#and I only did 4 ocs rip….
Note
Eggplant for all OCs please!
Someday, tumblr might actually gain the ability to notify me when I have an ask.*biting angrily at my screen*
Anyway, Eggplant is “how are they used by others and how easily are they tricked into that?” Changing the question slightly based on the direction my thoughts went got me: “What is their Purpose where other people are concerned, in actuality, in their own minds, or both? And how do they feel about that?” I tried to do this for everybody but some of them refused to articulate their answer, so if there’s someone specific you wanted to see who’s not listed, please specify and I will go back to shouting OPEN UP at them.
Without further ado…
Aris: Her Purpose is her Brains. People want her for her smarts. Her ability to think up solutions to the problem of the day, build the latest and greatest technical solution, run diagnostics, remember and recite all relevant intel. This is true, to some extent, but in Aris’ own mind, that’s all she brings to the table. It’s formidable, to be sure, but leaves one lacking a lot of other things when seeking connections/relationships. She might be a little sad about this…if she hadn’t reached this conclusion just before the age of ten. She’s resigned; this is simply the Way Things Are.
J: She has something of a two-fold Purpose, depending on whose perspective we’re working from. The primary Purpose she was taught relates back to her position in the family royal line: she is nothing more and nothing less than a Vessel for whatever her people want her to be, trusting that she will do whatever is necessary to secure their best interests. Don’t look too closely at this, it’s load-bearing. The Purpose with which J is actually most comfortable/ where she sees herself as able to both do good and perform well is as a Social Connector! If life is all about who you know, well, J knows everybody (who’s who on any political or social scene, names and dates and contacts and how they all link back to each other eventually. All the better to be directed towards important causes and get things done!) If there’s two people who really need to get in touch to further their good work? J’s there as their middleman to arrange a meeting and smooth all the introductions into place.
Rissa: She can be a lot of things, depending on whose “hands she is in” at any given time. That is to say, Rissa tends to orient herself and her Purpose to an external force (a cause, an ideal, a place, another person) and then becomes a fine-tuned instrument towards ensuring the fulfillment of whatever the goal may be. In cases with another person, she will become (or try very very hard to become) their right hand, their rock, their most reliable load-bearing wall, their fixer, and their enforcer for whatever needs doing. You can see where she can lose her way if the hand guiding her isn’t careful and doesn’t actually have her best interests in mind, but those who do care for her know that Rissa absolutely thrives when she feels useful and needed and find ways to satisfy that need with her customary Acts of Service and Loyalty. If asked to define an independent Purpose, she would probably say something along the lines of bringing Justice, Karma, Balancing the Scales, etc. This aligns closely with both her spiritual practice (devoted follower of the god of such concepts) and helps her to deal with any misgivings she has about being viewed as the one who will put morals to the side and get the dirty work done when required (ends justify the means.)
Tavi: Like Rissa, Tavi is very externally-focused in her Purpose; hers revolving around the people most important to her. Her Purpose is, in short, to be the Protector of her loved ones. Sometimes, this means being a physical “tank” in a fight (a position in which she is by no means uncomfortable.) Sometimes it means using her wings to fly someone away from trouble as quickly as possible. Sometimes it means shouting down harsh words and reminding her person just how wonderful they are and just how highly she regards them. Sometimes, it means being the clown just to put a smile on their face (who cares if it’s at her own expense? Right?) The problem with this becomes any situation in which Tavi cannot Protect…she kind of stalls out and loses momentum. She doesn’t know what to do, and will lash out if pushed too hard.

*~Period Drama~*
Tumblr media
A/N: This was a funny idea I had and Now I'm gonna do another series with my Yuu OC. Note that I write most of the cast in a platonic sense with my OC because that's how their story formed. I'm fully open to doing requests with characters in a romantic sense. Word Count: 4.7K Warnings: Period mentions, allusions to sexual assault (They are assumed, nothing actually happens), She/They OC Pronouns Pairings: Azul/Reader (Poly), Jamil/Reader (Poly) Enjoy! Start (Here), Part 2 (Octavinelle), Part 3 (Heartslabyul), Part 4 (Savanaclaw), Part 4.5 (Diasomnia pt.1), Part 5 (Diasomnia pt2)
Tumblr media
Yuu was forgetting something, she knew she was. But sitting in her pjs on a Saturday morning, an over-filled bowl of sugary cereal in hand, she couldn't be bothered to really care.
It was shaping up to be a good day too. None of the staff needed her help with anything, her friends all had their club meetings, and the kitchen was stocked with easy-to-grab snacks for Grim. the cat monster himself had even started his homework on Friday night with minimal fighting. Literally, nothing could be wrong, but she still felt uneasy. They woke up feeling weary and oddly bloated.
With an inquisitive expression, she taps her spoon against her bowl. They really hoped they weren't going to spend all day in a strange sense of deja vu…
Then she sneezed and everything made sense. Yuu blinks, moving back to pull the seam of their pj pants, looking down as they groan, "Ah, shit…"
Tumblr media
Azul loved Saturdays, they were his biggest money-maker days. Students came to the Mostro Lounge either to get a head start on homework, grab a drink after practice or clubs, or merely have a freshly cooked meal. It also was the day he had most of his workforce available so he could spare the time to walk around campus or catch up on his own paperwork.
But, what he's trying to do was gather his courage and think up a plausible enough reason for him to go visit his date-mate. Not that he usually needed one, they were very vocal about how he was always a welcomed presence in their company.
But, Yuu had been…easily irked? Prickly? Upset. Yuu had been upset for most of the week but anyone who questioned their mood was quickly shot down. The prefect would then tensely state they weren’t mad and then questioned why people thought they were mad. Sure they had a very intense resting bitch face but who didn't at Night Raven? (He's fairly certain you needed to either be handsome or have the most terrifying resting bitch face to be admitted to this school).
So he wasn't too pressed about his date-mate's mood until Floyd said something. He had come into the back office pouting of all things, saying 'Shrimpy smelled off'. They had also punched him when the eel merman attempted to pick them up, which wasn't normal.
Jade handled his twin, trying to cull Floyd’s decreasing mood, while Azul opened a few text chats to ask if anyone had caused Yuu reason to want to kill someone. The genuine confusion and concern that answered back only made him more uneasy.
Now, on a sunny Saturday, Azul made the long journey toward Ramshackle. With an obscure board game tucked under his arm and a bag of exclusive gummy candy in hand, he was on a mission to improve his dear pearl’s mood.
Or he was until he was suddenly being dragged down the dirt road in a different direction. He yelped and shouted, trying to angle himself to see what was pulling him through the mud and sticks. The answer was Sam’s shadows, the black willowy wisps quickly yanking him into the shop and setting him on his feet. Azul looks down at his outfit, scowling at seeing the dirt and grass stains. Sevens, did he rip his slacks?
“Lil fish.”
Azul jolts, eyes wide and semi-fearful at Sam’s echoing tone. The man stood behind the counter, a number of medical supplies laying across the surface as his nails gripped at the wood. Sam’s eyes were wide, pupils pinprick as his amethyst orbs almost glowed under all the shadows. Speaking of shadows…Azul looks around the shop, feeling actual fear stir in him. The shadows were everywhere, zipping through the aisles, slithering in and out of the back room, and some were even racing out of the shop, “Uh…Yes, Sam? H-how can I be of assistance?” He didn’t stutter, he refuses to admit he stuttered.
“Do you know what a pad is?”
“Like…Like a notepad or-”
“NO!” Sam slams his fist onto the counter, the lights of the near-endless shop flickering wildly at the force of it. He rests his face in his hands, paying no mind to his makeup and hat that fell to the counter. Looking up, his intense stare was replaced with one of desperation, “You’re killing me here, kid. Look, if you know what a damn pad is, just tell me where to get one! I know you and the lil pup talk!”
“I swear, I have no clue what you’re talking about, sir.” Sevens, had Azul ever felt scared of Sam? He didn’t like this, why was his fellow businessman so frazzled? What kind of pad was he talking about? Why couldn’t he find it and assumed Azul would know where and what the damn thing was?
Sam groans, hands running furiously through purple-tinted lock braids. With a snap of his fingers, the wisps all stop. Either quickly entering the shop or bleeding into the shadows to hide once more, “Look just…Go see the prefect. They called me asking for sanitation pads? That’s the business name they told me anyway…That and just…a lot of pain potions.”
Azul clicked out of his confusion, growing nervous at the potions request, “I…wait are they hurt? Shouldn’t they be in the infirmary?”
“I suggested that, but they insisted they didn’t need to go, just the potions. I’m sending them over soon, Crewel is due to deliver my order in an hour or two. I’ll send him over after ya once he gets here.” Sam grumbles under his breath as Azul rushes out of the store. ‘Primadonna dog hates when I call him while he’s brewing…’
Azul pulls his phone from his pocket, sending a text to both Jade and Floyd. Yuu was in pain, they had requested something called a ‘sanitation pad’? Whatever those were. By the name he could only guess they were used for cleaning of some kind. He sent the twins a message to meet him at Ramshackle ASAP, potentially 119 status. Yuu had always joked about the Octavinelle trio being the first ones they’d call if they needed to hide a body. But, it seemed when it came time for them to actually make the call, the poor thing must have been overwhelmed. He could only think they had done it in self-defense, but the cause didn’t matter. There wasn’t going to be a body in a few hours.
Halfway through the woods to Ramshackle, he hears other footsteps hurrying to catch him. Looking over his shoulder, he raises an eyebrow at the extra amount of people, “Why are they here?”
Ace, Deuce, and Jamil all kept a quick jog behind Floyd and Jade’s long-legged walk. Floyd rolled his eyes, pointing behind him with his thumb, “I was at practice. Crabby and Sea Snake saw the text and wanna help lil Shrimpy too…”
Deuce raises a hand, "I saw them leaving the gym on my way to track practice. Yuu's my classmate and friend, it's only right I help them."
Jamil hisses under his breath, side-eyeing Azul as he sped up to walk beside him, “Plus, they’re my date-mate too, asshole…”
Rolling his eyes, Azul sighed, waving Jamil’s attitude off, “Yes, yes. We can meet with Draconia later about our timeshare lover's crimes. But for now, we need to go and assist them with the dead body I’m sure is on their property.”
Ace sighs, relaxing more as he leans back, arms folding behind his head, “Yuu finally did it, huh?”
“I mean…They can only threaten to murder someone so many times before they’d snap…” Deuce pipes up, rubbing the back of his head, almost dreading getting blood on his uniform again.
Floyd giggled, “I can’t wait to see who Shrimpy squeezed~. I bet they made it real messy!”
“Hmm…I wouldn’t put it past Yuu to kill someone via strangulation. But their MO seems to lean more toward bludgeoning.” Jade smiles to the group, eyes closing in barely hidden glee, “If anything clean up will at least be interesting if we’re just dealing with some blood splatter and a puddle!”
 Ace and Deuce wince, watching Floyd, Azul, and Jamil simply nod at Jade’s examination.
The mood was instantly broken once they came into view of Ramshakle. Floyd and Jade tensed, their smiles dropping off their faces before racing toward the dorm as two teal-colored blurs. Azul shouted, only to choke on his tongue at the smell. Blood. His nose wasn’t anywhere as sensitive as Floyd's or Jade’s but even at this distance, he could smell the sharp iron smell. He jogged to catch up with his dormmates, his expression of panic causing the other three to speed up as well.
All he could smell was Yuu’s blood. Sharp and salty, but spiced and sweet because of their diet. A hint of some type of alien fragrance that no one could place and Yuu couldn’t name mixing it all together perfectly. And that was all he was smelling, not even a hint of another person’s blood.
When the rest of the group had made it to the front porch, Floyd was pounding on the door, eyebrows creased while Jade searched the bushes for the hidden key, “Shrimpy! Open up! Shrimpy!”
Jade’s fingers had just grazed the false rock when the door’s locks clicked open. Floyd swung the door so hard it nearly sent Grim into the hallway wall. The feline monster kept to the ground, eyes wide and teary with fear, “Yuu’s bleeding all over everything and they won’t tell me why!”
Deuce was the only one who had the mindset to scoop Grim into his arms, the rest of them instantly rushing up the stairs toward Yuu’s bedroom. The sound of their footsteps pounding on the floor echoing in the house, each of them calling out in panicked voices. Azul could only grow increasingly worried, the scent of blood growing stronger and stronger.
Jade slams the door open, Ace instantly diving into the bed and startling Yuu awake.
“The-The fuck- hello?”
Ace cupped their face, using what medical lessons Riddle had drilled into his head to see if they had a visible injury, “Yuu! Can you hear me? We were calling you all the way downstairs- Ay!” He tumbles off the bed when Yuu shoves him aside, dark eyes glaring down at the redhead.
“Yeah, I was sleeping. Why are all of you in my house?”
“We smelled blood shrimpy!” Floyd kneeled onto the bed, sniffing around trying to find the main source of blood. Ignoring or nipping at Yuu’s hands trying to shove his face away from her body.
Azul stepped forward, eyes roaming in barely concealed haste, “Sam sent me over. He was worried by a request you had called him about? It’s sent him positively spiraling.”
Yuu raises an eyebrow, having given up on getting Floyd off their bed and wrapping an arm around him instead, “Yeah I was about to ask. Octobaby, what truck did you get dragged behind and did you at least get the license plate?”
Whatever positive flow of atmosphere that was building ended, Floyd grasping the duvet covering them and pulling, “Shrimpy, where are you bleeding-”
A single tug was all it took for Yuu’s bottom half to be flashed. They all look in stunned silence. Fresh red blood on a series of towels under them, a smear on the inside of their bare legs. Yuu shouts but none of them respond, minds spiraling at what could have possibly happened.
“Floyd! By the Seven, I’m not wearing any pants!” Yuu snatches the blanket back, draping it over their legs with a huff. They turn to Floyd only to have their face gripped harshly. Floyd stared at them with a dead expression, his single golden eye almost glowing with the force of his anger, “Floyd?”
“Who?”
“Wha-”
“Who?”
“Floyd.” Jade’s hands come into view, pulling Floyd’s grip off of their face and his brother off the bed. Jade was no better, a pleasant smile on his face but eyes wide and void of any emotion, “It’ll do no good to pressure them into telling us. Let us let our two professionals deal with this. The two of us can brainstorm methods of...disposing of the unsavory culprit once we have a name or description.”
Yuu watched them slowly leave the room. Floyd just barely letting Jade pull him along as his expression started to finally morph into a look of anger. His fists clenched as he gritted his teeth, body so tense his movements were more shaky than his normal loose glide.
Looking beside them, Yuu catches eyes with Ace and Deuce. Ace quickly turned away, a hand covering his mouth as a single tear slid down his cheek and his shoulders shook. Deuce was no better, gripping Grim in his arms as he hiccuped softly with just barely contained sobs. He looked like he was fighting back the urge to go into 'delinquent mode'.
Jamil finally moves, a hand on each of Ace's and Deuce's shoulders, guiding them to the door. Softly pushing them out too once Jade had managed to pull Floyd out of the room, “Let us talk to them…We’ll…we’re gonna figure this out…”
Yuu watches stunned as Azul walks toward them as though he was approaching a wounded animal; softly, with just a hint of fear and pity, “Azul…What’s-?”
“It’s ok.” Jamil closed the door, still facing it so Yuu wasn’t sure if he was saying it to them or mumbling to himself, “It's…It’s ok, you’re gonna be fine…”
Azul had finally reached them and they could clearly see the unshed tears in his eyes, “It’s not your fault. This is not your fault, do you hear me?” He ran his fingers through their hair, his other hand gently cupping against her cheek as his thumb shakingly caressed their skin. He opens his mouth, closing his eyes while he sighs a shuddering sob. Gathering his wits again he opens his eyes, a fiery determination glowing in them, “We’re here for you, my pearl.”
“Wha…?” Yuu could only wrap their arms around Azul, the merman diving to embrace her in what had to be the most protective hold he could do with just his two arms. It felt safe and sturdy, like a cool blanket was wrapped around their body. While it was welcomed, Yuu only grew more confused feeling a wet spot start to form on their shoulder where Azul’s face had snuggled into, “I’m…very confused…”
“Yuu.”
If Azul wasn’t holding them, they would have jumped off the bed. Jamil stood right next to them with a blank expression. His face pulled into a mask of neutrality, but his eyes were steely, an ice-cold fire in them waiting to find a victim.
“Who. You can tell me, you can trust me. We’ll handle everything, you won't even have to look at the bastard unless you want to beat him to death yourself.” He kneels on the bed, his hand moving to touch her covered thigh before retreating, a pinched expression breaking his mask before it was back in place, “You have to tell us who did this to you, hayati.”
Did what to them?
Yuu stared at Jamil, blinking when he finally had to look away to bite his lip. He looked to be holding back tears, fully turning around to put his face in his hands to mutter under his breath. ‘How could he let this happen? Why couldn’t he have just one thing with nothing to ruin it?’ a teary sob of ‘Do they not trust him?’
“My pearl?” Azul pulls his face away from their shoulder, sniffling before he removes his glasses briefly to wipe his tears, “Do you…Would you like me to draw you a bath? This can’t be comfortable-”
“Azul!” Jamil whipped around, glaring at the merman, sparing them a worried glance before turning back to Azul and whispering heatedly, “They can’t take a bath until they get checked, you moron!”
“What’s there to check Jamil!? We can all clearly see what happened! Why put them through the extra…extra poking and defilement when we know what happened!?”
“Because we need evidence!”
“What we need is a name! Or a description! I’m not even going to entertain the idea of bringing this to a court. We have plenty of manpower on campus to bury whoever did this 12 times over.”
“Excuse me, what the fuck are you guys talking about?” Yuu spoke up, eyes glancing between the two of them, “Because if you mean the bleeding, that’s pretty standard at this point.” Maybe they just…forgot they had a vagina? Boys normally didn’t react well to period talk in the first place, but this was an all-boy school and Yuu was more non-gendered than female-gendered. Maybe they just honestly forgot.
But, what they said had only made things worse, both Azul and Jamil looking at them in absolute horror. Standard. This was normal. This had happened multiple times already.
Azul starts to openly sob, wrapping himself around them in a way to keep everything else away, nuzzling his head into her neck and whimpering out apologies. Jamil covered his mouth, a look that Yuu could only call devastation on his face before he stood from the bed to pace the room. Mutters grew in volume and speed before Yuu finally realized what they thought had happened.
“Oh. OH!” They quickly pull Azul from their neck, hands pressed to both his cheeks to keep him looking into their eyes, “Sevens! Guys no! That isn’t what this is, I promise! No one hurt me like that!”
“You expect us to believe that!?” Jamil turns on them, eyes wild and red with held-back tears. He gestures to the bed, alluding to the mess of blood under the covers, “What else could this possibly be!? Why are you trying to defend them!?”
“Jamil, I’m on my period!” Yuu looked back at Azul once her words seemed to hit Jamil, “It’s just my period. No one hurt me. I’m…well, not fine. Periods are a bitch. But not that…I swear it wasn’t that.”
No one made a sound past Azul’s labored breathing, the merman’s expression slowly morphing from one of despair into confusion. Once his breathing was finally under control, he pulled Yuu’s hands from his face, a single brow raised, “Your…your period?”
“Yeah…It’s just my period.”
Jamil pulls a face, eyes looking down as his brain worked to understand what Yuu was saying, “...Like the punctuation?”
Yuu frowned, turning to Jamil, “Don’t you act fucking dumb with me.” They press a kiss to Azul’s forehead, letting him slump against their chest, not seeing the gears turning in his head, “You and your sister are basically the same petty soul shared between two bodies. You know what a period is Jamil.”
The two mages catch eyes across the room, both…so painfully confused. Azul takes his time to finally untangle from Yuu, giving a small smile and patting hesitantly at the blanket, “O-okay…A period…right?”
At Yuu’s annoyed nod, Jamil sniffs, checking that he hadn’t cried before looking over to the door, “And…Najma will know. You’re sure she will?”
“I mean basically every girl gets a period so I would think so Jamil…”
The two boys share another look, communicating in a way Yuu hadn’t learned to do with them yet before they turn back to them with those soft, weak smiles. Azul caresses their face again, saying they should go back to sleep and that someone will bring up something to eat later on. It was slow, they clearly didn’t want to leave, but they both closed the door behind them. They share another look in the hallway, nodding before moving to regroup with the others.
The contained chaos they walk in on was almost comical if the reason wasn’t so mortifying. Jade had a hand gripped on each of Floyd’s shoulders while they took up the loveseat, whispering to the taller eel as he held him back. The whispers growing in intensity as his eyes widened in manic glee every time Floyd growled and moved to pull out of his brother’s hold. Ace was leaning against the wall, anger clear on his face as his nails bit into his forearms. He was the only one who looked up when they walked into the room. Deuce sat on the couch, curled around who they could only think was Grim, his shoulders shaking with barely contained cries.
Ace speaks up first, calling everyone else’s attention to their entry, “Well? Who’s the bastard we’re hunting down?”
Jamil and Azul pause, Jamil looking to the side and sighing, “They say nothing happened-”
“They’re lying!” Grim cries from Deuce’s arms. 
The spade Heartslabyul soldier sniffles, raising his head to look from over the couch, “Grim said they’ve been bleeding since this morning. From before he woke up…”
Jamil pulled out his phone, already dialing his sister, “They said Najma would know what’s going on…They were…so sure nothing…happened…”
Ace opened his mouth to yell only to be cut off at the sound of Najma picking up the line on speakerphone.
“Jamil? What’s wrong, you never call me?”
“...” Jamil gulped, gripping his phone before speaking, “Najma, I need you to be completely honest with me. Swear on your life levels of seriousness. Do you know what a period is?”
“...Like the punctuation?”
Azul bit his lip, a hand moving to cover his mouth and start to pace around the room. He walks closer to Jade and Floyd to explain, the two eels listening to his quick words in clear confusion.
“I…Najma, something happened. Is it…normal to…” He let out another sigh, almost wishing it would take his soul with it, “Is it normal to bleed…out of your vagina?”
The beat of silence almost gave Jamil hope. Maybe it was some super secret girl thing that no male was allowed to ever know about. Maybe everyone in the room would have to be killed once Najma confirmed its existence. He knows he would at least prefer that over the alternative.
“Jamil, what the fuck? No!? No, that's not normal!? Jamil who do you know that’s bleeding out of their-”
“Don’t have time, I’ll call you back once this is all settled.” He’s never hung a phone up so fast. It quickly rings again, but he just declines Najma’s call and silences his phone. Now looking around, everyone else in the room is just as confused if not more so than he and Azul were.
“...What?” Jade tilts his head to the same degree his brother does while they both study Jamil, each trying to find…something in the conversation they just heard.
Azul spoke up, leaning his elbow against the fireplace, a hand coming up to rub at his temple, “They said they were simply on their period and that this was normal. They were also very certain Najma would confirm this sentiment, claiming it was a natural thing girls did.”
Deuce sat in thought, his brain working overtime to try and piece together the information they had, “Maybe…Uh…Wait, I can ask my mom!”
“What is your mom gonna know, Deuce!?” Ace hissed, more frustrated than actually angry.
“I don’t know, she’s like...an older girl? Maybe she knows more about it than Najma would?”
“...” Jade looks toward Azul with a shrug, “It’s another source of information. We’re literally going in blind with this.” He looks down in worry, feeling Floyd relax in his arms. His brother wasn’t calm by any means, more so his mood had finally reached so low that his homicidal urges couldn’t properly latch onto it. He just kept Floyd in his arms, holding his taller brother under his arms as though he was a cat.
Deuce pulls out his phone with one hand, the other keeping a grip on Grim as the monster whines. It only took a very rings before the phone was answered again.
“Hi, Deuce! I was just about to send you a text. I found this new cafe and they make the cutest parfaits-”
“Mom, that’s cool. Send me a picture later but. Um…I got a really weird and private question to ask you-”
“Deuce, we talked about this sweetie. There’s nothing wrong with liking certain things-”
“NOT THAT, NOT THAT!” He blushes, quickly cupping his phone away from view of the others. He whispers his question into the receiver, waiting with bated breath when the other line was quiet.
“Sweetie. Am I on speaker?”
“Uh, yeah?”
“That isn’t…that isn’t something that should be happening. Is this…Deuce, is this about your friend Yuu?” At the affirmative, she continued, “I know you said they weren’t from around…anywhere really. But you boys need to tell your teachers about this. Whoever told them this was normal lied to them.”
The nervousness returns, everyone sharing a look, Deuce thanking his mom before hanging up the phone. Pass the stray sigh or muffled rambles no one spoke, each one of them was scared to voice their theories. Everything easily pointed toward…assault. But Yuu was such a level of certain that it was hard to deny the doubt that grew at the idea. There were magical ways of getting the truth out of people, they had Jade and Jamil, so it wouldn't be hard. But none of them wanted to break the trust Yuu had given to them. Not to mention the small chance that something did happen, and forcing Yuu to recount the horrible situation was cruel even by Night Raven standards if they were trying to actively suppress it. 
It seemed like they sat in silence for hours before they all heard the front door slam open, footsteps quickly stepping through the hall before a signature black and white coat filled the doorway. Crewel stood with one hand on his hip, the other impatiently tapping his crop against his leg.
“Ok, what’s going on? I’ve had students running around terrified from Sam’s shadows. I go to see Sam to ask about it and he informs me that he sent you runts to check on my puppy.” Crewel looks around the room, his frown turning into a scowl before he schools his expression again, “And there's no sign of my puppy in this pack of dogs, so what’s happened?”
After a prolonged silence, Ace groaned, deciding to bite the bullet since no one else wanted to, “Yuu’s bleeding from…from their vag and won't tell us why.”
“...” Crewel stepped to the side, light gray eyes seeming to look past all of them while he used his crop to point down the hall, “Get out.”
“Sensei-”
“Get. Out.”
The scramble they did out of the room was like a pack of dogs released into the wild, each of them refusing to meet the glacier-level stare of their teacher as they ran past. They didn’t leave Ramshackle property, choosing to instead stand outside and wait to be fully dismissed.
Crewel took the stairs two at a time, flinging Yuu’s bedroom door open. The sound of it slamming into the wall made Yuu groan in protest. He walks to the bed and sits, a hand instantly brushing their bangs back to alert them to his presence. He couldn't tell through his gloves, but they had seemed flushed, “Puppy? Puppy, talk to me. What's happening? I can’t help if I don’t know what’s wrong.”
Yuu hums, just barely getting back to sleep before Crewel woke them up again. A hand pressed to their lower stomach and grumbled, “Hmmmm….Period…” “...Pup. What’s a period, explain it to me.” He keeps his hand in their hair, petting in a way to soothe both of them if needed. Period, Yuu clearly wasn’t talking about punctuation. All his mind could reach then was that period was speaking of a state of time. Meaning this was something that happened on some type of schedule.
Groaning, Yuu sits up, letting her head rest against Crewel’s shoulder, “Period, monthly bleed and all that. It’s girl stuff, you know biology, Crewel…”
Taking her in his arms, Crewel rubs at their back. Monthly…It’s at times Crewel is made painfully aware of how lacking he and the rest of Night Raven College were in knowledge about Yuu’s biology. “Yuu…That’s not a thing in Twisted Wonderland.” He can feel the moment they tense up, letting them pull back to look at him.
Yuu stares at their pseudo-father, eyes searching for some sign of the past hour being nothing but a really bad joke. Seeing none, they feel a cold realization hit, “Oh…Well, this is gonna be a real interesting time…”

