Livia walked through the Valley of Thorns, carrying a bag with some of her stuff inside. She sighed and stretched, wearing her winter clothing. She walked up a path, heading to a cottage in the middle of the woods. She knocked, having not informed her parents that she was coming. She at first wanted to stay at the school due to the weather control it had, but she wanted to come home and spend time with her family. Sam also understood and said next year he'd bring her to his hometown so they could spend the Winter Break together and he'd show her around. She knocked again, footsteps coming from the stairs. "Here I come!" Thea opened the door, her eyes widening in surprise. "LILIA! LIVIAS HERE!"Thea called taking Livias bag and setting it down.
Lilia came downstairs and smiled, hugging her. "This is a surprise"Lilia smiled. "Yeah, but can I ask you two something..."Livia smiled. "Go ahead, what is it?"Lilia asked. Livia turned and stepped down the stairs. "GUYS! COME ON!"Livia called. Epel, Ortho, Cater, Sheryn, Kalim, Azul, Solem and Elliot came out, waving to Lilia and Thea. "Hi Mrs and Mr Vanrouge"Elliot greeted. "Can my friends stay here for Winter Break, we'll have a sleepover the whole week down in the living room"Livia smiled. "Oh yeah"Livia says. "YOU CAN COME OUT TOO!"Livia called smiling. Jaseem stepped out, walking over. "Oh your majesty!"Thea gasped. "Jaseem is also one of my close friends, can he stay as well"Livia smiled. "Wow, yes, all of you come in you must be freezing!"Lilia smiled surprised.
He helped the kids bring their luggage in, getting them all settled in. "Where's the others?"Livia asked. "Golden is spending the weekend with Vil, Maria is spending the week with Briar, Silver is here up in his room, as is Shadow"Thea responded. "Yeah then it's a good idea we spend our sleepover down here in the living room"Livia chuckled. Thea smiled, covering her mouth, her eyes starting to water as Livia and her friends laughed and joked around, taking their winter clothing off and hanging it up. "I'll go get snacks"Thea smiled walking away. She returned with bowls filled with snacks, setting them down. "Thanks Mom!"Livia smiled. She tossed a grape into Jaseems mouth, laughing when he managed to catch it.
"The Valley of Thorns is a groovy place Livia, thanks for letting me tag along!"Cater grinned taking pictures of them. "#hangingwithbesties, #sleepover, #havingablast"Cater smiled. Livia and Elliot laughed, smiling at Cater in amusement. "And posted!"Cater grinned. "Oh my Great Seven! Remember that one time when Royal Sword Academy visited Night Raven Collage, a fight almost immediately broke out!"Livia laughed. "Yes! Oh my Great Seven that was the most scariest moment! Ace was so ready to throw hands with Jaseem!"Elliot laughed. "And I would've kicked his butt as well"Jaseem smirked looking amused. "I have no doubt you would, unless Deuce jumped in!"Epel laughed Solem chuckling from the couch, watching them.
"Oh uhm Mum, Papi! I have two more friends coming over!"Livia called. Her parents laughed and nodded, a knock coming from the door. Livia and Elliot got up, heading to the door and opening it, finding Andy and Eric there. "Hey guys, come in!"Livia beamed. The four returned to the living room, rejoining the fun. "Did I tell you guys about the time Sebek mistook me for someone else because it was so dark in Diasomnia!"Livia laughed Jingles appearing and sitting on her shoulder. Elliot smiled, handing Jingles a cookie. "Oh yeah, I remember you told me about that! He screamed so loud it woke everyone up!"Sheryn laughed holding a handful of grapes. "I swear you'd be able to hear it from the other dorms!"Kalim laughed. "Sometimes I think I do hear him scream from my dorm"Azul chuckled smirking cheekily.
Livia laughed, snapping her fingers together, getting her and her friends all into their pajamas. "Jaseem what's it like being a prince and the cousin of Kalim!"Sheryn asked. "I get alot of arranged marriages, and I hated them!"Jaseem snorted rolling his eyes. "Sounds like it!"Andy laughed Cater joining him. "Ugh! You won't believe the women I went through and rejected!"Jaseem sighed shaking his head. "You won't believe how many boys I had at my feet as a child"Livia smirked hugging Po close. "She told me, she had almost all the boys here at her feet"Epel sighed. Livia looked over at her parents and waved, a small smile on her face, earning a happy wave from her mother. "I'm so glad she's made a lot of friends"Thea mumbled. "Me too"Lilia smiled rubbing her back.
