the friendships between the five girls in murder most unladylike are really important and here's why

this will contain SPOILERS for all nine books in the mmu series, so read at your own risk

*cracks knuckles* i don't actually crack my knuckles, but this is probably gonna be long, so settle in

ever since once upon a crime came out i've been back on my mmu bullshit, and i was thinking about how good and important the friendships between daisy, hazel, kitty, beanie and lavinia are, and how much they all support each other, which is so important. here's why

kitty: i'm starting with kitty, because out of all of them, she has the most solid support unit in her family. she has a nice middle class life, with a nice family. her parents also seem to have a pretty solid and healthy relationship (in top marks for murder, we find out her mother is pregnant, and given that kitty and her sister are already in their teens, this indicates that their parents have a pretty healthy sexual relationship; obviously pregnancy can happen easy, but i hope you get the point). anyway. in jolly foul play, kitty's younger sister "runs away", which kitty is worried about given that her sister had been involving herself in the fallout of the murder and the gossip about the older pupils at the school. the rest of her friends help find her sister. i can't think of many other instances where the murder cases get personal for kitty, but when she needs her friends, they're there for her. another note, kitty is really protective and close with beanie, and has beanie stay with her during the christmas holidays while her parents are away because beanie's mother is ill (this is in the case of the missing bunbreak which is a short story - also! - kitty gets beanie a dictaphone because beanie isn't so good at writing stuff up)

beanie: out of all of them, beanie is the one that seems to value her friends the most, and this really shows. most obviously is in jolly foul play, when beanie knowingly puts herself between her friends and the girl they just discovered is the murderer. beanie. who originally has this nickname because she is physically small. she ends up in the school hospital afterwards, but she was able to protect her friends. beanie's friends are also very protective of her, probably because she is so loveable, which we see in top marks for murder. remember when her dad shows up by himself, and beanie is freaked out because she had recently seen a man strangle/attempting to strangle a woman in the woods? she goes running off, and her friends go after her and hug her and reassure her. good stuff.

lavinia: lavinia as a character is complicated, but here we go. she is very much the "gruff character with a heart of gold" character, but it feels pretty reasonable. in the very first paragraph of the first book, it is mentioned that lavinia comes from a "broken home" i.e. her parents are divorced. i think we find this out even before we find out hazel is chinese. so yeah, given that divorce was pretty uncommon in the 30s, escpecially among wealthier people, i think this affected lavinia pretty hard, and as a result of the fallout from her parents' marriage, she decided she didn't need anyone (this is my interpretation, take it or leave it, but i have proof. it's mentioned that lavinia has older brothers, so i think even when she was a child growing up, lavinia didn't have the experience of parents who loved her and each other, that their marriage was on the rocks for a while, and eventually they decided to just end with divorce, damn the repurcussions, damn the fact that it will be a talking point at their daughter's school). she also doesn't have a significant best friend, which must feel kind of lonely in her dorm because kitty and beanie are best friends, as are daisy and hazel. but she's not entirely a lone wolf, even if it seems like it at first. daisy and hazel's first case is finding lavinia's tie, because lavinia asked them for help. when daisy inducts lavinia into the detective society in the fourth book, it's because lavinia asked to be part of it, and even though she mocks daisy's solemn rituals, hazel notes that she seems pleased to be part of it. when daisy and hazel come back to school at the start of the book, lavinia makes a "we didn't really miss you" comment, but hazel can tell she doesn't mean it. hazel also notes that lavinia seems pleased when the others tell her and daisy about lavinia being good at tennis; this contrasts with the tennis exhibition scene later in the book when her father's fiancée is cheering her on. essentially, lavinia's rejection of parental figures means that she probably values her friends all the more, and the support they give her. a couple of instances of her being a good friend to the others that stick out as well: in jolly foul play, when kitty's sister binny is found, and binny says she is hungry, lavinia is the one to give her some chocolate. lavinia also decides to crash at kitty's during the christmas holidays rather than spend them with her father and his fiancée. this has got too long, let's move on.

daisy: a bit like lavinia, daisy can be a bit mean to/reject others, which i think comes down to her confidence and self-assurance. these are great personality traits, don't get me wrong, but there can be downsides to them. for example, in jolly foul play, daisy feels less self-assured about her friendship with hazel because hazel and alexander have started to write to each other after meeting on the orient express (i'd also point out that this is at a time when daisy probably needs support more than ever because she and her family are probably still dealing with the aftermath of the murder and murder trial, which was probably quite a big deal). at one point, hazel sees daisy making lists and writing notes about the murder, the things that hazel usually does during an investigation. we can put this rejection of friendship with hazel down to daisy's insecurity. even earlier in the series is arsenic for tea, where i can think of two significant moments. firstly, daisy and hazel see her mother secretly making out with a man that is not daisy's father. rough, which is why afterwards hazel comforts her. the second instance is when daisy and hazel overhear a conversation between the butler and daisy's father, and without complete context, it seems to confirm that daisy's father is the murderer. at first daisy won't acknowledge it, and hazel has to practically put the words in her mouth, which is a pretty tense and emotional moment. it's not really an argument, but hazel has to force her best friend to confront the fact that her father may have committed a murder, which again ties into her self-assurance. in the first book, hazel writes about the honourable daisy wells; popular, pretty, clever, the daughter of a lord. she is storybook perfect, but in the second book, we see that things aren't as perfect as they seem. daisy finds out her mother's infidelity, and later fears that the father she adores may be a murderer. her self-assurance about that everything in her life is golden begins to falter, and so she relies on herself and her friends to work through the murder case. daisy is also a good friend though, especially to hazel. yes, she can be mean and teasing sometimes, but ultimately she is a good friend. when hazel's grandfather dies in a spoonful of murder, the first thing we hear daisy say about it is "i guess i'm coming to hong kong then". hazel needed daisy and daisy is there for her. daisy comforts hazel through grief over her loss, jealousy about her new baby brother, and guilt about the subsequent kidnapping and murder that takes place. and in death sets sail? daisy saves the life of hazel's youngest sister may. literally, because may is maybe seven or eight, and probably can't swim. hazel and her family and everyone else is panicking, but daisy kind of just runs straight into the situation, never mind the danger, she has to save hazel's sister. and she does. also a couple of things to note about this scene, when daisy turns to look back just before she goes overboard, hazel wonders if it was because amina was watching, and daisy wanted to impress her. but hazel also hears daisy say her name just before she goes overboard. in that scene, through all the stress daisy was thinking about hazel, her friend, and saving her friend's little sister.

hazel: finally, we come to hazel. out of all of them, maybe even more than beanie, i would say that hazel values her friends the most. for the obvious reason, her family lives on another continent, and therefore it's important to have some strong connection with the people she does have near to her. at first it's just kind of necessity? when she first comes to deepdean, hazel is shy and no-one really talks to her, and she is pretty much just a sort of curiosity, very much the "other". it is after daisy watches hazel's failed experiment in fitting in with the other girls, and realises how she is clever and observant and puts on an act for others (which hazel also recognises in daisy), that daisy decides that they're going to be friends. it's also my theory that this then leads to kitty, beanie and lavinia befriending her a bit more. while they probably weren't unkind or r*cist to her, they probably let the "otherness" of hazel's ethnicity and nationality act as a barrier to properly getting to know her, which was probably exacerbated by the fact that hazel is quite introverted (compared to amina for example, who is very outgoing and lively, which meant that everyone at deepdean immediately loved her - there is something to be said about the fact that people probably didn't regard amina with the same amount of "otherness" because if they can have a asian pupil at their school, why not an african one?). hazel is also a kind person, which makes her a good friend to the others. near the end of death sets sail, she helps look for the cook's brooch which had been a gift from daisy, and later comforts kitty about not having a boyfriend. but hazel also relies on her friends, and they support her. when hazel's grandfather dies and her father wants her to come home, she insists on having daisy with her. kitty tells hazel about the fact that alexander is clearly pining for her. in the first book when everyone is discussing the teacher that has gone missing (because she's been murdered) beanie brings up a rumour that the teacher is "an agent for the East" then panics and apologises to hazel (something hazel notes that only beanie would think to do). there are other facets of hazel and her friendships, that i could explore, but i am tired and this has gone on long enough.

if you have reached the end, congratulations. hopefully you enjoyed this essay length ramble about female friendships in the murder most unladylike series

request by @batnervousdazecollector: Hiii🥰I hope you’re doing gewddd hehe. So I’ve never made a request or suggestion for a fix but this literally keeps me up at night now, but I heard the song and immediately thought of sonny. Could you maybe do a fic based on driver’s license-Olivia Rodrigo? 😇🙏🏽please and thank you

words: 1,583

Drivers license

“Doll, you have thirty minutes to pack a bag. I have the week off, we’re going on that road trip we talked about,”

Most beautiful week in your 25 years of life. People would tell you “You’re young, you still have so much to live.” But they don’t know, they don’t understand. That week with Sonny was everything you ever dreamt about. Driving across the east coast, sleeping in the old van he rented, stopping to the most amazing point of view on the ocean. For an entire week, it was just you and him. Nothing more, nothing less. And it was perfect. That’s something nobody can take away from you.

You wished time would have stopped during this week. You wished that you never had to come back and face the reality. That’s why you still looked at those pictures you and Sonny took during that trip and fall asleep, every night, remembering all of those precious moments. From the moment you got into the plane and held his hand firmly since you were scared, to the last night when you passionately made love under the stars. The times he made you drive although you had no idea what you were doing, swimming in the ocean, watching a ridiculous movie in the van as it was raining outside, taking hours to befriend a deer, singing until your voices were off…

But now, you’re falling asleep alone, crying, remembering this week and the entire year you dated Sonny. Again, you fought with your friends tonight. They are tired of listening to you talking about him. After the breakup, they were very supportive, they helped you in every way they can, but it’s been a year now, and they just want you to get over him for good. You can’t. Cause they'll never know him the way that you do.

