#marriage contracts
Text
Prompt:
Before the Purge, before the death of the Queen, before Uther had taken the throne, when he and Balinor were both young, childless, unwed, and the best of friends, they decided that it would be good to join their families together.
Neither were interested in the other, not in that way, so together they wrote a magically binding contract that their children would marry. Both men hoped to have many children, and were certain there would be a love match somewhere among them.
But then Uther became King, and took a queen whom he loved and lost. A prince was born and the Purge begun, and the two friends became enemies.
Balinor fled to Ealdor, then further when Uther’s men still came after him, never knowing he’d left behind a son.
19 years later, Merlin arrived in Camelot, suffered a few misadventures, and became the manservant to the prince. However, after the prince came of age, and Merlin came into his inheritance the year after and was therefore also considered of age a few months early, the contract activated. The child of Uther and the child of Balinor had to be married within a year and a day, however no one (bar Gaius, Merlin, and Hunith who wasn’t even in Camelot) knew who Balinor’s child was.
The contract protected Balinor’s child until its terms had been fulfilled, but everyone knew what Uther would do the moment the ceremony was over.

Bonded
- 4th year and Harry’s name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, marking him as an adult.
- this triggers a sleeping bloodline in him and inheritance from generations back, as Harry’s magic pretty much has a panic attack, as holding a lordship for any one family takes power, and harry has been ( as yet unclaimed, thanks for not telling Dumbledore) heir to several houses (potter, black, Gryffindor, Peverell (death is watching and waiting), and now he’s lord of many of them which is a massive strain, so his magic is ready to grab anything.
- not only was one of his ancestors a dragon, but with the lordship of Gryffindor as his, comes a certain link to Hogwarts which is a bigger strain, as Dumbledore has let many of the castles wards and the rituals that would support the castle go, so his magic also searches for more and more, and hey, did you now marriage contracts and various magical bonds can help boost/support ones magic?
- needless to say, Harry doesn’t even get to meet his fellow competitors, as he gets knocked unconscious (his magic has decided that until things stabilize consciousness is not a necessary function).
- the goblins (who have been impatiently waiting for the young potter to do anything with his known vaults), are very, very done with this and send a representative to Hogwarts who is not going to be brushed off by Dumbledore...
- many families over the centuries have promised future marriages between them, such potential contracts have fallen to the wayside for various reasons and with his connection to so very many families, a lot of potential contracts have just been activated by his magic.
- harry eventually wakes up in St. Mungo’s having been removed from Hogwarts temporarily by the Goblins until “Lord Potter can be made aware of all the pertinent details of his life” and as “adulthood” has made Harry no longer under Albus Dumbledore’s auspices.
- harry also doesn't know what to do with the, no other way to put it, crowd of spouses and the menagerie of familiars. The magical strain had been so great, partly due to his age, and that he'd had a partial binding on his magic, he hadn't come even in to his full adult magic. (When the healers realized that although harry needed the stabilization of marriage that he could support the power drain now at all was terrifying).
- Hannah just sent harry a “hope you’ll be alright cake” (she still felt guilty how she and her house had treated harry in second year). Harry’s magic, looking over any marriage options like a miserly book keeper, latched onto it as a “betrothal gift” and within hours of baking the cake, Hannah found herself at St. Mungo’s seated by Harry's bedside, a signed marriage contract submitted to the ministry. It might have been abrupt, but Hannah was a pureblood and had always expected an arranged marriage (not quite this way but...) so wrapping her mind around it wasn’t hard at least. (her mother promised her a lovely wedding later) and considering the drain on her magic from just being “Presumptive Lady Potter”, she understood why the need was so great. (i had been impressed upon her that no consummation on the marriage was necessary (and really, they were 14 so not likely anyways), her and Harry's thumbs had been sliced under the watchful gaze of Harry’s Goblin guard and Hannah’s willingness and Harry’s need combined to solidify the marriage bond.
- When Daphne Greengrass is the next through the door, Hannah tries not to feel...a bit possessive over Harry (she’s 14 and he’s her husband now, whether he was conscious for it or not) but considering the pressure of the family magic that she’s feeling from just the potter’s, it’s no wonder another marriage contract has been required. Daphne curtsies formally to her, and re-introduces herself as “Daphne Black, Presumptive Lady Black” all Hannah’s training in etiquette have her nodding and offering her a seat. (she does inwardly roll her eyes that there is even (common) training for a multi-partner marriage).
