Hi I thought of something but I don't know if you'll like it, what if you wrote a story involving the development of Marcus and Phoebe and her cat, they start dating and Marcus tries to conquer Phoebe's cat🐱🐱
I love this idea!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marcus adored Phoebe. He had never met anyone like her. She was fierce, funny, intelligent and had so much heart.
But her cat? Her cat was a different story.
Persephone was a black kitten who Phoebe had picked up on her way home, the poor thing in a box outside of Splatfields market and she had fallen in love with her. She was an angel.
But to Marcus, she was a demonic cat. At first, he thought it was because he was a vampire. Cats did not like vampires and vice versa..
"I am not getting rid of my cat, and you will not drink from her!" Phoebe said after catching the two hissing at one another.
Marcus glared at the kitten, who was resting atop one of the many piles of books in her flat.
It started small. Scratch marks in his satchel and on any loose bits of paper that belonged to Marcus.
Then she pissed in his shoes. His expensive, handmade shoes.
Phoebe sighed, "Okay, how do we fix this?"
Marcus huffed, thinking of many scenarios in which he killed the cat. But he knew she would be upset and the last thing he wanted to do was upset Phoebe.
Phoebe was surprised when she returned home from work, and her living room had been rearranged. There was a new velvet-green cat bed and tower in the corner near the balcony and a large green cat tree in which Persephone was happily settled atop one of the platforms.
Marcus was sitting on the couch, the news playing on the tv as he typed up some notes for work, "Hi, love, how was your day?" He asked.
"Uh, great. Why is it so peaceful in here?" Phoebe whispered.
He looked up at her, "Well, I remembered how my grandfather used to temper my aunt Verin's temper. He would buy her stuff."
Phoebe held back a laugh, "So, you went shopping for Sephy?"
"Yes." Marcus sighed, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him on the cheek.
"You really love me." She smiled, and he grinned.
"Yes. And if that means I must concede to that demon, then so be it." Marcus said.

Cold Case.
Tumblr media
TRIGGER WARNING: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND INFIDELITY.  DRUNKENNESS. MURDER.
Over a century ago your husband died an agonizing death. Detectives still to this day are floored by the case which has since gone cold. Now with Jack's return and his apparent blood rage. The wheels in your mind start turning as to what truly could have happened. You sit in front of the fireplace going through everything in your mind. Jack walks into the room, you quickly glance at him before talking.
You: The last time I saw my husband, he beat me so bad I lost consciousness. When I woke up the sun had just gone down and he was gone...I assumed he was doing what he always did. Storm out, go to a pub, and talk to other women before bedding them. Except for this time, he didn't come home the next morning.
Jack: (nervously) What happened?
You: Two days later they found his body just outside of town, deep inside the woods. Lying in a pool of blood. His blood. The police detectives told me it looked like he had been savagely attacked by an animal.
Jack stays silent
You: But the thing is my husband died in the middle of winter. Bears were in hibernation and mountain lions don't live in the area of the woods he was found in. And there were no gun or knife wounds on him. They never did figure out what killed him. His case quickly went cold. Now I wonder if it was a vampire that killed him. One with blood rage.
Jack: You think I killed him?
You: Did you?.... I'm not angry Jack, I just want to know the truth.
He takes a deep breath before continuing.
Jack: I saw you with him several different times walking down the street.
The way you looked. The way you were around him. I knew something was wrong. One day I followed you home and I saw him slap you across the face before you even walked through the front door. I should have killed him then and there, but I knew I had to wait. That last night I followed him to a pub and then to a woman's house in the country. I waited outside and when he walked out that's when I...afterward I dragged his body into the woods as far as I could go and I left him there.
You: Was Benjamin with you?
Jack: No.
You: And the woman he was with?
Jack: I didn't harm her. She was innocent. She didn't deserve to die.
You're tempted to ask why, but in your heart, you already know. You get up from where you're sitting and put your arms around him. He returns the gesture.
You: (softly) Thank You.