The two retreated to their room, letting Livia and her friends goof off. "Okay, Secret or Truth!"Livia grinned. "Truth!"Elliot says. "Who do you like most out of us all?"Livia smiled. "I'd have to say Epel!"Elliot says. "Wow! So rude!"Sheryn grinned. Laughter came from them Shadow and Silver smiling as they watched before leaving the laughing kids be. "Liv, Secret or Truth!"Sheryn grinned. "Truth definitely!"Livia says knowing how cheeky Sheryn could be. "Have you ever kissed a boy besides Jack"Sheryn smirked. "If I say yes, what would your reactions be"Livia says. "GREAT SEVEN! WHO IS IT?!"Elliot gasped grinning. "I would like to know the answer to that riddle as well..."Solem smiled. Livia blushed, covering her face as her friends pestered her, Cater recording for evidence.
"I kissed Sebek once in the cheek"Livia says. "SEBEK?!"Epel laughed. "AS IN SEBEK ZIGVOLT!"Sheryn cackled. She nodded, flustered by the teasing remarks. "Ooooo girl!"Sheryn grinned. Jaseem chuckled, grinning at her amused. "Hey guys, what should we do tomorrow?"Kalim asked. "I can show you around the Valley!"Livia smiled. "Sounds good, I've always wanted to explore new places"Andy smiled the others nodding in agreement. "I know some food places to visit!"Livia beamed. She nodded to her friends and got up, Sheryn and Elliot following her upstairs to her parents room. "We're heading to bed"Livia smiled. "Goodnight baby, and goodnight to your friends"Thea smiled. Livia smiled back and returned downstairs with Sheryn and Elliot, finding her friends waiting for them. She laid beside Jaseem, smiling slightly then falling asleep.

I’m so sorry if this feels like spamming I’m just full of ideas today you can ignore me if you want
Charlie with an S/O that absolutely loves and adores her but is scared of entering and being part of Hells upper crust (you know since Charlie is the princess of hell, Satan‘s daughter, being in a relationship with her would absolutely mean you’re going to end up as being part of Hells upper-class)
Political Cold Feet
Tumblr media
You sat in the room you'd shared with Charlie in the hotel.
You were sat on your bed, going through the junk in your bedside cupboard.
Charlie was something of a scatterbrain more often then not and would regularly leave important things in your draw, so you made a habit of cleaning it out regularly.
And as you went through it, you came across a small stack of papers.
Pulling them out, you quickly realised they were the letters you'd sent to Charlie when you first started courting the girl.
They mostly consisted of crude poetry, relying far too much on rhyms and over used metaphors.
Then there were all your personal letters, telling her how much you admired her, describing what you loved about her in extensive detail.
They were sweet, in a youthful way, the letters essentially documenting the beginning of your relationship.
You were all warm and fuzzy going through them, and then thinking about how amazing Charlie was.
But at the bottom of the stack, was a picture.
It was a picture of you, Charlie... and her parents.
Now admittedly, while you were undoubtedly happy to be with Charlie, at that particular moment. No support from the demoness could help you from practically pissing yourself over having to meet Charlie's parents.
Oh and did you mention her parents were Literally Satan himself and his wife, the rulers of Hell!
The woman herself, Lilith, had been rather hospitable all things considered. Treating you with a neutral energy, the woman clearly watching your every move, but not in an inherently cruel way.
Now Lucifer, on the other hand, just relished in your anxiety.
Granted, one should expect as much from the literal Devil, especially if your dating said devil's daughter, but he certainly didn't make the encounter easy.
You first met the pair at a royal gathering, apparently the whole thing being Lucifers Idea, and you could see why.
You spent much of the time jumping through verbal loops, the man using every trick and loophole to turn the simplest compliment into a grievous insult or slight against the whole family.
But you held it together, much thanks to the efforts of your angel princess girlfriend. The girl regularly checking up on you, scolding her father for tormenting you so much.
It was long, and tedious, enduring Charlie's father' constant staring and criticism.
