Seasonal Vibes Meme
So, saw a prompt on twitter about what seasonal vibes a character/ship gives off, so I think it'd be a fun question for here and a good writing exercise:
What seasonal vibes does your OC / squish / ship give off? Are they like spring or winter? Can also include not so traditionally thought of seasons, like the rainy season, harvest season, winter/spring thaw, a local holiday season, bug season, etc.
For those that wanna do this too, you can do your OC (fandom or original), or even just your favorite fictional squish at the moment.
For those that wanna do ships, sky's also the limit. MC x canon, OC x canon, canon x canon, selfship x canon, romantic or platonic, doesn't matter, just whatever the seasonal vibe is with a lil blerb as to why that is.
No pressure tagging: @lorei-writes, @kissmetwicekissmedeadly, @scummy-writes, @honeybyte, @batteryrose, @drachonia, @limonzu, @tsundere-mitsuhide, and anyone else that's wants to play.
-----
Houki/Mitsunari (IkeSen): Spring, Sweet blossoming beginnings. Both are discovering new things around them (Houki quite literally as she's from a different world all together, Mitsunari learning about love and confidence) and while there may be storms along the way, they help each other blossom into themselves.
(plus it doesn't help that @beni-draw-ikemen-please drew them surrounded by cherry blossoms a while back, so I'll always think of them with the springtime vibes)
---
Ophelia/Kennyo (IkeSen): Late Winter/Early Spring Thaw. Times of deep turmoil coming to an end so that something new and wonderful can grow. They both have troubling things happen to them in the past, but as time passes, they learn to grow as people and to put the harsh times behind them so they can have hope for the future.
---
Thea/Theo/Arthur (IkeVamp): Summer. Time of high heat and fun adventures. They bicker and tease each other a lot of the time, but they never turn down having an adventure together. Whether that adventure consists of solving some small mystery in town, walking hand in hand in hand through an art gallery they helped set up together, or challenging each other in cards or arm wrestling in the gaming room, they never forget that doing it together is the best part of any adventure.
---
Abby/Vincent (IkeVamp): Autumn. Change and reflection on the times of the past. Abby goes through a lot changes in her life, Vincent being present for a lot of her later changes, sometimes even triggering them himself. But he always wants to be a part of her life, especially after he lost her the first time, putting a change in him that rippled across all the lives they had connected with before.
---
Maddie/Harr (IkeRev): Early Summer. Not as young as they used to be to be like spring, but still want to have the fun they had/didn't have in their youths. Harr is a hardened academic at his core and Maddie is discovering magic for the first time, three decades into her life. They have insatiable curiosity despite not being spring chickens anymore. Their lives are shaped by their pasts yet they still want to explore the world and discover more of its mysteries and wonders.
---
Clara/Nokto (IkePri): Rainy Season. The sun after the rain is much more beautiful than the sun before the rain. At first, Clara hated Nokto. She hated him for taking advantage of her and for putting her in situations she felt she had no business being a part of. However, once his masks were washed away, as it were, she saw who he was underneath. How much this man actually cared, about the kingdom and about her despite his wicked ways. How tightly he held her when he opened up about his insecurities, about how much better everyone else was compared to the jester he made himself out to be. How he didn't deserve the ray of sunshine she was, how jealous he was about her open and honest ways. How much he wished he could be like her. And once the rain stopped and the sun came out again, they found the other much more beautiful drenched but smiling. That though they went through some hard times, they still came through the storms to see light again.
---
Miri (Obey Me): Spring, She doesn’t have a set suitor yet, but the ones that I have romantically shipped her with (and with all her platonic ships too), she has the aura of spring: sweet, innocent, blossoming love, sometimes a little unpredictable in the newness of everything. She wants to be kind to everyone, even if it sometimes is a detriment to herself. She wants to do right by the three realms, even if that sentiment maybe a little naïve compared to others who have lived through harder times than she has. Yet her newness and fresh outlook has changed some of even the toughest of opponents and has helped heal and soothe even the bloodiest wounds of the past. She's bringing about positive change in a world that doesn't want change but desperately needs it.

47. Creation [Abby, Miri]
Tumblr media
Happy Last Wednesday of March! It's that time again, another theme to get the writing juices going. This time, we got the theme of creation!
Raw, unedited writing below. We got Leonardo making observations about Abby and Vincent in her section, while Miri's section is cute and sweet with Luke and Barbatos.
Check out my masterlist!
-----
Abby
Leonardo stood in the doorway of Vincent's room, sunlight pouring into the room, but there was something else in the room that could rival the sun in brightness and warmth.
Vincent's back was to him, his apron tied loosely around his torso. His feet were planted firmly on the floor as he sat on his stool. And if that had been the only thing of note, he might have left, to leave a fellow artist to his creation devices.
But the second set of feet, dangling between Vincent's, and a smaller hand holding onto a paintbrush in his, had the older vampire smiling with affection.
He remembered the day he had found Abby struggling to make her lines looser and how he had given her some tips, as an artist, but also to help with her general demeanor. Scrunched up like a nervous kitten wouldn't help her in the long run and he had hoped the message got across when he was teaching her.
Now, it seemed it was Vincent's turn to help her, much closer to her than he had been, sitting in his lap. Both of them were growing bolder, he thought. A natural process for Abby as she was overcoming her timidity, but she wasn't the only one growing bold. Leonardo looked at his hand, remembering when he had attempted to pat her head, something he had done countless times to encourage the little cara before, only for Vincent's hand to stop him, pushing him away from her not unlike a lover would protect his love from unwarranted advances.
He chuckled and pushed away from the door frame, closing the door fully behind him. He also couldn't help but see Vincent's hand tightening on Abby's thigh, a blue eye briefly glancing directly at him for a split second before returning his attention back to the painting session.
