🌊Love And Guests🌊

Pairing: Aonung x reader

PART TWO: HERE

Summary: Aonung has put out your usual sass with his recent flirting and it’s driving you insane. When he finally gets to speak with you alone as he shows off his spear throwing expertise it gets heated quickly

Warnings: Sexual tension and heated word choices, no smut but it gets close, mention of genitals

Word Count: 3.1K

A/N: No updates, I’m getting back into writing after months of breaks so I’m sorry if i’m rusty. Also I feel like it goes without saying that Aonung is of age in all of my writing. I am not just writing about a minor, you are close in age. 19 years old.

┕━»•» 🌺 «•«━━━━━┙

"I still don't know why you think it's better that I teach you instead of my brother", Tsireya warmly suggested as she handed you a beginner's spear to practice with.

"Because I want to learn from the best", was all you managed to say as you took the spear in your hands and inspected it with wandering hands.

The real reason you were so eager to meet up with Tsireya instead of Aonung was laughable. Aonung had been playing a dangerous game with your feelings, making you feel a way you shouldn't to fuel your thoughts about the chief's son. Avoiding the brat to the best of your abilities for weeks now was the only way you could fight the fact you were slowly starting to become infatuated with the boy that was growing into a young man.

He had become cocky now that he was of age, and while he still had a few years of learning left before becoming chief, it had become clear his training was making him more and more defined. The way his body moved with every hearty laugh or every faux wrestling match with his friends drove you up the wall, so you decided it was best to try and stop seeing him altogether.

However, this was becoming a challenge as he had recently decided to spend more of his free time harassing you than anyone else. It was very confusing, as you thought you had put this bullying behind you when you were children. That could easily be forgotten, though, as he was indeed still the next leader, and that could explain his rudeness, but what couldn't be helped was the blush that overgrew you every time he towered over you with that smirk that he didn't know affected you in such unforgiving ways.

"Well, thank you, I'm flattered", she giggled, then continued, "but Aonung is the top in the clan at spear throwing, and he's not gonna be happy if he finds out you asked me instead of him", she never felt bad for her brother. Still, when it came to the matter of his undying yet, painfully expressed crush on you, she felt merciful.

You scoffed, squaring yourself next to her as you looked towards the targets drawn on the ground.

The target range for spear-throwing was closer to the village than any of the other training areas because you needed the clear ground to allow a large windup for hurling the stick through the air. It was still private, which you enjoyed because you had a feeling this was going to be an embarrassingly miserable display of physical prowess.

The targets were set up in the distance and made up of 3 circles of fine white sand sprinkled in precise shapes on the ground. Tsireya had already collected the sand earlier in the day and laid out the rings in exchange for you to be the one that churned the sand into the dirt when you were done so the next person who came to train could easily set up the rings and get started.

"I don't think I could handle his smugness at having me asking him a favor", you smiled at her, holding up the spear like you had seen Aonung and his friends do when they came here to learn when you were younger.

It was the truth. Honestly, you wouldn't have been able to handle his smug looks or laugh or the fact that to teach you meant one on one time by yourselves. You would prefer being lectured by Ronal, and that was saying something.

She nodded, trying to copy you as she held up the pointed end of the spear into the air, getting herself ready to fling the wooden spike. The artillery was too large for her, and you watched in curiosity as she heaved it up a little higher with a grunt.

"Alright, so what you want to do is pull back and using your back leg, you want to push--" she was cut off by the sound of laughter in the near vicinity. Before she could resume her instructions, you heard the sound of foliage and leafs being broken as a group of four boys emerged into the clearing, each of them but one with their spears by their side.

Aonung was still laughing at something Rotxo had said, but when he looked up and saw you, with your arms still raised as his sister mirrored you, he felt his heart skip a beat and his face light up with delight.

You cursed under your breath and dropped the stick like it was a venomous snake, instantly turning around to hide your slightly tinged face.

This was so unfair! He hadn't even said anything so far. All he had done was smile and laugh! He never had this much of a hold on you when he was younger. As he got older and his hair grew past his shoulders, and his muscles became larger, you became less aware of what to do with yourself.

"I have to go", you mumbled, feeling the tinge fade as you turned to pick up the burlap sack you had brought with you and leave for the village.

"Well, what is going on here?" Aonung called out in the conceited tone he saved for when he was talking to you. His deep voice boomed around the clearing, forcing its way into your ears and silencing the chatter between his other friends.

You didn't respond and instead made your way in the opposite direction they had come from, but before you could escape, a few words were yelled out, making your face nearly melt off your skull and onto the floor below you.

"Somewhere to be, pretty girl?" Aonung called out while his friends spread out, tossing down their training gear and lunches they had packed in preparation for a few hours of training.

You turned sharply, trying to calm your breathing so the blood would move from the gathering in your cheeks down to your heart which desperately needed the extra help because the poor thing was beating overtime.

"Just remembered I have somewhere to be", you said rather awkwardly, not allowing yourself to come across as timid but not quite having the energy to yell back at him with the same enthusiasm.

"Oh, come on! You said you wanted to learn from the best, and he's right here!" Tsireya spoke. She lay down her spear next to yours and jogged up to you. She grinned as she gently tugged on your hand, coaxing you to come and stand to talk to the boys who were checking over their weapons.

You sighed, then gave in, dropping the sack and letting her drag you over to Aonung, who was still standing in the same spot. As you walked over, he had a proud smile etched on his face, and you wanted nothing more than to slap it off.

Your face dropped so you could look anywhere but into his eyes that would have caught you in his dangerous trap of good looks and gentle teasing and never let you go.

"Come on, teach her!" Tsireya was far too excited, nearly jumping up and down while her older brother rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Who said I wanted to help?" He snarkly asked, then continued, "and next time you're thinking of using my spear, ask!" He spat, gesturing to the spike that was laid on the ground rather carelessly. That cleared up the question of why the spear had nearly tipped her over when she held it up.

She elbowed him roughly in the chest with her free arm causing him to bend down a little in pain and scowl at her, but no sound of agony came out.

He quickly straightened himself and snarled at Tsireya, but she gave him a pointed look before her eyes darted to you several times. After a few seconds, he finally got her unspoken threat and sighed, pushing past the both of you to walk over to collect his projectile.

You ignored the feeling of his hand burning on your shoulder as he pushed between you two, breaking the hold Tsireya had on you.

"Come on, pretty girl, let's see what you can do", he called out, not bothering to turn around because he knew you'd be following.

You looked over to Tsireya before you elbowed her yourself, questioning her with a look. She knew you didn't want to speak with him, yet here he was and instead of ushering him away, she had insisted he teaches you.

She simply shrugged at you and pushed you forward before running off to sit next to her brother's friends.

You passed by Rotxo and nodded to him in greetings which he returned before tucking into the fruits he had brought with him. He was chatting with his friends, who all found a spot under a nearby tree that was far enough away from the targets that they wouldn't hear you and Aonung's words to each other but still close enough that they could still see any funny failings.Your eyes settled on Aonung's back, and you took a deep breath, you didn't even have the shame to look away when he crouched down and picked up his spear, checking it over for dirt or marks.

"You watch me first, then you try", he said, glancing over to see you were watching him with eyes slightly wide at the idea of trying to copy his expert throw with an audience.

He smiled at you, which caused you to blush and break the stare you had been holding on his body, which only made him grin, thus continuing the terrible cycle.

"Eyes on me, nobody else is watching, so you can look at me as much as you want", he called you out with a smirk when you finally scowled, giving him a reaction that he couldn't help but chuckle at.

"I worry for anybody that enjoys looking at you", you hissed while taking a step back, knowing he would have to have some space to move when he threw the spike.

He didn't say anything this time but didn't have to. His eyes spoke for him as they shone like the sea on a sunny day.

"So she speaks! I was beginning to worry!" He watched you roll your eyes in amusement with a slight smile on your face, and he silently swore at himself in his head for turning so you wouldn't see his sly grin that he only got when he made you happy.

"Let's start", he wasted no more time and held the wooden stick over his head. You watched with slightly awestruck eyes as his body moved so purposefully.

He raised the spear, and using his other arm, he aimed to secure the direction he was throwing in. He could feel your eyes on him, and it made him cocky. He wanted to show off, to show you he was strong and worthy of praise.

He pulled back his left leg, then after taking a breath, he threw it with as much strength as it took to land directly in the centre of the target. They were far closer than he usually had them, but it was to be expected since you were a beginner.

The weapon shot through the air before the sharp spearhead dug into the ground with a thud, landing directly in the centre of the most petite ring. A perfect bullseye.

He leaned back with a satisfied grin. He turned to look at you with the hopes you would be at least slightly impressed. You were still staring, mouth open in an 'o' shape, struck somewhat by just how gifted at the sport he was, and it made a part of his internal body tingle when you turned with the look changing from amazement to an affectionate smile.

"I'll admit you aren't bad, I've seen worse", you couldn't help the smile anymore. He always had a way of killing off your anxiety, and right now was no different. His cocky grin made your heart speed up, but your mind just wanted to insult him until he dropped.

"If that's all it takes to impress you, I am afraid to know how easy it is to please you", he took no shame in his words, and your smile quickly dropped to embarrassed growls as you hid your face, turning to look over at his friends that were all talking to Tsireya about something at the same time. The discussion looked heated, and none of them paid attention to you two.

You watched, eyes as focused as ever.

"Arrogant brat", was all you could get out as you looked down at your feet and kicked at the dirt.

"Oh, did I touch a nerve? I didn't know you were such a goody-goody", he didn't wait for your smart-ass answer and walked off to tug his spear out of the ground sharply. Your mind was reeling as you heard a soft grunt escape his lips as he yanked his prize out of the ground.

You shook your head and bent down to pick up the training spear you had been given, not taking notice of your position that had your back to the sky until you felt a hand smack into your backside harshly.

The slap was loud, making your face turn scarlet red as you jumped up, abandoning the spike to glare at Aonung with a death stare.

You were shocked, he had never been so bold with his teasing, and while it wouldn't have crossed a line had you been alone, you could feel the four pairs of eyes gawking at the back of your head.

"Don't", you gently warned. You didn't want to admit it, and you knew it was wrong, and the pompous imp should have been ashamed of himself, Aonung should have been on his hands and knees begging to be forgiven, but a part of your brain was fighting not to jump his bones right now and embarrass him in front of his friends.

And he dared to look proud of himself as he laughed at your face, raising his hand in a half-assed attempt to hide the smile while you geared up to smack him across the face.

He noted how livid you looked and sighed. He hadn't meant to offend you. But when he was walking back and saw how your ass was staring at him like that, he couldn't resist the temptation.

"All right, I'm sorry" he held his hands up in surrender as a beam of playfulness poured from his eyes as a flirtatious grin overtook him.

"If you want to touch my body, ask, coward", you bit back, letting yourself grin as he took his turn of letting his mouth go slack at your actions.

"What's wrong pretty boy? Need some help?" you chuckled, nodding your head south. His eyes followed yours with a confused quirk on his brow as he looked down, and his eyes widened as he nervously took in that he had a half chub under his loin cloth.

You took a step back from him, feeling the heat between your legs signal it was time to go before you made some terrible mistakes that led you both behind a tree somewhere doing things you wanted to make him wait for.

He couldn't take his eyes off you, and as you felt the roles reversing, you suddenly understood why Aonung found the teasing so fun.

He looked back up at your smug face and peeked toward the group behind you with a silent plea in his eyes. Don't drag their attention down to his excitement.

"You need to learn some manners, Aonung, it's not becoming of the next chief to be so blatant in public, you've really hurt my feelings", you gave a dramatic exaggeration of a pout to him while your hands came to lay on your heart.

He was blocked from the sight line of his peers by where you were standing, but one step to the left or right and even from this distance, it was undeniable that he was hard.

He hadn't moved to cover his crotch yet but he dropped the spear, staring at you with begging eyes. It seemed that your sudden 360 from being a blushed-out lovesick moron to a vengeful demon had done nothing to ease him down, if anything, you made it worse.

You leaned forward, taking great pleasure in standing on your feet a little to get even with his ear, your hot breath panted onto his neck and he couldn't do anything to stop you. One move, and you'd be exposing him to his closest friends.

"Compared to me, I think it's you that's easy to please", you smiled, and he hated how he could feel the heat from your mouth as your teeth came so close to his neck that it drove him mad.

You quickly pulled away and smiled when you saw his eyes were closed, he was focusing on his breathing like he had you doing from his actions so many times before, and it felt so good to see him like this. A grown man that was bigger than you in every way imaginable was trying to calm his breath over you and your words.

"Well, this has been fun, but I'll see you later, Aonung", you felt confident for the first time in weeks and slowly, you felt the old you coming back, the sarcastic you that had just as much bark in you as Aonung.

You turned to leave, but he grabbed your arm, pulling you closer to him, not quite flush against his body, lest one of the others looked up again and saw you two so close.

"Wait a few minutes, then follow me", he didn't give you the time to reply once again as he picked up the spear and finally had the dignity to cover himself with his free hand before walking off to go deeper into the forest without so much as a glance back.

Oh, you knew you shouldn't. You should turn around and leave, let the warrior get himself off in the forest like the animal he was acting like. Still, the heat that had signaled you to go nearly 5 minutes ago had grown, and you knew that even if it wasn't visible, your body was nearly 10x as horny as Aonung was.

You wanted him.

But you knew you couldn't mate here, and certainly not like this.

'Leave, leave leave', your mind screamed as your feet took step after step of their own volition after him.

You worried for a second that somebody would call out to you and ask where you were going, but a part of you knew that everyone had already worked out the nature of what was going on with you two. They had all been staring at you after he slapped your ass, so they must have.

"I'll just talk to him", you finally muttered to yourself as you set off in a faster pace, going off to find him.

Canonically trans pirate: Alister St. Marina

So, when we first started the Sea of Thieves comics, the game was still in alpha testing. I got the incredibly cool privilege of rolling up on the Golden Shores before other people even had access, because we were basically launching simultaneously. One of the really cool things about the set up was that we got to create our own crew from scratch and tell a story on the sea when it only had a few legends in it, so we were given free reign. I knew we had a handful of issues to tell the story and I hoped we'd get to come back to them, but nothing was certain.

Some of the characters, namely DeMarco and Lesedi Singh became regular characters in the game, which was something I had never even realized was a possibility. Then, of course, DeMarco's death as a big story in the game. It was the first big mystery. And Lesedi was part of it. We even got to hear Lesedi's voice (I was quietly VERY excited they actually cast a South Asian woman in the part).

