Hello, Ozzy. I hope you are doing well and doing magic, as usual.
I have a perhaps a little silly request. Would you write some head canons of the M4 reacting to a MC who just told them (seriously) they are beautiful?
I don't know if you find the subject suitable, but anyway thank you. Love your writings.🌸
I still have several of your asks in my drafts I'm so sorry aofeiuhferpofhuearoifj
GN!Reader, short and sweet, I think this post also more or less fits the criteria aside from it doesn't include Rime
Felix Escellun
Felix has been studying all day. You're not entirely sure what for - something about a spell for harnessing the power of emotions? You're 77% sure that he's trying to find a way to prank Escell - but he's hyperfixating hard. You try to make sure he takes breaks but he's hesitant to pull himself away from his desk unless it's to get a tome from the bookshelf.
So you carry on without him. Do your studying on the floor, practice your spells in the hallway, feed Stella in the kitchen, that sort of thing. You even managed to squeeze in a nap on the couch.
Sometimes you look over to see what he's doing. Different emotions seem to lead to different colored magic. Happy is yellow, sad is blue, angry is red, love is pink, so on and so on. But from what you can tell, this is all only in theory. He hasn't gotten it to work in practice just yet.
Now the moon is high in the sky and you wanna go to bed. But it won't be easy to pull Felix away from his work.
You go over. Squat down beside him and lean your elbows on the desk so you can see his face.
He looks tired. He is tired. He's been at his desk for the last, what, 14 hours? Give or take. That's just how he gets when he's really invested in something. It's admirable that he can have that much dedication, but it's also,, not,,, healthy to be staying up like that. And from the way his brows are furrowed, he's clearly determined to push through the exhaustion.
While he never pulls his eyes away from the paper, he fluffs the tip of his quill against your nose.
"I know what you're about to say. I'll be along just as soon as I can. I know I saw a formula somewhere in this infernal book, and I will find it!"
"Wouldn't it be easier to find it if you were more awake? You look like you're about to drop."
"I most... certainly..." - he pauses to yawn, half-heartedly covering his mouth. His glasses slide down the tip of his nose, and he rubs his eyes before pushing them back into place - "am not falling asleep."
His hair is hanging loose around his head. It really is getting long. You tuck a single soft strand back behind his ear. You can see his eyes starting to close before he jolts himself back awake. So you lean closer and kiss his cheek.
"Alright, alright. You know yourself better than I do. I just think it'd be good to get some beauty sleep - but you're already so beautiful, I guess you don't need it."
..... *strangled noise of mortification*
A light yellow ball of energy - streaked with pink - sparks at his fingertips, surprising both of you.
........ :)
His silver eyes widen as the sudden breakthrough wakes him up. He's positively beaming in excitement as he grabs his quill again, frantically scribbling notes.
"MC, you're absolutely brilliant!"
"I didn't do anything?"
Felix turns deftly in his seat and puts his hands on your shoulders. The bags under his eyes are deep and dark and stubborn, but at least he doesn't seem like he's about to faceplant anymore. He does seem surprisingly open though.
"You were honest. That's more than enough."
"Then I honestly think you should go to bed and get back to this in the morning."
"... Five minutes?"
You get up to your feet, kiss his cheek again in goodnight, and head over to your shared room to get some sleep. It'll be an hour at least before he finally gives in to sleepiness, but at least he's happy.
Meanwhile he spends the next ten minutes burying his face in his arms because he's so flustered that he seriously had that strong of a reaction to being complimented like that.
Anisa Anka
Sometimes you like to watch Anisa train.
Actually you always like to watch her train, but usually visitors aren't allowed on the training grounds or you're busy with Felix and Sage or Saaros.
But anyways today is a day you get to hang out with your amazing super strong girlfriend! Yay!
So you're sitting off to the side. Drinking water does not help your thirst™
Anisa,,, in her armor,,,, swinging her sword around,,,,, flipping her opponents over her shoulder,,,,, she's so strong,,,,,,,,,, hehehehe
Oh I'm so gay for her
It doesn't take too much longer for her to finish up. After she gives her troops a few more rousing words and officially takes them off-duty, she comes over to you. Her cheeks are a little flushed, but you can't tell if that's from over-exertion or embarrassment at how adoringly you're staring at her.
"I hope I gave you a good show."
There's a teasing lilt in her voice and a grin on her lips. You hold one hand out, doing the little grabby-grab motion until she sets her hand in yours. You gently brush your lips along her knuckles, all the while looking up at her.
"You certainly did, Beautiful."
...... *hair poof*
Her eyes search your face to see if you're joking. You're not. So she looks away, clearing her throat like she's trying to keep any semblance of professionalism about her that she can.
"Not at work."
Her protest doesn't sound very genuine, though.
You laugh and finally get up from your seat, looping your arms around her waist and tugging her close. She smells like roses. You nuzzle into her neck, kissing the bottom of her chin.
"I thought you were off-duty?"
She opens her mouth but all that comes out is a little sigh as she holds you tight.
"You're incorrigible."
"Well thank you very much."
Sage Lesath
Sage is still wearing his eyepatch. Even when it's just the two of you.
No matter how much you reassure him, he's self-conscious about it. You can't exactly blame him. Not when you know the two things he associates with it; getting mutilated by the Corrupted in the sewers (he says what upsets him most about that is the fact he couldn't protect you, but you're pretty damn sure that's not the reason he wakes up gasping and clutching his body in pain some nights - he went through something horrible and traumatic and he doesn't want to admit it. You're always there for him, though, and that helps) and being corrupted.
So. Eyepatch.
He'll take it off if you ask nicely enough, but even then his hair usually curtains the eye. Or he looks away from you. Or he just keeps it closed.
The rebuild of Porrima is slow-going. People are hesitant to stay in the open for too long. Always anxious to go into the crumbling remains of buildings for fear of finding familiar faces that never got to see the sun one more time.
It happens more often than anyone wants to think about.
Luckily, the castle itself wasn't damaged (of course Mike took good care of it, he needed it for dramatic flair), so the survivors have been able to use it as their base of operation. It gives them access to a medical wing, plenty of supplies, and a safe space to breathe (once Felix and Rime and other surviving mages have purged the last of the corruption out of the building).
Sage never really liked the castle though. It was always too fancy, full of nobility that judged him and rules of etiquette he didn't see the need for. So he prefers to stay in Fathom.
(So does Tulsi, although you think she mostly just wants to stay close so he doesn't vanish again)
The familiarity is helpful. Once Sage has scent-marked everything in the room, he's more willing to sit still and relax.
Meaning you have an easier time convincing him that you wanna see his eye.
It's one of those types of nights. Sage is curled up beside you, arm thrown over your waist and cheek mushed into your shoulder. You're combing your fingers through his hair, carefully scratching behind his ears. You're talking softly about nothing of real importance. Just,,, being together. That's all.
"Hey. Sage."
"Mm?"
"Can I see it?"
In the old days, he would have grinned and stroked his tail up your thigh and brushed his fangs along your collarbone and asked you what, specifically, you wanna see.
Now he just pouts a little.
"Why?"
You lean down and kiss the top of his head, just slightly favoring his left ear in the spot he likes the most. While you keep your tone casual, your words are genuine and clear.
"Because you're beautiful, and seeing you makes me happy."
........ he presses his face further into the crook of your neck. There's a whine in his words, but it's decidedly more light-hearted than anything.