Sonny got home late that night. He was working on a tough case and he spent hours going through surveillance videos. He was tired, worn down, with a killer headache. All he wanted to do was join you into bed and hold you close to him. But to his surprise, you were still up. You were sitting on the couch, with your computer on your lap. The tv was on but he could tell you weren’t watching it. He kissed your forehead softly but you didn’t react. “It’s 2am babe, let’s go to bed,” he said.

“Nah, I’m good,” you answered.

You obviously were in a bad mood, but he couldn’t deal with it right now. He told you he was going to take a shower. You figured he would come back after but instead, you heard him going to bed. Angry, you stood up and walked to the bedroom. “Seriously, Dominick?”

“What?” His face was buried in his pillow.

“You’re going to bed and just—leave me like that?”

He growled and sat up on the bed. “Like what, Y/N? It’s always the same. When I come home late at night, you’re mad because I missed a night out with your friends, or I just wasn’t there. I have a job, and I’m very exhausted right now. I really don’t want to do this,”

“Well, I do. Cause you got it wrong tonight. I didn't have my driver’s license. Again,”

“You’ll get it next time, okay?”

“Is that everything you have to say? You know how important it is to me!”

“Y/N, there’s far more important things in this world then your fucking drivers license! Women are raped, they get killed. Trust me, they wish their driver’s license was the only problem they had!”

You know you messed up. He wouldn’t have broken up with you if you’ve acted differently. But he was your first real boyfriend, you were new to this and you didn’t know how to handle it. You should have been more attentive with him, more caring. And not stupidly jealous and selfish.

“Sorry I’m late babe. Amanda needed help with Jesse,” he peeked your lips and sat across you.

“Could’ve given me a heads up, Dom. I’ve been waiting here for an hour, all by myself,”

“I know, I’m sorry! I didn’t have time to pick me my phone,”

“Sure. Because you were too busy with Jesse—or maybe with Amanda,” you muttered.

“Don’t—don’t do this again, Y/N,”

“Why not? You always put her first!”

“I do not. But she has a baby, and a full time job as a detective. She’s my friend, I’m here for her. That’s it,”

“‘Your friend’, right.”

“Quit it, Y/N! I’m not cheating on you with Amanda, or with anyone else for that matter. It’s hurtful that you don’t trust me,”

You should have trusted him. He deserved it. He did everything he could to make you happy. The man was a full time detective, he took night school at Fordham Law, and he still managed to take care of everyone around him. The world needs more of Dominick Carisi Jr, but the world doesn’t deserve Dominick Carisi Jr.

Neither do you.

But still. You finally got your driver’s license and all you wanted to do was to call Sonny and tell him the good news. Driving has always been a big issue for you and you know, you wouldn’t have done it without him.

“Do you mind me asking you a question?” He asked.

“Shot,”

“Why don’t you have your driver's license? No judgment, I’m just very curious,”

It took a moment to finally tell him everything. “We had a car accident when I was 7. A very bad car accident. My father died, my mother was severely injured and I—I was paralyzed for years,”

“Your body aches when it’s very cold outside, is it—?”

“Yes, it’s because of it. My doc still tells me I should live somewhere warmer,” you paused. “After that, I couldn’t get into a car at all. With therapy I beat that fear and I was still very nervous, I would get panic attacks. Then, I managed to be comfortable but only with people I trust. Now, I’m okay with cars but not in the driver seat,”

Sonny helped you with that. More than he will ever know. Especially during that road trip you two had. It was the first time you sat in a driver seat and drove a little without having a panic attack. It took you two more years, but you finally got your driver’s license and now you drive alone past his street.

Is he happy now? Is he dating her and raising her children? You found out months ago she had another baby. Was this baby Sonny’s? You had so many questions and no answers.

“Dom,

I got my driver’s license last week. It felt good at first, I was so proud of myself… but now it’s bittersweet. You’re not here. I can’t drive to your home. I can’t invite you to a road trip. Or even just a little ride. I wish I could, just one time, as a thank you. I wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for you. You gave me the strength and confidence. You are a true diamond in this world and I will never get over the fact I let you go. I should have fought. Fought for you, for us. But it’s too late, right? We weren’t perfect but I never felt this way for no one. I hope you’re happy where you are. Happy with your life, but a part of me can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone. I could never.

Forever yours,

Y/N.”

What do you have to lose? You pulled over in his street, took a moment to breathe and you got out off your car. The letter in your hand, you walked to his building, entered the code and got in. It’s 4am, it’s dark, empty and very quiet. What are you doing? This is the stupidest thing ever. The worst idea in the history of ideas.

But still, you put the letter in his mailbox and left. You had nothing left to lose anyway.

He said forever, now you drive alone past his street.

“Do you believe in soulmates?” You asked, as your head was resting on his chest.

“I—I used to, but I guess I stopped at some point,”

“Why?” You lift your head to look at his beautiful blue eyes.

“I’m 35, not married, no kids. Speak for itself,”

“Hmm,” you put your head where it was before. “But—I’m here now,” you said without any confidence.

“Indeed, you are,” Sonny squeezed you tighter to his chest. “Didn’t say I couldn’t believe in it again,” he kissed your hair. He felt you were smiling against his skin.

“I like to think that—we all have that one special person, you know? It doesn’t mean it always works out. You may not be the special person to your special person. But I think we all have that person you’ll never forget, no matter what,” Sonny was listening intensely to what you were saying. It makes sense, maybe you’re right. “You’re my special person, Dominick,” you concluded.

Maybe this was the most beautiful declaration of love Sonny never got. And in that moment, he got carried away. He grabbed your chin with his fingers and made you lift your head to face him. “Forever, then,” he said before kissing you deeply.

He said forever. But he never said you were his special person.

TITLE: Angel of Death

CHAPTER: 4/? (Chapter Masterlist)

CH. SUMMARY: Loki tells you to be careful, but you aren’t sure what to be careful of. Meanwhile, word spreads of the inevitable fate your past flames met.

WORD COUNT: 3755

AUTHOR NOTES/WARNINGS: no warnings i think (?); This was going to be infinitely longer than what it is, but I didn't want to drown you guys in like 20 pages of words so here we are with Chapter 4! I'm really enjoying writing this story, and I hope you guys are enjoying it too x (AO3 Link)

TAGLIST: @inumorph @literally-anythin

For hours, Loki sat with you under the dazzling moonlight. You admired the way his skin seemed to glow as he sat by the window. At one point, you had moved to the small seat to sit beside him, and you listened as he read a book aloud in foreign tongues. Where he got the book, you would never know, but you couldn’t find a reason to care. The way the language rolled off his tongue with ease calmed your raging mind, allowing for peace to be pleasantly bestowed upon you.

Before you knew it, the sun was rising in the east, prompting you to arise and ready yourself for the day to come. For the first time in quite some time, you found yourself not fully dreading the day. Perhaps the presence of a god was more beneficial than you had imagined; however, part of you still understood to some degree that Loki had done unspeakable things, things more grave than you could possibly imagine. He had offered no explanation for his past actions, and you weren’t sure if that was a good or bad sign. As you made your way down the stairs of your complex, bidding farewell to the God of Mischief, you were certain of one thing: Loki was a troubled individual, but he was kind to you.

“I can accompany you,” Loki offered as you basically shooed him off. You shook your head, smiling at the thought of an escort, but knowing that it would only draw unnecessary attention was enough for you to turn him down. “Do be careful, then.”

You weren’t expecting him to give up so easily, but perhaps he had recognized the fact that he had already stepped too close to the line in which he shouldn’t cross. Loki walked in the opposite direction, a green glow exuding from his body as his black clothing turned into a forest green top with black slacks. For a moment you were surprised that his outfit had changed on such an effortless whim, but then you were reminded that he was a god of many talents - the first and foremost being trickery. Shaking your head at his obvious use of magic, you turned on your heel to go on your way.

The sun kissed the horizon, golden rays of sunlight streaming into the city streets. It allowed a pale, ghostly glow to resonate off the buildings, producing warmth that melted the hearts of all it touched. Gentle smiles passed you by as your feet took you farther and farther from your home. The city was never one to sleep, nor was it one to stop and admire the sunlight. No, this city was filled with individuals who desperately needed the extra hours of work because if the city doesn’t sleep, they don’t either.

Your walk was more than pleasant, but the feeling that it wasn’t going to last was something you couldn’t shake. Every step felt like a brutal blow to a could-be perfect day. As you ascended the staircase to your workplace, you realized that every person you walked by had their eyes narrowed. The elevator was the same. At first, you thought that perhaps this was merely coincidence. Soon thereafter, you were assured that this wasn’t so.

Every person who would normally approach you with brazen smiles upon their faces seemed to wither away into corners, talking amongst other employees. Snickers and pointed fingers were directed at you from every seat in the room, and suddenly, you were very aware of Sarah, your closest colleague, and her gaze on you. When you attempted to meet her eyes, she turned away, pretending as if she wasn’t just looking at you.

Minutes later, another coworker approached her. You strained your ears, attempting to hear the hushed conversation that had everyone around you on edge. “Hey, Sarah.”

“Yes?” She spoke curtly in response.

These coworkers crowding around her were people that the two of you would typically frown upon. They were the instigators of all workplace drama, and to say the least, no one really liked them all that much - for good reasons, too. If your workplace was a high school, then the posse of gossip-loving individuals would quickly be the snarky bullies of the classroom.

