A-Z SFW PROMPTS (Robb Stark x Reader)

The og king in the north's turn for the A-Z sfw challenge!

Warnings: Some topics familiar to the game of thrones world, nothing specific. Some nsfw innuendos, but nothing fully explicit, Terms such as lady/queen etc and general female appearence descriptions will be used.

Based on these prompts, full credit to the author. *I did change letter Z to fit the historical setting since they couldn't possibly have a favorite picture. These headcanons are very out of context and don't necessarily respect canon situations or plotlines. It's all very hypothetical, Enjoy!

Main masterlist here

A - ADORABLE

§ -What do they find especially endearing?

Robb is a very romantic man, and also a very family centered one, considering the environment in which he grew up. He loves to see you being soft, in general. A cute kid gifted his queen in the north a flower and you're absolutely melting? So is he. A kitten comes close and cuddles your hand making you awe? He's SMILING. Those type of situations absolutely melt his heart, but again he'd be just as happy to hear you tell a story or talk to you. Obviously he loves when you get touchy and all giggly, how could he not honestly.

B - BARGAIN

§- How do they get their way?

Robb does enjoy a good love making session after a particularly good or busy day. This could mean showering you with compliments and being all romantic in public or if you're already in private there's a very good chance that he'll just get things started by kissing all over your body and face, or, if he's feeling particularly playful, with killer tickles that would only have you laughing to tears and beg him to have mercy on you.

C - COMMUNICATE

§-What is their love language?

Oh, physical touch absolutely. PDA is also a big thing for him. He's proud that you're his queen and wants to show you off to everyone. "Good evening my lords, don't you think that my queen looks absolutely delightful tonight?" or "You know my lady, my lady wife is also really good at riding" literally doesn't matter, he's down bad and is gonna make it everyone's problem. You could say that he's got a bit of a praise kink going on, or he's simply a simp, you decide.

D - DEVOTED

§-How do they show they're serious?

Aside from making sure that your position near him is always clear to everyone, Robb is definetly the type to protect you from everyone and everything. He's never had a bad example of a man to look up to, a mysoginistic one or a cruel one. Eddard has always been nothing but respectful and devoted to his mother lady Catelyn, and he'll be the same to you.

E - ENCHANTED

§-What first caught their eye?

Your self respect, probably. Again, obviously his view of the world will be in one way or another be influenced by his own family. That being said, from his mother to his little sisters, even though in different ways, none of them ever allowed to anyone to step on them. When he first met you he noticed that right away. Might also be that you're quite feisty and that amused him to no end lol. Another factor that it's not a hundred necessary but still very welcomed is that lady Catelyn liked you.

F - FLIRTY

§-How do they flirt?

He is quite bold in his intentions usually. He's a lord, now a king, and regardless he's never been in a position in which he had contain himself too much. He's a big child in the positive meaning of the word, to be honest. He can be really playful and he usually is. He'd tease you by complimentiong you, grabbing you and showering you with kisses, sometimes tickle you or even chase you around! He's just really in love and it's not hard to see.

G - GENTLE

§-How do they provide comfort?

Again, he's a very physical lover. If you were crying or having a bad time for some reason he'd just hold you, stroke your arms, back or whatever part of your body he could reach, and give you kisses on the head. He would be the type to let you cry it out and then ask you if you're feeling better, and you usually would. Afterwards he'd just make sure that you had the chance to relax however you wanted, alone or not. It was your job to tell him what you needed, and he would provide.

H - HOT

§-What is their favorite look on their partner?

He loves to see you comfortable. You could be in a nightgown and with loose hair and he'd be a hundred percent satisfied. He also likes to see you with simpler clothes than the ones you wear during big nights or important events at the castle. But again, whatever you feel more comfortable wearing is enough for him,

I - INTIMATE

§-What kind of dates do they like?

I wouldn't consider them proper dates since you're mostly together anyway, but he loves to spend some alone time with you when he gets a break after some busy days or even after he's been away. In that case he'd just be very happy to reconnect in bed, in the literal sense. We could consider it a sex and pillow talk combo. Sometimes a warm bath where you could just chill together and get lovey dovey.

J - JEALOUS

§-How jealous are they? How do they show it?

Yes, why lie. He's very proud to have you at his side and is just so in love with you that he wants you all to himself. He'd never get toxic or violent, none of that. But, he's kind of a man child so obviously he'd get a pout when some other lord would try and get friendly with you. You'd mostly find it cute and amusing though, and a little kiss would fix everything right away. It's just all very wholesome.

K - KARMA

§-How do they apologize?

He wouldn't, because he's got nothing to apologize for. He'd just turn into a happy puppy and be all over you.

L - LUST

§-Favorite thing about their partner?

Your grace. Robb is just mesmerized of the way you move and act, how you carry yourself. He would find you so graceful and beautiful in everything that he could just about spend his days staring at you in awe.

M - MEMORY

§-What's their favorite memory together?

Probably your wedding day. Painfully romantic, I know. He cherishes the whole happy vibe of the day, the memory of you and his family together, you looking beautiful in your wedding attire, you dancing together. Everything honestly.

N - NORMAL

§-What does a normal day look like for them?

You wake up together, have breakfast alone and start the day coversing. Then he would kiss you and go off to take care of his lord business and you your lady's. Sometimes you'd spend the day with his sisters and mother. You always tried to have your meals together and in general make sure to communicate trought the day.

O - OBVIOUS

§-How do they show they're together?

Well you're his literal queen so it's not like you need to prove yourself any further. But you'd be a very loving couple in public regardless, your on his arm, him kissing your cheek or hand when he had to leave/when he saw you, always making sure to acknowledge your presence and your title, and so on.

P - PEACE

§-How do they relax together?

You like to take baths together. You like the contact, the warmth and the privacy of it. Living in Winterfell other things that required to get out of the castle walls weren't exactly comfortable or enjoyable except on rare mid-temperature days. You also liked to play games actually, like board games or card games in front of the fireplace. Possibly naked.

Q - QUIET

§-What can they do together?

Fortunately for you spending time together isn't really an issue, especially since you're married and have such important roles in Winterfell. Robb being a big family man also loves a nice evening with his parents and siblings, or just generally some of the lords and ladies of the castle. You typically prefer to stay inside than outside regardless, so the choice falls on playing games, talking, being intimate or even doing your official business just staying in the same room.

R - ROMANTIC

§-What kind of gifts do they give?

You are already the queen/lady of Winterfell so there isn't much that you could need or wish for that you already don't have. It does happen sometimes that his sisters give you little gifts; Sansa once gifted you an embroidered shawl, while Arya a little hand made figure of your house. You thought it was very sweet of them and were glad that they loved you. Robb would kinda spoil your kids though, should you have any.

S - SLEEP

§-How do they sleep together?

You like to sleep on his chest, or hugged to his side with your head on his shoulder. He also likes to touch you while you sleep, a hand on your waist, belly, side or even holding your hand if he manages. He'd definetly be the type to sleep with a hand on your pregnant belly, too.

T - THOUGHTFUL

§-What small things do they do for each other?

You get each other a lot. If it happens that either of you gets annoyed or tired during a conversation, a dinner or another kind of situation, the other would make sure to dismiss it and move on. Again, you're very affectionate in general so it wouldn't be wired for people to see you exchange a loving glance, a chaste kiss or something similar. You also know how to comfort each other and give each other space should you need it, which is foundmental in your relationship.

U - UNITY

§-What would their wedding be like?

Your wedding would definetly be a very happy day for everyone. You're the kind of couple that other could tell was made out of love and not duty, and this aura reflected on those around you. Sansa and Arya would be your maids, and even though the smaller one would kinda hate to get all dolled up, she'd bare it just because she likes you. Catelyn would be the happiest woman in the kingdom honestly, and would probably weep during the ceremony. You'd dance together all evening and get emotional during the ceremony. You'd feel like the luckiest people in the kingdom and the guests would probably agree, considering how weddings usually go in Westeros.

V - VIBRANT

§-What always makes them smile?

One another, easily. You're very alike in your character and that's why you'd get along so well, like ninety percent of the time. You also love to just enjoy family time, it gives you a sense of comfort, strenght and stability.

W - WHISPER

§-What pet names and compliments do they use?

You'd call him 'my love', 'my lord', 'my husband' or simply Robb. He'd also call you 'my love/queen/lady', by your name and also 'my darling'.

X - XOXO

§-How do they kiss?

Like everything that you do, your kisses would also be quite sweet. You'd kiss often, that's for sure; on the lips, on the cheek, forehead, head, hands, shoulder and so on.

Y - YEARN

§-What do they do when they're apart?

You would be better at hiding the longing than him, to be honest. You'd be pretty much the same, saving the sadness for when you were alone, even though Jon or Catelyn would see right through you and give you a few words of comfort. Robb on the other hand would get grumpy. According to his lords it was almost funny how his mouth clearly pouted in disappointment whenever he was caught missing home and you.

Z - ZOOM

§-What's their favorite place to go to?

You don't really have one outside of Winterfell. If you had to choose you'd probably pick the family room in which you could dine, dance, play, fool around, eat and just spend time together.

That's it for the SFW Robb version! Hope you liked it <3

Random Top Gun AU I thought about if anyone wants a brain rot with me

LABYRINTH AU

In which Ice is Jareth the goblin king.

A young Bradley upset with the passing of his father, and refuses to want anything to do with his stepfather, Ron, or his half sibling Jake.

One evening when his Mom and Step dad are away in a date and he’s stuck babysitting his kid brother who has not stopped crying. Frustrated and stressed, Bradley tells little Jake a tale of the Goblin King, the same story he heard from his father before his passing.

“Stop it! I’ll say the words! No I mustn’t,, I wish,, Oh I can bear it no longer! Goblin King! Goblin King! Where ever you may be, take this child of mine far away from me!”

And Jake vanished, the Goblins have taken him. Bradley was mortified, he thought they were just stories his dad made up! And that’s when He appeared. The Goblin King. He refused to give Jake back, told Bradley to forget about the child but he couldn’t. Deep down Bradley knew he loved his brother, and oh god what will his parents say? He needed to get Jake back.

“You have thirteen (13) hours in which to solve the labyrinth, before your baby brother becomes one of us,,forever.”

It was a piece of cake. Bradley walked with confidence until he realized there was no openings inside the labyrinth.. luckily a nice worm told him the trick. The labyrinth is not at all as it seemed. There were stoned hands pointing in every-which direction. Bradley pulls out a marker he had stashed in his one of his pockets, this place is so confusing, he writes an arrow in the direction he’s going to keep track of where he had been. “I’m coming Jake,”

“I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry, what could I do? My baby’s love has gone, and left my baby blue! Nobody knew, what kind of magic spell to use.”

Among the many failings in Bradley’s journey, he did meet a short cranky Goblin with the name Jester, something he found quite odd, Hester’s were supposed to be funny and he was nothing but disdain, he was however fascinated with Bradley’s bracelets. The next goblin he met was tall, shy, and enjoyed talking to rocks and making friends, he called himself Slider.

And after a run in with a bunch of Fierys they ended up in the big of enteral stench. Where the encountered yet another Goblin. Small feisty and energetic creature that looked to be a mix of a fox and a squirrel, everyone called him Mav.

Onward the party went to the Goblin Kingdom, Jester offered Bradley a peach. Once Bradley took a bite of the peach he collapsed, and he dreamed of a glamorous ball you’d read in those fantasy books. Bradley himself was dressed in layers of flowy fabric and glitter. He laughed and he danced, smiling and never wanting to wake up from it.

“There's such a fooled heart beatin' so fast. In search of new dreams, a love that will last within your heart. I'll place the moon within your heart. As the pain sweeps through, makes no sense for you, every thrill is gone, wasn’t too much fun at all. But I’ll be there for you, as the Word falls down.”

When Bradley did awake he was in the comfort of his room with foggy memories. All his cherished possessions were there. His stuffed animals, his books, his slippers and his favorite board game. The posters and playbills lining the wall, his music box and vinyl records that he was gifted from his dad before he passed. Everything was in place and as it was, but something was wrong. A little book on his desk caught his eye, Labyrinth. The words of strength echoed in his head, “you have no power over me,” looking around. This was a distraction! He needed to get out. Tearing at the posters and walls everything crashing around him. Out, out, out!