"You... You always manage to surprise me, y'know."
He slowly shifts off of you, ignoring your self-satisfied grin in favor of carefully undoing the strip of fabric. He spends much longer than necessary foucing on it, winding it up around his fingers neatly. It's fraying pretty badly. He should probably replace it soon. Maybe with a proper patch this time?
Then he buries his face in your chest and shyly peeks up at you, gauging your reaction. His hair covers his eye.
You carefully brush the strands away so you can get a good look. Smile. Smooch his forehead.
"Pretty Kitty."
His content purr vibrates your chest.
Rime Varela
Rime doesn't sleep much.
He says it has something to do with dying, or maybe it was the way Felix wrenched him back. All he really needs is an hour or two a night. Maybe three if he's been doing a lot of intense magic.
So what does he do while everyone else is asleep?
Sometimes it's studying. Other times it's practicing what he's studying.
And then other times it's a very rigorous skincare routine.
It's four in the morning when you're woken up by ice creeping up your spine. A glance over your shoulder shows it's Rime crawling into bed behind you, hugging you against his chest and resting his chin on your shoulder.
"You've been busy."
You can hear the smile in his voice.
"All this doesn't come naturally, darling."
You twist around to face him, cupping his cheeks in your palms and using the tips of your fingers to gently pin his ears back against his hair.
"Well, I've always said you're drop dead gorgeous."
....
He tries to glare at you. But you're smiling like you just told the best joke in the universe - even though you make that joke at least once a week - and he can't help but laugh.
"I'm serious!" You protest, but you're laughing too. You drop your hands but he picks them back up and nuzzles his cheeks into your palms.
"You're always serious."
You sweep your thumb along the swath of freckles that bridge his nose.
"You're always beautiful," you reply with a casual shrug.
His nose twitches and his ears flick once before relaxing.
"... Dork."

for @phosphi — rime, dialogue 7, scenario 10, gn!reader "did you just say you love me?", person a confesses their feelings not knowing that person b is awake
note from nia: rime content rime content!! this was a good one. THIS WAS A GOOD ONE. my execution aside the idea was Muah. implied that rime was in a relationship a long time ago—felix or not it’s up to u. also hello hello hello!!!! u r Awesome and it's good 2 see u omg MUAH!
rime can’t sleep. not when he can count the cars passing the apartment, when he can hear the leaves rustling outside, when you’re lying beside him in bed.
“thank god you’re asleep,” he mutters. “you’re a pain in my ass, you know?”
evidently, he didn’t know you were facing the same problem, just as awake as him. his comment is almost enough to make you retort, but you hear him sigh and wait instead. his voice is quiet enough that were you actually asleep, he wouldn't have woken you up. “i’m not supposed to get…why do you keep getting me soft again? do you know how long it’s been for me?”
“do you know what you did when you told me you did all the chores and got my favourite for dinner? i—” he breaths out an incredulous laugh, turning onto his back to stare at the ceiling. his eyes flicker from the fan to every speck he could see with the limited moonlight. “my heart can’t handle this. which sounds fucking stupid, but i think if you do anything else i’m going to have to kick you out before i die in my own apartment.”
“and…” rime trails off, collecting his thoughts to make a coherent sentence, though he didn’t think his current audience would care very much. “and when you showed me that quote that said…‘when i watch you sleep, i feel overwhelmed that you exist,’ i thought it didn’t make sense. was just another unrealistic love quote that got you all whiny.” 
he turns over to face you again, and you can almost feel his gaze tracing your features. there’s a slight strain in his voice when he speaks—as if he’s just coming to terms with something he had been pushing away for too long. “yet here i am. overwhelmed by you.”
the sound of traffic outside fills the beats of silence that follow. “but maybe i’m always overwhelmed. have been for god knows how long.” rime’s quiet for a second before he groans and rubs his face with his hands, muttering against his palms, “this is stupid.”
and he’s glad your eyes are closed when he looks at you again. because he’s sure you’d have something to say about the soft expression on his face that he knows he has when he confesses. “goodnight. i love you.”
you had stayed silent the whole time, ready to sleep without replying to give him some peace of mind. it was the least you could do. but it’s an almost immediate reaction when your eyes open and meet his. “...did you just say you love me?”
his eyes widen, and there's a tension in the air before he answers. “were you awake this whole time?” rime searches your face and feels his own lose its colour as he watches your smile grow. “god—”
“you love me, you wanna be with me forever—” he groans at your sing-song voice, and grabs the pillow next to him. and maybe you’re a fool for thinking he was going to cover his face instead of preparing to block the hit against you. “hey!”
you laugh when he pulls his arm back, dramatically staring with your mouth open, hand over your chest. “how dare you.”
his lip twitches—just a little—before he frowns at you. “don’t even try. go to sleep or i’m taking you to the couch.” there’s no room for protest when he flips his back toward you and pulls the blanket back over him. it's quiet again—there's a comfort to it, even with the lingering confession and unhad conversation.
you stare at the way his back moves with every breath and smile. rime feels you shuffling nearer and tenses. you slowly wrap your arms around his torso from behind. he doesn’t stop you, nor say anything, but you do.
you wonder if your words will be a reassurance or what gets you kicked out in the morning. but you whisper them anyway. “i love you, too, rime.”
and when you let go, a quiet “goodnight” before going back to your side of the bed, rime thinks maybe, just maybe, he has a heart big enough to try again. maybe if it’s with you.

Last Legacy: Rime Varela (Fictif Games)
❕: implied enemies to lovers trope, Rime's POV, spoilers for Rime's character in Felix's route? i think... a sprinkle of angst too maybe idk but here's the warning, unedited
nyxelenios: to my dear mutuals, it is i, Cain!! i was rosemoonchai before so if you see this, hi! i just rebranded lmao also here have a bit of Rime content for the meantime shdksjf take care!! (it's almost 4 am and i haven't slept yet ahaha... help)
I hate that I love you.
What I hate more is the fact that I hate that I love you.
You were my replacement, a different better version of who I once was. You took my life and made it yours. You stole my second chance to live how I once lived.
I became what I despised, it was the only way to live after my identity had been ripped from my hands by some alien replacement.
But... But after I met you, you were not me. You never had been me.
You set your self aside and made yourself a name, while you stood next to my empty spot and wondered when I would arrive and live again for the people I once lived for.
You waited with them for me, prepared for the possibility that you may be tossed away like I once had been. But you waited.
You held nothing against me, unlike I had. Despite all the evils I let befall upon you, you still looked at me with hope and care. You looked at me that way so many times it makes me wonder what you see in me.
You...
I hate that I love you.

On a scale from king/queen of the party to shy awkward wallflower, where would you personally place a good match for each of the M4 of Last Legacy when it comes to a partner? Or what kind of traits do you think, a suitable partner might need?
{HELLO sorry I never responded to your requests I kinda completely gave up on LL BUT I was trying to find something and saw this was already fully written and it was a shame to leave it rotting here}
ooo that's a fun q thank you!! I hope I understood it right!!
m.list
Felix
Felix himself has always been a wallflower at parties. Sure, as a toddler, he'd eat up the praises of nobles as his fathers showed off the gifted kid they were so proud of, but he tired out quickly so Florian would rush him to bed before little Fe got too cranky and his magic started going haywire.
He still doesn't enjoy the balls—the nobility's massive egos far too stifling, only rivaled by the clothes his father made him wear.