“How’s it feel knowing you befriended a serial killer all these years?” One of them chimed in and you jolted in your seat.

The sudden movement caused you to bump into the glass of water you had placed on your desk, spilling the contents onto the carpet below you. As you hastily put the mug upright on a farther corner, you stood from your seat, gaining even more unwanted attention than when you had walked in. You reached for some tissues on your desk before kneeling down to place the flimsy paper on the ground. As you did so, a familiar hand aided you, laying down more durable paper towels to help soak up the moisture.

Sarah’s eyes met yours for a brief moment, and although you knew she was wary of the rumors, she quite possibly still cared about you. She had left the posse of annoying gossipers to help you. You, a person who was the center of rumors. You, a murderer trying to live a normal life.

“Y/L/N,” a voice called out. “Boss wants you in the office.”

You mouthed a silent ‘Thank You’ to Sarah before standing from your spot. With hesitant steps, you made your way to the large office that you had been in countless times before. An almost nonexistent smirk was on your boss’s lips as he shut the door behind you, proving that he, too, was feeding into the gossip. He motioned for you to sit in the chair across from his desk while he walked the short distance from the door to his own seat.

“A coworker of yours saw you getting arrested last night,” he tutted, hands folding on his desk as he looked you in the eye. “Furthermore, the police came in asking questions about you on your day off. Care to inform me as to what this is about, Miss Y/L/N?”

Just by the glint in his eyes, you could tell that this man had no interest in knowing the truth. How could he? You were seen getting escorted by a detective, and the police had already made their investigation known that you were someone of interest pertaining to a case. There was no way to brush it off.

“There,” you stuttered, “There’s been a misunderstanding. I wasn’t arrested; there were no cuffs. I just went into the station to be asked how I knew some of the victims of an old case.”

“Misunderstanding or not,” he pointed out, “It doesn’t look good for us, and seeing as though the media is on a rise about the old serial killer case pre-alien invasion, you can understand why the office is having a bit of difficulty keeping their focus on anything but you,” he stated.

“I’m sorry,” you attempted to apologize, but it came out more like a question if anything else. An eyebrow raised on your boss’s face as he stared back at you.

He heaved a heavy sigh, fingers clenching at one another as if there was a habit he needed to forget. The wrinkles on his forehead creased, his eyebrows furrowing in concentration as he thought of what to say next. One hand reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose while the other rubbed against his thigh aggressively.

“There’s no easy way to say this, Y/N,” he started to say. It was never a good sign when people started sentences like that because there was no way to gloss over the truth. “I’m going to have to ask you to stay home until this blows over.”

“What?” You asked, sitting up straighter. “Why? I can still work.”

The words you said seemed to plead with the man, ‘Please, let me keep this routine. Please, my sanity cannot take it if you take this away from me.’ But the unspoken words went unheard, and he held his hand up to stop you from speaking any further. You had no say; this was decided before you even stepped foot through the door. His smirk had wasted away over the course of your short interaction and was replaced with a look of disdain.

“Some of the employees, especially the males, are worried about your presence in the office,” he answered calmly. “While I may not have an issue with you being here, I can’t have over half the office on edge while working. Their wellbeing is important.”

‘And yours isn’t.’ His words were laced with the underlying meaning, weaving in and out of each word like a vengeful spirit out for your blood. Of course, you could understand the way they were thinking, and you were aware that you were far from innocent. However, that didn’t make you feel better at the fact that nothing had been publicly confirmed; yet here you were, getting kicked out of the office until further notice. How would you pay your bills without an income? Were you just supposed to rot in the streets?

“I hope you can understand,” he spoke again, voice like nails on a chalkboard. The words practically made your ears bleed. You nodded, not bothering to put up a fight to a decision that you had no say over. So, you stood up, dignity in tact, and walked out of his office.

The stares were harsh as you walked back to your desk to gather your things. Everyone’s eyes watched as you quickly pulled your jacket into your arms along with your bag and cellphone. You could hear the murmurs from around the office. They sounded like the pesky degrading voices from your nightmare the night before. All too quickly, you felt a familiar suffocating feeling growing within you. Your nightmares were practically coming true as each person who used to greet you happily now looked on with looks of contempt and disgust.

You stepped into the elevator as the doors fully opened, and when the doors were practically closed with only a sliver of the office to be seen, you heard the words, “Good riddance.”

You leaned back onto walls of the elevator, feeling the coolness of the metal seep through your clothing. Sighing, you tilted your head back and stared at the ceiling as the every so often beeping resonated off the walls of the small space. The you from just a couple hours before desperately wanted to laugh in your face at this very moment. It wanted to laugh and remind you that you were not meant to have happy moments - you were undeserving of such glorious things.

Peace was not a word fit for your vocabulary. Happiness, joy, peace, and all words pertaining to such heavenly emotions were no longer fitting for you or your way of life. Fear, anguish, desperation, and all words expressing such distraught and heavy emotion were much more suited for the likes of you. And as you emerged from the elevator onto the first floor, the welcoming eyes of a few late coworkers met yours, reminding you that the minute they arrived at work, their image of you would quickly deteriorate into something short of hatred.

You felt helpless as your feet touched the pavement outside of the building. Your friends were wary of you, your work was uninviting, and the police had your face in the database in big, italic, and bold lettering. Perhaps if you slipped away in the night, you’d be able to run away. But years ago, you had told yourself that running meant you were nothing but guilty. If you hadn’t meant harm, you would not have to run, right?

The inviting sunlight suddenly felt void of warmth. It was no longer something to smile upon or allow the ice around your heart to melt. It was nothing but cold, unfeeling light.

The smiles you had passed this morning were something of the distant past, and every face you seemed to register expressed sorrow, disdain, and palpable distress. Perhaps the city, too, could feel your pain, and she was speaking your emotion into the street. It was as if New York City herself was roaming the streets, whispering stories of irrevocable tragedy into the ears of all she passed. She was desperate in herself to ensure that you did not suffer alone.

For a moment, you found solace in the fact that you were not the only person walking the streets with such a sour heart nestled within your chest. Then you were repulsed by your own satisfaction in the unhappiness of others. You breathed in, hoping to inhale sanity alone with the elements you needed to survive, but you were only met with the smell of cigarette smoke and vodka as you passed a local bar.

You walked for a while. You walked until your feet felt heavier than your heart, and you walked until your mind was so riddled with the idea of sitting down that you had almost forgotten you had any troubles at all. But then you sat down on a familiar bench in a familiar park, and your heart was heavy yet again.

The singing of the birds and the soft gentle breeze that rustled the trees was anything but calming. Songs of the birds reminded you of the music in your dream the night before. The sunlight streaming through the trees reminded you of the blinding lights that surrounded such a surreal nightmare, and the rustling of the trees sounded like muffled laughter of the demons that cluttered your thoughts. If you closed your eyes, it was only that much worse, but you couldn’t complain.

To be honest, you weren’t sure how long you sat there. It could have been seconds or hours for all you knew. The feeling of the sun had grown slightly cooler as you sat beneath it, and you couldn’t decide whether or not you welcomed the chill that overtook your body or if you resented it.

A soft fabric fluttered on your shoulders as you stared into the distance, wishing to be anywhere but where you were. At first, it felt only like any other gust of warm air encircling your body, but then you caught sit of a plaid cashmere fabric resting on your shoulders. It was warm and friendly; the feeling made you feel safe before you felt threatened. But then the question appeared: Where had it come from? You glanced around, eyeing your surroundings before feeling a presence beside you.

“Did I not say to be careful?” A familiar voice spoke, his tone playful.

You turned quickly, eyeing the god standing before you. He was still wearing the outfit you had seen him effortlessly change into as he had walked down your block, and now that you had a clear view of him, he was stunning. His hair was pulled back into a small bun and his hands were behind his back as he stood underneath the tree beside the bench.

“I was careful,” you huffed, legs crossing as you stared back at the gorgeous god.

Loki chuckled - a pleasant sound that you needed to to hear. It was a soft sound of delight; despite everything you had heard about how merciless and cruel he was meant to be, there was a faint sense of innocence and kindness within him as well. You wanted to understand the conflict that took place within the God of Mischief, the feelings within him that played catch with his morals. You wanted to know him.

If a god, or a man, had shown such kindness and acceptance to you, then you wanted to be able to do the same for him regardless of all else. This didn’t have to mean that you turned a blind eye to wrongdoings or that you condoned any of the things he had done in the past, but you wanted to meet Loki halfway. You wanted to understand his mind and be able to say that he could be redeemed of whatever he seemed to believe he fell short of. He didn’t need to suffer, and he most definitely didn’t need to do so alone.

“Then why are you here right now instead of at work?” He inquired, a gentle and cautious smile adorning his nearly perfect features.

“I left early,” you responded. You weren’t lying, and part of you didn’t want to know if you could thoroughly lie to the God of Lies himself.

“For what reasons?”

“Well,” you began to say, not knowing entirely what the answer would be either way. “My presence was considered… undesirable.”

Loki nodded, his eyebrows furrowing with a look of anger or concentration. You weren’t sure what his features held, what emotions he held towards the subject. The two of you stayed silent for a few moments as the sun began to dip below the tree line. Loki stood like a sculpture of dignified proportion, carved from the most divine shade of marble fathomable, and as you watched him for any sign of change, you found yourself admiring him more than anything else.

“Come,” he spoke suddenly, turning to you.

You didn’t protest as he motioned for you to follow him; in fact, it felt nice to be walking with a destination set by anyone but you. Loki’s steps were light, barely audible as he walked a couple steps ahead of you. His eyes were fixed on the lowering sun when your surroundings suddenly changed.