Your school always turned up and out for Halloween. 
You and your friends had been complaining about how trash the parties have been for months, but now the streets are littered with people dressed as bare as possible in the freezing cold. They were all shotgunning beers in the middle of the street, blasting trap music through their portable speakers, throwing up everywhere. 
And you were so excited! This was going to be fun. 
You never particularly liked going to frat parties: their houses were never clean, it was always boiling hot in the basement, and the cops almost always showed up to shut the entire place down (only for another party to blow up in the early hours in the morning, and they shut them down, too! Fuckers!). But after your first ever mind-numbing, toe-curling, drunken fuck with… her at the Alpha Sigma Phi house in September last year, you hardly ever stepped foot in clubs again. 
You two weren’t super close even though you fucked on and off, but you were friends with her housemate, Riley, so whenever she invited you over, you would discreetly watch Ellie silently making cereal—high out of her mind—in only her sports bra and gray sweats. You hadn’t seen her since the start of the semester, when she’d dropped off your wobbly, highly intoxicated roommate with after she’d snapped you a hey. ur roomie drank alooottt and is really fucked up rn imma drop her off leave the door unlocked pls lol. 
It was a mystery how they got past your building's security since your roommate could barely hold up her I.D. according to Ellie, but you didn’t press since she seemed in a rush to get back to the party she was at. She quickly laid your friend in her bed before throwing you a quick see ya! before fleeing out the door. You didn’t even have a chance to properly look at her before your own door slammed in your face. 
And now here you are, standing in the frat entry line freezing your ass off in your slutty, glittery angel costume with a cheap, but feathered halo atop your head. Your dress barely passed your thighs, and your white, lace-up heels were getting scuffed on the concrete. You didn’t even want to be an angel, but your friends forced you to match with them with their demands of Were gonna be Charlie’s Angels, bitch I’m not playing!, to which you’d argue, they weren’t actually angels, clown! But after three days of consistent glares and pleading from your googly-eyed group, you gave in. 
“Bro, I’m so fuckin’ excited. I need more shots, I need more shots! —“
“Can you shut the fuck up, you sound crazy,” your good friend, Cleo said to your… feening friend, Evelyn. A gust of Fall wind blew past all of you, and you shivered in unison. 
“It’s too fucking cold for this shit! If y’all would’ve let me down that Svedka bottle, I would be warm as fuck right now!” Evelyn pressed at both of you between chattering teeth. 
“Bitch, you almost peed in these people's kitchen sink the last time you did some stupid shit like that! In front of everyone!” Cleo scolded with a glare, and Evelyn scoffed before turning away to look at the moving line. Your friend then turned her attention to you. 
“You tryna see your girlfriend?” Cleo said to you with a smirk while she hit her dab, and you rolled your eyes so hard, they almost fell out. 
“She’s not my fuckin’ girlfriend, shut up,” you tried to say as convincingly as possible. They both snorted at your attempts, clearly in denial. 
Your friends always made it sound like you were in love with Ellie when she was brought up. You could admit to having a crush on her, sure, but you weren’t always craving her attention. You let her come and go as she pleased, and you did the same. 
Your thoughts were cut off by some drunk, obnoxious asshole screaming at the two of you to pull out your school I.Ds. You all did, and the door immediately pulled open, and you were hit in the face with the bass from the speakers. You all entered, hand in hand, and watched people dance in masks, people making out, people twerking on the counter. And you all were finally warm. 
You moved through the packed, LED lit house to where everyone was dancing, and you and your friends made a small circle in the middle of the crowded floor. Evelyn managed to snag an unopened bottle of Tito’s from the counter and you, and Cleo stared in shock as she downed three large gulps like it was water. You snatched the bottle from her before she could get any more down, only to take three large sips of your own, before turning to Cleo, ushering her to lean her head back so you could pour some in her mouth. 
You felt lighter. 
Tumblr media
Thirty minutes passed, and Cleo was throwing it back on you, and you were throwing it back on Evelyn as she clumsily thrusted her hips into your ass, bottle in hand. Your halo was tipping, you were sweating out your press, and your glittery liner was smudging, but you couldn’t give a fuck. 21 was on, and nothing else mattered. 
Until Evelyn stopped, pulling you up to her chest and sloppily whispered that she had to pee. You shook your head as you giggled, pulling a very high Cleo up to guide her to the bathroom by her iced-out wrist.
Tumblr media
The line for the bathroom was so fucking long. What the fuck. 
But you and your friends were finally next. Evelyn was leaning back against the wall as she squeezed her legs together, whining out quiet dontpeedontpeedontpee’s to herself with her eyes shut. You shook your head at her. 
However, you all immediately stiffened when you heard a desired squeal of fuck yes, like that! coming from the bathroom. That’s why y’all were standing here for so fucking long?! So somebody could get their nut?! 
Cleo shook her head with a I know you fuckin’ lying before banging her fist on the door. “Bro, hurry the fuck up! We don’t have time for this shit!”
“Hold the fuck on, damn!” and your back straightened at the voice, eyebrows furrowing. Ohh, shit oh fuck! —
And the door swung open, revealing a very flushed Ellie, lips glistening and eyes tinted pink with a black cloak on, Scream mask in hand. She even had fake blood smeared on her face. And a girl in a devil costume hopping off the counter, adjusting the horns on her head. 
You made eye contact with Ellie, and she froze, only to quirk her slit brow at you, slowly gazing at your attire from top to bottom before reconnecting your eyes. You shivered, and she smirked. 
The demon girl snatched Ellie’s wrist to lead her out of the bathroom as Evelyn rushed in, barely shutting the door behind her. You held Ellie’s searing contact as she trailed behind the girl, nodding her head in greeting as she brushed past you, leaving the hallway. You turned towards Cleo, who’d been barricading the door for Evelyn, shaking her head at you with a knowing grin. You let out a quiet fuck you as she busted out laughing. 
Tumblr media
Sometime in the night, you all scurried back to the dance for when First Day Out blasted through the speakers. You have zero recollection of what happened after you ran towards the packed dance floor(all your liquor body-slammed you at once!), but your tongue was shoved in Cleo’s mouth as she grinded on Evelyn, holding her by her thigh to pull her closer. She pulled away, licking your bottom lip as you both smiled before your hazy gaze traveled behind Evelyn, locking with the ones you were conflicted about seeing tonight. 
Ellie was smoking by herself, just watching you. You held her stare as you wrapped your arms around Cleo, drunkenly waving your hand to lure her over. She smirked around her blunt before shrugging, shaking her head no. You sent her a pout. 
“Ellie’s over there,” you bent down to talk in Cleo’s ear. 
She hummed in acknowledgment against your neck, “We’ll be alright. Go see her.” 
“You sure?” 
“Yeah, I got her,” She said in reference to a very drunk Evelyn screaming out YOU KNOW I BROUGHT MY KNIFE!
“Text me if anything happens, okay?” You demanded, and she nodded before encouragingly patting your ass. 
You unwrapped yourself from your friend, squeezing through the crowd until you reached a very… calm Ellie. She was leaning back with her head propped up against the wall, doing tricks with every exhale of smoke. You leaned up next to her, shoulder to shoulder. 
Neither of you said anything, but she held her blunt up to your face. You accepted, parting your lips to inhale the smoke as you watched the lit tip shine orange. You pulled away, leaving the remnants of your gloss behind, and breathed in before exhaling away from her. 
You watched as she pulled her phone out, slowly typing something out with one hand as she ripped from the blunt again. 
You felt your phone vibrate in your bra. 
You looked at her suspiciously before pulling it out, unlocking it to open the snap from Ellie.
e: cum upstairs? 
y: 😐
You turned to her and watched her smile before typing. You looked back down at your phone. 
e: lemme give u some imsorry head :(
y: 😐
e: pleek 
y: where
e: upstairs duh 
e: jesses gone 4 the weekend so ye
e: fuckin u in his room lol 
… Who the fuck is Jesse?
You didn’t get an opportunity to respond before you felt her grab your wrist, pulling you into the crowd. You couldn’t help but look up at her frame, loose strands of her ponytail falling out, her dangly earrings, her fucking shoulders, her neck moving every time she looked back to check on you. She looked so fucking good, fuck—
You felt a smack on your ass, and before you could turn to beat the fuck out of whoever it was, you caught your friends giggling at you. Cleo suddenly made her O-face as Evelyn pretended to hit it from the back before they started laughing at you again. You stared blankly at them. 
“Okay?” You heard Ellie say in your ear, lips brushing against yours. You only nodded before turning back to face her. 
You watched as she looked behind you before smiling and looking back down at you with a headshake. She turned and led you towards the staircase. 
She pulled open a door—Jesse’s, you guess— at the end of the hall. It was a bit messy, but you ignored it as she closed the door behind you. 
“Where’s Riley? I haven’t seen her at all,” you said as she looked at you. 
“Dunno.” She replied simply, ripping from her roach. 
“…You got bored quick,” You hoped she knew what you meant. 
“Mhm,” she said as she exhaled before stubbing it out on the dresser. 
And then silence. 
This is awkward. You hoped she would be ripping your halo off by now.  
“You look cute.” 
“You don’t,” you replied sharply. Fuck, yes she does, she always does. 
She snickered at you before kicking her chucks off, “That girl thought I did.” 
You’re going to strangle her. 
“Fuck you.” 
“You’re gonna,” she said as she stepped closer. 
“You’re a slut.” 
“I am,” Another step. She said with a slimy grin. “The dirtiest.” 
You hated how wet that made you. 
“Your friends are funny,” She said with another step, finally in your space as she spoke quietly. “And they’re hot.” 
“I know they are.” 
“Orgy?” She asked with a bright smile.
“Ellie, are we fucking or not? M’feet hurt,” you slurred out, rolling your eyes. 
“You look so good right now,” she said more to herself than to you, it seemed. She’d been so quiet, tone filled with awe. Your face ran hot. 
“Wanna kiss,” She said as she leaned forward. 
You placed a hand on her chest. “‘M not about to kiss you, you were just giving somebody head, like, an hour ago.” 
“So?” She said, grinning wider. 
“The fuck d’you mean so? That’s gross, Ellie.” you said with an agitated tone. 
“Wanna bend you over his dresser,” She said silkily, and it made you clench tight. “Missed you, y’know?” 
You didn’t reply as you looked at her skeptically. She didn’t care, grabbing you by your hips to pull you closer, bodies now flush against each other. She bent down to plant soft kisses on your neck. You would’ve complained, but her mouth felt so good, fuck.
“You wet enough?” She whispered out against your throat before sucking on the wet spot. You threw your arms around her neck, your knees buckling. 
“Gettin’ there, keep kissing me like that,” you breathed out in a shaky whisper. You felt her smile against you before licking over where she sucked. 
You felt her hands travel down to your ass, as she grabbed both cheeks tightly in both hands. You let out a breathy moan at her grip before you felt her slap a cheek, and then the other. 
“Take this shit off,” she whispered out as she hiked your dress over your hips. You pulled it over your head, tossing it near the bed along with your halo. 
“Fuck you, I spent time making this,” you said with a pout as she laughed softly. She grabbed your bare tits in her hands before sucking a nipple into her mouth. You moaned as you peered down to watch her flick it. 
She switched sides, sucking the hardened bud into her mouth while she hummed quietly. Your hips pressed against her.
“Prettiest fuckin’ tits,” She whispered against your breast. “Gonna fuck ‘em one day, I swear to god.” 
You moaned at her promise as you felt her slap your ass again before whispering a get over there, nodding towards the dresser. You scurried over as quickly as your heeled feet could manage, tits bouncing with every step. You leaned back against it with your hands propped up behind you as you watched her pull your halo from your discarded fabric. 
“Gotta keep this on,” she said as she walked over, dangling it between two fingers. “For… affect, and whatnot.” 
“Right.” 
“Mhm,” she said as she carefully placed it on your head. “Turn around.” 
You listened without question, and you were faced with your own reflection. Your wet nipples, your rising and falling chest, your wet thong. And her darkly looming behind you closely, all bloody and grinning. Another gush of wetness in your underwear. 
“You know what I think?” She said into your ear, meeting your eyes in the mirror. 
You hummed out questioningly. 
“We’d make a sexy cam-couple,” She whispered huskily as she licked your ear and you couldn’t stop squirming, pushing back on her as she grinded forward. “I could see it now: ‘slutty Scream murders cute angelic pussy’, we’d get paid so fuckin’ good.” 
“You’re stupid,” you shakily whispered out as she reached around to pull at your nipples. Your eyes fluttered shut as you leaned back against her, one hand reaching behind you to wrap around her neck while the other dug into her jean-covered thigh. 
She slapped your tits as she messily kissed your neck, sucking more bruises into the skin as she moaned against you. You felt one of her hands disappear from your tits, and before you could move to bring it back, you felt it grab the back of your neck to push you down against the dresser, arms falling in front of you in reflex. Your eyes tore open, and you were met with your sloppy-looking reflection. Lip gloss completely gone, eye-makeup smeared, sweated-out press sticking to your forehead(dammit!), and your halo lopsidedly hanging off your head. 
“Uh huh,” she muttered out as she watched you through the mirror, slowly thrusting her hips forward like she was fucking you and fuck, you wanted to fuck so bad. You hated how you instinctively pushed back on her, propping yourself up on your elbows. “Would make a sexy little pornstar.” 
“Fuck, El, ‘m so wet, c’mon, please! —” 
“Gonna baby, just lemme look at you,” she said back, and you whined, pushing back on her again. You wish she had her dick with her! 
“Make me cum, El, pleeease,” you whined out again, and you felt her slam a hot hand on your ass. You cried out as your cheek seared. 
You felt her slowly pull your panties to the side. You lifted your head to watch her through the mirror: her brows pulled down, her lip between her teeth, and she had the audacity to release a glob of spit on your pussy. You felt a gush of wetness leave you as it trailed down your pussy. 
“You’re so nasty,” you slurred out quietly. 
She reconnected your eyes in the mirror, and she grinned cunningly. You felt her free hand come up to run slow, deep circles on your slippery clit, and you moaned out as your eyes fluttered shut. You dropped your chin on the dresser in relief. 
“Cutest fuckin’ pussy, can tell she missed me,” you clenched tighter gushed wetter at her tone, your pussy screaming missed you so much, daddy! You could tell she noticed when she snickered out a small yeah, you did.
And then you felt her slide a finger in. Your jaw dropped as you gasped wetly, and you hated how she immediately found that spot that makes you scream. Your walls were gripping her finger tight tight tight—
“Fuck, angel, gonna gimme this pussy later?” 
“Fuck yes, ‘s yours!” 
“Yeah? Say it again,” and she dug her finger in deeper. 
“‘S your pussy, daddy, make me cum!” 
She gently pushed another finger in and she grinded them into you, barely pulling out. You hadn’t even noticed that the grip she had on your neck disappeared, her other hand reaching around you to massage your clit. You stayed bent over the dresser so she could hit it deeper, and fuck, she made you feel so good!
Your eyes were glued shut as you breathed and moaned out, but you felt her press kisses all over your ass, biting the cheeks. Your eyes fluttered open as she sat up, slowing down her fucking. She met your eyes to ask, “You ever get your ass fucked?” 
You barely reacted at her bluntness due to your hazy mind, but you shook your head no. She nodded as she pouted. She went back to fingering your cunt. 
“Mmh, you can if you w-wanna, when you take me home later, shit—“
“Who said I was takin’ you home? Hm?” She said and you heard the smirk in her voice. She pressed up against that spot harder as she slid another finger in. 
“Fuuuck!—“ 
“Yeah?” 
“Yes, baby, yesyesyes!—“
You watched her drop to her knees and felt her suck your clit in her mouth and your eyes rolled back and it was about to make you cum—
The sloppy noises of her sucking your pussy and the soppy sounds of her fingers inside you made you hotter, and you felt that burning feeling pulling in your gut.
“El, fuck, baby, I’m gonna— “ 
“C’mon angel, get me wet, want it all over my fuckin’ face— “ 
You couldn’t hear all the nasty shit she was muttering on your pussy as she fucked you through your nut, her lips taking your throbbing clit back in your mouth as she massaged that spot inside you. She was eating you like you were paying her for it and fuck you would if she asked. 
“Taste so fuckin’ good, no one tastes this good, what the fuck,” she said dazed. You knew she was watching your pussy twitch as you rode out the aftershocks on your orgasm, slowly fucking her fingers into you. 
You felt her stand up, slowly rubbing your clit as you calmed down, planting gentle, wet kisses onto your back. 
“You good?” She whispered against you, and you nodded against the desk. 
She chuckled gently, massaging your ass in both her hands before pressing a kiss on a cheek, “C’mon, we’re leaving.” 
You barely could catch your breath, “W’na dance, still.” 
“No, you don’t,” she said, licking up your spine. You felt her press her lips to your ear before she whispered. “Text your friends and tell ‘em we’re leaving. ‘M dropping them off so I can fuck this ass.” 
You shuddered. 
And nodded. 
And she cheesed wide.