Whumptober day 7- alternate prompt, shaking
Shadow has a bad time :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emptiness.
It was all he knew, all he could feel, all he could see. Time didn’t seem to exist in this place, everything was stagnant and still. But it didn’t bother him, nothing did. In fact, he didn’t feel anything. There was nothing. Just… emptiness.
That was until something disturbed the stillness of the place, a voice, a light, and a hand reaching out to him. He was grabbed and pulled towards the bright light, causing him to feel something.
Fear.
He hated the light.
Pain shot through him as he got closer, and he couldn’t hold back the scream as it touched every part of his body. His eyes stung, his throat burned, and his skin ached, but the light did not let up. He wanted nothing more than the pain to go away. Tears streamed down his face as the pain became unbearable, and suddenly, it was gone. The light was gone, the burning agony through his body left, and he felt… himself.
“… dow… adow…”
His eyes fluttered open when he heard the muffled voice. Was it calling out to him? His vision was blurry, but he could barely make out a color.
Violet.
“Shadow.”
Shadow’s eyes cleared and he saw his old friend cradling him in his arms.
“V-V-Vio?” His voice shook, and Shadow was almost embarrassed at how weak he sounded. Vio smiled at him and gave him a tight hug, which Shadow tried to reciprocate, but found no strength.
“Shadow… you’re here, you’re ok,” Vio whispered soothingly— well, as soothingly as he could. Vio sounded just as shaken up as Shadow.
“V-vio what—what am I d-doing here?” Shadow asked, remembering the mirror being destroyed, with him being gone as well. He shouldn’t be here. Why was here?
Vio sat him up so he was leaning against his side, and Shadow noticed something tucked away in his own hand. He opened it and saw a circular glass pendant, the glass feeling like it belonged to the dark mirror.
“Vio… what—“
“I couldn’t leave you in there… not again,” Vio finally said, not looking at him.
Shadow stared at him. He looked exhausted, and he seemed to have been shaking as well. What did he do?
“You— you brought me to… your world?”
“Yes.”
“Why? W-why did you even bother with me?”
Vio looked up, but still refused to look at Shadow.
“Because that’s what brothers do.”
Shadow sucked in a breath, clutching the glass pendant. “I’m not your brother, Vio,” he said quietly.
“Yes you are.”
“No, I’m not. I—I don’t deserve to be called your brother.”
“You’re a part of Link just like I am. Just like the others are. You’re my brother.”
Shadow shook his head and tried to pull away, but he didn’t have the strength. He stared at Vio’s tunic for a moment, realizing something.
“Are you… split?”
“Yes.”
“Why? I thought—I thought that you guys merged back together right? Or… or maybe—“
“It’s a long story. We decided to permanently split.”
Shadow gasped and whipped his head up at Vio, who was staring at him now, his light pink eyes staring into him, but he quickly looked away, almost looking defeated.
“Look, Shadow, we… never fully merged back together. Mentally we were still split.”
“What?”
“Basically Link was four people trapped in one body. We would take turns controlling Link, but sometimes we would argue about what we were doing and… ugh… it was hard. Something happened and we got the four sword back, so we decided to stay split. It also gave me the freedom to try to bring you back.”
Shadow shook his head again. “I don’t deserve this.”
“You sacrificed yourself for us. You do deserve it.”
Shadow sighed and stared at the pendant in his hands again. He frowned.
“What is this?”
“That is what will keep you here safely. It’s like… a mini dark mirror.”
“You made a mini dark mirror?”
Vio nodded, and Shadow understood the bags under his eyes.
“Goddesses Vio… you did all that for me… I just… I don’t—“
“Can you please shut up about not deserving this?” Vio said bluntly. “A ‘thank you’ would suffice.”
Shadow pursed his lips and looked across the messy room. It was dark in there, perhaps to have no light infect the dark mirror. He sighed, Vio did deserve his gratitude. He pulled him out of… wherever he was.
“Well… thank you.”
Vio smiled slightly and pulled him into another hug.
“I’m glad you’re ok Shadow,” he muttered, and Shadow melted a little into the hug. He was glad he was ok too.

