I Don't Wanna Go

Anxceit / fluff / human au

If you know me you know I usually post these on my main- but, I decided to switch all things sander sides (except for reblogs) here so let's-a-go

_______________________________________________

"Hnghn." Virgil groaned, burying his head deeper into the warmth engulfing him.

The sounds of the office playing on the TV was enough to lull him back to sleep.

Until the warmth hugged him back that is.

Panic surged through him, and he almost jumped out of his skin- what stopped him? The realization that this was his partner, and that was cemented even further when they spoke up.

"Mm.. You're such a good pillow, you know that, Virge?"

Virgil smiled into Janus' neck as he listened to their sleep fogged voice. He was obviously more awake than Virgil, but not by much.

Their legs were intertwined, and Janus was holding Virgil like he was a giant teddy bear. And vise versa.

Virgil could only see blonde locks, complimented with the faint glow of purple LEDS. It was perfect. He could never be more content than this.

Virgil hummed, squeezing Janus tightly.

"Let me rephrase- were such a good pillow- you're killing me smalls." Janus sounded purposefully strained, letting out a dramatic breath of air when Virgil loosened his grip to laugh at his partner.

"What time is it?" Virgil didn't make any effort to check himself, in fact, burrowed deeper into Janus' side.

"It's, " Janus reached over Virgil, pressing against him even more as he grabbed his phone, turning it on briefly before dropping it onto the nightstand and falling back beside Virgil. "8:17."

Virgil whined, turning onto his back to indignantly stare at the ceiling.

"We got enough time for an episode, or we could go back to sleep?" Janus propped themselves up on an elbow, staring at Virgil.

Virgil sighed dramaticly. "I don't want you to go."

Janus laughed softly, quickly planting a kiss on Virgils forehead. "I can't just call in sick everytime you have me over."

Virgil stared at Janus before huffing. "Well- how am I supposed to get my fix?"

Janus chuckled, a hearty thing.

"I can just wear the same clothes as yesterday, how about that? So, we have more time together."

Virgil grinned up at Janus.

Janus leaned down and gave Virgil a soft kiss, resting their forehead on his after. "I love you so much." they smiled.

"I get that a lot. " Virgil smirked at Janus when they pulled away with a theatric groan.

"A chest wound! I surely won't make it out alive!"

"You'll live." Virgil laughed, Janus threw their hands up in the air.

"Oh, by the gods! Take mercy upon me, the pain is too much!"

Virgil rolled his eyes fondly, staring at them unbothered.

"Shut up." Virgil hit Janus lightly when they continued and Janus looked back at Virgil, and Feigning hurt.

"The cruelty!"

Virgil laughed turning over to watch the tv.

"I love you, dork."

"Dawh! How sweet." Janus slid up next to Virgil, slipping their hands into Virgils and watching from behind him.

"I don't want you to go.." Virgil sighed out after an episode.

"I don't wanna go. " Janus mumbled into Virgils shoulder.

After a minutes silence Janus spoke up one last time.

"I'm calling in."

On today's episode - incorrect quotes for all you ghouls ghosts and non-binary hosts

Logan: I started school with straight A’s. Now I’m not even straight.

Virgil: We’re playing Scrabble. It’s a nightmare. Roman: Scrabble? Scrabble’s great. Virgil: Not when you’re playing with Logan, it’s not. He puts words like “ephemeral” and I put “dog.”

Remus: Don't worry, I've got a few knives up my sleeve. Patton: I think you mean cards. Virgil: He did not. Remus, pulling out knives: I did not.

Roman: So what’s for dinner? Patton: I can’t tell you, it’s a soup-prise! Roman: … Roman: Is it soup? Patton: I soup-pose it could be! *winks* Roman: Please, enough with the soup puns! Patton: Wow, you’re soup-per mean. Roman: STOP! *one hour later* Roman: It’s fucking tacos?!?!?!

Patton: Do you ever feel bugs on you when really there’s nothing there? Roman: Those are the ghosts of the bugs you killed before. Patton: Patton: *sobs* Virgil: You fucking scared him, you idiot.

Virgil: Honestly, I am so evil. So full of darkness. I feed of the souls of the living I strike fear into- Logan: You sleep with a teddy bear. Virgil: He’s my sECOND IN COMMAND IN MY ARMY OF DARKNESS!

LFC LGBTQ+ headcanons

Ali is gay and has known it since he was a teenager. in my regular universe, he's currently a happily single pringle (although sometimes he longs for love).