- Daphne herself is...pleased with the way things are going, granted she’d been trying to aim her dad towards offering harry a betrothal contract, not full on marrying the boy to partly save his life, and because the blacks, a few centuries back had an outstanding request for a marriage between them and the Greengrass’s that had simply never been fulfilled. She walks forward, at Hannah’s nod, and pulls out the ceremonial dagger, slicing her own thumb, then Harry’s and pressing them together. Hannah has to catch her when the Black family magic hits, and Harry is only the Heir to the family!... though his color looks a bit better, and Hannah, wonderful girl that she is, performs a quick episkey on Daphne and Harry's still bleeding thumbs.
- She’s been eyeing Harry, and ignoring Malfoy and really, more Weasley’s fight with him than Harry’s (Harry just seemed to have zero patience for Malfoy, while Weasley is at least willing to apologize for things and admit he’s wrong). She’d seen Harry once, last year, help a Slytherin first year out of a trick step. No fuss, just helped. (Considering Slytherin students are both raised to near worship harry, for his potential power, and to be prepped to hate him, Daphne isn’t surprised the kid ended up with a crush. As her own families politics were more neutral, Daphne simply filed the information away...though the smile he gave the kid was...very sweet.)
- During all this Harry’s not actually been “asleep” or his body is, but him mind has been pulled into his center. He’s not quite certain what is going on, one minute he’s being told by Dumbledore he has to compete and reluctantly accepting it, the next he’s in a room with a glowing orb in the middle. He’s heard the teachers (and Hermione) talk about magical cores and he’s pretty sure that’s his. the problem is the color? stuff? something falling on it and covering it, he’s pretty sure that’s not good. He can see where the “colors” had originally started to gently swirl with his core, but there’s to much of them. He looks around, wondering if he can do anything, when a shelf sort of appears, it have various things on it, and the one he’s drawn too first is a green scaled egg. He pulls the egg off the shelf, wondering what it’s even going to do, when it hatches in his hands. The small green dragon chirrups and flies up to his core, harry realizes it’s nearly the same color as his core and as it perches on it, it seems to slow the other colors down, not enough, but some, and his core seems to take on a fate scale like sheen to it.
- Harry races back to the shelf and starts running his fingers over things searching. A cake suddenly appears, along with a golden sting and when harry selects those, the string unwinds, at first nothing happens then, (time is weird here, but he thinks time has passed) the string glows brighter, and then it’s attached to his core, and one of the colors, a russet red that reminds him of clay, moves a small amount of itself along the string, taking some of the burden. Harry hasn’t the vaguest idea what this implies, but he’s running back to the shelf, and looking at various spools, most old and dust covered, but there for the taking apparently. He doesn’t want to down in those colors.
- since we all love giving harry a snake familiar... let’s say while he’s mostly finding strings that lead to potential marriage contracts, he finds some smaller ones too. (not possibly so I can share some of my favorite animals...nope)
- one turns into a long snake tan snake with darker stripes and a head that looks like it was dipped into an ink pot when he picks it up, it says “hello” gently, before slithering off to his core and joining the dragon, which has been growing steadily larger as “time” goes on.
- around the dragon now are small lights that the larger “threads” he’s been finding feed into out from his core, the dragon seems pleased with each new addition.
- the next spool harry grabs is one of the large ones again, with the “thread” a lovely springy green color, and results in some of the black color running along it, and a second orb appearing next to the dragon, who scoots in with a wing to be next to the golden yellow orb that had some of the russet color.
- Harry’s worried though, the next color, a steel grey seems.. bigger? It gives off a certain impression and Harry is pretty sure he’d just drown one of those smaller orbs with it, so he grabs two spools, one a beautiful silvery glow, with a faint rainbow sheen and another, though it’s from a different shelf, it glows, but also... doesn’t? it switches between a nice warm brown glow to almost looking as though it’s spun from brown fur...