That led to a new opportunity! Years after their initial adventures, we got to make a new mini-series called "Sea Dog's Search" which centers Lesedi on her quest to find her brother's lost soul. We wanted to change things up and show that it had been years of adventuring on the Sea of Thieves, so even though we hadn't written years of comics, we wanted to show that their lives had kept on going. Since Lesedi was our focus in the series, updating her look was important to me. In the first comic, she started out looking like this:

Then, in the game, she and her brother founded The Sea Dogs and got sharp matching outfits:

Obviously, she stay's looking fly, but it's worth noting that this was a matching outfit with her brother and much more his style than hers (DeMarco loves clothes and dressing sexy, Lesedi has always been a little more no nonsense). So now that she's out from under the shadow of both her brother and legendary father, we've done some updating to her look. First, she had to get rid of the old one and do a bit of fighting of her own:

Over the years, the variety of what you can wear in SoT has improved so we wanted to give Lesedi something that felt like it had a little bit of who she is and a little bit of her home.

But there was somebody else who hadn't really been in the game whose evolution was perhaps more important to me.

When we had done the first miniseries, I talked with the crew about the possibility of having a trans character in the books. They were excited, but one thing they really wanted in the comics was to make sure that things that characters did in the book were more or less achievable in the game and, at the time, there was no way in the build to change your character's look or gender once you started.

But now, there is! There is a potion that allows you to change the look of your character including their gender. Rare and co was very supporting of us then following through with an idea we had during the first fun that was now possible. I had originally written the character of Alessia St. Marina as a person who was not comfortable in her own skin and had used costumes and espionage as a way to cope with that. She was especially fond of going undercover pretending to be male.

At the end of the mini-series, Alessia ended up getting together with her partner in crime, but she was never able to come out as trans. But it has been a few years both in our world and in the game one, so allow be to introduce you to Alister St. Marina.

He's a smooth talkin swashbuckler who just happens to be married to one of the most dangerous cutthroat women in the world, whom our crew has to rescue from her most recent scrape.

So, thank you very much to Rare, Titan, and everybody else involved for letting us tell this wonderful story and bring the first canonical trans masc pirate character into the Sea of Thieves.

See you out there, you salty sea dogs!

This is for my Buddie friends. My buddies, if you will.

I'm recently super in love with Eddie and Buck are already married when Buck joins the 118 and it just never comes up. Or they don't believe him. Or I don't know. It doesn't matter. Whatever the reason, the 118 fam and friends don't know that Buck is married. I've been reading fics like this recently. They're fun.

But there also aren't very many of them. So, first of all, if you have any recs, please send them to me.

Second of all, I had to come up with my own idea for something like this so keep reading to see what it is.

Trigger Warnings: canon typical violence and abuse (Maddie and Doug plus Buck), life threatening situations typical and atypical to the show, witness protection, Eddie potentially thinking Buck is dead so maybe tempory character death, and I think I'm going to make it where the Buckley parents are killed in a car accident or something. I would tag more things if I actually wrote this or anything.

So. Let's start at the beginning. Evan and Maddie Buckley are living with their parents when Doug comes into the picture. Maddie is so in love with him, it's a little concerning. At least, according to her parents. They are very adamant that she needs to stop seeing him.

She doesn't. She fights them tooth and nail to be with Doug. Her little brother Evan is torn between supporting her and agreeing with their parents. But he's young. He doesn't understand.

Sadly, their parents are killed in a car accident. Maddie fights to keep Buck and she's able to become his legal guardian. Doug becomes the dad Buck always wanted. For a while, it's good. It's great even. They're a small little family, but they're so, so happy. It's amazing.

Until it isn't. Until Doug shows his true colors. He gets so angry so fast. And might be young but he's not stupid. He knows that Maddie is hurting. So he starts acting out. When Doug is mad at him, he leaves Maddie alone. That's all that Evan cares about. If only he could do more. But for Maddie, he can at least be the one who ends up in the ER. Not her.

But Maddie can't let him keep doing this. She has to protect her little brother. They live in this horrible limbo for a few years until Evan is 18. He crashed his new bike that Doug bought for him. He's going to be so mad. He has to warn Maddie. Or maybe... maybe he can convince her to leave with him.

"You and me, Maddie. Come on. Let's go. Just the two of us."

And she wants to leave. She does. But she knows that Doug won't let them. Won't let her. But she agrees. She knows what she has to do. The next day, she watches him leave in the Jeep. She's battered and bruised, but watching him leave actually feels like a weight lifting off her chest.

Evan travels. He goes everywhere he can, trying to find somewhere he belongs. He worries about Maddie every day and sends post cards to her work so she knows he's okay. She holds onto them like a lifeline.

Evan eventually ends up in Texas. That's where he meets Eddie. Helping out on a ranch. It's hard work, harder than anything else he's done up to this point. But being there with Eddie actually makes it fun. He never wants to leave. He even gets invited over to the Diaz house where he meets a tiny little Christopher. The Diaz family is the one he always wanted. So warm and fill of love. They take him in, teach him Spanish, teach him how to make the best food. Teach him about family.

It's no surprise to anyone when he and Eddie start dating. He keeps Maddie updated through his post cards until one day he gets one in return. He recognizes her hand writing. She says she's so happy for him. And how she wishes she could meet Eddie and his son. But she also says that Buck shouldn't send her anymore cards. How Doug found one and how he had wanted to go to that place and bring Evan back home.

And, well, Evan can't do that. He needs to let Maddie know that he's okay. So every so often him and Eddie take a little road trip to send a postcard to Maddie from somewhere else. Just to let her know he's okay. Plus, him and Eddie are going to get married and she has to be there.

But on the day they're supposed to get married there's no sign of her. He's disappointed but he doesn't let it get him down. He's marrying his best friend. He's adopting a son. His life couldn't get any better.

And then, of course, it all comes crashing down. Maddie's friend at the hospital, her only friend there, calls Evan.

"Maddie hasn't been to work in a couple days. She hasn't called or anything. I'm worried about her."

Evan has to leave. Eddie wants to come with him, but Evan won't have his family anywhere near Doug. And he's coming back with his sister this time.

Long story, short, Evan goes back home to check on Maddie. She's hurt when he finds her and he's already called 9-1-1 when Doug finds them. It's ugly. And they watch Doug kill someone. One of their neighbour's I guess. And the police show up. And they're all rushed to the hospital. And they're met with even more police. And the FBI. Turns out Doug wasn't just the bad guy. He was A bad guy. A bad guy in a whole family of bad guys.

And so Buck and Maddie have to go into Witness Protection until Doug and his family are taken care of for good. Evan doesn't even get to say goodbye to Eddie and Christopher. He just gets carried away to a new place to start a new life.

Alone.

He ends up in Los Angeles, CA. He's going crazy. He can't talk to Maddie or Eddie or Christopher. He can talk to his agent. That's about it. Despite his agents better judgement, he goes out for the fire department. He's too restless to do anything else. He has to help someone. He needs to do something useful. Meaningful.

And that's how Kyle "Buck" Jones joined the 118. How'd he get his nickname? No one knows.

His kisses spread down your wrist, alternating between slow patient presses to hurried pecks as he makes his way down your forearm. “Let me make it better,” he says as he climbs over you again. “I’ll make it better, sweetheart.”

This is a part of Felix I really like. When it comes to Rodrigue, as long as Rodrigue is safe, Felix is his usually tsun self... but as soon as anything dangerous happens to him (in both games) Felix gets anxious.

It's a nice detail because it makes sense for him to feel that way after losing Glenn, and since this is in VW, he's also, presumably at this point, lost Dimitri. It makes sense that if something felt off about his family (i.e. Dimitri is basically his brother, thus family. Dimitri literally sees Rodrigue as his second father) that he would get uncomfortable.

What I love about it is how much it speaks to his real feelings. He can act uppity and vocal all he wants, but as soon as something happens to these people he claims he doesn't like or care about, it makes him antsy. For all the nonsense he talks about them, as soon as something happens to them, he struggles to accept it (such as why, in his AM advice box note, you have to tell him that that's just the way life is sometimes when he's grieving about his father).

For all of Felix's complaining about Rodrigue, as soon as Rodrigue suddenly isn't able to update him regularly or communicate with him during a war, he becomes uneasy. He's not suddenly grateful like oh finally the old man shut up. He gets nervous that they've suddenly had little to no contact. He's unsettled not knowing what's going on with Rodrigue.

I love this line because it's who Felix really is, without all the posturing. He'll act tough and angry in front of them, but as soon as something goes wrong, he wants to know what's happening. He's afraid of not knowing what's going on. He's afraid that the Kingdom could be in a bad situation, or worse for him, that his father could be in a dangerous situation.

If he didn't care about Faerghus or his father anymore, why would it bother him not to get updates? If Rodrigue was in contact with Felix despite Felix being in the Alliance army, Rodrigue obviously had no issue with that and still took the time and effort to remain in contact with him. Plus, if Felix says this now, it means they'd been pretty regularly exchanging information up to that point and it's just recently started to go quiet, and Felix is uncomfortable with that. He wants to know what's happening.

It's so rare that he acts like this, but when he does it's very powerful. It's sincere and genuine - something he usually is not. He hides his feelings about people if they're safe in front of him. If they're not in front of him and could be in danger, he's worried.

I just wish we had more lines like this because they're so good for his character and help to get him past the issue Houses often has with tropey aspects of characters being their entire personality. In Hopes it's handled significantly better imo, but before we had AG Felix we only really had crumbs of who Felix really was and the parts of himself that he hid from others.

#DCB Three Houses Run #here in this house we love when felix actually shows that he cares and worries abt his father #and also dimitri bc like regardless of what he says dimitri is... basically his step brother #just bc it's not ''official'' doesn't mean dimitri doesn't basically see it that way #i.e. he sees rodrigue as his father and well... considering his childhood and how families work #would reasonably see felix as his step brother. felix doesn't like to admit it but #i think he's accepted that and that's why what dimitri goes through bothers him so much #obviously felix is TERRIBLE at handing mentally ill ppl but... he doesn't like seeing dimitri like that #to him those two are still his family and i appreciate that in vw he's extremely conflicted and #very nervous and upset about what's happening in faerghus

Sumi's Fic Recs

I've been saving a list of fan fiction I like for years now and thought I should share it!

Fandoms include Danny Phantom, DPxDC, Batman, DCMK, BNHA, and Miraculous Ladybug, Legend of Zelda (Linked Universe), Mob Psycho 100, and Genshin Impact. Links, summaries, and comments under the cut.

Danny Phantom

Phantom of Truth by Haiju

NOTE: An edited/updated version of the sequel (Shadow of a Doubt) is also on AO3, but not finished. The finished, unedited version can be found on FF.net here.

Summary: Locked away in a secret government lab with Phantom as her sole object of study, nothing stands between Maddie and the truth... except, perhaps, herself.

Review: You can’t talk about Danny Phantom fanfic without bringing up Phantom of Truth. This one defines the vivisection genre. It’s written in Maddie’s perspective and you can see her character in every little detail of the writing.

Treading Water by TheFullCatastrophe

Summary: "This is the story of why we had to start calling Danny Fenton, Danny FINton. Get it, Danny? 'Cause you have FINS? Oh, I kill me." - a summary by Tucker Foley.

Review: Mermaid AU! Another classic fandom fic, this one with great worldbuilding and some dark, realistic vibes that make the ghosts (well, mermaids) really feel dangerous.

Modern Day Ghost Girl by MemoryWriter

Summary: Wendy Manson, 14-year old freshman in Casper High. Recently she's been able to sense ghosts, and on the day Wendy's paranormal curiosity gets the best of her, her project partner and ex-best friend Shane happens to follow her. When she meets a mysterious ghost in the abandoned apartment, what of her identity will she be discovering?

Review: One of the first fics I ever read, so it holds a special place in my heart.

Outside Looking In by Ellen_Brand

Summary: Casper High's new psychiatrist has some interesting interviews ahead of him.

Review: A great outside perspective into Danny. Also I just like Cade!

Phantom’s Sketchbook by AkoyaMizuno

Summary: Mr. Lancer finds himself in an unparalleled situation, he has access to something which can give him incredible insight into the personal workings of Amity Park's local ghost teen hero, Danny Phantom.

Review: Another fandom classic! A must read for the student/teacher relationship between Mr. Lancer and Danny.

You Should Be Dead by SapphireDragon11

Summary: Dash and Kwan are horrified to discover they've accidentally killed their classmate, but perhaps even more so when he shows up at school the next day. With his secret on the line, Danny soon discovers Dash and Kwan are the least of his worries.

Review: An epic story of Danny going up against incredible odds! One of my absolute favorites!

DPxDC

But I Want to Be Let In, Not Out by TheWritingOwl

NOTE: Actually a series of one-shots!

Summary: Growing up with the Fentons, Danny resigned himself to the fact that he would never see Damian again. However, when he gets summoned to Gotham after becoming the Ghost King, he finds himself reuniting with his long lost twin.

Review: Some nice demon twins au with batfam elements- all the stuff I like in a DPxDC fic.

close enough to be whole again by hailsatanacab

Summary: “If you ever find yourself in danger, go to Bruce Wayne. He will help you.” His mother had loved him, in her own way. If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have helped him escape. If she hadn’t, she would have dragged him back to the League of Assassins, to Grandfather. If she hadn’t, he’d be dead. She loved him, but she loved the League more. Jack and Maddie Fenton loved him too, they did, but they loved their work more. They loved their work more. -- After his parents react poorly to his reveal, Danny escapes to the only person he thinks can help him - Bruce Wayne. He doesn't know what to expect when he gets there, but it has to be better than where he is, surely? He certainly doesn't expect to be reunited with his long lost twin brother Damian. It's funny how things work out that way. Danny is 16 years old, not Phantom Planet compliant

Review: More angsty demon twins AU with secret identity shenanigans, what’s no to love?

Recognized by AgentIanLegend

Summary: When they heard the fateful words "Recognized: Robin - B01," nothing could have prepared them for the web of secrets which would unravel as Daniel Fenton and Richard Grayson search for answers.

Review: An epic story will all kinds of twists and turns. Very will written with great pacing and tight storytelling!

Batman

hand in unloveable hand (a chokehold) by britishparty

Summary: Tim Drake is eleven years old when he’s grabbed off the streets of Bristol while he’s on his way home. It will be okay, he tells himself: they’ll call his parents, and they’ll pay the ransom, and he’ll get to go home.

There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.

They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.

- or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.

Review: Tim is great in this. This one is full of scheming and mind games and all that good stuff.

From When He Sprang by WereDog15

Summary: January 2012. For the last four years, Jason Todd has been living on the streets of Gotham, doing whatever he can in order to survive on his own. But one night, as he emerges from his dwelling in Gotham’s underground tunnels, he encounters the legendary dynamic duo of Batman and Robin.A little bit of help can go a long way, but Jason's world is ripped apart as he is unintentionally put in the path of one of the deadliest secret societies that the world has ever known.Discover the story of the event that changed their lives forever, and put Jason on the path to becoming the second Robin.