Kloppo is bi and extremely aware of it. if the lfc media managers didn't exist, the whole world would be aware of it thanks to his extreme lack of subtlety. as a player he had the most GIANT crush on his former teammate, zeljko buvac (discussed in this fic: Mainz 05's Red, Irises Blue) and we know HOW many times he's complimented another man for being good-looking

Thiago and Kostas are not only gay, but dating each other with a WORK KID (enter Stefan Bajcetic)

Lexi isn't quite sure what he is yet, but he knows he at leasts likes men. He's in a comfortable relationship with Martin Odegaard now

Darwin is EXTREMELY pansexual, but more on the gay spectrum. it doesn't help that he's pretty af and all the guys, gals and non-binary/genderfluid pals want him

Domi follows that gay agenda to the point where he openly tells his teammates how hot they are and they're like "yeah, thanks, cool with it"

Adrian is straight, but currently single

Robbo just doesn't know. he thinks he MIGHT be ace, but right now he's just fine with being a single pringle

Trent THOUGHT he was straight...at least until Domi came along

Curtis is aromantic, he doesn't want to date, EVER. of course, everybody's accepting, but that didn't spare him an awkward moment when domi announced that the new "ship of the week" was Curtis and Jarell (enter gasps and shouts of "but they're babies!")

Virgil is bisexual. So far he's had a boyfriend (back when he was a teenager in the Netherlands) and two girlfriends (one relationship started and ended when he was in Southampton, the other one started in October 2022 and ended just before January 2023). None of the relationships lasted particularly long, but it doesn't mean they haven't left their tolls on him...

Mona Nemmer is in the grey area as well. She's not sure what she is, but she sure as heck doesn't want to get married

and that's pretty much it for now

final designs for da three nars! (well two, virgils had his for months now)

cecil (red) n jarvis (yellow) lookin drippeddddd skfjsjfjsjf

for some lore n more oz rambling they are under the cut!:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ALRIGHT LESGO

Cecil:

Cecil is the fully human Narrator. (in the sense, the one who got his third swimming pool), he is a retired VA whos enjoying his life post tspud and is just overal chillin(tm)

The two new narrators are basically to cover the whole ground of narrater interpretations. (ie. some guy in his room recording, a guy in his room speaking but digital, and a fully digital entity)

so this is the one that is just a guy who voices in the game!

(this isnt meant to be kevan brighting, think of his source is the og game, but with the addition of the extra content(the ads, the raphael parable, the stuff on the dev logs, announcement videos, etc from crows crows crows as canon)

pronouns are he/him.

hes a cis male whos pan

Virgil:

THE OG, MY OG GUY

Virgil is the half digital, half human Narrator. He used to be a regular office worker before being shoved into a computer and thus, becoming the voice for the Parable

His source follows TSPUD, my au La Vie En Jaune, (which you can read more of here!), all the art ive done with him on this blog, and the other things the narrator has been in (ie. dota 2, dungeons, audiobooks etc)

However, after Stanley and the Narrator find each other and break past the hard coded locks of the pARable, they end up in a more lighter version of the parable, more akin to a world the narrator, stanley, and lynne can pop in and out of. while also having more control and hold on themselves and the world.

the narrator is the first one to pop out of the parable, thanks to character!oz (my sona and the one that exists in this blog)

once the narrator gets a better handle at the real world, stanley and lynne follow.

here, hes a guy whos lived the parable and become a new person when coming back out.

He can hop between digital areas and the real world. which is how he is still able to do stuff as the narrator for dota, and work for other projects like dungeons and the multi media videos on yt.

his pronouns are he/they

he is a demiboy who is demisexual and omnisexual

Jarvis:

Jarvis is the fully digital Narrator. He is the one who was created in the Parable as a string of code turned AI.

His source and canon is just TSP, TSPUD, the demo, and the half life mod. He's experienced everything in the games a thousand times over and more.

Basically, hes the guy who pops between being just a voice or an ai with a model that follows stanley around the parable. he has control over the parable (to an extent ie. timekeeper and the developers) and is the one who wrote the story itself.

There is not much more to say about him really ajdjahf but despite the design and context, he isnt that much different from virgil

hes just more defensive, and more lost with living irl.

his pronouns are he/they/it

he is a non binary (smth smth "well, i dont associate with being either a male or female, i am still a binary entity. i am made of ones and zeros, stanley. so while my gender is non binary, my code is.") he is a pansexual demisexual

as of now, in an au idk what to call of atm (maybe just the three narry au) they are all living in the real world.

virgil popped into real life expecting to appear in character!oz's house but landed in cecils

meanwhile, jarvis got suddenly plopped into the real world. he doesnt know how to pop off but he doesnt miss it all too much

misses his stanley a bit.