- Luna Lovegood’s arrival to Harry’s hospital room is... not unexpected but still a but odd, Daphne and Hannah are both fairly certain that Lovegood’s aren’t anywhere near traditional and yet Luna seems to be very calm in her appearance. (Daphne is beginning to hope harry likes blondes...) but she doesn’t go to Harry just yet, “I need a wolf first, she says dreamily, can’t be a moon without a wolf.” Which doesn’t make sense until a very, very awkward looking Professor Lupin comes in.
- Remus had always felt a pull toward Harry, when he’d met and even babysat the boy as a toddler he’d just assumed it was a natural familial feeling. A need to guard a cub. It was actually when he’d tried to visit the boy later, when he thought he could face the child, and Dumbledore stopped him, and he felt his wolf try to shred it’s way out to remove the obstacle, full moon or no, that he had second thoughts.
- Actually spending time with young Harry confirmed there was something, and amorphous something, a pull toward the boy. Thankfully it was not sexual (he’d have tenured his resignation then and there) but he finally made himself look it up (he hated researching werewolves), and nearly did give his resignation. Apparently werewolves... got “mates” as it were. the pull he felt, was the “potential” of Harry being his future mate. He’d planned to try to hang out with Harry, talk about Harry’s parents and such with the boy, but with this knowledge, he’d stuck to helping him with his Patronus and tried to keep distant.
- So when he’d heard of Harry’s collapse and that old family marriage contracts were being pulled from the various family vaults and Gringotts was sending them out as they appeared, he waited with trepidation, and a tiny bit of hope, and then he felt it, the faint pull became an all out tug and he gave in, if this thing, his being a wolf could actually help Harry (and maybe give Remus somewhere to belong) then giving in was okay...right?
- Seeing young Miss Lovegood blatantly waiting for him made him pause, and bark out a small laugh. Of course, how would this odd bond not involve a girl named for the moon?
- they both cut their thumbs and Harry's, then with Hannah’s help, pressed their bleeding fingers to Harry’s side by side.
- as soon as the pressure from the family magic of whichever one hit, Remus understood why it had needed two. If it had been he or Luna alone they’d have been comatose if not dead, and this was the “spouse” bleed over.
- Luna smiled as the magic settled, before turning to Hannah, who was the “head wife” and curtsied as though she’d been doing it her whole life “I am Lady Luna Peverell, and this, she waved to a paler than usual looking Remus, is Lord Remus Peverell.”
- Remus bemusedly thought that of course Harry was descended from the famed and mythologized Peverells...of course.
- one of the odder moments in a very, very weird experience is when he picks up one of the smaller spools, that he’s starting to think are for potential familiars is when it turns into the fluffiest bunny he has ever seen. Just a beige ball of fluff that cuddles it’s head against his hand briefly before hopping off to join the dragon, orbs, and snake atop his magical core.
- for those in the physical world, Harry’s new dragon side was hidden, only faint scales popping up near his joints belied his nifty new creature heritage. His new familiars however were not hidden, Hannah and Daphne had both been startled when the snake appeared and then a bunny of all things. (Lupin was there by then and felt his wolf sniff in interest at the bunny before logging it as “not for eating” thankfully. )
- another of the “smaller” spools caught Harry’s attention and when he picked it up, began to grow and grow until a horse with the longest mane ever appeared. It gentle snuffled at his face, and Harry found himself patting it’s neck. Then it reared it’s dark and dappled body and once again joined the others at his core.
- no one in the waking world was prepared for a horse appearing out of nowhere. Well, except possibly Luna, who offered the horse an apple from her bag.

THE CROWN PRINCESS
SUMMARY . after visiting her mother, lyrica finds herself learning about the mysterious crown princess who resides inside the sun palace.
CHARACTERS . LYRICA NARA TAKAR / BRINNE SOL
WARNINGS . YANDERE, female child reader, platonic, ooc (if i missed any, kindly alert me)
WORDCOUNT . 2.9k+ / MASTERLIST.