As the hole in the wall opened, Mav and Slider were there helping him out. They quickly made it to the gates of the goblin kingdom. They came across a giant metal gollum standing guard at the gates where Jester came into the rescue to defeat it! At last inside the City! Goblin guards flooded to town to try and stop the party but thankfully with the help of Slider’s rock friends it was a breeze.

They arrive at the castle, “I need to go in alone, thank you for all of your help” “if you should ever need us, for anything at all, we’ll be here.”

Inside the castle was even more twists and turns, stairwells that were sideways, and upside down, leading to one room and out another. “JAKE!” And there baby Jake sat on the stairs giggling like he’s been having a good stay inside the caste. He doesn’t notice Bradley as he begins to crawl up the stairs. “Jake wait?!” Bradley dashes down the stairwell where he ended up on the opposite side of the room from his brother. He tried again and again to no avail as the Goblin walked along the stairs as well to watch the chaos.

Finally Bradley and The Goblin King confront each other.

“Everything that you have wanted, I have done. You asked for the child to be taken, I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted living up to your expectations of me. Isn’t that generous?”

Bradley was quiet as he tried his best to remember the lines from his book. The same book his dad always read, the one his dad worked hard to write and publish. His favorite story.

“Through dangers untold, and hardships unnumbered. I have fought my way here to the castle, beyond the Goblin City. For my will is as strong as yours, and my-“

“STOP! Wait, look Bradley, look what I’m offering you. Your dreams.”

“And my kingdom as great.”

The Goblin King became frantic, showing Bradley an orb that held his dreams

“I ask so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want.”

Bradley thought hard, this was the part he had trouble remembering.

“Kingdom as great,, Damn. I can never remember that line.”

“Just fear me, love, do as I say. And I will be your slave.”

King Ice demanded, he was at the end of his rope and Bradley knew it. If he could just remember the line!

“My kingdom as great,,,my kingdom as great,, you have no power over me!”

The orb was thrown up in the air. And King Ice disappeared and a snowy owl is what remained. The world began to fall into itself. Everything went black.

Bradley woke up in his bed once again. Was this another trick? Was this real? He looked aver at his shelf and noticed a bear was missing. He quickly got out of bed and stumbled down the hall to his parents room where the crib stood to the side. Peering into and seeing his baby brother, Jake, lay sleeping peacefully with the missing bear in his clutches. All is well and Bradley finally breathed easy. Turning of the lights to the room and returned to his own.

His parents arrived home and for once he didn’t feel angry for once. He tidied his room, putting the books away, and the playbills in the drawer of his desk. He sits down at the desk and stares off into near by mirror.

“Goodbye, Bradley” he saw Slider in the mirror, turning around Bradley saw nothing there. He looked back in the mirror. “And remember Master Bradley, should you need us,,” Mav said solemnly. “Yes, should you need us, for any reason at all” Jester appeared looking solemn.

“I’ll always need you, I don’t know why, but every now and again, for no reason at all. I’ll need you.”

“Well why did you say so!”

Bradley turned around in his chair again and there they were his friends and other goblins he’s met on his journey. It was the best night of his life.

There was a snowy owl that sat outside the window. Watching as the small party go down. With a subtle nod it flapped it’s wings and flew away.

The return to the Goblin Kingdom, the snowy owl formed back to King Ice, and he smiled.

“Good job everyone” he greeted, “That went perfectly, I think Nick would have been proud!”

Long ago before there was Bradley there Nick Bradshaw, he found the Goblin Kingdom and had the adventure of a life time and in the end he had asked the Goblin King to do the same for his future child. Ice had agreed, it had been a long time since a human has visited the kingdom and he delighted everyone he befriended. Not only that but he also introduced Mav, a spirited Goblin, to Ice. Helping young Nick out was the least Ice could do..

spicy book recs?

alright let's see

Sierra Simone writes theee best erotic romance, some of my faves include:

The New Camelot trilogy. Kinky King Arthur--very literally a modern King Arthur retelling in which King Arthur is [drumroll] Maxen Ashley "Ash" Colchester, president, erstwhile war hero, and absolute panty dropper, Lancelot his VP Embry Lance (never forget his middle name is Lance) Moore, my favorite romance character ever, and his first lady is Greer Galloway, the girl who heard a prophecy that was like "please don't kiss anyone" and went "okay I'll kiss everyone". MMF, kinky, angsty, dramatic.

Thornchapel. Quartet about six friends who accidentally awoke a gothic looming horror thing as kids and then continue to awake it as adults with kinky sex rituals. Kinda like The Secret History x Picnic at Hanging Rock x Brideshead Revisited with a dash of occult. Two core romances, one is MMF (childhood friends to enemies to lovers and the girl they both love) and one is FF. TW for incest(?). Very kinky, much group sex and sharing occurs.

Priest. One of her more.... approachable books, about a Catholic priest who falls for a woman who tells him all the shit she's done in confession. Also kinky.

Salt Kiss. Just out, a spinoff from New Camelot that retells Tristan and Isolde but with Tristan as a bodyguard and Mark as his boss who he falls in love with before he meets Isolde, who he promptly also falls in love with. Salt in the Wound is a novella that should be read first, ab out Mark and Isolde. Kinky, queer, intense.

Grace Callaway writes really fun historical romances that lean towards the more erotic. Usually, there's a girl who boldly ventures into danger, and a hero who's like "my god I find her brash impulsiveness compelling, I must eat her out and tell her she's bad".

I really love her Lady Charlotte's Society of Sirens series, which is like, Charlie's Angels but Victorian.

Olivia and the Masked Duke. Age gap D/s romance, bratty heroine paired with a hero who's like "I'm your dad's friend, I can't do this"... but she's obsessed after seeing him spank another woman, so she's pretty determined to make it happen.

Pippa and the Prince of Secrets. Childhood sweethearts reunite after her shitty husband dies. Hero is scarred and runs a band of child spies (I died). They're both really into exhibition and ye olde sex swing.

Fiona and the Enigmatic Earl. Feisty diamond of the season girl ends up in a marriage of convenience with a stern earl. Both of them are basically spies undercover, but neither of them knows lol. She's very bratty with him.

Glory and the Master of Shadows. Heroine gets mentored in badassery by the hero, who's desperately trying to resist her because he's Tainted and she's Fresh and Innocent. At one point he eats her out against the wall while her parents are sleeping with the door open down the hall.

You want a mafia romance? Try Mila Finelli. Her Kings of Italy series kicks off with Mafia Mistress & Mafia Darling, a duet about a girl who is kidnapped to marry this mafioso's son, but the dad like "nah, I want you, be my mistress". My favorite in the series is Mafia Madman, which is about a fucking lunatic blowing up a bar to kidnap the heroine for Revenge. He chains her to his bed and they have an enemies to lovers situation because she keeps telling him he ain't shit and he's like "sadly I am entranced by her". Mafia Target is an M/M assassin/target book, most excellent.

In terms of "contemporary sex club" books, I'd recommend The Salacious Players Club, which is about a group of friends who start a sex club (with two additional installments about the most noteworthy patrons of the club). Each book deals with a different kink--praise kink with an age gap, femdom, voyeurism, "we think I'm a cuck but actually me and my wife and my best friend are just mutually in love with each other", daddy kink, etc.

Joanna Shupe (who is also Mila Finelli) writes pretty hot historicals. I would recommend especially

My Dirty Duke. Victorian novella, age gap, heroine falls for her dad's best friend and he takes sexy old timey pics of her.

Sold to the Duke. Heroine enters an auction for her virginity to save her sister from destitution, gets bought by her dead brother's best friend who's like "I'm not going to take what I bought" and she's like "oh yes you are dude.

Her Uptown Girls trilogy is about three sisters who bop around Gilded Age NYC, getting into trouble with 1) dad's lawyer 2) casino owner attempting to ruin dad because revenge 3) powerful gangster. Very hot and very fun.

Fifth Avenue Rebels is my favorite series by her. It starts off with a house party in Newport and then continues into all the drama after. Recommending reading in order, they're all good, and they lead up to one of my favorites, The Duke Gets Even, about the uptight duke and wild child heiress who've been circling each other for the previous books. Very hot, and they both enjoy rough sex.

S.M. LaViolette (who is Minerva Spencer) writes hot historicals. I just finished her Seducers trilogy, which follows three sex workers/former sex workers from the same brothel as they meet people and fall in love with much drama and high stakes. Hot and romantic as fuck. TW: all of the books feature trauma in the past, but little to none is on the page

Paranormals? Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark, which is full of vampires, werewolves, witches, and everything else falling in love and having lots of sex across the world. Long running and pretty violent, so check your TWs, especially for the older ones.

Passion by Lisa Valdez is a really wild erotic historical romance with a hero and heroine who start fucking as soon as they meet in the first chapter. Behind a screen the first go. She has a magic vagina that his massive cock can fit into as a miracle basically.

I mean... if you're willing to go, uh, bold as fuck, Tiffany Reisz's Original Sinners is very erotic. Everyone is polyamorous, everyone is bi, it kicks off with a British editor visiting a novelist to work with her, and oops, she's a dominatrix. The central three characters are that dominatrix, Nora, her long time on again/off again lover/dom Soren, who is...a Catholic priest with a sadism fetish... and Kingsley, who owns this kink club Soren and Nora are respectively the #1 and #2 top dogs at. There is a LOT of sadomasochism in this series, a lot of kinky shit, a lot of angst, dubcon and noncon. There's also... some shit I don't think would be written today, like a good amount of underage sex, severely morally questionable relationships, and I don't loooove some of the dynamics written (Kingsley and his long-term partner Juliette make me question much). The writing is beautiful, the characters and dynamics are fascinating, but it's definitely something you should dig into before reading.

But I can't lie, Nora, Soren, and Kingsley have a spellbinding dynamic. It's fucked, but it compels me so. I will add, there were 8 original books (not standalones) and then she revived the series years later. Stop at the first 8 (and their assorted companion novellas and short stories).

#this is some of 'em but if it's not open door at least i don't intentionally read it so #all of my reads are probs spicy for someone lol #book recs #romance novel blogging

Summer 2023 Anime Roundup

Anime of the Season – My Happy Marriage

I had been looking forward to this supernatural-tinged romance set in Taisho-era Japan ever since it was announced in 2022, and it did not disappoint me in the least. It follows a young woman who’s been sent to live with a fiancé without her input after a deeply traumatic childhood marked by physical and emotional abuse spearheaded by her spiteful stepmother and apathetic father. Despite his reputation in society as a cold, callous man who drives women away, her fiancé hides a kind, loyal personality behind a stern front and becomes instrumental to her recovery, encouraging her at every turn to stand tall on her own two feet.