Even for all of his long life, Leonardo felt the briefest of chills from that single look and started walking away, lighting his cigarillo as he walked away.
"Cavolo…" he whispered, shaking his shoulders of their tension.
----------
Miri
Miri looked at the timer on her D.D.D and checked the time, Luke standing nearby. Barbatos held onto oven mitts that matched Miri's and Luke's mitts, a gentle smile on his face.
"Is it almost done?" Luke asked.
"It's pretty close, I think." Miri answered, checking the time one last time. "It should be pretty close to that cake we saw on Devilgram the other day."
"What was it called?"
"In the Human Realm, we called it a castella cake."
"And you bake it with steam?"
"Yep, that's what makes it so light and fluffy, along with all the air inside it. That's what makes it move like that."
"It wiggled so much in that Devilgram video, it looked alive!"
"I hope this one wiggles just as much!"
A soft beeping soon echoed in the kitchen, alerting all three to the time.
"Moment of truth, everyone!" Miri said, stepping to one side of the giant oven. Luke scrambled over to her side, oven mitts at the ready.
"Please be cautious as I open the door." said Barbatos, carefully pulling down on the handle.
Hot air soon filled the room, making Miri and Luke wince, but only momentarily as the smell of baked cake soon followed. Barbatos pulled the rack forward, hot water sloshing around in the pan.
"On the count of three," Barbatos said, putting his mitted hands on one side of the baking pan. Miri and Luke took the opposite corners, ready to lift the massive cake from its watery bath, which was both longer and stood taller than all three bakers combined.
On his command, the three lifted the massive cake, moving it to the nearby counter, amazed at how much it did indeed move and wiggle, dancing to their movements.
"Wahh!" Luke exclaimed, "it does move!"
"Told you it would!" Miri laughed.
Barbatos only smiled gently.
"I'm sure that everyone will be pleased with your efforts, both of you. A job well done."
"We all made it together!" Miri said, "and I think there should be enough for everyone! Even Beel!"
"Perhaps you should message them to come to the castle?" Barbatos was already turning away, intent on finding his master, hopefully still working on the paperwork left for him that day.
"Yeah, it's waaay too big for me to carry by myself. We can have a castella party!"
"Yeah!" Luke said, "I'll message Simeon and Solomon! They have to come too!"

74. Are You Challenging Me? (Houki, Abby, Miri)
Tumblr media
This one was a fun prompt as it let me explore more platonic relationships between my girls and the suitors (save for Miri but we'll get to her)
Regular warnings apply: incomplete raw writing, might ramble in some places. Spoilers for Lessons 11/12 from Nightbringer as well.
Some Notes: I only briefly glanced at how Go is supposed to be played so I'm fairly certain how Houki and Nobu are playing it isn't how it's supposed to be played, but just roll with it; Arthur just inserts himself between Abby and Isaac playing a card game so there's that, and Miri's entry also involves choking.
-----
Houki
Nobunaga laughed.
"So, are you challenging me, Fireball?"
Houki pouted, staring directly into Nobunaga's carnelian eyes.
"You stole territory from me, my lord," she said, looking at the board again, "I won't let such a travesty stand for long."
Nobunaga smirked.
"I look forward to your counter-attack. What you look like riled up."
Houki concentrated, looking for any openings she could, what strategy would be best to take him down, quickly preferably. The longer Nobunaga had to think, the more he could render her defenseless and defeat her in this battle of wits. She looked left and right, scanning what strategy would be best deployed where.
Finally, to finish the game quickly, she pulled a risky move leaving her defenseless on her right, but it gave heavy damage to her opponent. Nobunaga's eyes glimmered as she picked up his stones.
"I see you've learned well." Nobunaga picked up a singular black stone, spinning it between his fingers. "However, you still have much to learn."
He set his stone down in her defenseless place, dealing just as much damage to her as she had given him, the number of white pieces he picked up and set in his bowl like a knife stabbing her the same number of stones. She frantically searched the board, trying to find any openings she could, something she could use to win over him.
She sighed when she couldn't find anything and handed over a white stone to Nobunaga, who chuckled.
"Giving up already?"
Houki nodded, defeated. Nobunaga then set a black stone in her hand as well.
"You fought well, regardless of the results, Fireball. Hold your head high."
"T-thank you, my lord." She looked at the board again, counting the number of empty on her side. "Thirteen."
"Twenty-six."
Houki flinched at the number. Even with her handicap, Nobunaga still won by a large margin. She sighed.
-----------
Abby
"Oh, is that a challenge I hear?" Arthur said, leaning his elbow on the table, his hand cradling his chin. He was far too much in Abby's personal space for her comfort, make the girl lean back and bite her lip.
"C'mon, love." Arthur leaned in further, "a simple card game? Surely you can give me the thorough thrashing I deserve."
"B-but, I just wanted to play with-"
"Leave her alone, you brute." Isaac grumbled, pulling him away by his coattails. "Abby and I were going to play a game just between the two of us. You don't need to be butting your nose in where it doesn't belong."
"Aw, c'mon, Newt! Haven't you heard the phrase, the more, the merrier?"
"Would you just bugger off and just let us play cards in peace?"
"Just between the two of you? That's no fun. Surely three playing would make it more exciting."
With the permission of neither player, Arthur pulled up a third seat between them and began shuffling the cards.
"We didn't want you to play because you win each time!"
Abby just sat quietly, her hands clutching her woolen skirt.
"So kids, what are we playing? Blackjack? Rummy? Some good ol' poker?"
"…Bl-Blackjack." Abby stuttered, keeping her head down.
Arthur smiled.
"Ah, the perfect game to play with three people!"
"We never said you could play too!" Isaac scolded.
"But you need someone to be your dealer, don't you?"
"You can play Blackjack just fine with two people!"
"But it's much more interesting with three people, Newt!"