LETTERS . i'd like to make it known that this fanfiction was inspired by lyomeii's works ─ ( one / two ) yeah, i do plan to make this into a little platonic yandere series. and since this is a little introduction to it all, there won't be as much action in this compared to others that (hopefully) will come. 'breanna' is a character made by me on the spot. oh, God, this is so bad
LYRICA WAS having the best day of her life. Her mother had just bestowed upon her something truly precious—a silver coin, unparalleled to all the riches that could be offered. Honestly, when she lost the first silver coin she had earned back in the slums, she felt a sense of disappointment. That coin had been her pride, marked and stained with all the times she held it, dreaming of a better future. She never aspired to acquire another, as it couldn't compare to the first one she had cherished for so long. But, who cared? Even if it wasn't the same coin, it was still a silver coin—her precious silver coin.
"Ah... Huh...?" Lyrica's footsteps halted as something interesting captured her attention. The Black Dragon Chamber next door was The Crown Prince's room, and right next to it was another door—the entrance to The Crown Princess's chambers. It occurred to Lyrica that she had never laid eyes on The Crown Princess before. The Crown Princess hadn't even been present at her mother's and His Majesty's wedding!
Lyrica lifted her gaze to examine the sign above the chamber door. Said signs depicted the theme of the chambers and, by extension, identified the type of dragon associated with The Crown Princess.
However, instead of the expected dragon imagery, there was what Lyrica recognized as a constellation.
"Oh my," Brinne spoke beside Lyrica, causing the little girl to startle, as the voice was unexpected. "It seems that Your Highness has stumbled across something very interesting. Would you like me to explain, Your Highness?"
"Huh...?" Lyrica blinked at her servant before finally catching on. "O... Oh, yes, please!"
Brinne laughed in response to Lyrica's enthusiasm. "Recall when I mentioned that His Majesty and House Takar trace their lineage to dragons? I also explained that House Wolfe descends from wolves, and House Sandar's ancestry is tied to a colossal snake as thick as a tree."
Brinne’s eyelids fluttered open, and Lyrica could see for herself the fondness swirling in her amethyst-hued eyes. Lyrica's curiosity deepened even more as a result of this reaction. Minor details about The Crown Princess's existence are known, yet she already fascinates Lyrica. In the 'White Dragon Chamber,' Lyrica remembers the information Brinne shared with her. The Founder of the prosperous Takar Nation was a dragon, leading to the Imperial Family (comprising Takars) being named after these mythical creatures.
So, why is it that you, The Crown Princess, aren't named after a dragon? Your hand was given to The Crown Prince, which rightfully places you within the Imperial Family. However, you carry the identity of something different—a star, or more precisely, a constellation of stars known as Pollux.
Lyrica resisted the urge to ask, concerned about overwhelming Brinne with questions she might not have answers to. However, the more she thought, the more she wanted answers. Despite the unsettling tales she had heard about The Emperor, her stepfather had proven to be benevolent. It wasn't as if The Emperor despised you otherwise, he wouldn't have permitted you to reside in The Sun Palace and ''''marry'''' The Crown Prince. So, why...?
Lyrica bit her lip and groaned, ultimately yielding to her curiosity. "The Family Crest of High-Ranking Nobles symbolizes their ancestry. However, considering House (L.N) bears the crest of a star, does that suggest that The Crown Princess is descended from a star?" Brinne tilted her head and beamed, satisfied with Lyrica's analysis. "Exactly!"
Although Brinne appeared content, Lyrica felt the opposite, her eyebrows furrowing in dissatisfaction. "But... I thought all Takars were named after dragons. What about The Crown Princess?" It's only at that moment that Brinne understands the confusion of The Young Princess. Brinne's smile widened further, momentarily causing Lyrica to worry about the strain on her jaw muscles.
"It's as you mentioned, Your Highness. All Takars, even those married into The Imperial Family, bear dragon names. But, The Crown Princess is only engaged to His Highness.” Brinne replied, a sly smirk gracing her stunning features. Lyrica's expression faltered as she processed her servant's words. “Your Highness, let me make it known that His Majesty deeply admires House (L.N), especially The Crown Princess."
As the realization dawned on her, Lyrica almost jumped in surprise. Tolerance and respect were one thing, but admiration? Another question was… why did Brinne tell her all of this when she had first moved into her chambers? Did she forget…?
Brinne giggled at Lyrica’s reaction. "With admiration comes a deep bond. As we know, His Majesty cannot rule forever, nor will it be advised for his nephew to rule alone. And so, because His Majesty trusts no one as he trusts House (L.N), he decided that one of them shall ascend to the throne alongside his nephew. Despite the many good suitors House (L.N) had to offer, The Crown Princess was chosen as she not only captured him with her abilities but her personality as well."
