Thorin's Company x Heterochromia!Reader Headcanons
Thorin's Company x Heterochromia!Reader
Fandom: The Hobbit/LoTR
What if the dwarves met and loved (platonically or romantically) someone in Middle Earth who had a very unique condition where their eyes were coloured differently? In this world, heterochromia is incredibly rare with only a few known cases in the entire world so the dwarves are naturally curious about this.
And you get to see how your favourites might react in this Headcanon style fanfiction!
Requests: Closed. Requested: no.
Warning(s): Minor mentions of bullying and reader's family members dying in certain headcanons. Nothing graphic. <3
Note: Please note I will be changing reader's heterochromia for each dwarf's headcanon to make the writing very different. I hope that's okay. This is because this is mostly a crack-fic <3
I will also sometimes specify when reader is a woman, or has feminine characteristics/pronouns are used or mentioned, I hope that is also okay. Enjoy! :)

(Apologies for the image. I was going to post an image of Thorin's Company here, but then I realized you might not have seen a picture of a bunny today. This adorable bunny image was originally posted by "Heidi's Cottage" on tumblr! Please show them some love!!)
Thorin: (Romantic): (Dark Blue eyes with Brown around one's center)
♡ Your eyes are a little harder for Thorin to notice at first.
♡ The dark colours of your eyes and Thorin being too embarrassed to make eye-contact with you when you first met are the reasons it took him a week to notice your unique eyes.
♡ You had first met at Bilbo's house in the Shire where the candlelight bounced off the blue of your eyes when Thorin glanced over at you.
♡ You pretended to not notice him stealing glances as you listened to the gathering.
♡ So, after a week of Thorin being protective, sweet and considerate towards you, he finally noticed your eyes.
♡ It was a beautiful sunny morning and Thorin was allowing the company a few more minutes to brush and re-braid their hair.
♡ You decided to take care of your own hair and absentmindedly admired the clouds as they drifted by from above.
♡ Thorin joined you under the warm sun and made some small conversation about the journey, how rough it would be...mostly making sure you're prepared mentally.
♡ But his breath caught in his throat when you turned to meet his eyes.
♡ He always thought you shared the exact same eye colour, albeit your eyes being a much darker blue, but today he was proven wrong as his eyes drifted to the eye with the brown ring around the pupil.
♡ In the sunlight this brown colour was very distinguished and even looked slightly like caramel.
♡ He was so stunned by the beautiful design adorning your eye he didn't speak for another minute.
♡ When you finally asked if everything was alright, he slowly nodded and spoke.
♡ "In all my years I've never witnessed such beauty. Like a rare gemstone whose colours are only truly seen once under the sunlight."
♡ Please his compliments are so cute and sweet. And creative!
♡ "It's as if your eye wrapped itself in a warm autumn blanket before the cold blue winter covered it with its' icy snow."
♡ He loves your eyes even more now.
♡ They're a sight he cherishes every day.
♡ Sometimes when he can't see the brown around your pupil, he'll gently move you into the sunlight, or bring a candle between you two so he can watch the colour light up and glow.
♡ He made you a dagger with a beautiful wooden design around one of the two sapphires that adorned the handle.
♡ "I wanted to capture your eyes in this dagger for future generations to witness and admire." He smiled as he gave you his gift.
♡ There were also intricate words in Khuzdul that you now knew read, "The eyes of My Beloved."
♡ This sweet hopeless romantic makes sure you never feel embarrassed about your eyes and also stops anyone who might even joke about them. To him they're something to celebrate. Not to mock. <3
~~~
Fili: (Romantic): (Light Blue and Dark Green eyes) ((This is gonna be long, sorry lol))
♡ Your eyes are very noticeable when people first meet you.
♡ Your light blue eye stands out the most and draws people to your eyes when they first meet you, thus leading them to immediately notice the dark green colour of your other eye.
♡ When I say dark green, it's not that dark, it's simply a very strong and rich green colour.
♡ However this was not the case when you first met the dwarves during a fight against some orcs as the group ran towards Rivendell - your home.
♡ You were waiting for Gandalf's arrival when you and the other elves heard orcs just in the distance.
♡ You all saddled up and you rode alongside Lord Elrond as you all charged into battle, firing your arrows and drawing them away from Rivendell's secret entrance.
♡ You rode your horse past the entrance to the secret tunnel to make sure the orc that fell in was definitely dead and you noticed a group of dwarves, alongside Gandalf, just hidden inside.
♡ Your hair covered your eyes and the light being directly behind you made you appear more like an apparition to the dwarves rather than an actual, physical being.
♡ Thus you quickly turned away, allowing them to finish their journey to Rivendell alone as dwarves and elves typically do not get along.
♡ Once you had made it back to Rivendell, circling the dwarves and feeling unsure of their intentions, you noticed a beautiful blond dwarf in the group.
♡ He stood out from the rest of the group, the sunlight bouncing off of his hair and causing it to practically glow under its' light.
♡ You dismounted after Lord Elrond and greeted Mithrandir (Gandalf) before turning to the group.
♡ Your excellent hearing picked up on all of the stunned, but soft, gasps that flooded the group upon seeing your unique eye colours.
♡ You were simply amused by their reactions. Afterall, your eyes were a rare sight to behold.
♡ Quiet, polite whispers started to circle the group before Thorin and Lord Elrond greeted each other.
♡ "Are those her real eye colours?"
♡ "Of course, Ori, hush."
♡ "Whoa~"
♡ "Did you see his eyes, Fili?" That was a brunett dwarf with scruff talking to the blond.
♡ You simply gave the group a curt nod and avoided the blond's eye-contact before following Lindir up the steps so you could clean up and change out of your armour.
♡ The thoughts circled through your head. But specifically the name of the beautifully handsome blond dwarf...'Fili'. His name rolled through your head over and over again like a bouncy melody that never leaves your thoughts.
♡ Eventually, whilst playing your small harp you noticed heavy footsteps walking up the stairs towards you. You opened your eyes and continued to play your favourite melody as the birds in the trees above you sang along.
♡ As you expected, one of the dwarves walked up the steps and stopped at the top. But unexpectedly, it was the blond, Fili. You greeted each other with a smile and he approached you nervously.
♡ "I like your eyes. It's like the Gods couldn't choose if sapphires or emeralds would suit you better, so they gave you both." He smiled dreamily.
♡ Damnnnn he got that 'Line of Durin' rizzzz. (I'm sorry).
♡ (I'm still sorry about before) ♡ (please accept my apologies....) ♡ (I will give you cookies)
♡ And this is where your sweet romance blossomed and continued to bloom for many years.
♡ "Thank-you. I like your hair. It glows like fire under the sun's light. It's stunning." You smiled back, taking a break from your music to flirt with the sweet dwarf.
♡ He brings you green zennia (associated with lasting affection) and bluebell flowers (associated with everlasting love).
♡ When he found out what your favourite animal was he immediately made you a courting gift. A necklace with the animal as the main piece with a sapphire and emerald for each eye. Matching your eyes perfectly.
♡ You happily showed him your own courting gift. "We were thinking the same thing!" You laughed as you gave him the painting you'd made of him.
♡ It was hyper-realistic and you could see every strand of hair and even the eyelashes adorning his blue eyes on it. It was also textured so he could feel the grooves and bumps as he brushed his fingers across it.
♡ He loved it and you two had the best courtship ever.
♡ You courted for a couple years before marrying and life had never been better for the both of you.
♡ "Your eyes are enchanting. Like the forest meets the ocean. And they marry." He grins, sliding across a small box with rings and hair beads.
♡ "Oh? Is this your way of implying something?" You smile back, sliding over your own small box.
♡ "You gotta stop thinking the same thing I'm thinking. At this rate we're gonna have two celebratory weddings." He laughs.
♡ "Y'know, I see nothing wrong with that."
♡ Y'all are so cute, please have a nice two weddings.
♡ He loves making you laugh and smile - watching your eyes light up with joy. You make him so happy every single day.
~~~
Kili: (Romantic): (Dark Brown and Blue eyes) ((This is gonna be long, sorry lol))
♡ When you started travelling with the company, you had fallen from the modern world into Middle Earth with your sunglasses.
♡ And damn was the sunlight bright! So you almost always wear your sunglasses unless it's night and you're sleeping.
♡ So no one usually sees your eye colours and when they do, it's more just a glance of your blue eye.
♡ Then, one day Thorin decides to set up camp earlier than usual allowing everyone time to relax in the sunlight and watch the sunset as you all ate Bombur's delicious cooking.
♡ You spent all your time during the journey cracking jokes and trading stories with everyone. But you mostly hung out with Fili and Kili, having fun riding alongside them and dancing in the rainy nights.
♡ It was a lot of fun to be with this group. And this day was no different as you sat beside the brothers and joked around.
♡ Once the sun had set enough and the sky started to change colour you took your sunglasses off to admire the colours without the soft orange tint you were used to.
♡ Fili - being an excellent wingman for his brother and best friend - left you both for a few minutes to help Bombur clean up the dishes and find more firewood with Bilbo.
♡ You smiled and dragged your eyes away from the sunset to see Kili's reaction and found him already staring back at you with the softest brown eyes you've ever seen.
♡ A moment passed between you two as you both admired each other's eyes before chuckling and awkwardly turning back to look at the sunset.
♡ "Your eyes are beautiful. I've never seen anything like them. Everyone's eyes are usually very similar...but yours are different. I like them" He grinned. You watched as his face and ears grew red.
♡ "You're so cute. Thank-you, darling."
♡ He brings you blue flowers that have bits of brown on them. Whether from decay, dirt, mud or just the colouration. (is that a word?) But either way he loves bringing you flowers.
♡ Especially your favourite flowers. He'll bring you those whenever you pass them on your journey.
♡ You both play silly games to pass the time where you basically say what you like about the other, or try and guess their favourite thing, etc.
♡ He doesn't draw too much attention to your eyes, because he doesn't know if it's a sensitive topic or something you're uncomfortable with.
♡ But he definitely encourages you to wear your sunglasses less often when you're comfortable with it. Especially when it's just the two of you together.
♡ After reclaiming Erebor he'll sometimes surround you with candles until he can't fit anymore in the circle around you. Just so he can see you lit up under the candlelight.
♡ He's cute.
♡ Definitely brings you clothes with brown and blue mixed together in beautiful patterns that dance down the fabric and across the threads.
♡ He loves seeing you dance, loving how your eyes light up with excitement and joy. Sparkling towards him like gemstones under moonlight.
♡ Once you learned Khuzdul, he confidently made you a dwarvish bead as a gift with the words "my darling river" written on them very finely.
♡ You wear it all the time and only take it out to brush your hair when he's there. But typically only he can take it out to brush your hair and then braid it back in.
♡ He adores you and sees your eyes as just another reason to love you.
♡ Kili loves your sense of humour, your fun facts, all your little quirks and habits, etc.
♡ But surprisingly, he loves your hair more than anything else.
♡ He loves when you style it in a new, or fun way. He also loves when you dye it and will offer to help you dye your hair.
♡ Once you even dyed some bronze highlights through his hair that shone like copper in the sunlight.
~~~
Dwalin: (Romantic): (Dark Brown and Light Hazel eyes) ((This is gonna be long, sorry lol))
♡ Dwalin and the Company were fighting orcs and running for their lives, following Gandalf to safety when you jumped in from out of nowhere to help them fight the orcs.
♡ You used your incredible arcobatic skills and daggers to take down the orcs and wargs with the dwarves' and wizard's aid.
♡ After the fight, you turned to the group with a big smile, specifically greeting Gandalf.
♡ After bowing for Thorin and the group and introducing yourself, Gandalf encouraged you to join them over a nice dinner.
♡ You were only planning on staying until they found camp, enjoy dinner with them and then be back on your own way - aimlessly wandering the beautiful land.
♡ But Gandalf's offer was hard to decline, especially after you'd met the incredibly cool dwarf, Dwalin.
♡ His scars probably had awesome stories to tell and you were curious to hear them.
♡ You loved his style, the cool and cold exterior he had with a constant frown. But you saw his eyes clearly had a different story to tell.
♡ You decided in the morning you'd accept Gandalf's kind invite and would fight for the dwarves to take their home back. "I'd be honoured to fight alongside you all."
♡ "Here you go, lad. Just sign this paper and we'll proceed." Balin smiled, handing you the paper. You thanked him, signed it after a quick read and finished packing up the camp. You were on your way on another strange adventure with this equally strange wizard.
♡ But at least you had someone to talk to.
♡ You were kind to everyone, but especially went out of your way to talk to Dwalin, even if it was just small acknowledgements and 'are you okay?'s. That's all you needed, honestly.
♡ It took a while, but you saw him quietly warming up to you which showed mostly during a fight. You were a bit further away from the group than you had intended to be when Dwalin suddenly appeared by your side and helped you take down the group of orcs surrounding you.
♡ You both nodded and returned to the group, not saying much else until the rest of the orcs had run off or died. "Thank-you."
♡ "It's fine, lad." He simply nodded and walked by your side.
♡ After reclaiming Erebor and the battle (in which Thorin, Kili and Fili lived) you and Dwalin talked for hours whilst recovering. Not only were your temporary beds just across from each other, but you both were given some books to read until your bones healed.
♡ But you couldn't read Khuzdul, so you asked Dwalin to read them to you. He seemed hesitant but after a couple awkward hours of silence and boredom, he finally read the books.
♡ He read sentences in Khuzdul first, then translated them to English before continuing to the next.
♡ You didn't mind. In fact, hearing him talk in Khuzdul was fascinating to hear as his accent got thicker and his voice was louder. A contrast to the quieter English he'd then speak to you after.
♡ It took months and months before you both began to court and even then he hardly ever complimented you.
♡ It took a candlelight dinner, a walk through the forest outside of Erebor under the moonlight and you constantly complimenting him until he was brave enough to return your affections.
♡ "Your eyes are stunning. They glow like fire under the light." He smiled, turning away to look at the trees.
♡ He's surprisingly awkward and shy for someone so tough and cool. He's not sure how to compliment you, or court you.
♡ But he always knows what you might like gift wise. He'll bring you daggers, belts and once even a water-proof cowl from Dale for your travels.
♡ All the gifts he brings you perfectly compliment your eyes. Browns, oranges, soft yellows and simple beige outfits.
♡ Every time he leaves Erebor, he'll return with rocks, accessories and hats as simple little gifts he got for you.
♡ He cares a lot about you and always make sure any injuries you have are immediately tended to, even if you brush them off as simple scratches.
♡ He brings you food and water if you've just returned from a journey and want to go straight to bed. And when Thorin allows him, he'll journey with you.
♡ He loves to dance with you, especially under the sunlight in an open field of flowers. The colours and light cause your eyes to twinkle brightly and he loves it.
♡ The brown turning to caramel, the hazel shining in an almost green colour under the sunlight and blue under the moonlight.
♡ He loves to bring you new shades of clothing to see what colour your hazel eye will look most like when you wear it.
♡ Sometimes you'll wear blue and your hazel eye will look similar, but other times you'll wear red and the hazel in your eyes turns almost brown.
♡ Your eyes are a fascinating sight for him watch.
♡ He even writes down little notes about how your hazel eye changes around each colour.
♡ Even though the colour is also based on lighting, mood and other factors, you don't mention that. It's nice to just listen to him mutter and write little notes about your eyes each night.
~~~
Bofur: (Romantic): (Dark Hazel and Silver eyes)
♡ Your eyes are incredibly hard to miss.
♡ Bofur noticed them immediately when you first met in the ruins of Dale after the battle for Erebor. You had come from Laketown alongside everyone else and had quickly learned how to defend yourself and fight against orcs during the battle.
♡ He was walking around the ruins of Dale to help check on everyone and bring to them the healers and you were ushering children back to their parents and helping people dig themselves out of rubble when you two stumbled across each other.
♡ Both of you were scratched up, bruised and tired. But despite all that, you were both awestruck by the other's beauty.
♡ His shining armour, fluffy hat, twinkling eyes and the soft smile that grew wider when you greeted him. Gosh, you were nervous just talking to him.
♡ Your glowing hair, soft skin, dumbfounded look and distinctive eye colours. How could he not smile upon seeing you?
♡ He thought you looked stunning.
♡ After that day, you both hung out a lot. Whether in Dale or Erebor, you'd both just aimlessly walk for hours laughing at each other's jokes. You'd eat dinner together. Sometimes with the Company and other times with your friend group.
♡ He didn't shy away from complimenting you before you were even courting.
♡ "The silver glows like a diamond under the moonlight. What an amazing discovery...to see a gemstone this far above the ground." He smiled.
♡ "Such a beautiful mixture of green and brown and blue. Like a river flowing through a pine forest. Its' beauty is truly unmatched by any forest I've seen."
♡ Don't let the Ents overhear Bofur! He's so sweet!!
♡ So you best believe, his compliments only increased tenfold after you began courting.
♡ "Ghivashel, you look stunning this morning." (Translation: Treasure of all treasures).
♡ "Do you need help with that, mizimel?" (Translation: Jewel of all jewels).
♡ He loves making dolls with mismatched eyes now. He specifically made one for you though. Matching the hazel and silver of your eyes. For the hazel eye he used a zircon gemstone and the silver eye was a diamond.
♡ The beautiful doll had a lovely dress and hair that also matched yours. With your permission, he cut some of your hair and sewed it into the doll's head. The doll sits right beside your bed at all times and sometimes you even cuddle it to help you sleep.
♡ He spends hours asking you to sing and read to him whilst he lays down beside you or on your lap. Loving the way your eyes light up when you reach your favourite parts. Or when you're particularly proud of how you read, or sung, a part.
♡ Some nights it's just you and Bofur sitting under a tree, leaning against its trunk whilst listening to the world around you.
♡ You cherish the quiet moments you get to spend with Bofur, as sometimes you can't spend time together when you're both so busy with work.
♡ So, you both just enjoy each other's presences when you can. Resting together, falling asleep in soft grass and waking up to a bright sun above the hills, surrounding you both with its' glow.
♡ Beautiful morning, after beautiful morning. Time passed for months, seasons, and years. Until you both decided to marry. :)
~~~
Balin: (Platonic): (Light Blue and Dark Blue) ((This is gonna be long, sorry lol))
♡ Growing up was a struggle for you as your father had died fighting for Moria alongside Thorin Oakenshield.
♡ But Balin had noticed you when you were just a child; a young Dwarf watching the warriors return from Moria's battle.
♡ You watched as they praised Thorin Oakenshield and called him 'King' and 'Future King' depending on the dwarves.
♡ But still you searched for your father. More interested in hearing how the battle went from him.
♡ And when you couldn't find your father, you began to cry. A hand was gently placed on your shoulder so you looked up and there Balin was. Looking down at you with sad eyes.
♡ You hugged him immediately and began talking incoherently - asking for your father, where he was and why he hadn't returned.
♡ Balin took you under his wing after that day and to his astonishment, he watched as you grew up and your eyes slowly changed colour.
♡ Eyes can sometimes take years before they reach their permanent colour and that was how it was for you.
♡ By the time you were 7 years old, your eyes changed into totally opposite blue colours: one light blue like a topaz and the other very dark like the ocean.
♡ Balin raised you as best he could with help from Thorin and Dwalin. You also became good friends with Thorin's nephews, Fili and Kili.
♡ None of the dwarves ever ostracized you for your heterochromia, but instead they really adored you.