Tumblr media
This is entirely inspired by the funniest fucking conversation I had in character.Ai with Scara after I randomly pretended to be a worm.
Summary: you ask your wonderful boyfriend if he’d still love you if you were a worm~
Warnings: just Scara giving his attitude and being adowable and pouty, swearing, gn!reader, crack?, fluff, not proof-read
Characters: scaramouche.
Tumblr media
“Hey Scara~”
The purple haired boy raised his eyebrow glancing towards you.
He had been with you long enough to immediately pick up on whenever you had some form is mischief planned out and today was definitely one of those times.
“Hm..?”
Letting out a sigh he placed down the book he was reading and turned towards you with a tired expression.
“What is it now?”
“What do you think about worms?”
He stared blankly at you before closing his eyes crossing his arms.
“They're creepy-crawly, slimy and gross. The fact that they can move so fast. Plus, they're usually associated with disease... which I would say is a fairly good reason to have an aversion to them. All in all, Not a fan”
For some reason he decided to entertain your question with a genuine answer which unfortunately just encouraged you to continue your curiosity.
“So you wouldn’t love me if I was a worm?”
Scara shot you a glare rolling his eyes as he returned his attention to his book deciding to ignore you.
“Scaraaa~”
you groaned poking at his cheek. An action that would have anyone else forgetting what it’s like to chew solid food.
You heard him let out a little “tch” as he desperately did everything in his power to shrug off his weirdly affection words and hide them with annoyance.
“I guess if it’s you…”
You immediately perk up at his words and taking note of his reaction you knew it was time to take full advantage of the situation as you happily leaned on his desk with the biggest shit-eating-grin your could muster.
“Aw so you’d still date me if I magically got turned into a worm? That’s so sweet Scara~”
“...I mean, it's not ideal, but I guess I could learn to love you as a worm but I find it hard to imagine a situation like that ever coming to play”
You let out a small giggle squishing his cheeks making him look at you. You were really pushing your luck today.
“Sureee but if it did happen then you could carry me around in your pocket!”
“Tch…what you're saying is absurd. It would never happen. But I suppose if it did, I would be inclined to take pity on your pitiful state, and try to make the best of things...which would include carrying you in my pocket”
“You’re absolutely adorable you know that?” Giggling even more you lean in placing a big sloppy kiss on his cheek letting go of his cheeks.
“I’m not adorable! Don’t push it Y/N unless you want me to send Dottore to personally turn you into a worm so you can test your ridiculous questions out for yourself”
Wiping his cheek with his sleeve he turned away from you pouting.
Or at least that’s what he wanted you to think and it definitely wasn’t because he had to save his dignity and hide the blush growing on his face.
Of course he’s still love his little worm as long as his worm is you~
Tumblr media
This isn’t my best work as I’m still very run down but I just thought the interaction was cute and wanted to share it couGh cough

The Last Dance 2/2
He’s going in….  The smooth devil grabs Diana and lowers her into a dip and then twirls her around like a pro.  The final shot is a hot kiss.  And we’re done.  
25 episodes of Matthew Goode as Matthew Clairmont and it’s been a blast.        The last season was definitely compromised by Covid but I still loved seeing goofball Goodey become the smooth, vampy prof.  This was probably his most ‘immersive’ role until ‘The Offer’.  It’s a long time to play one character but luckily Matthew Clairmont's life was such a rollercoaster that Matthew usually had a lot to do.   He will probably never get the recognition for his acting skills in this role, coz critics are so dismissive of this genre of show, but he got to show his immense range and gave us some iconic moments to remember.  
Matthew Goode as Matthew Clairmont in  ‘A Discovery of Witches’ season 3, with Teresa Palmer - Goode rewatch Week 49.