Even in a modern setting, he wouldn't enjoy parties that are too loud and crowded. Felix might just hide in the kitchen to read a book or find the host's cat, only emerging from the shadows when it's time for truth or dare (he always picks dare, and it's beginning to get scary for others because there's almost nothing he'd say no to).
Felix finds himself more drawn to other wallflowers; even if you don't talk, you can at least look at each other with understanding before moving on.
It's great to have a partner who understands when Felix needs out. Hell, he might actually enjoy the party better with an introverted/awkward partner—it's the perfect excuse to grill any stuck-up nobles if they so much as dare to tease you if you stumble over your words or forget the nobility's strict codes of etiquette; only Felix gets to tease you (as long as you can take it), and only because he finds you cute.
Then you can both grab a snack or a drink and quietly slip out of the crowded ballroom to tour the gardens together. If the music is loud enough that you can still hear it faintly outside, he might just ask you for a dance amongst the roses with the moon as your lone witness.
"How un-noble of you, Felix!" you would tease when Felix leads you off the paved path and towards the arching willow where you'll be perfectly hidden from any other stragglers, then Felix would laugh softly before he presses you against the tree and kisses you until you're ready to be portalled into bed (for sleep or for other purposes, none of my business).
However, I wouldn't say Felix can't appreciate a life-of-the-party partner! After all, it is only a matter of time before an extrovert comes to claim their introvert, thus maintaining balance in this world.
Your joy might even become so contagious that Felix can't help but join, especially if it's too unorthodox for the nobility, leaving a string of offended gasps and/or disapproving scowls behind you—it's all the more reason to love you. You can swing and sway all over the ballroom and cause all sorts of mischief and pranks together, as long as you can respect when he needs to just go home.
Anisa
Attending balls is a minor part of her job, whether she's escorting a VIP or standing guard. From a work perspective, a more extroverted partner might be more convenient for making connections and entertaining guests. Anisa, however, doesn't really have a preference.
An extroverted partner is fun in the way that, when Anisa is standing stiffly in the ballroom by the buffet or the grand staircase, trying to keep up appearances (or even in a modern setting, fussing after everyone in the party), you can help her slowly but surely relax and break out of her shell.
Once Anisa picks up the vibe, she does a 180 and lets out the party animal (though this one's nowhere near as wild as Sage); you can see it in the way her movements are much more relaxed, how she throws her head back and laughs so loudly at the dumbest of jokes, and how she spares a dance for whoever asks—that is until she finds you amongst the crowds and pulls you in to dance the rest of the night away.
Just promise you won't let her overindulge in the wine or the punch (that Sage might've dabbled in) lest she starts acting too inappropriately on the job. You know she can't part too long from the buffet.
An introverted partner is great, too! Anisa won't force you into attending parties with her because it's work after all, but if you still want to come along, she'll take care of you throughout the event, continuously checking over you.
Oh, to have Anisa hold your hand and press a tender kiss to your knuckles as she softly asks, "Are you okay, love?"
I guess you would activate that loophole where it's like, she might not usually go out of her way to have fun at events, but seeing you wilting by the corner will push Anisa to encourage you to have some fun with her, as long as you're up for it; she'd love to pull you in for a dance, your hand held high in hers, and proudly show you off as her lover to everyone.
And if you don't want to dance, well, there's always the buffet! There are so many foods you can try, and Anisa can't wait to hand/spoonfeed them to you.
Sage
He's drawn to the life of the party like a moth to a flame. Sage might be quite the tease, but he still loves being kept on his toes; having someone who can match his pace might even help him burn out all that extra energy.
The loud, crammed taverns are where he thrives, and a partner who enjoys them too adds to the fun. He'll pull you for a dance once the bard picks up a jolly tune, sweeping you off your feet and hopping from table to table as people watch in awe how he swings you with such ease.
Hell, you could sweep him off his feet; he definitely won't complain.
That is not to say Sage would push away the wallflower! He'd try to pull you from where you cling to the wall—wouldn't you rather have fun than look so awfully glum?
Once you explain that you're not necessarily miserable, but the chaos of the dance floor just isn't your scene, he nods in understanding. With a wink and a swish of his tail, he asks you to keep your eyes on him as he blends in with the dancing crowds. You can join in whenever you wish, but until then, you're more than welcome to enjoy the view.
Your discomfort immediately triggers his protective streak, and he'll keep an arm up so people won't keep bumping into you as he escorts you out of the crowded tavern once you call it a night.
If you're attending a party at Fathom or whatever fancy palace for whatever fancy reason, Sage would gladly pull you away from the crowds and the noise to explore all the secret passages and chambers. Hey, you could even find an empty room or a closet for seven minutes of heaven ;)
Rime
Like Anisa, I don't think Rime has a preference. I'd say he might have been partial to a life-of-the-party sort of character—repressed choir boy craving an outlet that he is—but Rime did date Felix, who isn't particularly social. That is not to say that Felix and Rime didn't know how to have fun! I just think Felix's way of 'letting go' is more so through mischief and less through partying or socializing.
So in conclusion, Rime doesn't care how extroverted or introverted you are as long as you know how to have a good time.
If you'd known Rime before as the Starsworn Captain, you might've taken him for a reserved prude, but unlike Anisa, he doesn't really need you coaxing him into being more 'out-there'; he'll compete with you over it. Want to ask him for a dance? He's already eyeing you up and down, looking like he could almost eat you up.
Even on the dancefloor, he'd be looking for ways to fluster you.
Recall how if you choose to remain silent during the first confrontation in the Felix route, Rime would wonder why Felix would choose someone so boring over him? I think, if you're more of a wallflower, Rime might tease you a bit especially if he's interested in you but doesn't know you all that well—not to tear you down but it's his... unconventional way of trying to coax you into coming out of your shell.

Felix x Rime x MC Polycule Domestic Headcannons
Fandom: Last Legacy (Fictif/Nix Hydra/Dorian) Characters: Felix, Rime, Gender neutral MC Prompt: hcs ab how would domestic life be for Felix and Rime and MC polycule Requested by: @mossmosis Warnings: Brief stabbing mention (Rime is in this, so-)
Last Legacy content, in this day and age?! It's more likely than you think! I've gotten a bit distracted with other fandoms, but I've been meaning to return to my beloved Fictif fandoms. I suppose now's the time!
Also, thank the dice gods for bringing you this particular treat! I had motivation to write, but no idea what to do, so I rolled some dice and this was the result!
Requests are open, as always, so if you'd like to see more, send me an ask!
Tumblr media
For starters, there is no shortage of sarcasm and snarky commentary in this relationship. It's practically one of your love languages at this point! Rime and Felix are both prone to making smart remarks, and when they're both in the mood for banter, things can get mildly out of hand... you've had to calm Anisa down after she witnessed one such moment, assuring her that the two of them were not, in fact, in a terrible mood and taking it out on each other. You've come to enjoy their banter, regardless whether you join in or simply sit back and watch the show.
Both of them enjoy teasing you and each other, though there are some stylistic differences. Felix tends to be a little softer and kinder with his teasing - don't get me wrong, there's often a little bite behind his words, that cute little smirk and playful sparkle in his eyes that makes your heart flutter. He teases you about lighter subjects, and though he often speaks without thinking, he never means any harm by it.