#artswin #tsp narrator #three narrys au #virgil jameson #jarvis jameson #cecil jameson #tsp #tspud #the stanley parable #the stanley parable ultra deluxe #tspud narrator #stanley parable #the narrator #au #fourth wall au

We have an update on the Hell's Belles crossover/au thingy people!! Have a Virgil (also my art style went???)

@awitchbravestheverge (I wasn't sure which account you want me to tag lol please yell at me) @twoalpacas hello, two people who expressed interest in this. (Idk if you guys wanted to be tagged in everything I post about this or just bigger posts like this one /any fic I end up writing?)

Anyway so my brain finally stopped screaming long enough (and with help from my friend lol) for me to actually think out at least one of the sides, so:

Virgil:

He's a transmasc non-binary dude who uses he/they pronouns, is pretty GNC and works at the Hellp Desk alongside the Hell's Belles characters we already know!

Some backstory below the cut, not explained in detail but some TWs just in case: death (obviously), homophobia/transphobia, toxic relationships, also this is all subject to change as the au develops, this is just what I have so far :)

Virgil didn't have the best life growing up, his anxiety, undiagnosed autism and being gay and trans - though he didn't know about the last one until his teens - lead to him facing a lot of issues in the mortal world, his parents had pretty conservative, homophobic and transphobic views and because of it kicked him out when he was outed as trans at 16.

From there, he ended up staying with a toxic (though he didn't realise it at the time) friend, who later on became his romantic partner. He died only a year later at 17 in a car accident because of the same toxic partner.

When he first arrived to the afterlife, he didn't know what to do with himself, they told him he had a paradise, but all of the problematic people in his life had him so convinced that there must have been a mistake that he wasn't able to accept it straight away, instead finding himself lost in the universal hallway, so went down to hell instead in order to find answers. He met Judy first at the Hellp Desk and ended up being adopted into the Work Family pretty quickly.

In the afterlife he ages to roughly 24 but stops at that point. He has dyed hair that he changes the colour of frequently enough to be confusing.

---

I'm not quite sure why yet but it's very important in my brain that he meets Judy first, lol.

If anyone has any questions/thoughts about this AU so far I will gladly answer them/engage in conversation I'm excited about this.

I'm still thinking the other guys through a little so we'll have to wait for those!

Elizabeth Koroscale, Youngest Daughter of Sanori Koroscale 🀄

Age: 12-13

Gender: Female Pronouns: She/her

Species: Half Dragon half Kirin Presenting Changeling

Elizabeth is very interested in, and scarily good at dark magic. She often likes to terrorize trespassers around Sanori's house. Sanori is ultra protective of her. (Maybe more than he is of Cinna)

Luna Moonstone, Daughter of Kodiak Darkstone. 🌒

Age: 19-20

Gender: Fem Non-Binary Pronouns: She/They

Species: Half Unicorn Half Kirin

Sexuality: Lesbian/Panromantic

Luna is a student at the Twilight school of magic, she is one of the brightest Unicorns in her class. She is often found reading up on her magic studies, experimenting with potions, or relaxing with her family (Usually showing off the lessons she's learned). She works very hard every day to make her parents proud of her.

Kira Darkstone, Wife of Kodiak Darkstone 💐

Age: 35-40 (though she does not look or act like it)

Gender: Female Pronouns: She/Her

Sexuality: Bisexual/Panromantic

Kira used to live in the peaks of peril before she met Kodiak on one of his expeditions. She decided to follow him to Canterlot and fell in love with Pony society. It intrigued her, so she asserted herself in Kodiak's home. She still has a few wild tendencies, and she is a lot for her husband to handle. But through much love and affection, they've built a loving family together.

Virgil Venust, Youngest Son of Kodiak Darkstone. 🕸️

Age: 18-19

Gender: Male Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: Gay

Virgil was born with a deformed horn, so his magic isn't as strong as his siblings. He is excellent at low-level Stealth spells, but as far as offensive or defensive magic, it's virtually impossible. He wears a crown to project the confidence of a young prince. It's all a façade to his true shy, timid, and insecure character. While he is the son of a nobleman, he is far from an actual prince.

