A bit different from my usual content, this fic features @saycheesekid 's beautiful OC Minerva who is Ace's wife from before the fog. It's my first time writing someone else's OC and I hope I did her justice, because I adore her dynamic with Ace! (Also Felix POV because apparently I'm incapable of not including him in fics)
Ships 💞: Ace x OC, Felix x his girlfriend Warnings⚠️: Miscarriage mention Word count: 2.8k
[Ace X OC] Apple of my eye
Family.
Something that Felix had always considered the most important thing in the world. From trying to make his father proud to pulling himself together and preparing to give his unborn child everything under the sun, the concept of family had shaped most of Felix's life.
And maybe that was why it was so easy for him to see how closely the dynamic of his fellow survivors resembled one.
Opposite the log to Felix's, Minerva was braiding Meg's hair into an elaborate French braid. The woman let Meg rant loudly about her latest trial, always willing to lend an ear and patiently bear the redhead's frustrations.
Nancy walked up to the duo and spoke in a low voice Felix couldn't make out the words of, prompting Minerva to pause her braiding project long enough to hand the girl what looked to be a gauze roll. Nancy departed with a smile – a rare sight that Felix had only caught a handful of times – and Minerva focused back on the angry redhead at her feet.
A loud laugh carried out across the campsite, making Felix turn his attention to where Ace looked to be showing a magic trick to a small group.
The gambler was running a poker chip over his knuckles and between his fingers, the movement of the item difficult to follow until it finally seemed to disappear into thin air.
"Where did it go?" Ace asked his audience, a grin on his face as he held up his empty hands. "Everyone check their pockets, just in case!"
The others did as instructed. When a confused Feng fished out the very same poker chip from the front pocket of her jeans, Dwight gasped and Nea laughed and Feng, furious, started pestering a smirking Ace to “Tell me how you did it, it's not fucking magic!”
Felix, however, merely deflated and looked back at the half-empty, forgotten med-kit in his lap.
On one hand, it was incredible how even amidst the death and violence of the Entity's world, the survivors had managed to form a family of their own. He saw how they each had their own roles, from Nea's youthful brashness to Bill's grumpy caring, and the camaraderie they had all formed during the last few years was something Felix was honored to be part of.
But at the same time, Felix was supposed to become a father. Yet he was always stuck at the sidelines, helpless to do anything but watch as others more suited for the task comforted those who were struggling from homesickness or a bad trial. Felix could barely instruct Quentin about toolbox efficiency without tripping over his words, much less be a parental figure for any of the poor kids trapped in this hellscape with him.
It was clear that he needed outside advice.
═════════════ ♢ ═════════════
Felix resumed stocking his med-kit while he waited. Fortunately, it wasn't long before Ace returned to Minerva's side.
The woman was just finishing up Meg's new braid and sent the redhead on her way with a smile, Meg excitedly bounding over to where Feng was still busy glaring at the remnants of Ace's magic trick.
"Ciao, bella," Ace leered. Felix watched him lean to place a peck on his wife's cheek. "Is your hair salon finally closed for the day?"
"I might just have time to make you pigtails," Minerva replied with a smirk. "Did you have fun messing with the children again?"
"What do you mean, mess with them? I'll have you know that was pure magic!"
Minerva rolled her eyes at her husband's antics, though she was still smiling fondly.
The couple lapsed into comfortable silence – the kind Felix assumed came from years of being married – and he figured that this might be his only chance.
"They really like you," Felix said.
Minerva and Ace both looked up to meet his eyes and Felix cleared his throat under their attention.
"The teens," Felix clarified. "It's good that they have people like you – both of you. In here."
Realizing how awkward he sounded, Felix resolutely turned his attention back to the med-kit. This whole advice thing was turning out to be a spectacularly bad idea.
"Thank you, Felix," Minerva said. At the warmth in her voice, Felix hesitantly looked back up. "I'm glad you think so."
"Absolutely!" Ace agreed. "I don't know how much I'm actually contributing aside from the occasional dad joke, but it's good for the kids to have a campfire mom, huh?"