Rime, on the other hand, doesn't hold back in the slightest. It's not that he means to hurt your feelings, he isn't doing it out of malice - he simply doesn't know when to back off sometimes. If you call him on it, he'll scoff and roll his eyes, likely making some little comment about you not being able to take a joke - but he won't tease you about that again, and he'll do something nice for you in the near future as an unspoken apology.
Speaking of gifts, both of them will absolutely shower you and each other with small gifts for absolutely no reason. Felix is prone to bringing something home for you both anytime he visits the market - it's very rare that he forgets, though sometimes he'll return empty-handed and visibly frustrated that he couldn't find anything suitable. He sometimes gifts you and Rime jewelry, and has surprisingly impeccable taste, always giving you something you'll love. Books are another of his frequent gifts, of course - you can expect any new books to go missing shortly afterwards as he borrows them to read them himself before quietly returning them a few days later. You've also received a few trinkets that match his gothic mage aesthetic, too, because it wouldn't be Felix if he didn't share his love of vaguely creepy things with you!
Rime tends to focus less on physical gifts and more on actions. He spends time with you both, learns about your interests, stabs your enemies, and does small things to help you out. He prefers to be a little more subtle with his affections, almost pretending like he doesn't care, when in reality he cares very much. It's not that he's hiding it, he just... isn't very open with his emotions yet. When he does bring you gifts, though, it's usually something pretty simple, like some random trinket he saw and thought of one or both of you. I could also see him taking up woodcarving as a hobby to help him relax and unwind, so you'll occasionally find a new gift from him sitting on your desk, carved from wood or, sometimes, from his shed antlers. He likes bringing you food, too, and memorizes both of your tastes and favorite treats so he can choose the best treats.
Getting all three of you in bed at the same time can be difficult, but when it is achieved, you have a delightful time cuddling with each other. On the somewhat rare occasion that you all turn in together, you take turns being the one in the middle unless one of you has had a particularly bad day and needs double the snuggles. Most of the time, though, whoever goes to bed first ends up in the middle, with the other two crawling in wherever there's space when they're finally tired enough to get some sleep.
Mornings are always interesting, too. You or Rime are always up first - it's almost never Felix. Whoever is up first starts making the coffee and/or tea, and you try to take turns making breakfast. Rime might complain if you miss your turn, but you know he doesn't really mean it. He won't admit it easily, but he actually enjoys cooking, especially for his partners. Once breakfast is ready and one of you drags Felix out of bed, you all sit down for a nice meal together. Depending on how busy you three are, sometimes breakfast is the only meal you can all have together, so you make the most of it!
When you do have time off from your busy schedules, you almost always spend it together. Most of the time you're in the study/library at Fathom, doing more casual research projects together or reading books in a comfortable silence. Sometimes, though, you go out to get some fresh air and a change of scenery! Wandering around Porriman markets is often a good way to spend an afternoon, sampling various treats and buying interesting things for one another.
Something else you three often do together is stargazing. Felix obviously loves it, especially when he gets to share it with his loves, and though Rime might comment that it's boring just to be a bit of a brat, once he gets comfortable he'll become far more relaxed. Often times these nights consist of you and Rime gazing quietly at the stars, listening contentedly to Felix's soft voice as he rambles on and on about them. He'll inevitably get a bit flustered when he realizes just how long he's been talking, but it's nothing a few kisses can't fix~
Honestly this entire relationship would just be so soft and so chaotic at the same time. You all love each other so much and care deeply for one another, but there's rarely a dull moment!

Hello! I really want to make a last legacy request, my LL OC is chubby/fat but I'm not real good to explain how the m4 would react to MC being self conscious/uncomfortable in their body.
(ignore the fact that I've had this in my inbox since literally Christmas--)
(by god I will pull myself out of my writing burnout if it's the last thing I ever do--)
Don't you worry my sweet anon, I got you covered
Content Warning: Mentions of negative body image, no specifics on what their body actually looks like
GN Reader, oof this may be really out of character but we're gonna do it anyways, some hurt and lot of comfort, the one thing all the LIs know how to do is give you love
Felix Iskandar Escellun
Felix isn't one for vanity, but he is one for the gothic aesthetic, so you bet he has one of those huge standing mirrors with the most ornate gold-leafed steel frame next to his wardrobe
It's one of the many gorgeous things in his room (not including him heheheheheheh) and it's something you find yourself staring at a lot
You normally do your best to not look at the actual mirror part, but today, your eyes seem drawn towards your body. You're not wearing anything revealing, your fashion style is more conservative by Earth's standards, but you focus a lot on the parts of your body you hate
Your own eyes feel like claws, rending bleeding wounds through your skin. Voices crawl into the back of your head. Ugly. Disgusting. Unlovable. They're hard to block out
You wrap your arms around your stomach, tears stinging the back of your eyes, and you find yourself unable to tear away from the mirror. As gorgeous as the mirror is, in this moment, you want to smash it into pieces
It's now when Felix walks in and sees you shaking in front of the mirror, the tears now starting to roll down your cheeks. He rushes over to you and pulls his cloak off, throwing it over the mirror and pulling you out of your stupor
Once he's sure the mirror is fully covered, he hugs you tightly, rubbing small circles on your back. He whispers comforting words in your ear, refuting everything the voices in your head are saying as if he can hear them himself
It's sort of true, for him. There were times where he felt disgusted by his body, feeling like he's an imposter in a dead person's body. He knows what you're feeling, and he hates that you feel that way about yourself
If he could take all those feelings out, he would. But for now, he's here to help and tell you how much he loves you
Anisa Anka
Being with Anisa has taught you that she can be strong with her opinions about you. Specifically, all the good opinions she has about you
She knows about your self-image issues, and she doesn't blame you for having them!