(Here's a look at the newer characters to maybe sway your poll votes, enjoy! 🍫)

things I've realised about Portal characters from writing them:

Any core that has never been referred to by another core by a distinct set of pronouns has no canon gender. Rainbow Core could be non-binary! Virgil could be a trans female! The only cores that are referred to by specific pronouns (to my knowledge) are GLaDOS, AEGIS and Wheatley.

cores that don't have any voicelines are especially gender-neutral. Heavy Metal Core could be a girl. Or enby. Or anything else! Assuming all the cores are male is boring.

to Mel writers: she's from the 1950s. How old is your grandmother? Chances are, Mel is as old or older than your grandmother. Think about the time period she's from and write her internal and external dialogue accordingly. Hell, ask your grandmother if you want.

to Virgil writers: if you follow the 'Virgil is the first/an old core' headcanon, then he has HEAPS of trauma. Remember that Aperture was canonically making robots even before GLaDOS was made. Think about how the humans would've treated him if he was around for humans to still exist in the facility.

to Nigel writers: I'm sick of the 'Nigel is a snitch' stereotype. In Aperture tag, he canonically breaks rules and rejects authority. He probably hates GLaDOS! Nigel does everything in his power to make subject 18's experience less painful, and is willing to break many, many rules for it. He's also ADHD-coded. Technically so is Wheatley, but Wheatley is coded with extremely low emotional intelligence while Nigel has slightly above average emotional intelligence.

to Wheatley writers: his idiocy is not low objective intelligence. He does know and understand things, and is smarter than some people spatially. But he has extremely low intelligence in other aspects. He's unable to plan ahead, but is very capable at coming up with ideas and solutions on the fly. He exists in the now, not in the future.

to GLaDOS writers: (courtesy of my friend @ask-glados) she's not mean for the sake of being mean. She holds grudges, but she's not as mean to everyone else as she is to Chell. Notice in Portal 2 how she completely ignores Wheatley until he becomes a problem. She's cold and calculating, and she should be written as such. (Unless she hates your main character in which case go for it)

to Chell writers: this one is more up for interpretation, but if you want to staunchly follow canon, the devs have said that she CAN talk, but she hates the robots so so much that she refuses to give them the satisfaction of responding to them. If you're not a canon nut, then go nuts. Pun intended.

tag me if you ever use any of this advice.

ao3: "just another day" rating: T warnings: anxremile, food, past sui attempt reference, dogs, everyone is non binary genre: fluff, a little bit of hurt/comfort description: It's Virgil's birthday. His partners celebrate it with him, but they can't help but think of another day to celebrate. (lyrics are from kode "who am i")

I always feel like I'm supposed to be someone anyone but me I live in this life where I try to find comfort doing what they seek I'm finding myself in this endless loop called what would they think I started caring less for the things I want and the things I need

"Happy birthday, Virgil!"

Virgil makes a muffled snort noise into their pillow, their eyes still stubbornly closed.

"Mmph," he complains. He feels Emile's hand descend into his hair, scritching at his scalp gently, and he relaxes into a compliant puddle on the bed. "Mmm," Virgil says, eyes half-closed in happiness.

"You melted them," Remy comments from the side. Virgil feels the bed dip as Remy crawls into the bed with them. Remy flops across Virgil's lower back, making Virgil huff in mock displeasure.

"Be nice," Emile admonishes, although Virgil can hear the smile in their voice. "It's Virgil's birthday."

"I know that," Remy exclaims. Virgil squints over his shoulder to see Remy dramatically splay a hand across his forehead. "I would never dream of trying to spoil Virge's birthday, babe."

"Uh huh," Emile deadpans. "Anyway, Virgil, it's your day, sweetheart. What do you want to do?"

"Dunno," Virgil mumbles. "Can I stay in bed all day and cuddle?" He can practically feel the other two exchange a look.

"I mean, yes," Emile says slowly. "But are you sure that's all you want to do?"

"I don't know," Virgil admits. "I just-" He sighs. His birthday has always been a clusterfuck of complicated feelings thanks to family bullshit, and he knows what's coming up next month isn't making it any easier.

It's been nearly two years since his last suicide attempt.

"I know, love," Emile says, soothing, pressing a kiss to the back of Virgil's fluffy purple hair. "I know."

"So proud of you, babe," Remy murmurs, rubbing warm circles into Virgil's back and slowly relaxing them again. "So glad we know you. So glad I know you."

"Love you," Virgil says, drowsy and so full of affection, it feels like his heart might burst already. "Can we go to the sweets shop?" He asks suddenly. "I just- you know how I feel about sweet things-"

"It is your birthday," Emile agrees, planting another kiss on the side of Virgil's head as they get up. Virgil mourns the loss of their warmth. "Of course we can."

"Oh no," Remy laughs as he stands up. "The two of you, plotting to get sweet things? Your teeth are fucked."

"Good," Virgil says defiantly, rolling over and blinking at the light. "It's my birthday. Sugar doesn't count."

"I don't think that's how it works," Emile says, but their lips are twitching like they want to laugh.