"Stop saying that." Isaac grumbled.
"That said," Arthur smirked, "what should we wager?"
"W-wager?" Abby blinked in surprised.
"We're not betting anything!"
"Sure we are." Arthur smirked, "who's ever heard of a game of Blackjack without stakes?"
He then looked at Abby, watching as her cheeks warmed.
"What are you willing to put on the line, dearest Abigail?"
"I-I…."
"Stop intimidating her, you twat!"
"I-I… I can make something for whoever wins? Like some chocolate fudge… o-or a sandwich?"
Both Arthur and Isaac froze.
----------
Miri
"Miriam." Lucifer said, his voice low and sharp as steel.
She stepped back, knowing she had nowhere else to run. Solomon was on the ground, held down by Lucifer's spell. She felt hands brushing her shoulders, her only warning as long, cold fingers grasped her neck, choking her. Her feet then left the ground, putting her eye to eye to Lucifer blood red eyes.
"Lucifer, stop!" Mammon called out, only held back his younger brothers, their eyes full of fear as they clung to him in his Little D form.
"I want answers, Miriam." said Lucifer. "Who are you, really? Why are you here? Why do you have my Ring of Light?!"
Miri winced, trying desperately to uncurl his fingers, struggling for air.
"You know you'll kill her before get any answers if you keep that up, right?" Thirteen drawled with a sigh.
"Let her go, Lucifer! Please!" Levi called out, shaking just as much as Asmo, both trying their best to hold Mammon back.
"Silence!" Lucifer yelled, "are you challenging me too?"
Levi shook his head frantically. Lucifer turned back to Miri, still struggling to free herself.
"Answer me, Miriam." His hand clenched tighter, making her cough.

[Repost] Do Not Disturb - Miri
Tumblr media
Part of this set of WIP Wednesdays
Been wanting to do something like this scene for a while. Did a sketch of it a while ago, but now I'm putting it in writing form!
Raw, unedited writing. Takes inspo from Lesson 30-1 of the OG game. Miri showing signs of illness is meant for foreshadowing for later lessons (her powers are starting to get a little too much for her to handle and this is about where it starts happening)
-----
"And that was how the Great Celestial War ended-!"
The library had grown suspiciously quiet. No quiet scratching of pens or page flipping. No whispered questions from Luke to Simeon, or even of Miri's foot that had been swinging and sliding on the rug previously. Satan lowered his textbook in his hand, only to be greeted by twin soft snores and Simeon's apologetic grin.
Satan sighed.
"Really?"
"It was a lot to take in for the two of them."
"It's all on the exam! How do they expect to-" Satan sighed again, giving up.
"They tried their best to keep up and that's the most important part." Simeon pointed to the pages of notes the other two had kept while listening to Satan's lecture. Luke's was relatively neat and organized, as was expected of the younger angel. And while her handwriting wasn't exactly neat, Satan smiled at spying some little doodles alongside Miri's notes, like a bunch of trees in the section about the Devildom's beginnings, and a three-legged crow in the margins. Simeon chuckled, catching Satan's attention.
"What? Did you think of something funny?"
"Hmm… how do I explain it?" Simeon looked skyward. "As I was listening to your lecture, I couldn't help thinking…"
"About what?"
"Our history is so violent and bloody. Yet now we're able to gather in peace and study it together like this… it really is amazing."
Simeon then looked fondly at Miri and Luke, both with their heads in the arms on the table, happily in their private dream lands.
"Did you ever imagine we would get to this point?"
Satan shook his head with a smile.
"Hmm… can't say I did, no."
He watched Miri more closely, seeing her breathe in and out gently. Her pink curls cascaded over her shoulders and on the table, reminding him of cotton candy. Satan also couldn't help but notice she was paler than usual, almost to a sickly quality. It was the first he'd seen of it. Had the stress of the exams been getting to her and he never noticed?
He did, however, notice that there was something in Miri's hair that wasn't there before and frowned.
"Hey," he said pointedly at Simeon, "what are you doing?" 
"What do you mean," Simeon said innocently, "I was just stroking her hair."
"Don't get so touchy-feely with her."
"Why?"
"Just.. don't, okay?"
"Why? Are you jealous?" Simeon smiled.
"It's nothing like that, but don't touch her."
"Ah, you're just being her protective big brother, then?"
"You're still touching her."
"Her hair is quite soft," Simeon teased, "You should try it once you get the chance."
Satan glared, wanting to pull the angel's hand off of Miri, but didn't want to disturb her rest.
"She… hasn't been feeling well lately, has she?" Simeon asked as Satan's eyes widened.
"How did you-?"
"She feels warm, more than normal." Simeon took off one of his gloves and touched two fingers against her forehead, then her cheek, then her throat.
"Is she sick?"
"Not exactly, at least not yet."
"Maybe the stress of the exams are getting to her? Like you said, it's a lot to take on if it's all new to you."
"Possibly."
Satan then remember when they had all went to the Carnival before the exams started. When Beel had been throwing his food temper tantrum and he, Lucifer, and the others had been drawn into the fight. Miri had looked upset (naturally, they were all being idiots at the time), the pact marks on her body started to glow, somehow escaping her notice. Next thing he knew, she was yelling at all of them to stop fighting and he landed on the ground, hard, unable to move a muscle. Painful groans from his brothers told him they suffered the same fate, five more bodies accompanying him on the floor.
He also remembered hearing a soft something hitting the floor, his eyes trailing to see Miri's new zombie iguana plush she had gotten at the carnival fallen from her grasp. Looking up further, he saw the look of horror on her face, both hands covering her mouth. The ghost waiters surrounded her, praising and applauding her happily, but she took no notice of it, only staring as the six of them laid pinned to the ground.
"Maybe… something else is affecting her?"
"Hm?"