.....okay, that sounds a little wrong. She doesn't think that you're being dumb or irrational for having those thoughts. Your feelings are valid, and she's here to help you with that
Case in point: the two of you are doing some shopping through the town. Anisa has a free day, and the two of you just wanted to walk around town and see if anything catches your eye
You walk past a fancy dress shop and stop at the window to gawk at the newest dress. It's a gorgeous baby blue color, with white trim and pleating. It's a dress that you would die to have
As you're imagining yourself wearing the dress, your eyes flick over to your reflection in the mirror, and your dreams slowly begin to shatter. Compared to the beauty that is Anisa and the gorgeous dress, how dare you stand next to them. How dare you think you belong in the same space as them
You look away from the window and start to walk away, heart heavy with regret. Anisa notices and gently grabs your wrist, asking what's wrong
There's nothing wrong, you say. You're just ready to move on
Of course, Anisa knows you better than that. She grabs both of your hands and squeezes them comfortingly, reassuring you that those thoughts in your head? Garbage. And you know where they belong? In the trash, out of your fantastic brain and gorgeous body
And by the gods, she's gonna see you in that dress, and she's gonna see you smile
Sage Lesath
Sage never really had body image issues, to be honest. All of the negative feelings he's had about himself are about his actual self, not about his physical body. That being said, he absolutely understand having those negative thoughts about yourself
One of the main ways those negative thoughts materialize in real life is that you always wear pajamas to go to sleep. Full pants and mostly long-sleeve shirts, only wearing short-sleeves if it's really hot. It's in large contrast to Sage's underwear-only sleep style
He's asked a couple times if you ever wanted to try something like a nightgown or wearing shorts, but you've always turned them down. Since it was clear you weren't comfortable with those ideas, he's left you and your sleepwear choices be
One night, you're both getting ready to sleep. He's taking off his clothes, you're putting yours on--or, at least, you're trying to. For some reason, you can't find your last clean pair of pajamas
Did you accidentally put it in the dirty laundry? You rifle through the dirty clothes, scrunching up your nose a little, but you can't find them
Were they shoved into the back of the closet? You get on your tiptoes and feel all against the wooden back, but you can't feel them
At this point, you start to get a little frantic. You need those pajamas. You can't just sleep without them. If you don't, you'll feel your body, Sage will feel your body. Your actual body, your actual skin. Oh, how disgusted he will be
Sage asks you what's wrong, and you try to collect yourself and explain that you can't find your pajamas, but you can't stop the tears from coming and your voice from breaking. Your arms instinctively wrap around yourself, trying to hide from his worried view
He reaches out and pulls you up against him, tucking your head into the crook of his neck. His soft hair tickles your nose as he whispers reassurances in your ear
He doesn't entirely understand how you can hate such a gorgeous and divine body like yours, but he's here for you nonetheless. Whatever you want him to do to make you comfortable, he will do it, and he will show you his love in his own way
Mainly through worship. He's a worshipper. We all know this
Rime Solano Varela
I'm gonna be honest, I don't think he really cares about your body like that. He cares about you, of course, but he doesn't give that much thought into what you look like. He's more interested in who you are as a person
Even so, he does understand wanting to feel comfortable in your own skin. He wears what he does because it gives the small sensation of being comfortable, and so he wants that for you too
One day, you're doing some spring cleaning around the house and are clearing out your shared closet. You're pulling out your clothes that you don't wear anymore to put in a donate pile to give it to people less fortunate than you
You're separating your Astraea-bought clothes from your Earth-bought clothes, not entirely sure if you can give away your Earth clothes, when your eyes catch one of the tags on your shirt. There's at least three letters on there, and most of them are X's
You look at all of your Earth shirts. All of them say the same thing. All of them have those damn X's and L's. No M's or S's in sight
Compared to Rime's clothes, which better fit his smaller body, yours look...grotesque. They clearly don't belong here. You clearly don't belong here
You grab all your clothes and throw them as far as you can in a fit of rage that fizzles out into sadness. You stand there, shaking, eyes welling up with tears, stuck where you are with the voices in the back of your head
Hearing the commotion, Rime comes in to check on you. Seeing the clothes strewn about, you standing still in the middle of the room, and knowing your struggles with your body image, it isn't hard for him to piece together what happened
He says your name as he walks over to you, and you don't even get to look over at him before he claps both his hands on your cheeks. As you're trying to recover from the shock, he starts talking
He really doesn't give a shit about what you look like, or what clothes you wear. They're insignificant. Literally just pieces of fabric. The only thing he cares about is you, and you need to start doing that too
His normally icy expression softens as he takes a deep breath, trying to switch gears a little. He just wants you to be comfortable in your own body, and he knows it's easier said than done, but he wants to help you
So let's not focus on what you have and go get something you like, okay? He doesn't know how much longer he can stand seeing you look at yourself like that

This is only my second attempt at writing an imagine/headcanons.
Also, I can concur with what I see a lot of people complaining about: writing on mobile, sucks.
***Spoilers mainly for Felix's route, just for Rime's part of the post. Small spoilers though, nothing crazy.
Life is great. The LoS has been defeated and Astraea is safe. MC has decided to stay in Astraea to be with their LI of choice and not return to earth. They've officially been in Astraea for over a year. Life is good.
Until MC gets amnesia. Either from an accidental spell or a blow to the head. They've lost all of their memories of Astraea, their adventures, and their loved ones. The last thing they remember is the convention before they were ripped from away from earth, and even then the details are foggy.
Felix is a total wreck. He and MC were practically inseparable. If you saw Felix somewhere, MC was probably just a few feet away, and vice versa. They were never apart, and they liked it that way. So for Felix, to go from always having MC at his side to them being strangers... it was very hard for him.
It was almost like the whole Rime situation again, just in a different manner. It takes a toll on his mental health.
Felix works nonstop, searching for a spell to recover MC's memories, and even begs his father for help. But to no avail, MC's memories are gone. They don't even remember their first time meeting Felix.
Felix soon accepts that his only option is to take care of MC and let their relationship come again naturally. They were rather close, after all. It will happen... it has to.
But Felix cannot silence the nagging thought in the back of his head, his insecurities telling him "it was a miracle that they fell for you the first time..."
Felix doesn't try to force the memories, nor does he let them affect the current dynamic between him and MC. But one day they were in the study, reading together on the couch, and MC drifted off to sleep on Felix's shoulder. It took everything in him not cry, because they used to do that all the time. The faint familiarity of it hurt Felix, because it only reminded him of the memories lost.
Despite the trauma and turmoil Felix had to face regarding MC's amnesiac state, he never gave up on them. Not once. And every tear, every sleepless night, every struggle was worth it when MC shyly took hold of Felix's hand during a walk. In that moment, he knew everything was going to be okay.
Anisa tries to put on a brave face. Of course on the inside she feels like her heart has been torn out. She and MC were about as a close as two people can get, they were friends, and then partners. Now they're strangers- at least, they are to MC.
After being advised to not try and force memories back, Anisa does her best to keep things as casual as possible. But it's so hard for her to not take MC's hand when they're walking through the town. And she catches herself staring off at MC with a lovesick expression more often than she'd care to admit.
Despite the internal struggles, Anisa is probably the one who would handle the situation the best. Don't get me wrong, she struggles immensely, and there are definitely tears. But she keeps a positive attitude, knowing that MC is still the same person that fell in love with her, and she still loves them immensely.
Her mother does her best to help. And by that, I mean she subtly tries to play matchmaker in an attempt to set MC and Anisa up (again). It's quite comedic, MC walking into a definitely not romantic dinner with candles and a violinist and flowers and Anisa standing there like "I didn't do this I swear."
It was hard for Anisa to open up to MC the first time, she's got demons she feels like she needs to hide. But she feels relief when she remembers that MC never judged her before, so they wouldn't judge her now.
It takes time, but they grow to be quite close again. Anisa's patience pays off the day MC turns to her and says, "I think I'm in love with you."
Sage takes it the the worst, no doubt there. He stayed closed off for years, fighting to keep every little skeleton in his closet hidden. Never opening up, never revealing his secrets or speaking of his past. MC fought so hard to gain Sage's trust, to get him to let them in. And all for nothing... they're gone now.
Sage is fully aware it's still the MC he fell for. It's them... but it's also not.
He will never forget the pain he felt when he went to embrace MC that horrid day and they looked at him with a confused expression before asking who he was.
He spent the next few days under the impression this was just a cruel, cruel joke being played on him. After he realized it wasn't a joke, he convinced himself it was a nightmare. A horrible nightmare.
He avoids MC. It hurts far too much. Sage makes an excuse to leave the room every time they come in, and he stays out on missions for longer periods of time.
Tulsa, Anisa, Felix, even Rime all have to keep Sage from drinking himself to death.
Sage comes to his senses one day when MC grabs his wrist to stop him from leaving the room, asking "why do you hate me so much?"
After that, Sage sticks around and basically becomes MC's bodyguard. He doesn't leave their side and becomes very protective over them. He doesn't try and force memories back, but unlike Anisa and Felix he does spend a lot of time telling MC about the time they spent together with him- just leaving out any romantic aspects (and also overhyping himself in the stories).
