to do the same.

At this moment, Mike is still reeling from admitting to paying more attention to Will's mood than El who was lying straight to his face, and now Will is suddenly revealing to Mike that he missed him a lot and he was sad that Mike didn't call more...

But instead of Mike being like BRO I called. I called you every day for almost a year... he keeps his mouth shut.

This is the moment we finally see Mike's mask start to crack, because in this moment he reveals that he couldn't write to him because, "She's my girlfriend Will!" and "We're friends. We're friends.".

All of which are things Will never disputed as being basic facts.

The reality is Will isn't upset here because Mike doesn't want to do romantic coded things with him, he's upset because things that used to be platonic for them, that are platonic for most best friends, Mike is suddenly viewing as romantic now.

"But we used to be best friends," drives home this fact that Will's insecurities about their relationship are tied to Mike's behavior.

And then Mike's ih and 'detouring back into the closet' tendencies are back in full force, and it's causing Will to also cut himself short. Instead of being honest like he always is, he's stopping himself, because Mike is starting to change his tune.

It's why he walked away after the rain fight, and it's why he keeps his mouth shut instead of defending himself. Because this isn't how things used to be between them.

And that's what I find kind of tragic about their slow-burn, and I haven't seen anyone talk about this, which is that I think their experiences overlap.

I think that Mike's ih is starting to impact Will in a negative way. While Will has been learning to accept himself over the seasons, Mike's been learning to hide.

We've seen them go from a relationship early on where Mike was the reason Will accepted himself, to now being the reason he has to give him a veiled love confession, because at this point, Will has little reason to believe Mike could love him back based on his actions and his behavior.

At the end of s3, right before they hug, Will kind of just stands there waiting for Mike to hug him, like he's down to hug Mike, but only if that's what he wants. Will's ih is only starting to kick in at all now because Mike's has went from nonexistent, to value infinity. After a season of initiating all contact, Will is skeptical Mike even wants to hug him. But then Mike is falling into his arms and it's such a pure moment, because now Will is thinking, albeit bittersweetly, that things can go back to normal for them.

But they don't, with s4 essentially starting out as a repeat of s3.

Will is back to this trend of initiating all their physical contact again. First going in for a hug at the airport brightly (only to be shot down). Poking Mike in the chest at Rink-O-Mania when they're arguing. Grazing Mike's arm in the van when he gives him the painting. Reaching out to tap his shoulder during his monologue. Hugging Lucas with him. Elbowing him subtly to ask about how things are with El. These are all subtle moments where Will goes out his way to initiate touch with Mike, things that arguably Mike used to do with Will, but now only does extremely rarely, and most notably at the last second at the end of the season, after holding himself back the first 8 or so episodes.

I think what's so important about the way they approached this, is that in order for Will to truly accept and love himself, Mike has to accept himself too.

Without even realizing it, a long time ago, Mike made Will accept himself. Will was arguably experiencing a lot of ih in the first two seasons, but then suddenly it flipped, and now it's the other way around, with Will just being confused like I thought you cured me of this bro? wtf??

Will literally poured his heart out to Mike with that painting. He told Mike how he felt. He even spent the last year or so being fairly honest about how he viewed their friendship and about how he feels about him. And while Mike always makes the effort to correct things with Will, a lot faster than he does with anyone else, he's still leaving Will in the dark here.

Because while most bylers are fully convinced s4 ended things in a way that proves Mike is ready to be with Will once that opportunity arises, that doesn't mean Will is going to believe him.

Will doesn't end the season thinking Mike loves him, he ends it thinking the exact opposite.

It doesn't matter that Mike is finally reaching out to him again or that he's even standing right beside him at the end, because Will has already been through this with Mike.

He's already gotten hope that they could go back to how they were.

And even though their reconciliation in s4 seemed to resolve things, things still ended in a similar way to s3, only this time in a more grand way, with Mike telling El he loved her 9 times, and the added bonus that he apparently felt like his life started that day they found her in the woods (the same day Will went missing).

And so somethings gotta give. We cant just have a repeat of s3 and s4.

I think it's going to take A LOT for Will to even consider Mike could not only see him truly as a best friend again, but that he also returns his feelings romantically.

Sadly, despite all the beauty that is byler when it comes to them voicing how much they care about each other, Mike's inability to even want a platonic relationship is why they are in this situation in the first place. Because I honestly think Will is capable of a platonic relationship with Mike, whereas I do no think Mike is capable of having a platonic relationship with Will. And his attempts to hide his feelings have caused Will to be insecure about where their friendship lies.

And so it's going to require Will getting an explanation as to why Mike has been acting this way for so long.

Mike's not going to be able to end things with El and then manage to convince Will that its him who he loves.

This is where I think the letter comes in. I think that Will pouring his heart out in that painting, explaining all the ways Mike makes him feel like he's not a mistake, needs to be reciprocated in a similar way from Mike's end.

After the past few years of him making Will question everything he ever thought about their relationship, both Will and Mike deserve the closure that comes with acknowledging what the hell happened between them.

And I think the best way to do that is for Will to understand why Mike did what he did, because Will didn't personally have ih that gave him the urge to seek out, nor stay in unhappy relationships. Like I'm sure Will's fairly convinced that having a girlfriend is strictly straight behavior, as are most (uninformed) people.

If Mike wants to be with Will, he needs to give Will closure about why they went from best friends to strangers. And that is going to require Mike unpacking his ih in a way that Will is going to understand, once Mike finally acknowledges it instead of beating around the bush. Will is going to be able to be the thing that makes Mike accept himself, and vice versa.

And the way I think Mike is going to do that is IN A LETER (especially after convincing himself letters are romantic? boy! you better prove it!)

Once they finally do that, once they both speak to each other in their own personal love language (Will with his art and Mike with his writing), they'll finally understand each other and where they were both coming from.

And that's when they'll realize that they can overcome all these fears they've had growing up, everything that caused them this big mess in the first place, because they'll be able to get through it together.

And it's going to be so heartbreakingly beautiful and real that not even the ga is going to be able to be mad.

Malleus's enchantment on Lilia's gag glasses definitely wouldn't work on his own grandmother, would it? XD

Maleficia "There you are, Lilia. I was only just conversing with your human child on your whereabouts. It has been long since I have last seen you, my most trusted— What... are you wearing?"

[Referencing this fic!]

If Malleus could easily wave off Vil’s magic, then Maleficia can do the same for Malleus’s magic 😂

There's a part in this interaction where Maleficia switches from using "I" to "we"--that's the English royal "we" (pluralis majestatis). Historically, it's been used to invoke the divine right of rulers to speak for their state. I wanted to use it for a brief line to emphasize her serious tone.

***Note: foreshadowing for book 7 (so there are spoilers!!)***

Family means Nobody is Left Behind or Forgotten.

"So good to see you, your majesty." Lilia bowed to the woman in regal black robes. His tone was lighthearted, even as he addressed the queen of his country. "You've spoken with Silver? I do hope he was on his best behavior."

"As always." Maleficia allowed herself a smile. To most, it would make their skin crawl with discomfort. To Lilia, it was the grace of a close companion. "It has been long since I have last seen you, my most trusted—"

She slightly startled when he lifted his head. Her mouth twitching, pupils dilating, as the rest of her face remained unchanged. "What... are you wearing?"

"Oh? You're curious about these?" Lilia fiddled with his frames. He was careful to not entirely remove them from his face, lest he cast off his magical disguise. The faux hairs that made up a pair of bushy eyebrows and a mustache tickled his skin, the big rubber nose flopping about.

"Surely it's not a human fashion statement," Maleficia said with the lift of an arched brow, "though you have always been one to experiment with your appearance. Why, I still remember how you wore your hair back in the day. Long, with stripes as red as blood."

"That was quite a while ago." It was the look most iconic to his oldest friends—and his oldest enemies. Memories that tasted of both sugar and salt churned in his mind. "No, this isn't a new fashion trend, just a little something Malleus whipped up for me so that I could attend Family Day with everyone."

"Malleus did? I knew the magic felt familiar," Maleficia chuckled. Tendrils of the enchantment bounced harmlessly off her, illusive wisps flickering between her fingers. "My grandson still has much to learn in the way of spellcasting before he can pull one over my eyes. He chose such a humorous item to enchant as well."

"The choice was mine. We share the blame for the spell's design. Ah, but isn't it odd? Despite these odd circumstances, we still find ourselves making many happy memories."

"How kind of Malleus to grant you a blessing that brings such good fortune. You won't have to sit out on the festivities this year."

"He has a big heart, that boy. He didn't wish for me to be by my lonesome—and I'm eternally grateful for it. Thanks to Malleus, I can be with Silver on this momentous occasion.

"Someday soon, the day will come where I can no longer be by his side." Lilia clasped both hands over his heart. The joy in his voice was undeniably touched with sorrow. "This time we have together now, as father and son... it's something I'll always treasure."

Maleficia frowned. "Lilia, you don't mean to say..."

"You know what I speak of, yes? The time that comes for us all eventually."