So uh-
I had this idea to write a little one shot where my bunny comes home tired after practice and cuddles ensue as we eat his favorite food because absolutely yes. Also, I'll try to include his adorable little lisp, I feel like it might show more when he's tired hehe~ I also got confirmation that it probably would so yay~ Onto the post!
Tumblr media
It was nearing 8 pm when Nazuna finally reached the home he shared with his girlfriend, Lorelin. It had been a long day of classes, mini jobs, and practice with his unit and he was ready to climb into bed and fall asleep with his honey bun. His stomach growled and he paused. Although, maybe he should eat first. Sighing and opening the door, Nazuna walked in and called out to his lover with a small yawn. "Lowi-chin, I'm *yawn* home!" When he didn't get a response he listened closely and heard some faint humming coming from the kitchen so he followed that and saw her standing at the counter mixing something with her back turned to him. He also recognized what she was humming as it was a song he did with his Unit, the song being JoyfulxBox.
He smiled and walked up behind Lorelin, hugging her from behind which seemed to have startled her as she jumped a little. "Aah! Oh, Bunny you scared me. I thought I told you not to do that," she told him, pausing her mixing so she could turn around and hug him properly, pressing a kiss to his head. Nazuna just hummed and nuzzled her neck.
"You did. But you look adowable when you jump so I do it anyway," he muttered, lifting his head to look over her shoulder. "What are you making?"
Lorelin rolled her eyes fondly and smiled, turning back around to continue mixing. "Well, since you've been working so hard lately I decided that you deserve a special treat so I'm making ice cream. I've already made some vanilla and strawberry, they're in the freezer, so now I'm making chocolate," she answered, feeling her boyfriend perk up from where he was leaning against her back. She giggled, not even needing to turn around to see the overjoyed expression on his face. He cheered and leaned over to kiss her cheek.
"Yay~! You'we the best, honey bun!" He gave her another hug and then just kind of bounced around the kitchen, his earlier tiredness forgotten once he heard ice cream. Lorelin just laughed at him and called his name to get his attention, beckoning him back over with her finger to which he actually did little hops and she gave him a loving kiss to which Nazuna gladly returned with a little blush. Once they pulled apart, Lorelin pressed their foreheads together.
"Calm down, bunny. How about you go set up the couch and we can cuddle and watch movies with some ice cream once I finish this batch, hm?" She asked, giggling when his eyes sparkled like precious gems.
"Weally?! Yes please!" Nazuna cheered and gave Lorelin a quick peck before speeding off in his excitement, little hops adorning his quick steps to which Lorelin nearly died from the cuteness of. She calmed herself and went back to work on the chocolate ice cream, continuing to hum from where she left off in the song.
Once the ice cream was done and in the freezer, Lorelin grabbed two bowls and some spoons as well as the chocolate syrup because no ice cream is complete without it. "Do you want vanilla or strawberry, bunny? Or both?" She called to her lover who was busy setting up the pillows. He perked up.
"Both, please!" Nazuna finished setting everything up and ran/hopped into the kitchen where Lorelin was putting two scoops of strawberry and vanilla into both bowls and drizzling the syrup on top. He quickly ran back to the couch and plopped onto it with a wide smile on his face.
"Someone's excited," Lorelin teased when she saw him bouncing in place, putting his bowl in front of him and sitting next to him with her own bowl, covering the two of them with a blanket. Nazuna pouted and cuddled into her side as she turned on the TV.
"Of course I am! I missed your cuddles because I was so busy, plus your ice cweam is one of the best I've ever had. I get to spend more time with you so of course I'm excited," he told her, looking into her eyes. Lorelin melted at his unintentional bunny look and kissed his forehead, running her fingers through his hair.
"I'm just teasing, my love. Now, what movie do you want to watch?" She asked, leaning against him comfortably. He thought about it.
"Um...I don't know. You pick," he shrugged. Lorelin did the same and put on a random movie, not caring about the title. About halfway through the movie, Nazuna yawned as his earlier exhaustion came back to him. He finished his ice cream and just cuddled up to Lorelin, falling asleep relatively quickly. That was how she saw him when the movie ended, cuddled into her side, a smile on his face as little snores escaped him and he held onto her hand. Lorelin awed at her adorable bunny of a boyfriend and turned off the TV before pressing a kiss to his head and falling asleep herself, comfortable and warm with the love of her life.
"Goodnight, bunny. Sweet dreams, I love you," she whispered as she fell into dreamland.
AAAAAAA I DID IT! FINALLY! IT'S CUTE AND NOW I FEEL BETTER AFTER FAILING A RHYTHM THREE FLIPPING TIMES ON EASY MODE ON ENSTARS MUSIC!! I CALL BULLSH*T!! ANYWAY HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT LOVE YOU ALL MWAH MWAH

For @dreamofme9
Tumblr media
"Marcus, you do realize I have work?"
Standing in the middle of Tiffany & Co's flagship store in Manhattan, Marcus was going over another box of engagement rings. With a black card and charming smile, the women in the store were more than happy to help him find the perfect ring for his girlfriend.
He dragged Miriam and Diana along with him, needing their input. They were close with Phoebe, after all. But unlike Diana, who was enthusiastic at every store, the idea of a wedding exciting to the witch, Miriam was not.
"That is far too much," Diana said, pointing to a large oval cut diamond ring, "Like, would she be able to move her hand?"
"Very true!" One store girl, Charlie, chimed in. Miriam glared at her.
"Okay. Marcus." Miriam stood in front of him, "Look at the rings. Think of Phoebe. Pick one."
"But-"
"Now."
Marcus nodded and looked over the the rings. His eyes were drawn to an emerald cut diamond. Classic and elegant.
"Yay! Can we please grab lunch now?" Diana asked, sighing.
"It's on Marcus." Miriam said, already getting ready to leave.
"We're a supportive family." Marcus said sarcastically.