The first half could be a little frustrating at times as the traumatized female lead struggled to speak up for herself and take up space, but that only makes her eventual growth into a more assertive woman all the more satisfying. Her voice actress does a fantastic job of slowly increasing the volume and strength of her voice over the course of the series as Miyo gains confidence. Adding to this performance is a beautiful soundtrack by Evan Call that blends perfectly with the dramatic story and gorgeous backgrounds full of traditional architecture surrounded by blooming flowers. It’s rare to get a joseimuke anime with this high-quality production, and I loved every minute of it. 9/10

First Runner-Up – Bungo Stray Dogs S5

At the beginning of summer, I hadn’t watched any of this series past season 1, but the hype got to me and I picked the series back up halfway through this season. Thank god I did, because this season was incredibly good, with well-animated action, gripping suspense, and a resolution that was both world-altering and intensely personal. 8/10

Second Runner-Up – Undead Murder Farce

A sardonic half-oni man teams up with an immortal severed head and her fierce bodyguard/maid to travel around Europe to pursue the people who stole her body, while solving mysteries involving monsters along the way. The mystery writing was a little uneven and exposition heavy, but the playful dynamic between the characters was magnetic. 8/10

Horimiya: The Missing Pieces – This season consists of the scenes cut from the first adaptation of the manga and lays them out thematically, rather than chronologically like the manga. Taken as a comedic slice of life, I think it works really well, as the vignettes can just sit and be amusing without feeling like they’re stalling for time to avoid ending the series. 8/10

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts – For the first time in almost a decade, we got an anime for a Hana to Yume fantasy romance manga, and this complete adaptation of the story totally hit the spot. Our sacrifice turned queen-to-be was delightfully feisty, and our beast king was perfectly protective and encouraging. 7/10

Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero – I went into this expecting a simple comedy on the ecchi side about a down-and-out hero and the demon lord he defeated ten years ago, and I got that, but I also got a really well-written fantasy story with complex antagonists and a delightful little romance with real chemistry between the titular characters. 7/10

Bleach: TYBW Part 2 – This part of the new season was right back to the problems I had with the original run of the series. The visuals are great, with stylish character designs, nice saturated colors, and smooth animation, but the story relies on stringing together fights between side/minor characters more than it should. 7/10

BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! – I don’t generally watch female idol shows, but everyone’s praise got to me, and I ended up checking this out at the end of the season. The character drama is excellent for the most part, and the music is good, but the 3D CG animation was not my favorite, and Saki felt poorly written just to seed a sequel season. 7/10

MIX S2 – This is the spiritual successor to the 80s series Touch, but it’s loosely related, not a direct sequel, so it stands alone just fine. This high school baseball series has the Adachi standard emotional sucker punch to the gut along with a generous helping of dry humor from its large cast of likeable characters. 7/10

Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari S2 – If this was better animated, this would be a solid shounen action series with a romance subplot. The writing left nothing to complain about, with a large cast of well-rounded characters and a satisfying romance between two characters who actually suit each other. 7/10

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale Part 2 – What a complicated series this is to talk about. The art and animation were both pretty good, and the story was at least trying to be deliberate in how it addressed the inequality in its world, but I’m not sure it handled the slavery issue consistently. 7/10

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior – People are starting to complain about all these villainess adaptations, but I’m enjoying this trend of female main characters working to avoid a disastrous end by gathering allies around them. I just wish the visuals for this particular anime weren’t so insipid. 7/10

Edens Zero S2 – This season felt a bit more coherent than the first, being split into two main arcs instead of several smaller ones, and introduced some genuinely tough opponents with tricky abilities, while also revealing secrets about the main crew. 6/10

Sweet Reincarnation – This reincarnation isekai does very little to distinguish itself from the rest of the crowded field of isekai, but it didn’t have an RPG menu and the pastry chef turned precocious lesser noble didn’t push Japanese food on the people of the other world, so I kept watching. 6/10

The Misfit of Demon King Academy S2 – Season 1 of this series was such a fun genre-savvy romp, but this season was a tedious Proper Noun fantasy that was extremely confusing and basically no fun to watch. 5/10

Possessive Aemond Targaryen x OC (Breakfast in Bed but NSFW)

Writer's Note: Hello! It seemed that everyone loved the sneak peek of the picture of the fic I was writing “Breakfast in Bed but NSFW”. Probably you're excited, but I obviously do not wnat to rush it, and the very first paragraphs introduce the premise and the possessiveness of Aemond, and OC Caraela's character. It's slow paced but I really tried to incorporate what I try to make Aemond of. So in this context, it becomes a series now? Because I will still have to other parts. I hope you are satisfied with this fic. It's not an excerpt anymore.

Warning: gore, violence, slow-paced, mentions of death, and being that this fic is a first draft.

Word count: 1.2 k

Be my wife---obey me, do as I say, love me, fear me, and I will be your slave. Words that first confounded her, contrary against each other, for how can he’ll be her slave when she is expected to be his traditional and conservative wife. Truthfully her husband ended his vow with those words after introducing to the families and friends how she has supported his every motive. That stoic, short-worded, kin-hater, who confessed his eternal love and possession for her, willing to be her slave. For whatever endeavor, whatever fate she wants to pursue, whatever bucket she wants to fill, and whatever else her heart desires; Aemond will and always be his heavily-favor matter, it’ll always outweigh everything else. Aemond has long-drawn pushed past boundaries. He almost had her for several encounters, but feisty as ever, slipping past lights, shadows, and places. Aemond had climbed the azotea that leads to her bedroom though Aemond only faced a stack of pillows resembling her silhouette under the sheets. He also had reached out to her through her friends but they render him unsuccessful clues that leads nowhere to his goal. However, after a long time of heavy pursuance to the lord of the cliff-region’s castle, for that sultry yet sweet, with hair resembling its soil, and fairest of all the maiden of that land. Caraela withhold all attention that Aemond desired, so he resisted what his heart wanted and raised rampage on a nearby land. Flames painted the villages red and orange, smoke replaced the air they breathe, and it all ended in one day with ash and smoke, and multiple casualties. All for the name of unrequited love. The worst fact about the rampage, it was Caraela's most-loved village, where her favorite scarves are sourced from, from which when there is a certain point of time in a day, the sun’s light the beautiful water falls creating its famous fire falls. They blamed Caraela for not giving in to the infamous one-eyed prince’s motives of affection and desire for the oak-brown eyed woman. Aemond’s brother, Aegon, had to sway him to otherworldly pleasures given by the wine and innuendo from distinct whore-houses. But this does not take the itch and desire Aemond has for Caraela, even though Aemond never really sought those pleasures with Aegon. Aemond can only find real pleasure from Caraela, the child swaddled by golden scarves, signature of her house.

Aemond rests in the Red Keep’s library, wasting away the hands of time gaining more than what he could bargain. Suddenly the door’s opening cracks and opens, Caraela finds herself a little lost from enjoying her another stay in King’s Landing. Now, she doesn’t know her way back to the main chambers, but maybe getting a little lost was good because she finds herself surrounded by thick books. Searching through the cabinets and shelves of interesting pages, she hears a loud flipping of a page nearby, she thinks that someone must be here but they must be at the farthest side of the library.

When Caraela becomes fond of a page, she hugs it close to her chest and searches for an empty spot in the vast library. Aemond, on the other hand, finds his senses being threatened when he feels there is someone behind him where be sits. He turns around to check and their eyes meet, filled with shock. Just as Caraela took a step back ever so carefully, Aemond stood. Caraela took two more steps back further and Aemond is reaching out. Thus, Caraela threw the heavy, black book towards him that caused to stumble backward, and gave her to escape his sight. Hence, that signaled a chase between Caraela and Aemond. Aemond almost has had her, and this time, he is not letting her slip past him. He is going to capture her for himself. She ran past corridors and hallways, missing the knights and maids. She almost trampled in the staircase when she met the queen and her sworn sword, Criston Cole. She must have wondered why she was running and almost trampled on the staircase. Nevertheless, she greeted the queen, “My queen,” she curtsies, “I must apologize but I am in a hurry to go do something. Again, my apologies and good day.” Caraela resumes her act, making sure she is near the handrails so she won’t fall. Alicent was struggling to know what has gone over their guest, but she remembers how she was the picture that stalked her son’s mind.

“Caraela!”

Caraela hides behind the Godswood tree, hoping to the gods that Aemond may not find her. Aemond used silence and carefulness for one prick of friction may…, a crying sound?

Aemond was sure he could hear a muffled crying sound, was she crying? He could make out that Caraela was hiding behind the weirwood tree.

It had been hours but she thought the gods may have taken pity over her and decided to not whisper to Aemond of her whereabouts, for she hasn’t been taken out if her hiding. She stood up and brushed the leaves that fell to her dress. When she walked away, a sight beheld her--- the ruthless and masterful swordsman, Aemond was sleeping so peacefully under the weirwood tree. He looked so calm, probably his calmest sleep. But he looked like he was dozing off an eternity. Out of curiosity, Caraela approaches the man whose hands over the other on his stomach, and his feet crossed. A loose strand of hair clings to his face. Out of genuine curiosity, she picks it up and moves it away from his face. She longed to know what was beneath the eyepatch, does it hold a jewel or poison. He had a reputation for taking claim on the queen of dragons, Vhagar. As she was about to lift the patch, Aemond opens his eye and surprised Caraela out of her spot. She screeched in front of him and she attempted to run away from him.

“Wait! Please! Wait!” Aemond called out, “Let’s us talk, stay on your side.”

Caraela curiously stopped. To her surprise, Aemond did not move from his spot and too was careful to not provoke her escape. They both did not budge from distanced-spots for seconds. Suddenly, Caraela does not want to move away, she began to feel curious about Aemond, even though he had shocked her before with his lunatic display of affection. Aemond stood on his feet, Caraela did not move. He brought out something from his pocket, a gold bracelet, that belonged to her. He accidentally have taken it when he was about to capture her.

“My lady,” Aemond politely greets, “I wish to return your bracelet…before we part ways. Returning this would mean as my apology of years over lusting and trying to capture you. But I come to realize that I cannot ask for hope when there is none. So I return this bracelet and shall we see each other in corridors, let us be at peace as I know now that I am not worthy of your love.”

Aemond moves to her and gives her bracelet back. “Goodbye, my lady,” Aemond is out of her sight. Just like that, after years of running away from him, the prince who was given a pig with wings for a dragon as a trick has decided that day that he will no longer want her.

CHAPTER 4

-Dad. I have not been a child for a long time, I think I can dress myself for a flameday party.

-Maybe. But for me you will always be maybe twenty years old, time flies too fast.

-I can just see it, don't petrify me here old man.

Agreas excitedly talked to his daughter Aj while mending her clothes once again for her hundredth flameday. By demon standards, she was already a young adult, but Agreas still liked to treat her like a just teenage child who needed to be watched over for important events.

-And how are the party preparations going? Today in the morning you were running around like crazy.

Aj looked at herself with undisguised pride in the mirror. She loved elegant outfits and wanted to wear such at every party or even without such an occasion every time. Her favorite part of the outfit, was always a small cape with various motley ornaments which, according to her, not only always looked good on her, but at the same time she could finally feel like an actual daughter of the demon king.

-Everything will be ready soon. Unfortunately, this time I invited a little less guests than usual, I do not want the same thing to happen as in the previous party... complete chaos.

-Ah, oh no! So this time instead of inviting the whole city and still all the nobles, you only invited three quarters of the city and half the nobles. I saw this huge list on your desk.... It was maybe just a little smaller than before. How will I manage with such a handful of guests?

A feisty and sympathetic smile was gently painted on her face. She loved her father, however, at the same time she was aware of his perfectionism, which she often laughed at to bring him down to earth.

-Ah... sorry my princess for so little, I should remember that such a number of guests is an insult, next time I will still call up demons from the other side of the world, I think this will be enough already?

-Of course! Sounds great! Even with such a number I am satisfied, maybe I even prefer it that way.

-This is what I thought.

-Surprisingly only few guests from the south.... They are very nice!

-I don't know if you want you to hang out with those....

-Don't exaggerate, they have such a nice dark complexion! Have you seen a demon in our house with such! They are wonderful!

-And probably at the same time they are full of germs....

-Dad, you continue to exaggerate.

-Maybe, I still prefer you to be careful.

-Whatever you want, fossil.

Further banter between them was interrupted by one demon from the servants who entered the chamber after knocking. He was carrying a letter, which he immediately handed to Agreas and then stood proudly waiting for further orders.

-From the far North a letter?

-Yes sir! They ordered to warn you to meet with.... "Him." Rumors are beginning to spread that "he" is somewhere in their lands and you need to be as careful as possible because of this! As a higher help, I also recommend not to ignore it.

-But it is, after all, very far away... and even if he were to get through here, we have such a guard that he would not survive even a minute crossing the city limits! I recommend searching, but the plans do not change.

-I understand my lord. I know it's not my head to question orders, but I don't feel it's a good idea not to change plans with such information.

-This is the most important party of the whole year! I can't just cancel it when everyone is about to arrive. Go to the guards and give them orders to guard the gates.

-Understood. I wish the king a good time as well as you, Miss Aj.

The servant soldierly stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him. Aj, on the other hand, became intensely interested in the person they were talking about and at the same time was surprised that she knew nothing about such a person, she thought her father had no secrets from her.

-Dad. Who is this... "he" you were talking about?

-Ah... no one important dear, it's just that he is not welcome here....

-That doesn't really sound like an answer to my question....

-You'll find out soon enough, I'm not going to bother you with it on a day like this... it's a matter of what doesn't concern you for now, and let's stick to that.

Agreas' answer had a completely different effect than intended, but AJ did not move further on the subject because she knew that her father was quite stubborn and would probably continue to stand by his own and not answer her questions about the stranger, despite her pleas.