♡ Balin and you always travelled to the markets together. You were always helping him when he was tinkering with toys, practicing with a sword (you'd have a small wooden sword) and you both also tended to a garden together.
♡ Growing Coneflowers in the garden as they are very hardy flowers that can grow despite bad soil and drought. Hence growing them in a mostly dry, stone-y environment was a piece of cake.
♡ He could never resist your puppy-dog eyes when you wanted to travel with him. The light from the sun made your eyes sparkle and he didn't ever want you to cry or feel left alone.
♡ If he couldn't take you somewhere with him, Dwalin was fine with watching over you and letting you learn a bit of simpler smithing. He'd show you how necklaces were made and even some rings.
♡ If you ever grew self-conscious of your eyes, Balin would write and read to you stories of fantasy creatures with different coloured eyes.
♡ Somethings like... "Juniper didn't know why the others would play without him. He didn't know what made him different from the rest. He sat by the river one day and listened to all the different birds. Their different songs and colours. When suddenly, he realized something! He was different! But not on the outside!...
...Juniper ran to his mother very excitedly! He happily declared to her, 'I'm going to become the best fairy dancer one day!' and she smiled with joy, 'Of course you will be! And I'll be there to watch your every performance!' It was on this day Juniper decided his eyes were not the reason others did not play with him. It was because they didn't know who he was on the inside, and he was going to show them who he was! And he would dance with them at every celebration! He'd perform each move perfectly and smile the whole time. He'd show the world who he was and shine brightly for all to see."
♡ And many more stories similar to that, but perhaps a few pages longer...or a few chapters longer. :)
♡ You had many books of these fantasy stories handwritten by Balin by the time you were a teenager. And you re-read them all the time.
♡ He'd say "Child, never feel different because of your eyes. Know you're different because of your heart. Because of what you'll do with your life when you grow up. Know you're going to do amazing things in your life."
~~~
Bifur: (Platonic): (Light Brown with half of one eye being Light Green) ((This is gonna be long, sorry lol))
♡ You grew up in Earth with a cat companion that had the same colour eyes as you.
♡ Her name was Delta and she was a calico that followed you everywhere and slept with you in bed every night.
♡ Unfortunately for Delta, this meant she fell into Middle Earth with you when a portal suddenly appeared below you on one of your walks in the garden.
♡ You both fell super fast and you gripped Delta tightly against your chest - braced for impact.
♡ But the impact was softer than you thought it would be. Slowly you opened your eyes and looked around you.
♡ Realizing you had fallen directly onto a bush and a large portal above you, far up in the sky, closed.
♡ 'Oh dear...' you thought, 'Mum's not going to be happy about this.'
♡ To be fair, for an eleven-year-old, magic portals were the least of your concern and instead: 'when mum finds out I'm going to be grounded,' was currently more concerning to you.
♡ Delta - being very cuddly - allowed you to pick her up and carry her around once you brushed some dirt off yourself.
♡ You wandered. You were very lost by the time the sun was falling behind the hills that lay far past the forest you were trapped in.
♡ It was only just getting dark when a group of horses and people travelled down the road towards you and Delta.
♡ You watched as they came to a stop. A tall wizard-looking man with grey hair and beard was at the front of the group and he looked at you with very soft and kind eyes.
♡ Delta hissed at the sudden people, so you took a couple steps back and tensed to run.
♡ But the wizard spoke to the others and decided to set up camp and stop for the night. He hopped off his horse and walked towards you, switching a staff from one hand to the other as he approached before he crouched down, leaning on the staff for support to meet your height.
♡ "Hello." He greeted warmly.
♡ "Hello..." You greeted less confidently. And that's how you found yourself in the world of Middle Earth, meeting a group of dwarves, a hobbit and a wizard.
♡ They took great care of you and as you were too shy to speak, Bifur especially took to caring for you. He picked up on your non-verbal communication a lot faster than the others did and helped you climb onto the horses every morning.
♡ He helped you down every evening and made sure you were given food first every dinner and breakfast. He even made sure there were on-the-road snacks just for you to have lunch.
♡ Bifur never pushed boundaries or made you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Quite the opposite actually, you felt safer with him rather than anyone else. Perhaps it was because he didn't expect you to talk, or respond.
♡ Nor did he ever push you to verbally communicate when you were still feeling too shy or scared.
♡ Although in our eyes the dwarves are incredibly friendly and kind and not very intimidating - save Dwalin - to an eleven-year-old, they were quite the scary, loud and unpredictable bunch.
♡ Laughing loudly quite suddenly, or grabbing food quite quickly and talking and singing all the time. You found you couldn't guess what they'd do next, but you also grew to love that chaos about them.
♡ Bifur was actually the first to pet Delta when you joined the Company on their adventure. He pet her to reassure you that you were both safe with the group.
♡ And yes, that worked perfectly. You stuck with them the whole journey and whilst they took extra care in keeping you safe, secure and out of danger, you still had to do a fair bit of running to keep up.
♡ Especially after you lost the ponies to the goblins. The Company was tempted to leave you with the Elves of Rivendell but Thorin immediately denied the idea and made sure you travelled with them.
♡ Lord Elrond had been very kind to you though and gave you paper and ink to draw with. You spent hours in Rivendell drawing flowers for the Company and showing them off proudly at night.
♡ They were very impressed and encouraging.
♡ But back to Bifur and you!
♡ At night when you were first adjusting to the new environment, you became terrified by the lack of light and began to cry, holding onto Delta for comfort. Bifur took notice immediately having been on first watch.
♡ He quietly called you over and came to get you. He then let you sit beside him as he watched over the camp and told you silly little stories via charades and shadow puppets. He used what was left of the fire's light for the shadow puppets.
♡ You became calmer and happier as the stories progressed and eventually you had drifted to sleep. You felt safe and you had a purring cat on your lap, so why wouldn't you feel safe?
♡ Bifur made sure you were supported and had a pillow to sleep on, letting you use his. He gave you a couple back pats as you drifted off until finally you were asleep and no longer crying.
♡ He went back to watch and kept an eye on you in case you had nightmares, but you slept just fine.
♡ As you may have noticed, the Company hasn't had much to remark about your unique eye colour.
♡ This is because your eyes a slightly harder to notice a difference in. The brown is very bright and the green is a soft shade that almost perfectly blends with the brown half of your eye.
♡ This perfect blend of colours made it harder for them to notice that the colours were different on your smaller eyes that you often avoided meeting people's gazes with.
♡ But they noticed it almost right away on Delta and thought she looked adorable.
♡ Bifur thought she was quite a lucky little kitty to be loved by someone so kind despite her unique eyes. Then one day you spoke up as they compliment Delta's eyes and asked about them.
♡ "Yeah, I was really excited when we found her. My mother said it was a big coincidence that we found a cat with the same coloured eyes as me." You softly laughed, petting Delta with a smile.
♡ The Company was quite for a while before Bifur finally made them ask you more about it.
♡ "What do you mean, child?"
♡ So you showed them. "I thought my eyes were very noticeable." You giggled, letting the light enhance the colours.
♡ Overall, your eyes are less noticeable, but Bifur made sure you knew that your eyes changed nothing about you. You were more than your outward appearance.
♡ But also, this is Bifur we're talking about. He brushes things off very fast when it doesn't seem that important.
♡ If you ever feel insecure? He'll grab a translator (Bofur) and make sure you know that your eyes will never change how others see you. Especially when your eyes are so pretty.
♡ He's great, but in a quiet way. He brings no attention to your eyes, mostly not noticing anything different regardless and only talks about them when you do. Like I said, he'd never push you to talk about stuff you don't want to.
♡ Bifur simply wants to make sure you survive in this new world and grow up just fine.
~~~
Ori: (Platonic): (Yellow and Grey)
♡ Ori was excited to travel with his friends and family and to go on such a daring adventure across Middle Earth to retake the mountain of Erebor.
♡ He was especially excited to join his family in some food at an apparently "very welcoming hobbit"s home.
♡ So when the Company showed up at Bilbo's home unannounced and without much more knowledge from the Wizard on who exactly this hobbit was, they were very surprised to find a young adult hobbit living with the older hobbit.
♡ About Ori's age, roughly 18 or so if you convert their ages to human years.
♡ Ori was excited to meet someone else his age, aside from Fili and Kili who were slightly older. So you can imagine everyone's surprise when they see her eyes in the bright candlelight.
♡ Now they've seen grey eyes, especially on older dwarves. This wasn't an uncommon eye colour at all.
♡ But yellow? Yellow eyes? And grey? Both? At the same time, but in a different eye each?
♡ That was certainly new.
♡ You didn't mind all their questions at first. Until they asked how it happened to which you had no clue. You didn't understand genetics, or biology and how could you? You were a simple florist who designed bouquets for any occasion a hobbit asked for.
♡ Anniversary? Roses, carnations and peonies. Birthday? Dahlias, orchids and chrysanthemums. Apology? Tulips, daffodils and lilies of the valley.
♡ But biology? All you could think of in your head was sunflowers and azalea for yellow; and low ho silver iris and edelweiss flowers for grey.
♡ But that was your brain designing a bouquet after your eye colours. Not the knowledge of how your eye colours came to be.
♡ Young Ori was especially fascinated by your eyes. How the grey would turn into an almost soft, pastel yellow in the candlelight and your yellow eye would glow like embers from a fire.
♡ When you were allowed to travel with the group, Ori watched as your grey eye glowed silver in the moonlight and the yellow glowed like a soft gold.
♡ You and Ori got along greatly and had lots of fun just talking about flowers and art. Ori would show you his sketches and they were so good you could pick out each individual flower he drew without needing to see his references.
♡ You were thankful he never judged you for your eyes. He was probably the first friend you had that didn't immediately judge you for looking a little different or 'weird' as others would say.
♡ He was super sweet and he even drew your eyes as best he could when sketching. You were more than happy to model for him as the sound of his sketching helped lull you into a cozy sleep late at night.
♡ This especially helped as the climate got colder and the floor harder to rest on. He can also read.
♡ So he'd sometimes read a book very quietly to you as you both huddled around the fire. You didn't understand the written dwarvish in front of you, but Ori was careful with his translations and the stories were very interesting.
♡ He said he only brought a couple of copies of books from back home, that way it wouldn't matter if he lost these books, he'd still have the originals. (In case you were worried).
♡ The stories of birds, dwarves, dragons and grand adventures kept your interest whilst sending you off to sleep. You dreamt about these grand stories. No wonder they were Ori's favourites.
♡ He was so sweet and always complimented your eyes. So you always complimented his eyes back. It was like having a brother. Similar to how Bilbo was almost like a father to you since he took you in eight years ago.
♡ You were a lost hobbit from a small hobbit town that was quite a while away from the Shire. Your parents died of disease and you were terrified of being next.
♡ But Bilbo properly nursed you back to good health and helped you through the grief and acceptance.
♡ And now here you were. Standing strong and with new friends, watching your 'father' flirt terribly with the leader of the group, Thorin.
♡ It was pretty funny and you and Ori got to joke about it lots when the other's wouldn't hear.
♡ Ori never once purposefully draws attention to you or your eyes, but he'll always be there if you speak up or someone else does.
♡ Like a protective older brother. He learned a lot from Dori.

Dori: (Platonic): (Silver and Dark Brown) ((This is gonna be long, sorry lol))
♡ When you were born, like most babies, you had very blue eyes. Just like your parents.
♡ But as you grew older, your parents watched with worry as your eyes changed. One eye getting lighter and lighter every day as the other became darker and darker.
♡ Your parents tried not to be too worried. After all, a local doctor said it was natural for children's eyes to change colour some weeks, and even years, after birth.
♡ But by the time you were 5 years old, one eye was completely silver and the other was a very dark brown. Your parents did their best to help you feel normal and to always comfort you after other children's strange or mean comments.
♡ Despite all that though, sometimes you wished you had an older sibling that could be by your side growing up. Someone to play games with, read books with, bake food with, etc. The other children were scared because your eyes made you 'different'.
♡ So they avoided you for many years. By the time you were an adult, you felt very insecure and styled your hair to fall over your silver eye as, 'brown is more common', children kept saying.
♡ During your first ever adventure outside of your small human village, you discovered a wandering grey wizard who took great interest in your clothing. You were wonderful at sewing and embroidery and he loved seeing all the intricate flowers, dragons and designs you had done on your clothing.
♡ He was especially surprised to find out you even sewed all your clothing yourself. He invited you to join him and the elves of Rivendell, of whom he was on his way to surprise with a visit. "They are very skilled with the fine arts such as embroidery and could teach you anything you wished to know about the art." He promised with a mysterious glint in his eyes.
♡ You ignored the thought at the back of your mind that wondered what he was planning and instead accepted his offer immediately. And he was right. Lord Elrond was very welcoming and taught you a great deal about sewing and embroidery. He even offered for you to visit as often as you liked between your future travels and you excitedly accepted.
♡ (Now the moment you've all been waiting for)
♡ One day after you had returned to Rivendell, a group of Dwarves and a hobbit showed up alongside a familiar wizard. You noticed them when they walked up the steps into Rivendell, following Lord Elrond who gave you a curt nod.
♡ You smiled and waved back, still holding a stunning Elven dress in your hands that you'd been embroidering. The elves had helped you to make it for special occasions if you ever wanted to join their celebrations in proper Elvish attired.
♡ Despite friendly nods from the hobbit and wizard, the Dwarves didn't really acknowledge you all that much - aside from glances to see if you were elf or human.
♡ But during a dinner with the elves and guests, they got to know you a bit more. Especially when you laughed and cheered to their songs and dances.
♡ You couldn't possibly be all that bad if you liked their music.
♡ They were there for weeks and during that time you slowly got to know them. An older dwarf, who was the eldest of his brothers, would especially spend time talking with you after you shared interest in wine.
♡ Every time you tried a new wine with him, he'd make sure to tell you all the cool details and facts about where and how it was grown, as well as how long it was left, why it should be left for however long, etc.
♡ You can now predict how long a wine should be left for based on how it was made. You also can sort of tell how aged a wine is by its taste. Not really, but you try and Dori gives you extra credit for that.
♡ His own brothers sympathize with the random wine and grapevine knowledge you'll be left knowing for the rest of your life. They too were subjected to hours of drunk Dori's stories and trivia.
♡ But the family was fun to hangout with - especially when they were completely drunk - so you didn't mind all that much.
♡ One day whilst you were drinking, Ori suddenly spoke up and asked, "Excuse me, (Y/N), but why does your hair cover one of your eyes? Doesn't that just make it harder to see?"
♡ "Aw, leave them alone, Ori." Bofur spoke up from the corner, smoking. "I think it's a cute style, (Y/N)." He gave a quick thumbs up.
♡ You returned it with a smile. "Nah, I don't mind the question." You chuckled, replying simply, "It is a bit hard to see with, but it doesn't affect my sight that much."
♡ You didn't feel comfortable telling anyone about your eye colour at that point. But Dori somehow sensed that something was a little off with your reply. He didn't pry, but he used his exquisite big brother skills to deduce a perfect solution to your current discomfort.
♡ Cheese.
♡ Therefore, Dori discreetly elbowed your arm and like a proper 'Wine Aunt' that visits every Christmas, he snuck you a little gift - a piece of cheese - when no one was looking and gave you a little nod of encouragement.
♡ "Thanks, Dori." You whispered when everyone was singing loudly and distracted.
♡ "No worries, kid." He grinned.
♡ Months went by, then years after they took back Erebor from Smaug. And you remained good friends with the Company and Bilbo. It was this winter you had decided to visit, your big brother figure Dori.
♡ During the time they were adventuring you opened up to Lord Elrond about your eye colours and he helped you feel more confident and comfortable with your appearance.
♡ It was the small things. Like the elves helping you change your hairstyle ever so slightly to show both your eyes and to frame your face better. Silver jewelry and beautiful leather clothes, boots and gauntlets.
♡ But all they did helped you so much, you'd almost forgotten there was anything different about you to begin with.
♡ So when you visited the dwarves, it's safe to say that jaws dropped.
♡ After all, heterochromia is one thing. SILVER heterochromia is another. Your eyes matched the fallen snow. The silver jewelry that adorned your ears as gifts from the kind elves. The silver moonlight that shone behind you when you entered the mountain.
♡ Bofur and Nori couldn't stop complimenting how beautiful it was and Ori desperately wanted to draw you. He'd never seen someone with two, beautiful eye colours and he wanted to remember the incredible sight.
♡ Dori basically became a temporary bodyguard by making sure no one was asking weird questions, or crossing your boundaries. He made sure to take you to a nice, quiet corner for some wine if you got overwhelmed by the attention.
♡ Your first night there was chaotic, but Dori had your back.
♡ He wasn't about to let anyone upset you. The group really helped you feel comfortable and confident. Adults being curious about such a phenomenon is very different to growing up with adults that feared the change.
♡ One day, Dori surprised you with a jeweled dagger the company had gotten together to make for you. "So you can stab anyone who insults you." Said Dori.
♡ "So you may defend yourself from danger, orcs, goblins or bandits." Corrected Thorin.
♡ "Or so you can look like a cool warrior facing off against wild beasts when hunting." Encouraged Ori.
♡ "Alright, alright. But it's also for stabbing." Dori huffed.
♡ "Guys, thank-you all so much for this." You smiled gratefully. The dagger was adorned with two jewels. A smokey quartz and a crystal. It matched your eyes.
♡ "It was Dori's idea." Balin grinned, throwing Dori under the river with his callout.
♡ "Well. Any decent person should carry a proper weapon of high quality. You see, higher quality daggers made by dwarves have a much better chance at actually piercing through veins and arteries with one cut and swing rather than the duller man-made blades that you sort of have to saw into an enemy's skin to pierce it deep enough to cause any proper damage...and of course that means the enemies will find their tough skin to be no match to the stronger, well smithed metal of dwarven craftmanship." Dori ranted in defense. Rambling a little, but you didn't mind.
♡ "Fascinating." You listened with awe.
♡ "You didn't catch half of that, did you?" Balin raised an eyebrow, watching you with a knowing-look.
♡ "Well, I understood half of it." You grinned honestly.
♡ "Ah, well allow me to explain slower." Dori cleared his throat and began with an added distant groan from Nori who'd heard all this several times growing up with his big brother.
♡ It was worth listening to Dori's explanations, facts and stories though. He was well-spoken, explained anything you missed and clarified anything you didn't understand. Like a big brother you had always wanted to be there for you.
~~~
Nori: (Romantic): (Orange and Dark Blue) ((This is gonna be very long, sorry lol))
♡ "If you let me sail, we'd be there by now." You huffed as Bard sailed the boat to the shores where the wine barrels wash up (after the Wood Elves let them out of the cellar of the Woodland Realm).
♡ Bard and you grew up together. You first met each other when your parents had decided to fish in the same spot out of Laketown and he pointed at you confidently saying, "You're weird."
♡ Other than the fish you were wearing on your head for a hat, you had no clue what would cause him to say such a thing to you.
♡ 'It must be because my eyes are two different colours!' You finally decided. After all, most other kids didn't like you for that reason. Apparently orange eyes were strange - especially when your other eye is a strikingly dark blue in comparison.
♡ "You're weird too!" You finally declared back.
♡ "At least I'm not wearing a fish for a hat." He rolled his eyes.
♡ "How dare you insult Saltwater the Third!"
♡ "What? Did you eat the other two?"
♡ "Daddd!!!!!" And that's how you two met as children.