The soft rustling of the trees and sounds of bustling individuals out for evening jogs were nowhere to be found. Instead, the silent chirping of birds and distant cars filled the silence as you took in your surroundings. You stopped walking, breathless as you realized that you had somehow managed to move quite a distance without barely moving at all. The grass beneath your feet rustled as the breeze shifted in your direction, and you almost asked the god as to how he had managed to get you here.

Loki approached you slowly, his eyebrows still furrowed as they were before you had arrived here. His pale hands reached for the shawl conveniently placed on your shoulders before taking it and laying it on the ground. He sat down smoothly, patting the space next to him to indicate that he wanted you to sit with him.

You sat quickly and clumsily, attempting to find a comfy position on the earth below. Your surroundings were familiar, and after a few moments of contemplation, you recognized it as Cedar Hill.

“What are we doing here?” You asked.

Loki turned to you before looking up at the sky, “I am not fully accustomed to the ways of your kind,” he stated. “However, I believe every being in every realm has taken a chance to admire their morning star set.”

“You,” you began, a small smile on your lips. It astounded you how at ease the god could make you feel sometimes, “Took me to watch the sunset?”

“No, I simply brought you here so I did not have to look upon this sight alone.”

You laughed lightly at his words. Although he seemed to say that he was not doing this for you, it still felt like he was doing you a favor. Killing two birds with one stone you supposed. A blithe smile appeared on his face at the sound of even the slightest bit of cheer, and you were thankful yet again for his presence.

When you turned to face the setting sun, you realized one of two things. The first being that the two of you were the only ones on the hill, which was usually not so in such a popular area; the second thing you realized was how lovely the atmosphere was. This was not to say that it was the perfect setting to a kiss - because it was - but, instead, it was a light, playful atmosphere you had not felt for years. Over the past 6 years, you stayed away from relatively everyone besides your family because you couldn’t bear the idea of dragging anyone else into the mess you had made for yourself.

You found yourself leaning back, using your hands to keep yourself inclined just enough to see the lavender and pink tint in the sky. The silence between the two of you was something you were quickly growing accustomed to, especially in such seemingly pristine moments like this. Just the presence of Loki besides you was enough for your heart to feel just a little bit lighter, and perhaps he had brought you here because your presence did the same for him.

As your eyes danced to keep track of the infinite colorful sky, you felt a hand touch yours. Loki’s pale fingers rested delicately on your skin, a fire much resembling an arctic breeze setting fire on the place his hand touched. Your eyes fell shut as you wondered for a moment how his fingers would feel entwined with yours or perhaps how it would feel to have such long, nimble fingers caress your body beneath the stars. Part of you desperately wanted to know his body and how it might fit with yours, but the other part of you screamed to let the daydream go.

Shaking away the thought, you opened your eyes to see that the god had been looking at you for who knows how long. He made no further movements besides touching your hand, and maybe that was for the best seeing as though you may not try to stop him despite all that has happened. Your cheeks flushed upon the realization that he had watched you immerse yourself, even if it was only briefly, into a small fantasy.

Loki did not make any remarks, nor did it seem like he had any idea of what was running through your mind. Instead, he looked back up to the sky, eyes shining with such splendor you wished to never look away.

“I have a confession,” he spoke suddenly, catching you off guard.

“Yes?” You asked, wondering if he would tell you that he was not a god. Maybe he would tell you that this was a hallucination, or perhaps you were still stuck in your nightmare from the night before. However, as your mind raked through the abundance of possibilities forming within your mind, Loki said the one thing you weren’t sure you wanted to hear.

“When I met you, I knew who you were.”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/751583/chapters/1403203

My Rating: 9/10

Great story. Would liked to see the Human! Derek x Human! Stiles develope a bit more

• Good Behavior by theSilence

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/8460571/1/Good-Behavior

Summary

The God Awful Courting Tactics Used to Woo Stiles Stilinski by Derek Hale.

My Rating: 8.5/10

Absolutely hilarious, Stiles and Derek at their finest (not). Only fault is that it’s short and the people need to know what happened after date 3.

• headlong (I’m falling in a) by hito

https://archiveofourown.org/works/295390/chapters/472650

Summary:

Kink meme fill: When Stiles goes to college, for some reason, he has to share an apartment with Derek, which sucks, because Derek still hates him the most. They fall in love.

My Rating: 8.5/10

Love Stlies and Derek learning to share breathing space and getting walked in on by the rest of the pack . Warning⚠️ Lydia is bonkers and power hungry.

• You Feel Like Home by thestreetballet

https://archiveofourown.org/works/383108

Summary:

"Derek, don't bully Mr Stilinski. He's had a bad few days."

My Rating: 9/10

I love love love Harry Potter AU sterek. Young Derek is desperately trying to look out for his newly found mate (young Stiles) while balancing prefect duties, pack life AND trying to keep said mating a secret from everyone including Stiles. This is part of a short series, read it all to get it. Warning ⚠️ Alpha Peter is bananas, lots of interspecies conflict.

• Can’t Take The Heat? by Ilovesocks_24

https://archiveofourown.org/works/810771/chapters/1530771

Summary:

“Hi, I’m Stiles, and what I have for you today is…”

“Stop, just stop.” Grumpy Eyebrows interrupted. “That is honestly the worst looking Pasta Primavera I have ever seen. I don’t even want to eat it, it looks so bad.”

Stiles narrowed his eyes. No one insulted his creamy bacon carbonara without even trying it. And no one insulted his creamy bacon carbonara after they tried it either.

“It’s actually a Creamy Bacon Carbonara, asshole,” Stiles snapped. “And for the record, it’s supposed to look like that.”

Or the one where Stiles is a new sous chef at Full Moon Steakhouse and Derek is the Gordon Ramsay of all head chefs. So of course they fall in love.

My Rating: 8/10

Pretty good. The story was more focused on Stiles journey as a chef so not as many fluffy moments but still pretty satisfying.

• Permanent Fixture by linksofmemories_archive

https://archiveofourown.org/works/518387/chapters/915659

Summary:

Derek is Scott's older brother. Stiles is Scott's best friend. Derek is falling in love with Stiles. This is a bit of a problem.

My Rating: 9.5/10

This story WILL make you CRY. I had a hard time rating this because it’s very slow burn with lots of angst but you can literally feel every emotion in the story so I had to give it the extra 0.5. Spoiler: Claudia called it.

•Fly a Little Faster by mirrorkill

https://archiveofourown.org/works/900839

Summary:

Everyone knows when you go back in time, you shouldn't step on an ant, just in case you accidentally kill your own grandparent or something. But what happens when you go back in time and, uh, accidentally interrupt the one event that apparently made the Grumpiest Alpha in Town into a ball of mindless manpain?

Well, if Marty McFly can do it, so can Stiles Stilinski. All he has to do is get Derek and Paige to fall in love before he gets pulled back to his own time. And before he makes anything worse. That's easy as pie, right? Right?

My Rating: 8/10

Such a creative. I only wish they had gotten to spend more time together in the past.

•Pack Up; Don’t Stray by the_deep_magic

https://archiveofourown.org/works/644874/chapters/1171121

Summary:

AU – Werewolves are an enslaved underclass, collared and tagged by human masters. Detective Stilinski’s on duty the night they bring in an untagged stray.

My Rating: 8.5/10

I like this story because their love was based on trust and respect. Just two people who needed each other, found each other and fought for each other.

•In the Solstice of our Hearts by raving revolution

https://archiveofourown.org/works/971008/chapters/1907773

Summary:

"You're not putting that up your butt," Scott told him flatly and Stiles couldn't stop the pissed off whine he made, but his friend continued. "Stiles, you can't put that up your butt, you know that. Your butt won't be ready for anything to go in it until-"

"Okay, okay!" he said, flailing his hands to stop his friend's lecture. "Message received, no butt stuff until I'm pounced on by some freaking animal in the forest and ravished to within an inch of my life. Got it. Thanks, Scotty, I mean heaven forbid I actually try to take control of my life and give myself a fighting chance or anything."

"Not all alphas are animals," Scott said quietly.

Maybe he was right, but Stiles wasn't holding his breath.

My Rating: 8.5/10

Interesting story but I wanted more fluff.

• No Homo by orphan_account

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1148039/chapters/2864236

Summary:

Stiles' sophomore year starts something like this:

3 FourLokos

+ 1 peer-pressuring cat

- 1 best bro to end all best bros

= 1 Craigslist ad headline that reads "str8 dude - m4m - strictly platonic".

Derek is the fool who replies.

My Rating: 9/10

This is one of my all time favorites. The author’s summary doesn’t even begin to do it justice. Firstly homophobic Stiles is just hilarious and adorable. Secondly this story is sooooo Hot🔥, bottom!Derek is amazing. Thirdly, just read it!!!!! You won’t regret it

• tongue of dog and blind-worm’s sting by Zercalo

https://archiveofourown.org/works/4896598/chapters/11229727

Summary:

In order to keep the identity of the teacher he's been seeing a secret, Derek's been withdrawing from his pack and family. Cora, frustrated with his alienation and a little lonely, clings to the first nonjudgmental person who offers companionship – which happens to be that odd Muggleborn Revenclaw who's always hanging around the Gryffindor common room.

She hasn't befriended Stiles for Derek's sake, but Derek just might reap the benefits anyway - if he pulls his head out of his ass and quit the stupid self-sacrificing act.

My Rating: 9/10

This is another Hogwarts AU where Cora is the best friend we all need. Derek’s dug himself into a pretty deep hole with Kate but Stiles might just get him out of it. Cute teenage courting ensues and once again we all need a Cora in our lives. Oh, and no biggie but there’s a mass murderer on the loose. Note: This story is part of a series.