“Of course, to be a Crown Princess, you need to marry The Crown Prince first. However, His Majesty’s instructions to address Her Highness as such regardless is a way of showcasing her permanent ascension.”
Lyrica's eyebrows rose at the revelation. Well, now it makes sense why you weren’t identified as a dragon. Forget what she said about the marriage thing too. "But wait! Even if The Crown Princess didn’t receive that privilege, would she still be considered important, perhaps more so than High-Ranking Nobles?"
Brinne hummed in thought. “She would still be considered as a High-Ranking Noble even if she and those in House (L.N) hold more privileges than the others in the same noble class. …It’s all because of His Majesty’s orders. Everything is. You are aware of how absolute His Majesty’s orders are, right? If His Majesty commands people to act like animals, they will do just that. If His Majesty says to idolize an object, they will do just that! Even more so if His Majesty orders his people to respect House (L.N) just as they respect House Takar, they will do just that. It doesn’t matter if people are pleased with the arrangements or not. ...His Majesty’s reason for doing so all aligns with the shared history of House Takar and House (L.N).”
Lyrica became intrigued by that bit of information. "Shared history?" She leaned in, eager to learn more. "Can you tell me more, Brinne?" Unfortunately, Brinne responded with an apologetic smile, disappointing Lyrica.
"Regrettably, that's the extent of my knowledge regarding the relationship between House (L.N) and House Takar. It's a limit for anyone," Brinne's lips tightened. "The narrative unfolds after the nation's expansion and the allegiance of House Sandar and House Wolfe, undoubtedly including the deeds of House (L.N) that earned His Majesty's favor."
"However, crucial details of this significant historical period somehow vanished. Consequently, over time, people began crafting theories about how House (L.N) and House Takar evolved into their current relationship. Some theories were logical, while others were entirely nonsensical. And, of course, some seized the opportunity for profit, as seen in the widely popular children's fairytale, 'The Dragon Who Fell In Love With A Star.' You must have heard of it, haven't you?"
Lyrica recalled hearing a similar story in the slums, never imagining its connection to something so crucial. "That's incredible!" she exclaimed.
"Despite these theories, none have been confirmed. House (L.N) and House Takar are the only ones capable of such confirmation. However, His Majesty has maintained silence on the matter, and House (L.N) feels compelled to align with his decision."
"Yet, certain aspects remain clear. Regardless of factual evidence, His Majesty holds House (L.N) in high regard. Thus, we are to treat them with respect, just as we will respect House Takar. Whether others agree or disagree is unimportant."
“Either way, the latter is not a concern,” Brinne continued. “Everyone in this nation is fond of House (L.N), or in this case, The Crown Princess.”
Lyrica cocked her head to the side. “Even you?”
"Yes, Your Highness! Why wouldn't I?" Brinne laughed. "Allow me to explain how House (L.N) operates. As we are aware, High-Ranking Nobles align themselves with the symbols on their crests. Given that House (L.N) traces its lineage to a star... it's worth noting that House (L.N) is the largest Noble Family in the nation. This serves as a symbolic representation of the countless stars that adorn the sky."
"B-Billions!?" Lyrica stammered, staring at Brinne with widened eyes.
"Oh, dear." Brinne covered her mouth. "Your Highness, House (L.N) doesn't quite literally have billions. However, like certain traits are inherent to specific Noble Families, having large kin is one characteristic of House (L.N). So, fear not, Your Highness; having a small family circle is normal. House (L.N) just happens to multiply at a very alarming rate... to the extent that they are scattered throughout all corners of the nation."
"Due to their extensive family, House (L.N) has implemented a system within their household to maintain order. Drawing inspiration from astrology, where eighty-eight constellations are recognized, House (L.N) has structured itself into eighty-eight classes, each with varying levels of power and status. However, within these eighty-eight classes, there exist twelve classes that house the highest positions. I find myself intrigued by the method they use to organize it all..."
"But, moving on!" Brinne placed her hands on her knees. "Your Highness, are you familiar with the twelve constellations of the universe?"