"She's been scared to use the pacts ever since that fight at the Ghost Café. It was such a powerful force that none of us could escape from."
"I remember hearing about that. Solomon said the first time he tried commanding multiple demons at once, his body ached for a while afterwards."
"She didn't look like she was hurting after the fact." All of his brothers definitely were, he remembered that part clearly, but not Miri. "She was just really quiet, not really talking to any of us after the fact. Lucifer kept staring at her, too. It was weird."
"Hmm…" Simeon put his glove back on, lost in thought.

Different Universe, Same Love: Free Day
Tumblr media
The mysterious wizard Solomon morphs a young sheep named Miri into a girl and gives her a mission: help the Demon Prince Diavolo get back the pieces of his heart. With a magical pendant from the wizard, she transforms into her alter ego, Princess Tutu, and performs magical dances to ease the pains of the demons in Devildom, including the seven newest residents, fresh from the Celestial Realm.
----------
Like with last year's free day, I turned to au generators to help me choose a prompt to use and this year didn't disappoint.
There was Decade AUs (Regency AU, Prohibition Era, 1950s, 1990s, etc ), Pirates, Hospital, Steampunk, all fun and I probably something wanna try to do at a later date, but the one that stuck out the most was one I got from springhole, which was 'A quirky ballet AU set in a magical girl universe.'
The idea sounded familiar, ballet and magical girl universe. It's a common enough combination, but there was one that stood out the most prominently in my mind.
Princess Tutu.
Then everything clicked into place, leading to this. A magical sheep that does ballet, that can transform into a humanoid ballet dancer.
Thus how this idea was born.
Referenced from this gorgeous piece of Princess Tutu fanart from carduelisart on pixiv
Thanks again for Mo (@xxsycamore) and Julie (@queengiuliettafirstlady) for hosting this event again this year and I'm glad that I got to participate again!
Here's looking to the future!

Love (All my IkeSeries OCs and my Obey Me OC)
Tumblr media
It's cheating, I know, but Valentines is today, and the prompt was perfect, but did not have the time to make anything completely finished, so it's a set of wips I made for this year.
Regular warnings apply: raw, unedited writing, some might cut off in the middle, some might get ramble-y. Maybe some vague sense of spoilers for Clara and Nokto as it does kinda play off a scene (or two) in his route. Most of entries deal with romantic love, but there are some that deal with self-love (Ophelia) and platonic/familial love (Miri, Maddie-ish (she has platonic and romantic in hers, so...).
My Masterlist
----------
Houki
Warmth resonated through Houki as she walked with Mitsunari through town, pinky fingers holding each other securely. In her other hand was a recently purchased new book, the leather cover smooth and cool against to her fingers. She had been wanting this book based on Ieyasu's (albeit reluctant) recommendation on local plants that had different medical properties. Plus, a book shopping trip with Mitsunari saw his other arm holding a satchel filled with tomes of varying other subjects, some she was sure were also medical in nature.
When she had left Ieyasu's palace that one day with Mitsunari, she had told him about the unfortunate circumstances regarding the angry scab on her finger, how before she had come to Sengoku era Japan, she had received a poisoned letter meant for her cousin, and a small papercut might spell her doom as the poison that had coated the paper of the letter was a rare one from where she was from, with no known cures. Ieyasu did what he could with the knowledge and supplies he had on hand, but Houki wanted to see if there was anything else she could do to, if not stop the poison completely, then at least make the symptoms manageable.
Speaking of manageable symptoms, her feet started to slow, pulling Mitsunari to stop in his tracks. He looked back at her with a gentle, understanding smile.
"I can go on further," Houki said, stubborn.
"It's been a long walk for you," Mitsunari reasoned, pulling the satchel from his shoulder. "I'll carry you the rest of the way home."
"You don't have to do that, Mitsuna-ah!" His bag, heavy with books, was now in her hands and her feet were lifted into the air, her cheek pressing into his chest.
"No arguments." He held her securely in his arms, carrying her like the princesses of old. "Besides, I like carrying you, remember?"
Houki pouted, her cheeks warming with embarrassment.
-------
Ophelia
The breeze tickled Ophelia's bare neck, different from when she pulled her hair into high buns or even the rare ponytail that she sported in her girlhood.
The mass of white blonde hair on the ground told her that this was indeed reality. She had shorn her own hair so short, it curled at the ends with the extra weight gone. It was so light, she almost didn't believe it was real.
With the lightness, came a sense of calm. A sense of relief. Her fingers glided so easily through her hair, she couldn't help but laugh.
"It's real now, old girl," she said, delighting in feeling her short hair. "Those old spinsters and high societies ladies would faint if they saw you now. No makeup, short hair, calloused hands."
She looked at her hands, indeed more calloused than they had ever been when she was a noble woman, no nail paint to hide the chips and the dry nail beds, no lotions or powders to soften the appearance of tiny scars and scratches. Not even a ring or two to express the wealth she had. Just bare, dry, knobby-knuckled hands that she called her own.
In a way, she preferred them this way. They was real. They were hers. This was the real her. She touched her face, no need to fear if she was smudging her makeup, just the soft skin of her face.
This was the real her, barefaced and honest.
She felt… free. She even felt… beautiful in her simplicity, in a way. No lies, no putting on airs, it was just her as herself.
There were plenty of things to hate about herself, she knew that in the back of her mind, but for now, looking at her reflection in the river, bouncy hair and dry hands, those thoughts stayed quiet.
-------
Maddie
"Ready to go?" Sirius asked, peeking around a bush covered in small magic crystals.
Maddie took in a slow breath, squeezing the bouquet in her hands.
"Yeah," she said at last, lifting up the hem of her long white skirt, "thanks for filling in for my Grandad. I know they would have wanted to be here, but…"
"No trouble at all, Little Lady." Sirius said gently, "I'm honored you thought of me for such an important task."