♡ Don't worry, you still had a fish hat and you wore it all the time. The current one you had is Saltwater the Forty-Seventh if you were curious.
♡ Back to the present moment you two were in, he simply responded logically, "If you sailed us, the boat would be on the shore and the wine barrels would be in the water."
♡ "I don't see a problem with that. We could surf the barrels back to town."
♡ "Alright, (Y/N). You win. If you can surf a wine barrel all the way back to town, I'll let you drive the boat next time." Bard bet with a grin.
♡ "Deal. I'll be seeing you in town, later." You smugly smiled back.
♡ "Yeah. Tomorrow." Bard laughed. You couldn't help but laugh with him as the boat came to a stop along the shore. "Alright, let's go find those barrels." He sighed, hoping down and tying the boat to a makeshift post.
♡ You scouted ahead as he tied the ship up and saw the barrels further down the shoreline than usual. This isn't too odd considering the river's currents can be unpredictable. But it was the start to a very different day.
♡ The barrels were further up the shore - at a very rocky point - which meant you now had to climb up the rocky hill to go around a bunch of trees hanging at the edge of a cliff above the water to get to the opposite shore.
♡ You were halfway up when you thought about calling to Bard to let him know about the barrels when you heard water sloshing, footsteps and hushed voices nearby.
♡ There was no way it was Bard so you crouched down and watched a young dwarf with brown hair walk to the edge of the cliff not too far from you and sit down.
♡ He was emptying his boots of a lot of water right beside one of the barrels that you had first spotted from a distance.
♡ Upon closer inspection down below beside said barrel was another dwarf, a bit bigger with very grey hair that matched the rocks and a light coloured tunic that looked like dirt. Or was just very dirty. Either way he was basically camouflaged until you looked more carefully.
♡ 'Okay, so two dwarves near the barrels that elves use. I'm sure that's just a strange coincidence and they're just travellers.' You thought to yourself. Bard was only just climbing up the hill to join you so you decided to sneak around and spotted more dwarves that were seated behind boulders.
♡ 'Never mind, that's a lot more than two.' You mentally groaned. You snuck back to Bard just as he made it to the top of the hill. You pointed at the dwarves and used charades to count out 'thirteen' to Bard. His mouth gaped open and with a roll of his eyes he grabbed his bow from his back.
♡ 'Seriously?' You mouthed gobsmacked his first instinct was to shoot and ask questions later.
♡ 'There's more of them than of us.' He mouthed back whilst drawing his arrow back and aiming at the younger dwarf.
♡ 'So what? You're just going to shoot them?' You glared. He met your gaze again.
♡ 'It's not going to kill them.' He argued.
♡ 'I don't think that's the point here.' You finished and he reluctantly relaxed his drawstring.
♡ 'Fine. Just let me intimidate them.' He finally mouthed to you as the young dwarf was emptying out his other shoe now. He sneaked past you, drew back his drawstring once more and stood up to be clearly seen. The young dwarf froze in place and slowly turned around to look up at Bard. You decided to just watch from a distance, only having the skill to fight with a dagger for self-defense.
♡ He must've had all the dwarves' attention by now, still aiming his arrow at the same poor young dwarf. Bard's attention then shifted to the other dwarf who quickly stood up and grabbed a large branch - prepared to defend everyone.
♡ Bard then took his shot, the arrow whizzing straight into the branch's wood. Another dwarf in the distance, this one looking younger, picked up a rock and went to hurl it to Bard - but Bard was quicker and he shot the stone out of the dwarf's hand with another arrow. "Do it again, and you're dead." Bard threatened with another arrow drawn back.
♡ "Excuse me, but - uhm, you're from Laketown?" A new voice spoke up. You watched as an older, white-haired dwarf stepped forwards with his arms up in surrender whilst he cautiously approached Bard. "If I'm not mistaken?" Bard shifted and pointed his arrow whilst letting him continue talking. "That...barge over there." The older dwarf points to our ship which could be seen, but they had only just noticed in the distance. "It wouldn't be available for hire, by any chance?"
♡ "There's a chance." Bard unnotched his arrow and put it back in his quiver, swinging the bow back around his arm before stepping down the rocks as carefully as he could. "But it's unlikely. We're only here for these barrels."
♡ "We..?" The older dwarf was cut off when Bard waved you over and you helped him to start moving the barrels up the cliff to the ship. "Oh.."
♡ "Do you need help with that, lass?" A different brunet dwarf asked, approaching you and Bard carefully.
♡ You and Bard shared a brief glance, calculating how much sooner you could have dinner with a little help and finally you nodded. "Yes, please. Thank-you."
♡ And that long introduction, chat, is how you first met Nori.
♡ You, like Bard, were very skeptical of the dwarves and only helped them with the promise of pay. Double pay meant you and Bard could easily half it and you wouldn't be totally sacrificing all your pay to your pet cat. Which in turn meant you could buy yourself food!
♡ (Yes, you have a cat and yes he is your first priority. He's the best mouse-catcher in Laketown. He's the sole reason mice have been less of a problem and don't get into the winter food storage sheds anymore.)
♡ Nori thought you were odd to say the least. You wore a fish on your head, had completely different coloured eyes and talked like you were either high, or drunk, 24/7.
♡ You almost didn't have anything more to do with the dwarves after that fateful day, but Nori saw you struggle and stole some food before he went to the mountains and lemme tell you. After nearly 9 hours since your last meal, that little gift of stolen food was like a marriage proposal.
♡ In the Battle against the orcs there was no way you were just going to sit in a building uselessly with a bunch of other women. You grabbed a sword, petted your cat and charged a bunch of orcs, slicing as quickly as you could to deflect and kill them.
♡ During the chaos of everything, you bumped into Nori. Although you had no clue how he and you and ended up fighting near each other, you stood strong and watched each other's backs as orc after orc charged you.
♡ The battle felt never ending and you could've sworn a tinge of pink had lit up the sky and clouds whilst you fought for your survival. The sun was setting and you were still fighting.
♡ Once the battle was one and the injured were healed and Thorin paid people what they were owed, Nori and you sat down together near a dying campfire. You had gotten along since the battle.
♡ He would crack so many jokes it was great! He also liked your jokes. Your favourite thing about his jokes was: they were never about your appearance, or eyes or the fish hat you wore. He would joke about anything!
♡ From teasing his own siblings to laughing at how silly the Elves looked - being all serious. But he showed nothing but adoration for your eyes.
♡ Months passed and Dale was rebuilt. You and Bard had moved into Dale with Bard's children. Nori visited often. You two went fishing, shopping, hiking and scouting together.
♡ Eventually, he started to court you. His antics were amusing. Watching how dwarves court was quite amusing to a human. Nori would steal you items to show his quick fingers, stealth and skills. He'd steal you things he knew you liked.
♡ He squared up against almost any possible rival and even attempted to square up against Bard to win your approval. But Bard denied him and sent him to shop some wood instead.
♡ He didn't need to go the extra mile though. You felt the same for the sneak-thief. He was kind and funny and considerate. What woman wouldn't fall for him? Once you could finally sit him down for a meal, you expressed your feelings for him.
♡ The next day he made a courting braid and asked to braid it into your hair. You gladly accepted and allowed him to gently brush, wash and dry your hair over the next few hours. After the braid was in, you asked if you could do the same.
♡ And so the two of you spent the next few hours together once again, but this time as you brushed, washed and helped re-tie Nori's hair. It was probably the most memorable day you had in a while and you have always cherished the memory ever since.
♡ One day, when you were feeling just a little self-conscious, you asked how Nori felt about you looking different. Being a human surrounded by dwarves more often now...having two different coloured eyes...adults talking about you behind your back despite children adoring your cool fish hat.
♡ It had all just started to get to you and you didn't know how to handle it.
♡ "Darling, you're perfect to me. I don't care if you have blue hair or pink skin. You being human doesn't change how I feel about you...and neither do your eyes." Nori spoke softly.
♡ "Your eyes are like a sunset that meets the ocean. I've fallen in love with those stunning colours of yours." Nori placed his hand against your cheek and rubbed circles with his thumb as you leaned into his touch. Tears were threatening to spill out of your eyes.
♡ "Never change. For anyone. Please...keep being yourself...even if it's just for me. I love you." Nori pulled you into a soft embrace and let you cry out your feelings for as long as you needed. He meant every word he spoke and wanted desperately to show you in some way.
♡ The next day you woke up to a full breakfast-in-bed meal of all your favourite foods and even a nice hot drink for the cold morning. Nori brought you dark blue flowers with orange centers and orange flowers with dark blue ribbows tying them together. He loved your eyes and he really meant it.
♡ He even brought you a hat stand so you wouldn't lose your fish hats. (You had a slight habit of losing them).
♡ He was sweet and thoughtful when he needed to be. <3

Oin: (Platonic): (Grey and Light Green)
♡ When most people fall into a fictional world, usually it's their favourite. Most of the time, they're minding their own business and not working a 14-hour hospital shift.
♡ Unfortunately, you didn't conform to the norms of society very often and just had to fall through a magic portal as you finally finished clocking off for the night day. Because it was 4am when you finished work.
♡ So you can imagine the company's surprise when a mysterious figure falls from a strange portal in the sky. And when they get closer the stranger is fully decked out in weird blue clothing (scrubs), with their somewhat short hair neatly out of their face and very worn-through shoes.
♡ As if the person did hours and hours of walking in the same shoes every day.
♡ Which you did do.
♡ You're very lucky Gandalf is a super kind person to bring you with them to camp for the night and to look after you, because when you hit the ground it didn't matter that the fall hadn't knocked you out from the impact.
♡ The minute you were laying down in soft grass with the warm sun shining down on you, you were out like a light. You could've slept through a hurricane, tornado siren and nuclear explosion.
♡ Nothing the company did to make sure you were alive and okay the next day, woke you. All they could do was leave you to Gandalf's care as he carefully rode onward whilst making sure you didn't fall off. And hope you didn't hit your head.
♡ When you did finally wake up, you were hungry as fuck.
♡ You ate any food Bombur made and had three serves of dinner. The company was respectful, but cautious of you. They didn't really trust you until you helped treat Ori and Bombur's cooking burns with cold, creek water and some of Oin's herbs.
♡ After they realized you were a doctor they had so many questions. You happily answered any of their medical questions about the body, brain, organs and anything else.
♡ One of the questions they had was regarding your two different eye colours. "How did that happen?" "Does it just happen, or does an accident cause it?" "Is that an injury?" "Does it hurt?" "Is it annoying?"
♡ You patiently answered each question. "I was born with this. One of my eyes slowly darkened until it stopped at this light green and my other grew lighter in colour each day until it was fully grey." "It can be caused by injury, or an accident. Specifically if the accident or injury involves the eye. If the eye is damaged it may lose some melanin - the colouring - and thus change to a lighter colour. But that is not the case for my eyes."
♡ "No, it doesn't hurt. It feels the same to me as your eyes feel for you. I can see perfectly clear and it causes no issues. It isn't annoying, I'm already used to it when I look into mirrors or my water's reflection."
♡ The younger dwarves were especially in awe of your eyes. Despite the whole group growing to like you and come to you for medical aide, Oin especially took a liking to you. He was fascinated by such a young person knowing so much about medicine.
♡ He took you under his wing in this world and taught you all about the different herbs, mushrooms, medieval medicines and other treatments or small surgeries they were capable of performing.
♡ You absorbed all the information quite quickly like a sponge which further impressed the older healer.
♡ When Oin was sleeping early at night, or just resting in general, you would take over as the go-to-medic for the dwarves when they got a small injury, felt sick, or need medicine - like for sleeping better.
♡ You would also make them cups of tea, maybe a nice soup if most of the company caught a cold from icy, freezing rivers that they swam through.
♡ Even though the group wasn't sure about you at first, they really came to appreciate you in their times of need. Especially after the battle for Erebor. If it wasn't for your expert medical knowledge and quick fighting and thinking; Fili, Kili and Thorin (respectively) would've died from their terrible wounds.
♡ They had fought recklessly - though that was mostly Thorin's fault for being foolish - but thanks to your knowledge on healing and stitching, the three recovered quickly and in just a couple weeks they were back up on their feet.
♡ You kept a close eye on them; making sure they weren't going to overwork themselves. After the battle and aftermath cleanup was all sorted, Thorin took over the Throne and ruled as King Under the Mountain. He officially made you Oin's assistant and you basically became a 'royal healer'.
♡ Despite the official title, you decided to help anyone who was in need. Especially young children. The children were always fascinated by your eyes. They thought the colours were incredible.
♡ It was so heartwarming when they'd come back just to give you a drawing they did of you. You decided to set up a picture wall to hang all the lovely drawings. Anytime you felt scared, or were sick, you'd look up at the wall and remember how sweet and brave those kids were.
♡ Oin made sure you never overworked, got proper sleep and meals and he also taught you dwarven sign language so you could treat deaf and hard of hearing patients like Oin, or Bifur.
~~~
Bombur: (Romantic): (Dark Brown with Yellow around one eyes' center)
♡ You were a great cook and fighter. When the spiders of Mirkwood became a massive problem, you were put onto a patrol team that did two rounds around the borders of the forest each day.
♡ After that, you worked hard to make lunch and dinner with the other chefs and cooks. Great feasts for celebrations and small feasts to sing songs around fires with.
♡ So one day when you were preparing a great feast for another fun celebration, a border patrol lead by the Prince of Mirkwood arrived with a large group of dwarves who had been found wandering aimlessly off the path.
♡ You didn't think much of it until they escaped and caused great havoc with their unorthodox exit out of Mirkwood: riding in empty wine barrels out of the backdoor from palace, exiting through the back gate.
♡ Orcs then attacked the dwarves and elves whilst the elves attempted to keep the dwarves from escaping further and the orcs from causing more damage. You watched all this from a distance, killing off the few orcs that attempted to get inside the building.
♡ You couldn't keep track of how much time passed after that, but soon an army of elves were called to arms by the King. Everyone gathered in their armour, grabbing their weapons and standing out the door waiting for further instructions.
♡ You had joined the army, ready to fight against the dwarves that had recently reconquered Erebor. It was for the simple matter of helping the Laketown people who had called for aide since the dragon attack burned down their town.
♡ There were carts of supplies you would all bring to the people who were currently taking refuge in Dale.
♡ The walk to Dale with all the supplies took quite a little while, but when you arrived and saw all the wounded, sick and how desperate everyone was for food - the trip was worth it. Once the King talked with the head of the group and figured out what had happened, he then handed out the supplies.
♡ All the elves got to work: helping the injured and sick with their knowledge of medicine, handing out food, blankets, water and more. You got to work cooking up a massive pot of soup with vegetables and some meat for everyone to have a serving of, as was requested of you.
♡ That was the main reason you were there helping. Your aide in battle was secondary, helping the people was your primary mission.
♡ When the battle began, you did your best to fight off the orc invasion in Dale. There was no reason for you to be fighting up front at the front gate of Erebor when there was a serious battle just at your own feet.
♡ Defending children and the elderly during all the chaos was the most difficult part of the battle. You had to make sure that, whilst they fought and laid finishing blows, they were not hit unaware by orcish archers.
♡ Once the battle was won and the war was over, it was time to help with the aftermath. Burying the dead, tending to the injured, cooking up pots of soup, or stew, for everyone and handing out bread, water and other necessary materials or foods for people to sustain themselves.
♡ The dwarves were allies at this point and did their best to right their wrongs. There was an especially friendly dwarf who came up beside you one evening with more vegetables and meat - exactly what you requested from the dwarves for the next meal - and he even helped you cook it all up.
♡ He knew some herbs that you had never seen before and you taught him some elvish cooking that made food taste more tender and juicy - it was wine, but don't tell the kids.
♡ Over time you got to know your new fellow chef, 'Bombur'. You two spent the next couple weeks cooking food for the hungry masses until everyone had food supplies and shelter to stay at in Dale. Repairs to houses took a while, but once most of the major houses were done for food storage and temporary shelter, you were relieved of duty.
♡ Despite that, whilst the King finished up his business with the dwarven king, Thorin, you continued to hang out with Bombur. Sitting around campfires, cooking smaller meals together, trading jokes, stories, adventures and tales. You grew quite fond of the dwarf.
♡ When it came time for you to return to the palace with the King Thranduil, you promised to write to Bombur and he promised the same.
♡ And you both kept your words.
♡ You sent letters back and forth for many months and occasionally visited the dwarf for special celebrations where he asked for your aide in cooking - an excuse to spend an evening with you.
♡ Many years later, after five full years of courting each other, you both got married and lived together in Erebor. The King Thranduil did not mind your choice in love and wished you luck on your journey.
♡ The King Thorin accepted you fully as another good chef in the kingdom and made sure a feast was prepared for your wedding so you and Bombur could relax and simply enjoy the day together.
♡ Another couple years passed. You were all sitting at a table enjoying a couple beers when Bofur spoke up, teasing Bombur. "Still can't believe you managed to find and romance such a beautiful lady, Bombur. I mean, her unique eye colours," He gestured to your central heterochromia, "...her stunning hair, glowing skin, incredible cooking, gosh Bombur, you're so lucky. I hope I find a pretty wife soon too.." He sighed, taking another swig of his fifth beer.
♡ The alcohol must've been hitting him, so you merely comforted the tired dwarf. "I'm sure there's someone out there waiting for you too, Bofur." You chuckled. "Right, Bombur?"
♡ Bombur was staring at you intensely when you turned to him.
♡ "Bombur?" You tried again, waving a hand in front of his face. "Erebor to Bombur, attention Bombur." You teased. He leaned in closer and you were expecting a kiss, but he hesitated and maintained strict eye-contact.
♡ "Your eyes are slightly different colours!!" He announced excitedly. There was a moment of surprise and silence until the whole table was roaring with laughter.
♡ "You only just now noticed?? We've been married two years!! Courted for five years!! Knew each other for many years before that, how did you not see this?" You gasped.
♡ "I never really took a good look at that...I assumed it was the same in both eyes...I thought it was candlelight most days." He admitted quietly. His whole face was red at this point, so you pinched his cheeks and gave him a quick kiss.
♡ "Darling, I love you! But for Mahal's sake, dear..."
♡ "I know...I'm sorry, love." He shyly offered you his food as an apology and sign of love.
♡ How he didn't notice for all those years remained a damn mystery in your mind. But that was okay, because he was a bit silly, but very sweet.
~~~
Gloin: (Platonic): (Orange and Black)
♡ When you were just a young dwarf, you got separated from your family and lost in a busy marketplace.
♡ Your parents went to look at jewelry whilst you looked at some well made toys and trinkets for children. By the time you were finished looking around...it was too late. You had completely forgotten where they said they were going to be.
♡ You started running around, ducking under people's bags and trays, darting between people and dodging their legs and arms.
♡ Whether it was by fate, luck or chance, when you started to give up your search; sitting down on a stone bench crying, Gloin walked past and noticed your small presence.
♡ He set his groceries down and sat beside you. "What's the matter, lad?" He asked softly, rubbing your back as you desperately tried to sob out coherent words.
♡ But Gloin had a child already and didn't have to spend too long decoding your gibberish to understand you lost your parents and were all alone in distress.
♡ "Aw, that's alright, laddie. Come along, I'll help you find your parents. Hold my hand so you don't get lost and let's go have a look, okay? I'm sure they're looking for you too." He gave you a soft smile and led you back into the centre of the bustling marketplace.