She solemnly nodded. "I did not think it would be so soon. Before long, the sun will set on our time, and it will rise again at the dawn of a new era, one led by the next generation. Our legacies, paving the future of Briar Valley.

“Malleus will succeed me. Your child will age, perhaps have children of his own. Baul's grandchildren too."

Lilia laughed--soft and bittersweet. "They grow up so fast, don't they?"

"Extremely."

"Fufu, you must be so excited to see how Malleus has grown then."

"I am, however..." Maleficia's brows suddenly furrowed. "I must confess, I did not visit today only to see my grandson. I also wished to personally inquire about your health while I had the opportunity.”

The question threw Lilia off his tempo. He flinched, then hurried to find his footing again. His cheer, a mask.

"Come now, I know I may be getting up there in age, but I'm not quite senile yet—nor am I chomping at the bit for retirement. I'm as spry as I ever was." He hopped a few steps ahead, back to her. “You see? I’m…”

"Lilia," Maleficia said patiently, her words warning. "You are deliberately avoiding my question. As our vassal, we command you to answer us. How does your magic fare?”

To this, Lilia hesitated, biting his lower lip. "I don’t want to lie to you, but… I also don’t want to tell the whole truth. It is not within a warrior’s spirit to show their weaknesses, not even to friends and family.”

“You needn’t pretend with me.”

“I know. I know, and that is exactly why I can’t bring myself to face you. Not in the state I’m in.” The wind extended a cool hand to caress Lilia’s cheek. He looked into the horizon, at the outline of Night Raven’s main building reaching up high to pierce the clouds. “The last thing I wish for in this world is to be the cause of sadness for my loved ones.”

“Do they know?”

Lilia shook his head. “Not yet. I plan to when we third years meet to discuss internships. The longer I stay, the harder it will be to let go. I must cut the cord then and there. Until then…”

He turned to the side, his profile outlined by the rays of the sun. Hope seeping through the darkness that had eclipsed his face. “I’ll enjoy the life I have left here to its fullest. I ask that you recognize this as my final wish, your ma… no, Maleficia.”

“Lilia…”

“Please.”

"... By the Seven,” the queen sighed, “I shall never become accustomed to those silly spectacles on you. To wear such a dress while making a request to a higher authority… that is something only you would dare to do, Lilia.”

She folded her arms, her long sleeves falling into place with the motion. “You have loyally served your country as both a skilled general and as a wise advisor. You are a dear friend, an irreplaceable individual, yet it is also you who would be so audacious as to deny me the truth I seek.

“… So be it. By the powers vested in me as Queen of Briar Valley, it shall be done.” Maleficia lifted a hand, as if imbibing her decree with power. “You secret will be safe with me.”

He hurriedly glanced away, blinking back tears. Happiness? Sadness? He didn’t know from where they came.

“Thank you.” Lilia choked on his words. He tried again. “Thank you for understanding.”

Her reply came as dry teasing.

“No tears. If they flow, you’ll have to remove those spectacles to mop up, and your disguise will be dispelled.” Maleficia’s eyes crinkled with quiet laughter.

“Today is a celebration of family. Let us put aside our woes for the future and unusual eyewear, and relish in the present with our cherished children. That is a direct order from me to you, Lilia. I won’t have my subject’s smile wavering in my presence.”

He chortled. The small sound evolved, shaping itself into an awkward laugh. Fully formed, but still shaky at its edges.

Lilia faced the queen, dropping to a kneel. His head lowered, he played out the role of a faithful knight reporting to his sovereign.

“Yes, your majesty! As you command.”

Michael Myers NSFW Alphabet

(CW: NSFW, talk of Michael being vulnerable, Oral, Rough sex, Voyeurism)

I should probably be working on my other requests but I wanna do this.

A=Aftercare (What they're like after sex)

Depending on how much Michael trusts you, he will either leave you and go stalk some people/kill them or he will lay next to you till you fall asleep. The latter only happens when he does trust you enough to where he can be around you when he's vulnerable. Also most of the time he won't sleep afterwards since he doesn't usually sleep at all but he doesn't mind watching you sleep instead :).

B=Body Part (Their favorite part of their partner's body)

Is a big fan of your hair(Even if you only have a little). Likes to play with your hair sometimes just because he finds it to be interesting to touch.(Also kinda helps to distract him from anything that's wandering in his mind). But something he loves even more than playing with your hair is when he pulls on it while fucking you from behind, so that he can see your face and hear you moan from how tightly he's pulling on your hair.

C=Cum (Anything to do with cum basically... I'm a disgusting person)

It's very thick and there's a lot of it. Most likely due to him being alone for most of his life and his genetics.

Doesn't care where he cums as long as it's on you.

D=Dirty Secret

He doesn't have any besides one that was just a pure accident. It was late at night when he came home and found you masturbating, this was early in the relationship so he wasn't super sure on how he should react so he just watched you. His hand over time moved down towards his crotch, stroking himself through his pants. Every few minutes he increased his speed till he couldn't take it anymore, he pulled the zipper of his coveralls all the way down, grabbing his dick, squeezing his hand around it before stroking himself. Every time you sped up, he did as well and when you came, he did as well.

He left right after this, too overwhelmed to know what to do. So now it's a secret and he's never gonna tell you this(Not that he will since he doesn't talk)

E= Experience (How much do they have?)

Zero. Unless watching people have sex, then he's the most experienced person in the world.

This isn't a bad thing, it just means that you get to teach him what you like and what feels good.

F= Favorite Position

Doggystyle. It's not because he doesn't want to see your face, he does, it's just that it allows him to pound into you at full speed and makes him feel less vulnerable since you're not staring at him.

If he's tired though, he doesn't mind missionary and even in some rare circumstances he will even let you ride him.

G= Goofy (How are they in the moment? Are they more serious or humorous?)

Very serious, even if he did talk he wouldn't say anything during sex.

H= Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

Nothing down there has been touched in ages, so his pubes are completely unkept.

I=Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect)

Unless you bring it up to him that you want romance and gentle touches during sex, he will never do anything of the sort and will instead fuck you so roughly that you'll cry and in the morning your legs will burn from how rough he was.

It's not because he hates you. He just doesn't consider the idea that people can be soft and gentle during sex.

J=Jack Off (Masturbation Headcanon)

Has done it once or twice just because of pent up stress.

Just like how he is during sex, he isn't gentle at all. Fucking his fist quickly and thrusting his hips into his hand erratically. Is very messy while masturbating, not caring for the mess he would create

Doesn't waste too much time on this so he makes himself cum as quickly as possible.

K=Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Michael's Kinks

L=Location (Favorite places to do the do)

It's a tie between the floor or the bed, both give him enough space to change between different positions without making it uncomfortable for either of you.

On other occasions he'll fuck you on any surface, this includes. Every. Thing. Even the washing machine, dining table, stairs, front door and even sometimes the window.

M=Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

He has a lot of self control so unless he chooses to get riled up then he will most likely pay no attention to you. But ignoring that...

Get's turned on by you bending over without any pants/underwear on, kissing(specifically heated kisses because he isn't used to physical contact being so intense), pulling on his hair, and you teasing him in anyway, even if it isn't intentional.

N=No (Something they won't do, turn-offs)

Now if we're talking about RZ Michael Myers then I'd say anything having to do with heavy masochism/sadism, he doesn't mind choking or biting but when it get's to the point that either of you could get severely injured then it's an automatic no.

For OG Michael Myers, he has very few turn offs, most of them are things having to do with watersports or DDLG and child roleplay(Though tbh this shouldn't be that surprising, no one should be into these things)

O=Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

For both receiving and giving, he does them for his pleasure and not yours.

Receiving: Being his preferred form of oral, he enjoys when he gets to face fuck you, forcing you to deepthroat him. Enjoying the way you gag from the way his dick hits the back of your throat. This is also when you can probably hear him be the most vocal with his moans.

Giving: Does this mainly due to curiosity and for his own pleasure. Loves hearing how loud you get and the way you grab his hands or pull on his hair when you can't take it anymore. Uses oral as a way to overstimulate you.

P=Pace (Fast and rough? Slow and sensual?)

Fast and rough, unless he's tired then he's slower, maybe not sensual though(He doesn't know how to do that yet:(). Has come to realize that he does get to hear you moan more when he goes slower and gets to enjoy the faces you make.

Q=Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Doesn't do them, not because he doesn't want to, it's just that it takes a while for him to cum so a quickie for him wouldn't be that quick.

R=Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Doesn't receive the adrenaline of risk so anytime he fucks you in a risky area it's just because he wants to fuck you and not that he cares about his surroundings.

Don't be surprised if he fucks you next to a victims corpse, he has no shame or really any morals.

S=Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they usually last?)

On normal days he'll go for about 5 long rounds, max would most likely be 10 rounds(Most being short).

T=Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them?)

Doesn't even know toys exist. If you want him to use them on you he'll be really picky with what he wants to use on you.

U=Unfair (How much do they like to tease?)

Very unfair. Has a lot of self control so he'll go multiple rounds without cumming just to overstimulate you till you cry. Or he'll fuck you so well that your eyes roll to the back of your head and just before you cum he'll pull out and leave to go do something else.