"Yes! Glendelyn taught me about them! It's uh... Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces... right!?" Lyrica grinned, pleased with herself for recalling both the names and pronunciation.
"And those would be the twelve classes of House (L.N) with the highest status and power! The Crown Princess oversees Class Gemini of House (L.N), in part. As we know, Gemini is a twin star encompassing both Pollux and Castor. Therefore, Gemini is responsible for two individuals, with The Crown Princess having authority over Pollux."
Brinne's eyes crinkled with amusement. "It makes me wonder... if House (L.N)'s class sorting is also influenced by personality traits..."
"What makes you think that...?" Lyrica inquired, tilting her head to the side.
"Pollux means 'very sweet' or 'fit for royalty.' And when compared to both Castor and Pollux, Pollux is the brighter star of the two." Brinne giggled. "'Fit for royalty'... truly describes The Crown Princess! The Crown Princess can also be characterized as... bright and pure. Undoubtedly, she possesses the most beautiful soul in the entire nation."
In Lyrica's thoughts, she argues that her mother is the most beautiful soul of all!
"Generous, selfless, and loving. The Crown Princess consistently treats everyone impartially and respectfully, ignoring class or personality. When she had more freedom before getting engaged, The Crown Princess frequently visited the lower class, playing with the little children there. She gave them gifts, food, and clothes, disregarding the opinions of those in the Noble Status," Brinne explained.
"Now, with increased power, The Crown Princess has expressed her intent to enhance the quality of life for the lower class. His Majesty has already given his approval, leaving the timing of the project's initiation to The Crown Princess." Brinne hummed. "In summary, The Crown Princess is admired not just for her history and status. It's her demeanor and how she treats others, whether good or evil, that truly highlights her charm."
By now, Lyrica's eyes were gleaming. "She does sound amazing..." As someone who had previously lived in the slums, hearing about how The Crown Princess cared so tenderly for her fellow people deeply touched Lyrica. Typically, individuals of higher status tended to be snobbish and avoided those from lower classes, using harsh and insulting labels. Lyrica was all too familiar with that. However, there were exceptions—The Crown Princess, who cared for them despite their backgrounds, striving to improve their lives! Lyrica's thoughts began to wander, imagining what her life might have been like if she had encountered The Crown Princess in the past.
The only issue in her thoughts was, "Brinne, how exactly does The Crown Princess look?"
"Hmm... Let me think about how I can describe this. Your Highness, when you gaze at the stars at night, what's the first thing that comes to your mind?" Brinne inquired.
"Well, I always think about how beautiful the stars look tonight," Lyrica responded promptly.
“It’s the same for House (L.N). They possess a certain essence that makes them shine, glitter, and sparkle. The Crown Princess is no exception. She has gorgeous (h.c) hair that sparkles under the sunlight, and (s.c) skin that glows with the moonlight. However, what truly sets The Crown Princess apart within her House is her eyes. Those eyes of hers... are the physical embodiment of her lineage. With (e.c) eyes that sparkle like fine jewels, she carries the entire universe in them."
Lyrica's jaw dropped in amazement. "Is that another form of symbolism...?"
Brinne shook her head. "This time, it's quite literal." Seeing Lyrica's face scrunch up in suspicion, Brinne resisted the urge to giggle. "Oh my, Your Highness. I assure you, I'm not making fun of you for thinking House (L.N) consisted of billions of members. I don't blame you for being skeptical. Eyes resembling the universe? It does sound far-fetched, especially when no one else is known for having such a trait. But, it is the truth."
Lyrica pouted, fiddling with her clothes. "All of this talk just makes me want to meet The Crown Princess!"
"Huhu~ I'm certain The Crown Princess would have loved to meet you too, Your Highness. Unfortunately, current circumstances just won't allow her to do so. With The Crown Prince currently absent, The Crown Princess has temporarily taken over his responsibilities, attending to any work that needs to be accomplished in his stead."
"I can recall a day when The Crown Princess looked like a disaster, seconds away from collapsing onto the ground," Brinne shivered. "As much work as it may be, it's what needs to be done. Again, The Crown Prince and The Crown Princess are destined to ascend to the throne one day, signifying the future management of the nation. Thus, they must demonstrate their capabilities to the people, and most importantly, His Majesty."