♡ He was correct - your parents had been worried sick looking for you. You apologized and hugged them. They were so relieved and grateful they invited Gloin, his wife and child all to dinner that evening and Gloin happily accepted.
♡ They shared their home address with him and let you two say goodbye before they headed home. You had such a big day, you needed a bath and snack before dinner.
♡ After that fateful day, Gloin and his family had remained good friends with your family and you would play with Gimli quite often. Hide and Seek, I Spy, Tag, you name it - y'all played it.
♡ Gloin would join in too with your own father! It was so much fun running around and squealing when they jumped out from the shadows with a "Boo!"
♡ Gloin was basically an Uncle figure to you. Constant visits, birthday celebrations and presents, babysitting you and Gimli when your parents went on a date night.
♡ And the same with your parents babysitting Gimli so Gloin could treat his love to a nice date night!
♡ When you became a teenager and started an apprenticeship in smithing, you slowly became self-conscious of your eye colours. This was an unusual feeling. Doubt? But also guilt perhaps?
♡ Like a spiraling feeling in your stomach...like your eye colours made you different. Made you stand out...and you felt guilty for it.
♡ You couldn't figure out what was wrong. What went wrong. Spending so many years feeling accepted by Gloin, your family, his family - especially Gimli. None of them even mentioned your heterochromia.
♡ They didn't point it out as if it was a major characteristic of yours, a defining feature, or trait. They always pointed out your creativity, your energetic and bubbly personality.
♡ But since starting the apprenticeship and working alongside other apprentices - they started pointing out how strange, or "different" or "weird" your eyes looked.
♡ These thoughts and confusing feelings kept you up at night. But you didn't dare mention it to anyone. This was a new and strange feeling that you still couldn't put into words.
♡ It felt a little silly that you felt guilty for something you were naturally born with. You couldn't explain how strange that feeling was.
♡ There must've been a noticeable change in your demeanor, however, as everyone started being extra doting and sweeter to you at home.
♡ This went on for months until one day you were sitting outside with Gloin and he asked how you had been feeling recently. "Since starting the apprenticeship." And that's when you broke down into tears.
♡ That small, slightly concerned, question was the final blow to your constant turmoil.
♡ "Aw, lad. I thought you looked a little down recently. Come here, it's okay...shhh...it's all going to be alright, laddie." Gloin hushed, rubbing circles on your back whilst hugging you.
♡ Once you had let out all your pent up emotions, you felt like you could explain how you felt to him. You told him how the other apprentices' comments had been making you feel.
♡ How you felt guilty, doubtful, unconfident, different...the list went on. Gloin didn't interrupt you the entire time you spoke. He simply listened and occasionally nodded. Until you had let all your thoughts out.
♡ You felt embarrassed for breaking down so fast, but Gloin spoke up. "I'm sorry you've been feeling like this for so long, lad." He sighed. "Maybe your eyes are different colours. And maybe you stand out a bit because of that...but that doesn't outshine the rest of you."
♡ "Y'know, everyone starts to feel like that when life gets strange, or difficult. And that's okay. What you've got to remember is the talents you possess. Your skill at crafting things, is who you truly are. The person you want to be - aspire to be! That's who you are. Your appearance will change with time. You might start to go blind...your hair will turn white, but what truly matters is what you do until then."
♡ "If you take their unthoughtful comments to heart, you might miss what's right in front of you by dwelling on how 'different' you feel. Focus on the present, laddie. Focus on this apprenticeship and show those apprentices what true skill and talent looks like! And when you show 'em up and prove their comments useless...well, I hope to be there...standing behind you - watching you shine."
♡ Gloin gave you a big bear hug and ruffled your hair a bit. "Alright, kid." He stood up with a grin. "All these feelings are exhausting and you must be hungry by now. After all, you're still growing." He chuckled and helped you to your feet.
♡ "Let's go get some dinner." The talk you had with him had really helped. You took his advice and ignored what other's said, unless it was advice or about your creations. You were passionate about your creations.
♡ You learned to make lots of different things. From swords and maces, to necklaces and rings. Eventually, you aced the apprenticeship and continued to work at the forge shop - selling your creations and accepting new challenges everyday.
♡ And if you ever had another bad day like that again...Gloin was right there for you - making sure you got back up to your feet and never gave up your passions and dreams.
♡ You were forever glad to Mahal for such an amazing friend.
~~~ The End ~~~

Hey i was wondering if you could please write a fluff Wrecker x reader where he is being a big baby as Tech is trying to patch up one of his wounds and reader is trying everything to keep him calm and not freaked out
Good Medicine (Wrecker x Reader)
Tumblr media
A/N: Absolutely. I'll never be mad about getting to write this precious man child. Wrecker is dangerously close to becoming my second favorite Bad Batcher, after Tech of course. (Sorry for the insane delay responding to this. There were many physical and mental health challenges for me in 2022.)
Description: Wrecker x Fem!Reader (also Tech is present as comic relief lol)
Rating: General audiences, hurt+comfort fluff
Warnings: A Star Wars swear, mentions of blood and stiches
Setting: Up to you (literally, because I only wrote three characters, you decide were the rest of the babes are)
Word count: 1,024
Gif credit: user kamino-coruscant
Even from across the ship, you can see the anger on Hunter's face as he leans against the wall, gritting his teeth. If Wrecker screamed one more time, you worried that the sergeant was going make good on his jokes about the airlock and put his languishing brother out of his misery.
Tech continues his beleaguered attempts at bargaining for stitches, gauze and bacta in hand, "If you do not stop moving about, I will never get this wound dressed."
"It hurts!" Wrecker wails, pulling away further.
"Considering the size of the shrapnel I removed and the damage you sustained, I would be concerned if it didn't," Tech scoffs.
"It hurt less before you took it out," Wrecker argues, temper flaring, "I don't want stitches. I'll be fine!"
You bounce your leg, watching the chaos escalate from the co-pilots seat. Moments before, you'd helped remove Wrecker's gnarled leg armor, and the sight of blood soaking through his blacks was still fresh in your thoughts. You weren't sure why it was bothering you. Wrecker had experienced his fair share of battle damage. One look at him and anyone would know he was not an average man, let alone a typical clone. You were pretty sure he even enjoyed receiving some his scars if for no other reason than to be able to brag about surviving something others couldn't. However, this wasn't just a cauterized burn from a stray blaster bolt. This was a bloody, messy injury to someone you'd truly come to care for. That made it different.
You push the awful image from your mind as Hunter approaches.
"Y/N, maybe you could talk to him. He's calmer when you're around," he sighs, slumping into the seat beside you, "Quieter, anyway."
"Are you sure? I don't want to get in Tech's way," you start to object.
Tech wastes no time in interjecting, "I assure you, Y/N, any assistance you can provide will not hinder in my work whatsoever."
"Please," Hunter agrees, pinching the bridge of his nose, "He shrieks like a kriffin' gundark."
"I heard that!" Wrecker calls out before turning his attention back to Tech, "Don't you come anywhere near me with a needle. I don't like needles!"
Tech mutters something about preventing infection as Wrecker leans as far away as his injured leg will allow. You can't help but smile a little over the fuss he was making. It may be giving your squadmates a headache, but in a strange way, it was comforting for you to hear Wrecker carry on. It meant he was going to be alright. And with that relief came an idea.
You sprint back to Wrecker's bunk, and return seconds later with your arms behind your back.
"Oh Wrecker, I've got something for you," you say, very obviously hiding something.
His focus is on you instantly, "What? What have you got?"
"Something to make you feel better," you chuckle at his excitement. You stretch your arms out and reveal the tooka doll.
"My Lula!" he exclaims as you place the beloved plush in his hands, "She does make me feel better!"
Tech gives you a subtle nod. Your distraction is working.
You kneel next to Wrecker's seat, trying not to look at the saturated crimson bandages in the tray beside you. "You know Tech has to stitch your leg up now, right?"
"Yeah, I know," Wrecker groaned, accepting his fate, "I just hate stitches."
"Yeah, I do too. If it will help, you can hold my hand until it's over," you offer, smiling.
He looks up with wide eyes, "Really?"
"Do you wish you have your hand broken?" Tech questions, pushing up his goggles.
You give a him an unamused glance, then turn back to Wrecker, "Of course you can."
He grins as you place your hand into his much larger open palm.
"Alright, 'Doc'," he says with a renewed confidence, "Do your worst."
As Tech begins the procedure, your gaze drifts towards the patient. It occurs to you that you've never been this close to Wrecker before. You also realize have taken his size and strength for granted as you see that his massive fingers envelop your entire hand. Yet despite his great size and power, he is incredibly gentle. He flinches and tenses up as part of his leg is quite literally pulled back together, but he doesn't squeeze your hand or cause you pain. The man you'd seen rip apart droids with his bare hands was now cradling yours. In fact, the shouting had stopped altogether. Hunter was right: Wrecker was calm around you. Lula in his lap couldn't have hurt, either.
"Finished," Tech announces.
"That's it?" Wrecker asks, genuinely surprised. "Huh. Thought it'd hurt more than that."
"See? You did great! I knew you would," you applaud.
Tech rolls his eyes, gathering up the refuse and closing the med kit. "Next time, we shall begin with hand clasping."
The fatigued clone goes to join Hunter in the cockpit, leaving you and Wrecker alone for a moment.
He hasn't let go of your hand yet, and your heart skips as he meets your gaze. "Thanks for being here with me, Y/N. It means a lot, you know?"
"You're welcome, Wrecker. I'm just glad you're alright," you reply, worry slipping through in your voice, "I hate that you're hurting."
"Aw, it'll take a lot more than a little piece of metal to keep me down," he assures, his tone softer than ever, "Besides, I can't feel a thing now."
He gives your hand a small squeeze. You feel heat rushing in your face as you desperately hold back a grin.
"Well, just in case," you begin, getting back on your feet. You lean over and kiss his cheek, "To keep the pain away."
Mouth agape, his face turns red. You stifle a giggle, and his shock quickly turns to triumph as he gives you smirk.
"Now that you mention it, I think the bacta might be wearing off..." he teases.
You chuckle and lightly punch his shoulder. "Rest up, solider."
He laughs, leaning back in his seat with his arms behind his head. "Yes, ma'am."

The disappointment in Suzuka does not come from Suzuka, but the FIA as usual
Well, I must be honest. I have no happy gifs today. I haven't watched the race yet, it started barely an hour before I had to be at work and I've followed everything going on until it was done this morning. But I'm going to start watching now.
I'm gonna skip most of the 2 hours that the race was suspended, for obvious reasons. But I have like a couple of positives today and that's it. I'm very, very pissed as 99,99% of my fellow fans are, regardless of the driver or team each of us are supporting.
Firstly, I'm gonna start with the shitty tyres provided by Pirelli. Are you fucking kidding me? You're a manufacturer of tyres for the biggest motor sport and you're completely unable of creating a compound fit to drive, that adapts to conditions in between the Extreme Wet and Intermediate tyres? It's simply unacceptable for such a big company.
Secondly, the risk was right there. Maybe the race should've been suspended for a while in order to see if, given a little time, the track conditions would improve and avoid potential problems during the race.
That water spray... Yes it was all fun and games on Friday with all that water with cars alone on track, but this is the real shit. This is not a joke. Carlos' shunt was truly scary. That crash was BAD. Half his car was still on the track and with that little visibility, was very likely to get hit by one or more drivers right on the spot. He was lucky today, as he said to the press.
Albon and Seb were luckier, they both went off track and at least Albon missed the barriers, but Seb was hit by Alonso. Race incidents that can happen in given situations, they were fine, thankfully, and there was that. Pierre on the other hand had a big as fuck piece of a barrier or something stuck on his car's front wing and had to stop to get it out.
I've just seen the moment the race was Red Flagged, but now I have to see the reruns were it was shown what happened with the crane. I've just seen the crane on the rerun of that moment and if they can see as little as you can on those images, I can't even begin to imagine how scary that must've been for all of them. Especially those who were friends with Jules. What a fucking insult.
This was supposed to be over after 2014. This was supposed to never happen again. And in Suzuka of all places, is the FIA delusional? And they suppressed all information to the media and everyone around the track. Why would that be? Well, maybe that's because they're a bunch of fucking morons and they knew they fucked up even before the images of Pierre’s rant went viral everywhere.
You can also see that Lewis goes by Carlos' car with barely a couple of centimeters in between. He could've easily crashed against Carlos. And like Lewis, any of them in that situation.
Just about the time Pierre got that barrier piece stuck on his front wing you could see the GREEN FLAG flashing. GREEN. A little ways down the road, with barely enough time to react, came the RED flag, right around the moment he goes by that crane. ARE THESE PEOPLE FUCKING INSANE PUTTING THE BLAME ON PIERRE!?
Regardless of him going faster than he was supposed to, which was wrong of him in any case, putting the blame on a driver to deflect attention from a fuck up of the FIA of all "people" is DESPICABLE. Jules' death meant that regulations had to change, which were in fact changed, so that his death wasn't meaningless, so that that would never ever happen again to anyone else. I'm actually crying while writing this.
I didn't watch "live" Jules' crash back in 2014, that was precisely the 1st year that I didn't watch the F1 season, but I've seen the footage and many, many related content over the years, but it's painful to me nevertheless.
To think about a young guy with a brilliant future ahead of him losing his life in a split second (I know he passed months after the crash, but he practically lost the battle in that same moment). To think about the people he cared about, his family, his friends, Daniel, Pierre, Charles' brother Lorenzo (his best friend), Charles himself who looked up to him endlessly. To even think about what could've been if he were alive today, maybe even being Charles' teammate in Ferrari, or at least battling between the two while on different teams. To think about, after all his loved ones and the suffering they must've gone through, the talent all of us lost in this beautiful sport that this governing body keeps on trying to destroy.
Maybe it's just me but I believe that it's more than obvious that a crane SHOULD NOT be on track while cars are still rolling, even after a SC or not. Am I crazy? It scream danger however fast these cars are going, I don't care if it's 100kmh or 300kmh, it's dangerous all the same and someone could've died. SOMEONE COULD'VE FUCKING DIED. Pierre said so very clearly, Carlos said it, Lando said it. It might be the one thing all of them and all of us agree on 100%.
Even the Spanish commentators are saying, as unreasonable as they often are over other things, that Pierre did nothing wrong, that he had no way of reacting with enough time from the moment he got the Red Flag signal to the moment he went by the tractor. And they're absolutely right. They even said that they weren't allowed to show the images of that moment before they did, and that's the FIA's manipulation. For fuck's sake.
This sport needs a governing body that's above the FIA in order to control and monitor them. They shouldn't be allowed or trusted with decisions of any kind, especially big decisions based on evidence of any kind. If you don't think this should happen, I invite you to review first of all the Rulebook of F1, secondly the Abu Dhabi race of 2021 and thirdly, Jules' accident back in 2014, what happened with that SC procedure and the car recovery crane he crashed into and then today's race. Plus, we then have the pending decision about the Cost Cap infringements in 2021 and 2022, which in Red Bull's case will obviously go unpunished, even when going over the Cost Cap has secured them races they shouldn't have won and thus, two championships now (without going into further detailed on other FIA manipulations that we all know all too well by now).
Commentator (and former F1 engineer) Toni Cuquerella was saying that yes the FIA were trying to give information they never provide to throw Pierre under the bus basically and avoid going into why THEY released a tractor while cars were still on track. Not with these words but the meaning is right there.
In the mean time, Jules' father was posting that Jules hasn't been respected throughout all of this ordeal today. In the 8th anniversary of his crash, so pretty fucked up. And sadly he's very right.
After I don't know how long it was, the countdown began, even before the race was restarted. 50 minutes to go now give or take and the race is restarted.
Max and Charles entering at the very same time. We love to see Danny Ric P2 and Mick P3, and now Mick P1. It was short and sweet. And even Seb making the fastest lap, ah sweet dreams. Haas unfortunately was way too hopeful about the SC, pity.
Poor Mick couldn't hold all these guys and he made a mistake before going into the pit. My baby, such a good job, he deserved more.
Charles having all kinds of trouble, the Ferrari's not going well this weekend. Now we have a battle between Lewis and Estie Bestie, which is fantastic to see. So respectful, so clean, so good. This is the good stuff.
The battle between Charles and Checo well, I can't add anything new so, yeah fine, Charles got a penalty and he said it was fair. Meh. I believe it was but damn.
Sebastian passing Alonso was absolutely outstanding. That is magic right there.
In no mood to add any pictures or any color to this today, honestly. I'll be back in a couple weeks for the US GP. That weekend I'm going to Barcelona with Marina to see out football teams live at the Camp Nou Stadium and we'll watch the race together. I'll be back in my city a couple days prior since I'm finishing the season in Formentera this next Sunday.
I might post something in the mean time until then or make a few updates to my blog and intro post. We'll see.
For now, peace out!

How do you think the characters in lps would respond to I love you?
Ohohoho, depends on the context of course but I will try my best to answer with how I see it.
Zoe: ok, so the thing is, she's kinda desensitized to those words. She herself said them so many times to people she didn't actually love or only though she loved when it reality she was just attracted to their looks. So hearing it casually she will assume it's a fan of hers who yes, loves her, but for her external image. She will be just like: "Of course you do!" or "Thanks, sweetie." but it doesn't actually work much on her anymore, though it used to flatter her to no end. Now, the reaction is different if she believes it is genuine, from someone who actually knows her and spent time with her when she wasn't "at her best". She will smile and her facial expression will go soft. While her response still might be something akin to boasting, it's her way of relieving tension. You'll know she's genuinely grateful and believes you if she doesn't just brush it off 1 second after hearing it and her reaction lingers, additionaly she will often give some touch like a hug or a pat on the head.
Penny: she loves saying I love you and contrary to Zoe usually truly means it. But because she's the one saying that phrase the most, often she's not ready to react to those words being aimed at her. She will blush and hide her face for a while, trying to process it. But after that while she will be practically shining with happiness. Call her Minka, because if she believes you, she will get this untamable rush of energy and good mood. In short: she's a bit jumpy, blushy, will give you a delighted giggle and there's 100% chance she will squeeze you. Might tear up.
Pepper: she doesn't like showing that it affects her in any way but it sure does. Her first response might be something like: "Yeah, I know, my jokes are just this good! Glad you noticed." but she needs to excuse herself quickly to run to an empty place and do that "AAAAH!" thing in her mind. She really does appreciate it more than anyone knows and will have to stop herself from smiling goofily for the rest of the day. If she can't quickly retreat to that empty place and do something with that warm feeling she will inevitably smile awkwardly and let out equally awkward giggles. Yeah, she's just awkward.
Russell: his instinctive response is to be casual about it, reply with "Okay, thanks." if you want him to properly process that "Yes, I do genuinely love you", you need to ensure that he knows you mean it. He's somewhat used to hearing it because he's helpful and smart, so if he helps someone with, let's say homework, it's not that rare for them to say "Thank you, Russell, I would have never finished it without you, I love you." and it's flattering, it really is, but he assumes that they only said it because of relief that someone felt from being able to finish that homework or whatever he helped with, not because they really feel that to him. So once you ensure that, he will turn his head and do this delighted laugh and swat his hand at you and protest "You don't really mean that" or "You're just buttering me up" but it's clear to see that he's delighted about it but also like "Wait, you do? Like, you really really do? Huh? Me?".