p.s. i love you (1)
Tumblr media
pairing: doctor!jungkook x doctor!oc
summary: you’ve been tasked to a young toddler as a patient with jungkook, the both of you grow fond of the child, loving and caring for her like she was your own. yet when things take a huge turn and takes everyone by surprise, jungkook is there to catch you.
warnings: angst, comfort, mentions of death, but not oc or jk 🙃
word count: 3k+
p.s. i love you masterlist!
snippet of the chapter:
Jungkook pushes the hair out of your face and wipes the tear rolling down your cheek.
Your stomach does a flip.
“I hate to see you so upset, wish I knew how to make you feel better, hmm?”
It’s busy in the hospital at the moment as many patients are being admitted, you find your schedule more and more packed with various patients. Meanwhile, your eyebags are getting heavier and darker, your meal times have been cut short, and you practically now live at the hospital from how long you stay here every day.
“___ I have a new patient for you,” Your head of department is briefing the team, assigning them specific patients to give specific care to, those in the ICU. You pray that you aren’t being assigned to another creepy pedophile, out of your history of patients, these weren’t the most ideal to work with.
“You’ll be working with Dr. Jeon, you two have to watch over Yeseo, she’s 4 years old with stage 3 cancer, and her parents are not available to be with her all the time as they are financially unstable and need to work constantly in order to keep up with the hospital bills and treatments.”
“I hope the both of you take the time to bond with the child and watch carefully over her, her parents have trusted us to ensure she’s happy and safe.”
You nod calmly, but your heart is going to rip out of your chest.
You’ve just been assigned to your long term crush who has a full sleeve of tattoos and rides a Harley Davidson.
You tell yourself to stay focused on what is important, it’s the toddler with a detrimental illness, not your stupid crush.
You see Jungkook, who’s sitting a few chairs away from you, turn to face you. But you look straight ahead because if you even dare to move your gaze towards him, you’d just lose all control.
When the briefing is over, you pack your stuff up to rush to your desk, but an arm grabs you to halt you in your steps as you whip around.
Jeon Jungkook.
Shit.
“___ I’m aware we’re scheduled for 3pm later to visit Yeseo, but I have a clashing appointment with my new patient so I’ll be a little late, I apologise in advance,”
He has an apologetic smile on his face that makes you want to forgive him for anything, it makes you want to tell him that he can not show up at all and you would still forgive him.
___ you’re at work. Focus.
You’re really trying your best to ignore the fact that you have a massive fucking crush on him, trying to stay professional. But it’s hard.
————————————————————————
“Hi Yeseo, I’m ___ and I’ll be taking care of you with another nice doctor okay?” You use your baby voice that normally works when introducing yourself to young children, but it seems like she’s a little different.
She’s timid as she hides under the blanket, only her eyes popping out to stare at you.
You watch as her hands clutch onto the blanket tightly.
Poor thing, she must be tired and overwhelmed with the amount of therapy and treatment she has to go through, without her parents around.
“Do you like puppies?”
She nods softly, eyes lighting up at the question but still hiding under the comfort of her blanket.
“Well, Dr Jeon has a puppy and maybe I can get him to show you the very very cute puppy later okay?” You give her a big smile, trying your hardest to crack through her shell.
“Did I hear my name?”
Geez. Your heart drops as the familiar deep voice rings from the door of the room.
Jungkook comes in with his warm smile and you watch as his lips curve upwards, you want to kiss-
You seriously need to stop and control yourself.
“Puppy?” There’s a small delicate voice that comes from the girl hiding further under the blanket, probably from having a new face enter into the room.
“Ahh, did my partner tell you about my puppy? Wanna take a look?” Jungkook pulls the other chair towards the bed next to you as he pulls out his phone.
You sincerely hope he cannot hear your heart thudding in your chest from the way he said “my partner”.
But you remind yourself that he meant it as work colleagues.
You watch in endearment as Jungkook shows Yeseo short clips of his dog, Bam, which he had once brought to the hospital to show another young child who loved dogs.
You and Jungkook finish off the day with checking her vitals and preparing her for her treatment tomorrow, and when you close the door to the room, you sigh in satisfaction. Finally, after almost a ten hour shift, you get to relax.
“Thanks for today,” Jungkook snaps you out of your daze.
“Hmm? For what?” You frown, confused.
“Being such a good partner, I’m glad we got paired up together, you work so well with young kids it’s admirable, and I think we had a good start with her today thanks to you,”
He’s making you go insane at this point, you just hope he cannot see your ears turning a bright shade of red.
“You’re surprisingly good with them too, I think Yeseo will like you more because you have Bam,” You tease him, nudging his shoulder.
It’s really muscular.
“We’ll see about that,” He chuckles at your words.
————————————————————————
You rub at your temples and sigh, the elderly patient who was just admitted into the ICU for having high blood pressure and almost going into a heart attack is not cooperating.
She had been refusing to accept treatment from anyone, no matter how much convincing you and your doctors had tried.
“I don’t need this,” She's grumbling as her forehead wrinkles from frowning, “I am not sick and I don’t need treatment,”
“But Miss, You are in critical condition and I really advice you take the treatments-“
She cuts you off again, stubbornly rejecting you for the millionth time.
“Hey, I’m gonna take a breather outside,” You inform the other nurse in the room as she gives you a nod and a sympathetic smile.
Being a doctor wasn’t an easy job, but it was really rewarding seeing patients improve in their conditions and happily get discharged. Even though there were definitely some cases that made your head hurt, like today, you often tried to tell yourself not to give up.
It’s really hard when your head was throbbing and you were surviving on two hours of sleep. To add onto that you were on a schedule that ended at 10pm tonight.
You don’t notice Jungkook standing a distance away, distracted from the conversation he was having with one of the nurses. He watches your huffing and tired state, gaze softening as he calls Hoseok from his desk.
“Hey, Dr Jeon called me to take over you, why don’t you go and take a break before your next appointment, I think I’ll take over from here,”
Hoseok takes you by surprise as he approaches you, taking the clipboard of the old lady’s documents from your hand and opening the door.
“Thanks,” You called out before the door closed.
You look around to find how on earth Jungkook knew what you were doing, meeting his soft gaze as he mouths, “Take a break,”
You smile at him, mouthing back a “thank you” as you walk back to your office
————————————————————————
You’re back in the hospital two weeks after Yeseo had been admitted into the ICU, she had been in and out, her conditions were not very stable, yet she did show some signs of improving.
“Yeseo, I really need you to try and eat this okay? It’s really yummy and it’ll make you strong!”
You’re trying your best to persuade the 4 year old to eat some food. She had been refusing to be fed for the past 24hours and you’re desperate to get something in the toddler’s stomach.
She crosses her arms and pouts, spitting out a cute but fiesty “No,”
Jungkook, who’s sitting on the chair next to you, takes the spoon of porridge from you as he inches closer to the pouting toddler,
“Here comes the airplane~”
You almost sneer at the way his voice raises two octaves and how the spoon in his hands swerve around Yeseo’s face.
“Open wide!” The spoon in Jungkook’s hand nears her mouth, but she seals her mouth shut as he sighs at the failed attempt.
You let Jungkook figure out another way to convince the poor toddler to eat, or else it’s the IV drip that’s next.
“Yeseo, if we cannot feed you this food, do you know what Doctor Jeon will have to do?” He puts down the spoon and questions her.
The toddler shakes her head as she peers curiously, waiting for the answer.
“We will have to put another tube in you! Remember how you didn’t like the other tubes when we did your treatment?“
Jungkook tries to explain the IV drip to the four year old toddler in the simplest way for her to understand
But his tactic seems to work almost too well when Yeseo starts to tear up, her lips wobbling as she shakes her head.
“Don’t want! No tube!” She wails, the tears beginning to stroll down her cheeks.
“Okay, okay, we won’t put the tube if you help us to eat some of this yummy porridge okay?” You tell her, carrying her into your lap, as the toddler burying her face into your chest and sniffs.
“No tube?” Yeseo asks, looking at Jungkook for confirmation.
“Yes, no tube I promise, so now be a good girl and eat this for us okay?” Jungkook confirms.
————————————————————————
After feeding Yeseo, Jungkook walks over to check on her results from the recent tests she had undergone.
“Seems like she’s doing a little better,” Jungkook informs you
You smile at that, “That’s amazing,”
“Sleepy,” The toddler on your lap yawns, clinging onto your shirt to get your attention.
You check the time, realising it’s a little past her usual naptime.
“Okay, let’s go to sleep okay? Then we’ll be back tomorrow to play with you again!” Jungkook takes her from your lap, tucking her into the sheets.
She nods, eyes half shut as she waves at the both of you, an adorable habit she developed whenever she was going to fall asleep.
You smile at her actions, “And your mummy and daddy will be here to see you when you wake up, so make sure you sleep well now!”
She’s a little more excited to sleep as she forcefully shuts her eyes, making the both of you laugh.
————————————————————————
The last thing you expected was for you to walk into the office today, ready for work with a good eight hours of sleep, only to walk into a room that was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Your head of department nodded for you to take a seat, you glanced over to Jungkook and he had this look on his face telling you something wasn't well.
“What happened? Is it Yeseo?” You’re panicking, thinking she’s back in the ICU after being out of it for a few days.
“Don’t tell me her cancer has progressed,” Your voice wobbles a little, afraid that after her condition seemed to be improving, there was a chance it could have slipped again.
“Yeseo’s parents are here ___, they wanted to tell you and the rest of the doctors something,”
That’s not a good sign.
Yeseo’s vitals and conditions had been going up and down recently, but with your analysis from you and Jungkook’s visit, she had been doing a little better.
You didn’t want to even think about what was about to happen next.
“I just want to thank you all, specifically Dr Jeon and ____ for taking such good care of Yeseo, as well as the other doctors who often came in to check up on her,” Her father speaks up
You gulp
“We are extremely grateful for the love and care you brought to her, and whenever we visit her, she always mentioned how you all showered her with so much love,” Her mum continues
A silent tear rolls down your cheek.
You know what’s about to happen.
“Unfortunately, Yeseo left us this morning, but when we came over last night to visit her, we talked to her,“
“She somehow seemed to know her time was up soon-”
Her mum begins to burst into tears before she can complete her sentence.
You do the same.
You run up to her mum, embracing her tightly.
“I’m so so so sorry,” You sob as you hug her mum, tears roll down your cheeks as you gasp for air, shocked from the news that took you aback the moment you walked into the room.
“I’m so sorry I couldn’t save her, I wish I could have done more to help, I’m terribly sorry,” You’re apologising over and over again,
Her mum shakes her head as she lovingly wipes the tears from your face, even though more begins to pour down.
Jungkook’s eyes turn red from the amount of heavy emotion in the room, watching as you cry in her mum’s embrace.
“It isn’t your fault at all dear, in fact, I couldn’t thank you enough for being there for her in her last moments,” Her mum tears with a smile on her face,
With more hugs and comforting, her parents leave teary-eyed, but with a smile, thanking everyone in the unit for all their help.
Jungkook wants to approach you to comfort you while you still cry as you walk out of the room.
But he has to control his own tears from spilling out.
He doesn’t make it in time to approach you before you hide in the comfort of your office.
————————————————————————
You haven’t been this affected by a death ever since your first dog had passed away.
You can’t seem to stop the tears flowing as you somehow feel regret.
Even though you know that whenever you serve a patient, there is never a 100% chance that they make it out, and it was something all the doctors had to train themselves mentally for. Most of the time you manage to comfort yourself and others, acknowledging how everyone did their best to help, and that was all that matters, no matter the outcome.
But with how close you grew with Yeseo and the determination you felt to make her better, the piece of news today overwhelmed your feelings.
It felt as if you had lost a child, a loved one who you cared for so much and nurtured.
It hurt you so bad to suddenly have her presence gone, to have to accept you would no longer have any more appointments with her.
There’s a knock on your office door that interrupts your crying.
“___?”
It’s Jungkook. You recognise his voice immediately.
“I’m coming in okay?”
You hurriedly wipe your tears, catching your breath as you pretend to look down at the documents on your table.
At the corner of your eye, you see Jungkook pull the chair across your desk next to you, head lowering slightly to attempt to look at you.
“How are you processing the information?” He questions, his voice soft yet filled with hesitation.
You shrug, not trusting your voice to answer the man.
“I know it’s hard, I’ve seen you grow so much with her and I have too, it’s sad but it’s a reality that we have as doctors, you never know who you can save and who you can’t”
Another tear rolls down your cheek
Jungkook pushes a hair out of your face and wipes the tear rolling down.
Your stomach does a flip.
“I hate to see you so upset, wish I knew how to make you feel better, hmm?”
His words take you by surprise, but you suppress your reaction to that.
“Don’t say it like that, you’re messing with me,” You whisper, peering up at him through your red bloodshot eyes.
He raises an eyebrow at you, “How am I messing with you baby?”
You stiffen at the pet name.
Jungkook’s quiet for a second, he silently cusses at himself for letting it slip.
“Come here,” He calls you.
You look up to him as he has his arms open, signalling for you to come closer to him.
You’re reluctant to let yourself do so, your heart thumping in your chest from the intimacy he’s about to make you experience.
He’s playing around with your feelings too much.
“Come on, I don’t bite,” Jungkook teases you, as you laugh, playfully smacking his arm, already feeling better with his presence.
You’re grateful for Jungkook’s muscular arms bringing you into a hug.
It makes you feel a little better knowing he’s here to comfort you.