"Oh, don't sell yourself short," Minerva said. "The dad jokes are at least a daily occurrence."
Ace chortled and even Felix smiled at the couple's easy back and forth.
"You are both really good with the younger survivors," Felix said. "Do you have children of your own?"
"Oh, no!" Ace laughed. He reached out to grab his wife's hand. "Our life was plenty chaotic without a kid thrown into the mix; can't really bring a baby to a casino or have the kid change schools every two months when we moved across the world!"
"We would have had to drastically change our lifestyle," Minerva said. "And then those years had already passed."
Minerva looked down at their joined hands with a contemplative expression. There was an unexplainable tension in the air and Felix was eager to move on from the subject.
"I see," Felix simply said. "I just thought from how natural you act with them, you seemed like you had experience in parenting."
"Well, we've been around kids a lot!" Ace said.
Minerva perked up. "I've got many nieces and nephews," she said, "And Ace has younger siblings. You often took care of them in your childhood, correct?"
"Unfortunately," Ace scrunched up his nose. "Gotta say, changing diapers is one thing I don't miss. Especially when your baby brother happens to have really good aim."
Minerva giggled and Felix politely chuckled, even though he didn't really understand the joke. What would a baby need target practice for?
"What about you?" Minerva asked, addressing Felix. "Do you have experience with children?"
"No," Felix said. "And that’s the problem. I –"
He hesitated. Though he would consider Ace and Minerva his friends, they weren’t exactly close, as Felix had been careful to keep most of his personal life private. Everyone except Élodie and a few others only knew that his girlfriend was pregnant at the time of his disappearance. Hopefully, the couple wouldn’t judge him for this.
"I fear I won't make a very good father,” Felix confessed.
Minerva's expression softened. "I'm sure that won't be the case."
"Yeah, just don't worry about it!" Ace exclaimed.
Felix stared blankly at the man's cheerful smile. If he could simply will his anxiety away, he would have done so about thirty years ago – not be stuck with it screaming at him about what a terrible parent he would make.
"Kids are easy!" Ace continued in a way of explanation. "Just talk to them and make them laugh if you can. And let them be kids and run around and climb in trees without worrying about if they'll get hurt! Kids are much tougher than they look."
“I agree with most of that,” Minerva said. “But I still wouldn't recommend things like playing catchwith them.”
"What?" Felix frowned, his idyllic fantasy of throwing a ball with his future son shattered. "I thought that was a child-safe activity. I guess the ball could injure the child, but I don't throw very hard –"
"Oh, no, baseball is absolutely fine," Minerva said, then turned to give Ace an unimpressed look. "But Ace plays catch by throwing a three-year-old six feet into the air and hoping he'll catch them –"
"And I have a one hundred percent success rate!" Ace protested. "Better than any baseball player. Totally safe activity! And your nephew loves it, he's always waddling up to me and reaching up his arms –"
While Ace kept rambling and horrifying Felix more and more by the second, Minerva looked back at Felix, shook her head and mouthed "no" and Felix instantly relaxed.
It was good that he wasn't expected to be physically throwing his child anywhere.
═════════════ ♢ ═════════════
Minerva and Ace kept recounting anecdotes of their own while trying to reassure Felix's new-parent-stress. They were being incredibly accommodating and didn't seem to be judging Felix for his lack of experience.
And maybe that was why Felix felt comfortable enough to ask a question that he hadn’t dared voice to anyone before.
"What if it's…" Felix hesitated. "What if the baby is a girl?"
Ace's head tilted comically in confusion – like that was the dumbest question Felix could have possibly asked.
"I didn't have any siblings," Felix hurried to explain. "I have no knowledge of what interests young girls have and what type of care they need."
Minerva smiled – still much too patient. "Well, first of all, girls aren't an alien species."
"That's exactly what an alien would say," Ace interjected.
At another look from his wife, Ace raised his hands up in surrender and quieted down.
"There’s just as much of a chance that she would end up liking soccer and a boy would want to ride horses," Minerva continued. "No matter what the child's interest or gender, they need their father's love and attention to thrive."