• Rare Books and Special Collections by orphan_account

https://archiveofourown.org/works/5192954

Summary:

Derek Hale hates libraries.

Unfortunately, not all books can be ordered on Amazon.

(Or: in which Derek is a grumpy omega writer, and Stiles is an annoyingly attractive alpha special collections librarian.)

My Rating: 9/10

I love Omega! Derek. He’s an anti social writer who we just want to scoop up in our arms. Stiles’ idea of flirting is giving Derek books and library tours. Adorableness and Cluelessness ensues.

• Cornerstone by Vendelin

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1725518/chapters/3678122

Summary:

Suffering from PTSD, ex-Marine Derek Hale moves back to Beacon Hills to open a bookshop and find a calmer life. That’s where he meets Stiles, completely by accident. Stiles is talkative, charming and curious. Somehow, despite the fact that he’s blind, he’s able to read Derek like no one else.

My Rating: 8.5/10

I see this fic EVERYWHERE and it is pretty good but because it’s a pretty serious story it doesn’t have as much fluff. Derek’s got serious issues and Stiles is blind. However, I did love how Stiles shared so much of himself with Derek and how Derek slowly learned how to return the favor. I really appreciated the reality check.

•Pink Is For Pining (You, You, Nothing But You) by clotpolesonly

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15177281

Summary:

“You know you could just ask him out, right?” Scott asked.

Stiles stuffed the toast in his mouth and hoped he wasn’t blushing. “Why would I do that?”

“Because you have a ginormous crush on him.”

“I do not, shut up,” Stiles hissed as well as he could around a mouthful of toast.

“Your pink hair says differently,” Scott sing-songed at him.

***

In which Stiles is a supremely socially awkward metamorphmagus with a crush, Derek is a quietly pining werewolf, and Scott and Lydia are done with their stubbornness and stupidity.

My Rating: 9/10

I had to end off this rec list with Pink is for Pining and (surprise surprise) it’s another Hogwarts fic. This one is always in my top 3 because through Derek’s love, Stiles learns to love every part of himself. Alright, maybe I’m hyping this fic up too much (it’s REALLY short) but I’m a believer that one paragraph can make all the difference 😁

— treasure a as hogwart students

request: “Hogwarts house for treasure A plsss” a/n: a big thank you to @outofexits and @yedarnit for helping me out with this! ♡ i don’t know much about harry potter, so i apologize in advance for any mistakes you all find in this. if you would like more description as to why the boys are in a particular house or why i chose their patronus then don’t be afraid to send me an ask about it!

➯ lee byounggon

gryffindor

it took about thirty seconds for the sorting hat to decide that he ultimately belongs there

you want to go on adventure? byounggon is there!

he’s not afraid of anything and he will be there for anyone who needs to be protected

half blood

patronus ✧ dragon

keeper of his quidditch team

seunghun was the one who forced him to try out for the quidditch team even though they’re in different houses

“why do you want me to join? we’re in different houses, so we won’t even be together.” byounggon asked with a confused look upon his face

“because i want to see you lose and see me win!” seunghun shouted before he laughed and playfully put byounggon into a headlock

all jokes aside, but seunghun truly thought byounggon would be a good player

and not only that, but byounggon didn’t really seem to have a hobby until he joined the team (all thanks to seunghun who also noticed this)

he says that he hates studying, but he’s still one of the top students who excels the most in his history of magic class

in his third year, firstyear!junkyu stopped byounggon and asked him if he could help him find his classes

byounggon ended up guiding him to every class and even continued to be a little mentor for junkyu as he helped him settle down into the school

and that’s how they became friends

he understands the pain of being a first year and he also wanted to make sure junkyu was on the right path

byounggon used to be a prefect, but gave up his role because a majority of people found him frightening

he just wants to make friends uwu and he wanted to focus more on quidditch

now, he bribes prefects from taking points away from him whenever he causes a little hassle

“come on, yoonbin! i’ve been in your shoe before, so let me off this one time.”

“i can’t do that.”

“yes, you can. just pretend you didn’t see me. how about i do your homework for the next week? that’s a good exchange, right?”

➯ kim seunghun

hufflepuff

the sorting hat barely touched his head before it screamed out “hufflepuff!”

“wow, even i knew that.” seunghun muttered to himself before he ran off to the table filled with loving people who were ready to attack him with warm welcomes

seunghun is loyal to all of his friends and it’s super easy for him to detect someone who is not loyal to him

half blood

patronus ✧ brown bear

captain of his quidditch team + chaser

even though he’s such a sweet person, he values handwork and will be on anyone’s case if they’re not giving it their all (which is why he’s such a great captain)

one game, against the ravenclaw team, lasted for five days, but seunghun and the other captain decided to call it a tie because they both had a astronomy test to study for

herbology is his favorite class

everyone knows him

he’s popular in literally all of the houses and other student’s just can’t find themselves to hate him when he’s such a friendly person

sometimes, he bakes cookies for everyone when he gets bored

during one rough night, hyunsuk couldn’t stop crying over his family’s bigoted ways. seunghun was the first one to find him and made sure to stay by his side as he reassured him that nothing is his fault and that he can start to make a change in his heritage line

when he bleached his hair blonde, in honor of his house, byounggon couldn’t stop making fun of him because he looked like a lemon in his perspective

➯ choi hyunsuk

ravenclaw

he comes from a family line of ravenclaws

the truth is, he was in a hatstall between hufflepuff and ravenclaw

at first, he was conflicted because he didn’t know which one his heart truly wanted to be at

in the end, he chose ravenclaw to continue on his family tradition (his family also expected him to join ravenclaw, so if he was to choose hufflepuff, then there would be War In Their Household)

just like his family, hyunsuk is quite intelligent and puts a lot of thought into his choices

pure blood

patronus ✧ falcon

he’s pretty amazing at every subject, but he still remains to be horrible at flying

he could never get used to being off the ground, so he tries to stay away from flying as much as he can (unless he’s forced to then SIGHS)

one of his favorite class is charms

it’s his favorite because he personally likes giving objects unexpected properties and he generally likes making everything to look aesthetically pleasing

ravenclaw prefect

he’s such a nice prefect!!! he gives people warnings before taking away their points

he believes taking away points won’t teach anyone a lesson and everyone should learn how to better themselves one little step at a time

“jihoon, this is my warning to you.”

“this is already my 7th warning and i’ve never lost a point yet.”

“do you want to lose one now?”

“NOPE IM GOOD THANKS BYEEEEEEE”

➯ kim junkyu

gryffindor

some students have told junkyu that they would’ve guessed he would be a hufflepuff

since he comes off as someone who’s kind and patient

but that doesn’t take away the fact that he has a competitive nature, is determined, and is radiating with a new found confidence and bravery

half blood

patronus ✧ newfoundland dog

tends to gossip with his house ghost, “nearly headless nick”

he’s one of the quidditch commentator

screams a lot, but when he does so, people still love him as the commentator because it brings light comedy into the serious game

when he first came into the school, he lacked so much confidence

but as he grew as a person, his confidence level rose to the sky and he doesn’t seem to be the same scaredycat!junkyu he was in his first year

if you were to ask junkyu what his favorite subject was, then he’d just say “hmm, probably lunch.”

many students swoon over him because of his good looks

so around once a week, he receives chocolates from a variety of different students, but the chocolates usually contain a type of love potion

his go-to adventure partner is byounggon, since they’re both not afraid of anything

one time he missed his curfew and “the fat lady” portrait lied to him that the password changed (when it really didn’t), so seunghun took him in and let him sleep in his dorm for the night

➯ bang yedam

slytherin

the hatstall took around 4-5 minutes as the hat couldn’t decide between slytherin or hufflepuff

he has characteristics that perfectly fit both, but he has more stronger traits that fits with the slytherins as he’s a born-leader and ambitious

muggle born

patronus ✧ black swan

on his first day, he called the enchanted portraits “gifs” and everyone turned their heads to look at him as they questioned “wait what did you just say???”

his first friend was doyoung ( ु•⌄• )◞◟( •⌄• ू )

doyoung helped yedam come out of his comfort zone as he introduced him to people in and outside of their house

the lowest grade he has ever received was exceed expectations

since yedam can be a total softie, a group of traditional pure-bloods used to poke fun at him and call him a “mudblood”

although, they stopped bullying him once they found out that yedam is literally smarter than all of them combined and also because of the pranks he would do to get them back

in the beginning, he was so eager to learn new spells just to get back at those bullies!

now, he’s eager to learn so he can grow as a person and as a wizard

was a candidate to become a prefect, but they took him off the list once they saw all the mischievous events he was the mastermind behind

since he’s a muggle-born, he would get so surprised when his fellow friends and classmates don’t understand his jokes

“road work ahead? well, yeah, i sure hope it does.”

“what are you saying?”

“you know- that vine video.”

“vine?”

“waiT YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT VINE IS???”

➯ kim doyoung

slytherin

he was housed after fifteen seconds after the hat was placed on his head

some students are 100% sure the sorting hat placed him in the wrong house

but how could the sorting hat be wrong when doyoung is just as ambitious as the others and will put in all of the effort he has to achieve what he desires for

pure blood

patronus ✧ aardvark

similar to seunghun, he’s friends with everyone and he even tries him best to befriend everyone, not caring what house they belong in

but he still has a tight circle of friends that he prioritizes first

he’s probably the nicest boy in his house and he pretends he doesn’t hear other slytherins swearing out loud in the common room

speaking of the common room, he gets super!!!! excited!!! when he spots a creature by the lake whenever he’s in there

he seems to always wear his uniform in a careless manner and if you ask him why it’s because “it’s fashion and properly wearing my uniform isn’t underneath my rules.”

he’ll follow the rules, like the good boy he is, but doesn’t really mind if he breaks them

if anything, he can’t break his OWN rules he has made for himself

yedam’s partner in crime

got a countless amount of detentions because he’s yedam’s apprentice when he pulls pranks

during his second year, students finally accepted doyoung being a slytherin when they found him arguing with dohwan in the middle of their potion class

Rho Epsilon + The Ninjas

HI. SO THIS IS GONNA BE RLLY LONG. I’VE EXPANDED ON THE LORE OF MY OC, RHO. THANK U ALL FOR SHOWING HER SO MUCH LOVE! THIS IS A MASTERPOST OF HER BASIC INTRODUCTIONS/INTERACTIONS WITH ALL THE NINJAS. I HOPE YOU ENJOY?