Screams coming from Sam's home has your paws picking up speed and Evita's hands tightening in your fur so that she could hold on. The others were at your heels, uneasiness clouding the pack telepathy and only thinking of the worse. Surely, today couldn't get any worse, right?
Once in the backyard, no one cares that you three wolves are stark naked. Evita didn't bat an eye having grown accustomed to the pack's frequent nudity.
Nearly ripping the backdoor off it's hinges, all of you crowd into the kitchen and rush through to the living room where Bella and Nadege are screaming, but not in pain in horror. Their outburst is one of pure delight when you catch the sight of a perfectly made ward clutched in Bella's hand.
Tension flees from you and you too pull Evita forward as both of you squeal in delight.
"You did it!!" Sliding onto your knees in front of her, you beckon for Bella to show you the ward. Evita's curls bounce with excitement as she says something in Spanish to Nadege.
Bella's eyes are large and there's the telltale sign of glossy tears that are on the brink of following over her bottom lashes. You'd never seen her smile that wide. Her hands are trembling when she hands it over to you for inspection.
"All the wards are finished." Evita gleefully announces to the others in the room that had gone unnoticed in the moment.
Seth, gleaming over Nadege's shoulder, rises to his full height to address Jacob. "Sam?"
Difficult to pull his attention away from Bella's ward, he reluctantly looks up at Seth and Emily who lingered near the hallway. "He'll be at the Cullens for a while. They have Irina there under some sort of sleeping spell."
You catch the younger wolves grumble about missing it but one silencing glare from Leah, they settle down and merely fold their arms. Quil and Embry, sitting next to them, are grateful that it's not them for once on the receiving end of Leah's deadly gaze.
"We need to disperse these wards as soon as possible." Evita says while searching through her backpack for a rolled up piece of printer paper. Inked on it was a map of the Forks-LaPush area. "They don't have to be placed at these exact coordinates. Just as long as they're in the general area."
"I'll go get the other wards." Emily nods and retreats to the bedroom she shared with Sam, deemed the most secure place in the house.
Back and laying out the rest of the wards on the coffee table, there's the question of dividing the pack into groups to scatter them in their appropriate locations.
And much to your shock, their eyes all turned to you.
It takes you a moment to realize everyone was staring at you. You were still congratulating Bella while the others spoke.
When you find their attention solely on you, it causes your face to warm. "What?"
"Well. . . since the older members of the pack are at the Cullens. . ." Jacob takes the lead since no one else was saying anything. "And you and Sam have been spending a lot more time together-"
"You're the closest thing to an alpha we have at the moment." Leah finishes for Jacob since he appeared to be struggling with an explanation.
Nadege and Evita possess toothy grins as they glance from you to your packmates.
"Me?" Voice squeaking, you feel your palms grow clammy.
Embry's warm eyes happens to calm your nerves as he gives you an encouraging grin. "Well, alpha?"
Taking a deep breath, you nod your head. "Okay."
Tumblr media
Ideally you'd want to wait for the sky to darken a little more to better hide the massive wolves moving through the woods (and even having to cross a few public streets) to get to their given pinpoints.
You and Evita stay behind as you watch the other duos disappear in the weaving web of the forest trees. Brady and Embry to one direction, Quil and Colin, Seth and Leah; the only pairing you questioned slightly was Bella and Jacob. Perhaps they could use this time to make up as well (not like you were one to talk. you had yet to even mention what happened to him). Nadege would take the last one and shift to her bird body. She much preferred an aerial view opposed to you and your packmates navigating by scent and memory.
Phasing back to your superior wolf form, Evita easily swings herself onto your back. Her fingers slightly pull at your fur as she makes sure to get a good grip. The first time she'd been a passenger on you, she'd fallen without much help staying on you. Learning her lesson, she now used your fur as handlebars, being as gentle as she could while also affirming that she would not be flying off.
You and Evita would be the group to go the furthest out. You'd have to travel to the border of where Forks meets the Elk Creek Conservation Area. Doing your best to keep away from the public eye and keeping to the wilderness.
Trying not to stumble, you realize you're impatient to get this whole thing over and done with. No more of the black overbearing cloud that were the Volturi looming over your heads. Irina was subdued. Victoria was long gone. The Volturi were your only obstacle left. And then. . .
You might be able to have a chance to finally breathe and enjoy your budding relationship with Edward. Live a life of a young lady in love. Was that too much to ask for?
Tumblr media
Awkward was not quite the word Jacob would have chosen. Tense, perhaps cringe inducing were the more appropriate terms. Instead of shapeshifting like the rest of his pack, he chose to use his motorcycle and have Bella on the back of his seat. Her hands cling onto the front of his shirt from behind. Jacob had noticed the lack of strength as she gripped onto the fabric. He'd overheard from Dieufel how using magic could drain one's energy. Especially those who are just beginning in the practice. Making that ward must have taken a lot out of her.
Irina had destroyed much of his garage including his beloved Volkswagen. But his motorbike survived.
They drove in silence to the northern most part of Forks.
Actually, not complete silence. Thanks to the slight auditory enhancement he possessed with his human body, Jacob could hear the rapid fluttering of the cardiac muscle that resides in her chest. Swore he could even feel it too against his back as Bella clung to him.
While he felt incensed for what (y/n) had down in spilling the beans, he knew he'd omitted the truth to Bella and ultimately was the cause for her hurt feelings. He'd wanted to apologize before hoping onto his bike, but time was crucial more than ever.
"This should be good enough." Jacob says once the engine of his bike is silenced.
Bella pulls off her helmet and puts it in the spot behind Jacob. She looks around at the barren area where they'd stopped at. Nadege instructed her that all Bella was required to do now was simply dig a small hole and bury the ward. The witch doubted the Volturi would even be aware of what the ward was if they came across it. Better safe than sorry.
From the small backpack, Bella grabs the two necessary items for their mission: the ward and a small handheld spade.
She couldn't mess this up.
She wouldn't mess this up.
Her fingers have a stranglehold on the items in each of her hands. Jacob watches her curiously while scanning his eyes around their surroundings every so often.
Dirt flies as she makes a hole deep enough to properly cradle the stone smooth ward. Covering it back up, she flattens the earth back into proper alignment to not draw attention to what is buried underneath.
"Done." Her smile is hopeful when she walks back to Jacob. Her helmet is almost on her head before Jacob interrupts her.
"Wait, Bella. . ."
Hesitantly, Bella lowers her arms along with the helmet and arches a slim brow up.
"I'm sorry about what happened the last time we hung out. I'm sorry about a lot of things, actually. I should have at least told you about the imprinting. But, I was in denial about it. I didn't want it to be on someone I didn't know. I always hoped that you would somehow be my imprintee." Jacob chews on his bottom lip. "You didn't deserve that though. You're my friend. Probably one of my best friends but don't tell the others."
"I just wished you would've let me be there for you like you've always been there for me, Jake. I can't imagine what you were going through all that time. Didn't understand why you were acting like an-"
"Asshole?"
"Yes."
Both laugh.
"I forgive you." Bella says with a smile still on her face. "How are you feeling about the imprinting now? Still in denial?"
That has his expression sobering up. "Can't really deny it anymore. Plus I feel better knowing that Leah's imprinted on that Dieufel dude."
"Wait- really?"
Jacob nods. "Yup. Neither Dieufel or Evita know about it. Sam instructed the pack not to let the witches know of the imprinting until after this ordeal with the Voltur is finished with."
Their gaze lingers back to their buried treasure. Bella encouragingly tells him "Well, that day may be sooner than you thought. If she's worth the wait, which I think she is, then you just have to bear through it."
Bella holds his hand. it wasn't even that long ago where this kind of contact would have him getting butterflies in his stomach. Now though he sees her as a sister.
That's when he sees the exhaustion on her face. "You tired?"
"Magic, as I am now learning, is a lot more energy draining than I imagined." With the weariness was contentment though. She glowed thinking of all that cramming paid off. "This makes me feel like i can right some of the mistakes that have come from my involvement with Edward"
"Want me to drop you off on the way back?" Offers Jacob.
She declines. "No. I want to see this thing through."
Tumblr media
"Quit moping." Leah scolds him through pack telepathy.
The skin of Seth's muzzle furls into an ugly snarl that shows his front teeth. "I'm NOT moping. Why didn't you tell me you imprinted? I wouldn't have judged you for it or anything! I'm your brother-"
She turns to snap her jaws at him. The pouch that hung around her thick neck swings from the sharp movement. There lay their ward that they are to bury. "I didn't want ANYONE to know. I wished it had never happened!"
Seth flinches away, ears flattening against his head and tail moving between his legs.
Taking her temper down a few notches when she feels the hurt radiating from him, Leah internally sighs. She shouldn't be picking fights, especially not with the pack. Enough fighting will be ahead. There shouldn't be any interpersonal fighting within the pack.
She loved her brother and since losing their father, she didn't want to lose anyone else in her small family.
They begin walking again though Leah noticed Seth was further behind.
"I was scared, Seth. I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do. I panicked. . ." Hating admitting that she felt fear, Seth acknowledged her apology as genuine.
Quiet passes for a few minutes until Leah could feel Seth beside her once more; his paws emitting gentle pitter patters over small twigs and crunchy leaves. "No. . . it's alright. . . from (y/n) and Jacob. . . imprinting doesn't seem like a good thing."
"Hopefully when you imprint it won't be as complicated." Leah adds with a small lilt to her thoughts that makes it sound like she's smiling.
Doubt crept in. He hadn't seen anyone positively impacted by their imprinting thus far. Even Sam and Emily started on a rocky start. Imprinting became something terrifying to the younger wolves. He'd spoken with Brady and Colin, neither happy or looking forward to finding their soulmate. In fact they continuously hoped that it would never happen to them. Being a wolf was hard enough.
To change the subject, Seth goes about finding an appropriate dig spot when they reach their destination. His long claws are useful pulling up dirt.
Leah's back in her human skin, pulling at the chord around her neck to open the pouch. She holds the stone in her hand. Warm to the touch. Waiting for Seth to finish, her attention is completely enraptured by the small rock that would ultimately save so many lives. They were putting all their faith in this thing.
She heaves a heavy sigh, placing the stone into the ground, murmuring a silent pray she wasn't sure anyone would hear.
Tumblr media
"Do you think anyone else from the pack will imprint soon?" Brady once again asks Embry and he has to refrain from groaning. The leather pouch strung around his neck bobs as he merely shakes his head to emote his ire. "I wish I had imprinted on Nadege. She's so hot."
If he were in his human body, Embry certainly would have rolled his eyes. "Focus Brady. This is important and we can't fuck it up."
The younger wolf whines. "I know it's important. I just want to lighten the mood. Everything has been so. . . life or death lately."
Embry felt for Brady. He really did. Poor kid was the youngest in the pack. Not even fifteen yet. Brady wasn't allowed to act like a kid his age normally will thanks to this whole werewolf shit.
Reading his thoughts, Brady flicks an ash brown furred ear. "I'd rather be a wolf then some boring teenager."
"You think that for now." It had been all fun and games for Embry too until (y/n) imprinted on Edward.
Thoughts are interrupted by the loud screeching of a bird from overhead. Brady's body lowers to the ground, lips parted in a snarl as his eyes shoot upwards. Embry too digs his nails into the ground, preparing for any kind of air assault that may come their way. This bird didn't sound like any they'd encountered in the wild before.
Familiar colored feathers flurry around in a storm when a giant falcon dives to the ground. Nadege is flushed, panic striking her eyes. "Bury the ward and get out of here. I just saw two cloaked figures traveling down the mountainside. They must be your Volturi."
She returns to her hawk form, allowing the boys to pick up speed and hurry up all while shooting the message down the pack telepathy.
"Stay calm you guys." They can hear Leah's voice. "Just get it down and get out of there. Like Nadege said."
"Evita said once the last ward is in place, the entire thing will activate." (y/n) says. Since Embry has known the girl since childhood, he picked up on the nervous tremor of her thoughts. She was rightfully worried about them encountering members of the Volturi so soon. "We've already buried our's. Evita got a text from Bella that they've buried their's as well."
"Our's is buried too." Quil replies.
Nadege follows them from the sky, partially leading them to the area they were supposed to be in.
"Maybe if Brady hadn't been mooning over Nadege-"
"Shut up Colin!"
"Both of you shut up!" Leah and (y/n) command in unison.
Phasing, Embry yanks open the pouch hastily while Brady starts to dig a hole with his giant paws.
Another ear splitting cry from the treetops, cutting through the forest. Nadege. The Volturi were even closer, uncomfortably so. Her bird body lands on a branch, sharp talons piercing the bark for support. Feathers ruffled in agitation.
Kicking dirt back into the hole, Embry successfully grins. "Done!" He pivots to Brady. "Lets get the hell out of here!"
Brady wasn't looking at Embry though. Frozen to the spot and fur spiked up, slowly his snout furls into a snarl. Nadege releases a high-pitched whistle, sharp and penetrating scream.
"So, these are the wolves Irina told us about."
Without his heightened wolf sense, their scent had passed by him. Embry feels sweat prickling at the nape of his neck despite the chill in the air.
"Turn around, boy."
A throaty growl rumbles from Brady who dared to take a step closer to Embry. Embry simply tried to shoot him a look that hopefully read 'stay where you are' or 'don't move'.
He does so, knowing the rest of the pack was on their way. And that the wards were in position. To test it, all the Volturi had to do was try and pass over it to get to Embry and Brady.
Embry holds his breath, staring into two pairs of blood red eyes. Eery and reminding Embry of the newborns they'd faced off with two weeks prior.
One of them chuckles. "He's nothing but a mere child. The other also seems like just a pup himself."
They creep closer and Embry has to resist glancing down at the ground at the fresh pile of dirt that hid the ward. Instead he waits while his heart is ramming against sternum, threatening to break free from it's confines. These two. . . they felt different from the newborns he'd faced off against.
"Where are the others in your pack?" The taller of the two cock their head to the side. His foot steps over the threshold, a few inches away from Embry. Immediately there's a sizzling sound before the Volturi guard shoots back as if electrically shocked. He hisses in pain, scarlet eyes glaring at Embry. His companion eyes him questioningly before Nadege swoops from her perch and in another flurry of feathers switches back to her human form to protectively stand next to Embry.
He hisses "A witch. More unnatural creatures."
Recovering from his pain, the other one bares his teeth. "Aro will be pleased to know about this. He'll enjoy wiping all of you off the face of the earth."
"I'd like to see him try." Nadege fiercely barks back. Her height matched that of the taller Volturi member. She was a commanding beauty who wouldn't back down. Not when it meant the lives of those she had befriended. "You Volturi are ignorant of the world around you. If you truly aim to rid the world of other beings like us, you'll never achieve it."
That statement outrages the vampires.
Not more than the thundering of large paws that makes the earth tremble. Back up had finally arrived.
A horde of snapping jaws and snarling faces. Bella is seated atop of Jacob's russet brown wolf while Evita is atop of (y/n)'s back. The human girls glare at the ruby eyed vampires. Bella recalling their identities with a scowl.
"Miss Swan."
"Demetri." Her pale lips spit out. Fingers curl tighter into Jacob's fur.
Demetri's companion hisses. "Traitor. You have gone back on your word."
"The situation has changed."
Edward, flanked by a newly returned Carlisle and Jasper, emerge from the trees on the side of the Volturi guards.
"Explain this heresy." Demetri turns to them while Felix keeps his wicked gaze on the wolves. "Why have you allied yourselves with these beasts? Not telling the Volturi of their existence would be considered the highest of crimes."
"Like Edward said, the situation has changed. They helped us fight Victoria's newborn army. They are not the werewolves which the Volturi exterminated throughout Europe centuries ago." Carlisle simply explains with that calm demeanor of his. Perhaps Jasper was using his ability on their side to soothe the tempers of Demetri and Felix as the rigidness of their posture slackened.
"One of those wolves just so happens to be my mate too." Edward proudly announces which only sends disgust through Demetri and Felix.
Felix laughs bitterly "So you traded in a human for a mongrel?"
The wolves growl in indignation for their packmate. (y/n) simply flicks an ear, uncaring for what they thought.
"Easy there." warned Carlisle. "Right now you're trespassing on their territory. I would change the tone if I were you. If you'll just follow us back to our house-"
"What and talk it over a nice cup of tea?" Demetri lightly mocked. "No, this can't be resolved that simply."
"Demetri, please-"
"You've aligned yourself with these savage animals. Not just them, but mortals who possess the powers of a supernatural. They have no place in our world."
"Que hombre tan tanto. (What a stupid man)"
Evita's eyes round at the two newcomers entering the forest. A fearful tremor in her voice. "Mama?"
As if taking a leisure forest stroll, Alice and an older woman stand side by side. Alice looking so petite and pale compared to her companion whose dark, wild curls had strands of silver that would catch on the light. A burgundy shawl is wrapped around her shoulders, covering the cream colored blouse she wore.
Evita's mother scowls at her daughter on the other side of the ward's protective embrace. "Evita, estas en un gran problema. ¿Aquí es donde has estado? (Evita, you're in big trouble. This is where you've been?)" Her eyes, while being the same lovely color as Evita's, had the tell tale signs of aging. Also much like Evita when the pack first met her, there's that tangy scent of magic that wafts through the air that clung to the older woman.
At the slight threatening tone in her voice, Evita pales.
Switching from Spanish to English, Annalisse huffs and turns to address Demetri and Felix. "You two feel like big men? Threatening children?" They open their mouths like their about to protest, but Annalisse silences them with a slash of her hand. Whether that was due to magic or just her intimidating air would be a mystery. Either way it did the trick.
Almost comedic how they shrank away from her as she struts straight up to them despite Alice and the other three Cullen males trying to stop her. This woman was fearless and had the pack staring at her in admiration. Witches were made of much stronger stuff than the regular human. Even Nadege almost leapt into action once the Volturi duo arrived.
"If you want war, the only losers in it would be the Volturi. Only a handful of your kind possess special abilities. Unlike us. You think immortality will save you? That your massive coven will be enough? You're outnumbered even now."
A few quiet seconds pass, Demetri and Felix exchanged glances, a hint of uncertainty flickering in their eyes. They were used to asserting dominance, but this woman exuded a power they hadn't anticipated. Reluctantly, Demetri spoke up, his tone begrudging. "Carlisle, show the way."

Please let me know what you guys would like to see in the final chapter :) I'm interested to hear how you want things to end.

Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8, Chapter 9
Tumblr media
20.5.2011.
The state of New Jersey, Gotham City. It was the dead of night and screams ripped the usually quiet halls of the hospital. It all came from the maternity ward, where Natalia Rose Callahan was giving birth. This baby wasn't an easy one and it seemed like it didn't want to leave the Natalia's womb. The baby seemed quite content to stay there forever, seemingly knowing that the world was a cruel place.
Natalia was alone, the only company nurses and doctors, who were making sure that the baby coming out of her was healthy. There wasn't anyone outside of the room for Natalia. Natalia was in a world of pain, but she was used to it. For the last 20 years of her life, pain and healing was all she was doing.
She was the bringer of pain and death and yet, she was giving birth to a new life.
How ironic.
Her head was swimming, not a single coherent thought inside, only get this baby out now and my God help me. She let out another scream and she let her head fall down onto the pillow. Her sweaty hair was stuck to her forehead, evidence of the fight she is going through. She was going to get through this, she did go through this before, but she was put under.
Maybe she should have opted for a C-section too. Or an epidural. But not this.
She heard the doctor tell her, just one more final push. She took a deep breath through her teeth and when she felt a contraction she pushed, nurses holding onto her hand, helping her through this with soothing and encouraging words.
Natalia Rose Callahan closed her eyes as she heard a baby's cry. She heard shuffling and the doctor was telling her about the placenta and the umbilical cord, but she didn't care at this point.
She just wanted to hold her son. She heard him somewhere else in the room, crying and then silence.
Would he turn out like his father? Would he be ruthless as his father? Merciless? Sadistic? Evil?
She barely opened her eyes. It felt like her eyes were taped shut and she was fighting against it. She smiled as she took her son into her hands. She cried as the nurse helped her place her infant son on her bare chest, the baby calming down instantly.
Natalia cried for a long while. Some were happy tears and some were tears of sadness. Her son was finally here, in her arms, thousands miles away from her old life and back in the place where he belongs.
But at the same time she wondered how did she allow him to get her pregnant once more. Did she love him? More than anything. And she knew, that deep down, he loved her too. But was that the life for her son? A life of pain? A life of destruction?
A life full of grooming to take over?
Only purpose to be an heir?
When Natalia stopped crying, she looked down at her son. He opened his dark blue eyes and Natalia knew that she was going to break the cycle. One way or another.
Her son wasn't going to be born into her old life. When she gets out of the hospital, her son will step into the new life. And with his step into a new life, she will shed her old self, like a snake.
She will adapt. She was surviving before, but she won't anymore. She will live. She will do whatever it takes to protect her son. He won't live in fear.
She won't let it happen.
" Do you have a name mom? " The nurse asked as she came in to see how the duo was doing.
" Elias Spencer Callahan. " Natalia said, smiling down at her son.
" Such a beautiful name mom. But I'm afraid that I have to take little Elias. " The nurse said as she wrote the full name down.
Natalia nodded and with a last kiss, she handed her son over. The nurse cooed at Elias, putting him into the special crib, just near her.
" Rest up mom. You will need it. " The nurse said with a smile, leaving the room.
Natalia closed her eyes, ready to fall asleep, but woke up when she heard the door opening.
" Hello Aseel. " Natalia said tiredly, smiling at the old friend.
Aseel chuckled, walking towards the bed, giving her a kiss on the forehead. He gripped her hand for a moment, before letting go. He walked up quietly to his nephew. Although not related, Natalia looked at Aseel as an older brother.
He looked down at the baby. The baby fell asleep. Aseel felt a tear fall down on his face. He wiped the tear away.
" What's his name? " Aseel asked, watching as the baby's face scrunched up a little bit.
" Elias Spencer Callahan. " Natalia said, turning her head to the side.
Aseel nodded, gently caressing the baby's face with his pointer finger. He washed his hands before this. Natalia could smell the scent of soap. Something... Floral?
" I can see that something is bothering you Aseel. What is it? " Natalia pressed, making Aseel sigh.
" He kind of looks like his father. "
" But he has my eyes. " Natalia said softly, making Aseel smile. She did have gorgeous blue eyes.
" I don't doubt it. I took care of everything. You and little Elias are going to be fine. " Aseel said, moving back to Natalia. He took a chair and sat down next to the bed.
" Something else is bothering you. " Natalia said, closing her eyes for a moment.
" I love my unofficial nephew, but... Was it wise to have him? You gave the bastard an heir. A male heir. " Aseel said, jaw clenching at the thought of Elias' father.
" The baby isn't at fault. And he never will. He didn't ask for this. And I will do whatever it takes to make sure that he is safe. " Natalia said, clenching her fists.
" Does that include that you will teach him how to fight? "
" Yes. But it will be more fun. "
Aseel snorted quietly, rubbing his eyes.
" You should sleep Nat. You look almost dead. " Aseel joked, standing up from the chair.
" I will don't worry. "
" I will go to your apartment to get it ready. "
" Thank you Aseel. For protecting us and for helping me. " Natalia said, finally falling asleep.
" Always my sister. Dayiman akhti. " Aseel said, giving her a kiss to the forehead. He walked over quietly to the little baby. Elias was so untouched by the world and its cruelty.
" And I will always protect you. " Aseel whispered softly. Aseel chuckled quietly after a funny thought. The kid is going to have a year round tan. And very good skin complexion.
But there was something else that entered Aseel's mind. The sheer protective feelings and a feeling he thought he would never feel. Paternal love. This baby, this boy was going to be loved so much.
Elias Spencer Callahan was going to be okay. Aseel al-Dawood swore to whatever deity was listening.