Form-Three Student Shot Dead in Power Outages Protest in Wajir
Tumblr media
Form-Three Student Shot Dead in Power Outages Protest in Wajir On Sunday, June 4th, a form-three student was killed during a protest against recurring power outages in Wajir Town. Manaazil Adow Ahmed, according to police and witnesses, was shot and slain a few meters away from the Kenya Power and Lighting offices, where the protest took place. A group of the community conducted a demonstration in the town to protest what they deemed to be prolonged power outages that have negatively impacted their businesses and daily lives. They blocked the town's main road with bonfires and demanded that Kenya Power restore the town's reliable power supply. They marched through the streets while chanting "no power, no peace" on their way to the Kenya Power offices. Police reported that at one point, demonstrators breached town security, entered the Kenya Power offices, and vandalized property. Before anti-riot police arrived and dispersed them, they shattered glasses, causing running conflicts. According to local police, the demonstrators forcibly entered the offices by shattering the door, which prompted the action. Yusuf Farah Muliro, the MP for Wajir West, condemned the police for their actions and vowed to seek justice. “The people were protesting against persistent power blackouts and instead of them getting help, they were shot at by police. This is wrong,” he said. He added that they are demanding explanations from the power agency as to why there is no reliable power supply in the region, despite the fact that it is a part of Kenya. “We have to get a power supply because we all pay taxes. No excuse.” He stated that the Independent Police Oversight Authority had been notified to investigate the incident and take appropriate action. Muliro stated that an autopsy will be performed on the body of the 17-year-old boy before he is interred on Monday. His counterpart in Wajir South, Mohamed Adow, also condemned the murder as illegal. "The people of Wajir have every right to peacefully protest the power blackout. I am with the people on this. We've been told lies for far too long,” he said. The IPOA and the police have stated that they are investigating the incident. Form-Three Student Shot Dead in Power Outages Protest in Wajir Read the full article

Chance encounters and hungry confessions
Pairing: Baldwin de Clermont x Nora Olsen (oc)
Fandom: A Discovery of Witches

Tumblr media
Visiting the Bodleian library seemed strange to Nora after being told of the things that had happened there in the last almost two years. But she tried to act like nothing, smiling at the man sat at the front desk. «I’d like to call some books up, please», she said, giving him a smile.
«Just fill these out and I’ll get it to you as soon as I can, ma’am.» Handing her the call slips and a pen, Nora started scribbling down what she would be needing. She had a plan to finish the book she was working on, and get it published before her baby was born, and with only four more months to go before that happened, she needed to get a move on, which was why she had flown over to England and gone to Oxford to do her work. They didn’t have the books or manuscripts she would need in Norway.
«They’ll be with you soon enough», the man said, and she nodded, going to find the spot she would be sat in for the next couple of hours.
No sooner had Nora sat down before the librarian was there, holding the books to her. Chuckling she took them, placing them on the table. «If there’s anything else you need, please let me know.» She nodded, thanking him for it.
She felt stiff as she stretched, and looked at her watch. What should have been maybe four hours had turned into almost 7 hours, and now she had no idea if her legs would be working. Nora cursed herself under her breath for not having paused to have some food, and maybe used the restroom.
Carefully placing her feet down, she braced her hands flat on the desk. She tried once, but nothing. On her second try she managed, but she found herself having to pause, so she could let the blood flow through her.
«You should be eating something», Diana stood next to her, a smile on her face. «I didn’t know you would be in town though, you should have let me know, we could’ve had lunch together», she added.
Nora blushed, looking at her new found friend. «I know, I was just so caught up in my work, I have to be done by my deadline. So time just disappeared from me», she confessed, and Diana chuckled, surely she, as a fellow historian, knew the feeling.
«Well, let me help you get out of here. Are you living close by?» Diana asked, taking Nora’s hand in hers to help steady her.
«Uh, yeah, I got some rooms at New College», Nora responded and Diana smiled wide, telling her how she used to live there before she met Matthew, and before the shit show went down, but Diana didn’t tell Nora that part. It was more just silent, added on comment.
Once outside, after Diana had said her goodbye to the librarian, who Nora found out was named Sean, the two women made their way to two waiting shadows. One, Nora recognized as Matthew, the other, surprisingly, at least to Diana, seemed to be Baldwin, and Nora smiled, more so to herself than anyone else.
«I found a friend while inside», Diana commented, presenting the two vampires with Nora. Matthew came over at once, hugging first his wife, and then his best friend. «Whatever you’re here for, Baldwin, can wait. Nora hasn’t eaten in a few hours.»
Nora wanted to curse Diana for that last comment. But the look on Baldwin’s face told her not to. «And why’s that?» He asked, looking at her, and she felt like she wanted to let the ground swallow her up.
«Too—occupied with—my studies», she said weakly. Both men sighed, Matthew even rolling his eyes, muttering something about Diana being just like that.
«Then we’ll go somewhere so you can eat. Any preferences?» Baldwin asked then, eyes focused only on Nora. Those ice blue eyes drilling into her own blue ones with such intention that she almost collapsed at his feet to apologize. She shook her head, letting him wrap his arm around her back, leading her to his waiting car. «You need to take better care of yourself, professor, or you won’t make it», Baldwin commented.
«I’m sorry», she whispered, but none the less she let him lead her away, saying her goodbyes to Matthew and Diana.
At the restaurant, Baldwin ordered a glass of wine for himself while ordering a big dinner for her, and a glass of water. «I’m sorry if I took you away from something important, Baldwin», she murmured, looking down at her own hands.
Suddenly his hand rested over hers. «You have nothing to apologize for. I was in town to visit my brother, and to see you.» Nora looked at him, shocked at his words.
Why would he want to see me? She thought to herself. But none the less she took his hand and squeezed it. «Why me?» Her words were out before she could think, she barely dared to look at him.
«I don’t know why, I just know that I want to be near you, well, maybe not want, it’s more that I need to be near you», he confessed.
Her gaze was fixed on him intently, both leaning in closer to each other. «Your food, ma’am», the waiter said, stepping in just before Nora and Baldwin could kiss.
She ate in silence, feeling the tension thick in the air. And all she wanted to do was get on Baldwin’s lap and kiss him, holding him close as their lips moved in synch. But not now, not yet.