Will also tease you without realizing. Taking his shirt off around you, flexing his muscles, and pressing his body against yours while he grabs something for you.

V=Volume (How loud they are, what kind of noises do they make, etc.)

Most of the time you can barely hear him, his voice isn't used to making those noises so his moans and groans are hoarse and quiet. But he could totally be louder, you just can't hear him since you're moaning too loud to hear him.

When you do get to hear him, it's the most attractive thing ever, his voice is deep and his moans are uncontrolled.

W= Wild Card (Random headcanon)

Has a thing for shower sex and will often climb into the shower with you(You're water bill is very high). It's ok though, due to the water making things slippery he'll go a little bit slower and be more gentle to you. And even with him being gentle in the shower, he will still probably break a few things in your shower.

X=X-Ray

5 inches soft, 6 inches hard. He's girthy with three veins around the sides of his dick.

(Doesn't understand that he's big so your first few attempts at sex are going to be painful)

Y=Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Relatively high, he sees sex as a way to relieve stress without killing people. Some days he'll fuck you 3-4 times a day while on other days you won't even see him around the house.

Z=ZZZ... (How fast do they fall asleep afterward?)

Doesn't fall asleep unless you're already asleep. Though most of the time he won't sleep at all. May just end up leaving to go kill someone.

If you want him to stay with you the whole night all you have to do is play with his hair and kiss him.(Secretly enjoys this.)

Bato of the Water Tribe

Bilingual bonus in the title. Also, completely not kidding, I tried to type Bato and my fingers automatically filled out Baton Rouge.

Sokka's battle reconstruction abilities reminding me of Count Ruegen's from the Princess Bride.

I'm not seeing any flags or other identification on that ship, so I guess Sokka knows it's from his dad's fleet because he memorised what all the ships in his dad's fleet looked like? That's both sweet and heartbreaking.

That giant mole dog thing just bit through metal. I'm guessing this thing has no pain receptors in its face.

I'm with Zuko on this one. That lady is too young for Iroh.

Be still my heart!!! Is this going to be a Sokka episode?

Pretty.

BABY SOKKA!!!!!! Also his dad has either a very poofy coat or a tiny head.

Right out the gate, in a scene that can't last more than 30 seconds, we see that the Water Tribe has infinitely superior parenting skills to the Fire Nation. Mr. Firelord could take a couple of lessons from this guy.

Whoever is voicing Bato (thank you avatar writers for putting his name in the title so I can spell it) is doing it absolutely perfectly. Beautiful buttery voice with just a little roughness around the upper and lower edges, and - I won't describe this right - but there's the sound of experience and familiarity in the voice. This is a guy who has lived lots of life, but also lived lots of life with Sokka and Katara. He's really selling their connection and their relationship (which I presume is like those parents' random friends you call uncle and aunt who aren't biologically related - fictive kin).

Either water tribe growth spurts come late or Bato is stupidly tall. Also loving the toga look. Don't quite know how it's staying up, but it does look comfy.

"After I was wounded, your father carried me to this abbey." HOLD UP WHERE'S THE FANFIC 50K SLOW BURN HURT/COMFORT FRIENDS TO LOVERS GIMMEEEEEE

Sorry Bato, but your boat is a ship. Not a boat. It's ship-sized.

Katara's like 'Sokka no that's mean!' Bato's like 'oh god there's two of them.' Lovely stealthy worldbuilding here. We've only seen Sokka and Katara's dad in that 30 second flashback, which told us he was loving. Now we know he's also funny. One line, and the writers double the depth.

Aang get off your high horse. We know you're a vegetarian, but Sokka and Katara left home for the first time only a few weeks ago and are probably getting homesick by now so stuff it! Tangent time: can you imagine how happy Sokka and Katara must be at having a familiar face in a place made familiar, who probably has news of their dad? There's no indication that any of the water tribe men have been home on leave since they all (apparently literally ALL) left home years ago. This is like Christmas for them.

Quick lesson to all you youngins out there: one day you may have children. And if you do, unless your children have the upmost loving respect for you, you will lose all ability to make them follow the rules as soon as they learn about the kind of stuff you got up to when you were their age. So don't post it online. Don't brag about it. Don't document it. They will find out. Children have noses like a bloodhound's for yesteryear's parental shenanigans. Also don't stick an octopus on your head under any circumstances.

Seriously though, I'm loving the insight into normal (ie not avatar or war related) water tribe life. Adds depth to the characters and the culture.

At the end of the episode with the Blue spirit, Aang talked about how he had friends all over the world before the war. During all this global visiting, was he never taught the laws of hospitality? Or basic politeness? Don't touch people's stuff. Learn to sit still for five minutes. It's not always about you.

I had completely forgotten about Katara's necklace. I didn't enjoy Imrpisoned much, so I guess I blanked that plot point.

"You can come with me, and see your father again" once again Bato's voice actor hitting it out of the park. I felt for a moment like it was two years since I'd seen my father and I was so excited for the chance to see him again.

A surprisingly mature stance from both Sokka and Katara here. Actually, despite Sokka's hinted-at father worship I'm not surprised that he made the mature choice. He's the one who's been keeping them on track the whole time. But I am a bit surprised that Katara was ok with missing out on a chance to see her father. She's been the one chasing after butterflies and that's one heck of a butterfly.

Aang DONT

Goddamn he did. Aang has no manners and no brain this episode. Come on.

Zuko and company taking us on a world tour. Popping into previous episodes is a cool idea.

Haybending. Another entry on the list of vaguely defined avatar powers.

Is this ice dodging thing going where I think it's going? Because if so, I am completely on board.

I finished the fortuneteller episode pretty peeved at the plot in general, but I gotta say I admire the balls on this lady. Only person in the village with a spine (and a brain). Followed up with a pretty banger line from Iroh. If Iroh is looking for some action he should check out this lady rather than the bounty hunter. They could make increasingly cryptic comments over a shared pot of tea and annoy Zuko so much he turns colours.

The most intense Bar Mitzvah I've ever seen. As a general rule, Bar Mitzvahs don't (usually) involve the possibility of a body count.

What's on Sokka's face?

Just going to slip in some sneaky meditation. Seems like a quiet enough spot.

You know, I think Katara's actually in the correct pose for holding the mainsail. Obviously Sokka has nautical knowledge, but I guess Katara sails too.

Can we talk for a moment about how sweet it is that Sokka finds a way to turn his test of manhood into a group project? To be clear, I think his greater motivation was the glory of greater achievement, but it's so very Sokka to find a way to include his sister.

That's pretty funny.

Wisdom is appropriate for Sokka. Bravery is appropriate for Katara, mostly because wisdom certainly isn't (*cough* Jet *cough*).

Interesting that it's Sokka who has a Katara-style blow up over the missing map. I definitely buy this. So soon after a very personal and important ritual that both connects them to their people and - by necessity - reminds them of who isn't there at the moment (dad), Sokka and Katara would both be sensitive to anything dad-related. Normally Katara is 100% ride or die for Aang, but pre-existing family is about the only exception I can think of that she would make for that policy.

"I'm an idiot Momo." YEP.

So the mole dog thing bashed the gate in, to turn in a circle and leave after ten seconds? Was that worth the headache caused by using your head as a battering ram? Especially when the very leapable wall was right there?

Side note, I would pay good money to be able to keep my hair as perfect and my makeup as unsmudged as this bounty hunter lady can, especially while doing extreme sports.

Lo and behold, he gets it. His dad told him he would get it someday. Kudos to Bato for the stealth teenage wrangling that prompted Sokka's epiphany. Bato didn't have to phrase his explanation of the wolf in a way that so paralleled the situation with Aang, but he chose to for a reason. I think Bato and Iroh should sit down for a drink and exchange stealth teenager wrangling tactics.

This is so perfect. Bato's not even their dad but he's Dadding so well! Letting them come to their own conclusions (with only a gentle nudge), respecting that decision and affirming that it's the right one by stating that their dad is 100% for sure super proud of what they're doing, then - the cherry on top - giving them a way to BOTH go with Aang AND see their dad if the opportunity presents. And then leaving a message at the rendezvous point as a last bit of long distance dadding.

Side note: I'm hoping Bato's bandages are cosmetic only, otherwise that backpack strap is going to be murder after half an hour.

Side side note: if Bato is walking to the rendezvous point, what happened to his ship?

How does the nun know about the necklace?

That poor gate gets no respect.

This mole dog thing sure is getting whipped a lot. I don't like that.

Pro tip: if your opponent has horns the size of a grown man and is looking for a headbutting contest, just walk away. Poor mole dog thing has no eyes, so he tragically can't see the horns and gets thoroughly curb stomped.

Would Aang really look this worried about fighting Zuko? He's come out on top one way or another in every fight they've had so far.

Some elements don't mix. Good to know.

Iroh. Forget about it. Bounty Hunter lady has extreme non-straight energy. Go for the fortuneteller instead.