Midwinter Carol 3 / The Carriage
Tumblr media
Pairing: Ascended Astarion x Female Elf Sorceress OC
Word Count: 2.9K
Story navigation: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Summary/Setting: Based on the prologue/premise from my OneShot "A Midwinter Carol."
Astarion and the OC broke up after his ascension. She left Baldur's Gate for fifteen years, only to return just recently. Following the events of "A Midwinter Carol," Ascended Astarion has been convinced to pursue a new beginning. Will he be able to change who he has become, with the help of his ex-lover? Or will he ultimately fall victim to his pride and desire for power?
Preview:
“Astarion… why did you reach out, after all this time?” She asks, dropping her gaze to her hands, which have been neatly folded in her lap. “What do you mean?” The Vampire Lord responds, feigning ignorance as he steals a moment to prepare himself for the conversation he knows they are about to have. He turns his head to stare out the window, hoping to give himself the illusion of further distance from Eirianwen. Her close proximity was unnerving.  “You know what I mean, Astarion. I tried to contact you via the sending stones. For years. You never responded.” Her tone is tight as she tries to contain the indignation and hurt. Fifteen years apart, and the fact that he hadn’t communicated with her once, despite her efforts, still stung. It had been a gaping wound in her heart that had never fully healed.  Eirianwen had asked to meet with the Ascendant at the Elfsong, a few weeks after their relationship ended. He had been under the impression it was to reconcile, and that she had changed her mind about his offer. Instead, she had given him the sending stone and expressed her desire to remain friends. The suggestion of being merely Eirianwen’s friend had nearly made Astarion retch on the spot. 
Warnings: This will be 18+ / in game spoilers / OOC Ascended Astarion because it follows my epilogue / Eventual Smut and maybe Gore / Angst, trauma, fluff
A/N: IDK guys I'm on a role with the fics this weekend and obsessed with this concept so... here's another one! If you want to be added to the taglist for this series, please leave a comment clearly stating that so I can keep track!
It had been a strange week. Returning to Baldur’s Gate proved more emotionally exhausting than Eirianwen had anticipated. 
Perhaps she should have said no to Astarion’s invitation; part of her worries accompanying him may be a mistake. She felt as if sprites were flying around in her stomach.
In retrospect, the sorceress should have been more hesitant and asked more questions, but his sudden, unexpected appearance had completely disarmed her. Did he consider this a date? Or was it simply an invitation between two old friends? She truly couldn’t be certain.
But, perhaps she was needlessly concerned, and everything would turn out fine. Anyway, the elven woman had to find a way to talk to Astarion about some delicate matters; it had been the main reason she’d returned to Baldur’s Gate after all this time. 
A single dance at the Midwinter Gala would not have been the appropriate setting for the conversation. At the time, Eirianwen feared Astarion would scorch everything and everyone around them in a rage if she’d done anything but allow him the dance. The barely concealed fury in his eyes as he cut in between her and Wyll on the ballroom floor had caused her stomach to churn with anxiety. 
Perhaps the sprites had made a home in her stomach after that interaction. The feeling returned every time she laid eyes on the Vampire Lord.
Since the gala, the sorceress had been fixated on speaking to Astarion again. She spent several hours a day desperately trying to form a plan; more than one letter had been drafted, ripped to shreds, and tossed. Eirianwen was embarrassed to admit that she, the elusive hero of Baldur’s Gate, had been too much of a coward to show up and face him at his own palace, where she had ended their relationship fifteen years ago.
But then the Vampire Lord did the hardest part and called upon her, to her astonishment.
Accepting the invitation seemed, at the very least, a good opportunity to extend an olive branch to the Ascendant. She hoped to mend their friendship before delivering any shocking news, mostly to avoid the worst of his rage. 
The way he spoke to her when they broke up still caused a pang in her heart. She shakes away the memory, instead choosing to reflect on the events of this week.
When Eirianwen met Wyll for lunch the same day as Astarion’s unplanned visit, she’d informed the Duke about the Vampire Ascendant’s invitation. The conversation had not gone well. Thinking about it now, as she waits beside the Duke for the Ascendant’s carriage to arrive, makes the woman’s palms sweat. There are those sprites again. 
“Wyll… why didn’t you tell me about the benefit auction this weekend?”
“I meant to bring it up at lunch today, Eirianwen. Actually, I was wondering if you’d like to accompany me?”
“Oh… I’m sorry, Wyll. Astarion came to call on me just earlier today and–” 
Wyll stiffened, and his face evolved from its typical relaxed, amiable manner into a hardened visage she hardly recognized. She had been quick to try and soothe the Duke, unwilling to cause a rift between them. He had been an exceedingly gracious host, and she was more thankful for his warm welcome than words could express.
“He didn’t access the grounds! Your guards are most excellent, they didn’t allow him entry!” She hastily explained, conveniently leaving out her attempts at convincing them otherwise, and Astarion’s attempt to sneak in through the rear of the property, “But I happened to be outside and, well, he invited me. And I’ve already said yes. It’s for a good cause, after all, and I didn’t know you were planning on attending since you hadn’t mentioned it.”
His face dropped into a look she did not quite understand. He sighed and shook his head before murmuring, “Are you sure that’s wise? Ani, I–”
She bristled at the nickname, which only one person had ever been allowed to call her. Her tone was clipped when she quickly interjected, “Please don’t call me that, Wyll.”
The Duke snapped his mouth shut and sighed again before returning his attention to his meal. His jaw stayed clenched between bites of food.
The rest of lunch passed in uncomfortable silence. 
Umber meows beside Eirianwen and she shoos away her thoughts, bending down to place a gentle pat on the cat’s head.
Wyll glances at his pocket watch and then turns to the elven woman, “Eirianwen, he’s late. Are you certain he’s coming? I would be more than happy to–”
Speak of the devil. The Duke and the sorceress simultaneously spot Astarion’s carriage coming around the corner. Wyll’s mouth seals into a thin line as the offer he was about to make dies upon his lips. 
Two obsidian draft horses come to a halt in front of Eirianwen; the footman quickly drops down and opens the chariot door. Astarion emerges from the confines of the vehicle with an arrogant eyebrow raised and a small, self-satisfied smirk on his lips. He’s wearing another one of his ostentatious, heavily embroidered jackets; this one is black velvet with golden dragons breathing fire along the lapel. 
He knows he looks good. 
As the Vampire Lord descends from the carriage, his eyes gloss over Wyll with apathy and then settle on Eirianwen. 
“You look wonderful, Ani.” Astarion murmurs as his scarlet eyes take in the deep navy blue of her trumpet-silhouette evening gown.
Wyll’s head snaps to the sorceress as he notices, with displeasure, that she does not admonish the Vampire Lord for calling her the very nickname he’d been forbidden to use. A muscle twitches in the Duke’s jaw as he observes this reunion.
“Good to see you again, Astarion.” Eirianwen greets with a nod as she brings an anxious hand up to play with her necklace. The tension between the two men was so overwhelmingly thick that it could have been cut with her old sussur dagger; her stomach is fluttering again.
The Vampire Lord is distracted by the action, and his eyes immediately flit to her neck, where he cannot help but to notice the small pin prick scars that remain from… before. He instinctively shifts his eyes away.
“That’s a beautiful necklace, it goes well with the dress.” The pale elf compliments mechanically, looking past the woman’s shoulder as he quickly tries to smooth over his brief moment of awkwardness. He’s certain both Eirianwen and Wyll noticed as he faltered, distracted by those little fang scars. Astarion is painfully aware that his carefully crafted, cool, and collected persona slips further and further from reach every time he interacts with the sorceress. 
It is at moments like this, when his mask fumbles and his charisma wanes, where he still feels like the tragic, weak spawn version of himself.
Astarion had immediately recognized Eirianwen’s necklace to be the work of her family, the Ar’Tel’Tavas jewelers based in Silverymoon. Over the years, the Ascendant commissioned more than one piece from the family, under a pseudonym. It had been the only piece of Ani with him all this time.
The Lord was quite aware the family’s funds supported their daughter on her little adventures. Eirianwen may not have been a noble, but she had been a child of privilege. She was allowed to do as she pleased and flit around all of Faerun because her parents ensured she would be provided for. He was not ignorant of that fact. 
Astarion had reasoned long ago that if he could not have her, then he would at least make sure she was provided for. His purchases ensured she had access to more than enough funds for her savior act. He’d owed her at least that… after everything.
The Vampire Lord, despite his pride, had always been aware it was Ani’s planning and command of their group that ultimately put him where he now was. In another lifetime, he would still be under Cazador or dead without her interference. He was loath to admit he certainly wouldn’t be the Ascendant without her help.
Some days he hated her for it; most days, he accepted the gift for the double-edged sword it was.
The Vampire Lord’s left hand fiddles restlessly with the gold ring on his right pinky; it was one of a few dozen commissions designed by Ani’s parents, and the only one he wore on a daily basis. The signet is a snowflake, backed by a cool blue enamel. 
The pad of Astarion’s index finger rubs against the lifted texture of the ring as he forces himself to acknowledge Wyll. The Ascendant nods tersely but does not perform the customary bow. He would never submit to Wyll, even as the best version of himself. 
The pale elf simply greets the human man with a cold, “Duke Ravengard.” 
Wyll nods back, but no other pleasantries are exchanged between the two men.
“We should head out; we are going to be late.” Wyll murmurs in general, though he has his eyes trained on the sorceress. 
Eirianwen glances at Wyll and nods before she makes her way toward Astarion’s carriage. Before the Vampire Lord can offer to help his ex-lover inside, Wyll extends his hand to Eirianwen and ushers her into the other man’s caravan. The pale elf bristles at the slight, fist clenching into a ball as he locks hardened eyes with the Duke. 
Umber hops in the carriage after the sorceress, and at first Astarion thinks to protest, but quickly censors himself, knowing better than to press Eirianwen about her pets. He briefly recalls she hadn’t allowed him to touch her for a week when he’d refused to let Scratch sleep in the bed with them. 
The familiar sprawls itself out on the seat opposite Eirianwen and then turns its head expectantly to Astarion, as if waiting for him to enter the carriage.
“We’ll see you there, Wyll.” The elf hisses cooly, his arrogant eyebrow raised in a silent challenge.
Wyll brushes past the Vampire Lord with no acknowledgement.
-----
Two ghosts sit side by side, both staring at the cat lounged on the other side of the vehicle. Several moments of silence pass. The ex-lovers shared a carriage for only one event prior to this, when they had attended Wyll’s coronation as a couple all those years ago. 
The sorceress had cast an arcane lock on the door to prevent the footman from opening it, and Astarion had barked an order at the driver to simply leave the carriage in the driveway. By the time the caravan had been parked in front of the palace, Eirianwen had already fallen apart twice under the Ascendant’s expert ministrations. 
It had been the first time he’d been able to be inside her without the usual feelings of disgust and the desire to pull back. They’d broken up not more than a few months after.
Once again, it is the elven woman that breaks the heavy silence.
“Astarion… why did you reach out, after all this time?” She asks, dropping her gaze to her hands, which have been neatly folded in her lap.
“What do you mean?” The Vampire Lord responds, feigning ignorance as he steals a moment to prepare himself for the conversation. He turns his head to stare out the window, hoping to give himself the illusion of further distance from Eirianwen. Her close proximity was unnerving. 
“You know what I mean, Astarion. I tried to contact you via the sending stones. For years. You never responded.” Her tone is tight as she tries to contain the indignation and hurt. Fifteen years apart, and the fact that he hadn’t communicated with her once, despite her efforts, still stung. It had been a gaping wound in her heart that had never fully healed. 
Eirianwen had asked to meet with the Ascendant at the Elfsong, a few weeks after their relationship ended. He had been under the impression it was to reconcile, and that she had changed her mind about his offer. Instead, she had given him the sending stone and expressed her desire to remain friends. The suggestion of being merely Eirianwen’s friend had nearly made Astarion retch on the spot. 
So it was true, the Vampire Lord never responded; in his pride and delusions of grandeur, he could never bring himself to reply to the woman that had abandoned him. She had broken his heart and destroyed his ego when she refused his offers and then ran from the city, far away from him. Could she really blame him? 
Every message reminded Astarion of the pain she’d inflicted on his heart, which he’d tried so desperately to forget. He’d refused to admit that a simple sorceress had caused the most powerful vampire in Faerun nearly two decades of hurt and anguish.
He never responded, but he had every message, and the sound of her voice, committed to memory. Astarion’s eyes glaze over as the recollections flood him.
The first message arrived a few weeks after she left the city.
“Hi Star. Made it to Halsin’s. The Shadowlands look different. It’s beautiful. Come see what we did, your imagination won’t do it justice.”
That had felt like a stake to the heart. At the time, he was certain Eirianwen had been intentionally trying to goad him, since the first person she ran to after their relationship ended had been her other lover. 
Then, three months later, another message.
“Hi Star. We are building a school for the kids. We could use your vampiric strength, if you’re willing to lend a hand.”
No. Absolutely not. He refused to show up and watch Halsin and Eirianwen as the picture of happiness and domesticity. If she wanted to move on, so be it; he did not have to witness it or pretend to be happy for her. 
Followed by another message, about six months later.
“Hi Star. Shadowheart and Lae’zel are getting married at the end of this month. They asked me to invite you.”
Again, absolutely not, he knew that Shadowheart was Eirianwen’s best friend, and suspected the cleric loathed him deeply. Better he spares them both from the charade.
Another message, approximately one year later.
“Hi Astarion. I’m off to explore the wilds again. Let me know if you’re interested in pursuing another adventure, for old times' sake.”
The offer had been tempting, but he’d been on the brink of gaining monopoly over the shipping industry. Stepping away would have been disastrous to all his efforts, and he had spent several years here building a life without her. The fact that she expected him to drop everything for her after all this time was ridiculous. 
Then, her final message, roughly one year after the last.
“Scratch died today. I know you loved him, even though you pretended you didn’t. This will be my last message, Astarion. Hope you’re well.”
Shortly after that, the magical glow from the sending stone disappeared. Ani had smashed her half of the set. That had been the only time the Vampire Ascendant had allowed himself to shed any tears over the broken bond between them. After that, his heart had callused over entirely, and he vowed to never let anyone else in again.
A rough bump in the road causes the wagon to jolt, knocking the sorceress into the Ascendant. Eirianwen instinctively grips onto his arm to steady herself, forcing Astarion from his daydream. He flinches in surprise at the sudden contact, and she whispers an apology before shifting away.
Umber is staring at Astarion. He’s convinced the cat is judging him.
“What do you want me to say?” The pale elf murmurs, his tone dejected. 
“The truth.” She responds quietly, reaching forward to pet Umber, in an effort to distract herself. The cat purrs in delight and closes its green eyes. 
“Ani, surely you must know that when you left…” The Vampire Lord starts, looking down at his hands where he’s fidgeting with the signet ring once more.
‘I was heartbroken.’
“It wasn’t easy for me.” He finishes, forcing the words out in another tight tone. The effort to spit out the truth hurt his jaw; that was the most vulnerability he could allow himself.
Eirianwen sighs. Umber’s purrs fill the silence, and both the elves sit in the fog of their thoughts and the uncomfortable air of unspoken conversations. The woman sits back up and turns to face the Vampire Lord, furrowing her brow slightly. 
Astarion forces himself to meet her eyes. He suddenly realizes how close the sorceress is in the confines of the carriage, and the proximity causes his heart to pound within his chest. He cannot bring himself to speak, so he simply focuses on her eyes. They are soft and round with something akin to concern, and the final flares of sunlight are captured in the iris. 
Her eyes look like home. 
The elves are staring at one another. The air inside the carriage has grown so thick with tension. Astarion can hardly bring himself to breathe, and Eirianwin feels the metaphorical sprites fluttering in her stomach. Neither of them realize the carriage has stopped.
“Astarion I–” The sorceress begins, but she startles and the words die on her lips as the door to the caravan rips open, revealing an irritated Wyll standing at the foot of the stairs with an exuberant Jaheira. 
The druid is beaming, muscular arms folded across her chest. Her eyebrow is raised in entertainment. When Jaheira speaks, her tone is warm and filled to the brim with delight, “I never thought I would live to see the day when you two chose to grace the Remembrance Society with your presence. Welcome, oh holy saviors of Baldur’s Gate!” 
Eirianwen practically flies out of the carriage, squealing ecstatically as she envelops the older woman in a crushing hug. Umber is quick to follow the sorceress. A flurried exchange of greetings ensues, and then the two women walk off without more than a glance back at the Duke and the Ascendant.
Jaheira guides the sorceress up the steps of the venue as they begin updating one another about their lives.
Wyll and Astarion are all but forgotten, left side by side. The two men barely glance at one another before following after the women without a word.

“Honey, what I’m hearing is that you had a romantic and passionate night with this man and you didn’t even get his last name?” Mai was shaking her head at me after hearing a rough report of my shenanigans with Keisuke last night. I stared ahead and kept picturing his soft, blissful expression lying on my bed, trapped by my thighs, me sitting on his cock, his hair pooling over my pillows that still held his scent and mine mixed together.
Why can’t I stop thinking about him?  
Mai stood up and walked to the side of the bed, noting my ripped-up panties on the floor, her eyebrow raised,
“And when did this happen?” I put the cup of coffee still steaming on the nightstand, catching a glimpse of the photo I had taken of him post-orgasm. She noticed it as well, picking it up to inspect it.
“He wanted me to keep the fishnets on so he ripped these off before going down on me.” Leaning back on the headboard, I took a moment to assess how sore my limbs felt, my insides still felt raw and aching. I lifted my hand to touch my neck where he scraped my skin with his teeth and left little bruises, that was going to need covering up before work. 
She wasn’t wrong, but at the same time she was.
She smirked at me, waving the photo around, “I didn’t realise you were so down bad for this guy, why would you take a photo of him lying, what I’m assuming is naked, on your bed?”
She brought it closer to my face, “This guy pushed you into the wall, but all you talk about is how he was gentle with you? What am I missing?”
I completely forgave him for that shove in the hallway of the club, he seemed genuinely sorry and like a completely different person than I had assumed he would be. No matter how insanely hot he was, he was also kind. And very giving. I smiled to myself, this morning I had the most satisfying gentle sex I’d ever had. None of my boyfriends had ever been that good. And he hadn’t complained about putting a condom on, which shouldn’t ever be as commendable as it was.
Mai reached to have a look at my bruised neck and collarbone, visibly annoyed, “We need to tone this down before work. Come on, I’ll make breakfast and try to cover up your nasty hickeys.” I could just drag myself after her into the kitchen.
How was she so chirpy and energetic? She stayed up until at least 5:30 in the morning, and the party was on until 5. 
“Mai, did you sleep at all last night?”
“Sleep is for the weak. I’m so beyond tired that a whole new wave of energy has taken over. I may drop halfway through the shift though so you need to step up for me, okay?”
“Of course, I’m taking over the schedule duty as well.”
We worked at a cinema not too far from our apartment and, although Mai normally handled the theatre schedule, I had to make sure she could at least get some easier jobs, considering she helped me get my sexual frustrations out last night and therefore sacrificed her sleep. 
Half an hour later, with my neck covered in four layers of concealer and colour corrector, we made our way to our work, completely unprepared to handle groups of screaming children and their disinterested parents. 
“You smell different, is that some new perfume?” She broke through my thoughts.
“I think it might be his scent, I assume that’s his shampoo because his hair smelled so divine.”
“Damn, Kakashi really is That Guy , isn’t he?”
With a playful shove, she started towards the only store room that had chairs for us to sit on, and I took a pen to try and figure out how to tackle today. 
“It’s Keisuke.”
“Whatever.”
~
Saturday nights were for the girls. After work and a shower, Hana and her girlfriend showed up at our apartment for a weekly pizza night. By the time it was my turn to catch them up on your week, everyone had already had their turn and normally my updates had always consisted of a very short summary of where I was with my research papers, how much I hated my Contemporary English professor, and what songs I was hyper fixating on. This time all I wanted to talk about was Keisuke. I had never got so hung up on real people, so this was a very interesting topic to all of them. 
“So as all of you may know, I brought a guy home last night,” I picked up another slice of pizza, “and now he’s basically all I can think about, it pains me to confess, but I sniffed the pillow he slept on several times today.” 
“Simp!” Asami fake-coughed into her hand, giving me a devilish grin to which I responded with a stuck-out tongue.
“I didn’t even get much of a look at him when he pushed me into a wall last night, but then I completely embarrassed myself in front of him and realised he’s actually so gorgeous and hot I wouldn’t have minded if he was some sort of serial killer as long as he put his hands on me.”
Mai pretended to vomit at that, Hana and Asami just chuckled at my dramatics. 
“Listen, I’m not one to obsess over guys this much, but something about him really drew me in and I was so stupid that I didn’t ask for his last name. Or his number!” I dropped my head into my hands and groaned, “Why didn’t I get his fucking number?”
Hana piped up, “Didn’t you say he worked at Pet Zone? You can always go find him there and ask him.”
“Don’t you think that might come off as a bit creepy,” Asami asked, “I mean if the roles were reversed, I’d definitely think it was some creepy guy who didn’t understand the concept of a one-night stand.”
“Asami, you think every guy is creepy and should be avoided at all costs,” quipped Mai.
Asami just shrugged and took a sip of her drink.
Hana reached out to get her glass, “By what you told us happened, he seemed to be really into you and maybe didn’t think you would want to continue seeing him. Just a thought, though.”
I was becoming more and more hopeful, “What if I just interpreted it wrong, though? What if I’m misremembering it because that was how I wanted things to happen?”
“I can always come with you to the shop and get some stuff for Kisu.” Hana and Asami had adopted a beautiful orange cat that was a menace to society, but I loved her so much that I regularly bought her Dreamies.
“You don’t think it would be painfully obvious? I don’t even know when his shifts are, he’s got university as well as work.” I felt myself whine a bit too much now.
Mai decided to finish this conversation by calming me down with a big hug and some reassurance.
“Babe, if Keito’s not there we’ll come again and again until we find him and you ask him out. If it takes us a month, then so be it, but you’re overthinking this. The way he kissed you on his way out didn’t look like he didn’t want to see you again.”
“Thank you, love. And his name is Keisuke.”
“I don’t think it is,” she winked at me. 
“I know what I screamed last night, my darling, and it’s definitely Keisuke.”
“I feel like it’s becoming a bit and I don’t want to stop it, so deal with it.” Mai ruffled my hair and went back to her glass of wine.
After a couple of hours, all of us went to bed, Mai had given Asami and Hana her own room so she shared with me. I lay my head on Keisuke’s…I mean, my pillow that Keisuke slept on and inhaled deeply. The scent was fading, I really needed to find him again.
Mai was deeply snoring while I lay with my eyes half-closed playing with his hair tie on my wrist. 
The next day Asami made her way to visit her parents, slightly regretting not going with us to the city centre. Mai, Hana, and I, as per usual, spent way too much time in the bookstore, gently caressing the spines of our favourite books, laughing at ridiculous covers, and making highly ambitious reading lists that we were never going to follow. The trip was a success as I managed to walk out with only two new books and three complimentary bookmarks.
Now, with a significantly lighter step, we went into a few clothes shops and there I realised I needed to get more underwear. Mentally cursing Keisuke for ripping the most comfortable pair, I picked out two new comfy pairs of panties and one lacy pair that I didn’t even know the occasion for. It just called to me, black lace with a red bow on the back seemed right up my alley. 
With a sigh, we went on to our final stop of the day, Pet Zone. This was it, all my hopes and dreams were riding on the good outcome of this situation. A gentle pat on the shoulder from Hana made me snap out of it, I patted my face to sober myself up and stepped inside.
~
The best thing about any pet shop is the fact that owners come in with their dogs and let them roam around the shop, so when I walked in and got greeted by three dogs at the same time, the only worry that was left on my mind was making sure I gave each of them an equal amount of attention.
Hana and Mai went to the cat aisle to browse while I was left barely five steps into the store, wishing I had three hands to give all of these good dogs love at the same time. 
“Uhm, hey there,” a muffled voice reached me. I looked up to see a slightly winded Keisuke with a hand over his mouth, trying to finish chewing his food.
“Hey, take your time, man” I tried to sound like this interaction hadn’t been on my mind for a whole day. 
“Sorry,” he swallowed, “I saw you on the security camera and ran back in before properly finishing my lunch.”
Was this guy for real? He cut his lunch break short because I walked into the shop? Was I hearing this correctly?
“Oh you really didn’t have to do that,” why did I sound so shy? This man had been inside of me two nights ago and now I was shy ?
“I was worried I’d miss you, what brings you here?” He still sounded a bit winded.
“Hana needs some stuff for her cat and we were out with her shopping so we just stopped by,” I motioned toward where Hana and Mai were playing with cat toys.
“Got anything interesting?” He pointed at my bookstore haul.
“Just some books I’m probably never going to get around to reading, but I needed a dopamine hit after feeling so down,” crap, that sounded a bit too desperate.
“What happened?” 
Sigh , “Well I thought you might not want to see me again…after that night.”
“W-What? I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore and that was why you didn’t ask for my phone number!” He started getting flustered.
“I thought you didn’t ask for my number because you weren’t interested,” I confessed, “are you telling me this all could’ve been avoided had both of us stopped overthinking for a damn minute?”
He started laughing, causing me to join him, oh my days he was so beautiful.
“I was rushing so much I didn’t grab my phone,” he passed me a piece of paper with the shop logo and address, and a pen to write my number down. I finished the note with a little black heart and gave it back to him, his face visibly more relaxed now. 
“And just so you know, you owe me a new pair of underwear,” I said in a lower tone, “don’t think I forgot.”
“I don’t think I can forget anything from that night,” he picked up my hand and played with his hair tie that was still on my wrist. I blushed and started to take it off to give it back to him, but he pushed it back on.
“Keep it. I took something of yours as well,” he lowered his head to my cheek and placed a gentle kiss. I tried to mentally remember if I noticed anything missing yesterday, but to no avail. I looked at him with a question, but he just grinned back at me.
“You’ll see, I guess you’re gonna have to meet me again to get it back, that is, if I feel generous.” 
With that, he walked back to finish his break, and I was left to locate my friends and report on the situation.
“What a weirdo, what did he take? Probably your underwear or something creepy.” Hana scrunched up her nose in distaste.
“I don’t think so, I’d notice if any were missing because I had to get new ones already. Also, I don’t think he had the time to do that, since if he wasn’t inside of me, he was next to me.”
Mai patted me on the shoulder with pride. “See, I told you it would work out, and you got yourself all worked up about him.”
“I mean, he is pretty, in a girlish kind of way,” Hana said, looking back at the store.
“I need him in my bed again.” I felt my insides twirling, longing to be full of him again.
“Damn, I don’t remember you being this horny with any of your exes.” Mai playfully pushed me forward.
“What can I say, six orgasms in a night can do that to a girl.”
“Rookie numbers,” Hana scoffed, making Mai and me laugh a bit too loud.