“Oh!” Lyrica blinked.
“Hmm… Now, I’m not sure, but, come to think of it, you should be able to see The Crown Princess soon, Your Highness.” Brinne added.
“Oh!?” Lyrica exclaimed in a louder tone.
“His Highness should be returning from his feudal territory very soon. And once he does, Her Highness should be able to take a breather from her piles of work.”
Lyrica fell silent, staring at Brinne with a soft expression. Lyrica then smiled fondly, clasping her hands together. “I know The Crown Princess isn’t fully inside the family as yet… Even so, she would be my cousin. But, still… The Crown Princess… would be some form of big sister, right…?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“YOUR HIGHNESS! I come to you with great news! His Highness should be returning soon!” Gracefully entering the 'Constellation Pollux Chamber,' a maid carrying a golden tray of food and treats hastened toward you, seated upright in your bed, gazing at the scenery beyond your window.
Turning your attention forward, you stared at your maid with widened eyes. "Is that so?" Your surprise quickly morphed into happiness, a smile spreading across your lips as you interlaced your fingers. A flowery aura surrounded you, and your excitement was visible. "That is good news! How long has it been since Atil was gone...? Six months?"
"Precisely," your maid, Breanna, hummed, gently placing the tray on your bed tray table, which you wasted no time digging into. "I can tell that you have many ideas running through your head, Your Highness. I, too, would want to greet someone I cherish with a warm welcome after not seeing them for so long."
"For Atil...? Erm... No, that's not why I'm so excited... I'm excited because I won't have to work as hard as I did anymore!" You beamed without shame. "Ugh, it was torturous... Left, right, and center, it was just piles of paper. Any more, and I would have begun to see the pearly white gates of heaven..."
"Oh, my, is that all? His Highness would be upset if he heard that's the only reason you missed his presence," Breanna giggled.
"...Seriously...?"
"And then there are your new family members, Your Highness."
You paused, fingers clasped around the handle of your spoon. Slowly, you lifted your head to meet your maid's gaze, (e.c) eyes locking with amethyst eyes. "Yes, I have heard about the news. How His Majesty has taken a commoner as his bride, and her child as his daughter."
Your smile widened, lips encased around the tip of the spoon. As if nature were in sync with you, the sunlight cast an ethereal glow on your frame, making you appear more enchanting. Even your maid, who wore a sly smirk seconds prior, jaw slackened, staring at you in awe.
"It's a shame I am unable to do anything at the moment. I can't express just how eager I am to meet them. But one thing's for sure... I already see them as family."
In your eyes was the universe. Stars served as pupils, they glowed with endless glee and anticipation.

2023 Kdramas I am excited for
We have only a bit over two months in the year left, but it looks like kdramas saved the best for last. Here is the list of kdramas I am excited for...
Boyhood/Once Upon a Boyhood (November 24) - Siwan hasn't done a bad drama and I am in the mood for a nostalgic 80s piece. I am a little amused that a 35 year old is gonna be playing a high schooler, but in a fond way.
Castaway Diva (October 28) - I am very fond of Park Eun Bin and if anyone can sell the whimsy of a tale about a woman who was a castaway and then becomes a pop star, she will. Not fond of the new trend for 12 eps but it is what it is.
Goryeo-Khitan War (November 11) - my most anticipated for the rest of the year. Every casting and crew choice, every promo makes it look like an old school politics and war heavy sageuk that does not cater in the least to youth or even fusion sageuk subgenres and I am here for it so so so MUCH!
Gyeongseong Creature (December) - not a big fan of netflix originals but I am there for the cast and the setting.
The Matchmakers (October 30) - looks like a wacky period romp with Rowoon and Cho Yi Hyun. I don't have high hopes for it because I like my period stuff angsty, but whatever else, it's gonna be pretty pretty pretty!
Moon In the Day (November 1) - except for GK War, my most anticipated for the rest of the year. Reincarnation/time travel story that flashes back between modern day and Silla - GOD YES!
My Demon (November 24) - sounds like shoujo crack about a demon who loses his powers and enters into a contract marriage (of course) with a human. Done many many times before but I am always a sucker for the trope.