He finally works up the courage to ask MC out one night. "Like on an actual date?... you, Sage, wanna go out with me???"
The date went very well, and Sage felt from that point that things for him and MC were going to be okay.
Rime is of course, very worried and somewhat distraught. Just last week, MC had told Rime that they loved him, and now they look at him like a stranger. He doesn't know what to do.
However, if there's one thing Rime knows how to do, it's to do what he can with the situation he's faced with. And so, he takes this as an opportunity for a new start with MC. They don't remember his attempts to kill them, so that's a good thing, right?
He's surprisingly soft with MC. Not that he didn't have his moments before, but now more than ever he's just super gentle and sweet.
Trust me, he still teases the hell out of them and bullies them (lovingly). But it kind of gives the others whiplash, because they're used to Rime being all, you know, stabby. And now he's over here patting MC's head... what the hell?
Rime does his best to make sure MC doesn't find out about their past encounters, and begs Felix, Anisa and and Sage to keep quiet about it. And they do, deciding that if Rime wants to tell MC later on, he will.
From the moment they wake up without their memories, Rime is by their side. He spends every waking moment with them and they're hardly apart. MC doesn't mind, because Rime has been so helpful and kind since they woke up in the strange new world. Rime isn't possessive by any means, nor does he keep MC under lock and key. He's just very protective. "They could hardly defend themselves before... what do you think is going to happen if they are faced with danger now?"
He takes his time teaching MC magic and how to use the Astrolab (because Felix never did) and he's a surprisingly patient teacher. Very encouraging, corrects any mistakes but isn't an ass about it. However, does tease MC whenever the opportunity arises. "If you hadn't been so busy staring at me, dear, then you may have heard what I just told you to do."
MC's feelings return gradually, even if their original memories don't. Nothing needs to be spoken between MC and Rime though... they both know. And that's all they need.

I just want to go into Felix's study, lay on the couch with a thousand blankets and pillows and watch him read his books (that he absolutely will not tell me what they're about) and he'll sip tea while Stella nips and tears holes into one of Felix's socks behind the couch that he'll eventually will just have to forfeit to Stella,,, the air is warm and comforting from those scented candles he bought that one time in the market in Porrima on a whim and he'll have left an extra cup of tea he's brewed just for me,,,, is this too much to ask for?? am I not deserving of such beauty or am I not worthy of having an evening like this???

I decide to give a short drabble of Deernap. I retyped it to give a basic awareness of the roles Mc and Rime have with each other. And to intentionally build up their relationship piece by piece. Eat it up! Last legacy fans, eat it UP!
"Have you ever been kidnapped before?" 
A chilling voice ricocheted your entire world off its axis by hearing that disturbing question. Hence again, Rime was particular with his choice of words when everything he said had a deeper meaning behind it. To your surprise he had broken into your room, once again.
His wide-eyed delusional expression focused burning a hole into you, "Well, Mc! No stupid comeback from that sharp tongue of yours!" 
"Not a chance." 
He pauses. "Why not? Have you given up your ludicrous morality? Works for me either way. I'll still rip your throat out ever so slowly." He saunters his way to you with a sway of his hips and the click of his sandals on deft ears. Twirling his sharp dagger in his hand with a hint of excitement. Although his eagerness never reaches his eyes. You ponder on his forced mannerism.
For a while, you recognized Rime had been keeping an eye on you. Not surprised you left him notes or memos here and there. The two of you had a game of predator vs. prey, is the game. Who would take each other out first? Supposedly, his goal was to pursue his vengeance on you for purposely stealing his life. Which, obviously you didn't do it on purpose. He did not care, likewise, you did care to help him. Although, you scarcely knew a speck about him at all for that fact. Only the things you heard or his emotional monologues.
His masculine slim figure hovered over you to leave him glaring down upon your scowl you repay him with. "No, just tired of your bullshit." His eye twitches at your nonchalant ness on his intimidation tactic he reused constantly. "Such a Bitch." 
"Thank you for the compliment. Are you done with the dramatics, deer boi?"
Suddenly, he snatches your wrist and pins you against the wall as you hold in a grunt. "Guess, I should know by now when to shut up. Lucky for you I only use five percent of my brain cells." With a pained expression you squint your eyes from the tears beading the corners. Threatening to slip out one by one.
Nevertheless, you instigate his patience further, "Did you know people use only seven percent of their brain cells, which is crazy, and -," his grip tightens on your wrists. Mumfling your whimpers you notice his pupils are blown out with bags under his eyes. His face is contorted to assume resentment, except, his blotchy dotted face has sweat beading his brow. 
In a low whispered voice you divulge, "What is this really about this time, Rime?" You can feel his grip tighten on your wrist once more but your mind still screams at his pain more than your own. You see his jaw lockdown, "I can't stand you." Your heart aches in pieces until your gaze narrows on his lips quivering.
"You're a nuisance from day one." Sweat drips down his chin or….. is it tears. You can't tell when he hangs his head, his matted pink and white hair covering his face. 
"Asleep within my nightmares I see only you. Awake I imagine only you. Fighting you makes me feel alive again." His sorrowful gaze leaps to see your dreadful manner. "Why do you haunt me endlessly, Mc? 
You choke on your awaited words to comfort him. Nothing slips past your pale lips. You realize the truth. He's choosing to be vulnerable around you of all people.
 But why?
With a silent beat you reach out a hand to caress his cold face. "The real question should be, "Have you ever been acknowledged for yourself before?"

Hi hi hi
Thoughts on how the main 3 (or M4 😳) would realize they’re in love with mc? Like I think for some (Felix) it would come slower but for sage he’s just. Ah shit. *enters a state of denial*
I think Felix could recognize his feelings bc he felt similarly when falling for Rime. Anisa knows she has a crush on mc and is both terrified and incredibly elated. I have no idea how Rime would react but I bet it’s a mix of self-hate and anger/sadness? Maybe melancholy is a better word? Idk. I don’t think he’d be happy about it at first
Sorry if you’ve already had a similar ask-
- coffee anon (has no better name for themself anon)
I swear I've written this prompt before but I cannot for the life of me find it in the masterlist so. Here we go . Also Hi Coffee Anon I have no idea how long ago you sent this I am so so sorry I would say I'm doing my best but really I'm mentally burdened and struggle to complete basic tasks so I'm not sure that would be completely honest. I'm trying is the point.
GN!Reader, short and sweet
Felix Escellun
You're right that Felix does recognize it from when he was with Rime. And initially that kind of scares him!! Because. You know. The only reason you're here is because he tried to resurrect Rime - for entirely selfish reasons, he realizes that now - and isn't that kinda horrible of him? To drag Rime back from the dead just to fall in love with someone else?
He tries to fight it at first but it doesn't go very well.
He can't really avoid you when he's teaching you magic. He can't stop his laughter when you say something particularly clever, or his heart from swelling when you do something so small yet so thoughtful just for his sake.
It also does not help when you fall asleep on the couch in the study and he turns to tell you something and then he just,, pauses,,, can't help but watch the way the firelight plays on your face and the soft little smile you have as you dream and feel his heart flutter.
I think the moment he really admits it to himself is in the study when he begs Rime not to hurt you. And I think that's when Rime realizes that too.
Ouch.
Anisa Anka
We know Anisa has dated before (I think Ayanna mentions it in Chapter 3? Anisa tried to cook dinner for someone and nearly set the kitchen on fire) so I don't think it's out of the question that she might recognize the feelings. But then we have to ask, why did her other relationships fail?