The father and his daughter set off after getting ready to enter the great throne room where the party was to begin. Sheaves of white light from the ceiling added to the eerie atmosphere and at the same time there was a perfect view through them of the thrones for three people, for Agreas, her daughter Aj and once also for his royal wife Lilith who tragically died by ambush during the eternal war between bloodthirsty angels. Agreas never allowed her throne to be hidden, it was too important a memento of her for him. Beautifully decorated tables were already prepared all around, and servants were bringing out more and more beautiful and wonderful-smelling dishes from the kitchen for the guests. Agreas, however, instead of looking at the preparations closely watched his daughter who leaned her arm against the banister, she was happy and that was the most important thing for him at the moment.

-...I am surprised every time, how beautiful it is here at this time.... these flowers, tables.... it's a pity it can't be like this more often.

She looked at her father with a gentle smile. She was well aware that her father was watching her closely, but Agreas strenuously tried to pretend that this was not the case by looking off into the distance at some unknown point.

-Well, if it was like that more often you would quickly get used to it. And so I can see the same beautiful smile every year.

-You are exaggerating old man. my smile is the same as everyone else's.

-But it's my daughter's smile.... this one is special.

Aj lightly put her head on her father's shoulder.

-...Thank you. It's nice to see you happy too.

He stroked her gently on the head. At this, dishes of a higher caliber than the previous ones slowly began to enter the room. These included trays of sweet snacks as well as cakes carried by several demons. One of the demons, clearly frustrated by the work of the others, began to conduct the rest of the service to make sure nothing fell on the floor. Seeing this scene and what they were carrying Agreas looked at his daughter again this time with a face full of seriousness.

-...Just don't eat all the cream cakes again please. Others would also like to try them at least once.

The daughter's face automatically went from a smile to one full of regret.

-...I won't promise something I'm not capable of doing.

-Creator give me the strength....

-This is your fault! If they were more often I wouldn't eat so many of them!

-But these are a whole three big trays.

-Yes, So what?

-...

The first nice guests invited by the servants slowly began to enter the hall. Dignified and beautifully dressed, they also wore all sorts of masks as part of the fact that Agreas had asked them to do so before the party as a surprise. Some had beautiful floral or sun and moon symbolic designs, while most had beautiful all kinds of colors. However, among the crowd of demons as well as individuals from other worlds, AJ noticed the already familiar silhouettes she least wanted to see at the moment. -...There they are again, that multiversal abomination, also known as Magids.... These ones you might not have invited. Every year I ask you to do so.

-Don't exaggerate, they are not so .... bad.

-They literally wished you a quick death to be able to fight for the throne.... did they really have to come here?

-...Just don't pay attention to them, they are part of the family then I have to invite them.... our honor depends on it darling. There are enough guests that you won't even have to talk to them or even look at them.

-...You know very well that Mercury is unlikely to miss this opportunity...a nightmarish asshole and even worse, a poser.

-I won't miss the opportunity to threaten him either if he gets even a millimeter too close to you.

These words lifted Aj's spirits a bit, though she still felt that hosting Magidans for such a party was not too good an idea on her father's part. He, however, was just too honorable not to do it, which she understood, but still hated.

Soft, live and energetically played pleasant music surrounded the entire room as well as the guests. Each of them was very different and strongly deviated from the norm, they were foreign and at the same time similar because they were from different worlds. Aj although she was already accustomed to guests from other worlds, she still felt a slight uneasiness as she walked past each of them.

-...It's been a while...why can't I get used to it? I feel somehow strange.... But it will be fine.... Dad wouldn't invite some psychopaths here.... right? True... certainly true, Aj calm down, they are just like you.... only... different... ugh. What is happening to me!

She spoke to herself in spirit and tried to calm her overloaded mind. To relax a bit, she stood at the food table and slowly ate the cream cakes one by one while sincerely hoping that these would somewhat calm her hypersensitive alertness today. She just felt that something was wrong, and at the same time she wasn't reassured by her father's conversation with the servant when they talked about "That Someone" and further wanted to know who it was they were talking about. Seeing a very disheveled and unsure princess, a demon with a beautiful snake on his shoulder with golden eyes approached her.

-Good evening Princess Aj-.

-I DON'T EAT ALL THE CAK!.... Oh... good evening, sorry. I mistook you for my father....

-Nothing happened! I just wanted to ask if you were okay, you look shaken. The boy took off his mask what he had on his face. He had a snake-like tongue drawn on it, as well as eyes reminiscent of the snake he was holding on his shoulder. his face also strangely had something of the reptile on it, mainly through his eyes, although in the end his facial features were very boyish and not threatening.

-Yes. yes. everything is fine.... I'm just surprised how many visitors there are here.... in the sense, it's not bad that there are so many... but at the same time it slightly intimidates me.... you know what I mean, right?

-Yes, yes! I understand... Or rather, I understand that it's just hard for you. But it's nothing wrong! It happens to everyone.

He was clearly confused and didn't know what to fully say. Only after a moment of silence did he try to restart the conversation while smiling warmly.

-I forgot to introduce myself to you, I am Serpient! I deal with snakes on a daily basis and your father is very fascinated by it, which is why he invited me here. I also wanted to meet you personally! He decided when I talked to him that you will definitely love snakes too! To this I brought with me my favorite... His name is Apophis and he loves new company!

A gentle blush appeared in the boy. However, Aj didn't even notice it, because she didn't look at him too frightened and embarrassed come on she listened carefully to what he was saying.

-I understand... what kind of snakes do you mainly deal with besides him?

-King pythons! They are so beautiful often.... that's what my friend is too, would you like to hold him perhaps?

-Sure... I MEAN-

Before Aj could voice any objection, the huge and powerful snake was already hanging on her shoulder and slowly climbing up until its head was close to Aj's terrified face. She was already expecting the worst, that it would strangle it, maybe bite it, maybe it really is a mimic that can change shape, but in the end nothing of the sort happened, the snake just licked her on the small, sharp nose and rested its head against her shoulder. -And he's already taken a liking to you! Ha!!! Actually with the fact that he likes to meet new people I lied a little, So you must be seriously special that he treated you like this! FASCINATING!

-That's for sure.... f- what a cool guy he is... but can you please take it off my hand already very please. please please please please.

...

Agreas noticed Aj and Serpient talking among themselves. He was pleased that his daughter was finally able to find someone to talk to after being cooped up for so long. He was so focused on this that he didn't even notice when a young woman approached him with a tiny notepad in her hand. -Are you Agreas, the king of all demons?

It was only when the girl spoke to him that he got down on the ground and looked somewhat puzzled at her. she was wearing a beautiful red and white mask with tiny pointed eye holes through which the coal-black empty pupils could be seen. He felt a mild discomfort with her, a strange feeling he had experienced much earlier in another situation. However, he didn't let it show in order not to come off as rude.

-Ah, yes it's me... I'm sorry I was thinking, do you expect something specific? Something to help you with?

-Not really... I just wanted to get to know you a little better. And I won't say... I feel lost among so many visitors.... I'm not used to large crowds.

The woman took off her mask and smiled friendly at him, to which Agreas himself also responded with a smile and handed over a glass.

-I think I can help you relax a bit before I have to go give a speech, do you like whiskey perhaps?

-Even very much, thank you. I didn't think demons could read minds.

-Ah, no. I was just guessing.

Agreas poured the woman's liquor into a small elegant glass. While doing so, she stared at him apparently thinking hard about something.

-This is the first time I've seen a party at a demon's house... it's often described differently in books what I know, it's apparently quieter here... without many.... strange things.

-I've never seen too many human books, but if they describe it as a fire dance and general agony, then no.... have not been like that for a long time. Rather, one doesn't see such in modern demon parties anymore.

-What do you mean by "Modern demons"?

-The mentality of humans as well as demons is changing rapidly. This place used to be not so friendly to outsiders. There were many wars, assassinations, deaths of innocents.... I am not personally proud of them, but the past, unfortunately, I will not change. Some deaths had to happen, such life.

-I understand. What must have happened that so much has changed?

-...It's quite, difficult matter...back in the days when my little Aj was just an innocent flame....

-You don't have to say how difficult it is for you.... sorry.

The woman averted her eyes slightly and looked at the notebook. A slight embarrassment was visible on her face.

-Nothing happened. I have long since come to terms with it is what I can say. It is no secret. Her mother, and my wife was brutally murdered by angels.... torn apart, stripped of any dignity... angels are horrible creatures wanting only power, death and the attentions of the higher powers.... I did not want my people, to have to be the same as them after the war, I decided that my once love of war and death I would stifle.... and live in peace with the rest of the world. I do not regret this decision, although sometimes it is difficult.

He once again looked back at Aj, the woman also looked at them and on her face was painted a picture of deep compassion as well as understanding.

-...She must have a really good life with you right?

-I hope so.... I wouldn't forgive myself if she didn't....

-I understand... It's, quite charming.

The woman finished her drink and put the glass back on the table while putting her mask back on and writing something down in her notebook.

-Sorry again for such an intrusion, but I really wanted to meet the king of such powerful beings as demons. And who knows, maybe I will make a decent research paper on your topic too, which is not outdated by the way.

-This is good to hear, I am honored. A little curiosity is always useful because it makes history! And I am glad how I could somehow help.... Unfortunately, now I must excuse myself for a moment, I want to give a speech for my daughter.

-All right, I hope there will be another opportunity to talk later?

-Of course, I am looking forward to one.

The woman waved to the demon king and moved quietly into the crowd. Agreas, on the other hand, went to his throne to make a very important speech for the kingdom, as well as for his daughter. Aj was already waiting for him and kept looking at her hand watching it closely.

-I'm usually the one who has to wait for you.... something happened?

-No... all is well, I just can't wait for you to finish chattering.

Agreas stroked his daughter's tender head with a warm smile.

-All right then, today will not be such a long speech.... I saw by the way that you finally met the snake boy.... he seems very nice!

-Yes, yes... he is, very nice. A snake too, or something.

-I don't hear much confidence in your voice-.

-Long story, I'll tell you when you're done talking.

-These flames today....

Agreas informed the servants with a movement of his hand what was about to happen. All the lights turned toward the throne and the guests, intrigued by this, immediately looked at the king and his daughter standing proudly on the pedestal.

-This day is not just important for me, but for all of you! My daughter, and our Princess Aj, has just reached one hundred years of age and thus has reached adulthood! I will kindly ask you to applaud her!

-Dad. no need... really. Aj barely mouthed anything out of a rather strong, all too strong stage fright. However, the crowd without noticing it began to clap politely. Agreas continued after the applause had already ended.

-Today's date will go down in history, but only for this reason! As my daughter is already an adult, I want to give her a gift.... Which will not only be for her, but also for all the people!

-What are you ... dad...?

-Four thousand years ago I sat on this throne.... However, I could not always consider myself a good ruler during this period.... I turned out to be a tyrant.... I led armies into wars that could not always lead to success. However, I learned my lesson.... and I proved to all of you that anyone can change! I've worked my whole life for it... and I also won't be younger anymore. I am a tired older demon who only holds the scepter in his hand.... THAT IS WHY, I HAVE MADE THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION FOR ME, AS WELL AS FOR YOU.... AND I HAVE DECIDED, I NEED A REPLACEMENT! Aj began to look around the room in disbelief, the whole crowd began to cheer, but after a while it quieted down again to hear the end of the speech.

-AJ, MY Daughter, THE YOUNGEST AND ALSO THE ONLY OF MY FAMILY....

Aj was too confused and excited to look at her father. That's why then, she noticed a strange light what was flying from the crowd towards her father with great speed.

-SHE WILL BECOME OFFICIAL TODAY....

-D-Dad...?

-MY DEPUTY TO THE THRONE. YOUR QUEEN FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE! FOR LIGHT AS WELL AS DARKNESS!

-D-Dad something is flying in your direction!

-CALL FOR A THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE!

The light suddenly hit with remarkable precision between Agreas' legs, a portal opened under him through which he began to fall.

-D-DAD!

The whole hall began to clap and cheer, and only a terrified, and confused AJ was left at the throne.

-... She looked nervously into the crowd, she didn't know if it was intentional or not. She felt immense pride and at the same time fear piercing her, and did not know completely what to do.

The portal as quickly as it appeared, also just as quickly disappeared without a trace.

She began to look desperately around the room, while trying to mimic that she was happy.

She had only one thought in her head "After all, her father would have told her as if he wanted to perform such a show.... right?"

All the servants, however, what was around unlike her were in no way as concerned as she was, maybe it was actually intended and her father just forgot to tell her....

...