Felix hummed in understanding, then looked at Ace for his viewpoint.
"I mean," Ace grinned. "I'd only add that maybe don't buy a pony when the kid inevitably begs for one, but you can obviously afford it, so…"
"As long as you don't spoil them," Minerva said. "I know you have the means, but boundaries are important for a child."
Felix nodded, though that didn't really tell him anything. How was he supposed to know what purchases would further his child's well-being and what would be excessive?
Ace elbowed Minerva with a good-natured grin. "I think we lost him.”
"Sorry," Felix hurried to apologize. "I appreciate your advice. I just don't know if I'm going to be able to make the right decisions as a parent."
"Felix… I think you're forgetting that you aren't alone in this," Minerva said. "The child has two parents. You won't need to make decisions on your own; both you and the mother will come to know your child best and can decide. Together." 
"Yeah," Ace agreed, looking at Minerva with a smile. "Having someone to share the highs and lows with really makes all the difference."
Minerva returned the smile and brought up a petite hand to cup her husband's cheek. "And you wouldn't change it for the world," she murmured. "Even if they sometimes drive you insane."
Ace chuckled and leaned in to kiss her and Felix politely averted his eyes.
He hoped that one day he and his girlfriend could be as comfortable and open with each other as those two. Maybe Felix should have been more honest with her, about the work stress and his grief and fears about becoming a parent. He had seen the look of worry in her beautiful eyes every time he stumbled home late from a bar, but had brushed off her attempts at reaching out and only managed to pull himself together once she shared the news of the baby.
God, he wanted nothing more than the chance to make things right. He missed her like crazy; it had been two years in the Entity's realm and he had no way of knowing how time passed outside of here. He only hoped that she hadn’t been forced to have the child alone, an unwilling single parent struggling with the same doubts that Felix was now, in addition to thinking that Felix had abandoned them –
"Felix, I don't think you ever mentioned kt," Minerva started, pulling Felix out of his spiralling thoughts. "Can I ask how far along your girlfriend is in her pregnancy?"
"Oh," Felix said. "Four months, when I disappeared. Though I’m not sure how time progresses here; the child will probably have already been born when I return."
Minerva nodded, though there was something… odd about the faraway look in her eyes.
"Is something wrong?" Felix asked.
"No, I – ah," Minerva faltered.
"Honey…" Ace said, clear worry on his face.
Minerva, however, seemed to have made up her mind, and continued. "Please don't take it for granted," she said, her voice strained. "There’s a possibility that when you return, the child… won't be there waiting for you."
And then Minerva, normally so elegant and put-together, curled in on herself and wrapped an arm around her midsection. Shame washed over Felix; the woman’s grief was obvious, and he felt absolutely horrible for having brought up unpleasant memories.
Instantly, Ace was there. He pulled Minerva close and kissed her temple, at the roots of her hair where blonde became black.
"But even if the worst happens, you'll get through it," Ace told Felix as much as Minerva. "I know you're excited for the kid, and it'll feel like the end of the world if something happens to them," Ace's smile wavered ever so briefly. "But you'll pull through. As long as you're there for each other and give yourselves time to grieve, you'll be alright."
Minerva reached for Ace's hand again. Ace’s hand enveloped her smaller one and he rested his head on top of hers.
Felix looked down at his feet both to give them space and contemplate their words. He hadn't even considered the possibility that his child might not make it into this world; he had been much too stressed about what types of diapers to buy and which kindergartens were the best in his area.
Perhaps he needed to get his priorities in order.
"Wow, look at us," Minerva suddenly huffed. "We're scaring him with every worst-case scenario."
"Oh, ehm –" Felix stammered. "Don't worry about me."
"Aw, jeez," Ace chuckled. "We're gonna get some angry calls from your girlfriend about 'Felix keeps talking to the baby bump 24/7 and refuses to even let me go to the bathroom alone', aren't we?"
Felix felt his neck flush from embarrassment. He might be a little bit of a worrier and had a tendency to overthink things, but surely, he wouldn't be that bad –
"Felix," Minerva said, gaining his attention. She was smiling again. "I didn't mean to worry you. It's merely that… there's a lot of things nobody tells first-time parents."