By the time Mai and I got home and unloaded everything we bought, I’d gotten a message from an unknown number that just said “What’s your favourite colour?”
Yuna, 14:12

Keisuke, 14:14
Got it ;) 
Yuna🖤💙, 14:15
what do you want me to put you as?
I broke out in laughter and Mai came into my room to check what was going on. I just shook my head and showed her the screen. 
Keisuke, 14:15
His Majesty Keisuke, King of My Vagina and Bringer of Infinite Pleasure 
“Kids…” she walked away with a smirk against her will.
Yuna🖤💙, 14:16
i’m leaning towards KeiSUCKe
Keisuke, 14:16
That’s what you’ll be doing later…

hahaha of course. are you eating anything beforehand? we’re making pancakes..
Keisuke, 14:20
I’m having dinner with my brother after work, but thank you for asking c: 
I won’t complain if you save me one to try.
I sent him the address just in case he couldn’t remember where the building is and practically skipped out of the room. Mai was in the kitchen, enjoying a cup of tea, and waved me over to join her at our dining table. 
Yuna🖤💙, 14:21
See you then :)
“Based on your red cheeks and the smile that’s not coming off I’m going to guess the first text conversation went well?”
“He’s coming over tonight. At 8. I need to shower. I need to clean my room.”
“Oh good heavens, please tell me you’ll be in your room and not venture out into the bathroom again,” she rolled her eyes.
“We’ll try to behave. Maybe we won’t even have sex tonight, we’ll watch a film, talk for a bit…”
“...feed him your vagina and feast on his dick, yeah, yeah, I get it.”
“Seriously, Mai, this man is making me feel tingly just thinking about seeing him again, but I may actually want something more with him.”
Mai’s expression switched into concern. I knew she wanted what was best for me and to protect me from my own stupid mistakes, but I doubt anyone could have a chance with Keisuke and not jump on it.
“Just don’t obsess over him to the point where you can’t see the real world anymore. That’s all. I get it, he’s hot, but you deserve a 10/10 personality, and not just a 10/10 appearance.”
I kissed her cheek and headed for the bathroom to take a shower and get my shit together.
I changed my outfit for the third time when the doorbell rang. Mai got up from the couch to open and I walked out into the hallway just as Keisuke walked in.
“Hey Kento,” Mai greeted as he simply smirked at her.
“Hello Mina.” His eyes found me and, having taken his shoes off, he joined me in my bedroom.
Just as the door was shutting Mai got her last remark in, “No screaming!”
Keisuke chuckled and turned to me, looking me up and down.
“I didn’t think I’d get to see you again, how are you?” 
After breaking the kiss for a breathing break he lay back onto the pillow he slept on the other night and looked at me with amusement on his face. I got closer to him, unsure of what exactly to do.
I sat him down and joined him on the bed,
“I haven’t been able to get this stupid smile off my face ever since I walked out of your shop.” He caressed my cheek and I felt myself leaning into his touch when he pulled me closer to him and kissed me, taking my breath away.
“Did you want to put a film on?” He offered. To be completely honest, I wanted him naked, suck his soul out, and have him break me in half, but I may have been rushing into things. 
He must have noticed the want in my eyes, because he sat up, closing the distance between us, and held my face before whispering,
“Or maybe we could get this pent-up need out of the way first,” he kissed my lips gently, “and then be at peace for about,” breaking his sentence he bit my bottom lip, “let’s say half an hour before,” this time the kiss was deeper, needier, “enjoying each other a little bit more, hm?” 
He rolled me over onto my back and gripped me tight. His hand snaked through my t-shirt to hold my breast, eliciting a desperate moan right into his mouth. His kisses trailed down to my neck, scraping his protruding canines across my skin, with a deft movement he slid my top over my head, leaving my breasts exposed to his hungry eyes.
“It was almost physically painful, thinking that I wouldn’t see you again, that I wouldn’t get to do this.” I gasped when he took my nipple into my mouth, his tongue swirling over it as his teeth nipped it playfully. My hand immediately went to the back of his head, grabbing a fistful of his hair to ground me. The hand he didn’t use to hold himself up went between my legs, dipping under my underwear an d directly between my lips already needy for his attention.
When I rolled my hips up into his hand to get more friction he lifted his head up, flashing a devilish grin and licking the tips of his canines, making me slippery wet.
“Why did you even bother putting these on? We don’t need to rip another pair, do we?” If I wasn’t already turned on, that would’ve done it. His voice was low with a raspy tone that made me feel feral for him.
“Keisuke please, I need your tongue”, I whined. With a grin he pulled down my panties and tossed them aside, his fingers still stroking lazily along my folds. I felt my breath hitch every time he passed the clit, desperately trying to raise my hips to meet his touch. 
“Patience, gorgeous, we’ll get there. I want to make you a bit needier first.”
Wow, what an asshat.
“Keisuke I’m-ah-I’m begging you, touch me, fuck,” my pleading seemed to work because he immediately dipped his head down and started feasting on my needy pussy. He moaned into my puffy lips, flicking his tongue over and around the clit, making me ascend with pleasure. My hand flew back to his head to grip his hair which dragged out a beautiful moan from his soft lips, now wet with my juices, buried in between my legs. His tongue was desperate, accompanied by his fingers pushing inside of me, curling to rub me just right and make me nearly scream into the dark room.
“Hold me tighter, sweetheart,” he squeezed out in between licks, making my grip tighten and I hoped I didn’t accidentally pull his hair out. Feeling another moan directed into my clit sent me into ecstasy, I could hear my heart thumping and my ears focusing on the sounds of Keisuke lapping up my juices like there was no tomorrow, and with that I came on his skilful tongue,
“K-fuuck Keisuke!” The look on his face was hungry for more, he wiped his face with his own hand and licked the wetness off. 
I reached for my drawer to get a condom, but he stopped my hand, grabbing his phone instead and showing me the screen. It was some kind of document, and when I tried to focus on reading it he explained,
“I got tested on Thursday, got the results yesterday,” he pointed at the bottom of the screen, “Completely clean.”
That made things a bit easier and possibly more exciting. “I’m on the pill and haven’t had sex in over a year. Got tested right after…the last time and I’m also clean.” 
His smile seemed to grow with every word I said so I dropped the condom and went right to taking off his clothes. When he was naked in front of me, his cock glistening with precum in all his glory, I reached to touch his lean body, admiring the pale skin of his stomach, littered with scars. I felt the sudden urge to kiss every single one of them. He gently pushed me back and grabbed one of my hair bobbles from the nightstand, holding it in his teeth to collect all the hair in a ponytail.
That trick is so hot, I needed his teeth all over me . 
He positioned himself in front of my entrance and started teasing his tip over my needy hole and puffy lips.
“You have no idea how much I wanted to feel you on my cock,” he looked down to where we were connected, “to feel your pussy squeeze me and make me weak.”
“What’s the holdup then, Keisuke-fuck- fuck ..ah fuck me already!” He didn’t need another push, he slammed into me, making me cry out, and lowered himself down on top of me to kiss me deeply before pulling almost all the way out and pushing in again. 
I was losing myself in him, his slow pants and moans directly into my ear were making it damn difficult to slow down the wave of pleasure that was swallowing me. My nails were leaving marks on his back, only encouraging him to go faster and harder. When I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I bit his lip and came with the most desperate moan. 
Keisuke lifted me up and switched positions, sitting up against the headboard and me sitting on his cock. Then I began bouncing myself on him and rolling my hips, his hands firmly on my hips helping me keep pace. I threw my head back and let out a groan while he attacked my collarbone with his teeth. 
Still keeping a steady pace, he licked up to my ear,
“You feel so good wrapped around my cock, taking it whole. Such a good girl so full of me. You’re all mine , all mine , just mine to- fuck -to please.” I quickly brought my head back to look at his face. The hunger in his eyes, his forehead sweating and loose strands of hair sticking to him. He looked feral, just like he had said I made him feel, with his distinguished canines. I took it all in.
“All yours?” I managed to squeeze out, holding onto his shoulders for balance.
“All mine. I’m not letting you go fuuck I need you. I need to hear you cum for me again. Say you’re mine.”
Through pants I whined, “I’m yours! I’m- fuck- I’m all yours! Take me how you want me Keisuke! Ah fuck I’m cumming all yours!”  
That made him trap my lips in his, swallowing my cry and fucking me through another orgasm. Slowing down slightly to give me some rest he swapped us back to the previous position, this time not leaning over me, but looking down at my naked form, still fucking into me.
“You look so good like this, a hot mess all because of me. Tell me you’re mine.”
I started slurring my words, “‘m all yours, Keisuke. I’m yours. Fuck keep going please…”
My pleasure began to build again, this time threatening to take me fast, almost crossing into overstimulation. My walls began tightening around his cock and his hip movements started getting irregular - he was getting close to finishing.
“Where do you want me to cum, sweetheart?” I couldn’t form my words properly anymore, I was so drunk on his cock hitting my cervix with each slam into me.
“ Ah inside please please Keisuke come inside me fuck,” that was the last straw for him, with a final grunt and thrust, he spilt inside of me. Just as I felt his warm sperm coat my insides, I came again, this time unable to take any more friction. He slowly pulled out and lowered himself to take a closer look at my leaking pussy. He smiled at me,
“You look so good with my cum spilling out of you.” With that, he licked my entrance, making me twitch with sensitivity, and hovered over me, kissing me with his sperm still on his tongue, making me taste the  mix of both, his cum and mine.
I couldn’t find the strength to reach for wet wipes to clean myself up, but he was already on it as soon as I pointed in their general direction. He cleaned me up, gently trying not to overstimulate me again, and tossed the wipes in the bin. I closed my eyes, completely exhausted, when I felt him climb into bed next to me and gently pull me closer to him. He kissed my sweaty forehead and I could hear him softly whisper, “You’re mine .”
If you've come this far then you may as well rb or like :) Constructive criticism is welcome as I hadn't written anything in YEARS before this so I am rusty af and don't have a beta reader :)

More thoughts on Derision (Spoilers, obviously)
I think it's amusing that the default counter-argument to anyone who criticizes this episode boils down to "Well, you're just a Chloe Stan!" Which is something I had to deal with myself recently. Apparently, you can only hate this episode if you're a Chloe apologist. First off, hi, I'm Eddo. I wrote a fanfic where Chloe literally gets thrown into the dirt and suffer an allergic reaction to cacti, both times being her own fault. I feel like my Chloe Stan license should be revoked after that.
Anyways, I'm not surprised with the direction they went with Chloe in Derision. It's been stated since around Season 4 that Chloe was on a "Damnation Arc", so they've been doing everything they can to make her worse and worse. So, I'm not surprised or even angry that they continued this here. I'm annoyed, but not angry. What I AM angry about would be the other characters who got mangled in this shitshow.
Tumblr media
Writers? Could you please stop having Chat threaten people with Cataclysm after he's shown regret doing it to people by accident TWICE?! This has happened three times now, counting what happened with Scarabella. Yes, I know he did this before with Darker Owl, but that just makes it worse because that happened right AFTER he regretted doing this to Monarch. You know, the guy who's been tormenting and attacking everyone for over a year? I guess to Chat, Damocles and Kim deserve it more for ripping away a fantasy and pulling a shitty prank respectively.
I know I complained about this a lot already, but this needs to be stressed upon. If we're going to take Cataclysm seriously, especially with what later episodes showed us, maybe DON'T have your hero threaten people with it for relatively petty reasons? "BUT IT'S FOR TRUE LOVE!!!1!!" Yeah, no. When he tried to do it on Darker Owl, Ladybug told him to cut that crap. It then happened again with Dark Humor with Ladybug telling him not to do it. It doesn't matter if it's for "true love." Both times he did this so far, Ladybug made it clear that this was a bad idea. So, maybe you guys should stop trying to encourage it. I refuse to believe that Chat believes that Monarch is more deserving to live after everything that he did than Kim after what he did. Speaking of Kim...
Tumblr media
My friendly neighborhood dumb jock, why would the writers do this to you? When we only had the leaks to go by, I actually tried to scour for any interactions Kim had with Marinette and I can confirm that with the revelations we got in Derision, they REALLY don't make sense. Yes, Kim was a bit of a douche in the first season. Origins had him push Ivan around to the point of being the trigger for the Akuma. But he wasn't THIS much of a douchenozzle. Moreover, I have a hard time believing Marinette would be as friendly as she is with Kim throughout the series given what he did to her as revealed in this episode. Also, I know this is going to sound offensive, but...Kim was Marinette's first crush? Really? That's what you're going with? I'm not trying to insult Kim, but there was NOTHING that hinted to this. I can't help but think this was the thought process of the writers when they brought this up:
"So, we need to have Chloe do something to Marinette that would explain why Marinette struggles to be with Adrien. It has to be something big and traumatic. More importantly, it has to involve Marinette actually having a past crush that Chloe ruined and it has to be a character we're familiar with, so we can't make up an OC for it. We can't use Nino because he had a crush on her and it wouldn't make sense for her to reciprocate. We can't use Nathaniel because his crush went almost completely unnoticed by Marinette and he's also gay now. We can't use Ivan because he likes Mylene and we can't complicate that. We can't use Max because most people think he's ace and subverting that would piss a ton of people off. Oh, and we can't have it be any of the girls either because our show would get cancelled if Marinette isn't straight. So, let's just make it this guy."
Tumblr media
"This. Fucking. Guy."
Tumblr media
I'm having a hard time thinking of any other reason. I know some people theorized in the past that Kim and Marinette might've had a thing, but I don't think they held any water. Even now, however, I really don't think people should be happy it was canonized in this way.
I always held the belief that Chloe was responsible for Marinette's behavior, but my idea of it was that Chloe had been bullying Marinette for a long time and those years of sustained bullying took its toll on the poor baker girl that made it difficult for her to not only open her heart to people she loves, but have difficulties making friends in general until Alya came along. Yeah, Chloe doesn't look good in this case either, but it would've been more reasonable and would probably resonate with a lot more people who probably had to deal with bullies messing with them for a long time because these effects usually aren't instant. They get built on for a long time and it can really mess up their perception on things.
I think a good story would've been Marinette having to heal from that sustained trauma and while it is difficult since nobody can just quickly heal from trauma, it'd be a good journey for Marinette to be able to open up again with Alya and Adrien being just the first two pieces Marinette needs for her recovery.
But now, instead of all that, it turns out Chloe just pulled a prank that just unleashed a cavalcade of trauma on Marinette all at once that is hyper-specific to how she handles her crush that Adrien and ONLY Adrien can heal. All the while, it turns out that the prank was actually pulled by a guy who I really thought was just kinda fun and cool, but now I can't talk about him in the same way again because he's been thrown under the bus for the sake of this nonsense plot that's difficult not to call a full-on retcon. Do you know what I can call a retcon, though? Or rather who?
Tumblr media
I am sorry to all of the people who are probably stanning Socqueline right now, but I CAN'T vibe with her. I'm not saying you're not allowed to like her either, because that would be dumb, but I DON'T like how she was presented in Derision. First off, to get this out of the way, we're no strangers to characters being introduced out of nowhere. Felix and Zoe are both characters that come to mind. The thing is you can at least explain their respective absences easily. Felix had likely been distant from Adrien for a long time with him only coming in out of obligation with Amelie. Zoe is actually even more easy to explain given that she was shoved into a boarding school by Audrey and wouldn't really be able to connect with any of the characters until she was forced to transfer. Socqueline, however, does not have that luxury and cannot be easily explained away not only with how we found her, but for the fact that there was NO hint to her existing until Season 5 and that is inexcusable given how much importance this character now has. To put it in perspective, this is how we are introduced to Socqueline in Jubilation:
Marinette: That fake Ladybug from this morning, I think it was Socqueline, a school friend from last year. Knowing her, I’m sure she means well. But I have to convince her to stop putting herself in danger like that.
That's it. She just calls her a school friend. Yes, it's clear that she's at least important enough for Marinette to remember her name, she was just called a school friend. At the very least, she did have an interesting story with her trying to be Ladybug in order to help people. Of course, she had to be talked out of it because it's causing issues with the real Ladybug, but it's a decent story and Socqueline had only made a few appearances here and there.
And then Derision.
Yes, Socqueline referred to Chloe as "that monster", so it's clear that they planned her to have something against Chloe since her first appearance. However, Derision showed us that Socqueline wasn't just a school friend. She was Marinette's closest confidant in the school years prior to the start of the series. She actively protects Marinette from bullies, particularly Chloe, and was clearly a huge inspiration for her until Chloe got her suspended from school.
First off, in case I haven't made it clear, we haven't seen Socqueline AT ALL until Season 5. Not even a hint to her existence. So given how significant she was made out to be in Derision, WHY HASN'T SHE MADE ANY APPEARANCES IN THE SERIES BEFOREHAND?! She doesn't even have the excuse of being outside of Paris like Felix and Zoe do because she's STILL there and in an arts and crafts store no less, which probably would've been a great place for Marinette to hang out in with her friends if the writers thought this through. But they didn't and Socqueline's debut comes off as severely jarring because we have this character who was really important to Marinette's life just not show up until she started cosplaying as Ladybug.
Secondly, it muddles Marinette's own backstory as well as severely hampering the significance of Alya. Now instead of being alone with nobody to help her against Chloe, which makes her friendship with Alya all the more stronger, Marinette just had this super cool friend who was always there for her until mean ol' Chloe got her kicked out of school. Doesn't that sound like something you'd see in a fanfic, specifically one that's salting Alya given how Socqueline was depicted as Marinette's BFF?
Thirdly, if Chloe was able to get Socqueline suspended so easily, then why hadn't she been able to do that with the other students? Yeah, she got close with Alya, but that didn't stick. If Chloe really had the ability to just make students disappear even if it happened once, she would NOT hesitate to try and do this again with any other student who slighted her, ESPECIALLY Marinette. But she doesn't. Once her attempt on Alya failed, she didn't try again. Hell, LILA had more attempts to get Marinette kicked out of school than Chloe did and actually got closer to doing it than Chloe would ever get, which is weird since she doesn't have the title of "Mayor's Daughter" to throw around like Chloe would. This just feels like something done to explain away why Socqueline didn't show up in the series which doesn't work because she's STILL IN PARIS and I'm pretty sure Marinette would be more than happy to meet with Socqueline given how close they were, but that never happened.
Fourthly, I'm guessing nobody felt like pointing it out because it felt too obvious, but doesn't Socqueline just come off as the writer's answer to Bridgette? You know, the older Marinette based on the anime PV that some fan writers implement into their own stories? Yeah, she's not one-to-one similar to Marinette like Bridgette is, but it definitely feels like another instance of the writers pulling stuff out of fanon just to put a canon spin on it. And like all the other instances, it's a bad spin.
Lastly, this whole incident with the prank and Socqueline's suspension took place a few months before Origins. Not even a year at the earliest. It was specifically stated that Socqueline was suspended three weeks before the end of the school year. Given how close that time gap, the way everyone behaves in Origins makes almost no sense. Marinette would be a lot more horrified of Chloe if Derision was anything to go by and Chloe would be more willing to try and cast Alya out so Marinette doesn't have any allies given that Derision showed Chloe REALLY wanting to make sure nobody helps Marinette. The only point I could even give any leeway to is Kim and even then, again, he's not that much of a douche in Origins as he was in Derision. So, really, it all just comes off as a blatant retcon specifically to try and explain the new direction the writers are taking with certain characters. And do you want to know the dumbest thing? Apparently, Socqueline was such an inspiration to Marinette that the latter changed her hair to be more like Socqueline's.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
No, seriously. That's also how they explain why Marinette has different hairstyles. I know Expository Hairstyle Changes are a thing in fiction, but this is just awkward as hell given how traumatic and melodramatic the whole thing is. You don't need to say that Marinette's hairstyle came from someone who she considered a hero because nothing about Marinette indicated that her hairstyle is important. This isn't like Josuke changing his hairstyle to be based on the man who saved him as a child. It's a purely cosmetic change that's suddenly given a shit-ton of significance because now it's connected to this horribly traumatic incident. In fact, you know what this reminds me of?
Actually, the whole segment where this Linkara clip came from seems to sum up a lot of things wrong with Derision. It's not just bad because it makes some characters look bad or introduces stuff out of nowhere. It's bad because now everything in the flashback is now part of all of the characters! Every prior episode will now have to be viewed with a lens tinted by the events of this episode. Now nobody can discuss Kim without people salting on him for the prank, now nobody can talk about how important Alya's friendship with Marinette because of Socqueline's sudden boost in significance (In fact, it's very likely that Alya salters will try to use Socqueline as a replacement friend), and now nobody can speculate the intrigue of Marinette's past because EVERYTHING about her behavior is linked to this specific incident and nothing else. That's what pisses me off about this episode. That's why I share that Double D meme so frequently. I could care less about how much of a monster Chloe was depicted to be in this episode, but I am going to complain when other characters are butchered in the process. I will complain about one thing concerning her, though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isn't it amazing that you can tell the writers are trying DESPERATELY to squish any and all positive interpretations of Chloe, even trying to downplay parental neglect because "this character also didn't have a mom and they didn't turn out this way" even though Mylene's and Chloe's situations are still VASTLY different? You can make the argument that Audrey's absence doesn't excuse Chloe's actions. In fact, I don't think it really does either, but saying that there's only one valid response to an absent parent is EXTREMELY insensitive to people who might be going through similar situations.
Oh, and to cap this all off? This is the favorite episode of one of the main writers. Said writer possibly being considered to be the new director for Season 6 of Miraculous and onwards. I'm not gonna name which one for obvious reasons, but it's been confirmed.
I feel like this is a good indication that you need to hop off this series.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 - Chapter 5 Chapter 6
Burning Hearts Chapter 4: Past Lives
— — — 
“Rise and shine Miss Daisy!”
The cheerful words shot through your ears like a bullet and ricocheted around your skull painfully. 
“Uggghhh…” You pull the covers further over your head. The small amount of light coming through your window was still too much for your pounding head. “Five more minutes…” While wallowing under the covers, you realize you didn’t actually see who entered your room. You quickly rip the covers off your head and open your eyes. 
“Aaaah!!” You screamed, startled out of your wits. 
“AAAHHHH!!” The Polar Bear screams back at you, somehow more startled than you were.
“Why are you yelling!?” You furrow your brow angrily.
“Why are you yelling!?!” 
“I just woke up to a fucking bear in my room! I’ve only been conscious for a few days! You can’t expect me to be used to that yet!” 
The bear’s expression relaxes. He straightens himself. 
“That’s fair… Well… The captain had me bring this for you…” The bear handed you a mug and held out his paw to drop something into your other hand. It was two small white pills. 
“What’s this?” Raising an eyebrow. 
“Coffee and aspirin. The captain said you’d have a headache.” 
You grab the coffee and slam the pills into your mouth. As much as you hated to admit he was right, you did have a headache. You finish the coffee in two big gulps and sat the cup down on your windowsill. 
Wait.
Shit. 
The captain. 
Law. 
As the sleep wears off and your mind clears, you start to remember the night before. You had gotten trashed and Law had found you in quite a state on his kitchen floor. He carried you back to bed. You cried. You asked him to stay with you. 
YOU ASKED HIM TO STAY WITH YOU?!
“Uggggh!” You flop backwards into your bed and pull the covers over your head again. “Why did I do that!” You groan again. 
“Um… was the coffee bad? I don’t think I burnt it this time but maybe I-“
“It’s not the coffee, bear guy! I made an ass of myself last night so I’m not training today. Tell your captain it’s off.” You remain under your blanket fort of shame. 
“Bepo.”
“What?” You uncover your face and cock an eyebrow. 
“My name is Bepo.” 
You throw your hands up. 
“Okay?!?!? Bepo, tell your captain I’m not training today.” You turn over on your side towards the window and away from your unwanted visitor. 
The bear chuckles. “Heh heh, oh no, I won’t be telling him that. You will. My captain is a nice guy but once his mind is set on something, there’s no way in hell I’m getting in the way of that. So if you want out, you have to tell him yourself.” The jumpsuit clad polar bear ducks his head through the doorframe to leave. Before disappearing from view, Bepo pops his head back in and calls out to you. 
“And take a shower. You smell like a bartender’s boot.”
You flop onto your stomach and whine pitifully. 
— — 
You slump against the wall of the shower and scrub your scalp. Your mind kept being forcefully dragged back to your embarrassing drunken plea to Law last night. You were brought out of your spiraling thoughts by your stomach contents threatening to make an appearance. You managed to pull yourself together and rinse the shampoo out of your hair. 
After stepping out of the shower, you wrap your body in a towel and make your way towards the vanity mirror. 
Stringy, damp hair plasters your face. You lean forward to inspect yourself further. Your eyes looked sunken in. You must have lost weight… you haven’t hadn’t appetite and the food the Heart Pirates served was less than gourmet. Your lips were cracked, a bruise on the left side of your forehead was yellowing as it finished healing. 
“Gods I look like the fucking dead.” You remark. “No I shouldn’t say that. I’m sure Brook looks way better than I do right now.” 
You sigh. You had none of your toiletries or makeup, just stuck with what Ikkaku was kind enough to share with you. It was sweet of her to offer to share, but she wasn’t as much of a “girly girl” as you were. You pull at the skin on your cheek to peruse your complexion. 
“At least this will be good for my skin…” 
After drying off, you pulled on a pair of leggings and a cropped sweatshirt. You brush out your hair and carefully plait it into a singular long braid. If this had been at home on The Sunny, you would have picked flowers from your garden to weave into your hair… Looking at your plain braid, you felt tears prick at your eyes again. 
No. 
No more crying. You were done crying. You needed to get stronger for your crew. You grab your blades and fasten them one to each hip. After one last look at yourself in the mirror, you push out of the bathroom and head to the exit of the base. 
— —
You open the large metal door of the base and your eyes had to adjust to the natural light. You felt like a deep sea creature breaching the surface of the waves for the first time. As your vision returns you see your new mentor leaning up against the fence that surrounded base. 
Law’s face is expressionless as he turns to face you. He eyes you up and down. 
“Where’s your jumpsuit?” Law asks. 
“Okay let’s start with, ‘Hi.’” You snap back. 
“Um. Hi back. Where’s your jumpsuit?” Law awkwardly responds before repeating his question.
“Where’s your jumpsuit?” You retort. 
“I’m the captain. I don’t have to wear one. The crew does.” 
“And I’m not on your crew.” You cock your head and narrow your eyes. 
Law remains stoic. He holds your gaze for a moment before turning around and walking towards the gate leading out of the complex. 
“Are you coming or not?” He calls without turning his stupid, hat clad head. 
You roll your eyes before trudging after him. 
— —
Law leads you through the forest to a large clearing. The entire walk was mostly silent other than his one request… that you stop humming. You also tripped over a branch and had to pick yourself up, since Law didn’t stop or even turn around when you fell. He muttered something along the lines of “uncoordinated…” and continued walking. The clearing was barren and the terrain was heavily worn. The edges of the area were littered with battered stumps and badly damaged trees. This was obviously where the Heart Pirates sparred. 
Law takes his place across the clearing from you. 
“So? How are we doing this?” You ask. 
“Well, I can’t train you until I assess where you’re already at in terms of skill.” Law unsheathes the large sword from it’s home on his back. “Show me what you’ve got.” 
You nod. You ready your blades and make your attack. You grit your teeth and prepare to strike your target. 
*THUD*
You collide head on with a tree. Where the hell…?
“Ow…” You rub the back of your neck before standing up and dusting yourself off. You reach for your blades but the moment you wrapped your hands around them your body was flung violently into the air. 
“AAaahh!!” 
Your body is whipped towards the center of the clearing and thrown hard down onto the ground. 
“Shit…” you groan. 
“That’s it? I thought the Straw Hats were supposed to be fearsome.” You lift your head and see Law standing above you with one side of his lips curled up into a faint smirk. 
You huff and launch yourself off the ground at your self-important mentor. Your double blades were immediately blocked by Law’s massive sword. You were pressing with all your might and it seemed he was barely breaking a sweat… was he only using one hand? You relinquish against his powerful blade and are blown backwards. 
“You don’t know shit about me.” You spit on the ground. “Or my crew.” You raise your weapons again. 
“I know enough.” Law responds apathetically. 
You hated him. This smug degenerate was belittling not only you, but your whole crew. Where the hell did he get off, berating you after the trauma you’ve experienced? You’re seething with anger. 
You attack again. 
Missed. 
You turn around and launch towards Law again. 
Blocked. 
You scream in frustration. This continues for what seems like an eternity. Your heartbeat is in your ears and you can barely breathe, you’re so exhausted. You drop to your knees. 
“I know you have devil fruit powers but don’t use them.” Law calls from across the clearing. Suddenly in a blue flash he disappears. A pebble tumbles where he previously was. 
“Why?” 
You jump. Law was right behind you. Before you could process his presence, he delivers a blow to your back that bowls you over into the dirt face forward. 
You roll onto your back. What a fucking asshole. You wipe the salty, metallic taste of blood and sweat from your lips. You couldn’t help but chuckle. 
“hah… I thought you knew enough…” You spit up at him. 
“Get up. If you’re already beat then there’s no use in training you. Lost cause.” He walks to the edge of the clearing again and faces you. 
“You’re such a fucking dick.” You chuckle again, head swimming from fatigue. You had to keep going. Luffy asked you to get stronger, so stronger you would get. You certainly wouldn’t give Trafalgar Law, professional prick, the satisfaction of besting you this easily. 
You rise to your feet and pick up your blades. 
“You want to play hard ball? Fine.” You taunt. You were so tired, but you decided you had to go for broke. You use your limited transformative to spread your wings. They were stiff and sore from the previous trauma from your incident, but it almost felt good to use them again. They were jet black with a claw on each wingtip. They were menacing to anyone else, but merely a larger target for your current opponent. 
You’re on him in a second, for the first time catching him off guard, but your blades failed to do any sort of damage on Law’s hardened skin before you’re blown back again. You take no time to launch another attack, determined to make Law eat his words. 
The two of you flitted around the clearing locked in battle, neither of you relenting. You felt your biceps trembling and spasming… it was too much… 
Your arms gave out. Your blades clattered to the dirt. 
*SHHHHNK* 
“I’m not done… I can still- wait-…?” You try to push yourself back up but something isn’t working. You look down to your hip. Your right leg was gone. 
“MY FUCKING LEG? Why isn’t it bleeding? What the fuck? LAW?” You look around in panic to find your adversary. Your eyes don’t find Law, but they find your right leg, casually resting in the dirt 6 yards away.
“Fucking Gods, my leg?!” You scream. 
“Shambles.” 
*WOOOOOSH* 
You feel an uncomfortable *pop* at your hip. Your neck snaps down again to look at your body. Your leg had been seamlessly reattached to your torso as if none of this ever happened. You panic and scramble backwards, away from this sick man. 
“You… you cut my fucking leg off…” You gasp out, still in shock. 
“I let you have it back. A real enemy might not be as generous.” Law moves towards you. 
“You’re fucking sick. You’re a sick mother fucker. You’re fucking crazy. I’m not staying here. I’m leaving. I’m packing my shit and I’m leaving. I don’t care what Luffy said anymore. I can find someone else. You’re insufferable.” You clumsily rise to your feet after having your leg reattached. 
“And where will you go?” Law responds. 
“Anywhere. Anywhere other than here.” You spit. 
“You have no idea where you are, Miss Rito. With those weathered wings there’s no way you could make it more than 10 miles. You’d be dead before you even began.” 
Your heart races in your chest, the familiar feeling of being trapped seeps in. 
In between labored breaths, you huff out…
“I am not your fucking prisoner.” 
You turn away from Law and start to head in the direction of the base camp. 
“How long were you with Grey Jaw?” 
There was a moment so silent you could hear a leaf hit the ground. 
He didn’t really say that, it was another dream, right? Your eyes gazed blankly into the forest before you turned around towards the clearing. 
“What?” You asked. 
“The brand. On your stomach.” Law nodded towards your abdomen. “Grey Jaw’s girls. I’ve seen it before."
“Why… why are you…” You mutter mostly to yourself, but loud enough for Law to hear you. 
“I’ve put some of those girls back together. Literally. I know what he does on that ship.” Law adds. 
“You couldn’t ever fucking know.” You spit back without even thinking. “You couldn’t ever fucking understand what we went through on that ship. That man creates monsters… and when he’s done with them…” You catch a sob in your throat and choke it back down.
“He made you eat it, didn’t he? The Devil Fruit? Kept you there?” Law interjects. 
“You fucking-“ 
You impulsively reach up to smack Law across the face. He grabs your wrist.
Your vision began to turn red, all you could see was Law’s emotionless face above you. His face made your heart swell with anger. How dare he bring up Grey Jaw? He was ignoring your time as an accomplished pirate to focus on the years you spent as as slave aboard Grey Jaw’s maritime brothel. 
“Say it to me again.” You growl out at Law before you lose consciousness. 
— —
“Yes, Captain?” Bepo appears in the door frame of his Captain’s office. 
“Go and fetch Miss Rito if she’s awake. I’d like her in my office as soon as possible.” Law orders his first mate. 
“Aye aye, Captain... Wait, did something happen to your eyebrows? They look burnt...” 
"Nothing happened. Do ask I asked."
As Bepo leaves the office, Law pulls a large textbook off one of his many worn bookshelves and brings it over to his desk. He feels the side of it for his book mark, once finding it he cracks open the tome and leaves it on a certain page. 
Law sits in his desk chair and waits. 
*knock knock*
“You asked for me…?” Daisy reluctantly enters the office. Law hadn’t spoken to her since their training session.
“Yes. Sit.” Law commands as he gestured towards the chair across from his at the desk. 
Daisy sits, clearly uncomfortable. 
“I want you to look at this book.” Law turns the textbook to face Daisy in her seat opposite his. “Tell me which devil fruit you ate.” 
Daisy looks up at him with daggers in her eyes. “I’m not fucking doing this.” She spits. 
“I’m merely asking. I have it down to 2 that might be what you’ve eaten. Look at these.” Law pushes the book adorned with post-it markers towards Daisy. 
Daisy refuses to break eye contact. 
“Wait… what happened to your eyebrows?” Daisy asked, noticing their sudden sparseness. 
“Nothing. Look at the page.” Law impatiently gestures at the book. 
Daisy raises her eyebrows in questions before she lowers her gaze to inspect the textbook. 
“Nope.” Daisy remarks after a few moments. 
“What?” Law furrows his sparse brow and cocks his head. 
“I didn’t eat these. Any of these…” Her eyes scan the rest of the page beyond what Law had bookmarked. 
Law sits up in his chair. 
“… you’re sure…?” Law asks. 
“Obviously. I’m not a fucking idiot. I know what I ate.” Daisy snaps back. 
Law rubs his eyes with a tattooed hand. 
D, E, A, T, H.
“Go to bed. We train again tomorrow.” Law states from his desk. Before he finished rubbing his eyes, Daisy was out the door.