"You're a therapist, not a medical doctor," Virgil points out. "Or a dentist. Sugar is good for both of us."

"Well, can't argue with that," Emile says, extending a hand. "Come on, darling. Out of bed."

"Fine," Virgil says, accepting Emile's hand and letting Emile carefully pull them upright. The room spins for a moment anyway, but quickly stabilizes. Virgil grins at both Emile and Remy, running his free hand through unruly purple hair.

"Wanna wear your pretty skirt?" Remy asks, his eyes a little too bright.

"Which one?" Virgil asks primly, but they know which one Remy means. It is purple and black plaid, and it swishes around Virgil's knees. It comes with a belt, and Virgil loves it.

"The pretty one," Remy insists. "You could wear that pretty purple top with it?" He wheedles. "And- and fishnets, and-"

"Am I a dress up doll?" Virgil asks, amused. Red stains Remy's cheeks.

"Yes," he says, doubling down. "My pretty dress up doll. Pretty girl. Pretty boy." Virgil's face flushes at the praise.

"Oh, fine," he says. Remy grins, whirling to rummage through the closet.

"Are you picking my outfit out, too, or are we just focused on the birthday girl today?" Emile asks, clearly amused.

"Birthday boy!" Remy shouts back. "Wear something pretty, sweetheart."

By the time they're all dressed, Virgil is in the aforementioned purple outfit, and Emile had picked something with pink flowers. Remy's just in his usual jeans and a tee shirt, but his leather jacket and sunglasses are omnipresent.

"Beautiful," Remy claims, his mouth descending on Virgil's. It is sweet and short and perfect, Virgil thinks dizzily as his hands brace himself against Remy's shoulders. Remy is nearly a foot taller than him, but he doesn't care.

Emile's next, bending their head and pressing a kiss to Virgil's mouth. Virgil flings their arms around Emile's neck, pulling them closer and making Emile laugh against their lips.

"Sweet shop," Emile says. "Birthday girl gets to play music on the way."

"Yes!" Virgil cheers as they make their way out to the car. "Sorry, Remy," he sasses, slipping into the passenger seat in the front. He does pull the seat up to accommodate Remy's long legs, though, mindful of his comfort as Remy slouches in the back seat.

They chat about everything and nothing on the way, accompanied by Virgil's emo playlist, low in the background. While Emile finds a parking space, Virgil looks around, hands unconsciously flapping in their lap. There's no snow, but it is chilly outside, and Virgil's glad that he chose to wear his hoodie over his outfit.

"This way," Emile says, tugging Remy and Virgil toward the sweets shop. Eagerly, Virgil follows. There is a dog in line, a soft brown one with soulful eyes and a gently wagging tail.

"Can I pet them?" Virgil asks shyly. The owner, a person wearing pink-framed glasses on a chain, nods, twining the leash around their hand. They have a Sanrio backpack in the shape of Cinnamoroll's head, and Virgil thinks it's adorable.

Emile fawns over the dog, a bright smile lighting up their features. Remy stands back a little, but he also deigns to pet the dog. Virgil's hand sinks into the soft fur, and they hum happily.

"Their name is Honey," the owner informs them.

"I love them," Emile declares. Virgil giggles.

"Oops, my turn," the dog's owner says, their face turning red. It's their turn next. They all order an iced vanilla latte, Virgil opting to have his with almond milk. His eyes scan the sweet options on display, finally settling on a chocolate eclair. Emile gets a cannoli and Remy opts for a type of danish. They sit near Honey the dog, and Virgil catches Emile surreptitiously petting and mooning over her three separate times before their order is ready.

"Happy birthday, darling," Remy murmurs into their ear as he sets their drink and eclair down in front of them. Virgil blushes out to his ears.

"Thank you," Virgil says. He eyes Emile. "You can't steal the dog," he mutters.

"Okay but listen, we need a dog," Emile says, widening their eyes to look more innocent. "Look at how fluffy she is. She's adorable. Perfect. Mine." Honey's owner snorts into their drink and Virgil laughs.

"I don't think her owner agrees with you," Virgil points out, and Emile grins, a mischievous look in brown eyes.

"Anyway," Emile says loftily, finally turning away from the fluffy charms of Honey the dog and applying themself to their cannoli. "What else do you want to do today, love?"

"Spend time with you both," Virgil answers, nibbling on their eclair. "I just- It's nice. I like spending time with you."

"Same, darling," Remy says, leaning on Virgil's shoulder and poking them with his chin.

"You're both so sweet," Virgil says, a little bit dreamy.