Vinnie: he's not used to hearing that, like, at all. He's very ready to reply with "What? Literally why?" but will stop himself to maintain his chill image and will just *finger guns* because he doesn't know how else to maintain that image without doing something that doesn't align with that. So he acts like it doesn't affect him in a good or bad way but the truth is, he doesn't believe you. Like, you love him? HIM? The tripping over his legs every two steps, stupid, can't really dance him? "Okay, cool." Will try to ensure you believe he "already knows that" but in reality it couldn't be further from the truth.
Alternative response:
Someone: I love you
Vinnie: K, I love Sunil.
Because there's no bigger happiness in life than making the seemingly happy and/or chill characters, the ones that act confident and optmistic all the time being big sad. I can fix him. But even better, I can destroy him. Speaking of such characters...
Minka: oh Minka. She will have a very enthusiastic response: jump up and down, make some high-pitched noises, clap her hands and will often respond with "Aww, I love you too! Thanks!" And well, it's not necessarily that she doesn't actually believe that. It's more that she's scared that she got that "I love you" only because of that optimistic, hyper behavior she has. Because that keeps everyone's mood up and their belief that no matter what, she will be ok. In other words: she's unsure if she would get that "I love you" if she were to be drop that behavior for even a day.
Sunil: *laughs nervously*. If he's in a good mood he'll give you the greatest and widest smile you've ever seen, blush more than Penny Ling herself and he'll probably fidget with his tail/hands(if we're talking about some Sunil without a tail). He can be a bit sassy sometimes, especially if he's feeling confident in the moment. But of course there are also moments when he's not at all. And in those moments he will be very unure and ask you multiple times "Are you sure? Are you really sure? Yeah?" Tell him all the things you love about him or moments when he succeeded and he's golden.
The depression scale is high tonight! But if I had to put them on that meme thingy...:
Tumblr media
(This should be only taken as a meme, not my actual opinion, I just had some fun here)

։ຼ⚘ Taeil
~ Key words: healing hugs, comfort, easy love
Taeil is the type of boyfriend that you feel like you know for a much longer time than you actually do, just because everything feels so natural and comfortable with him. To him, relationships are meant to be easy, fun, light, safe, unproblematic, so he works with you to achieve this scenario. He feels like home and he makes loving and being loved look simple. He loves the intimacy of domestic dates, they give him the sense of bonding and growing closer. Cooking, watching movies, just lazing around, sharing secrets and also laughs while wrapped around a cozy blanket are some of his favorite things to do with you. But he also loves being adventurous, going wild once in a while, looking for interesting things to do with you deep at night. He is the type of boyfriend that shyly approaches you to give you a tight hug he was craving the whole day; that sings for you whenever you ask him to do so; that does silly things just to see you laughing; that passionately researches how to cook something just because you mentioned you wanted to eat it; that gives you his hoodies because he thinks you're the cutest with them; that hypes you up like no one else does.
։ຼ⚘ Johnny
~ Key words: joyful smiles, romance, mature love
Do you know that perfect image of a boyfriend we build in our heads and fantasize about? That's Johnny. He might look all cool and detached, but he is the warmest and most caring person you could ever meet. When he gets into a relationship, he takes it very seriously. He does his best to be the best version of himself. He is patient, easy going, mature, and loves to have long conversations with you when you go to your weekly coffee date. He is the type of boyfriend that surprises you with romantic acts out of blue and acts like he did nothing; that carries you to bed when you're too tired; that remembers little and big things about you; that picks you up wherever you are and gets out of the car just to open the door for you; that rushes to buy you medicine when you're sick and that falls asleep beside your bed. He also has his mischivious side, which makes your dynamics even more interesting. He is the boyfriend that carries you on his shoulders at a concert; that hides behind a door to jump and scare you; that tickles you until you can't laugh anymore. He is the type of boyfriend that treats you like royalty and also like his best friend.
։ຼ⚘ Taeyong
~ Key words: day dreaming gazes, companionship, reassuring love
Taeyong as a boyfriend feels like a partner for life. You can't help but catching yourself imagining a whole married life with him, but little you know he is doing the exact same thing. He is the type of boyfriend that genuinely does his best to get involved in your life and to be part of it. He asks you about your day, about your dreams, about your plans, and listens to you attentively. Communicating with him is not a problem. Actually, he is usually the first one to send you a message, or to give you a call. Also, the amount of support you receive from him is enourmous, since he admires and believes in you unconditionaly. It's natural for him to say "we" instead of "I", because he considers you in every step he takes. He is the type of boyfriend that crafts little things for you; that makes you that cute lunch boxes with even cuter post-its on them; that has a notebook filled with lyrics he wrote about you; that smiles fondly everytime he hears your name; that don't fail one day on sending you a gooodnight message; that pulls you to dance in the middle of the kitchen.
։ຼ⚘ Yuta
~ Key words: undivided attention, loyalty, intense love
Yuta is someone who won't ever leave room for doubts or insecurities regarding the love he feels for you, regarding your relationship. He can't get tired of telling and showing you how important you are to him. He gives you a lot of attention and takes good care of you. It's impossible for him to be indifferent when you're around, he is too into you, he has eyes just for you. He expresses his emotions clearly and makes his moods obvious, so the relationship is super transparent. The excitement of the relationship seems to never cease. He is naturally original and interesting, and he doesn't even need to try hard to get you hooked. Yuta's love is intoxicating, inebriating. He is the type of boyfriend that does your nails, your hair and your make up, but says that you look amazing without all of it; that gives you his jacket and also embraces you to make sure you're not cold, even though he is freezing; that turns off his phone when you're spending time together; that jokingly (or not) acts protective towards you; that doodles hearts on your arm; that winks at you from afar.
։ຼ⚘ Doyoung
~ Key words: meaningful acts, care, one and only love
Doyoung's hobby is taking care of you. And yes, it's his hobby, because he doesn't see it as an obligation or a duty. He truly likes pampering you and making your life easier. He openly admits that you are his weakness, his soft spot, the only one who can make him lose his senses and not think straight. He either is all lovey-dovey or the nagging type of lover around you. He is invested, respectful, nurturing, solid, stable, constant, and won't let anyone talk bad about you. He is the type of boyfriend that keeps little things related to you, like notes you left him or a cute sticker you glued on his arm while joking around; that gives you the last piece of french fries he got; that drops everything and travels miles and miles to meet you because you said you were lonely; that unconciously does little things for you, like putting tooth paste onto your tooth brush and handing it to you; that always carries two umbrelas because he knows you often forget yours at home; that keep staring at you in awe, but denies it strongly when you catch him doing so.
։ຼ⚘ Jaehyun
~ Key words: intertwined fingers, sincerity, movie like love
Jaehyun is the type of boyfriend full of surprises. He makes you wonder what is going through his head, because it's quite difficult to read him. But he knows what he feels. As you get to know him better, you learn that he is the sweetest bean. For example, you get to know that when he looks distant or distracted around you, he is actually trying his best to hide from you some random cute romantic surprise he prepared. Even though he is not that good at expressing his emotions, he tries to put his love into words from time to time, and you just can feel it through the tender looks he gives you. He is chill and down to earth with most of things, but he daydreams a lot about you. He is also an interesting person with interesting thoughts, and sometimes you feel like your in a romantic comedy movie. He is the type of boyfriend that says "you're amazing" out of nowhere; that back hugs you whenever he sees the opportunity to do so; that gives you the best massages ever; that wants to hear stories from your childhood; that looks forward to your reaction when he tells you a joke or a story; that brags about you to his friends; that secretly takes personality tests and looks into astrology to see how compatible you two are: if he gets a positive answer, he goes "I knew it!", and if he gets a negative answer, he goes "I don't believe this anyways".
։ຼ⚘ Winwin
~ Key words: soft caresses, growing together, special love
Once Winwin falls in love, he wishes it's forever. He is always amazed by you and by how you changed his whole world and his whole vision of people, of the world, and of himself. He has a huge sense of honor and commitment towards you, so he does his best to be a good boyfriend. He does that quietly though, with little meaningful acts and shy words. He is usually pretty calm and composed, but sometimes he becomes a cute soft mess around you. When this happens, his reactions ranges from "malfunctioning and not knowing what to do at all" to "showing off his skills so you'll be impressed". He is the type of boyfriend that goes shopping to buy something for himself and ends up with twenty items for you ; that steals a kiss on your cheek while you're asleep; that says he is going to read your palm just to have an excuse to hold your hands; that, after twenty minutes watching a movie with you, side by side, murmurs "come here" and extends his arm so you can hug and cuddle him, all of that while avoiding eye contact (but at the end he is all smiley)
։ຼ⚘ Jungwoo
~ Key words: endless cuddles, connection, colorful love
Jungwoo is the type of boyfriend who just feels right. You look at him and wonder how you could end up with someone that matches your vibes so well. He accepts you and loves you exactly the way you are, for the way you are. He is not only sweeter than candy, he is also the funniest, the cutest, the most supportive, the most lovely, the most unique and interesting boyfriend ever. He feels intensily what you're feeling, so he can understand you well. He cries when you cry, he laughs when you laugh, he is by your side because he wants to be. He is the type of boyfriend that stays awake with you all night long when you need to finish an assignment so he can help you and so you won't feel lonely; that creates a whole new special sign language to communicate with you ; that fights for food with you just to give you everything at the end; that goes live on instagram just to scream "y/n, I love you" and then disconnects; that can't stop talking about you to everyone; that uses your picture as his cellphone background.
։ຼ⚘ Mark
~ Key words: sweet kisses, happiness, pure love
Mark is someone who wants to give you the whole world, and he works hard to do so. He is very intuitive and can tell what you're thinking with just one look. Being with him feels easy, recharging, and you see sincerity in all of his acts and words. There's no drama, no second intentions, he just genuinely wants to see you happy. He is the type of boyfriend that prays for you every night before sleeping; that may be clueless about a lot of things, but notices when you have the slightest change in your appearance; that takes melted candies out of his pockets and says they are a gift to you with the brightest and most innocent smile on his face; that creates raps about your awesomeness at random times; that gets too tired of giggling while cuddling you and then sleeps in your arms; that get inspired by some cheesy movie to do cheesy things with you but gets all shy about it afterwards, which makes everything even more adorable; that helps you drying your hair and gives you little pecks while the towel covers your eyes.
։ຼ⚘ Haechan
~ Key words: heart fluttering words, sharing, playful love
Haechan is someone who makes you feel special. He knows every single detail about you, and it seems that he understands you more than you do yourself, because he always knows what to say to make you feel better. He is affectionate, flirty, enjoys to make you blush, but often he is the one who blushes like crazy. He values the deep bond you share, and is proud of himself to have you by his side. He is the type of boyfriend that diligently prepares a midnight snack for you and draws a big heart with ketchup on your plate; that asks you what you are going to wear on your date with him, so he can wear something similar; that has a bracelet with your initial on it; that does skincare with you; that calls you at raining nights and stays with you on the phone for hours to distract you from the thunders you hate so much; that runs to you when he sees you; that plays rock paper scissors with you to decide who will get you two food, but actually it doesn't matter who wins, he will do everything for you at the end.

5e Samira, the Desert Rose build (League of Legends)
Tumblr media
(Artwork by Jessica 'OwleyCat' Oyhenart. Made for Riot Games.)
Tumblr media
undefined
youtube
Still fucking hate this champ but her theme still slaps.
The eternal joke of me putting off making a build for Samira is finally over, though ironically enough my distain for this champ has only grown overtime. Jesus fucking Christ Rito can you nerf this champ’s goddamn damage? Like nerfing her lifesteal is nice and all but it doesn’t mean shit when my dumbfuck teammates picked 4 assassins into her and I’m the only one who can CC her as a Lulu.
Ah well: Samira still definitely fills a fantasy everyone wants, being a badass with sword and gun styling on the competition. Devil May Cry? Yeah I suppose Samira would be pretty good in a campaign against Fiends.
GOALS
You want style? You've found her - Smile, Sweet, Sister, Sadistic; we’ll need to Surprise the Service with Style to Spare. Sssssssssssssssssamira.
Eyes up! - We’ll need to be everywhere at once, dashing and dancing around the battlefield so no one can lock us down.
Showtime! - When push comes to shove it’s time to speeeeeeeeeen~
RACE
Samira is human no matter what the meta might dictate, and for once in my life I actually want something particular from Variant Human. But firstly: you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1: increase both Dexterity and Wisdom for sharp sight and sharper shots. You also get a skill of your choice and a language of your pleasing. For your skill take Slight of Hand for flips and other gun tricks, and for your language Infernal will be good for your Inferno Trigger.
Again: we came to Variant Human land for a Feat because two guns are better than one. The Crossbow Expert Feat will give you a variety of benefits: no need to reload (or at least the ability to ignore the Loading property), no disadvantage in melee range... But most importantly if you fire a Hand Crossbow (which will be working as our handgun in this build) you can fire it again as a Bonus Action! "Well! Look at you."
ABILITY SCORES
15; DEXTERITY - Dexterity is tied to both shooting and backflips.
14; CHARISMA - Who needs a military license when you’ve got style?
13; WISDOM - Wisdom measures how in-tune you are with the world around you, and you need heightened senses not to die doing stupid shit.
12; CONSTITUTION - Most of Samira’s sustain comes from Lifesteal but we won’t really be able to get lifesteal, so just focus on not dying really.
10; STRENGTH - It takes a lot of upper body strength to do the stuff that Samira does but Riot isn’t about to make another Illaoi.
8; INTELLIGENCE - Your primary goal is to do things as recklessly and dangerously as possible... “for the Vine” as the kids say. Vine shut down ages ago!
BACKGROUND
Samira is a mercenary. I wonder if there’s a background for that... hey look at that Mercenary Veteran in the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide! You get proficiency in Athletics and Persuasion as well as Ground Vehicles and a gaming set of your choice. But of course the main benefit of being a mercenary is the Mercenary Life. You can easily identify other mercenaries and know bits and pieces of their lives. You can also easily find work by hanging around taverns and such until Captain Indari passes on some info to you.
Tumblr media

THE BUILD
LEVEL 1 - ROGUE 1
Starting off as a Rogue because I like skill proficiencies! Skills like Acrobatics, Perception, Insight, and Performance; you were a street performer once! You also get Expertise in two of those skills: Acrobatics and Athletics are necessary to be everywhere at once.
You can chat in Noxian military code thanks to Thieves’ Cant, but c’mon that’s not what we’re here for. We’re here for Sneak Attack! If an enemy is distracted or you have advantage you can stick a d6 where the sun don’t shine!
LEVEL 2 - ROGUE 2
Second level Rogues get Cunning Action, letting them Dash, Disengage, or Hide as a Bonus Action. Dance around the battlefield like an Olympic gymnast... does Runeterra have the Olympics?
LEVEL 3 - ROGUE 3
Third level Rogues get to choose their Roguish Archetype: to be the queen of style and also make people think you’re from Bilgewater (yeah I get it; it’s because of the eyepatch) look no further than the Swashbuckler subclass. Swashbucklers get two abilities at level 1 but honestly it’s more like three abilities: Rakish Audacity will let you add your Charisma modifier to initiative rolls so you can get into fights fast, and will also let you Sneak Attack anyone who’s beside you. I’d consider it less like you sneak attacking them and more like you slashing them with your sword. Oh and speaking of Sneak Attack? That increases to 2d6 now.
Speaking of sword slashing: Fancy Footwork is the mobile feat! Well, it makes it so that after you try to make a melee attack against an enemy you can move away without provoking opportunity attacks. It’s a little weird to run around with a sword in one hand and a gun in the other but you can easily slash at someone before backflipping away and running off to shoot them next turn!
Tumblr media

LEVEL 4 - BARD 1
You didn’t think we’d be settling for just one class, did you? It’s time to go Bard; the masters of style! Bards get another skill proficiency at level 1 because why not be good at everything? Grab Medicine proficiency because it’s good to know how to bandage yourself up when living a dangerous lifestyle. “On my worst behavior." You also get a musical instrument and you know that I’ll always opt for good ol’ Noxian War Drums.
Bards get Bardic Inspiration, letting them show off their awesomeness so that awesomeness radiates onto their allies to give them a d6 to attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. You’ve got a number of these equal to your Charisma modifier, and regain them at the end of a Long Rest. For now, at least.
And of course while you may be all guns your style makes it look like Spellcasting... because it is. Bards get 2 cantrips and 4 spells at level 1:
CANTRIPS
Prestidigitation will let you put all the visual flair you could want on your moves, and more!
If you wanna walk the walk you’ve gotta talk the talk, and Vicious Mockery will let you talk smack so hard they can’t hit back! "Keep the change; you're gonna need it."
SPELLS
Magic is usually dangerous, and danger is usually fun! Take Detect Magic to see where that danger may be!
If you need some space in a pinch Thunderwave will give yourself some peel.
Steel yourself to do something crazy with Heroism, which will also give you a bit of a shield to do so!
You are still technically working for Noxus so it would be good to Identify anything important... or valuable... For safe keeping of course!
LEVEL 5 - BARD 2
Second level Bards truly are good at everything thanks to Jack of All Trades, letting you add half your proficiency bonus to any skill you don’t have proficiency in. You probably noticed that we already have proficiency in a silly amount of skills but I’m not going to say no to MORE!
After dangerous stunts it’s good to cool off with a Song of Rest, letting you help your crew with a d6 of healing during short rests to bandage up those wounds.
And of course: more spells! Faerie Fire will let you light ‘em up to get advantage, which will make it easier to sneak attack!
LEVEL 6 - BARD 3
Third level Bards get Expertise in two more skills: Perception will help you spot danger and Medicine will help you after dealing with danger.
But of course what we’re mainly here for is your Bardic College and in order to be too cool for school go for the College of Swords. You get some Bonus Proficiencies that don’t really matter but what does matter is you can use your sword to cast spells instead of a drum! Additionally you get a choice of Fighting Style and Dueling will make your sword swings do more damage if you swing it with one hand. I guess it’s worth mentioning that while a rapier would do the most damage a scimitar is the only finesse weapon that does slashing? (Excluding whips.)
But the main feature we’re here for is Blade Flourish which despite the name does also work with your hand crossbows. When you attack your movement speed increases by 10 feet as you charge up that Daredevil Impulse. If you hit with your shot however you can make a Blade Flourish (which again works with your hand crossbows?) of your choice from the following list:
Defensive Flourish does extra damage and also increases your AC as you dodge incoming projectiles.
Slashing Flourish will let you cleave with your sword (and just your sword because it only works on nearby enemies.)
Mobile Flourish will let you chase after a fleeing foe... after pushing them. But after shoving them into danger you can use your reaction to dive right in!
You can only use one Blade Flourish per turn which will matter later. As for what will matter now? Second level spells! Enhance Ability will help you give 110%!
LEVEL 7 - BARD 4
Heeey it’s about time we got an Ability Score Improvement! Our Dexterity has been lacking and you need that to fire straight!
Word of advice: if you know you aren’t going to level 20 feel free to get 4 levels in Rogue for the sake of the ASI.
You also get another spell, and another cantrip! For your cantrip Message is always good for keeping in team chat. For leveled spells Warding Wind does let you deflect nearby projectiles so... 
LEVEL 8 - BARD 5
5th level Bards get Font of Inspiration so their Bardic Inspiration die come back on a Short Rest, which is good because said Bardic Inspiration die also increases to a d8! Oh and when I say “Bardic Inspiration” I actually mean your Blade Flourish die. "If you can't keep up don't step up. I don't have time for fools."