Herkie, son of Hercules and Megara, Headcanons:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Made this for @askauradonprep and @disneyandthefamilybusiness since they're right about Herkie being mostly forgotten by the fandom.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Herkie is just a nickname: his full actual name is Hyllus Amphitryon Tiryn-Theban-Athanasiou of Argolis.
Theme song: ‘What doesn't kill you Makes you stronger’ by Kelly Clarkson.
He often visits his mortal grandparents and helps out around their house—also running errands for them (while also avoiding running errands for his grandpa Zeus as much as possible).
He glows faintly in the sun.
He has his ears pierced.
Herkie is closer to his mortal grandparents than his immortal ones.
His favorite cousins are Hadie and Elle.
He is the middle child. Belonging to a huge immediate family consisting of twelve siblings—including six older siblings and four younger.
Eight of these are brothers named: Therimachus, Telephus, and Tlepolemus (27), Creontiades (24),Ophitius (23), Alexiares and Anicetus (17), and Deicoon (4).
Four of these are sisters named: Eucleia (19), Macarla and Manto (12), and Pandaie (2).
He's fifteen years old in d1.
Herkie has many cousins including but not limiting to: Tsunami, Míngzé, Reyna, Wilhelm, Arabella, Cordelia, Avisa, Flip, Shelly, Finn, Fluke, Nessie, Harmony, Elle, Mal, Hadie, Uma, Jonas, and Edith. That's not even getting the many aunts and uncles and other relatives he has,
He is a part of Belle's book club.
His Auratube subscriptions are mainly Vks and his tourney buddies with few exceptions.
Herkie is very supportive of most of his cousins. Though that doesn't mean he doesn't annoy them at times, lol.
He often mediates when the others (like Mal and Uma) get into fights and can/will restrain them if things get violent.
Herkie isn't big on magazines but he does have a subscription for one: Hero's Health. It's one of the few Auradon magazines he reads often.
He was quite a fan of the Evil Isle channel and was rather disappointed when Beast took it off air. He wanted to see what happened next on Wharf Watch, after all.
After this, Herkie's new favorite show was 'The Great Auradon Bake Off'. A close second was 'Real Princesses Of Charmingsville.'
He also watches the sports' channel, of course.
Herkie often pays Gil and Evie extra when they have to repair his clothes/readjust his measurements do to another growth spurt/rip because it happens quite often and he feels both guilty and embarrassed about it.
His favorite candy is Tongue Tinglers.
His favorite social media is Royallr.
He's got a secret goat tattoo.
He is dating Esmeralda and Phoebus's daughter, Emile (an oc of either @descendants-extended or @cleverqueencommander , can't remember which).
Herkie loves Hadie's band 'The Living Tombstones' but he also quite enjoys Diego's band 'the Bad Apples' and 'The Dragon Slayers.'
His favorite song is 'Take Back The Knight'.
Herkie goes to Auradon Prep and is apart of the Auradon Tourney Team, making him a Auradon Fighting Knight.
He has a blue truck.
In the Rise of the Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel, Herkie accidentally sent Carlos flying across the field with a fist bump on the shoulder.
According to the wiki, Herkie is the son of Hercules and Megara and one of the players of the Tourney team, being one of the strongest offensives due to inheriting his gift of strength from his father Hercules. This means he's likely The Center Forward— who are described as 'by far the most offensive player who leads the charge into the opposing team's side, and blocks almost as much as Defenders'. Probably a back up (There are eleven members present during 'did I mention' despite the fact the wiki says there's only seven members on a team. And seeing as he's not labeled in this post, he was likely sick that day).
And seeing as he wasn't assigned a jersey number to my knowledge, I'm assigning him the number 97.
He visited Olympus High exactly once before deciding he did not want to attend (Unlike some of his older siblings).
He was born on June 13th.
Unbeknownst to both his parents, he is a frequent customer at "Hades' Souvlaki" once the barrier is brought down. He is also a big fan of Dr. Facilier's Arcade.
His younger sister, Macarla, is in band and his other sister, Manto, is a cheerleader. They both go to Auradon Prep alongside him.
Herkie is a friendly, mostly laid back guy who's smarter and more sarcastic than he's given credit for.
He is very close to his parents, particularly his mom.
One day, he and his mom ran into a lost Hadie (who didn't know who they were) and helped him find Mal and Ben.
His favorite teachers are Coach Jenkins and Grumpy, also being fond of Lil' Shang when he was still an assistant Coach at Auradon Prep. To no one's surprise, he does not like Mr. Deley. But to many's surprise, he doesn't like Merryweather.
Meg has cursed Mr. Deley out before.
He loves the seaside and Heroes and Heroines Festivals but hates Ancestry Day, for obvious reasons.
Herkie hates it when people dismiss his mortal grandparents as not being his family. If you want him to hate you, that's a sure way to do it.
He calls Phil his uncle.
When Herkie was younger he fell off of Pegasus and broke his arm. As a result, he developed a deep fear of them that he hasn't quite gotten over yet.
He also loves Auradon's Three Legged Races.
It goes without saying that he's a big fan of Tourney. Though, it may come as a surprise to learn that he doesn't like R.O.A.R (and no, it's not because he sucks at sword fighting, shut up Aziz).
He's close friends with Aziz, Demurra Foxworth, Anxelin, William Darling, Tyrone and Nina ( @cleverqueencommander 's oc children of Tiana and Naveen), and Brendan Westergaard-La Bouf.
His best friend is Ruby Fitzherbert though.
He is also a fan of archery, Doomball, and Foul ball though.
Herkie is a terrible dancer and singer.
He used to see the fates and the muses when he was younger—and it scared his parents to death.
His two favorite non sport games are Knock 'N Down, Win A Crown and Crown of Duty.
He had a pet lion named 'Neme' that followed him home one day and wouldn't stay gone when brought back to where he belonged.
He has reddish brown hair and purple eyes. His favorite colors are purple and blue.
As a kid, he had a stuffed goat and a pegasus baby blanket (he still does he just refuses to admit it).
He can play the lute.
Herkie, like his dad, also struggled with learning to control his own strength as a kid but luckily, he was around a lot of other demigods a lot of the time, so he wasn't as isolated as his dad was.
He is good at accidentally intimidating his friends/family members' significant others upon first meeting but is a big teddy bear in reality and one of the more welcoming people in the family.
He loves the ocean and hates flying.
Herkie is fond of the Badun Detective Agency and is thankful for the eye they've kept on his younger cousins (Edith, Paro, and Hadie) so he tends to defend them around others.
He has a weird sense of humor that is a mix between dark humor and the silliest jokes you've ever heard.
-----------------------------------------------------------
He is fun at parties (but doesn't drink/do drugs because he's scared of accidentally hurting someone).
Herkie won't admit it but he's afraid of lightning/thunder, spiders, heights, and needles.
Oh and he's super sensitive to dust and pollen. The sneezing fits are not fun (nor were the tantrums he threw when he was very little).
He loves sparring with Uma and Mal.
His favorite classes are cooking, gym, History of Woodsmen and Pirates, and art.
Herkie flunked his Flying Carpet Driving Class but passed his Mermaid Language Arts class with flying colors.
He has a mini library in his room consisting of the Flynn Ryder book series, The Top Secret Villain files, Secrets of Auradon Prep, Uma’s Wicked Book, Vks’ Guide to Auradon Prep, Sidekick Life and Hero Health Magazines, various cooking, art, and history books, and his various year books, among others.
The brunette helps people find lost pets/get things off of high shelves/off roofs/out of trees.
Last but not least, he wears a shield necklace.
If anyone has any canon info about him, or any headcanons of their own, feel free to add!

my camp half blood oc ^_^
Tumblr media
YALL SHES ADORABLE
her name is odette van schmidt and she’s a child of dionysus 😇
her story is actually rlly funny tbh. makes me crack up a bit. so here it is
basically dionysus met her mum (a rich socialite) at a party she was throwing for the opening of an art gallery, and it was getting late so everyone was going home. odettes mum looked over at dionysus and was like ‘omfg these old geezers r soooo boring. wanna hit the club?’ and dionysus was like ‘have my baby’ SO SHE DID.
9 months later she gave birth to odette van schmidt: the lying, unstable (possible future addict), drama queen JOY of dionysus.
by the time odette turned 14, her mum was like ‘right. this girl needs to get her ass to boarding school’ bc she could not stop CAUSING A RUCKUS. she was a menace during important parties and events- not because she wasn’t good at parties; but because they weren’t fun. while her mum agreed with her, she had grown out of her party girl phase and had to settle down.
well, odette didn’t fight her mums decision to send her to boarding school. after all, that’s where the craziest shit happens, doesn’t it? especially in new york.
so imagine this: odette van schmidt, the pretty girl with weird eyes and designer clothes CHOWING DOWN ON SPECIAL BROWNIES WITH HER ROOMMATE WHO LOOKS LIKE HOMELESS MAN IN A PRETTY GIRLS BODY.
odette could NOT stop getting into trouble. always sneaking off with her friends, partying her weekends away. by the age of 15 she had developed a pretty bad habit of taking a shot of vodka every sunday morning to get through the preachy ass mandatory services.
odettes mum had enough when she found out her daughter wasn’t taking her meds everyday at 8:00, and was instead lighting up at 4:20.
odettes mum had to call her baby daddy and tell him to pick her up for the summer. odette heard this call, and jumped to the conclusion she was getting sent to REHAB. so she ran.
she ran fast and fast and fast and fast. all the way from manhattan to queens.
ofc odette always saw weird shit. but she just always chalked it up to sleep deprivation, adhd, maladaptive daydreaming, and later in her teens: drug induced hallucinations.
after walking around new york aimlessly for 3 hours to escape rehab, her mum gave her a call.
“hey odette… can you come back home? bc ur lowkey a demigod and I WONT SEND YOU TO REHAB BABY IM SORRY I WONT ITS FINE YOU WERE ONLY SMOKING WEED ITS OKAY BABY-”
BOOM. hellhound right in the middle of the dingiest 7/11 in all of queens.
odette booked it- already terrified by what her mum said, and even more so by this terrifying dog thing.
she ran down at alleyway, hoping to escape the gross mangy dog, but she wasn’t fast or sharp enough to lose it or outsmart it. the hellhound attacked her from behind, ripping through the back of her shirt and leaving a scar that ran across the length of her back.
like that shit was BIG. like, from her neck down to her hipbone.
odette was vengeful thoguh. she was more angry than she was in pain, so she took out her pocketknife and started stabbing and punching that thing away. LIKE. HOW WOULD THAT EVEN PROTECT HER FROM A HELLHOUND??? but then the mutt started chasing its tail and howling like crazy, making it easier to put it down like an old dog.
and poof.
into thin air.
“alright what the fuck”
so there she lay- sitting and panting and wheezing in an alleyway, bleeding out. so she decided to pray,
“god i’m sorry for drinking on sundays! i’m sorry for using bible pages to roll! i’ll do anything to make it up to you!”
“girl, it’s fine.”
all of a sudden, there was this middle aged guy in front of her with the same eyes as her and the worst fashion sense she’d ever seen.
“i didn’t know jesus shopped at h&m…”
“jeez, you sound like ur mother.”
after 10 awkward seconds of silence, odette passed the fuck out. bc her back is a war zone. obviously.
when she woke up the next day, she was at the most rank hospital she’d ever been to. but all the doctors were cute. they were all blonde and spoke like poets and had such gentle hands. but they were wearing the most atrocious orange shirts.
good thing I’VE got STY-
odette looked down at herself. “are you fucking kidding me.”
orange was not her colour. it was purple.
after she got all healed up, two blonde 13 year olds who looked just like her arrived at the infirmary. “hiiiiii welcome to rehabbbbbbb”
“oh my god i’m actually going to kill myself”
castor and pollux eventually cleared up mostly everything about camp (after fucking around with their new older sister a bit more, of course), and proceeded to take her to get some food in her tall ass stomach.
she ate. and then she ate a bit more. and then she complained. and then she asked if her mum has her ‘crazy meds’. and then she asked for new clothes. and then she called her mummy and asked her for new clothes or perfume or anything. and then she walked over to the big house to complain about something again.
and as soon as she walked through the doors, screaming about how she can’t party with a torn up back- she was claimed.
“oh my gods odette. we have your stuff. its fine. it’s cool. you’re my daughter btw. and no drinking at camp.”
“… why would my mum fuck a guy who shops at h&m?”
“I DO NOT SHOP AT H&M, I AM A GOD-“
odette blanked. she wasnt really good at faces. much better with names. that’s what u get for being a history buff who can’t make eye contact i guess.
“… which one, sorry?”
“… dionysus?”
“oh. that checks out.”