Well. I think a big part of it was her lying. There comes a point in a relationship where the act of keeping secrets - no matter what they're actually about - causes a strain. The other person has to ask, what exactly is it that Anisa's hiding? And for how long? And does that mean she could hide other things?
Honestly I think half of it is in Anisa's head. She panics and cuts things off whenever her partner starts asking questions.
But you're different. You know one of her greatest secrets - her father's true identity - and you don't seem to really care.
So maybe it's upon realizing that you're so blasé about this that she starts to fall for you.
I think that Anisa probably realized it when you guys were in Rivath and exploring her old house. She realized that she really didn't mind exposing her past if it was you she was showing it too.
Also I think the uh. The confrontation with her father where you defended her probably helped cement it.
Sage Lesath
Man it really does hit Sage like a freight train.
One day you guys are just going on bounty hunts and hanging out at taverns, the next he's pushing you against a wall and kissing you until you're both out of breath and staring at the way your eyes are all half-lidded and your face is flushed and feeling the way your fingers are curled against the back of his neck and
Oh. Oh no.
And then he does deny it. Calls it a crush. Lust. Appreciation for you putting up with his dumb ass.
He starts acting like a tsundere - moreso than usual anyways. Gets huffy when you praise him but still undeniably loves it. Bites when you try to pet him but always ends up purring and nuzzling against you.
And then you're in the cultist temple and that Corrupted grabs you and starts dragging you off, and Sage has to rescue you.
And as he's looking you over to make sure you're okay, feeling his poor overwhelmed heart burn with relief, that he admits to himself that he's hopelessly in love with you.
And then Zenith starts burning and he's able to use his Relic again.
And then the Gramme stuff happens like a day or two later and I start crying
Rime Varela
Man. Okay. So. I always struggle so much with writing Rime because 75% of the time he hates us. And I think the way he acts with Felix is different from the way he would act with you, at least in certain aspects.
Personal headcanon (since it's really all I have to go off of) I think that when you do see Felix and Rime together, the way Rime acts is more along the lines of how he acted when they were first together, before he died. Part of him is afraid that if he lets on just how much he's changed, Felix will be disgusted and leave him.
But he doesn't have that problem with you.
So I think the first time he realizes he's in love with you is when he does something so completely opposite of what he would have done when he was Starsworn - when he was a good boi - and you don't seem phased. You treat him the exact same as you did a minute ago.
Oh he hates you.
But he loves how normal you make him feel, and that's where it all falls apart.

for @siderealescapist : rime, scenario 18, gn!reader
person a switching shoes with person b because they're uncomfortable
WAHOO!!! thank u for joining my event omg im so sorry it took so long orz
wondering if you should walk around shoeless isn’t a thought you usually have, but at this point you’ve questioned it 6 times in the past 5 minutes. you huff as you semi-waddle along. “why is the food so far away from our table?”
the dining hall you’re in is full of people, all dressed in formal clothes and chatting, and you wonder if anyone would notice someone walking with their shoes in their hands. rime is putting food on his plate when he responds. “i told you you should’ve worn the other pair. those always give you blisters.”
“but these ones were nicer.”
“mhm,” he agrees before turning and flicking your forehead. “and also giving you blisters.”
you pout as his response, knowing he was right. he shuffles forward with the people in front and all you can do is follow. you go down the line and fill your plate, and you’re still racking your mind for pros and cons of going barefoot when rime reaches for your hand at the end, pulling you away from the crowd.
it’s when you find yourself on the side of the hall that you really stare at your boyfriend with a quizzical look. rime says nothing at first, taking both of your plates and putting them aside on the table next to you. he looks at you, at your shoes, then back at you. “off.”
he doesn’t leave much room for argument as he waits. still confused, you hesitantly bend down to take them off. your confusion only grows when you watch rime take his own off, leaving the both of you shoeless and hoping no one is watching. “what the hell are you doing?”
he grabs your shoes out of your hands and places his in their place before bending down again. he speaks loud enough for you to hear him. “we didn't bring bandaids so i'm switching shoes with you.” the words are casual, as if it was obvious this was the best solution. and without another pair to go with, there’s no other option but to play along.
you think the two of you must look a little silly putting on shoes in the middle of an event, and probably even sillier after you’re done. rime shuffles and messes with the back of his pair as if it would make them fit better. you try to do the same and tap your feet against the floor, taking a few steps from side to side. “your shoes suck.”
“well yours aren’t exactly comfortable for me either, sweetheart.”
despite your best efforts, you snort at the sight of him, even though you can’t look much better with his on your feet. he shoots you a look. “i could easily make you switch back, you know.”
you try again to stop grinning as you apologize, putting your hands up in surrender. rime rolls his eyes before picking your plates back up and handing yours over—you decide not to comment on the awkwardness of his steps. he repositions his to hold it in one hand, reaching for your hand with the other.
"c’mon. i'm not letting you out of my sight when you have my shoes on."
"and you need to hold my hand for that?”
“yes.”
“really?”
there's a smugness to your voice, even when rime has to maneuver the both of you through a crowd you're half sure would have separated you without his help. rime doesn't seem to note that himself, and you're met with no response as he keeps walking. the only sign he heard you is a second long tightened grip on your fingers that you could practically hear the "be quiet" that came with.

*·.✴ happy birthday!
Last Legacy: Rime Varela (Fictif Games)
❕: no warnings, just fluff with Rime for once, unedited
nyxelenios: Rime deserves to be happy and i am here to deliver even though his birthday was days ago :( this was sitting in my drafts for a while, sorry... enjoy! 🧡 reblogs are highly appreciated! send in questions and requests if you like! :D
"Hi?"
"[Name]? What do you want at this hour? It's past midnight."
You ignore Rime's scolding and quietly welcome yourself into his room. The air is slightly chilly, even with the windows closed. You notice his eyebrows are knitted together, his eyes are trying to look behind you. "What are you hiding?" he asks when he stands to step closer to you.
You produce a small but intricately decorated cake with an unlit candle on top of a pair of sugar candy antlers. "Happy birthday, Rime," you greet with a smile.
Rime blinks a few times, wide eyes taking in the sight of the beautiful cake and your beautiful smile. Gods, you're adorable. So thoughtful and sweet... Oh, his icy heart might just melt and start beating again.
What he'd give to feel his heart race at the thought, the sight, and the feeling of you...
He wordlessly wraps an arm around you and pulls you closer, pushing the door to give you and him privacy, a world away from the real world.
"You made this for me?" Rime asks as his eyes look down to the cake in your hands. His voice is gentle, soft... His thumb is caressing your waist so carefully, lightly, as if you were precious glass. You can't help but stare at him; his long lashes are beautiful, his cotton candy pink hair looks so soft and has a calming scent of lavender and rose, you think? The freckles spread across his cheeks map out an entire galaxy, and you know you'd count all of the stars in it, name all the planets after him, and love it whole.
Just like you do Rime.
"Like what you see~?"
You're snapped back to consciousness with Rime's laugh. You realize he's taken the cake off your hands and placed it on the table, but he's held you close the whole time you were admiring him without a thought behind your eyes.
The heat creeping to your face feels too much, and you think Rime sees your skin flush. He laughs when you don't answer. Oh gods.