"The Queen of Spades walking Alice down the aisle for her wedding." Maddie giggled. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world."
"We all feel luckier, for having you in our lives. Harr especially."
Maddie smiled, thinking of Harr waiting for her at the end of the makeshift aisle. The Lake of Tears, while unconventional for a wedding, she and Harr both agreed it was too beautiful of a spot to pass up. Plus, with it's hidden away nature, and Harr's reputation still on the mend since the Magic Tower's higher powers were dismantled, they could have a quiet, private wedding with friends and 'official' witnesses. In the absence of a conventional priest, one or both army Kings could officiate weddings, Blanc had told her over tea one day. Or he could, as a notary figure of Cradle.
Of course, Maddie couldn't help but want all three at her wedding. She saw Blanc's white head and glasses turning her way in the front row as music began playing, a gentle smile on his face. Ray and Lancelot stood at the altar, both wearing proud smiles. Loki also stood at the altar, the biggest, toothiest grin he could muster on his face. And beside him was Harr, his cheeks slightly pink, but his smile was so bright, he could have beaten the sun by how much he was glowing.
------
Thea
Thea whimpers sounded remarkably close to a small puppy's whines when the sunlight hit her tightly closed eyes. Theo couldn't help the chuckle that escaped him as she tried to pull the covers over her eyes.
"C'mon, Hondje," The curtains were pulled open wider, letting the early morning light brighten the room more. "We got an early day today, so get up."
All he received in return was another pup-like whine and the covers pulled more over her head. Theo grinned.
"What, don't tell me you forgot how excited you were about this job?"
"Y'said nothing about getting up at the ass crack of dawn."
"We've got a long way to go to get there. Better to get ready now and come back when there's some daylight left." He rummaged around in the nearby dresser, pulling a pair of white stockings.
"If y'knew we had early day, you shouldn't have let us stay up so late."
"Not my fault you were so eager to get into my pants."
"Yes it was, teasing me like that." A mass of reddish brown hair and freckles slowly emerged from the blue comforter, rubbing the tired from her eyes. Little kisses of purple decorated her neck and shoulders, small reminders of their late night activities. She pulled her long hair over her shoulder, fingering combing the curls and the tangles out.
"You're just easy to tease. Couldn't resist." Theo kneeled in front of her as she swung her legs to the side of the bed, pulling the stockings over her feet and calves.
--------
Abby
"I'm home, Schatje." Vincent called out softly, the creak of the door following his whisper.
The lights were on and he could smell supper sitting on the stove top, but he didn't see Abby anywhere. Where could she have gone, he wondered.
He walked across the wood floors, squeaks and groans following his footsteps. He check the bath but she wasn't there. Wasn't in the kitchen nor the living room. Perhaps she had turned in early?
He called for her again, sliding the bedroom door open.
Thankfully, he heard her soft breaths and his heart relaxed.
Laid across the bed was Abby, fast asleep on her back, a pillow at her side. As if that wasn't enough to warm his heart, he could see was wearing one of his shirts again. It was too big on her, of course, but somehow, no matter the length, shirts on her always, without fail, raised up whenever she slept, exposing her belly to the world. Vincent always found it endearing, reminding him of King and Brush when they lived with le Comte. Abby always gave King and Brush belly rubs whenever they allowed it, the canine and raccoon seal of approval from her soft scritches evident on their faces.
Tempting as it was to rub her belly too, Vincent didn't have it in him to wake her from her peaceful dream, based on the sweet smile on her face. Whatever she was dreaming of, it made her so happy, she glowed in delight.
Instead he grabbed a blanket that had fallen from the bed, to at least keep her warm while she slept, but he couldn't help but notice some other small details about her as she slept.
Her hair was splayed across the pillows, a golden halo framing her face. Her lips were slightly parted, giving the slightest volume to her breaths. Her fingers were slightly curled as were her toes.
Her shorts (yes, they were hers, but he wouldn't be surprised if he had caught her with a pair of his, as she was wont to do), the button and the zipper were left undone, giving him a peek of her yellow panties. The elastic band had rolled down just enough to let her belly breathe, delicate curls of blonde hair trailing further down, hidden by cotton and denim. It took everything in him to not lean in and kiss her belly button, cute as it was, but no, he was going to control himself and let her sleep.
Vincent bit his lip, blanket settling in his hands.
Well, maybe one little kiss wouldn't hurt.
Setting the blanket down, he sat beside her, brushing her hair from her face, admiring the quiet beauty in her symmetry. Her cute little nose, cute ears, the curve of her jaw, her delicate fingers, the slope of her hips, her painted toes, he loved all parts of her.
His hand ran down her side, gently pulling his shirt down over her, stopping just before he could cover her completely. His finger lightly pressed into her as he leaned down, giving a delicate kiss to her belly, seeming to become rounder each day. He knew the reason for that, the reason for her soft, squishy little belly getting rounder as of late. Why her shorts were left unbuttoned and unzipped, why her panties were rolling down, why she was wearing his shirts instead of her own.
Matter of fact, she should be getting into the habit of sleeping on her side rather than her back, Vincent remembered. That's what the doctor had said anyway.
He asked himself again if he had the heart to move her, to make her more comfortable with the risk of waking her from her peaceful slumber.
---------
Clara
Her voice was starting to grow quieter, Nokto noticed. A quick glance saw her eyelids closing ever so slightly, trying desperately to stay awake. Her eyebrows furrowing in the attempt was so adorable, he couldn't help chuckling.
"Bed time, little miss," Nokto said quietly, gently tugging the book from her hands.
Once the tome was out of her hands, however, her head fell against his shoulder, startling the prince.
"Clara?" He asked
Instead of responding with a witty quip or an indignant squeak, all he heard was soft snores, not unlike a little kitten taking a nap.
Nokto chuckled again, pulling her closer.