Review: THIS FIC. It’s creative, it’s dark, it’s gory - this one makes me feel like I’m back in middle school reading The Hunger Games for the first time. This fic does not pull any punches.

Liminal Spaces by Calamityjim

NOTE: A multi-part series with some extra one-shots too

Summary: Bruce's habit of collecting strays is not limited by dimension. Or When Young Justice Batman comes across an angsty, seemingly abandoned by his Batman Tim Drake, he decides to step up to the plate and parent the crap out of him.

Review: Oh this one is a long, epic story with all kinds of twists and turns. And lots and lots of emotional batfam moments.

A Gentlekid Thief by Blazonix

Summary: Tim didn't mean to become the notorious thief Red X; it just sort of happened. Just like how he somehow wound up being Batman’s greatest nemesis - his therapist. He would like to remind whatever higher forces are out there that he is still only 12.

Review: Funny and clever!

From the Shadows by Wolfsbanesparks

NOTE: Shazam crossover

Summary: All Billy Batson wanted was to survive a particularly rough week living on the streets of Fawcett City. The last thing he was looking for was a new family. All Bruce Wayne wanted was to learn a bit more about his upbeat teammate under the guise of official Wayne Enterprises business. But he could never turn his back on a child in need. Especially one as surrounded by mystery as Billy. OR Billy gets adopted by the Batfamily while trying to deal with a strong magical enemy.

Review: I’m always a fan of gen fic that also has an overarching story and great villain!

Shutterbye by katiesparks

Summary: The more I research it, the more I know it has to be true. Dick Grayson is Robin. And that means Bruce Wayne is Batman. All the pieces fit. I move my Dick and Bruce Wayne things into the Batman and Robin box and buy an extra lock for it.

Review: One-shot written from a young Tim’s perspective. The writing style really brings his character to life.

Surveillance by smilebackwards

NOTE: A multi part series

Summary: Tim knows antagonizing Lex Luthor wasn’t exactly his safest move but the point is really driven home by the bullet to the shoulder. Or: The AU where Jason never died and Tim is a civilian who contributes to crime fighting by taking surveillance photos and leaving them on the desktop of the Batcomputer.

Review: Gotta love some ‘stalker Tim gets involved in hero stuff without actually wearing a cape’ stuff.

Detective Conan & Magic Kaito

(Don’t) Believe What You Know by discordiansamba

NOTE: This fic is actually a rewrite, buuuuuut I saved the older, longer version if you want to read that one instead. Available here (I just copy and pasted it, so formatting may be a little weird)

Summary: For as long as he's known him, Hattori Heiji has always seemed to gotten mixed up in cases with a sort of... supernatural touch. Honestly, Conan's never thought much of it- it's not as if the things that go bump in the night are actually real, and they've got countless cases behind them to prove just that.But after getting mixed up in a strange case in Osaka and learning a disturbing secret from Heiji's past, its left Conan wondering if there's more his friend isn't telling him. So he does what any good detective would- investigate.He's just... not sure he was ready for the answers.

Review: I am a huge of discordiansamba’s writing! It very descriptive and the stories tend to have a lot of interesting moving parts. This fic in particular is great for its worldbuilding and the magical, dangerous adventures Heiji gets involved in. And Heiji trying to hide stuff from Conan always makes for some good tension.

Blood and Snow by discordiansamba

Summary: Heiji Hattori has never believed in the supernatural. Things like vampires have always been a bunch of nonsense to him. But the supernatural is about to prove itself very real.

Review: If you like the last one, you’ll like this one too – another supernatural adventure focusing on Heiji!

Unprofessional Opinion by Ellen_Brand

Summary: A series of psychologicalpersonality profiles of our boys... with guest shrink Cade Maboroshi!

Review: I just like Cade! And an outsider’s perspective is always fun, especially in this writing style.

The Case of the Magic Bullet Murder by MirrorandImage

NOTE: Technically a sequel, but I didn’t read the first one and wasn’t lost. There’s also a third fic that’s good too!

Summary: As always Conan stumbles across another body; and this time the prime suspect is this high school kid named Kuroba Kaito. Sequel to The Case of the Hidden Epidemic.

Review: We get to see Conan interact with Kaito, and that always makes for fun secret identity shenanigans. And we even get to see Kaito get involved in solving a case!

Insanity, Apparently by Taliya

NOTE: A series of one shots

Summary: Takagi Wataru would like to register a complaint to whichever deity thought it would be hilarious to toss him into odd situations with Kaitou KID. Repeatedly. Because this was far beyond his pay grade.

Review: A fun story with a mix of characters you don’t see very often.

Be a Better Me by Lisa_Telramor

Summary: Kaito thought that the Robot Incident ended with the destruction of his copycat robot. He couldn't have guessed how wrong that assumption was when he is injured months later.

Review: Wonderfully angsty and doesn’t shy away from the horror of Kaito’s new reality.

Guide you home by Tobina

NOTE: Uses Guide & Sentinel tropes, which I’d never heard of before but I guess it used to be popular in fanfic in the 90’s? Basically Sentinels have superpowers and Guides help them control it. The two tend to be lifelong partners, but it can be romantic or familial or platonic.

Summary: As a Level 5s Sentinel and skillful detective, Kudou Shinichi helps the Tokyo Police Department whenever they get stuck with a case, his Guide Ran at his side to ground him when needed. After a KID heist, it becomes clear that Guides are dissapearing and Shinichi and his western counterpart Hattori Heiji are knee-deep into the case, especially because this one hits far too close to home for comfort. When then even phantom thief Kaitou KID gets involved, things are bound to get... interesting.

Review: A GREAT story that does a good job with worldbuilding and characters’ relationships. While it focuses on Conan, my favorite part of this fic is the arc the Kaito goes through and the way this story takes a look at his motivations and moral compass.

It's Raining Men, Hallelujah by Asuka Kureru

Summary: Conan already has some kind of corpse magnet power, but when Heiji is in his orbit the corpses actively come to them. From above. Witness.

Review: A fandom classic! Short and hilarious.

Inconceivable by joisbishmyoga

Summary: In the face of a DNA analysis Kaito can't deny, he begins uncovering the rest of his family's secrets. Too bad he's not the only one looking.

Review: An epic story that has a takedown of the Black Org AND twin AU, what’s not to love?

Secrets in Indigo by Sinnatious

Summary: A throwaway comment about Kaitou KID’s eye colour sets Kaito on an uncomfortable path of discovery.

Review: I can’t give too many spoilers! An overall great story with great writing as Kaito discovers secrets and also tries to keep them hidden.

The Young Royals of Deduction by joisbishmyoga

NOTE: One shot

Summary: The Exclusive Interview with Four Children Taking the Investigative World by Storm

Review: Short but fun!

My Hero Academia

The Thin Gray Line by A_ToastToTheOutcasts

Summary: The beauty of the era of quirks wasn't the amazing abilities; it was that nobody sane would even entertain the thought that Kuroko, the most wanted vigilante in all of Japan, was Quirkless.

Review: A vigilante AU with a badass Deku (or, in this case, Kuroko) who puts the whole Hero Commisison to shame. The rivalry between Deku and Bakugou is so intense in this fic, I love it.

Yesterday Upon the Stair by PitViperOfDoom

Notes: When you’re done with this, there’s also a fun related one-shot by another author called U.A. Unsolved by kabukichou (ameliafromafairytale)

Summary: Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it. But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless. Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

Review: An epic story full of secrets and ghosts!

Hero Class Civil Warfare by RogueDruid (Icarius51)

Summary: Heroes lead by Bakugo. Villains lead by Midoriya. Seven days prep time. Three days for Izuku Midoriya to show why they should be glad he's not a real villain.

Review: Badass Deku going all out and scaring his classmates. This one uses nearly every character from class 1-A and 1-B and manages to make everyone have an impact on the story!

Tales of the Jade Mantis by Chess_Blackfyre

NOTE: A multi-part series

Summary: The adventures of Inko Midoriya, Number One Vigilante in all of Japan, and her complicated relationship with the Number One Hero, All Might. However, it's not all about kicking butt and taking names, watch as the telekinetic in the leather jacket struggles with things like brutal mentors, working in customer service, and trying to be a good single parent.

Review: The only fic I’ve found with Inko as a vigilante! Quite the journey, this one goes over her career as a vigilante and what comes after when Izuku suddenly has a quirk. I love the weird adventures Inko gets up to and the interesting people she meets. One of my all time favorites!

Monochrome Skies by QuantumPoint

Summary: Midoriya Izuku died four years ago. Midoriya Izuku dead in a housefire when his mother didn’t notice him come home early. Midoriya Izuku dead because heroes failed to hear the screams of a scared child. Midoriya Izuku dead alone and scared.His mother mourned him but went on with her life. The heroes swore to be better, but still made the same mistakes. And for four years, everyone believed he was until Aizawa caught sight of a well-known vigilante and decided to investigate. Everyone believed it until Yagi bumped into a kind child on the street and tried to give him hope.

Review: I can’t say much because spoilers, but if you’re an artist, read this.

brilliant lights will cease to burn (by my hands i’ll reignite them) by novalotypo

NOTE: It’s a Card Captor Sakura crossover, but honestly I’ve never seen that and as far as I can tell this doesn’t have much to so with that show. It’s BNHA characters and world with some Card Captor magic elements.

Summary: Midoriya Izuku is quirkless. This, he knows very well.This is also what he knows:Weekends and vacations are reserved for walking neighborhood dogs. The elderly are the most powerful people on Earth. Local gods are picky eaters. Trust is a feeble, feeble thing. Magic cards are incredibly difficult to seal, especially when the world thinks you're a vigilante. Heroes are not magicians, but magicians can be heroes.Becoming a cardcaptor wasn't on Izuku's bucket list, but he'll be damned if he doesn't make the best out of it.

Review: Deku doesn’t have a quirk, so he gets sucked up into some magical card captor responsibilities and goes all out, as he does. This one has an analytical Deku, otherworldly magic, creepy villains, and some tension between a vigilante Deku and hero society as a whole. One of my absolute favorites!

Quirk: Knife! by brightredwings

Summary: Izuku Midoriya is unlucky, to say the least and life hasn't exactly been kind. Things weren't so bad in the beginning, but once he was diagnosed quirkless, well, it all went to shit. Everyone grew to hate him, even his best friend and own father.Was it really that impossible to become a hero without a quirk? It doesn't really matter because to Izuku, the term hero is flexible. He'll be his own hero because he's learnt from his own experience, people are selfish and the only one he can rely on is himself.Left alone to fend for himself in the world, Izuku goes out to change things on his own terms, despite his methods being slightly illegal. Keyword, slightly. It's only illegal if he gets caught, right?

Review: A long story with great arcs for a lot of League of Villains character, and a beautiful ending. Some pretty intense angst with happy endings for everyone.

Roses are red and they taste like shit by Unbreakable_Red_Riot

Summary: Katsuki was really fucking sick of the smell of flowers.

Review: Ah, yes, KiriBaku with hanhaki disease. Mostly from Bakugou’s point of view, so you get to see all his frustration and a ton of drama. Also looks into some other characters like Midoriya and Todoroki, which is a nice touch.

The Beauty of a Beast by starofgems

Summary: Once upon a time a lonely beast lived in a manor deep in the forest. He dreamed of the day his true love appeared to break his curse... When a beauty finally appears in his life, it is not quite as he imagined. For who could have thought a beauty would be more of a beast. Or The beauty and the beast AU nobody asked for but here it is.

Review: A very sweet love story. (KiriBaku)

The Deaf Hero: Deku by BeyondTheClouds777

Summary: His whole life, Izuku was told that he couldn’t do it. That he should give up while he still had the chance. That someone like him—Deaf, Quirkless—could never become a hero.But Izuku wasn’t going to give up. Not now and not ever. (OR, the one where nearly everything's the same, but Izuku is Deaf.)

Review: Right what it says on the tin. Deku’s added deafness creates more tension between Deku and Bakugou, his classmates, and even other heroes. Things get angsty but Deku always stays determined, which I love.

Miraculous Ladybug

Where Have All The Heroes Gone and Where Are All The Gods? by Anthemyst

NOTE: This is actually part 5 of a series, but I just started with this one and didn’t feel lost. Just know that in this story, Gabirel isn’t Hawkmoth. Most of this was written before Season 1 ended, I think.

Summary: On their fourteenth birthday, the Agreste triplets' world is turned upside down. Their government has been overthrown, their city taken, and superheroes all over Europe have suddenly and mysteriously vanished-including, to their shock, their parents. They'll need to work together, and become the heroes Paris needs, if they're going to save both their parents and their country.

Review: A next-gen fic that got me into ML fanfic in general! It’s got a fun dystopian vibe and the Agreste kids are all fleshed out very nicely. One of my absolute favorites!

Not A Bit by CaptainOzone

Summary: "Sometimes, being a brother is even better than being a superhero," says author Marc Brown. Félix Agreste has been both, and he can't have said it better himself. (AKA The Brothers AU I wanted to read but had to write myself when I realized this AU has a depressing lack of fic to its name)

Review: I’m always a fan of fic that has Marinette and Adrien AND Felix and Bridgette.

Legend of Zelda (Linked Universe)

Looking for Group by Tashilover

Summary: People want to be a Hero so badly, they're willing to bribe, lie, cheat, and beg. Twilight knows there's a Hero amongst the people in this college town. It's just a matter of finding them.

Review: The modern setting keeps things fresh, yet this story is still full of legends, danger, and a fight of good vs evil!

Mob Psycho 100

tomorrow isn’t always another day by suitablyskippy

NOTE: One shot

Summary: It’s like Reigen’s been waiting for the question. He stops dead on the pavement, grips Mob by the shoulders, and stares down into his eyes with an expression as haunted as though every ghost the pair of them has ever exorcised has taken up residence behind it. “Mob,” he says. “Mob,” he says again. “Tell me, Mob. Look at me and tell me. Tell me truthfully. Do I look cursed to you?”Mob looks at him, and tells him truthfully. “No.”“Well, you didn’t look very long,” says Reigen. “Let’s just stand here for a moment, like so, and you can have another look, a nice long look, and really think about it...” (There's nothing strange about being called back to exorcise the same haunted photocopier six days in a row. It must just be a very haunted photocopier.)

Review: THIS WHOLE CONEPT IS HILARIOUS

Genshin Impact

Traveler’s search for Scaramouche by Scuriel

NOTE: A choose your own adventure story!

Summary: Ei wants Traveler to search for Scaramouche and get back her gnosis. They have many decisions to make along the way.

Review: Don’t see something like this very often! There are actually a lot of different outcomes.