Egg belongs to @cannivalisms
Mahal belongs to @wingsofhcpe
PROPAGANDA UNDER CUT
Egg
egg is not objectively or even subjectively sexy but that's what i think makes him so great for this competition. he is an 18 year old boy with severe abandonment issues and no powers in a world that largely relies on them. consequently, in order to stay both wanted and useful, he has taken to eating the corpses of people that this girl named eve kills, in order for them to not be traced back to her. keep in mind, eve did Not ask this of him: she just told him to give her a reason to keep him around, and this is the best thing egg came up with. because egg might seem silly, a little happy go lucky, a little dumb, but he still understands one thing: that no one can leave you if they've grown dependent on, or if they're afraid of, what you've become. which i personally just think is hot. Also here’s a bit of writing for him
Tumblr media
Mahal
Short info: tiefling boy, fighter, έχει ένα τεράστιο flirty toothy χαμόγελο αλλά τα ίδια δόντια μπορούν να κάνουν και... άλλα πράγματα (πάρτε το όπως θέλετε~)

4. Τρομερά angsty παρελθόν που τον είχαν σε τσίρκο για "διαβόλους" aka tieflings κ τον βασάνιζαν για spectacle ΚΑΙ ΕΠΙΣΗΣ προσπαθούσε να προστατεψει τη μικρή του αδερφή την οποία τελικά πήραν μακριά του και θεωρητικά σκότωσαν (spoilers: she's fine αλλά ο Μαχαλ δε το ξερει :((( )
5. Traumatised & deserves only good things
6. He loves throwing knives ✨️
7. Γουργουριζει αν τον ξύσεις ανάμεσα στα κέρατα 😇
8. Problematic fave γιατί θα έκανε κ έχει κάνει πολύ άσχημα πράγματα για να επιβιώσει ειδικά σε racist anti-tiefling fucks
9. Went on a brutal murder spree για να σώσει τον Αasimar bf του όταν τον έπιασε η αυτοκρατορία κ τον βασάνισε για info. My boy literally ripped throats out with his fangs for his man, true love.

!*~Valentine's Times~*! pt 4
A/N: This is all crack and just little things that popped into my head while making this fic that I couldn't find a place to put. Have fun! Word Count: 2.6K Warnings: She/They Pronoun OC, Swearing, Mild Spicy at the end, Word Vomit Crack Ideas Pairings: Poly Yuu/Azul/Jamil/Malleus, Riddle/Floyd, Jade/Trey, Ruggie/Leona, Epel/Deuce/Jack/Ace/Sebek, Sebek/Silver, Cater/Idia, Rook/Vil
L (Here). O (Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw, Octavinelle). V (Scarabia, Pomefiore, Ignihyde, Diasomnia). E (Here)
Tumblr media
E is even more than anyone that you adore...
Sam huffs, looking down at Grim as the dire beast struggled to drag his multiple bags of treats out of his store, “...You know for an extra fee-”
“NO! I DON'T NEED IT!”
“Alright then…” Sam grabs his own bag of chocolate, snapping a bones in half with his teeth. Sure watching Grim was slow and kinda sad, but it was a form of entertainment.
Tumblr media
Deuce entered the Heartslabyul kitchen, smiling as he saw Trey standing in front of the ovens, “Ah! Clover-Senpai you aren't busy. Yuu's here and they said they have something for us.”
Trey remained silence, eyes unblinking as they watched the numerous cakes in the oven.
“...” Deuce’s eyes glance at the ovens before turning back to Trey, “Clover-Senpai?” At Trey's continued silence Deuce grows worried. After a few more moments of silence he snaps his fingers in front of Trey’s face, nearly jumping out of his skin as Trey suddenly breathes in.
Trey blinks rapidly, looking around the room, “Huh? What? Deuce?...What did you need?”
“Were you asleep!?”
“No…ok, I was resting my eyes. But, I have a timer set.”
“Senpai, your eyes were open…”
Tumblr media
Riddle knelt below a second story window of Heartslabyul, fiddling with a tube at his feet.
Trey walked from the side, “Ah, there you are. The party is starting. Do you want to greet the other students?”
Looking up, Riddle sighed at seeing the number of bite marks littering Trey’s arms and neck, “I see you gifted Jade his chocolate.”
“He was…excited. Are you going to be giving Floyd his chocolate?”
“Was just about to.” Riddle smiles, holding up the tube to reveal it was a tshirt cannon with his bag of chocolate as the ammo.
“...Riddle, just give Floyd the chocolate.”
Riddle lines up his shot, aiming directly at Floyd's head where he stood pouting beside his brother teasingly holding his own treats, “This is the only safe way…”
Tumblr media
Rook smiles at Vil's bag of chocolate, “I wasn't aware mon vieille amor could tie such intricate knots! Truly beautiful.”
Vil hums from his vanity, toying with having his hair up or down, “Oh…no. Tulip did the bows apparently…”
“...” Rook racked his mind, but the name wasn't finding a face, “Tulip?”
“You don't remember Tulip?” Vil looked questioningly at Rook through the mirror, “Do you recall our first ‘date'?”
“Oui! We went for a lovely walk through the Pomefiore woods at sunset….”
“And you remember what happened on said date?”
Rook sighed, placing his cheek in his palm as he remembered that faithful walk, “Oui… a bird flew out from the bush and in its panic attacked you. A thousand apologies that I could not protect you back then mon roi…”
“You've long been forgiven Rook. But yes…‘A bird’ flew into my face and basically assaulted me while also managing to rip off a noticeable length of my uniform.” 
“So, how does this Tulip fit into this?”
“Tulip was the ‘bird’…”
Tumblr media
Jade made sure to keep his palm open, though he so deeply wanted to clench his fist around the forage fairy. A desperate voice in his head (that sounded oddly similar to Trey Clover) screamed that forage fairies did not like being gripped. But, he wanted to know what the fairy would do if he did…no…he had riddles to solve.
Riddles that were quickly sidetracked by Jade showing the fairy his assortment of terrariums, the fairy excitedly pointing at the mushrooms. But soon, Jade remembered the promised location of the unseen mushrooms. Franklin looked at him with a wide eyed stare, only to gestured to his phone.
Jade gave the device to the small fairy. Clearly the fairy was going to use a text program to write out the riddles since they weren't able to communicate verbally. But, looking at his phone from the corner of his eyes he had to fight back the urge to cackle. Franklin was using his phone to google ‘Riddles for Children’.
Tumblr media
Malleus beamed from his place at the table. He had no idea why Jamil was scolding Azul, but he was content with his grouping of lovers.
Azul clears his throat, finally verbally lashed into submission, “Any how. Yuu, we have your gifts.”
“Bout time.”
“Stop being rude.” Jamil hands Yuu a wrapped present. Watching them open it with a nervous eye.
Yuu opens the gift to be delighted. A set of bangles, each molded to resemble snakes whined into a loose loop, “I love them!” They slip the bangles on, instantly shaking their wrist around to hear them jingle, “Now you can hear me coming.”
Azul mutters under his breath, “Thank the Seven…anyhow here's my gift.”
Massive teardrop pearl earrings dangling from seashell themed clasps. Yuu hums, holding them closer to look at every detail, “I need an outfit to go with these earrings you know~.”
“Yes, yes. I'm aware.” Azul smiles, looking to the side, “I've already selected a few outfits.”
Jamil raises an eyebrow, clicking his tongue when Azul only teasingly smiles at him.
Malleus smiles, proudly presenting his gift to Yuu. Waiting patiently as they opened it. 
“...Malleus, I love you so much, but I can't wear this.”
“Why not?” Malleus pouted, eyebrows furrowing in both confusion and discontent.
Yuu reaches into the box, pulling out an ornate tiara themed after the dark fae covered in glittering gems, “Malleus, the person I will become if I put this on my head is an actual danger to the well being of people around us.”
Azul leaned over the table, eyes wide as he drank in every gem on the crown. Jamil hiss whispered to Malleus, “We agreed on simple jewelry.”
“It is. This is one of my grandmother's less formal tiaras.”
Tumblr media
Idia and Cater sat in a hidden corner of the maze, a few turns away from the main party. They sat in silence, each with an arm entwined as they tapped away at their phones. Cater hums, holding his phone to catch Idia’s attention.
“Look babe. An artist I follow did a Valentine's pic of that character you like.”
Idia’s eyes widen, a smile pulling across his face, “Ah…send me the link. I have to save that pic. It's so hard to find people who can draw his hair right…”
Cater chuckles and sends the link, “Well his hair is literally just water, it kind of leaves it open to how ever you draw water…”
“Ok, but it's literally-”
They both jump at the sound of loud, cackling laughter and the sound of snapping branches. Cater untensing first as he recognized the sound of his housewarden demanding Floyd cease his actions, “Guess Floyd finally caught Riddle…”
“Idk how you deal with this level of wild every day. I would have crumbled from the constant social crits…”
From their tucked away corner, the two could see a smug looking Floyd sporting a black eye walking through the maze. A ruffled and leaf covered Riddle slung over his shoulder like a prized hunt.
Cater sighs, leaning to rest his head against Idia’s shoulder and intertwine their hands together; pretending to not notice his boyfriend’s hair turning a bright shade of pink, “You get used to it.”
Tumblr media
Maleficia stared into the box. A Valentine's gift from the human child her grandson had fallen for. Odd, yet not fully unwelcomed. No matter what the council said, this could only be seen as a sign of goodwill and hope for a strong familiar bond in their future.
So she put on the gaudily colored ring, its stone massive yet illy cut. The girl was poor, it was most likely the best she could afford and Maleficia will praise her efforts. But the ring also gave off a sugary fruit smell, one that (shamefully) urged her to bring the ring to her mouth and lick it.
She exclaims in surprise, turning to one of the maids beside her. With a smile she lifts her hand, showing the servant the brightly red gemmed ring on her finger, “It tastes of candied cherries.”
Tumblr media
Jamil buried his face in his hands, “You sent the reigning queen of Briar Valley a Ring Pop.”
“A cherry Ring Pop. Because she's worth it.” Yuu turns to Malleus, the fae clearly delighted by the very idea of his grandmother being gifted children's candy, “I thought blue raspberry, but that might have been too wild for her.”
“Blue raspberries in the valley are poisonous. So, yes, that would have been a bad idea.
Azul pushes up his glasses, “Well now I want to know what you sent my mother…”
“A bunch of those octo truffles I made you. Plus a note stating that was how many grandkids we were gonna make.”
Azul spurts, barely catching Malleus’s approving hum and Jamil’s small nod, “Yuu!”
“What? I know what that woman wants to hear. It's literally why she tried to trick you into proposing already.”
Jamil rolls his eyes, “What did you send my family?”
“Oh I sent Najma and your dad some really high end chocolates Kalim recommended. Your mom got a delightful edible arrangement of chocolate dipped persimmons.”
“...” Jamil squinted his eyes, frown deepening at Yuu, “My mom hates persimmons…”
Yuu nods, “ I know. But she doesn't know I know that.”
“Stop engaging in psychological warfare with my mother…”
“No. It's how we bond”
Tumblr media
“Father, please.”
Lilia pouted, almost fully folding his face in half, “Another year…another trip around the sun…another season with no love from my precious boy…”
Silver sighs, looking to the side, “Father those cards weren’t even good.”
“I miss when you were a baby…”
Kalim appeared at their table, “Lilia! I have a gift for you!” He produced a glitter filled piece of construction paper, “Since you said you missed getting them, I made you a homemade Valentine!”
“...” Lilia fanned his face, crocodile tears appearing in the corner of his eyes, “Oh Kalim…you persona of the sun…You’ve eased my heart…”
Silver leans over to whisper, “Truly, thank you for this. He was becoming insufferable.”
“You’re welcome?”
Tumblr media
“I see the Leech got you.”
Riddle scowled up at Leona, his hair a mess and leaves scattered in his hair, “He tackled me into a bush…”
“Maybe little guys like you shouldn’t be fucking such big predators?”
“I don’t think size is the problem.” Riddle smirked up at Leona’s questioning glare.
“The hell does that mean?”
“I’ve just noticed that Bucchi has gold dust on his hands.”
“And?”
“Oh, so you are unaware of the gold hand prints on the seat of your pants.”
“...”
Tumblr media
Rook tilted his head, staring as Vil glared at a single chocolate crown, “Mon roi? Is there a problem with your chocolates?”
“I know Yuu…something is wrong with these though I don’t know how much they’ve messed with them…” Vil hummed under his breath before smiling. He waves Epel over, ignoring the lavender haired boy groaning and leaving his table.
“What?”
Vil hands Epel the crown in his hand, “Happy Valentine’s Day. Have fun with your boys.”
Epel raises an eyebrow, but smiles and moves to toss the whole chocolate into his mouth, “Don’t gotta tell me twice…” He only chews for a few moments before his face sours and he starts to hack and spit the chocolate out, “Why is this filled with mayo!?”
Vil smirks at Rook, “And that’s how you out smart a trickster…” He puts another crown into his mouth, scowling and instantly spiting it out into a napkin when he bites into another mayo filled chocolate.
Rook smiles, batting his eyelashes, “I’ve learned so much.”
Tumblr media
Yuu looked at their boyfriends, “What are you guys doing later tonight? I would have thought you’d be trying to convince me to do a private dinner with you.”
Jamil raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t you tell us, and I quote, ‘I love you guys, but leave me the fuck alone after the Valentine’s day party’?”
“Well I still thought you’d try to convince me.”
Azul pushes up his glasses, a small smile on his face as his pride pushed through, “We’re all having a private dinner at the lounge.”
“...” Yuu beams, hands slapping against the table, “Are you guys going on a date? Without me!?”
Malleus laughs, bringing a hand to his mouth, “You sound so excited…”
“I am!” They giggle, cupping their cheeks, “Aw~ My boyfriends are going on a date with each other!”
Jamil shook his head, “If the me of a year could see me now, I would not believe this was how my life would end up…”
Azul smiles, placing a hand over Jamil’s, “Our lives.”
“Azul, I could end both of us, right here, right now.”
Tumblr media
Epel chugged his drink, trying to erase the taste of mayo.
Deuce raised an eyebrow to Sebek, “Are you going to sit with us the whole party? I know you and Silver are together, too.”
Sebek nodded, one hand holding onto Jack’s hand, “There’s no need to worry. Silver and I made out for an hour and cuddled before we left for the party.”
Ace tilted his head, offering Epel a chocolate from their shared pile of gifted treats, “The fact you and Silver have your relationship down to a schedule is so…weird…”
“How is it weird? I have my time between you four and Silver perfectly balanced. I’m able have plenty of dates with you all and a majority of my Diasomnia hours are spent with Silver. Healthy balance.”
Epel finished his drink, grabbing the chocolate and chewing with his mouth open, “Sebek, honestly, the fact you’re managing to fuck and have a relationship with five people while also having good grades? You’re a fucking god.”
Ace clicks his tongue, “What like we’re not doing the same thing?”
Jack speaks up, “Aren’t you failing english?”
Tumblr media
Ortho sat at a table, eyes creased in joy as his brother and Cater returned from their ‘social recharge’. The First Year crew had each giving his a kiss on his forehead or cheek. Giving him a new total of  ten kisses counting both Kalim and Lilia’s added kisses. Looking around the party, ortho quickly floated to Rook and Vil, “Vil Schoenheit! May I request something of you?”
Vil blinked, “Of course Ortho. What did you need?”
“May I please have a Valentine’s day kiss? I am hoping to collect one from all of my loved ones on campus.”
Rook gasps, smiling as he held his hands up, “How bold! May I gift you a kiss Monsieur Wonder?”
“We are not that close.”
Both Rook and Vil stifled their laughs, “Fair.”
Vil smiles, tucking his hair back as he leaned over and pressed a kiss to the center of Ortho’s forehead, leaving behind a plum colored kiss mark, “There you are. One kiss of affection.”
“Thank you! I will leave you both to your date!”
Vil waved, “I’ll see you at the club meeting this weekend.”
Tumblr media
The party lasted longer than Yuu had expected it to. But soon everyone had vacated the Heartslabyul garden and gone on to finish or start their own private Valentine’s Day plans. Yuu returned home, smiling at seeing Grim passed out on the lounge couch surrounded by a pile of opened and half eaten snacks. They took the time to make sure he was cozily wrapped in a blanket (and not in danger of dying in his sleep via throwing up and choking on the atomic amount of junk food) before going to their bedroom.
Just as Sam had stated their package was on their bed, a plain brown box with no indication of where or what it was. Yuu smiled, opening it and seeing the plethora of sex toys they had carefully picked and purchased, “Self-love is true love…”
Tumblr media
Two in love can make it. Take my heart and please don't break it. Cause L.O.V.E. was made for me and you~

massive art dump of yuuna :3
Tumblr media
this is one of my two yuu ocs. my first one in fact!
their name is yuuna :D
i'll have an official intro post for them and for my other yuu oc (yuusha tala) when i finally finish them
anyways i just want to dump all the art i did for them a while ago all in this one post.
also i'll ramble a lot—
Tumblr media
leona and yuu (referenced poses: 1 / 2)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
idk they just have a silly (non-romantic) relationship
Tumblr media
riddle and yuu (referenced poses: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
shout out to my short king, RIddle Rosehearts
yuuna isn't supposed to be that much taller than Riddle 😭
it was only supposed to be slightly
(audio from ohshc bloopers here)
this was funnier in my head tbh
i initially gave them haruhi from ohshc's as a voice claim because i wanted yuuna to sound androgynous (and because ohshc has a special place in my heart)
also theyre just losing their mind studying theyre very dumb (affectionate)
Tumblr media
so i was listening to "The Joker and The Queen" (by Ed Sheeran ft. Taylor Swift)
and i have a tendency to put one single song on repeat when doing artwork
and i made this. i am happy with it because i like doing fluffy, good-feeling art :3
(but oml, i love riddle's outfit but drawing it SO much work so im pretty happy with how it turned out)
Tumblr media
jamil and yuu (poses referenced: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hey guys i think i might have a favorite.
(i also rambled about these in particular more here)
Tumblr media
yuu, grim, ace, deuce
Tumblr media
hghgnfdhj i honestly have mixed feelings about this one.
on one hand, i think it's really sweet and cute. on the other, it looks hella awkward bc it's one of my first fanarts for twst 💀
Tumblr media
yuuna sprites
so uhhh i made... sprites for yuuna
i did a lot
(they're not really in the "twst art style" bc i don't have THAT kind of patience, plus it takes less time and i will die if i don't get every idea out of my brain)
━━━━━━✦ school uniform
Tumblr media
yuuna is a choker and fingerless gloves person
this was when i had zero idea how the nrc uniforms worked
but honestly i still don't fully dislike it
━━━━━━✦ pe uniform
Tumblr media
the idea for this one is that at first yuuna was wearing the outfit on the right before they officially got their pe uniform on the left
but they still use the one on the right outside of class
━━━━━━✦ labwear
Tumblr media
i have nothing to stay ack
this is probably the one i had the least problems with bc it's so straightforward
━━━━━━✦ ceremonial robes
Tumblr media
oh my god i was so happy when i finished this
i love how it turned out
i had to pull the patterns from the official game assets (thank you alchemivich we'll miss you 🙏) and mess around with it A LOT to get it right
━━━━━━✦ sleep wear turtleneck hoodie
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
these are just some of their personal outfits
sleep wear is self-explanatory
turtleneck is just a casual outfit
the hoodie was during their janitor era. and i headcanon is that the hoodie is something they found in ramshackle and decided to keep it.
━━━━━━✦ port wear silk adorned
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i love how the port wear turned out overall but oml i gave up on some of the little details
for the silk outfit AAA it took me forever BUT i'm so happy with how it turned out i tried to every single pattern by hand, i had to simplify a few things
i had to *COUGH COUGH* trace over some accessories and patterns though to get it right ;;;
━━━━━━✦ glorious masquerade
Tumblr media
i was going for a musketeer sort of vibe with this one!
i wanted it to be similar to grim's as well with the ripped cape and the big feather hat
the mask was supposed to be cat-like but i'm kinda unhappy with it, idk how to do masks 💀
━━━━━━✦ halloween I halloween II
Tumblr media
went so hard on the spider/witch motif on this one. and again i made it similar to grim's
since technically it was the ghosts who gave them the outfit, i imagined that it would be cobweb-based because they said they just took stuff around the dorm to make the outfits (???)
but yeah that's the idea :3
(also i imagined during halloween 2 malleus was like "i think your halloween outfits would be better in green" so that's why grim's ribbon went from purple to green like that one scene in sleeping beauty with the fairies)
Tumblr media
augh deuce :(
i was inspired by this line by deuce's starsending vignette to make this homesick yuu mini comic below
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(anyways just wanted to dump all these here. thank you if you've read this far :D)