"Never," Remy denies, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"I am," Emile says plainly, and Virgil grins at them.

"I'm glad I'm still alive," Virgil says, sudden, as the thought strikes them. Remy's and Emile's faces both soften.

"So are we, darling," Remy says. Emile lifts Virgil's hand and presses a kiss to his knuckles. "So are we."

For @thunder-pride non-binary day, I have a quick fic for you all. It didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted but it’s getting late so I figured I’d post it anyway.

AO3 link

Brains knew many things. Most things, even – at least in comparison with the average person. Fix almost any mechanical object under the sun? Sure. Recite every element of the Periodic Table and their respective mass numbers? Not a problem. Design and construct a fleet of the most advanced rescue crafts known to mankind? It had taken a little while but the Thunderbirds were also a success.

So, taking all of this into consideration, it seemed baffling that Brains had no idea how to start a conversation. Or to be precise, this specific conversation because it wasn’t exactly an everyday discussion. It was a sort of monumental, heavy talk which could tip the scales of the future in either direction.

In other words – or, you know, a lack of words given that was the problem at hand – it was monumentally terrifying which was not a phrase thrown around lightly. A lot of things were scary, but this? This was on an entirely new level.

The villa was mostly empty. Grandma was visiting friends on the mainland and Alan was fighting aliens on a video game again. Gordon and Scott were halfway across the world on a rescue in Denmark, leaving Virgil as the only other person present. It was plausible that Brains had planned to arrive in the kitchen around now for precisely that reason.

It was a light, balmy evening without so much as a hint of rain in the air. A gentle breeze rustled the palm fronds while the nightly symphony of insect song grew a little louder by the minute. Sun rays swept across the ocean to invite themselves through the sliding doors, transforming the kitchen into a pool of glowing gold. All of it should have established a sense of calm and yet.

“Hey,” Virgil called across, spying Brains lurking awkwardly partway between the conversation pit and the hallway. He lifted the saucepan of whatever he was cooking. “Are you hungry? I’ve accidentally made enough for… I don’t even know. Four? Five? Too much for me to eat by myself, anyway.”

Brains went to speak, faltered, and instead slid wordlessly onto a bar stool. For a few moments, they remained in a tranquil silence. It was so quiet that the distant waves against the beach were audible. From somewhere within the conversation pit, MAX let out a tiny trill which was probably meant to be reassuring but could also have been a suggestion that maybe notecards for this conversation would have been a good idea after all.

“Long day?”

Brains nearly startled out of the seat. “S-sorry?”

Virgil looked fondly bemused. “I was just asking if you’ve had a long day? You seem more…” He twirled a hand vaguely; a sixteen-hour rescue tended to steal a guy’s vocab. “…in your own head than usual. Anything exciting or are you tired?”

“Is both an option?”

“Both seems most likely, so yes.” Virgil returned his attention to the saucepan. Tiredness stamped his features and had taken root in his shoulders yet his voice remained soft as he ventured, “Are you alright?”

Brains paused. There came another encouraging warble from MAX’s direction.

“Actually, there’s s-something I’ve been meaning to, uh, t-talk to you about.”

This was fine. Absolutely. There was nothing to be afraid of. It was just like ripping off a band-aid – momentary pain but future relief.

“Do you think… m-maybe…” It made no sense to be so scared. This was Virgil. And yet Brains couldn’t stop the soul-consuming sense of utter terror. “Could you refer to me as they/them?”

Virgil didn’t hesitate, just carried on as if it were an ordinary conversation on any other day.

“Yeah, of course.”

Brains paused. “Really?”

“Why wouldn’t I…?” Virgil spun around to face them with pure heartbreak in his eyes. “Wait, Brains, did you think…? I am so sorry if I ever gave you the impression that I wouldn’t accept you. God, I- I’m sorry. You’re family. I love- I mean, we love you.”

“Oh.” Brains coughed. “I… I feel the same way.” Then, in a rush, “Thank you.”

Virgil reached across the counter to place a hand on their shoulder. “You don’t need to thank me. If anything, I should be the one saying thanks. Thank you for trusting me. Does anyone else know?”

“Just you.”

Virgil shoved the saucepan off the hotplate and abandoned his cooking attempts altogether. He had on that same soft smile usually reserved for moments when he didn’t think anyone was looking at him. He rounded the island and hesitated, hands hovering at his sides uncertainly.

“Can I give you a hug? Is that okay?”

“I…” Brains willed their voice to remain steady. There was a wave of emotion slowly creeping up their throat and a suspicious burning behind their eyes. “Y-yes.”