"You trust me that much now?" he whispered quietly, "I feel honored you feel comfortable enough to fall asleep in my presence… again."
He recalled the first time he had taken her to his bed, the scent of alcohol reeking and mostly unpleasant on her, but she still held him so sweetly that night.
This time, she smelled much better, no alcohol to taint her natural musk of ink, paper, and the hint of rose water in her hair. He preferred her this way, this honesty about her. No heavy perfumes of the night, no smoky cigarettes, just her innocence.
He admired her for that, being so open next to him. It made him a little jealous and envious, how she could be so trusting, especially of him.
-------
Miri
[Yo, Miri!]
Her D.D.D. beeped on her pillow, alerting her of Mammon texting her.
[Look outside your door. There's something waiting for ya!]
Miri raised an eyebrow, curious but with a dash of worry. Mammon had been gone since that morning, but he wouldn't say where he was, as he usually declared it to everyone at the breakfast table, if it wasn't a school day. Matter of fact, he wasn't at breakfast today, but he did text her to say he was okay, but that he had something to do early today.
Sliding off her bed, Miri walked to the door, opening to the bright lights of the hallway.
No one was there, not Mammon nor were any of the other demon brothers.
Just as she was about to head further into the hallway, her toe found a medium-sized box on the floor. Miri tilted her head, looking around again for any other presence in the hallway, but finding no one.
Shrugging and shaking her head, she picked up the box and carried it inside her room, setting it on the table.
"Hope it's not some sort of elaborate prank…"
She carefully lifted the box lid, keeping it in front of her face in case anything jumped out at her. When nothing happened, she looked behind her cardboard shield and saw something wrapped in pink tissue paper.
Two somethings actually.
She set down the box lid and peeled back the tissue paper, seeing a pair of pink, expensive-looking sneakers. The label on the box even said they were her size. Was this what Mammon was aiming to do when he asked her about her favorite color?
Her D.D.D. beeped again.
[Pretty cool, right?] Mammon said.
Miri looked between the new shoes and her D.D.D.
[I was surprised] she replied. [Did you get them just today?]
[Sure did!] Even his texts sounded proud of himself. [I had to wake up extra early and line up cuz limited to a hundred pairs.]
Mammon then sent a picture of himself holding up a similar pair of shoes, the main difference being his were yellow.
[Even snagged myself a pair while I was there!]
[Be sure to wear yours the next time we go out together. We'll look so dope!]
Miri giggled, brushing back a pink curl behind her ear.

Some Reference for My Otome OCs
A few days ago, @shamylicious-blog posted about wanting references for OCs for drawing practice, and I thought, hey, it was about time I had a visual ref post for my girlies, so I decided to make one.
All art posted below is mine.
Ikemen Sengoku Houki
She is an MC transplanted from a different game into IkeSen. An avid book lover that sometimes gets carried away in her readings and studying. Her suitor of choice is Mitsunari.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
------
Ophelia
Another transplanted MC from the same game as Houki. Ophelia wasn't happy with her previous life but had accepted it for what it was, up until she was accused of a crime she didn't commit. Transporting to Sengoku Era Japan didn't help matters either, coming to hate Nobunaga and striking out on her own to get away from him. Falls in with Kennyo and stays with him for a while.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-----
Ikemen Revolution
Madeline "Maddie" Fleming
Maddie is my Alice that was inspired by the constant pokes at Sirius's age in-game, so I decided I wanted a magical girl that was 30+. Her powers are tied to her singing, letting her influence non-magical things into having magical properties. Her suitor of choice is Harr Silver
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-----
Ikemen Vampire
Dorothea "Thea" Reid
Thea was born of a want for historical clothing in IkeVamp, so she's a modern-day seamstress and fashion historian that happened to find her way to Comte's Home of Legendary Frat Boys. Depending on the AU going atm, she's paired with Theo or sometimes in a threesome with him and Arthur.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-----
Abigail "Abby" Clarke
Abby is a shy artist that had run away from home and ended up also at Comte's Home of Legendary Frat Boys. She learns to heal there and have confidence in herself before going back to the present day. Suitor of choice is Vincent.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-----
Ikemen Prince
Clara Laurent
Clara was swept into the royal life thanks to Sariel's search for a Belle to choose the next king. She's a no-nonsense book store clerk that feels like the princes are more trouble than their worth, but she comes to care for them as time goes on, despite their tendency to bump heads sometimes. Her suitor is Nokto.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-----
Obey Me
Miriam "Miri"
Miri wasn't in the best place, mentally and physically, when she was transported to Devildom to be a part of the student exchange program. As time passes, she starts to heal and learn about her powers, something that had before ostracized her in the human world, only to be embraced in the world of demons, angels, and sorcerers. As she's still relatively new, she does not have a set suitor yet, preferring to keep the familial relationship she has with everyone in Devilldom, but she likes spending the most time with Beel and Levi, sometimes Lucifer too.

58. Father (Houki, Thea, Abby, Clara, Miri)
Tumblr media
The one I got a little too exited to write, so I ended up writing it during most of last month instead of this month, whoops.
This one features Houki reminiscing about her past, Thea, Arthur and Theo welcoming their bundles of joy into the world, a quite spicy Vincent and Abby about sharing the news with him about becoming a father, a little Clara seeking out Mr. Akatsuki in her time of need, and Miri talking to Lucifer about Lilith.
Regular warnings apply: incomplete, raw writing, suddenly cuts in places; oc lore building; oc x canon children; pregnancy; polyam relationship with Thea, Arthur, and Theo; Abby and Vincent's does get spicy with him partially stripping her, heavy kisses, wandering hands, and mentions of past cock-warming (with a lil implied somnophilia from that? idk); Clara's includes talks of domestic abuse and her being left behind by her parents; and Miri talks a little bit about Lilith's death and the circumstances surrounding it it, so mentions of death and possibly spoilers for season 1 of obey me, I guess.