Now, Felix definitely got the picture that she was speaking from experience.
"Thank you," Felix said. "I appreciate all your advice. Truly."
"Thank you for listening to us ramble," Ace grinned. "We can be a lot, I know."
"No, you were both a great help," Felix said.
"That's kind of you to say," Minerva smiled. "And I have no doubt that you'll be a great father."
Felix cleared his throat and fidgeted in his seat. "I'll try my best."
"You'll be just fine. The way you worry just shows how much you care –"
"What the fuck were you thinking!?" a distinctly Laurie-like voice screeched across the campsite, effectively interrupting their conversation.
The rare occurrence of the girl swearing had the trio turning to look over to where a small commotion had formed. Apparently, the group to arrive from the latest trial had some things they needed to air out.
"It was supposed to be a guaranteed escape!" Steve protested Laurie's verbal assault. "I had the perks and the salt offering and everything! Ace told me it would work –"
"That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" Yun-jin interjected from beside Laurie. "You nearly got me killed!"
"It's not dumb!"
"Argh! Minervaaa!!" Laurie yelled.
Minerva offered a small sigh. "Coming!" she hollered to the others.
"Well, looks like I'm needed elsewhere," Minerva said, rising to her feet. She brushed off her jeans and straightened her shirt – always taking care of her appearance even in this world of nothing but blood and dirt and violence.
Ace grinned and made no move to follow her. "Have fun!"
"Oh no, you're coming with me," Minerva said. Ace opened his mouth, but she was quicker. "You started this whole mess, and you'll clean it up."
"Your evidence won't hold up in court," Ace joked, yet obediently got up to join his wife. "Fine, I'll go see what the little rascal has been up to."
Ace made for where Laurie was still glaring at Steve.
"So! I heard someone is in dire need of a lawyer to get them out of these preposterous charges –" Ace began.
And that was apparently the cue for Laurie, Steve and Yun-jin to all start talking over each other.
Felix saw Minerva roll her eyes before she looked back at him.
"Another parenting lesson for you," Minerva said, the corner of her mouth quirking up. "When dealing with children, you can say goodbye to your free time."
Felix chuckled as she made her way over to the group to start sorting out not only the others' disagreement, but also her husband egging on the argument.
So maybe Felix wouldn't be the perfect parent. But from what was apparent right before his eyes when Laurie looked at Minerva speaking in clear adoration and Steve grinned at Ace defending him, Felix’s child would probably still love him.

I LUOGHI DELL'ANIMA
Tumblr media
Era inevitabile: Assisi è il luogo della pace per eccellenza in Italia.
Incastonato tra le dolci colline umbre, la storia e le tradizioni del paese in provincia di Perugia, è meta da tempo immemore di pellegrinaggi in ricordo di San Francesco.
Ma esploriamo l'ameno centro attraverso il portale
https://www.visit-assisi.it
Tumblr media
Assisi è una città di origine Romana (con il nome di Asisium), ne sono testimonianza numerosi monumenti come la facciata del Tempio di Minerva, l’Anfiteatro, le Mura,  il Foro.
Con la caduta dell’Impero Romano la città  divenne un insediamento prima dei Goti (545) e poi cadde sotto il dominio dei Longobardi.
Con il medioevo divenne comune indipendente e conobbe uno sviluppo straordinario sopratutto grazie ai movimenti monastici (in special modo i Benedettini).
Il più illustre dei suoi cittadini San Francesco nacque nel 1182. Francesco
Tumblr media
viene proclamato santo nel 1228, due soli anni dopo la sua morte, da Papa Gregorio IX.
Più tardi la Città fu sotto la mano delle signorie come quella di Gian Galeazzo Visconti, della famiglia dei Montefeltro, di Braccio Fortebraccio e di Francesco Sforza, fino alla meta’ del sedicesimo secolo, quando l’Umbria fu conquistata da Papa Paolo III ristabilendo il controllo papale sulla città.