And now third level spells are up on the table, but they all suck so take Mirror Image from the second level instead, which was added to the Bard spell list thanks to Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything!
Tumblr media

LEVEL 9 - RANGER 1
Three way multiclass? Don’t mind if I do! You get an extra skill proficiency by multiclassing into Ranger, because why not. Take Survival because you’re clearly damn good at it since you’re still alive.
Rangers get Deft Explorer at level 1 because Natural Explorer sucks and Tasha’s made Ranger a good class! Canny lets you learn two languages (honestly just pick your poison) and get Expertise in another skill, because lord knows we don’t have enough of those. I know we just got Survival proficiency, but it’s good to be good at not dying! (As well as finding food.)
You also get Favored Foe at first level, because Favored Enemy smells. If you shoot someone you can legally-not-Hunter’s Mark them so they take a d4 of extra damage once per turn when you shoot them. You concentrate on it like a spell and it works a lot like the Hunter’s Mark spell but you have a limited number of uses equal to your proficiency bonus, instead of using your spell slots.
LEVEL 10 - RANGER 2
Heeey more Fighting Styles! You already improved your sword swings so take Archery for +2 to ranged attack rolls to ensure that you hit your shots.
Rangers also get Spellcasting, only this spellcasting works with your Wisdom instead of your Charisma! You learn two spells from the Ranger list: Jump will let you do some hardcore parkour because the Ranger spell list sucks and I’ve got nothing else to give you, and Cure Wounds will allow Samira to have some healing... as a treat.
LEVEL 11 - RANGER 3
Third level Rangers can choose their archetype and Hunters are masters at taking down their foes. You can choose a way to take down your Hunter’s Prey. Colossus Slayer is a fairly simple affair: if you shoot (or stab) someone who’s already hurt they take an extra d8 of damage. Though you can only apply that extra d8 once per turn.
You also learn another spell: Longstrider will help you move thanks to that Daredevil Impulse. 10 feet may not seem like much but remember that you get an extra 10 feet thanks to Blade Flourish and can dash to turn 50 feet into 100 feet of movement!
Oh and I also completely forgot about Primal Awareness, which replaces Primeval Awareness. You can Speak with Animals once per day! Maybe not in character, but it helps if you have a Yuumi!
LEVEL 12 - RANGER 4
4th level Rangers get an Ability Score Improvement: time to finally cap that Dexterity score for the most precise shots and deadly cuts possible!
Tumblr media
(Artwork by Jennifer Wuestling. Made for Riot Games.)
LEVEL 13 - RANGER 5
Total level 13 isn’t too late to get an Extra Attack, right? Well you can shoot twice now and mix some more Flair into your combos.
You can also learn second level spells now like Aid (ty Tasha’s) to let that adrenaline kick in so you feel no pain. Primal Awareness also gives you Beast Sense for a bit of covert Psy Ops.
LEVEL 14 - RANGER 6
6th level Rangers get Roving from Deft Explorer for 5 extra feet of movement along with a climbing speed and a swimming speed! Reminder that in combination with both Longstrider and Blade Flourish that increases to a whopping 55 movement speed, which means that you can Dash as a Bonus Action to move 110 feet in a turn! "Danger runs from me." Your Favored Foe mark also increases to a d6 of damage.
LEVEL 15 - RANGER 7
7th level Hunters learn some Defensive Tactics: while perhaps not the most useful since you have Heroism and all you’ve certainly got a Steel Will, giving you advantage against being frightened. “Death isn't the scariest thing; it's a mother's rage."
You can also learn another spell: Lesser Restoration can be helpful in a pinch if someone’s trying to slow you down. Or at least if they’re trying to blind, deafen, poison, or paralyze you.
LEVEL 16 - RANGER 8
8th level of Ranger means another Ability Score Improvement: Charisma means higher initiative rolls as well as more Blade Flourishes. Simply put Wisdom can’t beat style!
Oh yeah and you also get Land’s Stride to move through non-magical difficult terrain and plants without slowing down, and for advantage against magic plants. I legit forgot this was even a thing before seeing it on the character sheet.
Tumblr media
(Artwork by dominaART on DeviantArt)
LEVEL 17 - RANGER 9
9th level Rangers get 3rd level spells like Conjure Barrage for some bullet rain; "My kind of rain!" Basically you shoot a bunch of bullets in a big cone, because Rangers get this instead of Fireball. Honestly something like Elemental Weapon (ty Tasha’s) would probably be better but we’re still sticking to flavor.
Oh and you can Speak with Plants thanks to Primal Awareness? Honestly these extra spells don’t fit at all but Primeval Awareness sucks. I’m literally adding these extra spells to the build last second.
LEVEL 18 - RANGER 10
10th level Rangers get Tireless from Deft Explorer. As an action, you can give yourself a Shieldbow shield for 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier in Temporary Hitpoints. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Additionally: whenever you finish a short rest, your exhaustion level is decreased by 1. Because danger doesn’t wait!
You also get Nature’s Veil because even if Vanish fits Samira better it still freaking sucks. Basically you can play around with Duskblade to turn invisible as a Bonus Action until the end of your next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
LEVEL 19 - RANGER 11
11th level Hunters can finally spin around and hit everyone around them. Whirlwind Attack will let you make a melee attack against any enemy within 5 feet of you (with a separate attack roll for each target.) This is best used when surrounded (obviously) because unlike Samira’s ultimate in League it doesn’t do much extra damage, and you’re better off just stabbing them twice if you want DPS in a 1v1.
You also get your final spell known: take Wind Wall because you have an AoE Wind Wall and I thought it would be funny to steal directly from mister 0/10 powerspike himself. But really get whatever spell you think will be useful.
LEVEL 20 - RANGER 12
Full disclosure: feel free to go for 4 levels in Rogue if you know you aren’t going to hit level 20. I only went for Ranger level 12 because the hit die is bigger.
One last ability score improvement to top the build off: Charisma is still used for a lot of abilities, so increase that because who needs common sense when you’ve got blade flourishes!
FINAL BUILD
PROS
Came all this way to die? - You have many a way to bump up the damage. With 2d6 on a sneak attack, an extra d6 from Favored Foe, a d8 from Blade Flourishes, and a d8 from Colossus Slayer that means that on average you can do about 20 extra damage every turn. That’s definitely nothing to sneeze at!
Finally some action! - Have you ever had +12 to initiative? Would you like to? You are incredibly mobile for a girl who didn’t bring Flash (IE Misty Step) with tons of ways to increase your movement speed and the ability to Dash every turn as a Bonus Action.
This took years of practice... for everyone else - It was not my intention but wow you’re quite the little skill monkey. Two expertise skills from Rogue, another 2 from Bard, and one more from Deft Explorer. Not to mention Jack of All Trades in what few skills you aren’t proficient in to make sure you can do just about anything.
CONS
Oh... I really gotta check these more often - Your spellcasting really isn’t fantastic. We invested almost everything into Charisma but we have very few Bard spells. While I did my best to avoid Ranger spells that forced saving throws there are still some that suffer due to your relatively low Wisdom score... Oh yeah you also have 6th level spell slots but your known spells don’t go past level 3. At least that means you can buff the party with Aid!
I feel most alive when I'm walking the line - As great as your skill checks are your saving throws are quite lacking. Your Dexterity is nice but that’s about it; all your other saves range from average (+5) to bad (+0) Notably your Constitution saves are a mere +1, which means you won’t keep concentration up for long if you play recklessly.
Well-behaved women don't make it - There are a lot of features I took more for flavor then actual utility. For a start Hunter is a rather meh multiclass. This might be one of the times “just play a Fighter with a bow” applies as a subclass like Battlemaster would’ve likely been a better choice, and honestly going down full Swords Bard would’ve given you far more utility overall. There were benefits from Ranger levels but they were lost in the multiclassing MADness.
But you prove that modern-day killers really must hate fun; more often people can’t get style rockin' knives and guns. You don’t need no fancy magic or divine ascension to be a badass: gun ‘em down and cut through whatever remains to show that S stands for Samira and Samira alone... As long as she isn’t permabanned.

Coming Home, Taking Flight ‐ Chapter 1: Touchdown, Japan
A look into Hinata's return to Japan, his interactions with his friends, and how he makes it into the MSBY Black Jackals.
Reposting Chap 1 in text format.
His plane lands on an early morning, the sun just about to rise, as if it's rays were greeting him and welcoming him back.
Hinata Shouyou steps into Sendai Airport with a big smile and a feeling of euphoria. After two years navigating through the sands of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Shouyou was finally home. Two grueling years of trying his best to master the sands, to stand on his own two feet, for the chance to compete with the monsters that were waiting for him here. He was finally confident enough to say that he knew how to stand on his own on the court. He no longer needed to be branded as anyone's accessory, and he's finally found a way to fight his own battles.
He was ready to show the world that Ninja Shouyou was finally home where he belongs, and the first thing he has to do to make that happen...is to head to baggage claim.
Hinata navigates the airport with ease, as he successfully locates his things, and makes sure to double check that nothing is missing. He didn't want a repeat of when his money got stolen in Rio, so he takes ample time to check that he has everything, before making his way to the arrivals bay.
It feels odd to Shouyou. The sensation of finally being home, but also the feeling of starting something new once again. Here he is back in familiar territory, and after two years of making a name for himself on the beach, he is once again a complete stranger to those in the world of professional indoor volleyball. But that's okay. Shouyou's used to not being in the spotlight, being the decoy, the odd one out. He'd just have to find a way to make sure he makes an impression on the court.
He's just exited through the arrivals gate, baggage in tow, and about to grab his phone from his pocket to send a message to his mom regarding his arrival. Suddenly, another body barrels into him and envelopes him into a big, tight hug.
"Nii-chan! Welcome Home!" Shouyou doesn't even need to look to know who it is, and he immediately hugs back. For two years he's missed this. Two years of missing his little sister's birthday, her entrance to Niiyama Girl's High School, her volleyball tryouts and her overall presence. It feels like ages since Hinata has seen Natsu, feeling as if he's already missed so much in the short two years he's been gone. The thought of missing all of her newest milestones, and of not being able to see her whenever he came home at the end of the day, just makes Shouyou tighten his hold on her.
"Natsu. I missed you." He tells her, while eagerly lifting her up with ease. She's gotten much taller, her smile still bright and her eyes still sparkling like they used to.
"I missed you too Nii-chan." Natsu pushes away a bit, still being held up by her brother, and smiles wide. "Nii-chan you got a tan!"
Shouyou grins and lets out a laugh. "And you got taller! Unfair! You're probably going to end up taller than me!" He puts her back down, waits for her feet to properly touch the floor, and ruffles her hair with his other hand, full of affection. He notes in relief that Natsu still loved the attention from her big brother. He won't mention it out loud, but he's happy that, at least, hasn't changed.
He breaks their little moment together, when he notices that Natsu is alone. "Wait, I thought mom said she couldn't come to pick me up today? Because of work?" he asks her confused, he was already ready to book a taxi to make his way home. Shouyou didn't want to burden his family knowing that his flight would arrive extremely early.
"She couldn't." Natsu says with the grin never leaving her face. "Someone else is here to pick you up Nii-chan, I just got mom's permission to tag along."
As if on cue, not one, but multiple footsteps could be heard rushing towards them. "Hinata!!" Shouyou looks up and can't help his smile from widening even more.
"Yamaguchi! Yachi! Saltyshima!" He hears Natsu laugh at this.
"Seriously? I show up here for you and that's the first thing you say to me? I should have stayed home. Tsk." Tsukishima crosses his arms but a smirk is definitely etched on his face.
"Aw don't say that Tsukki!" Shouyou grins back. How he's missed this, bantering with Tsukishima.
"Don't call me that."
"Saltyshima it is then!"
The other two Karasuno alumni then immediately rush in between the them to give Hinata each big hugs. Yachi hugs him first, complete with the tears of joy in her eyes as she revels in seeing her friend again after two years. Yamaguchi hugs him next, laughing and joking at his height and new tanned look. "I can't believe how tall you've gotten Hinata! You're not so small anymore!"
"Yama-yama! I missed you! I hope you kept Slatyshima in line while I was away." Shouyou sees Tsukishima's eyebrows raise, and he just grins. Yachi and Natsu are chatting in the sidelines, while noting how Shouyou has changed so much in two years.
"Where do you even get these nicknames." Tsukishima sighs.
"Don't worry Saltyshima! I made sure to buy a special souvenir just for you." Shouyou grins.
"Oh god." Tsukishima sighs.
He hears Yamaguchi laugh again at their playful exchange, before they each begin to help him carry some of his belongings. "Now come on you two, I know you missed each other" Yachi starts "but we have to get going now, we have to drive the Hinatas' back home!"
"Awww you guys are driving me?" Shouyou exclaims, and then his smile softens. "You guys didn't have to. I didn't want anyone to go through the trouble, really."
"We wanted to." Yachi assures him softly. "Did you really think we would let you travel all the way back home by yourself?"
"Well..."
"Besides, we had to fight Kenma-san for this chance so..." she says with a grin.
"Wait what?" Shouyou asks, confused. He looks over at Natsu to ask for answers, but she shakes her head and replies. "Don't worry about it too much Nii-chan. They were able to reach a pretty good compromise."
"Compromise for what?" he asks again, but no one seems to want to answer him.
"Don't worry about it." Yachi tells him again with a wink. "That's something for you to look forward to."
Yamaguchi grins and chooses now to butt in. "Think about it this way, Tsukki loves you enough to drive for you, Hinata."
Shouyou looks over to the side and he's pretty sure he sees Tsukishima twitch. "Awwwwww Saltyshima!! I knew you loved me!" Yachi and Natsu giggle in the background as Tsukishima lets out a huff.
"First off, Yamaguchi shut up." a small, practiced 'sorry Tsukki' could be heard in the background. "Second, I only agreed to do this because everyone else was worried you'd get lost somewhere if we left you to find your way home on your own."
"Alright Tsukki, whatever you say. Whatever gets you to sleep better at night." Shouyou grins. 
"Let's just go before I leave you here, you shrimp."
Yachi laughs as she pats Tsukishima on the back, and tells him in a singsong voice. "He's not a shrimp anymore."
Soon enough, they eventually get to moving and continue to walk and talk. Once they make it to the car, with Tsukishima driving, Yamaguchi in the passengers seat and the two females and himself at the back, Shouyou can't help but look around the scenery outside. It's finally hitting him that he's back in Japan for real.
Japan's scenery passes by them in a blur as they drive past, and Shouyou begins to ask his sister about how she's been in school. Natsu is ecstatic to tell her brother all about her volleyball games in Niiyama. "You should have seen me Nii-chan! We're going to make our way to Nationals just like you guys did!"
"We should play together some time Natsu! I can toss for you!" He exclaims in excitement. The idea of playing the sport he loved with the sister he loved made Shouyou extremely happy. Getting to share his love of the sport with Natsu was something he was very much looking forward to. 
"I can't wait to see that. Think you can toss better than the king now?" And even when he's driving, Tsukishima could still look smug through the rearview mirror.
Shouyou laughs. "I don't think so, but I've been getting some practice in, these past two years. That, and the Grand King taught me." The thrill of playing with Oikawa-san in the beaches of Brazil will never truly wear off. And Shouyou will happily boast about that fact that Argentina's very own Oikawa Tooru had been one of the people who'd taught him the basics of setting. That, and Oikawa-san's image of his face hitting the sands mid-dive, will also be forever imbedded in Shouyou's memory. 
The conversation eventually drifts away from volleyball and Shouyou begins to ask his friends how other members of their old Karasuno team have been. He briefly wonders if he'd have the time to properly visit everyone during his short stay in Miyagi before his tryouts, but knows this might be best postponed at a latter time, when he is better settled in. The last thing he would want is to rush a reunion just because he had no time available at the moment.  
"Suga-senpai is a teacher now, and Daichi-san works for the Miyagi Police Force. They're living together now, I think?." starts Yamaguchi. It's no surprise to all of them that their captain and vice-captain eventually ended up together. Even during high school, the two were already considered as the pseudo parents of the team. 
Yachi then claps her hands together before continuing "Asahi-san's new line is supposed to be out soon too! And Nishinoya-san is still travelling I think. I've seen most of his photos on social media!"
"Am I the only one surprised about Tanaka-san and Kiyoko-san?" Tsukishima states. "Is no one going to mention that?"
Shouyou can't help but laugh at that "Now you're just being mean."
"So are you telling me that it didn't surprise you when you found out?" Tsukishima looks at him from the mirror and raises an eyebrow.
"Well...." It's true that the mentioned couple was definitely one of the most surprising, but Shouyou likes to think that Kiyoko-san would definitely balance out Tanaka-senpai pretty well. 
"It definitely surprised me! Can't believe he actually did it." says Yamaguchi with a grin. 
"I can't believe she said yes."
"Tsukki!"
"Again, weren't you guys just as surprised?"
"Oh yeah, definitely." agrees Yachi with a small laugh of her own.
"I rest my case."
The drive home continues as they laugh and reminisce, and soon enough Shouyou feels himself drifting off. The tiredness suddenly overcoming him as he slowly begins to fall into slumber, and let out a yawn. He faintly hears teasing coming from Tsukishima, while Yachi and Yamaguchi are telling the latter to let him get his rest. As he continues to lose consciousness and let sleep overtake him, he feels a head rest on his shoulder and forces his eyes open for a few more minutes, only to see Natsu looking up at him.
"Welcome home Nii-chan." she tells him softly.
"Glad to be home Natsu. I missed you tons." He tells her, as he slowly reaches up, with his other arm, and pats her head. "I'm proud of you, and I hope you're ready to have me back. Because I have two years worth of memories to make up for."
Natsu smiles wide. "Of course Nii-chan. I missed you tons too. Things weren't the same without you." she leans into his side a little more before speaking again. "I can't wait to watch you play in the league." she tells him softly. Seems like Natsu was also starting to drift to sleep. Shouyou is unsure if any of the others are still talking at this point, but he figures they're probably also giving the siblings some time to catch up on their own, even if it was just for a little while. 
Shouyou chuckles. "I have to show up to tryouts and make it into a team first Natsu."
"You will. You'll make it, I know you will." Natsu says with certainty.
"If I do, you'll be the first to know, I promise." He tells her. His eyes are beginning to close now. It's feels like it's been ages since he's had a moment like this with Natsu. Shouyou wants to revel in it, just a little longer.
"You mean WHEN you do."  Natsu tells him again, firmly. "Believe in yourself more Nii-chan. You're Hinata Shouyou, and people are about to see just what you're made of."
Shouyou already knows the team he wants to be in, knows the capabilities of the players in the Black Jackal's roster, and knows the names and faces to some of those greats. Shouyou knows within himself that he is good enough, he just has to find a way to get others to see how high he can fly.
He smiles as he lets Natsu's words of encouragement and comfort wash over him. How lucky he is, Shouyou thinks, to have the best people surrounding him in this life. Natsu is right. He's trained hard to compete with the monsters of today, the last thing he has room for is self-doubt.
As Shouyou fully lets his thoughts drift, and his body give in to the lull of sleep, he feels his sister already drifting beside him with her head still on his shoulders. In the background, he thinks he hears what sounds like a camera clicking, and is sure that either Yachi or Yamaguchi has taken a photo of himself and Natsu while drifting. 'I should ask to see that photo later'
This warmth and comfort he surrounds himself with, and the excitement of the days to come are Shouyou's continuous reminders that:
It really was great, to be back home.