Appa showing that he does not subscribe to Aang's pacifist philosophy. If the bounty hunter hadn't dodged she would have been a thin paste on Appa's paw.

I'm seeing lots of parallels in this fight. At one point Aang recycles Zuko's move, after they've switched so that Zuko is in Aang's original place. Neat.

I really know nothing about fight choreography, but this action is followable and entertaining, so I'm calling these fights good.

This episode's Beat Up Sokka quota is now fulfilled.

This well set piece is making me giggle.

You tell him Appa!

I get that they're the bad guys, but that poor mole dog thing can't catch a break. The trick with the perfume must have been distressing, if not also painful.

Skeezy. Knock it off.

I hope Zuko got a new clasp for that necklace while he had it.

Final Thoughts

Well, I finally got my long-desired Sokka episode. It contained less Sokka than I thought a Sokka episode would have. But I do feel like I have better insight into his character. The somewhat exaggerated attempts at manliness (followed up by a genuinely terrifying need to be the man of the tribe) of the first two episodes now have context. (I could include the Kyoshi Warriors episode in that statement too, but I felt Sokka wasn't in character that episode so I won't)

Sokka was told that he was too young (true) to join the men at war. Sokka being Sokka, what he heard was that he wasn't manly enough rather than wasn't old enough, hence the compensatory manliness at the start of the show. But, and this bit is probably more important now that Sokka is a certified man, Sokka also seems to define himself through serving others, particularly his sister. His dad tells him to protect his sister in the flashback; I think his grandmother said something similar to him when they left the south pole. Having your life's purpose 100% rooted outside of yourself is generally not a great idea. I pointed out a few episodes ago that Sokka has that classic teenage boy combination of soaring ego/crashing self-esteem; I now see why. Whatever his dad's and grandma's intentions in telling Sokka to look after his sister, Sokka has interpreted that request as becoming his sister's human shield, provider, brain/planner, and - if needed - sacrifice. Pretty hard to think too much of yourself when your life's work is to serve and die for another. This also explains why I keep seeing Katara outsourcing her thinking - she's basically been told to, and Sokka believes it's his duty.

I love Bato. I love his design, his voice, his purpose in the narrative. Excellent combination of worldbuilding, character work, and a light-hearted reminder that fun can still be had, even by grown ups who are actively fighting a war. My heart did a funny flip when I realised that I was being introduced to a responsible adult. That's how I know that I'm a proper grown-up: swooning at the notion of our main characters finally getting some caring adult supervision.

I love the family tidbits that Bato gives us. One throwaway line and we know that Sokka and his dad have the same sense of humour. Another half-referenced anecdote and we learn that Sokka's so-genius-it's-stupid manic tendencies, which are excellent at getting them all out of tight spots, are inherited or learned from a father who has similarly outlandish adventures pretty regularly. And it's such an effective story hook! Dangling small tidbits and noodle incidents leaves me wanting more.

Aang. Oh Aang. His problems this episode were self-inflicted, my least favourite type of narrative. I've gone hard in the past on Katara for her self-inflicted problems, so it's only fair I go hard on Aang too. If he had just behaved properly and not gone off in a sulk over being less than the centre of all attention for five whole minutes, he would have heard Sokka and Katara turn down the offer to see their father. But he just had to be an asshole for the first few minutes of the episode, and things snowballed from there.

That being said, all his actions from that point on do make perfect sense. 12 year old whose entire civilisation has been wiped out and who actually discovered his father figure's remains is NOT going to be ok with the idea of his remaining support system deserting him. Especially since the actions he took the last time his support system was threatened (running away) kind of inadvertently caused his support's system's extermination. Of course he's going to be irrational, to cling twice as hard to what he has left, by fair means or foul.

One thing I do like about Aang's otherwise dumbass behaviour is that he knows 100% that's it wrong to hide the map from the moment he does it. No initial self-justifications and gradual creeping doubts. He's doing wrong and he knows it. Shows he has a moral compass.

Zuko's plan of tracking the Avatar by Katara's necklace was solid, and he only lost because he's the villain in a kid's cartoon and is thus contractually obligated to lose. Iroh was not so great this episode.

I adored the Water tribe stuff. The intersecting fights at the end were very good. The Aang stuff was annoying, if understandable. And we'd already learned in previous episodes that Sokka and Katara were ride or die for Aang, which is the ultimate lesson here. It was interesting to learn that the breaking point for that statement is family, but other than that, no new info. I love this episode, but I would have loved it even more if it had more Sokka and Bato and less Aang.

I hope they went back and collected the map.

» @maquiscursed asked: “ every time i touch you, there’s a moment where you look like you think it will hurt. ” (from neuvi, forgive him he's still learning to read the room)

Time is the best teacher to those who don't lack any due to their exceptional condition outside the realm of conventional mortality. Individuals who have different learning paces have all the time in the world to ultimately discover matters alien to their nature or their circumstances that will not allow them to occupy their endeavors with much more that isn't within the sphere of obligations. Same case can be applied to two individuals whose lifespan has already exceeded half a millennium and, by some amusing irony, they still are behind many men that hardly reach to a century of life.

Matters of physical contact that differ from anything that can be found in battle, the poison of the world or divine curses are one such topic that Dáinsleif has yet to learn a lot from— and, at the same time, Neuvillette doesn't stay behind. It would be a matter of time until these expressions of closeness that bring peace to burdened minds would open a can of worms that Twilight Sword was uncertain it would ever be open. Nevertheless, never once he had the intention to keep the truth away from him were it ever addressed.

Like today.

Soothing warmth and comfort are like balms to a wary soul and deteriorated body byproduct of erosion, corruption and divine curse. However, when it comes to such a novel thing such as touch, experiences accumulated for the past centuries make themselves manifest through involuntary reactions that Dáinsleif didn't notice he has— and that he wished he didn't in Neuvillette's presence, now that he has found out that he indeed has.

◜My apologies.◞ Crystalline azures drop with muttered apology, guilt making home of his heart at the knowledge that Neuvillette has struggled for a very long time to make a place for himself in Fontaine without human fear that, as a non-human —how wrong they are, for even if it is just half, he's still just like them— being, he may hurt them. Having known him for centuries and established a solid terrain of trust, Dáinsleif is well cognizant that in all his gentle nature he would never seek to harm him in any way.

But what must cross his mind, when his involuntary reactions may be communicating otherwise?

◜Before what I am about to entrust you, I want to preface that it is not your touch what hurts.◞ For he does indeed hurt at times and it is futile to deny the evident— specially when he's been caught red-handed. Dáinsleif takes a long breath to still his racing heart, to calm his rushing mind with hundreds of thoughts and put them in order. Sapphire irises look at his right hand, bereft of the glove that usually covers the monstrosity of darkness and strangeness of visible Ley Lines covering it. ◜My body struggles with two ailments as you may already know: the curse of immortality laid by the gods and the corruption.◞

◜The curse of immortality not only denies me conventional ways to death, but it rises me into a planar of existence higher than that of the humans. For that reason, I am hyper aware of the deterioration of my body and my soul... of the pain it causes.◞ A pause. ◜Lest the deterioration is heightened all of a sudden, it would stand to reason to think that this pain remains unchanging and you would be correct to think so, but there is one more factor.◞ His hand rises to the spot over his heart, glowing gently in sapphire light with every beat. ◜The corruption within me alters my senses sometimes, including touch. I have learned that my touch receptors transmit faulty information to my brain, which in turn sends a response in accordance to the information it has received. So no matter if I know that immersing myself in a warm bathtub won't harm me, sometimes this alteration will make me feel as if it will scald me. This is naught but a result of my endless struggle against the corruption of my body, so it doesn't overtake me completely.◞

And turns me in a monster entirely.

Stellar pupils quiver within glacial sapphire depths as he looks into Neuvillette's eyes, his gaze drops to his hand thereafter to gently reach out for it and, despite visible quivering, he brings it to his face and holds it in place. Albescent lashes flutter close, fair brows knit in a subtle frown as he feels disproportionate pain acting up. But he doesn't let go— he doesn't want to let go. ◜Forgive me. It was never my intention to make you feel like I do not desire your touch. On the contrary.◞ Dáinsleif leans into the palm of his hand and opens his eyes anew. ◜It does not always happen, of course.

Soulmates Redefined

Pairing: dino (lee chan) x gn!reader

Context: my first english svt fic ahhh reader is from abroad who got a job in korea, and recently moved in with Dino due to unexpected circumstances; drunken musings lead to unexpected conversations and confessions (wc: 2.2k)

Warnings: alcohol TW!!! some swearing, kissing (under the influence), not proofread and written at 2 am, pls let me know if i accidentally included something that is not gender neutral or other possible triggers

The alcohol left a cool feeling as it touched my lips, and warmth as it spread through the rest of my body. My mind grew slightly more unruly with every milliliter of scotch I took. Beside me, Dino swished his glass, ice hitting the sides with faint clanging sounds against the nighttime air.

He let out a sigh with his next sip of alcohol, gazing at the stars above his—sorry, our—apartment balcony.