Più tardi, nel diciannovesimo secolo, la città divenne parte del nascente stato italiano.
Tumblr media
Assisi, a partire dal III secolo a.C. intrattenne le prime relazioni diplomatiche con Roma.
Venne stipulato un trattato che la impegnava a collaborare, fornendo contingenti militari. Nel 90 a.C. divenne municipio romano. Parte del territorio, dopo il 41 a.C. venne confiscato e assegnato alla vicina Spello.
Negli stessi anni Assisi diede i natali a Properzio, uno dei massimi poeti elegiaci del tempo.
Tumblr media
La collezione archeologica pertinente al municipio si trova nel Museo del Foro Romano, in parte ospitato nella cripta di San Nicolò, ma che si estende sulla superficie sotto la piazza, fino a giungere in una sala in cui è visibile il lastricato della zona meridionale dell’antico foro.
Assisi visse in prosperità sino alla caduta dell’impero romano. Ne sono testimonianza, oltre al Foro romano, il Tempio di Minerva, l’Anfiteatro (posto nella parte alta della Città) e le Domus ritrovate (Domus romana di Palazzo Giampè e Casa romana detta di Properzio).
Tumblr media
Assisi conobbe il suo maggiore periodo di splendore tra il XII ed il XIII secolo quando fu libero comune.
Agli albori dell’anno mille, sostenne  lotte molto dure con la vicina Perugia, comune guelfo, con la quale infine pattuì una lunga pace. Risale a questo periodo (1182) la nascita di San Francesco che tanto influirà sulla vita della stessa città, non soltanto dal punto di vista strettamente religioso, ma anche e soprattutto dal punto di vista culturale e artistico. Alla figura di San Francesco è legato lo sviluppo artistico della città. Nel XIII secolo sorsero le basiliche dedicate a lui e a Santa Chiara, la cui costruzione e decorazione richiamò i principali artisti italiani del ’200 e ’300.
Si innalzano i Palazzi del Capitano del Popolo 
Tumblr media
e del Monte Frumentario ed anche alcune porte. Nella pittura operano, oltre a Cimabue e Giotto, il Maestro di San Francesco e quello di Santa Chiara, Pisano e Lorenzetti.
Il regime feudale mal si conciliava con le pulsioni delle classi emergenti che nel 1198, dopo aver dato vita al libero Comune, rasero al suolo la Rocca Maggiore, sede dell’oppressore duca Corrado di Lutzen, potente fiduciario di Federico Barbarossa. In questo clima, fatto di stridenti contraddizioni, nasce Francesco di Bernardone. Il 16 luglio 1228 Gregorio IX giunge ad Assisi per proclamare santo Francesco; il giorno dopo benedice la prima pietra e si avviano i lavori della Basilica e del Sacro Convento: monumenti insigni che segneranno per sempre lo sviluppo edilizio e storico della città di Assisi.
A partire dal XIV secolo la prosperità di Assisi, soggetta a Perugia, cominciò a declinare sino a quando nel Quattrocento divenne parte dello Stato Pontificio.
Dopo un certo periodo di tranquillità conseguente alla pace con Perugia, Assisi, durante il rinascimento fu governata da diverse signorie il cui dominio fu caratterizzato da cruenti lotte con le città vicine, a seguito delle quali subì diversi terribili saccheggi e devastazioni.
Tumblr media
In campo artistico lo stesso rinascimento vede ancora sorgere palazzi, fontane e, in campo pittorico, le opere più significative sono da additare nella costruzione della Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli.

Minerva Visconti - Pros and Cons list
Uh, please don't take this to be demoralizing, fellow survivor. It's just a game, ha!
Pros:
- She has REALLY good posture. It's intimidating.
- She's kind of intimidating. It's hard not to listen to her.
- She's a beautiful woman. Is that weird to say? I... I should say that in a list, right?
- She's got a scar on her nose, so I think she's broken her nose before. I have too! We both have crooked noses. I think that is cool. :)
Cons:
- She's kind of intimidating. It's hard not to listen to her. (Even when she's wrong.)