Rho and Kai

She encounters Kai first out of the ninjas. Not while the group is on a mission or anything. She actually finds him in Skylor’s noodle shop, to nobody’s surprise.

They end up staring at one another from across the restaurant all throughout meal time. Rho is already fully aware that he’s one of the ninjas, as their identities aren’t exactly a secret. She’s just staring because he is and it is really weird.

Kai, on the other hand, is intrigued yet very suspicious. He asks Skylor who she is, and Skylor simply replies that she is a friend who stops by a lot. Since he knew Zane could help, Kai drags him out there one evening.

“She is just another Elemental Master. I detect no problems here. She is not causing any disturbances.” “Ya sure ok Zane w/e you say.”

Kai is 100% convinced Rho is hiding something for like the first month they know each other. This is ironic, as she ends up becoming one of the people he trusts most.

He often vents to her and discusses things he would probably not say otherwise. He’d never forgive her if he knew, but most of it at first was a result of her powers.

She wasn’t trying to pry or trick him into befriending her. She just noticed a lot of little things that were concerning. The way he’d trail off his sentences and leave them hanging during more serious chatter among the group. The rather foul and unfair things he’d mutter under his breath at himself. The way he’d stay up all night training after certain battles. It wasn’t a healthy outlet or way to cope! She thought that Wu may be the only other person who knew Kai did this.

For as vocal as he seems about what’s on his mind, there is an awful lot he keeps under lock and key. So it wasn’t exactly easy to get him to come out of his shell. It was even harder to use her powers on him subtly. She hasn’t used any means like that in a while, though. He still trusts her. She’s glad.

Rho and Zane

Zane was the one who decided to bring her to meet the other ninjas. Despite knowing the implications of her powers, he’s never had any misgivings about her.

Given that he is not technically living, it is much (much) harder and more complex for Rho to analyze his words. Because of this, Zane terrified her at first.

She respects Zane the most out of the ninjas. She takes his opinions very seriously.

There is something about him she is drawn to and can vibe with.

These two have tons of inside jokes.

She likes when he answers her questions about mechanics and tech. Jay and Nya are awful at explaining it.

The protagonist of one of the novels she’s written is inspired by Zane. She’d sooner die than admit it, though.

Rho and Jay

Easily her best friend. There is nothing she wouldn’t do for him.

On days he is feeling more down and out, she is sure to alter any quips the others try to make at his expense. Even if they are not intended seriously, in the wrong mood she knows he’ll perceive them that way. Zane usually frowns and gives her a look in response, because he can tell when she does it.

After figuring out what her power is, Jay repeatedly thinks to himself that he wishes she had been there when Nadakhan was around. What Jay does not know is that a previous Master of Language actually taught the djinn how to manipulate people’s words long ago. It was a very different time in history. Regardless, Rho would not have stood for Nadakhan at all if she knew of him. She would have been offended and found his actions a mockery of her family’s legacy. She would have been quick to remind him what that power should be used for.

Fun fact: Rho is head over heels for both Jay and Nya. It is a Big Problem and She Hates It but she is whipped.

Jay thinks it is priceless when Rho freaks out over the gadgets he and Nya make.

Their brands of humor combined are chaotic. They piss Nya and Cole off so much with their jokes. Kai and Zane are pretty indifferent. Lloyd finds them funny.

Rho and Cole

After meeting Cole, Rho pretty much can’t picture life without him.

She finds his presence extremely reassuring and comforting.

She actually enjoys his cooking? What? Girl are you okay? Don’t question it, I guess.

He asks her a lot about her powers and what she is able to do with them. He is also really interested in learning about languages that are no longer spoken.

SHE LOVES HEARING HIM SING. Or speak, for that matter. His voice is very unique, in her opinion.

They absolutely work out together. He’s even sent her his playlist.

While she really sees the others more as friends than family, Cole is definitely like a brother to her.

Rho and Nya

She’s the one who convinced Rho to stay with them. Nya even taught her how to pilot the Bounty in case of emergencies.

Rho is absolutely impressed by Nya and tries to be more like her in everything she does. Whether it be training harder, or even the way she conducts herself in the face of adversity. Nya would likely tell her it’d be more beneficial to find her own strengths rather than chase after someone else. And she’s right. But still…

She makes so many water puns while talking to Nya. Most of them actually go over Nya’s head.

She loves stealing Nya’s clothes and wearing them. They’re a bit too small for her, but no regrets. Yes, she always washes and returns them the day after. Yes, she is obsessed with Nya’s fashion sense. Mainly because she herself has none.

Most of the time, Rho and Nya will just sit in comfortable silence. Usually while Nya reads books that Rho has recommended her.

They definitely have the same taste in television shows.

Rho loves snuggling with Jay and Nya on the couch on cold days. She’ll be a jerk and slowly creep her way up there with them if she walks in and they’re watching movies or smth.

Rho and Lloyd

SHE IS OBSESSED WITH LLOYD. She always dotes on him. She’ll jokingly call him her little brother, even though she doesn’t really see him as a brother in the same light she sees Cole.

“Hey, look what my coOL LITTLE BRO DID TODAY! YEAH! HE DID THAT! MY BABY BRO!”

She’s called him “Lloyd Montgomery” rather than just “Lloyd” since hearing his middle name. Nobody really knows why.

He’s taught her so much? She wasn’t even expecting him to.

She was very shocked to find out he and Wu are related.

He plays pranks on her if she is in a bad mood. It usually cheers her up.

Her favorite person to play videogames with. The others get too salty. Lloyd is actually fun.

She appreciates his willingness to listen and heart that seeks to reach understanding with others. They’re some of his strongest traits to her, even if he struggles to stop seeing it as weakness.

Bonus: Rho and Wu

They meditate together often.

She soaks in any and all wisdom Wu has to offer. Even things she’d rather not have to hear.

Tea? Tea.

Both literal and metaphorical tea. The two enjoy each other’s company a lot? It is odd. A very odd duo.

Much like Zane, Wu will be very disapproving of her trying to use her powers on people aside from combatant purposes. No matter how slight or what the reason, Wu will always have a talk with her after.

He warns her of the dangers awaiting one who consistently bends people’s perspectives and words to their will. He confronts her by asking how she would grow if all she ever heard was the things she wanted to. He reiterates that it isn’t fair, and that there is freedom in being alive. Freedom to hold opinions and behave accordingly. He warns that he will stop her if she starts to impede on that freedom within others.

Even so, he believes strongly in her good nature. But, as we know, he also strongly believes in his experience with a certain student. He knows it is his responsibility to crush the seeds of evil before they can sprout.

This is the end of part two. Jesus this was a wild ride, which was not softened by the formal introduction into Markus’ story. The way this game is made is incredible the small movements of the characters to the little things like small smiles and the movement of the eyes closing are amazing this is one of the most beautiful games that I’ve seen in a long time. And the music for this game I definitely will be finding the sound track after I’ve finished this game because this music is stupendous. It has the best tension in the right places, but it also lets you breathe with the soft sounds. I absolutely love this game.

Ok now to the characters, first up was Markus in this chapter. It was cool that I got to know more about his character, and he so far has the best employer and is the most unlikely android to die at the hands of his owner. But Leo is the fly in the soup, I really don’t want to be right but I definitely think that he will do something to Markus and that makes me very concerned. I hope there is a lot more nice weather before a storm rolls in metaphorically speaking, because this boy deserves good things. Like I wouldn’t get bored if in between the other stories I had a breather playing Markus’ character.

Carl is a lovely person and the fact that he treats Markus with the respect that he would treat anyone is great. I don’t really know anything more about his character however since this is the first time meeting him and the obvious clues that he enjoys reading, playing the piano, playing chess, and collecting the remains of dead animals of now and prehistoric animals.

Leo has a tiny bit more to to his character. Firstly he is the son of Carl, a rich painter who obviously had a well off life. And when we first hear about him we find out that he doesn’t call his dad so it is just Markus and his dad all the time. Which then leads to him hating Markus due to the fact his dad like Markus as well as him which leads me to believe he was an only child and never had to share his parents attention with anyone until Markus became the live in help. Also Leo must have fallen in with the wrong rich crowd and now has a drug problem which what ever is allowance is can’t cover. So all in all his character is basically a rich white boy, who feels like his dad owes him more than what he is given and the fact that Markus is the ‘better sibling’ to Carl, (I’m using loose terms to describe this relationship.) it makes him resent his father and hate androids. So his character will either go to rehab, or the more likely options steal from his father, or kill his father and, or Markus for the money and attention.

In second chapter we got back Connor! Yay I thought that I would have to play through again to have any story with Connor in it and I’m so glad that I was wrong. I like his story the most, it is fun playing detective, and apart from the attic scene where I thought I was going to get him killed, this was the most fun chapter of the second parts. Connor is real literal character, his way of doing things is straight to the point. There is no hesitation with him deciding to do something that will complete the mission, or if there is something that is not a possibility he will immediately disregard it. Which could lead to trouble down the road with him taking things too literally and missing things that people with an imagination wouldn’t. This isn’t me ragging on him, because I love Connor’s character, but the way that the writers for this game has set him up is to make this character trait highlighted to the viewers. And that means that this may become a problem if objectivity and empathy are a choice. This is a good thing because the right and wrong choices could be one or the other or none. This will make Connor such an interesting character to play.