But honestly, as absolutely terrifying her father was. You knew there was only a very, very, very sizable chance he'd kill you and forge a break up, then suicide letter to get you away from his daughter.
But what really got you was interacting with the nobles at the gathering.
They were either tall and skinny, or fat and jiggly.
They were all bedecked in the finest of garments, and well, you had of course dressed well, not wanting your potential future inlaws to think your a slob.
But even in your Sunday best, you still felt like a bum. Especially with Charlie wearing a dress that was both elegant yet simple.
You felt like some shmuck that had crashed a party, a comparison Charlie's father was happy to make.
And there you sat, on the bed you shared with the most amazing girl in Hell, you could help but feel... afraid.
Afraid for your future. But not just your future, but Charlie's future.
You knew you wanted to be with Charlie forever and ever. Until the very foundations of Hell rotted away to dust, and then, if you could be together, you'd do so.
But the implications of actually being with Charlie, The Princess of Hell, those kept you up at night.
You weren't a political person, not really. You weren't stupid, but working through the political machinations of hells political class?
That shit was more complicated then solving a rubix cube, in the dark.
Borderline impossible.
Taking a deep breath, you let out a mighty sigh, flopping back onto your bed.
You laid there for a while, staring up at the ceiling, a thought on how the ceiling youd use a lick of paint crossing your mind.
You laid there for a long while, mind swarming like a bee hive, each Bee a new thought on what would be required of you if you ended up with Charlie and how unfit your are for such a position.
As you laid there, you were pulled from your thoughts by the bed shifting.
Looking up, you found Charlie laying the opposite way across the bed. Turning over you stared into her beautiful black eye-
I mean! her beautiful Red eyes.
"Hey sweetie." You told her softly, finger coming up and bopping her on her adorable Lil button nose.
Charlie gave an that adorable little giggle she always did when you did something simple and sweet, the girl curling up on the bed.
You laid there a while longer, your mind still caught up in maelstrom of fear, self doubt and gut poisoning dread.
You laid there for a while longer before you heard something.
Focusing back on Charlie, you raised an eyebrow. "What was that?"
Charlie smiled, proving herself up on an elbow she cocked an eyebrow. "What's wrong?" She asked in a voice not quite playful, but not quite demanding.
You laid there a while longer, before letting out a deep sigh, flopping your arms onto the mattress.
"I don't know... I guess I'm just..." You left it open, unable to truly vocalise your thoughts.
"Just what?" She asked, that oh so beautiful compassion of hers shining through.
You sighed, turning over and asking her, "Charlie... you know I love you right?" Charlie instantly blushed, pulling in on herself a little, before just nodding her head.
"Its just... Im scared Charlie." You finally got out.
Charlie instantly shot up, flipping herself over, she sat up, asking oh so sweetly. "What? What wrong?" She asked, panick quickly infecting her voice.
You smiled, touched with her concern.
Sitting up, you sighed once more. After another moment you began.
"You remember when I first met your parents?" You asked, giving her a small smile.
Charlie perked right up, telling you, "Yeah, that was a good day." Fondness Thick in her voice.
You snorted, "Yeah, maybe for you. You werent enduring a cross examination from the Literal Devil himself." You told her a little salty.
Charlie giggled, pushing her shoulder into yours. "Oh come on, you did well. He didn't show it, but I could tell my dad liked you."
You snorted again, "I'll take your word for it." You told her shortly.
"So is that it? Your scared what my parents think of you?" She asked, wrapping an arm around you.
"No, not exactly." You informed her.
"Well, it's sort of a part of it." You told her, sharing a little smile. "The truth is, I'm scared about being like your father. Like you..."
That peaked her curiosity, the princess scooting closer, softly asking, "What do you mean?"
You stared out the window for several moments before turning to her. 'Lucifer, she's so beautiful.' You couldn't help but think.
Reaching over, you took her hand in your own. "Charlie. I love you so much." You told her, a dusting of red quickly crossing her face. "And I want to spend all of eternity with you."
Charlie was getting all emotional, as she tended to when you started sharing emotions.
"But... to be with you. To actually be with you..." you sat there a few moments, mouth opening and closing as you tried to articulate this blurry, wiggly feeling in your gut.
"I don't know if I can be the person I need to be for you. And I'm scared I... I'm scared..."