Agreas fell through the portal without quite knowing how it happened. The first thing he noticed as he fell was the darkness, a piercing shadow all around him that stung him from the very beginning and went all the way into his bones. Once he fell after just a few minutes it could only get worse, he felt a massive pain from the fall and could not move any of his limbs. he felt like a helpless animal just shot off for fun by poachers. all he could do now was beg for help

-H-Help...! Where am I...! Hello!

He tried several times to get up, but he just couldn't. his body, maimed and broken despite its usually ability to regenerate fairly quickly, refused such help. The awful big shadows, slowly circling his body and poking at his limbs to make him feel the pain and agony even more. In between the darkness, however, he suddenly noticed someone, and wanted to call out to him to give him help, but then he noticed one detail in his appearance that frightened him.... It was a large hat from under which he could see an electronic eye glowing an aggressive red.

-Hello my not very dear Agreas, I haven't seen you for a long time.... You look a little broken since my last visit! I would like to acknowledge that I am sorry, but lying is rude.... It hurts badly, by the way?

-...Where are we? WHAT DO YOU WANT AGAIN CANAL!

Agreas tried to shout, however, the pain strongly prevented him from doing so. Unlike Mike who stood impassively over him trimly.

-This, my dear is the abyss. It is such a void between worlds for a while until the "Creators" develop it.... However, this one, is not accidental, Because once here stood the capital of angels... angels who fought so long with demons that their fate had to end so tragically.... Do you remember that, or has your memory not been the same for these few hundred years? -...You were not there.... YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN!

-But I absolutely know... Because you are a child of Apollyon.

Just as the angel king Cedric was then too, your mutual hatred and pride led to the destruction of this entire world!

You could not finish fighting! ONE HAD TO FINISH THE OTHER! And with all this, you did not just destroy this world!

You can also be proud of yourselves by the way, you were probably the first creatures what passed through the dimensions....Isn't that an honor?

-It was not my fault.... what is your problem with this! For such a thing you decided to attack me? and the rest of my family!?

Agreas' heart was beating very fast and aggression and envy possessed his head more and more, he was slowly losing his mind being around Mike. Mike himself took advantage of this and continued.

-You are part of the being that created the worst things of this multiverse... you are what is going to bring it all down... you are a disease, a cancer of this world what only a few know. You are worthless trash to be thrown away. NOT A SINGLE SCUM CAN SURVIVE, WHAT HOLDS THIS SOUL IN ITS CHEST!

Mike unexpectedly thrust a strange crystal into the demon's chest, followed by another, and another, and another.... Agreas felt pain again all over his body and tingling, he screamed and tried to get away from the ground or at least from Mike writhing as much as he could. However, the shadows were already wrapped around his arms and were penetrating even more with every movement. He couldn't even defend himself. -I read a lot before I decided to meet you again you know? instead of leaving your worthless carcass and existence alone....

I can store your soul in these crystals, making you never know peace, a wonderful technique.... Isn't it?

Mike, however, did not wait for an answer, and instead slashed Agreas' throat aggressively. He pierced his larynx as well as his vocal cords so that the man could no longer say anything or even scream. Once Agreas stopped wiggling and fell dead to the black earth, the crystals came out of his body and merged into one larger one, Mike looked at it and his heart started beating faster.... however, he ignored it and put the crystal in his bag while continuing to look down.

-...And as for your daughter, don't worry about her, she will find out about your death later tonight...and her death will be much more interesting than you can even imagine.

Aj stood as if she were standing at a standstill, while looking at the guests she did not know completely what to do in this situation.

"Maybe this is Dad's rehearsal of how I will handle a difficult situation?" she thought, and after this thought she abruptly stood as if at attention while trying to pretend to be confident. The crowd looked at her with curiosity, and the Madig family in the background smiled wryly at the new ruler of the demon kingdom.

-...I thank my father for such an impressive... gift. I am extremely grateful to him!Therefore, let's have fun until the morning! As long as the sun beckons in this beautiful hall! I guess.. Yea!

The guests once again clapped loudly for Aj. The joyful music, performed live by the servants even encouraged them to dance until they lost their strength.

Aj, however, stood only by the throne, anxious she could not, for a moment, shake off the thought that something had gone wrong at her coronation, she could just feel it. A shocked Sophia, her maid, came to her. She had an equally distressed look on her face as she watched the unhappy ruler.

-I saw what happened in advance. Was it planned Miss Aj?

-You don't know anything either? anyone knows?

-On the contrary. the rest of the staff is also terrified but we were told not to sow premature panic.

Fear and disbelief were painted on Aj's face after these words.

She took Sophie quickly by the hand and they ran out of the room.

-GUARDS: YOU HAVE TO SEARCH ALL CHAMBERS AND ROOMS! NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE MAIN HALL UNTIL MY FATHER IS FOUND! THIS IS NOT EXERCISE! HIS EXIT WAS NOT PLANNED!

She screamed while running down the hall. The maids, squires, cooks as well as the rest of the staff, equally terrified, started searching all the rooms they happened to have on hand.

-Dad must be here somewhere.... he couldn't just disappear like that!

-Some up the hall as we watched said it was an inter-dimensional portal.... so one cannot be sure-

-I SAW WHAT HE HAD UNDERFOOT! HE MUST BE HERE! AND IF HE'S NOT, I'LL FIND HIM PERSONALLY ANYWAY AND NO ONE WILL LEAVE HERE UNTIL HE'S FOUND!

Suddenly, one of the maids opening the door to one of the bedrooms fell down with a scream, AJ automatically came over to see what happened.

...

Blackjack left the party immediately after completing the task.

The execution from her part of the plan was precise and flawless. No one noticed her and at the same time she didn't perform too much chaos which was a good sign. She waited for Mike in front of the castle gates and during that time decided to talk to Jeremy on the phone. ~Hey are you feeling well after leaving the hospital yet?

Are you sure it was a good idea for you to leave early?

~Yes, it is definitely better, although sometimes I can still feel the stitches on my abdomen a bit....

~This is what happens when you leave the hospital earlier than planned by the doctors.... you should really lie down a little longer.

~I have bed in my home jer. And in the end nothing really hurts anymore, trust me it is fine.

~All right... On another note, what are you doing now? I seem to hear music from far away.

~I am waiting for my employer after doing my part of the job.... It wasn't hard, although a bit stressful.

~At this hour? Strange this job....

~Just like any other. You yourself often pull nights in the hospital and are probably even in it now. And instead of being at the patients you talk to me.

~It's not the same. you know it yourself.

~I know, I'm just teasing.

~Mmmhm, and just out of curiosity. what did you have to do in this job?

~I don't know if I can tell you too much. It's quite... it was a strange task.

~Amelia. Don't get into some trouble again, isn't it enough for you that I've had to get stitched up a few times already?

~I'm not! Just... it's complicated, I'll tell you one day.

~You don't sound very convincing.

~You wouldn't believe me?

~Never in my life~.

~Dup.

~Liar.

~A loser from school. They laughed softly at each other over the earpiece.

It had been a long time since there had been a situation for them when they could simply laugh at each other while continuing to adore each other. Blackjack, however, suddenly heard footsteps, so she said a quick goodbye to Jeremy and looked at a slightly out of breath Mike.

-Isn't this the age to run anymore?

-We'd better get out of here quickly.... Before someone realizes.

-..What have you done-.

A demonic scream full of rage and despair was suddenly heard from the castle. Mike grabbed Blackjack by the arm and looked her straight in the eyes.

-Open the portal before someone sees us.

-Ey, I'm asking you something! WHAT DID YOU DO THERE!

-NOT NOW, OPEN THE PORTAL, IMMEDIATELY! She created a portal and they quickly ran through it.

Blackjack almost fell to her knees once they were already in London. She looked questioningly at Mike while he had his head lowered and was panting.

-As I tell you . open the portal. then you are to open it, clear?

-...What the hell did you do that someone shouted so much! And not to me in such a tone!

-I left Agreas body on the bed, satisfied? I promised him that the demons would find out about his death the same night.

-You. WHAT DID YOU DO!? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BLOODY DISCREET! BESIDES, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM THAT THEY SCREAMED!!!?

-They would have found out sooner or later anyway.... I pierced his throat... and I took his soul into the crystal, he will never cause trouble again and his soul will not return to Apollyon. Unless something happened that I would not want to happen....

Blackjack looked at him with a blank stare and took a few steps back. Mike, seeing this, calmed down slightly and moved closer to her while toning his voice.

-Come on. You knew yourself that he was going to die... and as they have his body, they can at least give him a nice poke-.

Mike received a blow from Blackjack right in the face.

The one by the impact of the blow took a few steps back and his hat fell on the wet sidewalk.

-...You are insolent. He has a daughter, you know that right? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TREAT THIRD PARTIES LIKE THIS IN THIS SITUATION! ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO HER NOW!? ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF SHE HERSELF IS APOLLYON'S CHILD?!

-...I only do what is necessary. And his daughter probably will not feel it anyway.... She probably has a throne now because of that too.... she only wants power. She's a demon, that's what matters to her, you should know that by reading your pseudo-scientific books.

-...You once had a friend who died, and at the same time had a daughter.... and you seriously still do not understand what I mean?

Blackjack moved down the street without a word.

Mike did not stop her, he understood perfectly what she felt at that moment. He felt guilty, but at the same time he knew that this had to happen. Therefore, only one word could come out of his mouth.

-...I'm sorry.

...

A few minutes passed, for Aj, however, it felt like hours.

The medical servants took Agreas' body gently and went with him quickly through the long corridors of the castle. Aj followed them, weeping as she looked at her dead and blood stained father whose eyes were further open, only emptiness as well as sadness could be seen in them.

-Did anyone know about this beforehand? How could this have happened!?!? Who is responsible for opening the portal in the great hall, IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO ANSWER!

-Quenn AJ, no one knows anything so far, you must wait for the right person what will take care of this matter-.

-BUT I CAN'T WAIT, I NEED ANSWERS NOW! Now...

Sophie gently stopped AJ holding her by the shoulder. The queen could not stand the emotion and began to cry harder while hugging the maid. Sophie tried to calm her down and comfort her, while stroking her like in the days when Aj was just a baby. -My Queen...

Aj. You won't be able to do anything by going after them, now you have to deal with making sure the rest of the demons find out what happened.

-...And what am I supposed to tell them! I just became a ruler.... Sophia, I'm scared...I don't want to go there! I can't go there...

-You are the queen, you have to do it. And after that we will also be able to find out what happened.... Go there please.

She grabbed Aj's hand and walked with her inexorably towards the great hall.

-...No...I can't! you hear me!?

-You have nothing to fear, you are the queen here now! Get up and tell them!...do it for the people! Do it for us...

-... Aj hugged Sophia tightly before entering the room.

She felt her fear, her shaking body and a string of tears of despair after such a sudden loss. Besides, she couldn't blame her, she understood perfectly well what it was like to lose such a close person. However, Aj was now the queen, she had to reap no matter what the situation was, keep her cool and at the same time support the people so that they began to support her as well. The music had long since stopped playing through the confusion.

The puzzled guests, already without masks, looked around perplexed and tried to understand what was actually happening now. Aj stood at the balcony, heartbroken in spirit yet trying to be a good ruler on the outside. She looked at everyone and, after taking a few deep breaths, began a big speech.

-...Your king, my father.... He has just been found.... dead, in his own bedroom. The portal you may have seen during my crowning ceremony was not planned...someone must have kidnapped and killed him then.

Faces full of fear appeared in each of the guests. At the same time, the Magid's eyes were as they always were, cold and without any sympathy. They didn't really pay any attention to Aj's words and only continued to drink the beverage what happened to be on the table. Aj, however, ignored them, took a posture of attention, felt a sudden surge of determination and wanted one to come to the people as well.

-In his last words, he entrusted me with his throne.... I am extremely grateful to him for that and I would like to thank him for that.... and I will thank him, only in a different way than with empty words. I APPEAL THIS TO YOU, MY FAITHFUL DEMONS, HELP ME FIND THE CREATURE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS GREAT LOSS. LET HIM BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEEDS THAT CAN NEVER BE FORGIVEN! LET JUSTICE BE DONE! LET IT RULE OUR WORLD! LET MINE, AS WELL AS YOUR FAMILIES.... BE TOGETHER SO THAT NO MORE SUCH TRAGEDIES CAN OCCUR! MAY ALL DEMONS LIVE!