"Do you ever think," he said, another random musing interjecting our tipsy conversation, "how life was so carefully calculated, how the sun is just bright enough, and the earth hot enough to enable life; how our ancestors had worked through and discovered so much to give us every piece of technology we have; how our present was decided by small decisions in the past, and how one minor alteration in any of those decisions could have lead to something very different to what we know today? And yet here we are, in this moment, drinking together at 12:03 am."

I giggled at his thoughts. "Wow, you really love history, don't you?"

"I'm serious!" He said. "I mean think about it, what would have happened if you hadn't spent a semester of college here in Korea? What if you hadn't accepted Hybe's job offer to become a song-writer?"

"What if I invested in a better apartment instead of settling on the cheapest rent I could find, only to find out one month later that we would be evicted for the construction of a new commercial building?"

"Exactly! And now you have to move in with me—leading to this moment."

I smiled and ruffled his hair. "How drunk are you, really?"

"It's not just that," he said, lightly grabbing my hand and ignoring my question, "do you ever think about how the universe works so mysteriously yet perfectly around you to meet specific people? And every person you meet has a purpose—someone to learn from, a specific and unique experience. And someone, who could be living far away, is suddenly right beside you. Eight billion people, roughly 200 countries, and yet most of us manage to find the perfect person for us to be the best version of ourselves, no matter where we came from. All because of decisions you made from the signs the universe had given you."

I don't know if it was the alcohol, or the fact that his hand continued to linger on mine as he spoke. But whatever was clouding my judgement made me think his dark brown eyes grew softer with every word as he continued to look into mine.

I felt a warm blush spread across my neck—or maybe it was the alcohol?

He was always so passionate, one of the many things I loved about him. Maybe one day he'd get to know that; maybe he won't.

Among all of this, one thought broke the blissful silence. "I don't believe in soulmates."

One. Two. Three seconds. Five seconds. Eight seconds had passed, and all he did was stare at me. Once his slightly intoxicated brain had pieced together what I said, he gave out a hearty laugh.

Oh that laugh. If only he knew how much brighter my days become every time he lets out that laugh. He's my sunshine—just a bundle of pure, genuine happiness giving me warmth and comfort.

But he doesn't need to know that. Right?

I smacked his arm. Gosh, he's really been working out, huh?

"I'm serious!" I said, a small smile gracing my lips. I can't help it, he makes me happy.

He bit his lips to contain his laughter. "Okay, y/n, who hurt you? I mean really, have you never really thought about finding the one?"

I shrugged. "I just think there are more romantic things that the concept of soulmates."

"More romantic that the thought of one imperfect person finding another imperfect person in this cruel reality, meeting because they were destined according to whatever divine power has a hold on this universe?"

It was my turn to bite my lips, this time out of thought. I swirled the glass on my hand.

"It's not that I never thought about it," I said. "I really have thought about it, and when I had my first boyfriend, I thought he was the one. He was almost perfect in every way. Like he was made to be specifically for me. Then things started to not make sense—we couldn't make time for each other, we couldn't communicate as well as we used to."

I took a deep breath before continuing. "I don't know where it started, or how long it had been happening. And that's when I realized finding the one is not as magical as everyone makes it to be."

Dino's hand continued to hold mine, his thumb now rubbing circles against me palm. "So..." he drew out, "what would you do if you finally found the one?"

I felt his hand tighten for a millisecond. He looked at me expectantly. I took another sip of my drink.

"Honestly," I said, "I hope I never do find the one."

His hand slid away from mine. I saw a flash of hurt in his eyes before he looked away. The corners of his mouth drooped ever so slightly. All of this I could chalk it up to the alcohol messing with my head. But no, it was too vivid. His entire aura changed, as if a cloud moved over my sunshine. Even in my intoxicated state, I could tell he was upset.

Did I hurt him? I never meant to do that. What did I say wrong? Or maybe it was like a kid discovering for the first time that Santa isn't real, that there were no magic elves to make them anything they want, no jolly old man to spread the joy.

My hand grabbed his, making him look at me. "Chan-ah, it's not that I don't want to believe in soulmates. I think it's really nice to think that somewhere out there, there's someone who can make you unexplicably happy—that when you meet them, you just know."

"So why don't you wanna meet them?"

I placed my drink down on the table, moving closer to him. "It's not that I don't want to meet them. I just learned to not expect to meet them at all. I stopped waiting for the universe to push me in the 'right direction' or whatever the hell that is. I stopped waiting to find the one. Because instead of the one, I'd rather just find someone. Someone who I can be myself with. Someone to build a relationship with. Instead of a romance written in the stars, I'd rather have a romance written with my partner. Find someone, build a foundation, make compromises. Adjust. Grow. Until we can both be the best version of ourselves. I think it's about defeating the odds in this cruel world and whatever divine power out there controls this universe, without a single knowledge if the two of you would even work. Yet you love each other enough to make it work. You've built a strong foundation for your relationship, something that could withstand anything that comes your way. I think working hard and creating relationship from scratch is more romantic than any preordained destiny. And maybe the fact that having a preordained destiny scares me a bit, thinking I have agency over all my actions only to find out I was meant to end up with a certain person all along. It's more romantic to have a true choice, and be able to wake up everyday and still choose the same person, over and over again."

Dino let out a sigh—of contentment or contempt, I don't know. But if the smile on his face, the twinkle in his eye, and the shifting closer to me were any context at all, I'd say the former.

"I understand," he said. "And that makes so much more sense now that I think about it. It's always been satisfying how Seventeen has gotten to where we are, even though we didn't start out as strong as other groups. And yet here we are now, at the same level as them. It would have been easy to be famous from the start, but building ourselves up from where we were to where we are now—it's a satisfying feeling. And I'll always be thankful for our experiences. It almost seemed impossible with 13 different from 13 different places with 13 different experiences and views in life."

"And yet you made it work. You continue to choose each other."

"We choose each other." His hand moved to tuck a lock of hair behind my ear.

"We still choose each other," he said again, a hushed whisper this time. His hand lingered on my cheek. His eyes continued to stare into mine.

For some reason, be it the alcohol or the universe or just my own damn intuition, I had a feeling he was talking about something else the second time he said it. Someone else... me?

This time, I was sure it wasn't the alcohol or disorientation. I was sure he slowly moved unto me, heavy-lidded eyes closing as his lips pressed against mine. It was a soft kiss, no excessive movements. Just his puckered lips pressing against mine.

He pulled away for a second, leaving me wanting more, only to be satisfied again as he tilted his head to deepen our kiss. One. Two. Five. Seventeen. Three eighths. Square root of pi. Oh fuck it, time meant nothing anymore as he continued to kiss me. It could have been a second, it could have been a minute. Whatever timeframe it was, nothing else in the world mattered. All my attention was on him and his lips on mine. I could only hope he felt the same.

He pulled eventually pulled away, his eyes still half closed. He put his forehead on mine as he continued to look deeply into my eyes. He smiled and let out a soft chuckle.

"You make me happy," he said. "For whatever reason it is that you're hear, the universe or just you choosing to be here, I'm happy that you are. Everyday I learn something from you. You make me a better person. And everyday I hope to be the same kind of person for you."

"Dino," I said softly, cupping his cheek, "you do make me happy. And maybe part of the reason why I choose to be here is because of you. I don't know if you're the person I'm supposed to end up with, if that's even real. But I do know that I like you. A lot. And I'm willing to make it work if you are."

"I am." He pressed a kiss again. "I really am."

I could see tears start to form in the corner of his eyes. I wiped them off as soon as they came.

"You know," I said, "I'm surprised you thought I believed in soulmates. I've never been the type to wait for the perfect thing to fall into my lap. It's part of the reason why I became a song-writer. Instead of finding the perfect song, I'd rather just make it myself."

He laughed and wrapped his arms around me. "For someone who doesn't wait around, you sure waited for me to make the first move."

I smacked his shoulder lightly. "And for someone who believes in destiny, you sure took matter in your own hands and made the first move."

"Believe what you wanna believe, y/n, but we complement each other very well."

"And believe what you wanna believe, Dino, but that doesn't ensure that a relationship lasts."

"I know," he said. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders before pulling me close to hime again.

"We'll make it work, y/n. I promise. You're enough reason to fight whatever destiny the universe tries to throw at me."

"We'll make it work," I said.

We stayed in each other's embrace as we finished the rest of our drinks. We talked about all the other times we wanted to confess to each other, our words lost in a fit of giggles.

"Hey," he said softly. "Can we talk about this again tomorrow? When we're more sober."

I nuzzled my head against him and pressed a kiss to the base of his neck. "Sure, on one condition."

"What's that?"

I looked up into his eyes. "I sleep on the floor."

"What? No! You're my guest I can't let you sleep on the floor."

"Well my name isn't on the lease yet, so it's your apartment. I can't let you sleep on the floor."

"Okay, okay," he said in defeat, "if we're a going to officially be a couple anyway, why don't both of us sleep on the bed?"

I shrugged. "That could work."

He smiled and kissed the top of my head.

"Let's go to bed?"

"Let's go to our bed."