What Should’ve Been Us (Part II of “What Could’ve Been Us) Jude Bellingham x reader x Pedri

Synopsis: After seeing your ex-boyfriend, you’re stuck between a second chance at love and a chance at a perfect relationship.

Pairings: Jude Bellingham x reader x Pedri

Genre: second chance, love triangle.

Jude’s Story: 1 year ago

Jude stared at his phone; the numerous notifications from social media platforms and messages from other girls were becoming old news.

He should be happy with his life; he really should, yet he feels empty. It has been two years since the two of you broke up, yet he still can’t forget about you. Jude has told himself that he’ll be ok and this was for the best, yet every day; he wakes up to regret.

His career skyrocketed over the years, and by now, you should know, yet never once have you reached out to him. He knows he should reach out first, but you guys left things off on a rocky road and he said some things that hurt you badly.

It was never his intention to hurt you. And his promise to love and protect you is still in his heart, and if he could take back everything, he would do it in a heartbeat. He was your best friend before your lover, yet it has always felt like he belonged to you since you met. Even though he had many admirers during his school years, he was yours, and it took a while for him to confess, but you were already his. In his mind, you guys were destined to end up together, and for everything he did, he did it with a purpose. You liked the cologne he wears? He started wearing it every day. You like the haircut he had? He requests it every appointment. The food his mom made is your favorite? He starts packing it every day. Everything that he does, he does it with you in his mind. And not once have you left his mind.

Jude doesn’t understand how two people that were so in love with one another ended up splitting over some dumb reason. He tried to do the long-distance, but you were always on his case about dating rumors and the flirtatious female fans like you didn’t trust him. He was your boyfriend for years and not once has he ever thought of cheating on you, and a little fame wasn’t going to change anything, yet you questioned him. When you guys finally broke up for good, Jude thought it was for the best, but he was suffering as much as you were.

He regretted not asking you to move to Dortmund with him, and he regretted not fighting harder for the two of you, but you guys were young. You were insecure about his career, and he was uncertain that you didn’t love him enough to follow him. It was the right person, wrong timing romance, and Jude is sure you guys would get back together, but it has been two years, and not one of you reached out to another. By now, he has heard of your departure from England and has checked up on your social media regularly, but you went private recently and have also changed your phone number. The only way he knew how to get updates about you is through his brother, who you follow on social media. Jude’s mother has told him several times to move on and focus on his career, but every time he plays, he thinks of you. Every score, every assist, every win, he does it because, in the back of his mind, you are watching him. And he hopes you watch his game, even through the tv.

Jude scrolls through his Instagram DMs, consisting of too many girls, and he hates himself for using them to get you off his mind. He hasn’t been a saint since you broke up, like when his brother told him you posted yourself at a party with many guys; Jude made the headline the next day with a girl. And, like every day, he woke up regretting his decision. The girls will never be able to fill your spot, and he never once considered replacing you. They were all just a simple one-night stand, and many had slapped him for calling your name. It was very immature of him, but he was only human and once in a while has needs, but he has never felt the emotional connection he has with you.

Jude couldn’t admit his wrongdoings, but even he knew the breakup was his fault. He could’ve had both, but he chose his career over you and completely abandoned your relationship. You are Y/N, the girl who knows him better than anyone else, and he should’ve learned that you would follow him. If you did, maybe you would’ve attended a school in Dortmund, found a good job, and bought a house with him. He imagines you wearing his t-shirt to every game and sitting in the stand next to his mother. By now, everyone would’ve known that you guys are dating, and there would be paparazzi everywhere, but you’re strong; you would’ve gone through tough times with him. His teammates would love you, and some would even be jealous of your relationship with him. Your family would visit the two of you every summer, and he would discuss your future together. Things should’ve been that way, but Jude messed it up, and he was paying for the price.

It shouldn’t have hurt, but it did. Two years ago, you were his, and never once did he think that the two of you would end up in this predicament. But here he was, living in regret, missing you every day. Maybe one day, when he is finally in a good spot and has accomplished his goals, and his life is fit for you, you’ll forgive him for leaving you behind. For now, he needed to prove that leaving you behind didn’t go in vain and he could accommodate you in his life and give you everything you deserve. You’re the most understanding person, and Jude knew you didn’t blame him for anything. He’ll chase after you when you two meet again and finally get the second chance he has been dying for.

Pedri’s Story: Three Years Ago

Pedri was always the mature one between him and his best friend. Despite being one of the youngest players on the team, he could be a captain because of his maturity and ability to play on the field. But what caught everyone’s attention about him was his calmness and gentleness. He was mysterious and quite hard to read, yet he got along with everyone.

You first witnessed Pedri playing when your roommate took you to one of the F.C. Barcelona’s games. It was a last-minute decision, but your roommate is friends with a couple of the players, so she got free tickets for you. She knew very well that you want to avoid anything soccer related because it reminds you of your ex, but she was also persistent in helping you move on. It was her idea to introduce you to one of her friends, but you had told her you were still not over your ex, so she backed down for a bit.

The goal was pretty simple, to make your roommate happy by watching the game and to go back to eating ice cream and crying over Jude again. It has been five months since the two of you broke up, yet everything reminds you of him. You still have a couple of his hoodies and t-shirts, and you’re sure your roommates notice the size difference, but she ignores it, letting you dwell in your misery. She isn’t a huge fan of Jude, mainly because he gets compared to her friends a lot, but after hearing your story, her hatred grew.

You told yourself you wouldn’t bring attention to yourself and that you’ll be in your roommate’s shadow, but she was a huge fan, and quite frankly, it was obvious she had a crush on Gavi, although he seemed oblivious to it. The whole game, she screamed louder than anyone else, and the camera panned to the two of you a couple of times. You’re sure there are TikTok videos about her, and you’re not trying to be in one of them.

Pedri noticed you several times, especially since his friend screamed and shouted more than anyone else. Your roommate has been friends with him since elementary school, and they were basically brothers and sisters. He knew she liked Gavi, and he enjoyed the chasing game between the two a lot. Gavi has no clue that your roommate likes him even though it was obvious to everyone, yet it was entertaining how no one told Gavi because they enjoyed seeing how this would play out.

He has heard of you several times and was quite curious about you, but your roommate has mentioned that you were going through a breakup and needed to be alone. He completely understood that and didn’t further anything, but after seeing you in person, his curiosity returned to him.

Pedri isn’t one to be interested in a girl, especially one still struggling to move on, but he finds you cute, and the way you get embarrassed because of his friend is even cuter. His whole life, he has only had one relationship, and it was a mutual breakup, so there were no hard feelings between him and his ex. He tries to keep peace with everyone and ensure no one is misunderstood.

It was funny how you, a foreigner attending school here, caught his eye. He has been so focused on his career that he has forgotten that romance existed. Pedri was very curious about you, so he made sure his friend brought you to the after-party at his place, and when you awkwardly showed up, he was more than excited. It was hard to approach you, though, because you had your guards up high, but his friend played the wingman and left you two to talk.

Pedri could tell you felt uncomfortable, so he asked if you wanted him to leave, but when you said no, he gently started a conversation. It took many tries to get you to open up, but by the end of the night, you did. You guys talk about life, and he made you feel safe, so you didn’t hesitate to tell him about an ex, but you didn’t mention the name then.

After that, you guys became close friends and spent much time together. Pedri always invites you to his games, and whenever he is available, he helps you study and also brings you lunch or dinner. You guys also made it a monthly thing for him and Gavi to come over and watch movies once in a while, and after five months of friendship, Pedri confesses his feelings for you.

It was hard for you, but it must’ve been harder for Pedri to hear your rejection. You explained to him that you’re still trying to get over an ex, and like the gentlemen he was, he didn’t push it further. Pedri was very persistent, though, and asked that when you’re ready, you’ll keep him in mind. And you do like him, but starting a relationship with another soccer player was too much at the moment, and you needed time to think. You know Pedri’s intentions are never to hurt you, but Jude was like that, to begin with, and you just needed a little more reassurance that it won’t happen again. Pedri knows your story with your ex, and he wasn’t going to pressure you to do anything, and he was willing to wait. The confession wasn’t to make you date him immediately; it was to let you know he has romantic feelings for you and would like to pursue things further. But for now, he was willing to wait and prove that he was worthy of your trust and heart.

Despite your rejection, Pedri treated you the same, and he continues to show that he can truly be worthy of your heart. He never hides anything from you and lets you know about his games and the transfer request he has received. He still takes you out on dates and brings you food, and once in a while, you would comfort him when he loses a game. It was like you guys were already dating without the physical intimacy and labels. So a year after his confession, you finally let go of your past and said yes to Pedri.

Modern Time

Your parents were very pleased with Pedri after he requested to sleep on the downstairs couch. They were sure you guys were arranging to sleep in your old bedroom, but Pedri didn’t want to be disrespectful, so he made himself cozy on the living room couch. Your parents would’ve given the guest bedroom to him, but another family member of yours flew in, so they were staying there. Pedri didn’t mind sleeping on the couch either because it was comfortable, and quite frankly, he liked the big window that showed the sunset.

“You are sure you’re comfortable?” Your dad asked for the 20th time. Pedri smiles, “yes sir,” and you want to roll your eyes because that smile of his always fools everyone. People are so used to seeing Pedri as a child that they forget he’s a grown man who might have a freaky side to him. “Y/N don’t you dare plan on sneaking down here in the middle of the night,” your mother warned, causing Pedri to laugh. “Mom, that’s so embarrassing stop!” You whined. Your dad shakes his head and goes upstairs after saying goodnight. Your mother gives both you and Pedri a knowing look before she takes her leave. When your parent's doors closed, and you hear the lock click, you immediately strangle Pedri’s waist. “Chill, Amar, remember what your mom said,” he smirks. You playfully slap his chest and give him a peck on his lips. Pedri lays his hands on your hips and stares at you with the softest eyes. “Did you enjoy the game?” He asked while rubbing your hips with his thumbs. “I thought both teams did well,” you smiled. Pedri nods and turns his head slightly like he is thinking. “Jude seemed like he was trying to win you back,” he mumbled. “He’s a couple of years too late.” You laughed, remembering how happy Pedri was when you finally said yes to being his girlfriend. If people didn’t know any better, they would’ve thought you said yes to a marriage proposal. “He and I go way back, and I hope to be in a good place with him.” Pedri nods in agreement and pulls you down for a hug. “You’re fully mine, and I plan on building a future with you. If he is going to threaten that, I need to know now so we can fix it,” Pedri whispers in your ear. You awkwardly shift and kiss his neck, causing him to groan. “Maybe you should go upstairs and sleep before I do something,” Pedri says, causing you to giggle. “Maybe I should.”

Later on, that night, while you’re staring up at the ceiling, Pedri’s words keep repeating in your head. You’re sure Jude wouldn’t pull anything to make you question your relationship with Pedri, but even though Pedri is special, you can’t deny that Jude still has a special place in your heart. If he had shown up a couple of years ago, you would’ve gone back to him in a heartbeat, but now you’re in a committed relationship that is going so well. Everyone adores Pedri, and it wouldn’t make sense to return to Jude, but your heart still beats for him. When he touched your hand, the memories you shared came back, and most of them outweighed the pain that you went through. But it wouldn’t be right to do this to Pedri, especially since he picked up the pieces, and it wouldn’t be right to think about another man while you’re dating someone else. Sighing, you turned to your side and stared at your desk with photos of your high school years. The young Y/N was sure she’d marry her childhood sweetheart, but that was all the past now, and she should let go.

Closing your eyes, you smile while looking forward to tomorrow, and as your eyes drift, your phone starts ringing, causing you to sit up immediately. It was almost midnight, and there was no reason for someone to call, and the incoming number was also unknown. You frown, wondering who in their right mind would call this late. With hesitation, you pick up the call. “Hello?” You answered. The person on the other side doesn’t say anything for three seconds, causing your heart to race. This was bringing back memories, and you immediately knew who it was. “Y/N, it’s me, Jude.”

Your face hit the cold air causing your eyes to flinch a little, but you made sure to wear a heavy coat because you weren’t sure how long this would take. You were surprised when Jude called, saying he got your number from your friend. You would be lying if you said you weren’t happy, but you were. Some things need to be said, but you didn’t have time. But here he was, standing in front of your house like he used to.

“Did I wake you up?” Jude asked. You shook your head and just stared at him. Now that you're standing in front of him, you realize he has gotten taller, and despite it being dark out, you can tell that he is effortlessly handsome. "I needed to get some things out of my head," he mumbles, and you glance at his car, which was twice as expensive as yours. Jude was living the famous lifestyle, and all the lavishes he had dreamed about were sure to be reachable now. "Wanna go in the car? I don't want you to get sick," he says, reaching for your hand. You let him and followed him to the passenger side. You glance at your living room window before entering the passenger seat, and Jude makes his way to the driver seat. Pedri was a heavy sleeper, and you tiptoed past him without waking him up, but a part of you feels guilty for doing this. But Pedri trusts you, and he would understand why you had to do this.

"I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about you," Jude says while turning on his side so he can face you. "I told myself I should let you go because you're happy with him. But I would feel even more guilty if I left again without saying what I really need to say." Jude reaches for your hand and softly smiles, placing it over his heart. "I still love you, Y/N, and I know you might not believe me but trust me when I say I have been in pain these last years because I miss you so much. You're and will always be the one person that genuinely knows me. I don't know how far you and Pedri have gone and if you're in love with him, but I would hate myself if I didn't tell you I love you. If there is a chance that you are questioning your relationship with him, then keep me in mind. I need another chance with you, and I would be the luckiest guy if you let me have a chance. All these years, I have been keeping my life in order with you in mind. I have done everything in hope of you coming back into my life. In my mind, you're always watching me, and I am reaching you. I won't ask for anything else but to think about us and give us a second chance."

The sound of crickets and breathing was the only thing that could be heard as you stared into Jude's eyes. Everything that he has just said would've made a huge difference three years ago or if you were single. You wanted so bad to say yes, and you wanted so bad to pull him in for a kiss, but you had to restrain yourself. The last thing you want to do is break Pedri's heart, which you're sure is not Jude's intention either. You can see in his eyes that he is pleading with you, asking you to consider him an option. It was already bad that your feelings were returning during his presence, and having him in front of you was making things worse. This was your first love, and as he cups your cheeks with glossy eyes, you remember the teenager you were madly in love with. "Gosh, my baby, I've missed you so much," he whispers against your lips before he hungrily pulls you into a kiss. At that moment, you never once thought of your boyfriend.