She suddenly heard applause, shouts full of determination and willingness to fight. They made her feel, for that moment, pride and readiness for what was to happen in the next few days. Suddenly, however, she noticed the Magids again, and they came to her on the balcony. Uranus, Mercury's mother looked at Aj with clear contempt which she clumsily tried to hide under an empty smile. -Are you sure... that you are up to it?

-What do you mean.

-I mean... that you are still young, and for that you are a descendant of Agreas.... I don't trust you to be competent enough to rule now if I'm honest. However, I can help you as you wish.... My son would also be able to sit on the throne, it's always extra help in the end and at the same time he is more competent to do so.

-No thanks. I think my father knew perfectly well what to do by giving me the crown.... Especially when Mercury is as old as I am and he wasn't even considered for the deputy throne. She looked from the corner of her eye at Mercury with a biting smile. A great frustration began to be clearly painted on his face, visible through his red blush. His dream had always been to have royal power and prestige, but Agreas had instead always dismissed him at every possible opportunity. Uran gently stroked her son's face and looked coolly at Aj. -As you wish. However, young lady, keep in mind that we will be watching your hands. We will not tolerate you as we did your father before, you were worth each other anyway.... weak on the throne as much as family. scandal....

-So sorry Mrs. Uran... and now excuse me, there are more important things on your mind than unfulfilled ambition.

Aj left the room to get away from the Magidans as soon as possible and, above all, from Mercury, whom she felt like killing on the spot. Sophia was already waiting for her at the door and as soon as the ruler appeared she hugged her. -You did phenomenally well! You will be a great ruler Aj... I feel it with all my heart. The maid gently began to stroke Aj, the latter no longer shook as much as before and stood upright while also hugging the maid tightly.

-...Thank you for thinking so.... Please bring out all the guests in a moment and clean the hall.... From tomorrow everyone is to be ready to seek information about what happened.

-understood... it's late Queen Aj, can you manage to sleep? How about accompanying you to your room?

-No, I can manage... I need to be alone for a while to think it all over.... Thank you for being Sophia.

-You're welcome... good night queen Aj.

...

Blackjack was walking home down a dark street. Gently crying, she thought about what had happened during the party. She felt guilty and at the same time had in her mind that maybe it was right after all, the confusion in her mind intensified more and more. However, there was also another feeling, the worst you can feel when you are alone in the middle of the night... it was the feeling of being watched.

It was quite Hard to write this…. but here it is at last! Thank you as always for reading! And I have nothing from the announcements in total, so have a nice day, and that's it! :>

Review of Hungers as Old as This Land (Zachary Rosenberg)

(Also on Goodreads)

(I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.)

For many of us who perused bookstores in the pre-internet days, especially lovers of genre fiction, we took what we could get. In the town where I lived, we had 2.5 bookstores (the half was mostly kitsch and Hallmark figurines with some books shoved into the back corner), and only one with a dedicated horror section. King, Koontz, Saul, Barker, McCammon, Lumley: that was what was in the horror section, so that's what I read. And don't get me wrong, the books were good. I still read those authors today.

But selection was limited.

The current resurgence of horror popularity is not only MUCH appreciated by this child of monsters and mayhem - it is also no longer a McDonalds menu of familiar choices. The internet, indie publishers, a new generation of writers willing to push the boundaries of the genre and often break right through: horror is, for the moment, a feast even Hannibal Lecter could not deride as inferior. A lot of brains at this table!

And one of my FAVORITE new trends in the horror genre is taking the creeping fingers of dread, the soft touch of something down the back of one's neck, and saying, "Yeah, yeah, this would be terrifying, but what if it ALSO TOOK PLACE IN -"

1340s England, 1980s New York, 1600s Ottoman Greece, 3000BC Egypt, or - in this case - 1880s western America.

Rosenberg has taken things that are often still viewed with suspicion or even outright derision in 2023 - LGBTQ, the mixed race or racial minorities, religions that are not comfortably WASP - and tossed them into a world in which all of the above are rarely mentioned, much less given a chance to helm the narrative. Western classics tend to focus on white male characters, with perhaps a few Native American or black men on the side, and women an afterthought unless clucking wives left behind at the homestead or possibly a sassy prostitute or two who will pop in and just as quickly back out.

Jews in the Wild West? Lesbians? Biracial characters who are not defined solely by that?

Rare.

Here, we get them all. Rolled up into one feisty package of Esther Foxman and her significant other, Siobhan O'Clery, we have two women who, by every rule of "normal" Westerns, cannot exist - I'm not sure even Gene Autrey or Roy Rogers would be able to Happy Trails their way into a campfire song to cover these two!

Esther's father, Abraham Foxman, fought alongside one Cyril Redstone in the US Civil War, but the paths the two men have taken after the war are, despite what seems to be the setup presented at the start, less predictable than many stories with a similar origin of camaraderie and unspoken debts owed. Without spoiling the central conflict, I was thoroughly surprised by the direction the story went with regards to the two men - just as Esther and Siobhan are not your typical Western protagonists, nor is the story going to lead you along familiar paths from beginning to end.

Not everyone comes out of conflict with any morality they ever had intact, and even more so this would have been true in the wilderness of the Western US in the late 1800s. Rosenberg deftly takes the setup, gives it a spin, and waits for the reader to catch up.

Esther and Siobhan are interesting characters, and there were several others I wish we had had more time to get to know, but perhaps that is a deliberate choice here: we don't always get what we want. That is key here within and without!

One of my favorite things in the story, which works perfectly alongside "you may not get what you expect or what you want," is that the mystery of what lives in the Hungers, the mountains just outside the settlement of Grey's Bluffs, is stretched and stretched across the narrative. Anything the characters do not know, neither will the reader. Bits and pieces of SOME creatures existing in the mountains, of pacts made and promises honored, of glimpses of claws and the sounds of wet hunger: the reader has no way to know what these things are. Horror has long been dominated by the familiar ghoulies of the genre: the vampires, the werewolves, the ghosts and demons and spirits.

It is unusual, these days, to read a horror novel with the same uncertainty that must have met readers of Carmilla or Dracula, of The Turn of the Screw or Frankenstein: what IS the monster here, and how might it have been defeated? The need for answers can pull the reader along just as effectively as Van Helsing dragged a bunch of British young people (and one American) across England to fight a vampire, and here, we are absolutely willing to let Rosenberg convince us to come along.

Saying too much about either the plot or the "monsters" would risk spoiling the whole: this one is short and sharp, and absolutely best read with very, very little idea of what the reader is in for. So trust me: it works.

If I have any criticism here, it would be one of my own personal enemies in writing: Stephen King rails frequently against adverbs? I will probably spend the rest of my life doing the same about epithets! Someone or something may be described by what they are or how they look on initial meeting or if their name is not known, but beyond that, epithets should be dropped. I don't look at my cats and think of them as "the black one" or "the calico." The same is true of my own girlfriend, or my family. Yes, my brother has brown hair, but I think of him by his name, not as "the brown-haired man." I find it very distracting and narrative-breaking, though I know there are some who aren't bothered at all by this. So as with anything in entertainment, to each their own!

Overall, I had never considered how perfectly a "wild" or "unknown" land could parallel people who are unusual, especially in the time and place in which they live, but it is impeccably done here: Esther, as a woman who is both Jewish and half-Native, and Siobhan, as a woman of Irish descent and inclination to be raring for a fight at any time, and both of them as women in love with each other and clearly still working out how much the rest of the world will accept this, fit into the larger fractured oddities of life in newly-settled lands and with newly-discovered threats. These may not be the things a reader expects to find in a Western, but isn't that precisely why this works? Grey's Bluffs, the mountains called the Hungers, the denizens of those mountains, Abraham Foxman, Cyril Redstone - none of them fit comfortably into what is expected, and the characters and relationship of Esther and Siobhan reflect that perfectly.

I would have loved more development of all the characters AND the Hungers themselves, but as it is, the drips and drabs of information may be very intentionally given. This is a quick, scurrying read, and it would be very hard not to finish in one go - so maybe it's best it can be read in an evening! Horror-Westerns are a hot commodity right now, Hungers as Old as This Land is a perfect appetizer before plunging into a greater feast if the genre collaboration proves appealing. Give it a taste -

Bon appetit!

Hi im new to kdramas and I'm interested in a kdrama that is a romantic comedy and has a good ending any recommendations?

Welcome to K-dramas!

I'm so excited for you - you're gonna have the best time!

Before I select my favorite happy ending rom/coms, here are a couple of lists you might like:

Light & Fluffy K-Dramas with no Melodrama (Updated 10/2020)

Light & Fluffy K-Dramas & Web Dramas (Updated 10/2020)

Light and Fun Rom Coms with Happy Endings:

Below are some of my favorite rom/coms that I feel like everyone new to k-dramas should watch.

Fight for My Way: I love this drama! The couple is one of my OTPs and it’s really funny and a mostly lighthearted story of a group of friends. It’s down to earth and adorable - I’ve never had anyone complain about this one!

Shopping King Louie: Ridiculously fun and lighthearted romp following a spoiled and useless chaebol with amnesia who is being taken care of by a country bumpkin in the city. Very low stakes, super adorable couple, and as many tropes as you can fit in your bag, this one is one of my favorites to recommend.

The Best Hit / Hit The Top: A famous 90′s boyband dude travels into the future and meets up with his family and friends in this really cute drama featuring Yoon Shi Yoon. I LOVE Yoon Shi Yoon in pretty much everything but this role was made for him - he is hilarious. It’s a slice of life but features the k-pop music industry so the setting is unique.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo: A K-drama fandom favorite! Adorable college romance about a female weightlifter and a super hot swimmer dude. I mean she’s hot too. Anyways, two cuties!

Oh My Ghostess: A shy withdrawn girl working at a restaurant possessed by a sassy ghost. Do I need to go on? There is a little bit of sad but for the most part it’s super fun.

Run On: I loved this slice of life drama about an athlete, a translator, a painter and a CEO so much that I have already rewatched it. This drama has so much to offer: Interesting and strong characters, a painter I’d die for and unique friendships. Did I mention there’s a legit ACE character? I mean... AMAZING.

Into The Ring: Seo Gong Myung is a hard nosed civil servant who ends up working with Goo Se Ra, one of my favorite ladies in a K-drama ever. She’s passionately ethical and into civil ordinance complaints (you read that right) which drives Gong Myung crazy, but like, in a “I’m definitely going to fall for you” type of way. This is a hilarious and heartfelt slice of life and I loved it.

Other Great K-drama Essentials I recommend to new viewers:

Coffee Prince: A classic (if 10 years old can be considered a classic) rom com with genderbending. It’s a great drama that really plays up the gay as much as a k-drama of it’s time really can and I loveeeed it so so much.

Healer: Everyone knows healer will always have my heart and it’s a super popular k-drama. Healer is played by Ji Chang Wook (swoon) and he gets involved with a feisty reporter played by Park Min Young (also swoon). It’s an action adventure with some very classic tropes: Rich people scandals, murders and hidden pasts. But it also has some of my favorite tropes: Beta Male Lead, childhood friends to lovers and traumatic pasts.

Extraordinary You/ A Day Found By Chance (fantasy/romance): This magical k-drama has my heart. It plays with all of the predictable tropes and then just goes crazy! While not perfect towards the end, I give this show bonus points for being super creative AND inspiring me to read a LOT of fan fic. I think about this drama more than any other.

Just Between Lovers (romance/melo): Slice of Life romance between poor trauma babies just trying to live! The OTP is one of my favorite couples EVER and even as the years go on, very few couples have matched their love in my opinion. There’s a lot of comfort/healing themes with for me is just *chef’s kiss.* Lee Junho became my bias wrecker because of that drama.

#kdrama #kdrama recommendations #i'm so jealous that anon gets to enjoy #fight for my way #healer #just between lovers #shopping king louie #for the first time!#ask me anything #kdrama recs #i love a list

Yandere!Peter Pevensie Headcannons

Ship: Yandere!Peter Pevensie x Reader

Warnings: A bit non/con, murder, obsessive behavior, superiority complex, possessive behavior.

Requested by: @flowercrowns-goodvibes

Author’s note: I feel like I could’ve done more, would you like a one shot?

I also really feel like Peter Pevensie would be a very awful Yandere, I hope you like it!

Do you know that feeling when you just passed with the highest score that one test in which you had to present a whole topic in front of the class?