Virgil swept them into a proper bear hug. He was the only person allowed such close contact. Touch just wasn’t Brains’ usual way of expressing care. Technically Scott had hugged them in the past too, but that had been exceptional circumstances, and Alan just couldn’t be stopped nor deterred. But Virgil? He gave good hugs. So, Brains let themself relax into the hold until the overwhelming depth of feeling in their chest unravelled into something more bearable.

“They/them, huh?” Virgil murmured, a distinct note of pride in his voice. “Congrats. That’s a really big thing to figure out. I’m happy for you.”

MAX’s trill seemed sort of smug, as if to say I told you so.

Brains finally extracted themself from the hug. “Thank you. For n-not making it a big deal.”

Virgil seemed to wrestle with the instinct to say something more, then forced himself to return to the cooking. “You know, you still haven’t given me an answer. Do you want any of this?”

“Oh, r-right. Yes.”

And just like that, the words were out there. The world was still spinning without any physical changes, but somehow everything felt lighter.

If the list isn't too long I'd like to know more about the unseelie Princes! They only showed up like once and have only been briefly mentioned 😭 I crave unseelie content

The long awaited answer :D

Okay, you didn't specify if you wanted technical information about the unseelie princes or personal information so I'm giving you both. Let's dive in!

There are currently one hundred seventeen royals in the unseelie royal family. Of those twenty-eight are princes/princesses. (Note: there are non-binary royalty. In fae there are separate titles for them but in many human languages there aren't so they just pick one of the available titles to go by when speaking human languages because they got tired of fighting with humans about it. They absolutely use this as an example of why humans are inferior to them.) Both the children and grandchildren of the king are considered princes or princesses. King Objectivity has eleven children and seventeen grandchildren. That makes a total of twenty-eight princes and princesses.

This isn't actually a lot of children when you consider how long the king and his children have been alive. There used to be more, but unseelie politics are even more cutthroat than seelie politics and it isn't uncommon for royals to kill each other in order to rise in the ranks. Actually, seelie used to do that too but not nearly as frequently as the unseelie do it.

The princes, princesses, and non-binary royalty in order of claim to the throne:

Crown Prince Valiance (he/him, winter)

Princess Inquisitive (she/her, autumn)

Prince Despair (he/him, winter)

Princess Apathy (she/her, winter)

Prince Horror (he/him, winter)

Prince Pride (he/him, autumn)

Prince Judgment (he/him, autumn)

Prince Criticism (he/him, autumn)

Princess Indifference (she/he non-binary, winter)

Princess Ambition (she/her, autumn)

Princess Serene (she/her, winter)

Princess Ingenuity (she/her, winter)

Prince Patience (he/she/they genderfluid, winter)

Princess Intelligence (she/her, autumn)

Prince Humility (he/him, autumn)

Princess Responsibility (she/her, winter)

Princess Control (she/her, winter)

Prince Manipulation (he/him, autumn)

Princess Tranquil (they/them, winter)

Prince Cold Heart (he/him, winter)

Prince Stability (he/him, winter)

Princess Wisdom (they/them, winter)

Prince Observant (he/him, autumn)

Prince Realism (he/she/they genderfluid, winter)

Prince Modesty (he/him, autumn)

Prince Cruelty (he/him, autumn)

Princess Grief (she/her, autumn)

Prince Disgust (he/him, autumn)

And here is the family tree I made when planning out the unseelie royal family. Bonus points if you can make sense of it. Don't mind the change in color partway through, my marker ran out of ink.

The royals are encouraged to produce heirs so that the unseelie royal family can keep up with the seelie royal family power-wise which is quite a feat considering their competing with King Rainbow and his offspring. King Objectivity has become more strict about royals killing each other to try and preserve as much power as they can. The real challenge is finding consorts.

Unseelie - especially winters - have a harder time falling in love than seelie, but most of the royals aren't looking for love. They're looking for someone suited for ruling who they can tolerate long-term and trust to conceive and raise children with. The trust is the hard part in a place like the unseelie faerie hill. Luckily, they have a long time to find someone. And the ruling part doesn't always apply, often times they don't marry their mates but simply offer them a better life in exchange for making and helping to raise the children. Marriage is, after all, a big deal for fae. Forever is a long time when you're immortal.

The princes who made a brief appearance in Fear Transcends Language were Prince Pride and Prince Ambition. Less than ideal royals for Janus and Virgil to run into. The seelie have a very strained and rather spotty peace agreement with the unseelie which, for the most part, the unseelie honor. If Janus and Virgil had been captured by King Objectivity or someone who sticks to his teachings like, say, Grand Prince Valiance, the seelie royal family would have been in a bad position, but Janus would have been significantly less screwed.