I’ve been working on a thing - it’s only one chapter for the moment but it’s definitely a brain-puke of ideas I had bursting at the seams... Please let me know if you like it, and I’ll see about posting more :^) I just needed to visualize what it would have been like with Matthew on the front lines...
Chapters: 1/? Fandom: A Discovery of Witches (TV), Adow Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Diana Bishop/Matthew Clairmont Characters: Diana Bishop, Matthew Clairmont Additional Tags: adow - Freeform, War, WW1, Gallipoli - Freeform, Matthew Goode - Freeform Summary:
It's the dawn of a new era in 1915, as allied troops make their way and die along the shores of Gallipoli in an attempt to take back the peninsula. After finding out his immortal body was not as indestructible as he had come to believe, Lieutenant Matthew Clairmont's life rests in the hands of a young but wise witch. He learns that life isn't just about survival, but living in the moment and appreciating what you have... Before it's out of your reach.
"Those of such rank were granted some small respite from the cold clench of the mud, and for that, Matthew was grateful. If not for having somewhere relatively quiet to brood, but a place to isolate himself from the smells and texture of war that he so despised. Tomorrow would be a new day, and with it, he crept closer and closer to his final death."

In which (Y/n) always tries to make Idia smile because of how pretty his smile is.
But since he's self-conscious about his smile, (Y/n) needs to crack a few jokes to see it.
Request by anon.
Tumblr media
"Say cheese, Idia!"
The Ignihyde dorm leader almost fell out of his chair when you suddenly jolted forward and began squashing his cheeks between your palms. Your outburst interrupted the serene silence that had formerly occupied his room, the two of you busy with studying for an upcoming alchemy test. However, your boredom quickly had gotten a hold of you, which now forced your good friend into his current predicament.
His eyes were ripped wide open, and he could barely open his mouth enough to let out cries of protest. "W-What— Why?" he managed to stammer out, his pale cheeks a bright red when you brought your grinning face closer to his. "Please don't tell me you're taking a picture." A shiver ran down his back at the thought of it.
"No, no." The eerie smile on your face remained, as did your hands on his cheeks. "I just wanted to see you smile," you explained cheekily.
His golden eyes threatened to fall out of their sockets, and he at first thought that he had misheard you. Biting his lip, his gaze fell to the floor. "...nobody likes to see me smile," he muttered under his breath in sadness. "Do you remember that one time I smiled at Grim and caused him to go into a coma?"
A sheepish smile grew on your lips at his words, and you couldn't help but let out a few nervous chuckles. "Oh yeah, that whole school ghost affair..." When he still wouldn't recover from his state of despair, you released your hold on his face, only to start pinching his cheeks. "But I'm in love with your smile, anyway! It makes you look adowable, wike a widdwe baby kitty!"
Idia let out a blood-curdling scream, immediately pushing you away in panic. Laughter escaped your lips as you fell back into your chair, unable to believe the flustered look on his face. The tips of his hair had already become a bright orange as he was quietly rubbing his red cheeks. Your laughter grew even louder when he furrowed his eyes at you.
He eyed you in confusion, put off by your strange behaviour. "What are you saying, (Y/n)? I'm not adorable—" he stuttered out when you had finally calmed down enough to listen to him again. "Y-You're the adorable one here..." It had taken him all his courage to utter that sentence, and he regretted it immediately. After realising what he had done, he let out a shriek and pulled up his hood to sulk in silence. He simply was overwhelmed, and he didn't have enough energy to keep up with you right now.