Three years ago

"We graduate tomorrow, baby," Jude whispers as he pulls you closer to him. His sweating body tangles with yours as you try not to be so loud. It was past midnight, and you had snuck Jude in, and you guys tried to be quiet when he made love to you, but you were sure your parents would scold you tomorrow. "I know. I am so excited," you quietly squeal, causing Jude to chuckle. "We can finally plan the future that we want." Jude looks down at you with soft yet distant eyes and kisses you on the forehead. "Remember the promise I made to you when I asked you out?" He asked while caressing your cheek. You nod your head, and Jude pecks your lips. "Tell me, baby," he mumbles. As you speak, you draw a heart on his chest, "That you would become a very successful soccer player and give me the most lavish life." Jude nods and stares down at you with glossy eyes, and you aren't sure why. "It may take a while, and we may be on a bumpy ride, but I promise you, Y/N, I will come find you."

-Lilia Lost His Magic to Hatch Malleus Theory-

Now now, I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CRAZY AND IT IS BUT PLEASE HEAR ME OUT

⚠️WARNING ⚠️

SPOILER'S FOR CHALTER 7, TWST JP AND CHAPTER 7 PART 3

Do not proceed if you don't wish to be spoiled

So in the recent/not so recent update on Chapter 7/Book 7 we got quite a lot of info dumped on us one of them being Malleus age, His Parent's and the war that was happening

In short summary the dream/timeline the diashakle group are in is about 500+ year's ago when a war happened between a human kingdom and Briar Valley

But surprised surprise! Malleona (Malleus Mother) has been taking care of her egg and guess again? That right Malleus in real time is only in his 100! I forgot what age princely but it's in 100's

So making the timeline not make sense at all (but then again Silver baby this is a dream after all)

We get confirmation that Malleona was a Princess and is Malleus Grandmother Maleficia's Daughter and only child

So here is the theory that starts it

As we all know and if you haven't read my Crowley is Malleus Father in order for a fea egg to Hatch it needs the live of both parents and magic to hatch

Lilia reveal that Malleus father (His name is Levan or Revan) had gone missing while going to attempt to get into an agreement with the Silver Owl People

Whom all messengers from them have gone also missing

After leaving Malleona to try and stop this war he himself went missing and never returned

This is why Lilia travels because he has hopes that he is alive as he was childhood friends with both and was taken in by Maleficia herself (basically like an adopted brother to Malleona)

So with that being said and Levan being missing, there is only so much Malleona can do other than give her half of her love as she can't fill in what Malleus father's part and use as much magic as she can

With that being said again you can't just hatch an egg with just pure Magic it's really hard to do that because the child needs to know that it's loved in order to hatch

So at some point during this war it seems that Mal's mother passes away AKA she gets murdered

With no one not even his parents being able to hatch him I can see that his kingdom lost all hope maybe even his grandmother lost all hope that their only hope and sole heir may never hatch

Now this were Lilia comes in

What if while all hope is lost Lilia makes on final sacrifice

One final attempt to bring hope back to his home, the home if his beloved friends the Queen that even tho6she had no need to take him in she did and now lost her only daughter

Like the say "You can have everything in life, Sacrifice's need 5o be made in order to achieve"

An eye for and eye

A leg for a leg

A tooth or a tooth

And life for another magic that gives life

(magic is like breathing to fea giving that up is like suicide)

And so he used all his magic to hatch Malleus and maybe potentially had to learn to love Mal to hatch him

But if he didn't let's say he did it with just magic

Then that would mean the oh so great general Lilia

Has made a miracle happen!

A pure miracle

It was a sacrifice but at what coast?

He surely doesn't regret it he is sure his beloved friend Malleona is happy

He is sure his beloved friend Levan is also happy even though deep in his heart he wants him to still be alive

And so that could also explain Malleus and Maleficia's attachment to Lilia

Maybe this just why he is someone Maleficia trust absolutely

Because he gave her a miracle when all hope was lost

While for Malleus is because Lilia literally raised him and hatched him

Imagine baby Malleus in his egg receiving all the love and magic from his parents only for literal 500 to pass without it and no birth suddenly magic comes in and you get out

You would expect to see the parents that took care of you for while you were in the egg only to be met with no one

No one but one man

That man being the one that give Malleus egg magic so he could hatch

Like I said maybe this is the reason Lilia lost his magic

He lost was is like breathing to him in order to bring a life to this world

And no matter what he doesn't regret it heck he would probably do it all over again if he could

What's going on with Four and Wild - LU update analysis

Ok so obviously Four and Wild are going through it. I'm gonna talk about that.

Starting with Wild. My boy. He's having such a bad time right now. All of them are, really. It started with his fight with Four

Wild is dealing with his past trauma from losing the champions, and being unable to save them

This comes up again when he's giving his speech to Twilight. He sees the "old Link" as a ghost along with the other champions. It isn't who he is anymore.

After he had his breakdown, though, he really got himself together. It was his inner strength and desire to help Twilight, for sure, but I also think we can't discount Four's contribution.

Wild realizes that Four is right. It isn't going to help Twilight if he's in the woods having a breakdown. AND IT IS A VERY VALID BREAKDOWN!!! As a viewer, it's completely understandable that, when faced with the potential death of his brother, best friend, and mentor figure, Wild's past loss and trauma is coming up and making it really hard for him to deal with the situation.

But from Wild's perspective, his feelings aren't productive to helping Twilight. So, Wild pushed his fear down and turns it into something that can help.

We've got to give Wild some credit here. Besides Hyrule, he's the only one who has been able to do something tangible to help. And that's not discounting the others, there just isn't anything else they could do. Because of Four's encouragement, Wild is able to come up with something he can do to help.

And then, he goes on to give Twilight the hope he needed to keep fighting.

Twilight needed that. Everyone needed some hope. Time awknowledges the importance of what Wild said at the end of the panel. He's thanking Wild for lightning the mood, and for giving the group hope, and for reminding Twilight what he's fighting for.

That's so important. He got to help.

That is probably not the end of Wild's trauma memories / breakdown. He's going to need to let those feelings out again at some point. But for now, he was able to help Twilight.

Four, however, isn't so lucky. He said all those things to Wild, and was able to help Wild, but Four doesn't know that. Four thinks he made the situation soooooo much worse.

Not only has Four not been able to help (in his mind), he also drove out one of their members (again, in his mind). This is very much not the case to us as viewers, but Four's stuck. As evidenced by his colors in that update, he is feeling very conflicted. He's SO worried about Twilight, and he wants so badly to be able to help. But he hasn't been able to.

Even after Wild comes back, Four is still stuck in his despair and his guilt.

And in the most recent update, he's the only one who doesn't smile

The others at this point are laughing at Twilight's joke, and feeling a spark of hope because Twilight is feeling well enough to make a joke (which I'm sure was Twilight's goal), but Four can't bring himself to smile. He's suffering so so much, but he doesn't believe his feelings have a place right now.

And he's holding Wild's sword in this panel, which I think is important. A lot of what Four's feeling right now is related to Wild. Obviously most of it is Twilight dying, but still. Four is holding Wild's broken sword, and saying that only Twilight matters right now. He's pushing down all his feelings and just trying to focus on helping Twilight.

And then Wild is able to make everyone feel better, but Four still feels like shit. He still thinks he pushed Wild over the edge. He's spent the last few updates fighting with Wild, Four, and Legend, and fighting withing himself.

At the very end, as Wild is walking away, Four is also in focus.

He's specifically watching Wild go. I hope we're going to get a conversation between Four and Wild soon, because they really need it. Four needs to realize that he did actually help Wild, and they both could stand to apologize for the fight, if only to make themselves and each other feel better.

The fight wasn't anyone's fault, really. They're both so young and have been through so much, and now they're watching their brother die and there's little to nothing they can do about it.

So in conclusion, Wild really stepped up, and someone needs to give Four a hug.

Ma Neteyam pt.1

Part 2

Pairing: Neteyam (20 yrs old) x Original Male Na’vi Character

Summary: Neteyam is kidnapped by the Olo’eyktan alpha from a nearby clan who claims that Eywa has destined them to be soulmates. Only weeks away from fully presenting as omega, Neteyam is caught between trying to find his way home and giving in to his primal desires.

Warnings: more smut as the story continues, alpha/beta/omega universe so unequal power dynamics, swearing, stockholm syndrome, more warnings with the coming chapters.

Author’s note: This is my first fanfic I have posted online and the first smut I have ever written, so please be nice. If you don’t like, just don’t read. This first part may be shorter than the coming chapters. It will act as a test run. If you like it, please let me know and I will continue updating. Also please ignore some of the plot ambiguity.

The night air was crisp and soothing with the sounds of wildlife purring throughout the forest. Neteyam lay soundly asleep alone in his hammock dreaming of the ride on his ikran he planned to pursue the next day. He was proud of the independence his father had been granting him lately, letting him go solo on certain journeys and even hunt on his own every now and then, despite his omega gender. It was no small feat to convince the man he would be safe alone, especially with all of the Na’vi young males that had been constantly pining for his affections. Jake was a proud and protective father so when high strung navi warriors made grabs at his only omega son, he was known to retaliate and tighten the reins.

On normal days Lo’ak had the luxury of an alpha title and therefore was able to pounce along the forest without a second thought from his parents. For Neteyam, he was stuck weaving baskets and making bracelets with his mother or occasionally following around his father and brother in their less dangerous pursuits. Recently however, his father had finally conceded to letting his son go on solo rides that didn’t stray from the hallelujah mountains along with hunts that brought him back to the clan before eclipse. Freedom was paradise to Neteyam even if he wasn’t known to fly as far as his brother.

A loud crack startled the boy into opening his eyes. There was no accompanying sound to follow but nevertheless he now lay slightly lucid in his hammock wondering if the sound was only his imagination. After a long pause in silence, he finally decided it was nothing and turned to his other side to sleep. However, he did not get the chance to continue dreaming. This time a chilling ikran call echoed throughout the forest from a short distance. Neteyam didn’t even have time to sit up and look for the source before a sudden impact hit his side causing the hammock to swing dramatically.

The motion had him gasping and practically swinging completely out of the bed before he was able to get a grip on the mesh material enough to keep him there dangling high above the forest ground. The village slowly began to hum as others awoke and searched for the threat. Neteyam ignored the distant conversations slowly erupting as he looked down below for the best way to fall. He slowly felt his heart rate recover from the startling events as he decided on a route that would take him colliding from leaf to leaf till he could hit the bottom.

“Neteyam!” His father’s call interrupted his thoughts as he strained to see his figure a few trees behind him.

“I’m fine!” He yelled across the distance, but the commotion continued and kicked up in urgency.

To his surprise families started emerging from their beds and warriors were scrambling for their bows and arrows.

“Climb! Climb!” Jake commanded with great intensity while rushing closer. Neteyam was confused at the objection to safe fall but knew better than to disobey his father. He flexed his arms and core as he tried to lift himself back up into the hammock.

Suddenly, ikran calls and war cries echoed around and below the Na’vi male. He made the mistake of whipping his head around to identify the threat only to nearly get knocked down by an ikran and rider aiming directly for his hammock. Without another thought his instincts kicked in and he gracefully swung his body back before using that inertia to propel himself at the nearest tree. Desperate hands and feet grasped at the vines on the tree as he threw his body into a climb.

The ikran circled around the tree giving the boy glimpses of the tall rider crouching in a determined stance. Blood racing through his veins at a quicker speed, Neteyam threw all of his groggy energy into flinging himself up the tree in unpredictable directions. His hands were already forming small cuts and his legs aching with the surprise of the unprepared physical exertion. At this point the village was in a full riot as the ikran and mystery riders swirled through the forest.

Neteyam leaped from the tree to nearby hanging vines allowing him to travel to a smaller tree deeper in the brush. His impact was clumsy; the tree was weaker than predicted but he was now out from under the riders radar and able to see the chaos for what it was. From a distance he could now see that the intruders were flanking his abandoned hammock. His father was the first to charge at the navi and engage in combat. His mother was not far behind as she picked up her bow and arrow already pointing at one of the riders.

Strong claws gripped Neteyam by the shoulders before lifting him through the air. The boy gasped and hissed while frantically trying to maneuver his way out of the ikrans claws.

“NETEYAM!” His father’s call rang out with desperation but the boy was too busy writhing and reaching for the claws to spot him.

After only a few seconds the claws suddenly released him and he found himself quickly falling through the air. He tried to get into the proper flat position to fall upon the protective leaves but instead of hitting the greenery he found the air almost knocked out of him as he fell onto another ikran’s back. His body started to slide across its smooth skin before a strong hand reached back to grip his arm.

Neteyam was too busy to identify the rider gripping him but instead focused all of his efforts on prying the fingers off of his arm. If he could just get the man to release him he might still have a chance at cascading into the leaves down below for a safe landing. The Na’vi male’s grip didn’t budge as he hosted Neteyam’s dangling body from the back off the ikran to instead lay across his lap. Before he could push himself up from his lap the intruder was already wrapping an arm around his waist tightly and moving to position the omega in front.

Neteyam quickly elbowed him in the nose once in a slightly upright position. The rider’s grip loosened enough in shock to allow Neteyam to break free and start to slide off of the ikran. His efforts were in vain however as the ikran banked to the right and the omega went sliding towards the rider instead of away. Muscular long arms wrapped themselves around the boy’s shoulders and waist while he hissed angrily.

“Calm, little one.” The stranger’s deep voice purred at the infuriated omega as he positioned the boy’s smaller body in front of him.

“Let me go before I skin you!” He bellowed struggling in the grasp. The man was back into position to direct the Ikran while still trapping Neteyam. They soared left towards an opening in the forest. Cries could be heard from all around as ikrans flowed past them along with arrows and running villagers.

His father was already on his own ikran swiping through the air quickly to reach his son. The sight of him gave Neteyam a sliver of hope. With this motivation he sporadically sunk his teeth deep into the arm around his shoulder. The coppery taste in his mouth confirmed he had drawn blood. The male let out a pained and frustrated hiss before using his other hand to grab Neteyam by the hair and pull him off.

“Hold on Neteyam!” A cry came from far behind.

The stranger repositioned the bleeding arm to securely encircle the boy’s middle before his other hand pressed firmly against the pressure points in his neck. Neteyam went limp against the man as he lost consciousness.

“Sleep now, Ma Neteyam.”

Kxolo admired Neteyam, still asleep peacefully on the mat of his village. The journey from the Omaticaya village to his own was short but difficult as he and the other warriors fought to escape the defending villagers’ advances. Jake Sully was particularly enraged as he chased down Kxolo, streaming out war cries. Kxolo found it a challenge to direct his ikran with the delicate omega limp in his arms but luckily he had practiced and planned the escape route with such precision that even the infamous Taruk Makto could not catch up to them.

His clan crouched around the boy trying to get a good look at the omega Kxolo had been determined to bring home. He could not stop thinking about the young omega since his visit to the Omaticaya clan. His beauty and presence were enthralling. Jake had refused to let Kxolo court him, not even letting the boy in the village that day upon hearing of his intentions. Despite his persuasions and promises, Toruk Makto stayed firm in his decision. It was only after receiving a sign from Eywa of their soulmate bond that Kxolo decided to kidnap Neteyam. As Olo’eyktan, his warriors followed through with carrying out the abduction, eager to find their chief mated.