"Oh and y/n"

"Yeah?"

"I choose you."

"I choose you, too."

Hiii ^^💕 Where do you think GE saeran will work after all the issue with his father will solve? This thing really takes my arrantion these days. Thank you❤

Alright, there is no implication of where either of the twins will go after the events of Saeran's After Ending. Now, in one of the items that you can purchase from Cheritz Market, it was loosely implied that Saeran might take a job as a White Hacker which if you don't know what those are, that's basically a job in Cybersecurity where you're looking for vulnerabilities that can be hacked by bad guys. So, it would put him on the opposite end of the spectrum from where he started originally.

I believe that's the job Saeyoung takes at C&R in V's After Ending, actually. Since he does start to work for C&R! It's not a stretch for the twins since they're both great at what they do. Those two are pretty much the best of the best when it comes to how great they are at hacking. The things that they are capable of doing in such a short amount of time are unbelievable in our reality. Yet, we know that it's possible for them to have worked that hard to get to that point considering the circumstance. It's a job they know how to do very well.

However, I just don't like the thought of the boys continuing to hack personally. If they're doing it to help others from being hurt and they enjoy that, it's okay, but after hours and hours of fighting to survive online? Maybe it's high time for a solid break from it. No, I'm pretty sure it's high time for a break from anything that has to do with work remotely close to that. They deserve to be able to choose things that have nothing to do with that.

If you ask me about my ideal circumstance for the twins Post-SAE, I'd tell you it looks a little different from what the media implied. So, for me, I imagine the twins taking a few years to explore the world and experience things alone, together, and with MC right behind the two of them, of course. Saeyoung's got a lot of money saved, after all. He has talked about that in plenty of routes in the game. He has a considerable amount of money saved as well as things that can be sold easily to make cash on spot. They don't need to go to work right away and I highly doubt that our boy Jumin Han would let the boys struggle after everything they've gone through.

But, after a few years, Saeyoung picks up his toy-making habit and Saeran is confident about his gardening. This is generally the outcome that most people tend to imagine for the twins. It's the one that I have seen beloved by many. Who cares if it's a risk for someone to open a combination toy and flower shop? It's what the boys want to do. They want to make others happy with nature and electronics. They make it work as a family business and that's the happiest idea for me. They get to see each other every day and the boys don't have to worry about being apart ever again.

The RFA is still together and yes, they still hold parties. That's something that I want to continue believing in going forward as something they do. It won't look like the parties that they used to have but it just feels right for them to keep the parties alive in some way. However, the focus now for parties is on kids in need. All efforts are toward kids in poverty, neglect, or worse all around the world. It's a goal that every member can agree on. Given the fact that everyone in the RFA has faced trauma in some regard, it's easy for the to agree this should be the focus. It would be touching to imagine the focus being on helping children before something is too late.

Do you think you could do E,m,n,r, y for Eddie pls? <33

Dirty A-Z headcanon game

18+ under the cut! Tw: slight non-con elements

E - Extra info (any other fetishes? feet? leather? role playing? blood? fantasies that they might want to experience not on this list?)

Ed is super submissive, it's when Riddler comes into the picture that the dynamic shifts.

Ed loves to be humiliated and praised, especially when they happen together. Particularly in the form of backhanded compliments. Tell him how disgusting he is for so eagerly fucking himself on your fingers. Or call him pathetic for finishing in his pants while you lave his face in gentle kisses.

When he's in the Riddler headspace, he's mean. He loses a bit of himself and his rationality when he's in that space. Duct tape bondage, using riddles in bed, leaving you covered in bruises from how he's manhandled you. Lots of 'you're going to be a good boy/girl and take what I give you, right?' Would feel bad if you were upset by this after but not bad enough for him to not do it again lmao.

M - Masochism (do they like pain? scratching? biting? being bossed around? spoken down to? choked?)

He's a huge masochist. Loves pain and loves verbal degradation. Speak down to him, boss him around, choke him. The works. He's into it. That being said, he has a hardline about doing anything like that in public. Seriously, don't emasculate him or humiliate him in front of someone else. It would actually ruin your relationship with Ed if you did this because now, now you're just like everyone else in his eyes.

N - Not yet (orgasm delay? orgasm denial? do they tell their partner not to touch themselves for a certain amount of time or under certain circumstances? do they delay or deny other things like bathroom usage or food? do they need to beg first? do they like being denied / delayed?)

Enjoys both orgasm delay and denial. Both giving and receiving. The surge of power Ed gets over controlling your orgasm makes his mind swim. And likewise when you inflict it upon him. Would never ask for it but would eagerly agree to you locking his cock up in a cage. Loves to beg you to cum and loves to hear you beg him to finish.

He's ruthless when he's being the Riddler. Won't let you finish till you solve his riddles, and if you don't? Tough shit. Maybe if you weren't so stupid, you'd be able to cum.

R - Routine (do they have a routine when it comes to picking up one night stands? do they have scheduled sex with their partner? are things spontaneous or planned ahead of time?)

Ed doesn't do one-night stands. Maybe he's had one or two in college but that was pure luck. And he'd be convinced it was out of pity.

With his partner, I think it's more spontaneous. Ed's kinda always ready to go, he's easy to rile up. Send him a dirty text and his thoughts will be derailed for the day. However, whenever he comes out from a night doing what he does, sex always happens.

Y - Yes, Master (what kinds of names are used during sex? do they like being called master / mistress, daddy, etc…? what names do they call their partner?)

Likes being called baby, Ed/Eddie. Loses his mind when you call him Riddler in bed though, like goes absolutely feral.

As for what he calls you, whatever you want. I think he'd have a mommy kink tbfh, so if you're femme he might drop hints that he'd want that. Likely wouldn't outright say it though.

Hello! Love your writing! Could i please request some smut (or regular if you are not comfortable) headcannons with Zed and his lover which is most probably also in the order? Thank you so much!

Synopsis :

Zed nsfw headcanon

Type :

Headcanon

Warning :

Nsfw obviously so most subjects touching nsfw are mentionned even if I didn't covered everything

A/N :