Feeling a little bit of pity for your friend, you edged closed to him to carefully nudge the hood off his head. However, he still wouldn't look you in the eyes. "And you always say you're not a smooth talker. Tsk," you cooed playfully, to which he shyly raised his gaze. Now a little bit calmer, you tilted your head at him and shot him a genuine smile. "Now, what do I have to do to make you smile, Idia?"
For a moment, the smallest hint of his usual grin appeared on his face as he murmured, "You could buy me the latest headphones—" Yet, when you shook your head, his grin disappeared as quickly as it had come.
A huff escaping your lips, you began pondering about a new strategy that would help you succeed in your new mission of making your friend smile. Idia simply eyed you warily, ready to dodge possible attacks should you try to jump him. However, he soon calmed down when you simply clicked your tongue and exclaimed, "I've got it now! How about jokes?" Your eyes were lit brightly as they bore into his uneasy ones.
He didn't seem as convinced as you were. "Eh—"
You cut him off quickly by pushing your index finger against his lips. The gesture caused his cheeks to redden in embarrassment. He sat almost frozen in his chair as you chimed, "What did the fish say when he swam into a wall?"
An exasperated sigh escaped his lips. "Idk."
You could barely hold your laughter in as you replied, "The fish said, 'Dam.'" An expectant look on your face, you stared at him, awaiting his reaction — a smile, perhaps. "Funny, right?" Wheezing, you nudged his side with your elbow.
"I wanna die." Idia simply let out a groan and buried his face in his palms.
A grin on your lips, you bowed mockingly. "I flame to please!" you chimed through chuckles.
In an unexpected turn of events, the corners of his lips tugged up into a little smile that spoke of amusement. It was obvious that he tried his best to suppress the smile, but he failed miserably. "That wasn't so bad," he replied, chuckling.
You couldn't help but gasp once you spotted the smile on his face. Tears swelling in your eyes, your hands rose to cover your agape mouth. "You're smiling!" you cried out in disbelief.
At once, the smile on his face wavered, and he lowered his gaze to the floor in embarrassment. "Oh, I'm ashamed of myself," he muttered to himself — but whether he was ashamed of laughing at your bad joke, or of his smile, you didn't know.
All out of a sudden excited, you inched closer to him and took one of his hands into yours. The gesture caused his head to shoot up, almost colliding with yours. Luckily, you could dodge just in time to avoid any head injury. His gaze travelled from your locked hands to your eyes, and you took the opportunity to say, "Your smile is so beautiful, Idia."
The stoicness on his face wavered, and a smile appeared — his typical evil gremlin smile that showed his sharp teeth. "My face hurts..." he pressed through the smile. "But it's alright... since it's for you, (Y/n)."

Can't get this question out of my head and what better place than here to ask: What's Matthew's natural hair colour? Yes, he's more on the grey side now, but in some movies and on some pics it seems like he's got dark brown/almost black hair? IDK which of those instances are ones in which he had to dye it. It was fairly dark in My Family and Other Animals, though, if I remember correctly. And also, this picture makes me wish that someone would cast him as Ludwig Wittgenstein in a biopic.
Hi - best answer I can give is - getting very grey! Matthew has had grey hair showing for years and when all of the dye has been shaven off - this is what you have -

You can see he's got quite a lot of grey hairs back in 2010 in Leap Year and earlier.
He had is dyed for ADOW, Downton, The Offer etc. and it looked pretty dark for Silent Night as well, but when it is natural then you see the truth -