Heya! Hope you're doing well! Just wondering if I could request the Obey Me brothers (maybe just Satan, Luci, or Asmo?) With an MC who proposes at the same time as they do? Remember to stay hydrated and take some time for yourself! Enjoy your day :)
Hi! Thank you for your kind words, I haven't been drinking a lot of water lately and this helped to remind me! I hope you have a good rest of your day as well!
(Of course I'll do all the brothers! I used 2nd POV, if that's alright - )
The brothers' reactions to an MC who proposes at the same time as them
Lucifer
It was all set in place. He invited you to his study to drink tea and chat, his brothers should be asleep at this time, and you two had been together for so long that he couldn't imagine a life without you. Today marked your anniversary, which was the perfect time to pop the question.
(No he was not nervous, Lucifer did not get nervous what are you talking about - )
Once they arrived and got settled, Lucifer cleared his throat to get their attention. Straightforward and honest was the most efficient approach, and he will not back out of this. "I have called you here because there is something I wished to tell you. Will you m- "
"Lucifer, will you marry me?"
There it was. The words he wanted to say, but directed at him instead with his own name falling from your lips. His eyes widened, the tiny box gripped in his hands as his eyes zeroed in on the box in yours.
"Looks like I beat you to the punch!" You laughed, the sudden but bright sound filling the room, and even though he felt annoyed at being cut off, he couldn't help but smile. You truly were one of a kind, weren't you?
"...So it seems. Now, come here; I need to put this on your finger."
And honestly? He finds it endearing that you had the same thoughts as him
He doesn't let it show though, and instead treats you to the rest of your date in his office
"Now that we are engaged, you will be the one to tell Lord Diavolo how the proposal occurred at our wedding."
"Wh- Lucifer!"
(Won't admit that he was nervous concerned for a hot second there)
Mammon
This was it. He was gonna do it.
Mammon had taken you for a night stroll throughout Devildom (getting kicked out/chased from casinos along the way), the two of you coming to a stop in front of a fountain sculpted in Lord Diavolo's image. He was nervous to the point that you had noticed, brushing your hand with his to get his attention.
"Mammon? Is something wrong?"
Mammon refused to look at you, taking your hands into his own. "When you first came here, I didn't want to associate with ya. You're just a human, after all, and why did I have to babysit ya?"
You snorted, holding back a laugh at the obvious direction this was going, but let him continue.
"A-And, somehow, I became your first. Not just for your pact; I became your first for lots of stuff."
He got to a knee, not realizing that you mirrored his actions with an amused look on your face. His own cheeks were a dark red, and you were proud of the courage he was displaying.
"I...want to keep being your first from here on out. S-So, will ya ma- "
"-rry me?"
Mammon blinked as your voice finished his sentence. He looked up to see - yep, you were proposing to him too.
This boi is all over the place after that
"YOU WERE PROPOSIN' TOO?!"
He then proceeds to yell at you of all things, but you're too busy laughing at the chaos of it all
Takes you by surprise when he slips the ring onto your finger with gentle care, a smile on his face as he puts your ring on by himself. "Stupid human, tryin' to outdue me...you're lucky I'm sayin' yes."
Leviathan
It took him a while to muster up his courage to tell you.
It made perfect sense to Levi: even though you were a normie, you were an amazing, attractive, and endearing human, while he was a disgusting otaku who barely left his room in favor of playing games. You were the one who initiated most of the romantic gestures, and he wouldn't admit it but he felt bad about it.
Still, though...this was one thing he wanted to do for you.
You two were playing Mononoke Land together, the overall quiet of the room being filled with the chimes from your devices as you farmed for xp.
"Hey, you know that you're the Henry to my Lord of Shadows, right?"
The question caught you off-guard. You raised a brow as you nodded, worried that Levi would start talking bad about himself again.
"Well, to me you're more than that. You've done a lot for me and my brothers - yeah yeah, "my brothers and I", stop laughing! - and go through the trouble of hanging out with me through the good and the bad."
He stands up, missing the blatant affection in your eyes for the demon in front of you as he fishes around his pocket. He, actually went out and bought it with Asmo, who was all-too-delighted to do so, and pulls it out.
"Thanks, for everything. Will you be my Player Two?"
"Will you marry me Levi?"
The phrases were said at the same time. Levi was shocked to see you holding a box of your own to him, and oh god is that a ring -
...Let's just say that he's still a tomato when dinner rolls around, unable to look at anyone or anything in favor of silently asking the higher beings to strike him where he sat
He feels ashamed. He feels like he's on cloud nine. Is that normal? Either way, you love him all the same.
Overall, a dorky yet endearing confession (which you still chuckle at to this day as you remember it).
Satan
"Well, this certainly is an interesting turn of events."
It was one of your stay-in dates at the library. You were fiddling around on your D.D.D., looking nervous for some reason, and Satan was contemplating the best way to bring up his proposal.
"Satan, I - "
"There's something - "
You both paused, chuckling at your timing. Satan had found out early on that one of the qualities he loved about you was the way your face dusted pink in embarrassment, a shy smile adorning your face.
The urge to carry out his plan at that moment grew stronger, but he was also curious about what was troubling you.
"Shall we say it on the count of three?"
You nodded. Satan couldn't help but smile at your bashfulness.
"1, 2...3."
"Will you marry me?"
You both stared at the other in shock. It was silent for 7 seconds before Satan's laugh, which was gentle and chimed like bells, filled the void.
"It seems we know each other a little bit too well."
You couldn't help but stare in awe. His laugh was precious, and you...you wanted to hear more of it.
You smiled. "I'm not hearing a no?"
Satan chuckled, slipping the ring onto your finger and letting you do the same to him. "How could I ever say no to you?"
In short? You both propose in a quiet spot at the exact same time, word for word, and he laughs because he knows he's so utterly in love with you. It makes retelling the whole ordeal at your wedding less embarrassing to do.
Asmodeus
To be honest, this man (demon) has never considered marriage before you came into his life.
He preferred to have no ties in relationships, but something about you makes him want to stay. You were good to him, and looked past his naturally alluring (and flirtatious) self. What more could he ask for?
He wanted to make you his, and his only. And, maybe...wanted more of that domestic life you brought to him and his family, where every day brings something new.
He set it all up. You two would go shopping at Majolish, then get a manicure, then on the way back to his room he'd propose. Today was a special day, after all; it marked the anniversary of when you first formed a pact with each other.
"Asmo? Hon, what's wrong?" You asked, carrying your bags as you turned back to look at him.
Asmo blinked. "Oh, sorry about that luv! I spaced out for a bit there. Here, let's take a break okay?"
He didn't wait for your input, dragging you over to a bench situated at the entrance of a park. Despite it being eternally night in Devildom, it was peaceful; he decided to finally pop the question.
"Babe, do you remember when we first met?"
You raised a brow. "When I first arrived, yes? Or do you mean when we formed our pact?"
Asmo smiled. You caught on quick, as usual. "Ever since then I've found you intriguing, and I never thought there'd come a day where a human could keep up with my shopping and then some. Dating you has made me so very happy, and I want you to know that I love you."
There were tears in your eyes. If you hadn't known him for as long as you did, you would've thought that he was only joking around, but the soft look in his eyes erased any doubts you might've had.
You were going to marry him.
"Asmo - "
"Will you marry me?" He interrupted, clasping your hands together. "That way, you can continue to look at me and only me, and I'll try to fight off anyone who wants a piece of this delicious body."
He winked, and you giggled. "Funny you say that; I was going to propose to you today."
Asmo stilled for .2 seconds but quickly recovered, immediately whipping out his D.D.D. to contact his brothers while giving you a chaste yet searing kiss. Be prepared to have a lavish wedding early!
Beelzebub
If he had to pick a point where he fell in love with you, it was probably when you held his hand in comfort.
You were just...so gentle, so kind, and so patient with him. You cared about him, and he wanted to give you the world.
When you two first started dating, it felt surreal. Quickly, though, he began to feel like he was on cloud nine every time he looked at you and thought "I was chosen out of all of my brothers. I get to have this experience all to myself."
And he wanted to be with you forever.
He had stumbled upon the idea of marriage on accident, but it made him euphoric to know that there was a tradition that let them be together forever. He decided to act once he got advice from both Asmo and Satan, currently watching you bake brownies with a hum.
"You look happy."
You turn to him with a smile. "How can I not be? I'm here with the most amazing boyfriend in the world. What more can I ask for?"
...When I tell you he is SOFT -
"About that..."
He wrings his hands, nervous. You seem to come to a realization, reaching up to kiss his cheek.
"Beel, you know I love you, right?"
His eyes widened. Wait...were you seriously...?
He dug into the pockets of his pants, watching you do the same in a bit of a stupor. You both pull out a small box at the same time.
No way. No way.
He sweeps you into the biggest bear hug ever, relieved that you had the same idea as him. He can't stop smiling, either, his chest warm and face aglow at the thought of just how lucky he is to have you in his life.
"I love you so so much."
Seriously though, he's so pure so please marry him
Belphegor
Blankets? Check.
Pillows? Check.
Clear view of the night sky? Triple check.
You, by his side? Quadruple check.
You both had decided to watch a meteor shower from the Observatory, a pile of soft blankets and pillows surrounding both of you on the floor.
You had been dating for a...longer time than he thought you'd be. After the whole "I-killed-you" thing, he assumed that you hated him, and for a bit you did. However, you forgave him, which is more than he could ever ask for, and somehow that led to the unbreakable trust you have now.
The past was the past; he wanted you to remain in his life, no matter what happened.
"I know I can be a bit much," He murmured, catching your attention, "But I really want to stay with you."
You smiled, pure and ethereal. "The feeling's mutual, Sleeping Beauty."
It was a nickname that, unfortunately, had stuck. He gave you a half smile at that, leaning in closer until your lips were barely brushing.
"No, I meant it in a different way."
You connect the dots. With laugh as you push him away, scrambling to explain once you see a flash of hurt in his eyes.
"It's funny you say that, 'cause - "
Something slid onto his ring finger. He looked down.
A...ring?
He pulled you in for a kiss, putting every euphoric emotion he was feeling into it. "You're to good for me," He whispered once he pulled away, resting his forehead against your own.
You lightly punch his shoulder. "Dork. It looks like you're stuck with me for life."
He snaked an arm around you as you both turned to look at the streaks flitting across the sky, fading fast but burning bright.
He glanced over at you, your face glowing in the low light of the stars and illuminating the childlike wonder in your eyes.
You are beautiful, he thought.
He kissed your temple, leaning against you. "How pissed do you think Lucifer will be to hear that we're engaged already?"

Its been a week my dude. If you're still doing requests, maybe a little bit of Obi-wan fluff? Love youuuuuuu💙💛💙
Here you go! Sorry it took me so long!
Thank you @thedevilwearsvibranium for helping me come up with a plot 💕
☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲
"Come on, Obi! What if someone attacks me and manages to incapacitate you, and then all I have to defend myself is your lightsaber but I don't know how to use it!" 
You had been watching him train for some time now, happy to just observe him moving graciously and slashing the air with his saber.
An attempt on your life a few weeks prior caused the council to assign a Jedi to your protection. 
You had known the Jedi for a long time, ever since you became a senator. You always thought he was witty and quite charming, but all this time with him practically shadowing you, following everywhere you went, you found your feelings growing stronger. You tried to be rational and keep yourself from falling, you really did. You knew a Jedi could never be with someone. But all the rationalization in the world couldn't help this simple fact: you were in love with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
You had risen as you spoke, getting closer to him and sending a lazy grin his way. "Really, it's your duty to let me try it out, teach me a few moves."
"Is it, now?" He came to a stop and turned his lightsaber off, raising his brow. You could see a hint of the smile he was trying to conceal.
"Yup," you replied, popping the 'p.' 
He let out a soft chuckle. "Well, in that case." He extended his arm, gesturing for you to join him.
You looked at him with wide eyes, you had never thought he would actually agree. You were just bored and decided to tease him, really. But you would be lying if you said that you hadn't dreamed more than once of trying the infamous weapon for yourself. So you quickly made your way to him, only thinking to mask how eager you truly were a little too late.
He laughed again as he watched you all but run to him, shaking his head slightly at your excitement, put this time he didn't bother trying to hide the smile that formed on his lips. 
"Okay, so what do I do?" you asked as you stretched your sore muscles. 
"First, you need to be in the proper stance," he said as he demonstrated, and you followed suit. 
"Alright." He turned his lightsaber on, and cautiously handed it over to you. You took it gently, feeling out its weight. After just a few seconds of holding it, it already felt so natural to you. Maybe you had been a Jedi in another life.
"Now what?" 
Your breath hitched and you almost dropped the weapon when you felt Obi-Wan's strong arms around you. His body practically enveloped yours, his chest pressed to your back. Suddenly it was quite hard to keep your focus on the lightsaber you were holding. 
His hand over yours guided you in a gentle motion, the buzzing of the saber mixed with the intoxication of his close proximity made you dizzy.
"Like that, that's it." His whispered words spoken so close to your ear sent a shiver down your spine. You focused your gaze back ahead on the saber, willing yourself to snap out of it. Those feelings were always dangerous, but when you were holding a great weapon, even more so. Now was not the time to let yourself get distracted by Obi-Wan's presence. Although he really wasn't helping with that right now.
He kept you moving slowly, but as hard as you tried, you couldn't be aware of anything other than Obi-Wan. His hands on yours, his arms around you, your back pressed to his chest, it was all too much. Without noticing, your hand came to a complete stop as you turned your face slightly to catch a better glimpse at his. He looked down at you, surprised by your sudden stop. You were so close to each other, if you only leaned in a bit, you would be kissing him-
"Right, um." He cleared his throat and backed away from you. You coughed, embarrassed, looking at anything but him. You glanced out of the corner of your eye his hand extended toward you and you quickly brought your eyes back to him. You observed him for a second, confused by the gesture, until you remember the lightsaber you were still holding. 
"Oh, right," you said as you handed it back to him. You ran your hand through your hair, putting some much needed distance between the two of you. "Than- thank you. I feel much safer now." You tried to joke, with a light smile that didn't quite reach your eyes.
"My pleasure," he responded, looking as uncomfortable as you felt right now. 
"It's getting pretty late, I think I should head back." 
"Yes, yes of course. I'll escort you," he said and you nodded, exiting the training room with him in tow.
~
"Alright, goodnight, Obi-Wan," you said softly as you were about to enter your room for the night. Obi-Wan was on your couch, ready to sleep also. He had insisted on staying with you at all times, refusing to leave you vulnerable to an attack during the night. You had in turn insisted on him letting you at least give him some better sleeping arrangements. Most of the pillows from your bed were now on your couch in an attempt to provide the man with some comfort. 
You knew it must be awful, sleeping on a couch for weeks, but it probably wasn't the worst situation he'd ever faced. And, selfishly, you had to admit you were glad to have him around. And not only because it made you feel safer.
"Goodnight, Y/N." The smile he gave you sent butterflies to your stomach, but you shook your head, ignoring the feeling and closing the door to your bedroom behind you.
~
You shot up in your bed as you woke up, screaming. Your heart beating way too fast in your chest, until you managed to take a deep, calming breath upon realizing that you were safe in your room. 
You could only remember vague images from your dream, but you did not desire to recall any more of it. It had clearly been quite unpleasant. 
Still pretty shaken, you tried to breathe slowly and calm yourself, when Obi-Wan burst through the door, his lightsaber ready, looking for the source of your scream.
"Y/N! What is it, are you alright?" He scanned the room as he spoke, searching for a threat. 
"I-" your voice cracked and you coughed before trying again. "It's okay, Obi-Wan, it was just a bad dream."
"Are you sure?" he asked, weapon still raised and his eyes still searching your room. When you nodded firmly, he finally relaxed and turned his saber off.
"Well, I'll leave you then-"
You cut him off before he had the chance to exit your room, "Actually, Obi, would you mind staying?" 
He passed a hand through his hair, looking at his feet. "I- I don't think that would be a good idea, it's-"
"Right," you interrupted, feeling embarrassed by your request and sudden lack of self control. "Right. No, I get it. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked…" you trailed off as you turned to face the other way, mortified. God, what have I done? I'll never be able to look him in the eye again, you thought.
Would he do you the courtesy of acting as if nothing had happened the next day? Or would everything be weird and uncomfortable now? First the moment in the training room earlier, now this. Today was not a good day for you, you had to pull yourself together and-
Your train of thought abruptly stopped when you felt the weight shift in your bed. You slowly turned your head to see Obi-Wan laying by your side. He looked at you and gave you a hesitant smile. "Is this… is this alright? Is that what you wanted?" 
You looked at him in awe, struggling to form words. Your prolonged silence made his soft look turn worried, and that's when you finally managed to let out a "Yes." You smiled contentedly as you settled back in, whispering just loud enough for him to hear, "Yes. This is perfect. This is exactly what I want."
You closed your eyes and let yourself drift off to sleep, all traces of a bad dream gone now that the man you loved was beside you.
"It's all I want too, Darling," Obi-Wan whispered softly as he brushed a strand of hair out of your face.
~
You woke up slowly. You could tell it was still the middle of the night even without opening your eyes, it was too dark to be day. But that was not what was odd about this scenario. No. What was odd was the warmth you felt around you… the arm holding you close… Obi-Wan!
You cautiously opened one eye, looking up to see the man's sleeping face. You had never seen him look so relaxed, all tension gone from his face. He looked so peaceful and serene, all you wanted was to nuzzle your face into the crook of his neck. But you didn't dare move. You knew that if he woke up, he would instantly let go of you.
So you would enjoy this for as long as it would last, refusing to let sleep claim you. You rarely had the opportunity to study him from so close without him noticing, so you took your chance now. You had never seen a mouth before that you would kill to kiss. It was a terrifying feeling, being so consumed by love for a man you could never have. But you knew that you could never want anyone else, so you were destined to suffer. 
You must not have been as still as you had thought, or maybe he had sensed the intensity of your gaze, because Obi-Wan lazily opened his eyes, looking down at you.
"Well, hello there." His voice was husky with sleep, and it almost made you melt. 
"I'm sorry- I don't- I should just-" you babbled, trying to find the words to justify your current situation. You gave up on words and instead went to untangle your limbs, but his voice stopped you.
"Please. Don't go." It was so low, you weren't one hundred percent sure you hadn't imagined it. But you stopped your movements and let yourself lie back down against him. His arm squeezing you tighter confirmed that you had heard him right. 
"I know this isn't right…" He breathed deeply. His fingers circling a pattern on your shoulder. 
He'd been quiet for so long, the only sign he was still awake his fingers brushing against your skin, you had almost forgotten he'd even said anything when he finally continued. "I know I shouldn't feel like this. 'A Jedi must not form attachment' but it's not like I meant to! I never sought it out. I didn't try to fall in love. Actually, I actively tried not to. But how could I not? How could I spend even a minute with you, and not fall in love? You are all I can think about, day and night. And I know that I'm tasked with your safety, so I should be spending a fair amount of time thinking about you. I should be thinking about your safety, who might want to hurt you, how to best protect you. But instead all I think about is how it would feel to brush my fingers against your skin, to hold you, to kiss you. You have completely taken hold of my entire being. I love you, Y/N. I love you."
You brushed the tears from your eyes before looking at him. You could see a single tear running down his face, and it broke your heart. You felt more tears come to your eyes. He took the hand that wasn't on your shoulder and brushed the tears gently with his thumb. As he was about to pull his hand back, you grabbed it with yours, bringing it to your lips and kissing it softly. 