Prince Pride and Prince Ambition would have done things their own way instead of handing Janus and Virgil over to their father which would have ended very, very badly for everyone involved. Pride and Ambition are particularly unflattering examples of unseelie.

When it comes to personal information about the princes there's only one prince I've thought about much and that's Grand Prince Valiance. Oh boy, do I have a lot to say about Grand Prince Valiance. More under the cut because this is getting long.

Grand Prince Valiance is old. So old he remembers what things were like before King Thomas unexpectedly came into power and how in doing so he drastically changed the seelie kingdom and the relations between the two kingdoms. In his opinion, things are better this way.

Valiance was not grand prince at the time. He had four older siblings who killed each other for the title of grand prince. Valiance killed his final older sibling as well, though he didn't lower himself to assassination. He went about it honorably, challenging his brother for his title the traditional way: a battle to the death. Valiance stated his brother to be unsuited for the title of grand prince believing his philosophies and ways of doing things to be outdated with no place in this new world. He knew his brother had become a liability who was damaging the kingdom's foreign relations. He removed the problem.

Valiance, like his father, believes that both seelie and unseelie must exist in order to maintain balance. Now, there are still disputes about territories and other incidents where blood is spilled, but there always has been and always will be. The good terms the two kingdoms are on is a new development, one that the king and grand prince wish to maintain.

Valiance ruled as grand prince for centuries before King Thomas announced the creation of his first two children. When he did, King Objectivity summoned all of the princes and princesses for a dinner meeting.

At the meeting the king informed his children and grandchildren that any of King Thomas's children would likely end up even more powerful than their unseelie counterparts, possibly from a young age. Yes, this included even Valiance whom he had told beforehand. These twins would someday be more powerful despite being significantly younger than him. This news was met with great upset.

King Objectivity told the princes and princesses that they had until the end of dinner to have their emotional reactions and discuss this with each other. After dinner, he never wanted to hear a single complaint about any of this again. This was unusually generous of the unseelie king who normally would not tolerate any 'childish' emotional outbursts from his descendants. The king was experiencing a rare spark of empathy, for he, too, did not handle it well when King Thomas - who is far younger than him and previously much lower ranking - became more powerful than him.

Valiance wasn't happy that these kids could overpower him someday, but he pushed those feelings aside and eventually came to terms with them. Besides, they all knew they had plenty of time before the seelie princes grew up. Then, Roman and Remus started getting older and Roman met Remy. After that, all of the seelie princes started aging much faster and suddenly they were out of time.

Even so, Valiance couldn't be too upset. He respected Roman for claiming a human-drider. Being willing to love an unseelie monster hybrid really said a lot about the kid and it said even more about King Thomas who allowed it to happen.

Roman grew up and now Valiance is almost sort-of kind-of friends with him. Almost, because how could a seelie and unseelie prince be friends? What would Valliance's family say? No, not friends. They're on cordial terms. That's all.

Still, when they have parleys it's clear Roman likes Valiance more than other unseelie royalty (excluding the king, because one never makes known that they have anything less than the utmost respect for the king) just by looking at the impromptu meeting areas he creates for them wherever the incidents occur.

For other unseelie royalty, the table is long to put distance between them. Roman's chair is grander than the other's which is just the slightest bit uncomfortable (more noticeable the longer you sit in it). He brings out his twentieth to fiftieth nicest whiskey (nice enough for royalty while still not being the nicest he could provide). Their pens and papers are standard.

For Grand Prince Valiance everything is of nicer quality. The table is shorter to make for easy conversation. The chairs are equally grand and comfortable to sit in and match each of their color schemes. Roman brings out his fourth to fifteenth finest whisky (his three finest are reserved for friends, family, and very special occassions) the quality of which depends on the situation and how he feels about Valiance in the moment. He provides pens with the tip he knows Valiance likes and more ornate paper.

Valiance and Fanciful Creativity (Roman) use each other's monikers with no titles when addressing each other directly. They don't try to trap each other with words or the laws of hospitality. They don't play bullshit faerie games where they mess with each other's heads.

(It's a big difference from how Roman treaters Valiance's great niece, Monger, whom he simply can not stand.)

They're not completely forthcoming, though. They still adhere to the laws of hospitality even if they know the other won't try to trap them. They're still, in some ways, enemies at the end of the day and therefore keep a certain amount of distance between them both literally and figuratively.

Roman may never admit that he secretly reserves his fourth and fifth finest whiskeys for people he wants to be friends with.

(note: whiskey is a human drink that Roman is fond of. Remy introduced him to it)