“He sure put up a fight.” Pulo, his second in command and best friend, chuckled while gesturing to Kxolo’s bandaged arm. “Looks like a little more than a love bite if you ask me.”

“Ma Neteyam has spirit. A feisty little omega he is.”

“I would expect nothing less from an omega mated to you.” Kxolo rolled his eyes fondly at his friend. “Although it may make the first few weeks challenging. I hope you have selected warriors that are up for this task of special babysitting.”

“He will be a handful I’m sure but Eywa knows he will come around.”

Eventually Neteyam started to groan and stir as he regained consciousness. His gaze was unfocused and confused for a few seconds as it took in the sight of the crowd surrounding him. His large amber eyes widened as realization struck and he instantly sprung up and into a crouched fighting position. He hissed at the strangers while eyes shot around the circle to look for an opening. Kxolo recognized the signs of a male about to pounce and attack, lowered ears, focused eyes and swishing tail. Neteyam let out a cry as he flung towards the far side of the crowd. The warriors standing there were unfazed and simply tightened formation to create a wall that he could not get through.

“Let me through you skxawng!”

“Neteyam.” Kxolo’s firm alpha call was barely heard by the omega as he continued to fight against the crowd. The alpha rose back to his feet and quickly caught the thrashing omega in his arms secured around the waist and shoulders once more. “Hush little omega and calm. I do not want to bind you, lovely.”

“Who are you? Let me go!” The alpha’s arms were like bands of steel easily holding the smaller male to his chest. This however did not stop Neteyam from thrashing against him with all the strength he could muster.

“Shhhh” The alpha purred against his ear while letting the calming pheromones wash over the struggling male. “Calm, little one. Calm.”

Pulo turned to Tamil in a silent command to grab the bindings in preparation. It was evident that no amount of pheromones was going to calm the raging omega.

“Get your hands off of me! Let me go before I skin you!” His words were unwavering but frantic movements showed that Neteyam knew he was no match for the stronger male holding him.

“Looks like we will have to do this the hard way. Brother, help me bind.” Tamil used the strong cords to bind Neteyam’s arms behind his head quickly while Kxolo held him still against his chest. A string of curses left his mouth as he now fought off the two alphas. In the end he found himself bound and secured to one of the higher branches of the nearby tree. “My love, I will give you a couple minutes to let out your frustrations and energy out here but I will be right back.” Kxolo affectionately stroked the omega’s cheek as he hissed at the alpha.

Kxolo turned back to the crowd quickly setting into motion the preparations for Neteyam. More warriors were sent out to the borders along the village to keep watch for Omaticaya intruders. Some of the women informed him of the prepared clothes and jewelry for Neteyam. The unneeded warriors and villagers were dismissed, although some tried to stay in order to get a better look at their leader’s future mate.

“Jake Sully will not be far behind, brother.” Tamil warned.

“Toruk has flown these grounds for years. It is only a matter of time before he leads his rider to the entrance.” Pulo added.

“I know, in fact I am counting on it.” The two exchanged a look of confusion as Kxolo adjusted his bow to lie on his back. “It is important that he comes to confront us. Only with Neteyam safe in our hands will I be able to explain the nature of the situation.”

“He will be angry.” Pulo reminded him.

“Of course he will be, but it won’t change things. Call when you see him coming. I need to go talk to my mate.”

He advanced confidently back towards the omega still struggling. Despite the tension of the situation Kxolo could not help but stare at the lean boy's toned body stretched out against the tree. The curve of his small waist even more accentuated than he last remembered with the occasional freckles littering his gorgeous hips. They locked eyes as Kxolo came to tower over the boy. Golden eyes glared back at him defiantly. He fought the smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth as he admired how adorable the young warrior looked trying to intimidate him.

Neteyam stood still now, still angry but Kxolo could tell the boy was losing energy. It did not help that he was bound to fully present soon, making his omega body tire more easily. Kxolo imagined the poor omega was exhausted after the night’s events. The weeks leading up to presenting were exhausting enough without having to fight off strange alphas in the middle of the night.

“Neteyam,” The Sully boy weakly went to bite at the hand Rxolo used to cup his cheek. “Have you calmed yourself now, baby?” The nipping stopped with exhaustion but his glare stayed in place trying to mentally scorch the man in front of him.

“I know you must have many questions. Now is the time to ask them.” For a second it seemed like the smaller male was not going to speak but finally a small mutter left his lips.

“You’re Kxolo Te Iiyi Letvesi’itan. The Olo’eytkan that visited my father last month.”

“Glad to hear you remember me.”

“Why am I here?”

“Ma Neteyam, I have brought you here to be my mate. Eywa has destined us to be together.” Surprise and fear flickered in those gorgeous eyes but were soon covered up by an angry hiss.

“I am not your mate you skxawng! Abducting an omega in the middle of the night does not make them yours.” Kxolo ignored insults and remained calm as he continued to explain.

“I spoke with your father about my intentions of courting you many times but he has forbidden it. The day after I left there was a sign from Eywa confirming our destiny as soulmates from Tsahik, but he has continued to dishonor these prophecies. I was forced with no other option than to carry them out without his permission.”

“You liar and thief! My father is Taruk Makto. He will rip your heart out in front of your eyes before you have the chance to ask for forgiveness.” His words were like venom but the alpha could see the strain of them on the omega’s body. His muscles were giving out and chest heaving at the effort of maintaining the show of bravery against the alpha.

“I know you are upset, little one. It is going to take time for you to adjust but I am willing to be patient and guide you along the way. I see you, Neteyam.”

“A rock sees better than you, you fool! I will never be your mate!” The smaller male spat at the alpha.

Within a breath Kxolo’s larger frame was pressed up against him and strong larger hands encased either side of Neteyam’s head. The stern unmoving look the alpha gave him made his mind sputter to a stop. “No amount of fighting or running is going to keep you away from me. You are mine. Eywa has written us in the stars. I love you more than you will be able to understand. I have known you and I are meant to be since the moment I saw you. I do not care how long it takes for you to acknowledge this connection. I do not care how many times you kick, bite, scratch or try to kill me, I will always come after you. You are my world now, Neteyam. In time you will come to love me too.”

Silence fell over the pair. Neteyam’s heart rate was skyrocketing causing his chest to rise up and down till he was practically panting. The night was too much and Kxolo could tell his omega was telling him to rest. The alpha lovingly stroked the boy’s cheek with his thumb.

“You poor thing have been through so much tonight. I promise I will have you back in bed resting soon my love.”

He reluctantly stepped back and turned towards the warning cries of warriors. Toruk Makto was here.

The red banshee was easy to spot, even in the dead of night. There was no chance of Jake surprising the clan in an environment he had never scouted out before. Kxolo knew that Jake Sully would have to confront him directly.

Toruk soared towards them with a loud cry before landing in front of Kxolo and the warriors set around them. Jake was armed with only a knife he must have grabbed in the haste of chasing after his son. He stared down Kxolo with hatred and burning that only a protective father could muster.

“Dad!” Neteyam cried desperately struggling against the binds once more. The upstart of thrashing was starting to cause the cords to dig into the omega’s arms. Kxolo placed a hand on the boy’s shoulder trying to prevent more damage.

“Kxolo! You let my Goddamn son go now!”

“Calm, Olo’eyktan Toruk Makto. I told you this would happen. You decided to ignore the signs of Eywa.”

Jake withdrew his knife from its sleeve with a growl. “You have my son tied up to a damn tree in the middle of the night and have the nerve to speak to me about the signs of Eywa?!”

The warriors surrounding the area slowly started to circle in at the sight of the knife. Despite their uneasiness, Kxolo remained relaxed as if the conversation was a small chat about the weather.

“Steady Jake Sully. It would not be wise of you to attack.”

“We passed wise a long time ago.” The warriors around him let out tentative cries in response to Jake’s fighting stance. Kxolo could feel Neteyam’s pulse speed up in anticipation of the fight ahead. “Get your hand off my son.” He hissed at the hand still placed upon the omega’s shoulder.

“You are not only outnumbered but also at risk of starting a war by attacking. I have conversed with the Tsahiks of the nearest clans and they have confirmed the sign. In addition their Olo’eyktan have agreed to honor and defend Eywa’s will even into combat if necessary. Be reasonable. You do not want this fight.”

Jake’s stance never let up for a second but fear could be seen in his eyes. He was faced with an impossible ultimatum. Neteyam was growing more restless by the minute as he watched his father’s hesitation.

“There is still time to talk. We can still come to terms with the situation and find the best course moving forward for Neteyam.”

“How is any of this the best for Neteyam?” He ground out through gritted teeth. Pulo inched closer to Jake, still in anticipation of things going south.

“You know I will take care of him. I would never hurt him. I meant what I said to you about loving your son. You can trust he is in good hands.” Jake gripped the handle of the blade in restraint. “If you and I work together I am sure there is a way that Neteyam can still visit his family.”

The comment sent Jake lunging at Kxolo in anger only to be stopped by the warriors’ aimed weapons protecting their leader. Jake hissed in frustration while hopelessly looking at his struggling son. Tears were starting to well up in Neteyam’s eyes no matter how hard he tried to hold them back. Kxolo wanted more than anything to comfort the whimpering omega but that would have to wait till the threat at hand was taken care of.

“Neteyam.” Jake’s voice rose barely above a whisper.

“Dad.” The boy barely gasped out without crying.

“Do not worry. Everything is going to be alright. I am going to figure this out.”

A small sob escaped the omega’s throat before the stream of heavy tears gushed down his cheeks. He knew what that promise entailed. His father would not be taking him home tonight. Kxolo could see the heartbreak in Jake’s expression as he forced himself to focus back onto the chief.

“This is not over. You harm a hair on his head and I will tear you apart limb by limb till you are begging me to kill you.”

The alpha simply gave a short response of “He is safe,” as Jake backed away towards Toruk. He didn’t miss the murder in Jake’s eyes as he mounted the Ikran. Watching the large ikran soar off into the distance, Rxolo knew the fight was not over but for tonight Neteyam would finally be in his arms where he was meant to be.

Neteyam took a long time to console after his father left. Once the tears had started, they did not stop. It was still not safe to leave the boy completely unrestrained but Tamil quickly adjusted it so that it was a simple binding of his wrists behind his back. This allowed Kxolo to scoop the boy carefully into his lap and against his chest. Neteyam was too far into his fit to really put up a fight as the alpha swayed him back and forth and hushed him softly.

“My poor Neteyam.” He cooed while stroking the boy’s braids. The alpha once again released calming pheromones and found it more effective. Neteyam started to go limp in his arms as the sobs continued. It was clear that at this point his body was ready to give out.

“Pulo, are we set for the night?”

“Guard shifts are organized and underway and the hammock is ready for Neteyam.”

“Perfect, thank you brother.” Looking down at the omega he could tell his cries were softening and eyes lided as he fought to stay awake. “I think it is time we get you back to bed sweet one.” Neteyam only stared off into the distance completely lost in his exhaustion.

He continued in this state as they led him towards the sleeping area of the village. Kxolo guided him with a hand to his lower back all the while peeking over consistently for signs of resistance or distress. Finally, they reached the hammock set up for Neteyam. The omega halted.

“Come Neteyam. I can help you down.”

“Aren’t you going to unbind me?” He writhed his arms against the cords in emphasis.

“Can we trust you to stay put?” Pulo intervened, although the alphas knew they would untie him regardless.

“Do I have a choice?” The boy gritted out. Pulo simply shook his head and chuckled softly at the Na’vi’s anger.

“Oh you have a choice. You are free to leave your hammock but you may find the journey back over a guard’s shoulder to be counterproductive.”

Neteyam shot Pulo a look that could kill before tugging at his restraints once more, a silent request to be released. Kxolo motioned for him to be brought over.

“You need rest Ma Neteyam. Don’t be foolish and waste your energy tonight causing trouble.” Kxolo slipped an arm around the omega’s waist. Before the young warrior could manage to escape his hold, the alpha laid a sweet kiss at the crown of his future mate’s head. “I will let you sleep on your own tonight but if you need me, simply call. Sleep well my love.”

With that, the bonds were cut and Neteyam was helped into the hammock reluctantly. However, it was not until the alpha could hear the soft snores coming from the omega that he left to find sleep himself.

Her first 2 children had been for the stability of the realm, she had loved them vastly but her third child was to be just for her - she had wanted another babe to raise - she wanted to find comfort in her children and in the babe - she was quite lonely in the Red Keep as she was amicable with Rhaenyra but unable to fully reunite with Rhaenyra until this pregnancy which had brought them closer to one another. Alicent did not care for Rhaenyra’s children not being Laenor Velaryon’s as Rhaenyra had often come to her and prayed with her so that she may no longer be plagued with her illnesses and for her to be able to bring forth a healthy child once more.

Rhaenyra had come to Alicent’s birthing chambers when the hour turned grim and she weakened under the care of the Maesters - Viserys had been overwhelmed with grief that he was about lose yet another Queen to the battlefield that was the birthing chamber. Princess Rhaenyra held her hand as the maesters stood frantic in the room and Viserys pondered the future within the small council. The former hand Otto Hightower was said to have entered the Sept. from the dawn when Alicent’s labours started and prayed there until the end of her labours - 18 hours later, only stepping away for a bit to receive updates on his daughter and her health.

The young Prince Aegon II (5) and Princess Helaena (3) were brought to hug their mother when the maesters feared the worst - in those 18 hours Rhaneyra never left her side, pleading to her Gods that her friend would survive the battle that had taken her own mother almost a decade before. At long last, the babe was born to Alicent in the hour of the wolf, the babe was twice as small but more than twice as fierce as Helaena and Aegon had been - greeting the room with shouts and cries as Alicent lay on the bed grateful to have survived one more battle and grateful for the health of her son Aemond.

No egg was available to put in Aemond’s cradle, as the last of the eggs had gone to Princess Rhaenyra’s third son Joffrey Velaryon. The Targaryens had to hope that Syrax or Dreamfyre, who Helaena had just recently claimed in her trip to the dragonpit, would bring forth new eggs for future Targaryen children. Aegon has his Sunfyre, Helaena had claimed Dreamfyre, and both Rhaenyra’s sons Jacaerys (4) and Lucerys (2) had been able to hatch their eggs in the cradle. The hope was that Aemond would get one of the eggs that the she-dragons brought forth or that when he was older he would be able to claim one of the wild dragons in DragonStone.