It's been a few days in a row I've been active and catching up everything, so don't worry I'm writing the request in order I get them, and prioritizing league request since I'm more into league lore right now!

~~~~~~~~~~

We won't go straight nsfw I'm going to give some context before for how old I think zed is (it's imoortant for some point)

So I believed he left the kinkou when he was between 14 and 16 years old

And killed kusho in his early 20

That being said akali and kayn were around 9/10 years old at that time

And now they're adult themselves

So at least 10 years have passed and zed is at least 30, just like shen

Now zed being 30 mean he has at least some experiences when it comes to sex, he know what he won't do under any circumstances and what he like to do

However if you ask him to try something new, and if it's not on his no-no list he is willing to give it a try

His no-no list is a bunch of too extreme kink like physically hurting his partner, threatening them and such

He can degrade you if you ask, or tie you up with his shadow, but not that much on the hurting someone side

He became an assassin to save people not the other way around

He also won't like it if you try to hurt him, he believe in firms bondaries, will respect yours and expect you to respect his

However something he would definitely want to try on you his making one of his shadow make love to you while he just watch you squirm

Special training session who end up into an other type of training can and will happen

He has good stamina, you can thank his kinkou training for that, can honestly go for multiple round but usually you won't need it, one round with him last long and don't stop until everyone got his fill

Try to pull his hair once, I dare you, if you do without warning you'll see his eyes roll back and he'll let out such a pretty moan, print this ilage in your head because you won't caught him by surprise twice

Since most of his outfits cover his body quite well you can go wild on scratch, bite and hickey, he like them, but don't make them in place too obvious, the base of his neck and his thighs are his favorite place to receive them

He don't mind receiving oral, he'll guide you through it but is more of a giver than a receiver that mouth know to do way much more than giving order to his acolyte if you know what I mean

Quickies aren't his things, he don't want to rush when the two of you are intimate, he is able to wait and wait a long time for the two of you to be really alone

This lead to me saying that he prefer a bedroom to have sex, wether in a inn or a temple where he currently live, as long as the two of you will be alone for enough time

By the way if you really can't wait, since quickies aren't an option and if there aren't TOO MANY people around he'll make you sit on his thigh, hoping that it would help even a little

Even if the order know the two of you are dating nobody caught the two of you in the act, zed his private about his intilate life and it's not ready to change, you usually don't entertain them either for the sake of your boyfriend

His favorites positions in bed are either missionary or cowgirl, missionary with him on top and cowgirl with you on top, it depend if he feel like a service dom or a nice sub

When he decide to sub, it's with someone he trust deeply to let them have control over him, he don't let much people have it so feel lucky it's also most likely to hapoen when he is very tired

I just know that he doesn't practice angry sex or jealousy sex or anything, he suppress most of his emotions first of all, even his love for you isn't express to it's fullest, and second he is quite mature due to his age, he prefer to talk through it if someone or something bother him that much and then when it's settle down show you his appreciation for putting up with him

I don't know how to finish theses headcanon so I'll just say that he seems to be a great partner when it comes to being intimate, he gives more than he takes (except when he doesn't care about the other person) and is always kin on consent and pleasure to both parties, ready to try most things and listen to his partner wishes

~hope you'll like it~

🌸Request are open🌸

i'm dropping a list of some of my muses bedroom preferences. if you wanna tl;dr; it they're all switches with subtle roles they fall more familiar to. MINORS DNI.

ikki: top / dominant is the life he has led in his years of experience, many girls like the idea of him being absolutely obsessed but the reality is he's the type of character who has a massive praise k*nk, you tell him he's beautiful and show it with your actions he'll be literal putty in your hands. he'd be an insanely good service top and i don't want to hear anyone saying no.

sawa: top / ? now like, hear me out when i say top because ultimately sawa is the type to want to treat her partner to the world. even if she was to bottom, she would be the one to sing their absolute praises and just wish to give them all the love in the world. she's extremely affectionate, and won't let anyone leave having had a bad time.

shin: bottom / submissive in a sense, especially in his relationship. he's into the idea of being treated a whole damn lot after everything that has happened in his life. he has tried both being a top and more dominant, and he enjoys it when he does, but there's something extra perfect at being able to let himself go at that point, too.

toma: top / dominant. the thing is he's not rough at all, and if his partner expressed interest in exploring the other way round, he'd find himself too besotted to even think about saying no. he really enjoys it, as long as he can have his one by his side.

asra: ..... service top all the way, or an extremely mischievous power bottom. there is nothing too much that asra isn't willing to try when it comes to roles for his partner, but these two are the ones that fall best in line. considering that they've already given their heart away, is there something wrong in them wanting to spend hours in treating their partner too?

julian: bottom. such a massive bottom, but will top a partner under the right circumstances. he's massively into someone else taking care of him, but he can also see the pleasure in directing someone into absolutely how to do that. meaning he can then show them just how much he believes they went wrong afterwards.

portia: service top or just a genuine bottom! portias very intune with the realisation that she does deserve good things, despite the life she has lived. she wants to feel her partner let go and feel good while they direct her on what to do, or have an experience of something truly beautiful. when she tops, she likes experimenting a lot. which leads to lots of fun but also tlc at the same time!

muriel: top! not as dominant as one might think because muriel is such a softer lover than most. he likes to lay down, take his time with his partner ... he's very much an official wine and dine type of person, and the ability to touch someone until they fall apart is very nice for him. if someone wanted to give it back to him, he wouldn't say no, however, it'll just be a newer experience for him that he'll be happy to try out ( and definitely enjoys! )

yasuhiro: service top / power bottom. there is literally no in between, he's the type of person who wants to make those he's interested in a time to remember, but tends to have a lot of quicker relationships over long term ones.

mineo: his book has shown him how to be the perfect top, but lbr he falls straight into service top / bottom category IMMEDIATELY. man is absolute putty in someone's hands when he ends up in a relationship, and he will devote so much into making them happy. he wants to pleasure the ones he loves, and his touch is always soft too.

eriko: dominant / top. she'd bottom for someone she truly fell for, but that's going into headcanons i will be dropping onto her page.

kei: is either a top / dominant or power bottom, because kei bottoming for someone means he'll be a massive pain and probably manage to manipulate some control back before the situation go out of hand. despite his usual easygoing nature, in bed he can certainly be the type to have a stern voice. he's pretty commanding, likewise.

yuzuru: moooost likely a top, but works super well into bottoming for the ones he grows to love and care for. as an officer, a lot of his relationships allow him to revel in his need for control, but in other parts of life, when he gives such a wide part of himself away, he could very easily give way to the object of his affection.

kageyuki: ???? - all his sexual experiences have been the typical affairs that have had him in a top role, and only at 29 years old, when he discovers his freedom, does he come to terms with an experience outside of that. he's open because he is so open to exploring everything new with his partner, in a much more explicit role too. if they want him to do one thing, he will. he's awfully unfair to his partner, because his observations will ensure he knows their weakness either way, but at the same time leaves his own so open for the new pleasure too.

aiji: top, for definite, but definitely falls into the whole service / submissive top role when in the right situation. he's a little inexperienced in what people can do while making love, but he finds himself willing to learn and perhaps even find out, given the circumstances he is taught them.

lucifer: top / dominant / sadistic for the most of his relationships, despite his attitude at some points, he ends up relishing in what may be having control over another persons pleasure and pain in particular. despite this, makes an amazingly great power bottom, and is happy to let his partner take the reigns to completely bottom if they so dare. behind asmodeus, along with satan, he is definitely one of the most experimental / lustful demons i have.

mammon: service top or dominant top. cooould bottom if he knew it would make his partner happy, because he'd give up the pride for that. his partner is his treasure, and he refuses to have them treated in any other manner. he pampers his partners, he will turn them into pillow princess'. man will devote himself to them if you let him. at the same time, treat him well and they will get a completely welcomed but new side of him all together ...

satan: usually dominant / top but actually part times very frequently in being the bottom only when he feels like being an absolute menace to his partner. also after asmodeus is one of the most experimental / lustful demons i have. whereas lucifer will drop it into private, formal conversations, he will be the one texting or telling them in public, running a hand across their thigh under the table until they come undone in his hands. it's up to you if you want to take it further, or give him a run for his money for such actions in the night.

asmo. switch. asmo is simply just dtf. he wants to explore every possible position with his partner, and them enjoying it is his favourite place.

beel: service! top! loving and cherishing your partner? he's so big into telling you how amazing they are for him, how much it means to have them by his side. he's playful enough to let you take the reins, and find the enjoyment of being taught just how to make the one who means the most to him feel just right. after enough experience, he'll be sure to do it all by himself as he tells them they can let themselves go for him.

belphie: power bottom / bottom, but has a sadistic enough streak that he will play the dominant role for his partner once he has enough energy for it. his dream role would be to be someones pillow princess, but also he's aware that sometimes a partner won't know exactly what he needs, and sometimes he has a streak bold enough to let him wish to push further. if his partner was looking to explore any further but was worried about physical consequences, he's more than up for exploring in dreamscapes with them instead.

diavolo: dominant! ... unless with the right person, then diavolo is definitely a strong bottom too. he likes to explore new things with his partners and therefore finds it such a fun time to learn about human customs and all the things he can do with them in the long run. he's got a slight masochistic streak, and good puppy-eyes to boot ... it makes it difficult for him not to explore both sides of the relationship when he can, too.

barbatos: dominant, mainly power bottom. from what canon has shown us he has a masochistic streak, and he likes to give his partners a belief that they do have a sense of control over him before that perfect butler persona breaks and he shows them the truth. honestly, though, part of him would enjoy letting go and letting someone serve him without instructions, just once ... but he has to lead to that, and have a relationship deep enough so that they can share that trust.

simeon: power bottom or dominant top again, but slips into the other role easier than my other muses would. simeon likes surprising his partner the most, and letting them see a side of an angel they wouldn't expect at all. he can't help it, really, he enjoys it a lot.

solomon: dominant / top. it's what he's known his entire life, but is the worst tease about it the entire time. he will always tease his partner in public and act innocent the entire time it happens, before whispering something in their ear to get them riled up. despite popular belief, however, solomon is close to his demons - many of whom he's held fwb dynamics with and has explored a rather submissive side to. he does enjoy it, on occasion, and will be happy to follow if his partner so wishes.