- Okay, I'm... kind of scared of her. She's really put together. She makes me feel way younger than I actually am.

By Amy Fredrickson 
Ferdinando Albertolli was born on 11 November 1780.  He was a member of a family of painters, architects, and stucco artists who lived in Ticino during the eighteenth century.  
The Albertolli family's work synthesized various Italian styles, including aspects of High Renaissance and Neoclassical art and architecture. Ferdinando worked not only as an architect, but also as a printmaker, designer, and professor. He received his education at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan. By 1804, he was teaching design and architecture at the high school level in Verona, and in 1807, he began teaching design at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice. Ferdinando took his uncle Giocondo Albertolli’s position as a professor of architectural ornamentation at the Brera in 1812, a position he held until his death. Ferdinando’s academic works were widely published in Verona, Venice, and Tuscany. His works not only demonstrate his uncle’s influence, but also his synthesis of Greek and Roman architecture. 
In 1838, he was awarded the distinction of Honorary Fellow to the Royal Institute of British Architects, and he was nominated as a member of the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna in 1843.  In addition to architectural designs, he illustrated Giocondo's publications and plates for Giovanni Antonio Antolini's Il Tempio di Minerva in Assisi confrontato con le tavole di Andrea Palladio (Milan, 1803) and the Descrizione del Foro Bonaparte (Parma, 1806). He also worked on illustrations for Cagnola’s Le solenni esequie di monsignor Filippo Visconti (Milan, 1802). Ferdinando was well-traveled throughout Italy and Greece, and he did travel abroad; he was convinced, however, like his uncle Giocondo, that one did not need to look outside of Italy for inspiration in art and design. He died in Milan on 24 April 1844.

Ace Visconti Head-Canons Nobody Asked For [Part 1 of ???]
___________________________
Authors Note - There's my OC mentioned on here so if anyone asks who Minerva is, that's who she is.
♤ Ace is ACTUALLY colorblind! Primarily, Ace is T E C H N I C A L L Y red-green weak so he wears prescription sunglasses; He does have other vision issues as well.
♤ Ace uses He/They pronouns! Ace also doesn't necessarily care about gender conforming clothing and, for example, has wore some of Minervas sweaters; Namely, her favorite mauve colored sweater.
♤ Ace and Minerva had one child together, and that was their daughter, Aria Vega Visconti; She was their only child, their miracle baby at that. Aria, unfortunately however, was killed that day Minerva was taken to the fog after debt collectors shot and attempted to murder the pair - To "motivate" Ace to pay up.
♤ Ace is from Argentina; His Italian heritage was from his father, who he had never met nor knows.
♤ Ace is actually multilingual!
Spanish and Italian were his first two languages he picked up on due to their upbringing in Argentina with his mother being frequent in both of these languages. They learned English, French, Romanian and German all on his lonesome - However, he picked up English from tourists and the like he'd frequently con and the like back home in Argentina.
Ace focused moreso on learning the "Romantic" languages.
♤ Ace snots when they laugh! His REAL laugh is something that he tends to keep buried away simply because they hate how it sounds; True, he's a master gambler. A master at gambling is a master at life, so hiding that should be easy right?
♤ Ace is, shockingly, VERY used to pain and that's why they're undoubtedly the quietest survivor.
Having a kidney removed by debt collectors, beaten by countless loansharks, having L O T S of his bones broken [and even a tooth knocked out] by an MMA fighter over a bet involving his prized lucky gators tooth. . . They're TOO used to pain.
♤ Speaking of Aces' missing tooth, Ace actually has it capped with gold! Gotta look sharp as ever, especially when it comes to keeping the wife happy.
♤ Ace isn't even their real name, their last name isn't technically what they were born with either; So far, only Minerva knows the REAL identity of Ace.
The only thing that is theirs, is the middle name; Raquein.
Visconti is the supposed last name of Aces' biological though VERY much absent father, their real last name is Villalba, their mother's last name [seeing as she had Ace out of wedlock and was a single mother.] When Ace forged a new identity to escape from their past in Argentina and Italy, they snagged their supposed father's last name and ultimately settled on a card suit for the first name.