Prince Aemond Targaryen was Queen Alicent’s most beloved child and grew up dutiful and quiet with a hunger for books. He was beautiful - his older nephews and Aegon had realized as they entered their teen years how other Alphas stared at Aemond who was sure to be an Omega and how they presented him with gifts. Aegon had his hands full with Helaena and Aemond, someone had to protect them as Viserys weakened and ignored his children in favor of Rhaenyra and her sons.

————————————————————————

Alpha Lucerys (18) had seen Alpha Aegon (21) pull his younger brother Omega Aemond (16) into his chambers from the corner and had sprinted down the hall to open the doors with a loud growl erupting from his throat. Aemond was his, even if he did not know it yet - and it was not proper that Aegon had taken him, a newly presented omega, to his rooms - brother or not.

“You know you can knock right? What if we had been naked ? ” Aegon said in the bored tone as he looked up from his desk. Aemond wide-eyed gaze stared at Lucerys from the chair next to Aegon and Lucerys looked him up and down checking to make sure not a single hair was out of place and not a button was undone, before he grabbed Aegon harshly and pushed him against the wall.

“Aegon - why would you say that?! Lucerys - are you okay?! Let him go! ” Aemond shouted - releasing distressed pheromones in response to Lucerys’ angry ones and Aegon’s rising anger.

“Aegon - I will duel you right now if you do not explain yourself ! Aemond should not be here - you dishonor him and put his reputation into question!“ Lucerys shouted as he pressed Aegon into the wall harsher. Aemond was attempting to push Lucerys away from Aegon which angered him even further - because why was Aemond trying to protect him? Did Aemond have feelings for Aegon? Lucerys would have to kill him if that was the case - Aemond was not allowed to have feelings for anyone but him.

“Lucerys - Aemond is MY brother and MY responsibility - this and he should not concern you” Aegon responded angrily as he shoved Lucerys back. Aemond quickly put himself between Lucerys and Aegon in an attempt to stop them from fighting once more. Only serving to anger Lucerys even more, but he refused to take another step because he knew Aemond would then trade blows with him in defense of Aegon and he packed a mean punch.

“But if you must know so bad why Aemond is in here! My mother has put together a tournament so that Aemond’s suitors may come to Kings Landing and present Aemond with gifts and so that they may court him! Aemond and I are going over the list of Alphas that I stole so that he may chose” Aegon all but yelled as Aemond pointedly looked at the ground.

“I had wanted to see who my mother had vetted for me - she had been corresponding for months with the head and heirs of houses in the Reach and in the North and in Dorne and who knows where. I would like to meet the Alphas” Aemond said quietly as Lucerys stared at him intensely and pondered on what was said. Aemond had actually wanted to meet other Alphas?? How dare Alicent focus on Aemond’s mating when Aegon and Helaena remained unbonded and free! Lucerys had thought he had more time. Aemond had made shy eye contact with Lucerys and Lucerys felt himself wanting to take Aemond on Arrax at the moment and fly to DragonStone and marry him in the Valyrian custom. There was no need for Aemond to meet new Alphas if Lucerys was here. No need for him to grace them with his time if him and Aemond had been companions since they were children. No need for other titles if Lucerys was Lord of the Tides and Aemond could inherit the Driftmark throne with him. No need if he could marry his Uncle and have more dragon riders with Aemond’s coloring and his features. Aemond who seeked him once they were done training, Aemond who seeked him when they were done with Septa classes, Aemond who read to him underneath the trees as he followed the older boy after breakfast, Aemond who seeked him after he presented.

Had his mother put him on the list? Rhaenyra knew of his secret infatuation with Aemond - since they were children - she had to have put him in on the list for the Omega.

Aegon smiled - which was enough trouble as he realized Lucerys had not expected Aemond to start courting as soon as he presented. Glancing at the list while Aemond and Lucerys seemed entranced in a staring contest and with harsh whispers as Lucerys demanded Aemond tell him who he thought was adequate. Truly Lucerys was to lose him if he couldn’t tell Aemond about his infatuation with him and stop acting like an overprotective brother - Aemond already had Aegon - he did not need another person trying to ‘brother’ him. He knew Lucerys intentions were not purely brotherly but also knew he would’ve put a stop to it if Aemond didn’t also have feelings for this Strong boy.

Scanning through the names, he saw both familiar ones and unfamiliar ones with ages and territories owned. His mother was a smart women, he reckoned. She had chosen not only Alphas close to Aemond’s age but also Alphas who could provide Aemond with the same lifestyle as he currently had. Opportunity to rise and bear children who will be heads of important houses and to be possibly happy. Frankly, he was happy his mother was focused on Aemond more than him or Helaena, he did not wish to marry and Helaena just wanted to run around the Keep and collect insects - they would be unhappy. He skimmed through another name and came to a shocking halt. He would’ve never expected that one to be on this list but it was the best offer possible.

“Hey Lucerys! You are on the list as well! It seems Rhaenyra had put you in consideration!” Aegon exclaimed as both Lucerys and Aemond turned to look at him. Slowly reddening, Lucerys sheepishly smiled at Aemond while Aemond turned as red as the raspberries he liked to eat. Aemond was a funny little brother - he would be tough and soft at the same time - you never knew which Aemond you would get. Aemond was fierce in the training yard but talk about feelings and he was blushing and crying - he sure loved his little brother and wow, their pale coloring really made them look rough when they reddened. Aegon let the words sink in to the boys in front of him before continuing his exclamation.

“Lucerys, I would like to - “ Aemond started but Aegon immediately interrupted - he refused to have Aemond confess before knowing of his other offers and meeting the other Alphas - he deserved to make the choice knowing it all.

“However, it seems not just one Velaryon boy is not on the list - Jacaerys and Joffrey are here as well!” Aegon all but shouted while smiling deviously at Lucerys whose face dropped immediately as anger consumed him once more.

“Brother you can be King Consort - it is the best offer - your children will be Kings! Rhaenyra has written that Jacaerys has had affection for you since you were claimed SilverWing”

Wow…Aegon did not think Jacaerys and Rhaenyra had it in him… Rhaenrya was smart for entering all three boys - she had not known which one Aemond had liked but knew if either one of them was chosen - their ascent to their inheritances would not be put into question with a royal omega by their side. He knew then that Rhaenyra had to have been rooting for Jace to win Aemond’s hand as it would support his claim to the throne and by extension Hers because quite a few houses were loyal to Otto Hightower and seeing his blood on the throne would keep him loyal. Aemond would help Jace more than Lucerys who could marry Rhaena and secure Driftmark. Lucerys, seemed to reach the same conclusion as he had, and released his angry pheromones so quick that Aemond who was still sensitive was cowering which was enough to have Aegon step in.

“Lucerys you need to leave my chambers and leave me and my brother - I have excused your rude entrance and putting your hands on me but if you keep scaring my brother - I will fight you” Aegon said seriously as he stepped in the middle of Aemond and Lucerys.

Lucerys took one last glance at Aemond and stormed out of Aegon’s rooms - most likely on his way to search for his mother and his brothers. Lucerys had fire pulsing in his veins - he would kill Jacaerys before he even got a chance to claim Aemond - should Aemond chose him.

Aemond would be his.

Attack on Titan AU Christmas Headcanons

Some headcanons I thought of, concerning how the gang all spend Christmas (AU where they actually celebrate it)

Eren - Zeke ends up coming to stay with the Jaegers because his mum has gone away with her new boyfriend. Carla and Grisha attempt to keep the boys from arguing by getting them to help with dinner. However, they constantly wind each other up, even during after dinner games. In the end Carla tells them both off. For gifts, she gets them both nice jumpers (she wants Zeke to feel included) and they have to wear them when visiting extended family and friends. Eren is horrified when they have to go see Mr Shadis (as he’s his Home Room/maths teacher). Eren spends the entire holiday texting Mikasa and Armin about how furious he is with his stupid family.

Mikasa - had been expecting a quiet Christmas with her parents but then Grandpa Ackerman turned up. Mikasa’s parents were worried at first - Grandpa Ackerman does not get turned away when he invites himself over. He carries himself with the swagger of a mafia boss. Panicking, Mikasa’s parents scrabble around to make their dinner stretch to four people. The three of them endure some terrifying stories about Grandpa Ackerman’s youth - many involving kidnapping. Mikasa updates her group chat with Eren and Armin who find each tale very entertaining. In the morning, Grandpa Ackerman disappears, leaving Mikasa’s parents bewildered.

Armin - as his parents are normally almost always out of town working, they come home for Christmas. They insist on cooking but Armin’s Grandpa prepares the meal when it all goes wrong. The final spread is incredible and after dinner they play a long, civilised game of Trivial Pursuit.

Jean - spends the day sulking in his room as his presents were a combination of practical items and outdated clothes - nothing remotely similar to what he had asked for. His father hints that he should help out with the meal prep but Jean slinks away and plays on his Xbox to avoid being drawn into it. His father also disappears off with a beer, leaving Mrs Kirchstein to prepare everything. Jean falls into an even deeper melancholy when everyone on the main group chat stops responding to his messages.

Sasha - is banned from the kitchen before Christmas dinner. All the food for Christmas Day has been locked away. She gets her younger siblings to steal for her and ends up being told off by her father. After dinner the whole family goes for a walk across their farmland but Sasha stays in her room, on her phone. When the others return, she has continued picking at leftovers and has fallen into a food coma. She awakes to discover they have started on presents and Christmas pudding without her, and is furious. The next day, Sasha has a second Christmas dinner with Niccolo and his family.

Connie - really enjoys Christmas. Presents always cause a lot of excitement and chaos among his younger siblings. Connie is really patient with the younger ones and keeps them entertained all day.

Christa & Ymir - Christa’s father has recently got in contact with her and she gets invited to spend Christmas with his family. As she is nervous Christa invites Ymir, who has no plans. In fact, Ymir has never revealed anything about her family or homelife to anyone. Christa meets her father, stepmother, uncle, half sister and 3 half brothers (one of whom is a baby). Their Christmas is incredibly formal and conservative; the entire family goes to church in the morning, followed by a lavish meal and presents afterwards. Christa is embarrassed by how much the family has spent on her gifts. She decides to share the presents with her mother (along with all the other food and things she has taken from their house). Christa’s mother could not make the meal as she had had to work in the restaurant over Christmas and was only able to grab a meagre meal with colleagues.

Reiner - spends Christmas with his aunt, uncle, cousins and mother. The Brauns tend to be fairly fiery and Reiner inadvertently gives a few opinions which then ignite an argument. This gets out of hand as his relatives continue to drink more. He escapes upstairs to the guest room he is staying in. Gabi finds him but after a while he even becomes tired of her energy and keeps himself to himself during the remainder of the visit. When his friends ask about his Christmas he lies and says it was really good.

Bertolto - has a quiet Christmas day with his parents. The highlight of his holiday is receiving a rare text from Annie after he messaged her to have a nice Christmas (Annie: “you too”).

Annie - spends Christmas with her father. The pair of them enjoy their traditions of going for a long walk through their woods and nearby park, followed by all their favourite food on Christmas Day. The day after they always go to watch a football game together.

Hange - is a school boarder but has to go home to stay with her parents over the holidays. She reluctantly goes to church with them (they are Wallists) and endures their conservative opinions, critical comments about her appearance, the way she carries herself etc. Hange is almost bored to tears over their obsession with the vegetables they have grown and pickled especially for the occasion. Her only lifeline is talking to Levi on Skype/Facetime in the evenings. She counts down the days until she can go back to school.

Levi - Before the holidays, the others prepare a cake and presents in the Scouts’ headquarters/classroom. Hange and Miche coerce Levi into attending his own birthday party. His reluctance is due to the fuss and mess which parties create. Levi and Hange have a tradition of eating dinner together and swapping birthday/Christmas presents on the 24th (before her parents pick her up). Levi spends Christmas Day by himself. He works out; goes for a scenic walk into town to look at cleaning appliances; buys some tea; cleans both his and Hange’s apartments; makes tea and reads until he falls asleep (i.e like any typical free day).

can you please say anything about Murdoch. anything. I love how you talk about him because I feel towards him the same way, he's goddamn precious

I am ALWAYS down to talk about Murdoch. It is never a bad time to ask me about my best boy. As a matter of fact, there is a thought I’ve been dwelling on and meaning to write up about Murdoch which will be fitting to discuss with his next update on the way.

The relationship and parallels between him and his sister Holly.

Murdoch and Holly’s relationship is…contentious to say the least. Considering Holly is straight up coercing him to sleep with her fiancé (and the most recent update had her straight up blackmailing them both). But what makes this so interesting to me is that the two have a lot of similarities in their situation.

Murdoch and Holly have both grown up in the emotionally abusive atmosphere of the Byrnes’ household, and live in the shadow of Seamus’ death. Both are struggling in their own ways and the burdens placed on them by their parents mirror the social prejudices they struggle under. Murdoch being constantly worked ragged by Alfred and Gretchen, who take every opportunity to tell him what a disappointment he is, has a very homophobic undercurrent. It’s about how his dealings with men bring shame on them (to the point that Gretchen has to keep arranging for them to be hushed up), and how he can’t be the heir who carries on the family name with children of his own. Holly meanwhile IS propped up as the family heir, but she is constantly beset with pressures and expectations that are rooted in misogyny and the extremely restrictive box she is placed into as a woman in an upper middle class household.

But neither Murdoch or Holly can see what the other is going through. Holly doesn’t see how exhausted and miserable her brother is, or how she herself is contributing to his suffering. She just sees him getting bailed out of compromising situations with men around town day after day and envies his freedom. Likewise, Murdoch doesn’t see the pressure Holly is being forced to live up to. He just sees the apparent favourite child who he is constantly compared to. They are both being abused but each thinks the other has it better, which comes to a head when they argue on the night of the bachelor party.

This goes hand in hand with the survival strategies they’ve adopted to cope in their situations. Murdoch feverishly attempts to figure out the truth of what’s really going on in Echo. Because he believes that is he does, if he keeps bending over backwards (sometimes literally) to do what his family wants, maybe they’ll go back to how he remembers. He has to believe that the way they’re treating him is down purely to Echo’s influence because it’s the only thing that keeps him going. Holly’s strategy meanwhile is to get the hell out of dodge. In the extremely narrow box laid out for her, the one way she can exercise any will or power is through the men around her. Jim is her ticket to get the Byrnes family out of Echo (especially as Cordelia’s remarks about all three of the Byrnes siblings having an interest in occult stuff around the town implies she ALSO knows something’s wrong with Echo) and also to extricate herself from her own bad situation within the family. And she is willing to resort to drastic measures, rationalising to herself that it’s all for the good of the family, (even when it’s Murdoch, a member of her family, getting hurt by her actions).