Now multiply it by a hundred, and add the feeling of doing most of the work on your own, how everyone in your team owes you big time.

Well, that’s basically what Peter felt before meeting you.

Not at first of course, after defeating the White Witch he was only beyond relieved at all his sibling being alive.

But after just two years of being ‘the Magnificent’ it got to his head.

I mean, yeah, his siblings were also kings and queens, but he was THE High King

The one whose opinion mattered the most, not that anyone other than Susan ever fought him on his decisions. The one that was always being thanked, people threw yellow rose petals wherever he went, they bowed to him.

Even his siblings, Lucy loved him too much, Edmund was still ashamed of ever betraying them (a fact Peter was more than happy to bring up whenever Edmund questioned him), and Susan just didn’t care anymore.

But then there you were, lost in a world of magic.

Susan found you with clothes of their world, lying on the ground after galloping away from her most recent suitor.

You didn’t bow to them once you woke up, didn’t treat them like royalty, didn’t worship the very ground they walked in.

They weren’t your saviors, and you wouldn’t pretend otherwise.

He hated you, he hated how you wouldn’t adore them, it was more a matter of pride back then.

So he began watching you, trying to see what the fuck was wrong with you.

He would make puny excuses, saying he’s following you so you won’t get lost, he stays close to your chambers in case you need anything.

Soon enough, his little experiment got back to him. It became routine to see you through the crack in your wall, a hidden passage between walls.

At first it wasn’t anything to worry about, he was just watching you moving around, drawing, dancing.

Sometimes you would begin speaking out loud, voicing the silliest thoughts, he would roll his eyes and shake his head, until one day he couldn’t suppress the laughter.

The walls were so thick you didn’t hear him.

He also began spending time with you outside the castle, Lucy thought he was courting you.

But he was never truly happy, you were just too feisty.

He was about to stop whatever it was he was doing, until he catches the moment you decided to lock your door and undress.

He was already in his early twenties, but he had never once seen a woman naked.

He knew he should look away, but he just couldn’t, your body was hypnotic, and the tightness in his lower body was new.

The next day he felt as though there was a confidence between the two of you. One not even you knew about, and he hated you even more for it.

Soon enough he began dreaming of you, a more docile version of you, down to his every command, a you that craved for his attention so much you might die.

And he wanted it, more than anything.

There is nothing worse than a powerful man with only one dark goal in mind.

It became more and more often that he would dream of you, of touching you, of owning you.

But never of loving you, oh but you loved him, you loved him so much you didn’t have space in your heart for anything else, not a millimeter for anyone else.

It was his favorite feeling.

Edmund was the first to figure out that something was wrong.

He didn’t quite realize what it was, so he stayed quiet, watching it develop.

One day, Peter saw you from his window, you were in the gardens and a guard gave you a three lilac wildflowers.

He didn’t even realize how tight he was holding the frame of the window until the wood cracked.

The next day that same guard was publicly executed for conspiring against the crown in favor of the Telmarines.

As the guard was decapitated Peter never once looked away from you, the ghost of a crooked smile contradicting the severity of his eyes.

You were livid, pounding on his door only to yell at him.

You tried to slap him but he grabbed your arm, so tight a bruise formed, he backed you against the door and forced his lips into yours.

It shocked you, taking advantage of that he began moving his free hand, wandering through your body.

Until you kicked him in the nuts and left.

He has always taken care of all of his toys, but for the first time he wanted to break one and build it back.

You’d be all his, and he’d make sure you wouldn’t even want it any other way.

He’d extinguish your fire one way or another, after all, he was the king.

Poly Wolf Pack Wedding HCs(Pt.1)

Redacted Masterlist

Warnings: Slight mentions of NSFW topics, but more of friendly banter rather than graphic details

- So in this, I'm including David, Milo, Asher, and Angel.

- Straight out the gate, it's Asher and Milo who propose first.

- Milo mentions how his mom wants the four of them to get married, and Asher agrees

- "She won't stop yappin' about it. By how much she talks about it, you'd think shes more invested in our relationship than any of us are."

- "Aw give her a break, I think it'd be nice to get married to you guys. I call dibs on picking out the rings though!"

- "Over my dead corpse! I came up with the idea, I choose the rings!"

- Milo and Ash raced to the nearest jewelry store in town

- "I beat ya to the store! Not so feisty anymore huh, Milo?"

- "Can it, bottom."

- Unfortunately, in their rush to pick out the rings first, both of them forgot that they know absolutely nothing about wedding rings

- But, that didn't stop them from giving their all

- The poor assistant had to politely explain to them that no, they couldn't spend 4 hours walking them through the process of picking out the perfect ring, because the store was about to close

- "Sirs, I appreciate your enthusiasm, however I cannot change the store hours. If you want time to pick your rings out, you'll have to come back tomorrow"

- Flash forward to the next morning, they were there. Waiting outside the door of the jewelry store, and with a couple confused texts from David as to why the two got up so early

- Through much trial and error, and many stupid questions, they finally picked out the best rings available

- For themselves, they let their counterpart pick out their ring

(proposal + rings below cut)

- Milo picked out a nice, silver ring for Ash:

- And Asher picked out a forest themed ring, and thought it fit Milo nicely:

For David, the two thought a slick, rustic ring would do wonderfully:

- And lastly Angel's ring was(you can pick one)

- Once they had the rings lined out, they had to plan the long awaited proposal

- They rented a lodge during the springtime, and they had a week long get away with their lovers

- It was fairly secluded, the the boys could run about in their wolf forms without having to worry about covert rules

- On the final night they were staying, Milo and Ash made a grand dinner

- "It'll be a feast fit for a king!!! We'll make everyone's favorite foods!"

-"You mean I'll make everyone's favorite foods. Last time ya used a stove we had to change the batteries of the smoke alarm cause of how long it kept beeping'."

- "It was one time! Let me help, I promise I'll do good this time. You're acting like David."

- "Well David keeping you out of the kitchen was a blessing to us all, Ash."

- Despite much bickering, the food was made, and everyone loved it

- The actual proposal was started by Ash, since he let it slip too soon.

- "We hope you liked the food! We have a big grand gesture waiting for you after this!"

- Followed by Asher giving a painfully obvious wink to Milo

As much as I love slutty Peter Parker fics, there is something special about those Peter Parker is a virgin ones. Tony teaching him, well, everything there is to know about sex and how good it can feel. What are your absolute favorite tropes?

Omg I’m with you. I always write Peter as a virgin. No exceptions 🥴. My favourite trope is definitely virgin!Peter. And because I’m really big on loyalty, I usually glaze over Tony being a slut in my fics too. I won’t have him with other people even if he and Peter aren’t dating yet. Idk what you’d call that as a trope, but I do like the dynamic of Peter never sleeping with anybody who isn’t Tony, and Tony putting away his past and realizing he doesn’t like sleeping around anymore now that he’s got his soulmate Peter. 🥺

I also love “not actually unrequited” love. Like, Peter thinking Tony isn’t interested, or Tony rejecting Peter, but not because he doesn’t reciprocate, but because he ✨doesn’t want to hurt him✨.

I am also a sucker for hidden identity. Peter and Tony falling in love as “other people” and then coming together as their true selves despite all obstacles.

I also love fanboy/simp Peter because I like to project, and I am head over heels for Tony, so I like when Peter is like obsessed with him and would basically do ANYTHING for Tony. Of course, he still has to be a little feisty and backtalk Tony sometimes, but at the end of the day, he’d die for him. AND I like the same in reverse. Tony being totally whipped by innocent nerdy Peter 🥰😇. Like that meme where Tony is portrayed as Gordon Ramsay and he tells everyone (the avengers) to fuck off, and then it shows Peter, and he’s like, 🥰🌚🥺🤗 and says something super nice to him. HAHAH.

Ummm let’s see. It’s not exactly a trope but I LOVE Tony being a rich bitch but taking Peter to “normal” places like Burger King and 7-11, and just like strolling in as if he’s not Tony Stark, and Peter’s watching him like 🥴🥴 “I can’t believe I’m hanging out with Tony Stark rn.” Or Tony picking Peter up from school or visiting him AT school and showing everybody who Peter belongs to. But I ALSO like Tony dazzling Peter by taking him to really fancy restaurants and events, and buying him suits/tech.

ALSO Peter calling Tony, “Mr. Stark.” 🤑💦

AND them working in the lab together (this can be soft OR sexy)

Part of the whole virgin thing too is Peter coming really fast and multiple times while Tony has his way with him 😩

And also Tony being secretly insecure and vulnerable 🥺🥺 like he’s worried about his age, or his scars, or that he’s a fuck up, and Peter very aggressively and affectionately assures Tony that he’s The Best.

Idk I just really like Starker any way I can get it. Whether it’s soft 🥺or debauched 😈 maybe if I think of some more tropes I’ll reblog this and add to it. Feel free to share yours!!

🖤🖤🖤🖤

#starker #ask #suddenly I can’t even think of what a trope is #whenever anyone asks me a question I go braindead and forget everything I’ve ever known

I really want a Merlin fanfic where Morgana and Morgause aren’t “civilian-killing-level of evil” and form a pro-magic restiance with Gili, Kara, Mordred, Sefa, Daegal, Finna and Alator and Orn. Just imagine all the cool dynamics and the utter chaos.

Sefa, Mordred and Kara and Daegal would be “the kids”.

Morgana and Gili ( I assume Gili is closer to Morgana than the “kids” in age, and that Sefa and Daegal are about Mordred and Kara’s age) would be treated like the “older kids” in the family - old enough to participate in “adult stuff” like assasinations, but still treated as being more inexperience than the “adults”

Morgause would be the cool aunt teaching sword fighting and magic and encouraging everyone to reach their full potetional.

She's usually only nurturing towards Morgana. Morgause needs love like everyone else, but once she founds her little sister, the “caretaker compartment” of her heart was full. Morgause has a soft spot for kids because they need protection and guidance, and she respects that they are the future, but she just isn’t all that maternal. She is more a protector, leader and teacher than she is as caretaker.

She appriciates Kara’s and Gili’s feistiness though. They are her second and thir favorites after Morgana - when they don’t annoy her.

Finna, Orn, Morgause, Alator and Mordred spend most of their time keeping Morgana, Gili and Kara in check when their recklessness gets the better of them.

Morded also needs some railing in at times, due to his idealism and youth, even though he is usually more cautious than Morgana and Kara.

Merlin wants to join them, but can’t because he needs to stay in Camelot to protect Arthur

He is their inside man/ally in Camelot most of the time

Sometimes he would work against (at least some of) them because some of their plans threaten Arthur

He believes Arthur will come around to magic and create a golden age for both magic users and others.

The rebels have various level of faith in Arthur, and some just don’t want to wait for him to become king, and they can’t just protect everyone arrested for magic until then, even with Merlin as their inside man

This means going after Uther, but sometimes those plans put Arthur at risk because he is willing to put himself in harm's way for his father.

Freya joins them at some point. She survived her time in Camelot and left with Merlin, who helped here break the curse (maybe they met Finna or Alator who taught them how). But then a crisis in Camelot reminded Merlin of his responsibilities and he returned. Freya seattled in a druid camp and later joined the resistance

She becomes more confident, even though she is troubled and guilt-ridden because of what the Bastet did, and still realing from all the trauma she has gone through

She has a dry sarcastic humour. Really sweet and romantic (like how she talked about her home) and artistic, but definately practical and realistic at the same time.

She becomes good friends with Morgana and calls her out when she needs to.

The pair of them are the cool big sister’s to “the kids”

Freya is usually the voice of reason more often than not when “the adults” (morgause, finna, alator, orn) aren’t around, or get too caught up in something

So i like the character is a magic/mythical creature stories, but when it comes to wwx, it always seems to be his mom he gets it from? I'd like to see one where it's wwx's dad who's the dragon/pheonix/etc.

Donghua!MDZS verse

“I really want to go down the mountain,” she said. “I really, really want to go down the mountain. I want to –”

“Then go down the mountain already,” the old bird croaked, sticking his head out, and she jumped, surprised: she hadn’t seen him there, sleeping in the firepit under the oven. He was usually doing that, though in the main building rather than here; he was old, he said, and needed the sleep. “You’ve said it a dozen times over now. Who are you trying to convince, the air spirits?”

“The air spirits don’t care,” she said automatically, then sighed, sitting down next to him. “I want to tell Teacher. I’m just – practicing.”