Alvarez Raquein Villalba is Aces' birth name; But Alvarez ""died"" long ago, and is an identity Ace will never be able to have again.
♤ Ace is ambidextrous and HIGHLY proficient at writing with both hands; After all, it helps when forging new identities and the like.
♤ Ace is VERY openly bisexual with no real preference; They find women beautiful and men handsome.

What would a wedding between Ace and Minerva look like? Like, flowers, playlist, vibe?
If you were to dive into Minervas canonical wedding with Ace, it was [unfortunately in her eyes] on the Vegas strip in a little location. Said location had a built in hotel for newly weds to stay the night, with a water bed and liquor provided in the room the couple was staying.
While that was their canonical wedding, for the sake of this ask, I'll cover Minervas DREAM wedding she would've loved to have; Note that while she didn't want a Vegas wedding persay, she was happy to be Aces' wife all the same. No matter how cheap and fast their real wedding was, she loved Ace wholeheartedly; This is not saying he's a "bad husband for marrying her in Vegas" or what have you. Ace simply impulsively suggested a Vegas wedding, seeing as they had their daughter BEFORE marriage and it'd only make sense that Minerva D'Angelo became Minerva Visconti quickly.
Vegas weddings are simply faster.

Minervas dream wedding with Ace?
She would've LOVED to have a small chapel wedding, though the main events will happen outdoors ; While she has no family to invite, it'd house her small friend circle with bridesmaids. She would've wanted a wonderful dress, a dance, cake. . . The whole shebang. Seeing Ace in a lovely suit, being held in his arms as the two dance together would've been something out of a fairytale for her.
Her favorite flower, apart from pink roses, are lilies and carnations; Undoubtedly, she would have certainly have a bouquet of these flowers for her wedding. They'd be adorned with a mauve silk ribbon - Mauve being her favorite color - with gold tresses complimenting the ribbon.
As for their playlist for the wedding [apart from my ship playlist for them of course] I could see the pair utilizing older love songs from musicians such as The Ink Spots, Elvis Presley and the like. Slow, easy songs to dance and sing along with but very loving/romantic just like the pair of them. Their song they would undoubtedly dance to, would ABSOLUTELY be Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers ; Considered one of the most romantic songs of all time, it was released in 1965 and is STILL very popular to this day.
The general vibes at the wedding would ABSOLUTELY be very lovely; With the decor, to the cake, to a traditional Italian wedding soup. . . It'd be a lovely ceremony at hand and all who are close to the pair would be invited. They'd stick to a traditional Italian wedding for the most part; Which means no gold jewelry, they would do the breaking of a glass, they'd be married on a Sunday, no white dresses are allowed EXCEPT for the bride to be, the throwing of rice at the newlyweds. . . You get the general idea.
Now. Enjoy the wedding outfit concept I had commissioned! Artist below!

do you have some fluffy/silly ace x minerva hcs to share? 💞💞
Oh I most CERTAINLY got some HCs to give to you, my only person in my inbox ♡ These MinervAce HCs are for you.
* P L E A S E* note that Ace in these is based off of MY Ace - MY Ace has no reflection on others HCs, so these are all purely my personal HCs and are not to be taken as canon for anyone writing Ace out there. Thank you.
_____________________
1. ) Ace may not be able to cook to save his life, but he definitely helps Minerva around the house.
While she has to cook dinner [she absolutely don't mind,] Ace helps with dishes or does the laundry. He will clean up high places for her too, and that's just how he likes it - Trust me, he can barely handle the oven without a disaster hitting him. While he's a VERY lucky guy, he's not all that lucky in regards to cooking. . . B U T, Ace can operate a grill rather nicely whereas Minerva has a bit of a learning curve! So for the occasion where Minerva wants something grilled? Ace is putting on his silliest apron and doing just that.
2. ) SLIGHT NSFW MENT. But not really anything explicit.