There’s also how both Murdoch and Holly are drawn to someone who embodies the freedom they crave in their own lives. Murdoch sees Samuel, a man who, as a sex worker is able to express his sexuality as a living, (when sex is the one way he is able to feel like himself) and idolises him for it, falling in love from afar long before the route actually starts. Which builds to a devastating one two punch of Murdoch learning both that Sam is nothing like he imagined and that he’s actually been ‘whoring himself out’ for his family for a long time (sex was the one way he could feel comfortable and even that’s been taken away from him). Meanwhile, while we don’t really see a lot of Holly and Jim’s four year relationship, it’s easy to put the pieces together. Jim is an up and coming city slicker who’s ‘going places’. He’s free and independent in a way Holly can only dream of. As well as someone who can ‘save her’ from her crappy home life by giving her somewhere else to go in the city.

(On the note of this. It kills me that Murdoch takes Holly’s side when she’s arguing with Jim and doesn’t protest that she’s hurt him just as Jim has…UNTIL Holly snaps at Sam. Murdoch is so self loathing and so smitten with Sam, that he’ll defend Sam before sticking up for himself…😭).

And this is all without getting to Dahlia, staying out of sight with what she knows, keeping her cards close to her chest…

One of the reasons Murdoch’s route is my favourite is not just because Murdoch is a charming well written woobie. But also because his dynamics with his family make the Byrnes’ some of my favourite characters. GeorgeSquares has said that he wanted Murdoch’s route to show that abuse can take many forms, and not always the ones we commonly expect. So seeing the Byrnes’ siblings all coping in their own ways and even turning against each other, is really compelling and tragic. It leaves me wondering whether the siblings will find solidarity to overcome their mistreatment, or just throw each other under the bus. As well as adding more layers to the question of how Murdoch will extricate himself from his family.

Thank you for the ask. Always happy to talk more about my boi…

I've been thinking a lot recently (which is never a good thing!) about who would be the MC's "besties" or first friends if they didn't meet Ace and Deuce first at Night Raven College. And since you are one of my favorite people for TWST stuff and I enjoy hearing your thoughts, I wanted to share it with you like I normally do. 😁

I'll go in order of dorms and start with Heartsabyul because it may actually keep me on track. I can't imagine anyone else from Heartsabyul aside from Ace and Deuce, but if I *had* to pick someone I could see being MC's first friend at NRC, I think I would be Riddle, honestly. He'd see this pitiful, lost, magic-less student and view it as a challenge to prove how capable he is. He'd not only educate you about NRC, but about Twisted Wonderland itself too. He'd tutor you in classes (for extra credit or maybe just for his own pride) and make sure you abide by all rules. You're basically an honorary Heartsabyul student by the end of the first semester and Grim has been collared four times a week since ya'll first started. You never have a problem with bullies because if someone so much as looks at you wrong, it's off with their head. You are invited to every Unbirthday party and expected at all croquet matches. Ace and Deuce still wind up taking a liking to you and you're able to convince Riddle not to punish them. Trey is used to your presence by now and whenever he sees you in the halls and you appear lonely, he'll come over and tell you Riddle could use some company and you're sent on your way to him.

For Savanaclaw I was a little torn on who to pick. I like the idea of you started to hang out with Ruggie because you run into him all the time when he's handling errands for Leona. But Jack just barely beats Ruggie out for title of "first friend". I think with you both being first years and you being totally lost, this lone wolf would feel bad and you'd essentially become part of his pack. Of course, Grim stresses him out severely... but you accompany him on an occasional run and he sees you in the bleachers at every game. He's over at Ramshackle more than he's at his own dorm.

Next up, my favorite Octatrio. You can't tell me that Floyd wouldn't start picking on you for his own amusement. A magicless human from another world- definitely a novelty. You'd get so used to Floyd's antics and how he'd track you down wherever you were, that eventually you just started looking for him in between classes and would call out to him. And that is how you meet Jade; after confusing the two (since you didn't even know there were two), Jade asks how you know Floyd and you're just like "he's me friend :)" which shocks the usully unshocked eel because from what Floyd has told his brother about you, you basically never have a moment of rest. Jade then takes an interest and from that point on, anyone who has a bone to pick you has to answer to the Leech twins. Azul however, misses his hench-fish. Please hang out at the lounge so Floyd will at least pretend to work.

For Scarabia, it's 100% Kalim who befriends you first, but Jamil comes later (and reluctantly). I think Kalim would find you shortly after the opening/orientation ceremony (whatever it's called- Swimmy is drawing blanks) and introduce himself and immediately declare yourselves best buddies- and Grim. He adores Grim. You're basically at Scarabia every day after classes (sometimes against your will because you can't so no to Kalim's puppy dog eyes), and this is how Jamil grows to tolerate you. You pay attention to him separately from Kalim and he's not used to it. Ramshackle also gets updated with some nicer furniture and decorations because Kalim wants to make sure your dorm is comfortable too. It is not uncommon for Kalim to come bursting through the door of Ramshackle with Jamil in tow and drag you and Grim to another celebration at Scarabia. Jamil- not that he'd ever admit it -finds himself looking for you whenever you're not with him and Kalim. He feels at peace when things grow quiet and he notices that you and Kalim have both fallen asleep on the cushions in the dorm.

Pomefiore was also difficult. I believe Epel would be the first one you bonded with. He feels like he can be himself with you. Surprisingly, you're allowed to sleep over at the dorms pretty often, although Vil often threatens to separate you two because you're up all night and YOU NEED BEAUTY SLEEP YOU POTATOES- anyways... somehow or another, Rook winds up hanging out with you two a lot. Nobody knows why. But it isn't uncommon for Vil to walk into a room while the three of you are getting into to something and getting instantly suspicious. Vil basically adopts you and treats you and Epel like his babies... which basically means Vil is a pageant mom.

For Ignihyde, you're only getting Ortho. He'll force Idia to meet you later on, but you and Ortho meet while he's handling something for Ignihyde and you just think he's so cute and adorable. You'd steal him as your own brother if you could. It's a strange sight to see the three of you; the robot, the magicless human, and a cat monster. But you three get along well- mainly because Ortho always bring treats for Grim. Idia watches through a Webcam sometimes and finds himself considering you a "friend" even though ya'll probably don't even meet until almost a year into you being in Twisted Wonderland.

And lastly, Diasomnia. It's Malleus- I bet nobody saw that one coming *sarcasm*. 😂 You meet him the same way you do in thr storyline, just much earlier. You two remain secret friends and meet nightly until he finally invites you to Diasomnia for dinner or something. From that night on, you're an honary Diasomnia member. Sebek starts hanging around you to "make sure you're not a threat to the young master!!!" but finds himself enjoying your conversations- and no he isn't blushing!!! Silver seeks you out and naps while you're doing homework or reading. You always wake him when it's time to go and he appreciates it a lot. Lilia adores you and is so excited his boys have made a friend. And I know I said that basically nobody would mess with you if Riddle or the twins were you friends... but having these 4 as your first friends... yeah, you probably won't even make other friends. 😂 You're well protected. Not even Grim can piss anyone off anymore, he's protected too.

Now I wanna ask! Who do you think would be the MC's first friends if not Ace and Deuce? And/or who would you want to meet first in Twisted Wonderland??? Personally, I'd enjoy meeting Malleus first or the twins.

- Swimmy (I need to get a life) 🏊‍♀️

SWIMMY YOUR MIND IS A CAVE OF WONDERS DON'T BE AFRAID OF THINKING TOO MUCH AND SHARING IT WITH ME <333

well, that's being said... I loved all your takes <3 as always, really lovely, funny and wholesome! Idk what would be the best friends options for MC if wasn't Ace and Deuce so, I'll talk about me personally. Maybe some of our points get in agreements lol

I - Heartslabyul

starting in a interesting point of view, I would probably stumble into Cater and/or Trey first. I'm a huge introvert and I have this power of attracting extroverts so, I feel like Cater would be super interested about my situation + my introversion. Kinda like Idia lol he would try and make plans for me to socialize and befriend Heartslabyul before anyone

weird statement ahead: Trey have so much "my dad" vibes to him, sometimes too literally. I can imagine me being lost at some place in the castle, running into him and having the biggest "pls, help me" eyes someone ever gave him. Trey would inform me the right way to go and in these small meet ups, he invites me to Heartslabyul to eat something. I'm the absolute stan of his bakery skills~

Riddle, Deuce and Ace would come with time and the follow ups of the main story, I think

II - Savanaclaw

as much I love Jack, we are two introvert idiots and wouldn't talk to each other until someone present us or some mild accident happen and we sort of interact. We have different "lone wolf" vibes. So I feel like, I would befriend Ruggie first

probably I saw him during a errand and offered some help, which he appreciate tons. Ruggie seems easy to talk to, he would laugh at how surprised I look at anything and how I'm so quiet in the beginning. Best case scenario, Jack saw Ruggie struggling with a basket of Leona's dirty clothes and we both run into him at the same time. Ruggie make the presentations and drops the basket so we both carry it while he can relax his arms for a while. Awkwardness arises but we start talking about Ruggie and... oh look at that, a friend?!

Leona took sometime to get used to me coming and going to Savanaclaw. He was the one who looked at me (and based about what Ruggie told him) and pointed, kinda mindlessly "so this is the little kitty-cat you two, bug brains, adopted?"

III - Octavinelle

Floyd as a best friend was a good take! So him! I fully agree. But... what if was Azul instead? He would be very curious about my situation, a poor unfortunate girl living in a abandoned dorm. Maybe she needs a good hand? that can trick her into a contract

but I'm like Jamil 2.0 with him. I love Azul tons but I don't like people going straight to me, especially appearing out of nowhere and scaring me (which is very easy to do and do horrible things with my overall humor). So, he would try to find things to make a organic interaction happen. Do you need new glasses? Medicine for your rhinitis? Mind to try fancy food? Maybe work at Mostro Lounge for money?

I think with the right words and acts, he would win me over. Not for a contract tho, I'll terrible afraid to sign any compromisse idk much of. The tweels are like a McDonald's double gift. The perks of having me as a friend is that, I would protect Azul's integrity from Jade and Floyd... just to mess with him myself sometimes. We are both members of "adjusting your glasses omniously anime-style" (Idia's words)

IV - Scarabia

Kalim. There's no other way. And yes, it's opening ceremony! He would see me walking around the halls, all alone and lost, and invite me for four different banquets in a row just in case. He's very friendly and his smile is something difficult to deny. I'm doomed in this sunshine boy's hands <3

befriending Jamil is only a matter of time. I feel like we relate a lot so, as much fun I would have with Kalim, I would almost pass out next to Jamil and mumble, more to myself than him, "oh God, I hate parties so much" and this picks his interest, just a bit

we all definitely talk a lot in all own ways, having each one of them by my side is a different experience but I manage to stay true to myself all the time and in which Kalim thinks I'm very unique to hang out with, Jamil reassures himself that maybe we're more similar than he first thought

Jamil would have one of those "wait, are we friends???" when I give him a gift and I'm like "yea? uh, if you're too uncomfortable with that, I'll understand..." "NO! I- I mean, sure. friends..." Kalim just jumping in the background "YAY~!"

V - Pomefiore

Epel too in my notes. It's a specially horrible day for him, he is at the apple trees area almost next to Ramshackle, almost crying, I awkwardly goes to him and offer some support. We try not to worry one another in this and Epel is like "no... its okay" when I offer him a cup of coffee (hospitality 100 points!). Meanwhile, I'm thinking how I want to find whoever made this poor boy cry and kick this person into a hill

I would go into a big experience of wanting to adopt Epel as my son and as I get to know him better, looking at him as a equal. We absolutely bond over shit-talking Vil and some of Pomefiore's extreme ideals (once in a while, talking about some good things too some times). The best part? We both are the most feral creatures deep down so when one has a anger attack, the other has one too and there's this... connection between us. Epel offers to always cut apples to me bc my knife abilities are for stabbing people, not fruits (he gets overly concerned about I cut apples and honestly? i don't blame him)

Rook will introduce himself uninvited and gets along with me before I even understands. One of my weak points is that I like weirdly funny people... he uses this weakness against me.

Vil and me have a mutual bond of disliking each other, but if he's in a good humor, he may not look too much at my dry skin and refrain himself of trying to bring me to the "skincare side of the Force". Maybe I'm too much like Leona and that another annoying thing about me lol

VI - Ignihyde

if isn't Ortho going out of his way to befriend me, I don't think anyone from Ignihyde would dare go near me (is the disadvantage of all us being introverts, we don't talk to each other). Maybe was accidentally, maybe is bc I was in front of Ignihyde's mirror thinking if I should take a look at them or not... I don't want to bother anyone... then Ortho comes up like "oh, you want to see my dorm? Come, I'll show you!" and drags me in

TOTALLY shows me to Idia and is the voice of the talk for good long weeks until Idia mumbles his first complete sentence to me and I reply a complete sentence as well, getting more used to this new ambience. I hunt down for Grim the moment Ortho talks about how Idia likes cats (girl needs to have a subject to talk about)

we all grow into one big alliance with game nights, anime marathons and manga reading time. Grim only likes the first one (bc its more interesting)

VII - Diasomnia

the biggest chance is that I befriend both Malleus and Lilia first in my humble opinion. Malleus are this creepy guy with horns that appears sometimes at night and I try at least to offer him coffee but we talk more each time; Lilia scared me off by accident one day. He wanted to prank Sebek but I came in instead. Since my reaction was very amusing, he started to talk more with me... then I discovered that Malleus and Lilia not only know each other but for the longest time, and I'm like "I should had seeing that coming"

Lilia is that kind of dad who would try to set me up either with Malleus or Silver. Sebek maybe for the comedy potential lol I feel like my personality fits more the Diasomnia crew so I'll would feel at home

imagine, spending nights talking about gargoyles with Malleus, Silver's sleeping at my shoulder, Lilia made dangerous inedible cookies and Sebek is at my other side, grumpy as he can be (and Silver and me occasionally tease him a little, the first not knowing it and me most of the time on purpose)

[special addition of mine~]

VIII - RSA

in terms of story and possibilities, Chenya would be the first one to befriend me. Maybe I was walking around Heartslabyul and saw his head floating around, our eyes meet and I'm split between "oh God, a cat boy" and "OMG A HEAD"

either way, he smiles and starts talking more with me. Definitely shows more at NRC for me and to see Riddle and Trey. If we are all together, even better! I love cats oh so much <333

Neige would also be instant friendship, most like Kalim. He's like a angel I just ran into and we share apples, smiles and the world feels like a cottagecore, I'm spinning around the school with him by my side. I don't even look like my gloomy self anymore, he fills me with so much joy and wholesome feelings~ Gran is my favorite dwarf, he get each other like anyone would

[...]

Thank you again for these interesting headcanons, Swimmy! I had a lot of fun imagining all of them <3 pls if you have something more to share, you're always welcomed in my inbox! we talked so much that I practically feel like we're friends too~