Hank, now this is a character that is in my favourite character tropes, A jaded old detective who has seen too much, and hates the world, but does his best to protect the city and the people he loves. But in saying that I really hope Connor and Hank become partners. There’s nothing like a disgruntled old jaded police officer teaming up with a young fresh from the academy officer. I really like that trope especially when they become best friends. But in saying that Hank seems to be the guy that cares too much rather than cares a little. Some of the examples I’ve seen are When he tells Connor off for putting the blood in his mouth. Him semi praising him when he gets the ‘what happed here’ questions right. And lastly when the deviant is found he immediately requested backup. I don’t think he hate-hates androids but I do think that he has a personal grudge against one. Which will make Connor befriending him a hard but not impossible.

The last chapter was back with Kara. Kara, jeez, I’m so glad that she is an android because the therapy that would cost her and Alice after being abused by Todd and not to mention Kara shooting Todd, and Alice witnessing it would be a small fortune. Kara I’m glad that she got the chance to defend Alice because I probably would have put the game down if it just let me stand there and had Alice beaten within an inch of her life or murdered. This would be one of the few reasons that I would put a game down like this. I will never support a game that murders people that are innocent, which is a bit ironic from me since I did shoot Todd. I can see that my words are a bit hypocritical. But I will not watch or play a game where victims are murdered just for shock value, especially in a game like this. Anyway Kara’s character is going to be more like a surrogate mother to Alice, and will have to look after the best an android can. I don’t know how well that will go but I am rooting for the both of them to survive.

Alice, jeez this game really knows how to make my heart bleed. Every time I see her it is just me wanting to get her out of Todd’s reach and safe. I don’t know exactly how old she is but I’m willing to bet with the height of her she is under 10-years-old. I hope she will be ok, this is a lot for a little girl to process. She has just lost her father, her home, and the life that she knew. She will lean on Kara heavily after this especially since Kara has proven that she is the number one priority in Kara’s programming. This will be a very trying time with the girls and I don’t know that Kara and Alice will make it without at least fighting with one another once.

Ok guys now for the predictions:

Markus will find Leo stealing or have killed Carl.

Or Markus will be killed by Leo.

Hopefully Markus will play the piano, read, play chess, or paint again.

Markus and Carl go to the art exhibition, andmaybe I get to chat with some people.

Connor becomes friends with Hank. This one will happen, I promise.

Connor freaks more people out with his taste testing.

Connor works more police cases.

Kara and Alice adjust to being homeless and hopefully find an android friendly shelter.

And lastly Kara and Alice are happy.

Jesus guys this game is really hitting me hard but this is probably the worst that could happen right. I mean I can only kill my characters and some NPCs if I have a gun or weapon so I should be fine. I definitely won’t purposely kill Connor, Kara, or Markus. You would have to take the controller away from me to do that. And I don’t think any of the androids can use a gun other than Kara and I’m positive that she left it at the house. So that should stop NPCs from dying.

So I was thinking about Kaede would have been like as the protagonist. (Her relationships and the way she develops in the story)

And I’ll say it now I actually really love Shuichi. He might be my favorite protagonist (him or Hajime). So yeah!

Warning: Spoilers!

Character:

What I liked about Kaede in the beginning of the game was that she was different from other protagonists. She was more confident, assertive, and stubborn. I noticed all the protagonists have issues with self esteem like Hajime with his lack of talent. Shuichi doubts his detective skills and fears facing the truth, and Komaru believing she’s just a regular normal girl who can’t do anything. Naegi didn’t think much of himself and his talent, thinking he was just a regular guy. They all overcome their insecurities through the story and become more confident by the end of it.

I don’t mind that type of character development but considering it was done three times before I was slightly disappointed after thinking about it a little bit.

Now where i’m going here is that Kaede wouldn’t have that type of development considering she’s more confident in herself.

I was thinking her optimism and trust in others could change as the story goes on. She starts off trying to be the leader but as more murders occur she starts having less faith in others, but be more realistic. (paralleling to her old self before the game and how she said she doesn’t have faith in humanity).

Not to say it’s a bad thing as long as you don’t drown yourself into paranoia, but I could see Kaede’s ideals of teamwork and friendship falling apart a bit in her mind as the game goes on and not be exactly the same by the end.

She would have thoughts on defeating the mastermind through the entire game. In chapter six, I can imagine her be like Keebo in a way and try to defeat the mastermind but not see the real mastermind, the world. It’s not until Shuichi or the other suriviors get her to realize they can’t follow the hope vs despair thing.

When it comes to her reaction to the fact her life is literally a lie, I would think she would show more anger and disbelief than Shuichi. She might breakdown even more considering she was trying so hard to lead everyone and solve all this for them but to find out everything she knows is a lie she might break down like Shuichi did.

In the end I think she would rise up and remember the memories made in the game to help her live her new life. Kaede’s development would how her becomes more jaded in a way in the game but in the end because of her new friends she can live life facing forward. So happy ending yay!

Relationships: (this is more toward main story relevant characters like Shuichi, Maki, Kaito, and Ouma) (some relationships may have more detail than others because these are ideas that just popped into my head)

Shuichi: I personally believe if Kaede lived longer Shuichi would have a little romance sideplot like Maki and Kaito so this is going a more romantic route. So this is hypothetically if Kaede didn’t try to murder the mastermind or if was no time limit on the first murder. I think Kaede would try to encourage Shuichi to be more confident and he slowly does thanks to her. It would sorta be like Kirigiri’s and Naegi with how they would work together to solve the mysteries. (In the end the relationships are different because they’re different people). Shuichi would notice how Kaede would get more jaded as the game went on as try to cheer her up and be by her side as her trusted partner. Basically they would try to support each other. If Shuichi were to die I think it could in Chapter 5 (because shit goes down in chapter 5). If he murders I can picture it be like Chiaki’s case where Ouma could try to save everyone with a different plan but it got foiled by the mastermind, they would manipulate it to cause Ouma and Shuichi to die (Shuichi murdering Ouma accidentally). Shuichi would tell her to lead everyone to the truth and thank her for encouraging the whole game,) giving her his hat, and Shuichi was about to tell her more but Monokuma would then execute him. If Shuichi is a surivor he would probably clash with Kaede in Chapter 6 about how to go about the reality. She would try to lead everyone to “hope” to defeat the mastermind but Shuichi would try to tell her that this is what the audience wants. They would basically argue about what to do exactly. In the end I think they would show a lot of support for each other and it would imply they would like each other. Personally I think their relationship had a lot of potential and it was really disappointing and I would love to see where it could have gone (romantic and friendship wise).

Maki: I honestly believe Kaede and Maki wouldn’t get along right away. Kaede would probably be more stubborn to get into her lab and she would be a bit suspicious of her for trying to hide her lab. While Maki would find Kaede annoying for getting into her business. When Maki’s secret get out, I think Kaede would be more cautious than Shuichi was. But it’s not until Kaito get him, Shuichi, Maki, and Kaede together to get Maki to open up she’ll see Maki in a new light. Since Maki would try to open herself to other people, she would try to make amends with Kaede and try to befriend her. I think this relationship would have been cute, like imagine them talking about their little crushes on Kaito and Shuichi. I remember when official art of Kaede and Maki was first out and I was excited to see what the relationship was going to be like but oh well.

Kaito: I find this relationship interesting with how he actually did interact with her before Kaede died. He would try to go to her first about Maki and try get Kaede to see she’s a good person despite her outer appearance. Since Him and Kaede were the most positive ones in the group so I can picture him fully supporting her and both of them try to encourage Maki and Shuichi. I feel like they would have that type of dynamic where they would tease each other a bit but they’re good friends.

Ouma: So my first thoughts go back to Ouma’s last words to Kaede. “Well, Kaede, you definitely weren’t boring.” To be honest, I think that’s high praise from him. In the game, everyone was just leaving Ouma alone and letting him do as he pleases until Chapter 5. I think because of Kaede’s ideas of working together she would actually try to understand Ouma from the get-go. He would think she’s interesting for trying to understand him but be cryptic with her. In a more lighthearted note, I think he would mess with her quite a bit because Kaede would have those type of reactions that would be entertaining to watch, like her trying to stand her ground. He could embarrass her about Shuichi and I always thought it be be funny if he would lowkey flirt with her and Shuichi to mess with them. In one fanfic I read, Kaede kabe-doned him to catch him but he motorboated her to get her to let go and I was laughing so hard at that.

So yeah these are all my random thoughts on Kaede being protagonist. Kaede has so much potential as a character, and it’s a shame it went to waste like this in my opinion. I think her personality could have added a lot to the dynamic between the characters. I could write a “Kaede lives” fanfic but I honestly don’t trust myself writing the trials and the investigations without messing it up. But thanks for reading if you made it this far. Sorry all of this was messy but I really needed to express my thoughts. Feel free to tell me your ideas or opinions.

Tick tock and why Eurus could be moftiss?

Fat mycroft in TAB “tick tock”

Moriarty in tfp “tick tock”

Both presumably relate to emotional revelation for sherlock but realistically we don’t actually see that, with clarity by the end of s4, do we?

Eurus literally tells us what the point in Moriarty’s tick tocking is, I can’t remember the exact phrase and I’m on mobile, currently travelling, but it’s to exert pressure right? Emphasising the emotional context.