Perfect Marriage Revenge (October 28) - first of all, I have a huge weak spot for Sung Hoon. He's a limited actor but between New Tales of the Gisaeng and his role in Faith, he won my heart forever. But also, this plot is so old school melo the way they don't make it nowadays. Our FL is betrayed by her sister and her husband and dies. But she wakes up before her marriage and decides to do things differently and get revenge. She gets married in a contract marriage to our ML, a chaebol (of course) played by sexy Sung Hoon and...doesn't it all sound like those delicious transmigration novels made flesh?
The Story of Park's Marriage Contract (November 24) - I love time travel/time slip stories and the fact that this is a woman who ends up in the modern day where she comes across the dead ringer of her deceased husband makes it high class Durian, plus Lee Se Young is a wonderful actress who rarely picks wrong.
Tell Me That You Love Me (November) - a remake of my favorite jdrama of all time, Aishteiru to Ittekure, this story about the relationship between a deaf painter and an aspiring younger actress is going to give me the adult love story I crave. The fact that the legend that is Jung Woo Sung is back in dramas, and is playing the ML, is just the perfect thing. (His last proper drama was Padam Padam in 2011!!! He is mainly a movie star.)
Vigilante (November 8) - I am just here to see Nam Joo Hyuk kick people in the face.
Welcome to Samdalri (December 2) - Shin Hye Sun and Ji Chang Wook in a romcom mmmmm. I don't have any pics so have:

the lovely eyes
-> warnings: yandere themes, platonic relationships, obsession, slightly isolation.
-> request by anon! Hey darling since request are open can you do another "my mom got a contract marriage"?with reader that have stary eyes like ai from oshinoko?
-> a/n: I never watched the anime, so I made some research to learn more about the eye thing and it was quite confusing since it’s doesn’t have a canon reason, but from the many places I read, many people believe those who have starry eyes are gifted in a way or another. and even though they aren’t visible in the anime, I decided to make it in this headcanon.
-> the starry eyes you have is a gift from heavens, they all keep saying it. a way to show how special you are compared many, your parents told you so. for you, it’s simply lucky that you were born with and the fact the royal family took you in.
-> the emperor, alteris, claims to want to know more your unique condition, he says. the crown prince told you that someone like you should be a noble, not a commoner and the little princess asked you if you truly an angel. those three are the face you see the most in your life now that you’ve moved in to the palace. luckily the new empress knows to give you space unlike those three.
-> now, that you became a noble and live with them, everything is quite different and new. learning how to write and read is a difficult task in the beginning, almost making you want to fail or just give up by entirely, but seeing how they all support you is enough fuel to make you keep going.
-> atil is the one who keeps admiring you more than he admits, surprisingly it’s not lyrica. the crown prince is the one who follows you around (in order to protect you!) and always make sure that nothing bad happens to you.
-> then lyrica, who was scared to approach you at first, gifted you a flower to put behind your ear. the way she smiles seeing how gorgeous you are make the little girl admire you even more. even asking you if you could carry her in your back which you happily accept it, making it a cute view for the residents of the palace.
-> and when you aren’t around them, you are often reading the many confessions that are send for you daily. many suitors from noble houses, even foreigners noblemen and women who are willing to fight for your hand in marriage. thankfully, you know better than accept their love. maybe it’s because you know the consequences of having a lover, the royal family wouldn’t waste a day to end them.
@lyomeii stuff || don’t repost

After some time of dating, when Husk and Angel decide to get married (by Lucifer, as the closest thing to "holy" authority in Hell), the moment they exchange rings they can each feel the chains of their deals pulling and then breaking, freeing them from their contracts since, once married, their souls belong to each other.
(add on: inspired by this)
#hazbin hotel#huskerdust#hazbin hotel angel dust#hazbin hotel husk#angelhusk#if we consider a timeline where they still haven't been freed of their contracts#btw who married lucifer and lilith? or did he do it himself. can he do that? lmao#marriage is still a christian sacrament so i imagine even in hell it hold more weight than a demonic contract#and i mean sinners can get married right? like is travis' wife from his time alive or did he marry down there#or does earth marriage end with death. 'till death do us part' and all#*Alastor frantically looking or someone to qpr marry him*#edit to add the piece of art that gave me the idea#go look at it <3