"I'm scared I'm not good enough. That I can't be what I need to be." You finished somberly, hunched forwards.
You only sat like that for a moment because Charlie quickly wrapped you in a hug, telling you. "Oooh, sweetie."
Getting you to turn to her, she quickly asked you. "Sweetie, you know why I love you?"
Looking at her, you felt you should answer, but didn't quite trust yourself, so you played it safe and kept your gob shut.
"I love you because you're you." She finished, leaving you a little confused.
Seeing your confusion, the princess quickly elaborated. "Sweetheart, I grew up around snobby and despicable nobles. My first boyfriend was... only slightly an exception." She finished playfully.
That got a little smile from you.
"But your not like that." She affirmed, nuzzling into your shoulder. "You don't just want me for political power, or money or the million other things that people think comes with being with me."
She turned your head, staring up at you with those beautiful ruby eyes. You reached up, cupping her face, the girl quickly nuzzling into it.
"I love you, (Y/N)." She spoke as earnestly as she had before.
That seemed to snap something deep inside you, as tears began building in your eyes, leaning forwards, you pressed your forehead to her own, just holding the girl close.
You held her close, the two of you curling up on your bed, the girl just holding you close, hand gently running across your back.
After a long time just laying there, you sat up, looking your girlfriend in the eye.
Bringing a hand up, you cupped her cheek before bringing her close and bringing her into a deep, deep kiss. The girl while typically shy in regards to intimate kinds of affection, but this time she gave it her all, pressing deep into the kiss.
Breaking the kiss, you just laid there, gently panting.
With a seriousness you hadn't thought you had, you told her. "I love you Charlie Morningstar."
Charlie just smiled, telling you. "I love you too (Y/N)."
Hey Hey. I hope you like it, and I'd also like to know what you think about the new Charlie.
I like the redesign, but personally, I like the name mange. Morningstar just feels to obvious and Mange made them sound, I don't know, more domestic I guess. Like Lucifer doesn't need a fancy name, because I mean, he's literally Satan.
But I'd love to know what you think. Bye Bye.

Can we talk about Weiss in V8 chapter 13? Can we talk about how amazing she was in that episode despite all the batshit crazy insane shit happening around? Like it starts out with a full on Team RWBY Vs Cinder battle royale.
Tumblr media
Weiss is literally never still even for a second here. She's clearly learned from Volume 5 that staying still in battle for a fighter with her attack type is a bad decision so she's constantly moving over here appearing on all sides in a matter of seconds while keeping the movements of her teammates in mind as well.
Tumblr media
She's literally mid fight here half through zooming across the battlefield after an attack and she's already setting up a glyph to boost Blake up so she can attack Cinder keeping the momentum of the fight going in the split second she needs to move across.
Weiss's fighting style often leans to support and a series of attacks rather than one heavy blow. And support is probably the most complicated role to play in a fight.
It's all about insane mid battle calculation. She has to keep track of her team's movements to perfectly time her glyphs (also deciding what type of glyph based how her teammates are moving and their surroundings) and HOW EXHAUSTING IS THAT??? Because she not only has to keep track of the opponent's movement but she's also keeping her eye on three other people who are in continuing motion looking for any gap she can offer support in??? While constantly moving on the field and launching her own attacks in tandem with the others???
Tumblr media
The minute Ruby is falling back Weiss is already pelting ice picks at Cinder. And okay mad props to Cinder because this entire attack sequences from RWBY was hardcore and Cinder managed to dodge it all. And back to Weiss.
So we have this insane battle where everyone is mentally exhausted and then we have Neo attacking Ruby and Yang falling into the void. And I've seen a lot of people shitting on how Ruby and Weiss didn't react fast enough and let me just say they acted exactly how you'd expect them too.
I don't have the pic here cause Tumblr has a limit but if you remember the split screen showing Ruby,Weiss, Blake and Neo we can all see Blake already starts moving. Ruby starts getting attacked by a feral Neo a second later and has no time to even process any event(a running theme this volume Rubes your breakdown is coming).
Now here Weiss starts moving a literal second later. And now remember this is Weiss, master of mid fight distance calculation.