"I-I do, actually," you answer, lightly laughing to hopefully distract him from your embarrassing moment. And you do distract him. Rime's smile disappears into a thin line, and his eyes blink owlishly at you. You can tell he's blushing from the slight darkening of the apples of his cheeks. His ears twitch as he laughs it off. The tips of his ears are flushed.
You find yourself grinning. Have you actually flustered him? Finally! You've been trying for so long.
Rime cups your face and squeezes your cheeks. "Wipe that cheeky grin off your face or I will," he says, one corner of his lips quirking up, sultry eyes boring into yours. You grin wider.
"Do it then." Oh, boy. You don't know what he'll do but you hope you're ready for it. What if he freezes your feet to the floor? What if he flips you over? or body-slams you? Oh dear gods, what if he pulls his knife out–
Oh.
Oh.
His soft lips are on yours, and you can feel him fighting back a smile, a grin. His eyes are closed, which you're grateful for so he doesn't see just how shocked you are.
When Rime pulls away, he smirks. Still holding your face, he says, "Looks like I did wipe that grin off your face."
You swallow hard, and lick your lips. "Again. Please?"
Rime stifles his laugh and pinches your cheeks. "Seems you've forgotten what you came in here for."
"I didn't! One more kiss, then we can celebrate!"
"Fine, just one more." Rime pulls you flush against his own body and seals the gap between you with a sweet kiss. Your hands cup his cheeks when you both pull away and he leans into your warmth, his soft smile melting your heart.
"Happy birthday, Rime~"
"Thank you, [Name]."

Hello ! Can I mention how much I love your stories and depictions of the characters its *chef kiss* this is why I wanted to make a little request of sort like...imagine if MC had pollen allergies with each LIs' reaction to it and how they could've discovered it (including Rime if you want).
Yes this is self indulgent my allergies killed me and I want MC to bear with me.
Stay safe !
Ahh you're so kind anon!! I hope your allergies ease up soon and I sure do hope I can deliver this in a timely manner <33
m.list
Felix
It didn't occur to Felix to warn you about the pollen-fest Florian's garden becomes during the spring. He was born and raised there after all, so I'd assume he developed immunity as a child, hygiene theory and all that.
You're practicing spells together when you sneeze mid-casting and it blows up in both your faces.
There seems to be no fever to explain all the coughing and itching and fatigue... Could it be the new clothes he got you? The flowers maybe? Once you tell him it might actually be the flowers, and all the greenery surrounding the mansion, he immediately portals you out of there.
It's not uncommon for Felix to get lost in his books when met with a problem he doesn't know how to solve. He might not be all that well-read when it comes to healthcare of the living, but that won't stop him from playing nurse.
"I've wrangled beasts of the void before; surely, I can wrangle your allergies too."
He's unfamiliar with natural treatments and herbal remedies but he's got a book or two regarding the subject. There's no guarantee they'll work, but he hates sitting there and feeling helpless.
Healing magic isn't his strong suit either but he can still fix up a mean potion, though he might be more reluctant to serve you the more experimental ones.
"Wherever can I find someone who suffers the same affliction, MC? Let alone have them accept this experimental medicine... This is why experimenting with the dead is far more simple."
As much as he'd rather you make the tea (claiming you just have that "special touch"), he insists on making you some soothing tea this time. It takes a few tries to get it just right, but what is he if not a persistent man?
Tell him about vacuums and how they suck up all the dust and dirt, and he'll figure out how to pull one from the void, then try to use a spell to power it. Hell, he might figure a void/portal spell that imitates a vacuum. Now the pollen is the spirits' problem.
Unless dragged outside, Stella is more than content staying in her rightful place guarding Lemegeton, so you don't have to worry about her bringing in pollen and dirt from outside. Sage, however, is banned from going anywhere near you.
Anisa
You greet her when she's back from work and Anisa immediately rushes to your side, wipes away at your tears and fusses over you, until you sneeze 6 consecutive times, and that's when she Realizes.
She might be careless about keeping her apartment clean, but not after finding out about your allergies! She insists that you don't pick up anything; she'd hate for all that dust to make your condition worse. So now you're wearing the face mask you somehow still have from the convention, after Anisa pushed you outside the apartment, and you can hear a lot of crashing coming in from the inside as you wait, each time followed by a "I'm fine! This is fine!"
It's actually surprising just how quickly she manages to get her shit together for your sake. Once every week she fills a small tub with hot water and soap so you can both sit together and wash your sheets and clothes by hand. It's not exactly a date, and there isn't much conversation to share, but it's a peaceful, domestic moment, and it's little things like these that make life feel all the more special. She looks up at you once in a while throughout the task, then quickly looks away when you meet her gaze. What's going on inside her head? Oh, MC and I are all alone! In my OUR apartment! We're doing chores TOGETHER! Oh, how fun >///<
You may not touch her when she's back from work until she's completely washed up and changed. She insists, because she will not be the reason your allergies could get worse!
Will soup make you feel better? Hell if she knows, she'll still try to make you one. She somehow ruins the kitchen in the process.
Never tires of saying "bless you" to every sneeze.
The apartment gradually returns to its sorry state of disarray as allergy season passes.
Sage
Is incredibly concerned by how often you sneeze around him. Turns out you didn't suddenly develop allergies to cats or dogs (or ilephta); it just so happens that they can still bring in their fair share of allergens. Sage's hair itself isn't a problem as he keeps it neatly braided, but he can't help what gets stuck in the wild fluffy tufts around his ears or the end of his tail.
Grooms himself more often than ever before, but especially before going into your room. Even cleans out his hair comb more regularly.
"Oh noo MC do you think that pesky stuff is stuck to my jacket too? Do you want me to take it off? ;)"
Please, he just needs to get his cuddles, and no, he doesn't care about your runny nose.
"Your blushy nose is so cute, MC."
"Do you think the snot is cute too?"
"... All of you is cute, MC."
Ok Sage
Felix gifts you a lint roller out of sympathy.
Sage is pretty bummed about you being less likely to go out with him; he's an outdoors cat guy not an indoors one, come on.
Alas, these are the sacrifices one makes for love. He'll just curl up by that sunny spot in your room for the occasional nap. Maybe he'll try his hands at soup or making a neti pot; all that sniffling and coughing keeps waking him up.
Rime
He gets a little too cocky when you keep slipping up during your spar session—missed hits and botched spells—but then you're doubling over and sneezing so often, stumbling as the tears blur your vision, and he starts to feel concerned (not that you have to know).
Well there's no point in forcing it, you'll only feel worse. You're staying inside, we're closing the windows and washing the sheets, and preparing a neti pot. What? This is for his benefit, not yours! What good is a sparring partner with allergies?
He keeps hovering over your bed and you might have to remind him that he's already doing a good job taking care of you, he doesn't need to hang by like you're on your deathbed.
Rime? Preening upon receiving MC's praise? More likely than you think.
But... he does want to hang out with you; he only realizes it when he keeps taking the route that passes by your room and listening in for any sneezing or coughing. And Rime has a hard time admitting to it, even to himself, so he just keeps finding excuses to come by. Give him some time he'll get there eventually 🤧🤧.
Actually pretty interested in Earth science and medicine so he'll ask a bunch of questions about how you coped with your allergies back there. He feels a little less frustrated about not having the astrolabe when he learns that allergy is less of a wound to be healed and more of a Reaction your body has to something—ie your body's own healing/defense mechanism—and healing magic might not exactly counter it, even if Rime still had it. Still, he wonders if there's a spell that can find a way around it.