Check out my masterlist!
-----
Houki
The moon cast a silvery glow over the small garden, the quiet of the night bringing peace over Azuchi. Houki sat on the veranda in Hideyoshi's palace, hands folded neatly in her lap as she gazed up at the moon, the light reflecting off her glasses.
A bundle of grey fur pushed against her elbow, not deterred until she found a comfortable spot on Houki's lap, her loud purrs of satisfaction rumbling against her legs. Houki smiled and scratched her ears, making purrs somehow louder.
"Are you lonely too, Miss Kitty?" Houki giggled softly. "Mitsunari will be back soon. Don't worry."
Kitty flicked her tail, curling it back into herself. Houki went back to scratching the cat's ears.
"…You know, my father and I used to look up at the moon like this… back when I still lived in Jiyel."
Kitty chirped, as if she understood what Houki was talking about.
"He was… a quiet sort of man, my father. He loved books just as much as I do. We would always talk about what we had read recently over snacks and tea. And he would sneak me books whenever Mother wasn't looking."
Houki looked down.
"He… was the one most opposed to me going to Vale Isle after Jiya had ran away. I was ill-prepared. I was not ready to be married to a stranger for the sake of alliances. I just wanted to stay home and read my books in peace."
She sighed.
"But… Mother won out in the end. We couldn't lose our good standing in the family, and I was the only girl of marrying age that could do it."
Kitty raised her head, curious as to why Houki had stopped petting her.
"It wasn't so bad, my brief time at Vale Isle. I met all sorts of nobles and royalty from all the seven kingdoms. I met a pirate lord and a warrior princess that taught me how to get away from… stinky kidnappers, as she called them. I even got to rescue another princess from a brutish prince from Revaire. Me, rescuing a princess."
Houki looked down again, looking at the white scar on her finger.
"Then, by some twist of fate, I ended up here, rescuing another person from a horrible fate. A warlord at that. Lord Nobunaga."
"It's strange… how different your life can go based on a single decision. How if my father had succeeded in keeping me in Jiyel, none of this could have happened. I couldn't have met with pirate lords or rescued princesses and warlords in peril. I wouldn't have met Mitsunari…"
Kitty rubbed her head against Houki's hand, making her smile.
"Or you, dear Kitty. How different my life would be, if I had stayed in Jiyel, kept company by my books…"
She let out a gentle laugh.
"It sounds a little boring and lonely when I say it out loud, does it not?"
Kitty flicked her tail again, staring up at her with her big purple eyes.
------------
Thea
Arthur couldn't stop the grin on his face even if he tried. Cradled carefully in his arms was a small pink bundle, little curls of teal hair peeking under the blanket. He could see marks of Thea all over this little one's face, her nose and her ears most notable, but this one, this one, she was a curious little bird, staring up at him with her baby blue eyes. His heart melted just looking at this little darling, his little darling.
Another soft cry caught his attention, taking his attention away for a brief moment, reminding that the sweet joy in his arms wasn't the only new happiness in his life.
Theo held a similarly swaddled bundle in a blue blanket, the man himself whispering soft, sweet things in Dutch, rocking the babe to soothe him.
Between the both of them was the love of his and Theo's life, Thea, new mother to a set of twins that, by some miracle, looked like himself and the younger Van Gogh. Twins weren't uncommon whenever he delivered babies in his doctor days, but this was the first time he'd seen two twins looking like their respective fathers. Maybe it was a vampire thing? Something to ask Comte and Leonardo about later.
For now, he leaned towards Thea, brushing back her sweat dampened bangs and kissed her forehead.
"They're perfect, luv." He said quietly with a smile.
Theo glowed with pride, his own grin not soon to leave his face.
"He's actually right. For once."
Thea gave a tired laughed.
"Save the arguing for when I'm not so tired and sore."
She glanced between the two of them, her exhausted smile warm and gentle.
-----------------
Abby
Thunder boomed and rattled the windows of the apartment building, the only source of sound. It barely reached Abby's ears however. She stood at her front door, soaked to the bone and shivering. She knew she should go inside. She should take a hot shower and dry herself off, change into some warm pajamas. Eventually mop up the puddle she was leaving on the floor.
She could barely move, however. Not to enter her and Vincent's apartment. Not to face him when he would inevitably try and ask what was wrong.
She couldn't face him. She couldn't.
The rain dripping from her hair felt like tears running down her cheeks, though she knew she wasn't crying. Maybe. She wasn't completely sure.
She touched her stomach, her wet clothes clinging to her like a glove. Her breath shuddered as she touched herself.
It was too soon for any noticeable difference, far too soon. Yet resting her hand there, with her clothes clinging to her, she thought she felt a difference, a spark, something to make this real, to remind her that it was real.
Her breath shuddered again, her hands coming up to cover her face.
Suddenly, the door in front of her opened, the thud loud enough to mask the echoing thunder, filling the darkened hallway with light. Abby looked up, her eyes wide and shining.
Both stared at the other, struck to silence.
"Vin-" Abby's meek voice started to call to him, before she was lifted into the air and carried into the apartment, not stopping until her feet touched the fluffy yellow rug of their bathroom. Next thing she knew, his lips took hers, his fingers finding her shorts' fastener, almost ripping it from the denim cloth. He pulled her underwear down as well, his heated fingers pressing into her belly.
"Is it true, shatje?" he asked once he released her mouth, panting for breath.
She then saw the nearby trash can, five peculiar boxes filling it along with five little sticks. She froze. Vincent kissed her again, gentling his tone.
"That's where you went today, to make sure."
Abby nodded.
"Well? Are you?"
She closed her eyes, remembering seeing all those positive marks on all five of the tests. And the tests at the doctor's office.