The minute Weiss turned and saw Blake she knew. She knew that judging from how fast Yang fell of the ledge and how fast Blake moved the only person who had a sliver of a chance of saving Yang was Blake. She knew she would be a second late if she tried. She knew that summoning a glyph in the event of Blake missing would be no use because she's done the math in that heated second of fear and anguish and knows that she will be too late.
Tumblr media
Which is why Weiss Schnee master of logic and cool headedness in the battle field and emotional wellbeing off the battlefield knew what would happen a second later. She knows Yang. Weiss was the first person we've ever seen Yang be vulnerable around. And I bet the reason Weiss was so sure Blake would find her way back to them is because Weiss and Blake are alot more similar than you think. So Weiss knows. She knows the Blake Belladona would not hesitate for a second to jump into the literal unknown for Yang.
She would too. But they're in the middle of battle and Ruby is being attacked and thousands of Atlas and Mantle citizens are in the middle of a space that shouldn't exist and she knows despite how she wants too she cannot jump. And she cannot let Blake jump either because she cannot and will not lose another member of her family today. And she immediately pulls Blake literally dragging her from the surface(and this is no easy feat because we know how crazy swol Blake is and adding that with mad grief Blake is basically the strongest most impulsive person in that space right now) and you can see from that single frame that Weiss herself is so close to tears but she has to hold it together for Blake. For Yang. For Ruby.
And once Blake takes off in a rage she knows that Cinder is left with no one to fight her. And Weiss (who is probably a little traumatised after having been stabbed and almost dying because of her) she immediately faces Cinder and Weiss is frantically dodging because remember Cinder was able to take on all four of them with barely a scratch and now Weiss is facing her alone.
Tumblr media
And I also love this because it seems like Weiss is just zig zagging her way in a frenzy but she's trying to make herself really difficult to target here. You know how they say to run zig zag when your being chased by an animal right? That's what she's doing here. She's stays in a position for just enough time for Cinder to shoot her fire and then immediately takes off in a tangent making cinder have to spend a split second trying to reorient her attack cause all her attacks shoot in a straight direction.
Tumblr media
I included this picture because she looks so fucking cool here. She literally fights fire with FIRE and I love her stance and pose and if you've actually read this far you can kinda guess I love everything about her.
Tumblr media
And now we see her skating up. Because she knows the advantage and how being in a higher position can help. She needs to get to higher ground. And I'd like to highlight that Weiss only takes this pathway cause at that moment it is completely empty. She assumed that people had already finished evacuating from there which is why she chose that place. But it turned out that particular door was one for Atlas and Atleasians were alot more hesitant to use the gates than people from Mantle which is why there are people still there(this might also have been a convenient plot narrative to make Jaune aware that Cinder was here, who knows we shall see)
Tumblr media
She uses her gravity glyph to try and hinder the airborne higher ground advantage that Cinder has. And it works. Cinder is momentarily focussed on Weiss allowing Penny to regain her stance and figure out her weapon situation.
Tumblr media
And then an Atleasian steps out and Weiss realises in a matter of milliseconds that shit she has to protect them.
Tumblr media
And if you notice Cinder is imitating Weiss's attack here. Weiss attacked Cinder with the same Ice pick move 5 minutes ago. And Weiss has to protect herself and the now emerging Atlas citizens. And I love how it's shown that she doesn't have the time to fully summon her Knight so only summons the arm and blade and protects everyone from actually getting hurt. Also I don't know if this the first time we've seen the summoning glyph for the knight in this angle but it is absolutely gorgeous and I really want to see what the Nevermore one looks like.
And I ran out pictures but Cinder literally tosses Weiss over the edge and the only thing stopping Weiss from certain fall in the void is her own gravity glyph which she is maintaining after all of the stuff I mentioned before.
I mean we know that Weiss has the lowest stamina of the team and the role that takes up the most energy. And she's still standing and she still going to fight in the next episode.
I just-- GODS Weiss Schnee is an absolute legend and possibly the best ally to have on the battlefield. She's is a super skilled ,level headed and versatile fighter whose constant presence and observations in the battlefield are such an asset and I wouldn't be far off in saying that she's probably the smartest fighter after Ruby and there's a reason they're partners because for every wacky absolute bonkers plan Ruby has, Weiss will be there to build the foundation to launch off from. And I cannot wait to see her learn and grow even more.