"I love you, too, Obi-Wan. You have no idea how much I love you. Every day has been torture. All I want is to be pressed against you, like this. Earlier tonight, with your lightsaber, I almost dropped it so many times because I couldn't focus on anything but your arms around me. I couldn't bring myself to think, I only wanted to feel. Feel you."
Tears formed in his eyes, but you saw no sadness there, only love. Love for you. 
You put your hand to his cheek, cupping his face as you leaned into him and finally pressed your lips to his in a kiss both gentle and passionate. 
He pulled back just enough to be able to murmur against your lips. "I don't know how we'll make this work, but I know we will. I cannot believe anything else, because I simply cannot live without you." You smiled against his lips and pulled him back to you.

Sigurd Summoner Support
C Support
Sigurd: You wanted to speak with me, Summoner?
Summoner: Please, take a seat. How are your wounds healing?
Sigurd: Ethlyn took care of them; she said I should be fine in a few days. Is there a reason you called me? Have I done something wrong?
Summoner: It’s not that you’ve done anything wrong, just...reckless. The last battle, you ran headlong into the enemy without listening.. If it weren’t for the others, you would be worse off.
Sigurd: I apologize for causing confusion, however the people in that village were in danger. If I waited any longer a child would have died. My life is of little consequence if we can save the people.
Summoner: I realize how you feel, but you still need to follow orders. You’re part of the Order of Heroes in Askr, and we work together. So, please, be more conscious of your actions.
Sigurd: I will bear your words in mind. However I will not apologize for my actions as we managed to save everyone in the village. Without action many would have been slain.
Summoner: Just remember that you’re of no use to anyone dead.
Sigurd: …
B Support
Summoner: Sigurd, can I talk to you?
Sigurd: Of course. What can I help you with?
Summoner: I wanted to apologize for what I said last time we spoke. I realized that it was insensitive of me.
Sigurd: It’s fine. I know you were just trying to look out for me. You must understand something. I am a knight first and foremost. I cannot stand back and watch innocent people suffer. My first instinct is to charge forward with my sword.
Summoner: And I understand this now. I talked with Ethlyn, I hope you don’t mind, and she told me a little about when you were younger.
Sigurd: Ah, yes… I wasn’t the best when I was younger. Ethlyn would always cover for me back then. Please do not think I am the same as I was then.
Summoner: Of course not. She also told me how you truly care about people. That you do everything in your power to protect them. Even if it means risking your life and image for the sake of strangers, you’ll willingly go head first. You are a good man, Sigurd. Just…be more careful. I’ll try my best to look at situations from your perspective, and protect people as I am able.
Sigurd: Thank you. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in this matter. I will try to be more aware in regards to my own actions.
Summoner: Good. Oh, Ethlyn told me I should ask you about the “magic flag” incident?
Sigurd: She…of course she did… I should get back to training, Summoner. Good day.
Summoner: Hey! You can’t run away from me! I’ll get you to tell me!
A Support
Summoner: A-and you…really? Hanging upside d-down? I’m not laughing, I just…hahahaha!
Sigurd: I’ll admit I was a handful in my earlier years. I’m glad you find my humiliating story enjoyable.
Summoner: I-I…heh! I swear I’m not laughing at you! It’s just…ha!
Sigurd: Please try catching your breath before speaking. I don’t want to explain why you passed out from laughter.
Summoner: O-okay! It’s just you seem so serious! I never expected you to be such a troublemaker.
Sigurd: I was lazy and sloppy back then. I left a lot of my duties to Ethlyn. Eventually the world decided to knock sense into me. I’m glad Seliph is better than I was at his age.
Summoner: Well I think it’s refreshing to know you’re not perfect. I mean you’re very princely but you’re also just like everyone else. You make dumb mistakes and play dumb tricks. It’s all part of being a kid.
Sigurd: Perhaps you’re right. Tell me, did you get into trouble?
Summoner: Well I do have a few stories I can tell you, but they might be a little boring compared to yours.
Sigurd: I would like to hear them if you don’t mind. You’re an enigma to me sometimes.
Summoner: Me? Mysterious? You’re joking.
Sigurd: It’s true. I only know that you are from another world like me. I would like to know more about you.
Summoner: I guess I can tell a few stories. Let’s see…
S Support
Sigurd: Are you alright!
Summoner: I’m fine, Sigurd. Please calm down. You don’t need to keep asking every five seconds. I can move my arm. See!
Sigurd: You nearly got beheaded! How can I be calm when you almost died? It is my job to protect you, and yet I failed.
Summoner: Stop beating yourself up. I’m as much to blame. I should’ve been paying closer attention to my surroundings. But everything turned out well, no one else was hurt.
Sigurd: You should be more worried for your own safety! Did you not tell me that a while ago? I cannot lose you!
Summoner: What has gotten into you? You’re panicking over a small mistake. Just breathe with me for a second. Here give me your hands; they’re shaking.
Sigurd: …
Summoner: Better?
Sigurd: ...yes. I’m sorry for that.
Summoner: It’s okay. You were just worried. I’m safe. You're safe. This mission was a success. Everything is fine.
Sigurd: You must understand, I have lost many people I love. Despite coming to Askr, their deaths are still real and permanent in my world. I cannot bear the thought of losing you too.
Summoner: I…you love me?
Sigurd: Yes. Does that surprise you? The time we've been spending together, I’ve been falling in love with you more and more. You are a remarkable, kind, and strong person. You’re a bright light in my life. I would use every ounce of my strength to protect you from harm.
Summoner: Sigurd, I-
Sigurd: Please, do not think you’re obligated to return my feelings. I am content with protecting you.
Summoner: I’m not content with that.
Sigurd: Pardon?
Summoner: I can’t be content with you protecting me. Instead I want us to watch out for each other. After all, I can’t let my love do all the work.
Sigurd: You mean you?
Summoner: Yes! So are you going to kiss me now?
Sigurd: Gladly.

Things Happen For a Reason... Unless You Write For Voltron
There are tons of continuity errors and full on missing character arcs. So many, in fact, that I wonder if they didn't know how many seasons they were cleared for or how much time they had.
Has Lance Always Been Like That?
The Lance I met was a relatable character. Erratic, rash, defensive, but also empathetic, loyal and infectiously optimistic. Still, he's... The dumb one. That's his main title, the running joke, the flatness of his character.
Tumblr media
So where did this suave, sweater wearing, humble nerd come from? He uses words that indicate a college reading level. He is capable of expressing his thoughts and emotions with beautiful fluency. It doesn't feel right.
Tumblr media
This is a massive change from his fairly well developed character arc of him finding a place in the team, growing as a sharp shooter, being uplifting and learning selflessness. It also completely undermines his budding brotherhood with Keith to let him go have fun with Allura. Sure, we all like a well dressed Lance who uses big words and likes... Farming?
Tumblr media
Yeah, so nothing about Lance's love for piloting persisted past Voltron I guess. His extreme passion for being in a team, his clear ability to shoot and his love of flying and exploring must have diminished the second he touched Earth and transformed into a completely different and unrelated field of work. I understand that, I promise, but it doesn't seem like Lance, who spent years overcoming his intrinsic dumbness to be a pilot at the garrison. We see him struggle for this! He wanted it.
Tumblr media
He loved it.
And Speaking of Love
Guess what, this isn't going where you think it is!
Tumblr media
That's right! Friend love!
These guys are best friends. They hang out, they know each other, they spend excruciating amounts of time stuck with each other at the Garrison on ships. So why does that all nearly disintegrate come Voltron? Lance and Hunk almost never exchange memories of their time at the Garrison. Anyone who has moved knows how fast those memories of their old life flow. And Pidge completely isolates herself. If you didn't know it you would never guess the three had been a lovely little friend group.
No wonder Lance had such a crisis when Keith showed him up as a pilot. Hunk and Pidge are immediately emotionally distant, his hero Shiro thinks he's a dumbass and he has to live on a crazy space castle with the usually angry and creepy closeted emo kid (adored by Shiro, who don't forget is Lance's #1 role model) who is somehow also clearly better than him.
Tumblr media
Their friendship has been reduced to filler episodes.
Was That Shiro Cowering in a Corner or am I Imagining Things?
Tumblr media
Nope. There it is.
Wow. Well. If I'm not mistaken this man has a rocket arm that delivers swift and capable punches. Now, that is clearly not as important to the show as his arm wrestling capability but if the writers wanted Shiro to have true, consistent and well written PTSD I would have accepted that as an explanation for his sudden inability to fight. But seeing as Shiro's nothing but traumatizing past (torture, losing his arm, being made to fight for his life in a space Colosseum while grappling with the existence of fully developed alien life that is trying to end earth, losing Sam and Matt, being trapped in a Lion, suffering the loss of Adam) has had almost no effect on his life past serving to provide minor exposition or to give Keith a chance to do something.
To further this point, here is a list of every time Shiro (not Kuron) got into a fight before and after Keith became black paladin. Here, a fight is if Shiro was outside of Voltron and engaged in any hand to hand combat or was injured by a malevolent being that was targeting him.
Ep 3 S1
Ep 4 S1
Ep 8 S1
Ep 9 S1
Ep 12 S1
Ep 13 S1
Ep 1 S2
Ep 3 S2 (in flashbacks)
Ep 4 S2
Ep 6 S2
Ep 7 S2 (in the astral plane)
Ep 10 S2
Now let's skip ahead.... 4 seasons... Oh man
Ep 12 S7
that's it
Ah. Hm. I think the data speaks for itself, don't you?
So what in the world happened to Shiro, gladiator and protectorate who would die for his team? When the enemy infiltrates his ship and attacks his friends, he is transformed into an inexplicably incapable soldier.
Tumblr media
Shiro Actually Married "Adam", if You're Hard of Hearing
Have you happen to have heard the video guide for the ending of the last episode?
I'm a little skeptical of the source so let me know if this is incorrect. If it's real audio then I'm just disappointed.
Full Metal Paladin, Brotherhood
Sorry for forcing the title but it's the best thing that came to mind.
Tumblr media
Keith and Shiro are close. Since they met, Shiro has been gently guiding Keith to his best path. Their bond is undeniable.
Out of all of the paladins, Keith should understand Shiro the best. So why in the world does Keith never bother to check in with Shiro? Strange migraines, not feeling like himself, making unnatural decisions? I doubt that anyone would see this as a warning sign for "clone," but anyone who has claimed a close friendship with someone will be concerned when they begin acting erratically. When Shiro mentions how terrible he's feeling-
Tumblr media
(here is where I used up my image allowance so just imagine what I put in brackets)
He gets no response, and even Keith ignores his joyous outburst of "I feel so much better!". There's an appropriate "friend" response to that that Shiro does not receive from anyone. Keith, above all other paladins, is likely to know just how much Adam meant to Shiro, but Keith doesn't supply a shoulder to lean on at any moment. The writers want us to know that Keith loves Shiro. In what exact way I care not to delve into, though I would personally argue in a brotherly way. So why does Keith let Shiro's heart waste away like this?
[Shiro being sad which happens a lot actually]
Me too, Shiro. Me too.
The Allura of Power is Too Great
Why did the white lion choose Allura if not because of her intrinsic incorruptible self? And what changed in her heart or the story to make her seek dark power? She got infected with S1 Lance disease I suppose, because all of a sudden she's being dangerous and thoughtless.
[Allura opening up the stupid case and letting that thing out]
In s8, the situation is pretty dire. But it was dire before. She already learned not to trust Lotor, but then you know, he shows up and looks like Lance a little bit and that's enough for her to open up her arms and give dark alchemy a great big hug.
The white lion chose her over Lotor because she was bright and accepted her fate for the future of everything she held dear. What became of her, and why did we only see this change truly take form with less than an hour of the entire series left?
[White Lion jumping around with Allura]
Thanks for Making it Through This Post
There are hundreds of other things that I could mention, and feel free to add on to this with your own opinions! I know this isn't exactly plot continuity but characterization continuity. I hope that is okay! If you want me to focus more on plot next time, let me know 😊

Conversation
Not even a chuckle, Heine-sensei?
(Story originally submitted by an anonymous user)
**The tale you are about to hear is of four princes and a strong king...attempting to make a small professor chuckle? It's more interesting than that, I promise!!
Anyway, it all began with the usually stoic professor doing his duties around the palace. Nothing was amiss, today was another normal, boring day in Granzreich. Or at least those were the thoughts going through the professor's mind at the time.
He was now wandering down the never-ending halls of the palace, passing by Viktor's office**
Viktor: Ah, excuse me, Heine! Come here just a moment, I have something to share with you. If you aren't too busy, that is.
Heine: *stops in place and turns head around, with the usual blank stare* Ah--? I do have time. *Viktor's face gleams, he opens the door to his office further and steps aside*
What is it you have to tell me, your highness?
Viktor: It is nothing too important. I would like you to see this. *he walks over to a nearby wooden desk and fetches a photograph to show Heine*
Heine: Hmm? What is this?
Viktor: Don't you recognise yourself? It is not like you have changed all too much since then. This is the first photograph we took together, it was to show our friendship! How could you forget such an occasion?
Heine: Ah--memories are indeed flooding back.
Viktor: Even back then, you had that same look. I haven't seen you look any different. You've always had an aura of seriousness surrounding you. Haven't you ever considered relaxing, even if it is only for a few minutes? You do have free time, you know. I'm not sure what you used it up for in those days, but you even dedicate those free minutes nowadays to work.
Heine: -If I may interrupt, your highness. I cannot change how I am, in fact, nobody truly can. We have all been gifted with a unique personality that we must carry until the end. Changing that personality would be a very tedious thing to attempt.
Viktor: *nodding in agreement* I do suppose you're right. You are the very definition of serious. *chuckles* Just wondering, but..have you ever found yourself smiling uncontrollably? You can't have been serious day-in and day-out, that would be rather saddening.
Heine: I have not. Smiling is something I do not get around to doing very often. I apologise if I have saddened you.
Viktor: *wiping tears from chibi face* No, no, it's alright~....
(How could anyone live a life without smiling? I-It breaks me heart! It breaks my heart how I have known a man for so many years and have not once seen him smile, or questioned why that his frown never turns upside down!!--That's it! Heine Wittgenstein must know the true joys of life, I (with my sons) will all work together to make this man smile. Even if it kills us.
Operation Happy-Heine is a go-go!)
*later that day in Viktor's office*
Licht: You..want us to make him smile? We've never even seen him crack a joke, or laugh for that matter! How are we supposed to make such a frowny guy smile?
Bruno: Do not complain, Licht. These are orders from our father, and the king of Granzreich. We cannot decline, no matter what. Father, I give my word that by the end of the day, Professor Heine Wittgenstein will be beaming with joy.
Viktor: That's good to hear, Bruno. Confidence is always something to be admired. Now, you four. Get out there and make that man experience the greatest joy!
Leonhard: 'Kayy!
Kai: Mmnn..
Bruno: Yes, Father!
Licht: If I have to..
*the plan has officially been put into actio--hey, wasn't King Viktor also supposed to help?!*
Heine: *stacking important worksheets for the days to come* Hmm-? *the door is open and the little teacher was certain he had seen something, a ghost perhaps? In chibi form, he peeks around the corner, staring down both ends of the long hallway* Peeeeeeek....(hm, just my imagination)
*he waddles his way back into the room, the door opposite creaks open and four heads peep out*
Leonhard: *wheeze, gasp, breathe* S-So intense! I thought we were goners....(my whole life flashed before my eyes!)
Kai: ..Mmm...we were..nearly caught...
Bruno & Licht: Yes but..why are we sneaking around?
Bruno: It is almost as if we are committing an unforgivable crime, we will only seem more suspicious this way! Master will suspect nothing if we were to just approach him, we have done it before. I'm going in.
Leonhard: Nooooo! Don't risk it, Bruno! (H-He will be missed..)
Heine: Ah, Prince Bruno. Good evening. How are your spatial studies coming along?
Bruno: They are coming along just fine. Actually, I recently discovered the theorised existence of a planet made completely out of cheese! Isn't that funny?
Heine: That is indeed peculiar. I doubt such a thing exists. Just what textbooks are you reading from?
(Other princes: Not even a chuckle!)
Bruno: A-ah..that is all, thank you for your time. *bows and quickly returns* I-I was sure that would crack his shell. I smiled when I discovered such texts, how could he not be phased?
Licht: It's Bruni humour. The rest of us don't 'get it'. My turn, I have the perfect strategy that'll leave him begging for me to stop. My famous stand-up comedy!
(Others: Famous? I've never heard of it.)
Licht: Heyyyyyyaaaa, teach~! What're you doing?
Heine: Nothing of interest. If I may ask, what are you doing?
Licht: Nothing of interest, too! We share so much in common, hahahahaha!
Heine: (we share nothing in common, Prince Licht.) I see. Is there something you would like my help with?
Licht: Oh yeah, I remember why I came here! Could you listen to a few jokes I made up? I'm sure you'll love them!
Heine: Jokes? I am sorry, I do not have the time. Your brothers will enjoy them much more than I would, anyway. I am sorry.
Licht: O-Oh..that's alright. There's always a next time..(rejected!!)
*Kai's turn*
Kai: P..professor..! Look..here...*shows pictures of the many cute animals encountered during time spent outside*
(Licht: Y'see, Kainie isn't going for the usual approach. He's trying to make teach crack a smile by showing him a bunch of cute stuff.)
Kai: ..Look..at all of the animals I met...
doggies...look..!
Heine: They are rather cute, do you not think? You are wonderful with animals, Prince Kai. (*chibi petting* Good boy.)
Kai: *walks back to Prince HQ with a smile*..Professor..complimented me..
Licht: That wasn't the objective! Hmph, looks like you failed anyway. We're done for, there's no way we can do this! He's always gonna be..
(*mental image of a giant chibi Heine face* "Goodness me.")
argh!! What do we need to do in order to make him laugh?!
Bruno: No! There is still hope, Leonhard hasn't had his go yet! We can still accomplish our task, we cannot give up just yet!
Heine: *pokes head into room* You have much explaining to do. Prince Leonhard has told me everything.
Licht: Leonie! How could you?! We've been betrayed!
Bruno: Leonhard was siding with Master all along!
Leonhard: I'm sorry...he pressured me..
*the four princes are all lined up in front of Heine*
Heine: His Highness himself constructed this plan? I am shocked. This much more seemed like the independent doing of his sons, I did not expect himself to be directly involved.
Licht: Y-Yeah..we kinda didn't wanna disappoint him by turning down his plan, so we went with it. We're sorry, teach.
Kai: ..Sorry..
Bruno: I apologise for causing you grief, Master.
Leonhard: Sorry Heine..and I'm sorry to my brothers for telling.
Heine: *stares at the floor and a small grin is seen* ..
*the princes look up in awe, they had finally completed what they had spent this day on. Heine....Heine had smiled! His expression changed! For one split second, he had a smile across his face!
Bruno: Master..
Licht: That..was a smile just now!
Heine: *lifts head* Hm? Whatever do you mean?
Licht: I--I saw that! We all saw that smirk, don't deny it!
Heine: Prince Licht, you are speaking nonsense. I am failing to understand you.
(Licht: No, that was a smile! Argh!! Stop lying!!)
**END**
Mun: Special thanks to the anon who suggested this story. I had an absolute blast writing it! As always, I hope you have a blast reading! Have a nice day, everyone!