“You’re normally so bold,” he said. “Since when do you care about consequences? You forget pain the second after it heals.”

“Hey, this is a big decision,” she said. “Going into the human world’s a one-way trip. I won’t know anyone there.”

“That’s not necessarily true,” he said, and laid his head on her lap. His beak is the size of her thigh, heavy and ponderous, and her hand, when she puts it on his head, sinks so deep into his feathers that she can scarcely see it. “You might meet ‘me’ down there.”

“You?”

“I’ve gone down the mountain myself a few times over the centuries,” he said. “Depending on what era you get popped out into, you might meet ‘me’. A version thereof, anyway; younger and more feisty than these old bones.”

“I’d like that,” she said, stroking his feathers the way she had since childhood. The old bird had been her constant companion, always there for her. “I’d like that a lot.”

His name was Wei Changze.

She recognized him at once, of course, no matter his human form (the nose that curved like a beak was particularly unsurprising), but the name somehow still came as a shock.

They didn’t have names on the mountain – they knew who and what they were, and so did everyone else. This caused the humans down the mountain some great amount of distress, which was why she was currently being addressed as Cangse Sanren as if that were her name; she acceded to it with about as much grace as she normally had, meaning not much.

But he had a name.

He was a servant, too. She didn’t mind that so much; for creatures like him, going down the mountain wasn’t a one-way trip the way it was for rescued humans like her – it was a means of gaining experience, trying out different facets of human life, and it didn’t really make a difference to her that in this life he was a servant, not a master. He was still her favorite companion.

She treated him the way she always did, tugging on his sleeves and running her fingers through his hair and coaxing him to put his head in her lap, and she didn’t think anything of it – didn’t think he would see it as anything more than he usually did – until one day he had enough of her nonsense and kissed her.

“Oh,” she said, and belatedly realized that her impossible childhood crush on a phoenix large enough to eat a horse was no longer quite as impossible. “Oh. Don’t you think I’m too young for you?”

“I’m not as old as I’ll one day be,” he said, laughing at her. Younger and feistier indeed! “And anyway, how many years do you think we really have left?”

“I don’t have many,” she pointed out. Everyone knew that the humans who walked down the mountain faced an early and often miserable doom; it was something that they had to accept before they went, and she’d always thought that the fact that they went anyway said something profound. About what, she wasn’t sure, but definitely profound. “You have as many as you like.”

He took her hand in his. “Be mine,” he said, and there are flames in his human eyes. “Be mine, and I will take on a share of your doom in this life; I will share your joy and your misery in equal kind.”

Well.

When he put it like that…

“Our son will be proud and strong,” her husband said. He looked immensely pleased. “He will have your humor, your boldness; he will have my creativity, my inability to be stopped. I will give him a gift of one rebirth.”

She wiped the sweat from her brow. “If he’s a phoenix like you, he won’t thank you; if he’s a human, he’ll mostly be confused by it,” she said. It was a strange fate to bestow - generally speaking one only needed a rebirth if things went wrong - but then again he was her son, he was probably doomed anyway. A chance at rebirth couldn’t hurt. “Can I see him?”

She looked down, a little long-sufferingly, at the over-large egg placed into her arms. Holding it in the light, she can just barley see the form of a curled-up human infant inside, looking quite smug about his comfortable home.

“He’ll need a few extra months in the egg,” her husband said. “To help calm the flames that would otherwise scorch his human skin.”

“Flames, hmm?” she asked, lips twitching a little as she looked down at the little miracle they’d created, just the two of them. She wouldn’t have gotten him if she’d stayed up on the mountain, and she thought that her little A-Ying would be a prize worth dooming them both.

“Green flames at his command,” her husband said. He was proud as a peacock, and she made no move to stop him. “He will be the king of birds, and ravens will come at his command.”

“Just ravens?” she teased. “If he ever spends time in Yunmeng, I suspect he’ll use the ability to lure out pheasants to hunt for his dinner.”

“A perfectly worthwhile use,” her husband coughed, clearly having done more than a little of that himself. “What are you saying?”

“Nothing,” she said, smirking. “Nothing at all…should we tell Jiang Fengmian about it?”

“About what?”

“Well, I mean – if we die, he’ll be the one to pick up A-Ying, won’t he?”

“More than likely. He liked you a great deal, my dear.”

“Not as much as he liked you. Anyway, if he’s going to have some part in raising our son, shouldn’t he know what our son is?”

“No,” he said, suddenly solemn. “He shouldn’t know. None of them should.”

“Very well,” she said. Her husband knew the human world better than she. “We’ll teach him what we can ourselves, and hope he remembers.”

He only remembered a little.

Hello againn!! May I ask prompt number 38 for Doffyy with female s/o? Thankyou sm!🌸

Prompt #38 With Doflamingo

A/N : heyyy, thank you for requesting again! I’m so sorry this took much longer than usual, I couldn’t think of anything for this, but I hope you enjoy! :)

note : angsty then fluff at the end.

Prompt #38 : “tread carefully, [Name]. You’re on dangerous waters right now.”

Summary : When Doflamingo finally pulls the last straw, you provoke him and leave. Yet, it seems you always return to him no matter what.

not good with summaries yall-

“I can’t believe you right now! You’re such a pain in the ass!”

Doflamingo leans back into his chair, a hand pressed against his forehead as he heard your shout towards him once more.

He could feeling his brain and sanity on the verge of explosion from how much stress you were building up inside him.

You were angry at him for the fifth time this week, all for the same reason.

He was pissing you off.

Most of the time, he did it intentionally. He would purposely make you irritated just to see you get all feisty.

He found it amusing to see your pouts and annoyance towards him, knowing that at the end of the day, you would be in his arms in bed.

But today was not the case.

Today, he deliberately ignored you the whole day, walking pass you and avoided you at all cost.

Which you certainly didn’t appreciate. Especially after working so hard on making sure the people of Dressrosa were happy and nothing was going wrong so far, with Doffy as king.

If the people weren’t happy, or if things went wrong with the toys in the Toy House, perhaps even the annual colosseum gladiator battles, you couldn’t imagine the level of anger and chaos that would ensue with Doflamingo and the country.

Ahem, Dressrosa arc—

So returning to the palace with Doflamingo doing his very best to act like you didn’t exist was not something you needed nor wanted right now.

“Doffy, I just spent the whole day, walking all over this country to make sure things are running smoothly.. why are you doing this?” You mutter irritatingly, pinching the bridge of your nose as you withheld a loud groan.

Doflamingo brings his hand down from his face and stares over at you with his usual shit-eating grin, however it seemed a bit forced.

“For my own entertainment.”

He said it so casually, you actually felt your heart sinking at his words.

You didn’t know why you put up with him so much, after all of this constant teasing and messing with you.

You let out a heavy exhale, hiding your pained and hurt expression as you turn away. “Right, of course. I only exist for your own amusement..”

Doflamingo didn’t say anything, his smile faltering just slightly at your words.

“Alright, well, I’m glad to have served my purpose today, your majesty.” You hiss out in a mutter, beginning to walk off.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Doflamingo asks, leaning back onto his throne and stares at you with an unamused look.

“Anywhere but here. I might even be gone for a few days or more. I’m not needed here anymore, it seems. I might try to go and find Law and his crew or something. At least they might treat me as human instead of some toy to play with.”

A small scowl made way to Doflamingo’s lips with his eyes narrowing. “I hope you’re joking.. I’d tread carefully, [Name]. You’re on dangerous waters right now.”

You ignored him and continue making way to the door.

Once you finally reached the exit, much to your surprise since you were sure Doffy would’ve pulled you back, you turned and glared at the king.

“I hope you had your fun. If you need something to cure your boredom again, I’m sure you’ll find a easy replacement, since it won’t be that hard for you.”

“After all, everyone here is just a tool for your own entertainment. Right?”

With that, you opened the door and slammed it closed behind you, leaving his sight and leaving him in silence.

Doflamingo sat there, reflecting on your words and his mistake.

“Don’t fret over it, [Name].”

You ignore Baby 5 and continue to pack your bag of your needed supplies, moving quickly to leave as quickly as possible.

“Are you sure this is what you really want?”

Hearing her question, you pause your actions and reflect on your memories.

Regardless of the many times Doflamingo messed with you, teased you, or hurt you, he always made up for it twice as much.

Whether it was showering you with all your favorite things, making it up for it in the bedroom, or made sure to shower you with his own way of affection, keeping you close to him and in his arms.

You stay quiet as you slowly began to continue to pack, still thinking deeply at her question.

“..I’m sure it is..” you murmur, eyes slowly closing as you accepted the truth. “I don’t even think he truly loved me.. probably only kept me by his side to help his boredom..”

Baby 5 frowns at you. She didn’t want to see you leave but she couldn’t stop or your choices. “I’m sure that’s not the reason.” She comments, in hope of trying to change your mind but she knew it was futile.

“I’ll come back in a bit.” You say softly, offering a gentle smile to her as you close up your bag and swung it over your shoulder.

Baby 5 stares with a sad smile, nodding reluctantly as she sighs and brings a cigarette to her lips. She was going to be sad, but she respected and understood your decision.

You gave her one last smile before heading out of the room and into the hall, exhaling gently as you began making way down to the front of the palace, mentally preparing yourself for your leave.

‘This is the first time I’m actually leaving on my own.. is it really the best choice?..’ You started to feel doubt running through you, reminiscing on the genuine good times you had with Doffy, times where he was vulnerable, actually sweet and endearing towards you.

Pursing your lips, you shook your head from the memories and reassured yourself that this was what was best for you.

“I’m done being a little pawn for his game.” You mutter to yourself, gripping the strap of the bag tightly in your hand as you sped up your walk.

It didn’t take long to reach front. Your steps slowed down, still processing the fact that you were heading out for a while.

Sighing, you look down at your feet and continue to walk, biting on your inner cheek as you thought to yourself.

When you reached the open air, making it to the outside, your eyes widen at the sight of the king standing right in front of it, hands in his pockets and him in his usual stance.

“Doffy.”

Doflamingo didn’t say a word, standing there and staring straight at you through his glasses. His lips was in a firm straight line.

“What do you want, Doffy?” You frown at him, securing your bag onto your back tightly as you stop in front of him at a distance.

“I want you to stay.” He said simply, unmoving from his position.

You narrow your eyes slightly and scoff. “Unfortunately, I can’t give you what you want this time, Doflamingo. Sorry about that. Please move aside.”

“No.”

Your brow twitched as you clenched your fists and inhaled sharply. “Fine.”

You continue your walking, heading straight towards him before turning just slightly to go around. You kept your vision straight, making sure to avoid eye contact with him.

When you finally reached a close enough distance, being right next to him, Doflamingo spoke.

“[Name].”

You stop in your tracks once again, keeping your head and posture straight and listen to him clear his throat.

“...I’m sorry.”

Doflamingo was apologizing?..

“You aren’t a tool, nor a toy to play with.” He continues, turning his head just slightly to look at you. He saw your tightened grip, seeing the whites of your knuckles as you listen to what he had to say.

“Don’t leave. Stay with me..”

If you listened close enough, you could tell how much he was struggling to speak and the faltering of his voice.

Doflamingo never begged, apologized, pleaded or have been so vulnerable before. The only time he was vulnerable was when he was with you, alone in the room. But even then, it wasn’t much.

So seeing him right here, completely serious and sounding so stressed and struggling with himself, you couldn’t help but be empathetic.

“.. One of the seven warlords and king of a country.. apologizing and being so sincere..”

Hearing your words made a small vein appear on his forehead as Doflamingo clicked his tongue.

“Damn it, I hate you Doflamingo..” you mutter in annoyance, dropping your bag and turning to face him, jumping into his arms.

You wrap your arms around his neck tightly and shut your eyes, Doflamingo’s arms wrapping around your torso and held you up.

“You really are such a pain in the ass.”

Doflamingo felt a small grin forming back on his lips, a genuine one as he held you close. “I’m aware.” He says as he leans down and pressed his lips to your head.

“You aren’t any better yourself.” He points out, making you smile slightly despite the previous irritation and anger you had.

“I know.”

A/N : okayyy, glad that this is out, I hope you liked it.

Also not one of my best works, it’s reallyyy hard to do Doffy honestly, no matter how much I love him.

Especially since I’m in Whole Cake and haven’t seen Doffy in a while lol so I’m really sorry if this isn’t too great :(