Sorry that last one is a bit rubbish - but just zoomed in on a shot from 2018 when he took his cap off.
Anyway - that's all I have observed from pics and in person.
Conclusion = SILVER FOX!!!
Hope that helps.
OMG yes - I looked up some photos of Ludwig and yes I see it. Interesting part for him. Personally I've wanted him to play this guy since I saw this portrait -
Tumblr media
Samuel Jean Pozzi - 'Dr Love' - look him up. Brilliant bio by Julian Barnes as well. Amazing life. I mean look at that pic - that's Matthew right?
Thanks for the question @he-feels-deeply

The Assessment: aka the schmoopiest fluff I ever wrote
It was time. Baldwin had been given the opportunity to examine the twins. He had only glimpsed them at the church, so new and well-swaddled he could hardly sense anything from them. This was, of course, disguised as an avuncular visit. He knocked on the door of Les Revenants with two large teddy bears, one on each hip. He steeled himself for whatever he might find, whatever he might have to do to protect the family.
“Oh, Baldwin,” said Diana as she opened the door (Matthew let her open her own door?!?) “those bears are bigger than they are!”
“They’ll grow into them,” said Baldwin. He smiled. It was not convincing. He knew Diana had only permitted this so he would stop emailing and calling her about it.
He was shown into the salon, now covered in pillows and blankets and playpens. Diana re-emerged with a wiggling lump in a pink and yellow blanket. “Philip is asleep, but this one almost never takes her nap.”
Noted, thought Baldwin.
“This might be a silly question, but have you ever held a baby before?” asked Diana as she was about to handle one half of her entire heart over to her adopted brother.
Baldwin blinked, lip curling. “I have had the occasion to over the millennia. Support the head?” He held his hands out. He could smell the girl from there. She smelt of baby. And Matthew. And Diana. And mostly, of vampire. Diana gently handed Becca to Baldwin.
She wriggled, testing her new situation and managed to free her arms from the confines of the blanket. Baldwin shifted her to one arm, head cradled by the crook of his elbow as he attempted to replace it. It was true he knew little of babies, but he did know that they needed blankets and were prone to catch a chill.
Well, she could certainly pass for a human child. And she seemed to be growing normally. Her fists were already swinging about, albeit rather aimlessly. As he tried to cover her arms back up with the blanket, she caught his finger in one tiny hand.
Oh, thought Baldwin. If he hadn’t been holding her, he might have grasped his chest. He felt a pang between his ribs. But also a warmth? A tremendous warm ache? She squeezed his finger, pulling his hand towards her.
“That’s not your pacie,” said Baldwin, trying to sound stern as Becca pulled his hand over her face towards her mouth. He pulled his hand away. Oh dear, now the feeling was behind his eyes. They felt a little wet.
Baldwin tickled her tummy tentatively. He didn’t know what to do with her now he had her. She felt warm and squishy.
“Gah!” she squealed, letting out a peal of laughter. She kicked her legs under the blanket. As he moved to grab her head again, she grasped his finger once more, bringing it over her face. This time, she had gotten his pinky finger with his signet ring on it.
“Oh, she likes your ring,” said Diana. “Shiny! Shiny ring!” Baldwin looked at her oddly. Motherhood seemed to have caused her to regress to a state of idiocy.
Becca pulled it towards her mouth and tried to close her lips over it.
“Ah. Well done. You’ve kissed my ring. You may call me ‘Uncle Baldwin,’” he over enunciated to her as if she might actually remember it. “Oh, but you can’t say that. I’ll excuse you. You haven’t any teeth. Perhaps you might call me…” Baldwin searched through his many names. A memory surfaced. The first time he had held a baby. It had been his little sister. Another memory followed. Loo loo loo loo loo loo, she had trilled at him from his mother’s arms. “Lu? It will be a while before you can manage Lucius.” He cuddled her close to his face. “Loo loo loo loo loo. Yes, that’s nice. It’s very fun to say,” he grinned back at Becca’s gummy smile at his little name song.
She reached up and touched his face, tiny fingers warm against his cool chin. He stood up abruptly. “Very good. A healthy baby. Well done,” he said to Diana, handing her back and turning as if to regard the vista from the window. “And the boy? Will he wake soon? I haven’t all day.” He waited until Matthew looked away at Diana and Becca to quickly wipe at the corner of his eye.
When asked by his fellow vampires if he had seen the children, he would say that he had, and they had not done anything remarkable. They were simply babies. And he would say it in such a way that everyone knew that if they went within smelling distance of the twins, he would tear their head off and punt it like a football across the French Alps and then rip their body in half longwise and use it as skis.