"I-It makes sense, given the time frame." she said quietly. She could vividly remember the night she and Vincent had reunited, how he refused to leave her side, how waking the next morning he was still inside of her, rubbing her insides tenderly to not wake her. How very few nights after that rarely saw her alone in bed.
She then sneezed, reminding both of them that she was still in her wet clothes, chillier now thanks to Vincent removing her shorts and underwear. He gave a sheepish smile.
"First things first."
He reached behind her, to turn on the hot water in the shower. Abby took the opportunity to remove the rest of her wet clothes. She then looked at herself in the mirror, a full length one hanging on the back of the door reflecting her brown eyes back at her.
There was still no change, there couldn't be after only a few hours of confirming her suspicions with a doctor, she knew that in her heart of hearts. Yet she couldn't help but turn to the side, to see her curves and bumps in profile, and cup her hands under her belly as if there was a big change, something there for her to hold. She did the same as she turned forward, holding her hands over herself, holding what she assumed was the little life inside of her.
Hands larger than hers, rougher from years of painting and hard work, joined her petite ones, forming a little heart with his thumbs and forefingers. Vincent chuckled and kissed her cheek.
"You're still beautiful, you know."
He broke his little heart, one hand resting fully on her belly, warming her chilled skin. His other hand, however, had other ideas as it traveled south, tracing a line down to her inner thighs.
--------
Clara
Mr. Akatsuki, owner of a specialty book store in Rhodolite, was locking up for the night. A quiet day was ending just as quietly as it had began. He turned his sign around to closed and was about to lock the door when he heard a peculiar sound.
It sounded like crying. A young girl crying in fact.
The most peculiar thing was that it was coming from inside his shop. How strange.
After securing the door, he walked amongst his shelves and tomes from across the kingdoms. The sobs grew louder as he drew closer, finding a small girl with twin braids framing her head and an orange pinafore dress hiding her sobs. Mr. Akatsuki blinked.
"Miss Clara?" he asked.
He knew the little girl. She and her mother visited his shop frequently because of the young one's voracious reading habits. She had already gone through his selection of Jade fairy tales and children stories and had been looking to sink her little hands into some Benitoite pirate tales as of late.
But it was far too late in the day for a young child to be left unattended. Mr. Akatsuki knelt in front of her.
"What are you doing here so late, young one? Your mother is bound to be worried about you."
The little girl sniffed and wiped her nose on her sleeve.
"Mama's not home."
"She's not?"
"No…" Clara sniffed again, "she said she was going far away… and that she was taking Papa with her."
"Taking your Papa with her?"
Mr. Akatsuki rarely saw the father with the little girl before him. Before, he would always see the woman and child that came to his bookshop, eager to see his latest findings. He saw the man so infrequently that he wondered if her mother was widowed or separated for some reason from her husband.
The times he did see him however, Clara's mother always wore scarves and long sleeves, down over her wrists. She also walked with a limp sometimes, making him suspicious of something foul going on behind closed doors.
"Papa… said some things to Mama. Mean, hurtful things." The little girl shuddered, "then he… he hit her."
"He hit her?"
"Uh huh."
Mr. Akatsuki brought his light closer, seeing a dark red mark across the child's cheek. He could feel his blood starting to boil.
"Did he hit you too?"
Clara nodded, cradling her sore cheek.
"I wanted him to stop hitting Mama, so I pulled on his leg, trying to stop him and…" Her tears were starting to fall again.
"Did I do something wrong, Mr. Akatsuki? To make Papa so angry?"
He pulled his sleeve down to wipe her eyes.
"It matters not if you did any wrong-doing, Miss Clara." He pulled her to her feet, "Your papa shouldn't have struck you or your mother for that matter."
Clara sniffled.
"I want my mama back."
Mr. Akatsuki frowned, glancing at the shelves that contained countless tales of love and bravery behind the young girl.
"If you promise to stay with Mrs. Baker tonight, I can go look for your mama."
"It's really noisy at Mrs. Baker's place," Clara made a face. "She's got a lot of kids."
"You… could make some friends there?"
"They're loud and once tore the pages of my favorite book."
Mr. Akatsuki sighed. He hadn't been established in the little town for long, and the Bakers were the first people he thought of that wouldn't mind looking after a little one overnight, but it seemed little Miss Clara had some opinions about them.
"Just for one night? If it takes longer to find your mama, I'll ask someone else in town."
"Can't I just stay with you, Mr. Akatsuki?"
"Me?"
"I don't need much. I like reading so I'll be really quiet if you want me to be.. I can even clean up good if you want me too!"
"Miss Clara, I-!"
A little orange ball was soon clinging to his leg, her tiny arms surprisingly strong for someone of her size and age.
"Please, Mr. Akatsuki? I don't want you to leave me too."

Miri
"I get it what you're saying." Miri clenched her hands, her fist trembling. "It's still not fair… that she had to lose her life because she wanted to help someone she loved."
"It was the rule, Miriam." Lucifer said with a stern tone. "it was what Father said, and his word was law."
"Lilith didn't have to die for it!"
"I know she didn't!"
He closed his eyes, his brows scrunching as if he was in pain. "She wasn't at fault for what she did out of her love for humans. But not everyone saw it that way. It was just…"
"How things were." Miri finished, looking down and sighing. "Sorry. It's a touchy subject. For everyone. And I was being insensitive."
"You're not at fault." Lucifer turned towards her. "She would have said the same thing. Love is a lot stronger than we give it credit for."
"And… neither of us would be here without her." Miri said gently. "You would still be in the Celestial Realm with everyone and I would- well, I wouldn-…"
Lucifer snorted derisively.
"Don't think too hard about it, little sheep." he smirked, "you are a light in all of our lives and I, for one, am thankful for your continued existence, regardless of the circumstances that brought you into existence."