thirteen: similar to eriko. she screams topping unless the person she is with she completely trusts.

raphael: exploring, actually. he's unsure the more he considers it.

liliana: bottom! ... in some routes she leans more into a rather power bottom type dynamic but at the same time i think she finds herself happier this way? there's always something appreciative about being treated like this.

dante: top / dominant. a very traditional gentlemans gentleman, he knows no different and understands its the position that he will uphold his entire life ... not that he doesn't enjoy it, of course, he has a streak of his own that he likes to keep behind somewhat closed doors. but given the right partner, and situation, his mind might slip to trying something else, too.

nicola: top / dominant ... but partakes a lot in being a service top / will let the occasional partner top him entirely. it's all about playing a game to nicola, much rather freer than his own cousin is, because when he loves someone, it's all about the keeping them by his side. he likes to pamper, and be pampered, in ways both he and the one he loves may not expect in the long run.

oliver: power bottom / bottom. i don't take constructive criticism, his job and boss are incredibly stressful and this man deserves to be pampered, to have something done for him when in the bedroom.

gilbert: dominant / top or a service top. he could bottom, on rare occasion where he gets drunk, but he's a pamperer by nature ... one of the ones who just wants his partner to feel good, to pamper and to spoil them. as long as theres a blush on their cheeks, a smile on their face and hes achieved the highest respect. he's happy.

yang: top. the only muse of mine i can't imagine a bottom under any circumstance rip.

Drabble - Dopplegangers

"Breaking news - the three idols - the Kagamine duo and Hatsune Miku has recently been seen falling from a strange phenomenon that's been known from those outside planet earth as unstable dimension gates. No one knows how these form or why, nor do we know where they went, but officials confirmed that they're on the case..."

It was the day after the plan was into motion with the three idols having stayed at home as they waited for the announcement that Naona had to say. Soon enough they got a message from Maroon, with the message that they were waiting for.

[Maroon] > [Rin], [Len], [Miku] "Meet me over at the police office in 10 minutes. We've got them."

"..." The three looked at each other with a nod, with Rin nodding reluctantly. Even if she had a fear...She had to see it with her own eyes, right?

With that, the three made their way to the police office, with Maroon waiting for them at the entrance, with a nod and a rather cocky grin looking at the three.

"There you three are." He pointed at the entrance, knowing the obvious question they might ask. "They're down in the headquarter, Y'know, near the training room?"

Nothing much was said as the three nodded before they followed him to L.I.G.H.T's base of operation.

They took the elevator to go downstairs. The closer they got to the base of operation, the clearer they hear voices...Eerily familiar voices.

"H-hey, why're keeping us cuffed!?-- ACK-- We didn't do anything this time, I swear!!"

That sounded like Rin's voice coming from the headquarter. It caused Rin to shiver knowing that it's very likely her faker who's down there.

"Calm down sis-- Panicking won't help us get out of this easier."

That was the doppleganger of Len they heard. He already feel like his hair stood on end. With that, Len spoke up softly. "...I'm not going to lie, it feels strange hearing my voice coming from there..."

He could feel a gentle touch wrapping around his hand. It was his sister, who's hand was twitching ever so slightly.

"...I know." Rin responds. "...I at least have my guitar with me to keep my mind off of it... That and I have you all."

"...Yeah." Miku on the other hand was very quiet. Calm...A bit too calm, which causes Maroon to notice her silence. He knows her doppleganger was there, but she-- alongside the real Miku was silent.

"...Are you alright, Miku? You seem to be taking this very well."

"...I'm fine." She responds. "I know I wasn't going to be let go off that easy one way or another, but I didn't expect the twins to have clones..."

"..." A slow nod came from the half dragon, before looking at the door that was about to be opened as they reached the bottom floor-- the floor where the headquarter is at. "...Well...Get ready, you three. This will be a surreal experience for you, but we need to get to the bottom of this."

As the door opened, the walked towards the headquarter, with Rin already taken out her guitar and softly playing to get her mind off of . And in the center, there's Akari, Hanaka and Naona.

And then there's the suspects-- the dopplegangers, with Doppleganger Miku looking at the ground, Doppleganger Len slowly looking at their original selves in confusion and with Doppleganger Rin lying down on the side while being tied at the chair she was forced to sit in.

Their original selves looked at the dopplegangers almost in disbelief...

"..."

....With Rin having the most extreme reaction of the three as her eyes were locked with her doppleganger's eyes. With the nightmare crawling back in her mind, she started to walk towards the other self, while the thud alerted Doppleganger Miku, causing her to look at the real Rin, who was now walking faster and faster, having now, with of both her hands having a firm grip on her guitar's neck, ready to swing it at the other self.

"...YOU!!!!--"

Almost everyone was screaming at her to stop with her doppleganger looking at what she was about to do in horror, but Maroon, composed under this circumstance, stopped her by catching the neck and body of the guitar before she swung it.

"Calm yourself, Rin--" Maroon spoke up loud and clear, before wrapping one arm around her waist, pulling her closer and away from the doppleganger. Everyone was now watching the young blonde struggling, confused, panicking, in tears.

Rin struggled for a few seconds before putting down her guitar, before being comforted by the male who stopped her from harming or even ending the clone's life.

Now there was tension in the air, with Rin being the first one to openly express this situation.

For a while it stayed this way. A unnerving silence with the dopplegangers thinking that a situation like Rin almost caused could happen. And the silence continued all the way until it was time to interrogate the three.

There seems to be a fair amount of promo trying to sell Nadia & Arman. Not expecting Thony & Arman to have an easy time of it early in S2 but it seems like there is a shift suggesting that Arman's biggest concern will be losing Nadia. If so, at some point it starts to undermine the main love story, which was clearly Thony & Arman in S1. It would be a big mistake IMO for the show to drop/back burner Armony for too long. What are you hoping/expecting to see? Thanks.

Hey anon! 😏

Before I lose myself in my thoughts here is a quick sentence that resumes it all: I am not worried one bit about Arman and Thony.

Warning! Honest thoughts incoming, and probably more than you asked for anon, but let me try this anyway. 😅

I made points so feel free to skip some parts if you just want the answer to the question. I lost myself again. Sorry.

ARMONY - SEASON 1

I'd like to start with this: season 1 had me floored with how well they handled Thony and Arman as a ship. Did not expect them to kiss this soon AT ALL. I had seen promos going around and was still like ''meh..they'll stop as soon as their lips touch, don't get too excited girl'' and then HE FREAKING PICKED HER UP. And still, as fast as it all happened between the two, everything felt so right, so easy and so real.

From my point of view and experience based on other tv shows I watched that had me frustrated at times - most showrunners almost seem to be intimidated by their ships. Like really. And it's fine most times, you'll get a nice slow burn, then finally something happens - but what do they do next when they give the audience what they wanted? Turn around in circles with the endless I love you/I hate you? Happily ever after?

With TCL, they got that out of the way right away. They knew the audience craved for Armony and when no one really believed physical contact was going to happen that fast, well here it is. And honestly I love them for that. We don't have to worry about the will they/won't they anymore - it's clear they feel something for each other and it's only a matter of time or circumstances until a kiss (or more) happens again.

And because of that, we can just enjoy the ride, appreciate the little details between the two and watch the emotional connection grow instead of having to desperately wait for them to finally barely touch hands, kiss or have sex. Don't get me wrong - I would love to see them get in bed together but I'm much more interested in watching their relationship grow.

Season 1 had Thony and Arman build a bond that in my eyes is now almost unbreakable at this point. They care about each other, they trust each other blindly, and let me put that out there now - they consider each other as family at the end of the season.

Let me develop that a little. Thony and Arman had both justified their actions in their heated conversation in the 3rd episode the same way: they are ''helping their family''. Thony using Arman's resources to save Luca / Arman using his violence to protect Hayak and the organization.

BUT throughout the season, Thony went out of her way to protect Arman (even with Fiona, who means the world to her, detained in the Icebox) - and that even before she told him she was in contact with the FBI.

She told Garrett she couldn't do it when he asked her to put the necklace on to get Arman to talk in 105. Not because she was scared, but because she cares and as she tells him later, doesn't want to hurt him. Same goes for Arman, this is more than just him keeping the promise he made to her in the pilot.

Each of them will take a bullet for the other. They really are partners, a team, a family.

At this point I don’t see anything strong enough that could tear them apart. And Thony is supposed to guide Arman out of the darkness he’s slipping into in S2. I mean...THOSE TWO WILL GET AMAZING SCENES WITH THIS STORYLINE.

And I don't feel like this is the kind of show that will mess with Armony unless a storyline really justifies it.

NADIA vs ARMONY

Eva has been promoted as a series regular, so she needs her own storyline now, and of course they need to promote it. We only really know Nadia’s character through Arman, and her ex being in the show will bring us a much needed backstory that will develop her character. And to be honest, I’m excited for this, I love Nadia but I had trouble understanding some of her reactions in S1, and this will give us a chance to see where she’s coming from and see her in a new light.

Once again, not worried at all for Armony with this. Of course Arman cares about her, and will get confused and maybe fight for her, but here again, we will learn more about those two characters AND...just look at it from another point of view - what does all of this mean for Thony? How will she react? Will she support him? Retreat to give him some space? Maybe get a little jealous? And then how will Arman react depending on her reaction?

No matter what happens, this storyline affects Armony and this is what's fun too, and it will make them grow as a ship, and somehow, I feel like this storyline will push him even more in Thony’s arms as the episodes go by.

What am I interested to see and maybe a bit worried about is how they will handle so many new storylines and addressing them in every episode 👀 there's not only Nadia's ex, but also Garrett's former case and informant/lover coming in, and how will that play out if he still is on the Barsamian/Arman case and on Thony's back.

THONY - ARMAN IN SEASON 2

I agree completely, things won’t be easy for them. And to be honest I’m more worried about Thony right now, because she is the one that decides how far things are going between her and Arman. And like I said in previous posts, the scariest part is the consequences of Marco stealing Luca.

But, but but Arman and Thony are linked with everything. Business, family, emotions.

I mean just one example: Arman almost cares about Luca like a father, just think about how he will react when he finds out that Marco took Luca (will he feel guilty? if so will Thony reassure him?) or will Thony feel guilty and he will give her space? So much to explore with those storylines.

Another example that just dropped on Twitter ⬇️

With everything we know (and it’s not much so far given the amount of storyline they have pilling up), there is no way and I mean really no way, that we won’t get plenty of direct and indirect Armony scenes! 😏

THE END

Okay I think I'll stop here and go to bed.

Thank you for this Anon! ❤️ Hoping I didn't bore you to death until you finally got a somewhat answer to your question 😏

Also..sorry no bonus this time, I unfortunately don't have anything in store concerning Nadia 😔