Ace and Minervas first time together in an intimate setting was, needless to say, a colorful experience. In the process, Ace had accidentally tripped over his own pants he was trying to slip off, Minerva hit her head on the wall, Minerva wasn't the best at dirty talk so she said silly things. . . After that, their initial plan was out the window by that point because the pair was simply laughing because they were being clumsy messes in the heat of the moment.
Besides. Ace was honestly a bit grateful; He's undoubtedly been around the bend a LOT in his life, so this was his first real relationship he was taking things slow with. It felt nice to go from explicit to him just settling into snuggling with his [at the time] girlfriend, hands on her stomach and watching TV until he dozed off with her.
3. ) Aces favorite part of Minerva, is her stomach; Anyone who knows Minerva knows her stomach is something that is the subject of insecurity for her.
A c section scar across her stomach and MULTIPLE stretch marks cover the skin of her stomach, in addition to her being a bit of a curvy woman, her confidence in her looks is needless to say absent. Having had a baby, gained weight from being a mother to her body not properly disposing of the leftover fat from carrying the baby, she was no longer the thin picturesque woman she was in her youth.
But Ace? He ADORES her belly - He finds himself tracing stretch marks or the c section scar, if he's ever holding her from behind then his hands are atop her tummy, if he's the little spoon on the odd occasion then he's resting his head on her tummy. . . He does these things because not only does he find his wife undoubtedly beautiful, but he also wants her to know that he loves her flaws very much so.
4. ) Ace and Minerva have DEFINITELY swapped clothes on occasion; For instance, Ace bought a fur coat for Minerva but he's definitely wore it on the odd occasion or two. Minerva has most definitely wore Aces' clothes, despite their height differences; If anything, she usually gets her clothes a bit bigger just so Ace can wear some of her stuff if he wishes with the exception of her dresses, which are tailored to her like a glove.
5. ) Ace ABSOLUTELY brings Minerva to the casino with him - That's Lady Luck, can't you see? Not that he himself PERSONALLY needs more luck, he does like to have 'backup' luck in reserve.
He additionally let's her perform 'good luck' spells so to speak; For instance, he will let her blow on dice before he throws it, he will let her give him kisses for luck. . . The works. And, given her profession as a former Blackjack dealer, her insight is DEFINITELY helpful!

idk if you're still doing the headcanon memes, but if you are could i have ❣ and ✎ for minerva? c:
Naturally, I am still very much open for headcanons for any of the characters I write on here! Do not be shy.
ORIGINAL POST
_______________
❣- What calms your muse down? ;
When Minerva was not in the fog, a relaxing bath with flower petals and a bathbomb; Scented candles lit up and primed to help her senses ease. Additionally - Minervas guilty pleasure is stress baking - Particularly sweets - And she can bake for hours on end, her favorite thing to bake when stressed out however HAS to be various pies. Her pie crusts are homemade and, as such, gives her something to focus on rather than whatever is stressing her out.
However, in the Fog, things are obviously rather different from home and Minerva has other means of relieving stress that undoubtedly builds up from trials or other situations that are thrown at her. Minerva has ALWAYS had a soft spot for dancing, after all, she was going to college [prior to her injury to her ankle] to become a ballet dance instructor for children so she tends to dance to tuneless songs she hums or even tries her damndest to recite music from memory.
Apart from dancing, she turns to organization. Be it organizing medkits or toolboxes, something to keep her focus elsewhere as well as keep her hands busy, if it needs organized by god she'll do it.
She even goes as far as, on occasion, doing makeup or survivors hair; Braiding it, cutting it, styling it. . . That's what makes her feel at peace the most in the fog.
✎- Can your muse draw? How well/How Bad? ;
Minerva is by no means, an artist; She is gifted with her hands, that much is true, but drawing has never been a strong suit of hers. She can easily make intricate patterns with dough, she can make the best homemade pasta noodles but drawing? That's a no go.
She tried to draw a snowman on an iced cookie once and she solemnly swore to never do such a thing again after how horrible it looked.
Stick figures are her "strong" suit and even then, they are NOT the best things ever; Just let her have some clay, she can certainly make something better looking then her drawings.