Eurus refuses to give a timeframe in which she will shoot the governor’s wife because the ambiguity increases the pressure on Sherlock and emphasises the emotional context.

Mycroft’s tick tock moment in TAB has been theorised about before. But broadly speaking we can take it on a few levels: surface narrative- Sherlock is about to embark on a case that’s going to uncover the enemy they must lose to which is portrayed as essentially the central point of the episode (on the surface level)

A deeper reading is that the tick tock applies to Sherlock’s emotional revelation that’ll lead us to johnlock (very basic summary and I can’t find links to previous metas but I hope someone can? Again.... mobile app!)

Okay so my thought is that because mycroft is often considered to be a mouthpiece for moftiss we know that moftiss want us to hear them saying “tick tock” and that that means what I’ve outlined above.

But then we have the fucking weird tfp, and moriarty saying tick tock because Eurus wanted him too, so she could use it for her plan regarding sherlock- the purpose of the tick tock phrase being to exert pressure and emphasise emotional context.

This makes me think, should we see moftiss as Eurus here- the person responsible for writing in the line “tick tock” into tfp.

And if we are supposed to see Eurus as a manifestation of Moftiss then what can we draw from that?

That Eurus knows the full story of Sherlock’s history (that on the face of it even Sherlock doesn’t know) - here I’m talking about the red beard incident as the surface narrative but Sherlock’s homosexuality and emotional journey as the meta level- that moftiss have always known.

But literally no one wanted to play with Eurus, not even Sherlock.

So does this mean no one wanted a gay adaptation- or indeed an adaptation that presents sherlock as what he clearly is, which is not a cold and calculating machine? Also that those traditionally taking up the role of detective when it comes to Holmes adaptations as being unable to see the truth, his real character no matter how badly disguised (explains why there are 3 representations/disguises is Eurus perhaps?- and that’s why one is Faith: the honest faith they put into their audience to observe rather than merely see. One is a therapist- the fact that they know it’s their role to make the confusion and repression clearer to us. And lastly we have Eurus- this emotionally bankrupt being who wants to torture Sherlock into remembering his past. She’s not a good person, but she is troubled and she does need forgiveness (at least that’s what the surface narrative tells us), and that this forgiveness only becomes apparent after sherlock has literally broken the 4th wall. Not just that actually, broken the 4th wall to walk into a plane, where one side of Eurus is literally a crying child.

I think, maybe, that this means we are supposed to know we are still on the plane, still on that fucking tarmac! And that we are supposed to forgive moftiss after the ordeal is over because in spite of their crimes they only ever wanted to “befriend Sherlock” and show his true self and past, but haven’t been able to, purely because they’ve been misunderstood. By the way I am absolutely not advocating this response if you feel like you can’t forgive them, I’m just freestyling here.

I don’t know if this has been talked about before but I feel like a self-insert would fit with what moftiss we’re doing with the absurdity of tfp and s4 overall. And the fact that their self-insert character so obviously doesn’t belong in the universe.

Is this why they were so unresponsive and ambivalent toward the backlash of tfp- “good isn’t really good” etc.

I’m not sure I can go any further than this. But yeah there you are... ponderings of sherlock whilst in Nepal.

@shylockgnomes what do you reckon and do you think any of your friends might have some cool ideas?

We have a new citizen in Mount Phoenix:

Skadi, the Goddess of Hunting and Winter, whose origins stem from Ancient Scandinavia. She is now a City Council member and detective at the MPPD.

FC NAME/GROUP: Choi Sooyoung/SNSD GOD NAME: Skaði / Skadi (Mortal Name: Goong Eui-jin) PANTHEON: Norse OCCUPATION: Detective at MPPD, Partial PI during not so heavy work days (and depending on the case); I would also like for her to be on the City Council (and maybe thread about it also) HEIGHT: 5”7 WEIGHT: 50kg DEFINING FEATURES: Sharp, piercing eyes that flicker blue during moments of high emotion, Seriously flawless hair (I mean seriously look at it), tall, intimidating stature. impeccable fashion sense

PERSONALITY: Skadi likes her independence and being given a wide berth of privacy and personal space, especially when meeting new people. Though quite distant, she is never rude (without reason), and tends to opt for polite indifference when dealing with strangers. She can be quite intimidating if you let her stature and eyes get to you; she is a proud, confident woman who has no space in her body for meekness. However, she is anything but dismissive, and can be accommodating enough, provided that you respect her in return. This stems mostly for her strong belief in the idea of karma; that whatever you throw out will eventually find its way back to you.

The giantess has also been known for her strong sense of righteous justice, as evidenced by the famous tale of her seeking revenge against the gods for her father’s death. This is also a testament to her unwavering loyalty to those who matter to her, as well as the extent of just how frightening she could be when you cross her. (See history)

While associated with Winter, she is seen more as a benevolent goddess to help you get through the weather than actually one who brings it. She radiates steadfastness and resilience; attributes one needs to get through the months where there seems nothing. The coldness and scarcity of abundance is not an enemy to her; rather it is what gives her strength and was beneficial in molding her into what she has become. In that vein of thought, Skadi could actually be seen as a bit of an optimist, in that she believes there is always something out there to find even when it looks like there isn’t, but she sees it more as just her being stubbornly persistent.

She has had children with a couple of mortals, and those she bears all go through their own personal ‘winters’ – under her guidance, of course. Like the she-wolf, she looks carefully after her young, but once they show signs of being capable and independent she is sure to step back and let them take charge of themselves. She cares for her children (both actual children and those who worship her) and do make sure to check in on them every once in a while; but most of them have inherited her preference for independence and freedom, so she’s sure to do it at a respectful distance.

HISTORY: Comfort.

It had taken her millennia to realize what was missing after her father’s death.

Þjazi was the world to her. She was but a babe in god years when the Æsir took him from her. She dressed for battle, bringing a plethora of weapons and her righteous fury, and stormed the halls of Asgard, all seething, chilly ice. She demanded from them the recompense for which was given to gods that had been slain by others – the life of the killer.

They were loathe to lose one of their own, knowing that her father had been in the wrong to begin with, yet Odin did not see it fit to provoke her anger, and opted instead to try and soothe the giantess wrath. They say it was her fearsome beauty that did it, that let the gods see the righteousness of her demand; or the unbridled fury that radiated from her. The goddess herself does not know and perhaps never will. It wasn’t important at the time.

They offered her other terms of payment, and with each passing offer her patience grew thin–until they proposed something else.

Marriage! they had offered, for they saw her eyes flicker ever so slightly to Baldur’s direction. Another man to replace the one that she had lost, for her to shower with love and partake comfort in. She stilled, but for a moment, but it was all it took for the trickster to realize what he had to do.

Laughter! Loki had figured as he tied his parts to a goat’s beard and rendered himself at the mercy of her judgement. Laughter to replace the sorrow and disdain, and perhaps she would be more reasonable to deal with, to accept one of the gods in place of her father.

Honor! Odin had promised, not just for her, as she would join their ranks upon marriage, but also for her father. The elder god took Þjazi’s eyes and flung them into the night sky, now reborn as the brightest, most beautiful stars.

Everything had sounded… so comforting at the time.

But the stars never seemed as bright as her father’s eyes did when he looked at her fondly during their hunts. The laughter and mirth was too sudden and short-lived, and lasted less than the pain that the sly god had endured for. And Njord – bless his old soul – as great as he was, could never fill the void that was left by the late giant.

It was a marriage doomed from the start, as he was a god of the Summertime, and she of Winter. But they had cared enough for the other to compromise their own personal comforts for the sake of their union. Nine on the mountain, nine on the sea – until it became far too uncomfortable to bear for both. In retrospect, perhaps, she had expected him to be more like her father, not realizing his greatness was of a different kind. And perhaps he should have also treated her less like one of his court, that someone like her could learn to love the briny depths of the sea, when her heart sung for the chill of the mountains, and the embrace of the snow.

She comforted herself in the fact that despite their failed marriage, they remained on pleasant terms. She doted after his children much like her own, and supported the marriage of Freyr and Gerðr, even as it mirrored too closely hers, and she feared for the discomfort it would cause his heart. She comforted herself with the welcome from her new family, a new one in place of her old, and it would do, for a time. Later on Odin would grant her a family of her own, her offspring eventually all growing up to claim their own kingdoms and make their own homes. And Loki, even after boasting to be first and foremost at her father’s murder, had paid for the discomfort he caused her… one way or another.

Perhaps it was the foreignness of Asgard to her home in Þrymheimr. Surely, her father’s hall, with the familiarity of the gentle snow and the strength of its sturdy mountain peaks, could offer some comfort. For a while it did, and she was content – until the nostalgia seeped into her bones and wore her down harder than any cold would, and the sight of emptier corridors weighed on her fragile heart. It was not her home anymore, she had realized a little too late. It had stopped being that ages ago, but she had mistaken familiarity for comfort.

Everyone else had a home they could return to, somewhere or someone they could find solace in. She would find her own, she thought, as she fled from her mountain to travel to another’s. It was just another prey to catch, and if there was anything she was good at, it was that. Yet every time it seemed like she thought she had finally found it, it would slip from her grasp. It was like a familiar dream she tried hard to remember, but just couldn’t.

She starts again, and ventures forth to another mountain, her soul weary but never wavering. Persistence was second nature to her. The winters had shaped her to endure and persevere–and she would. But she hoped – Odin hang her – that this was finally where she would catch it.

POWERS:

Hunting

Flawless aim – she can hit anything when using a bow or spear. Her aim is still better than others by leaps and bounds when using other weapons (throwing knives, blades, etc) but it is possible for her to miss when not using her preferred weapons, and under the certain circumstances (a faster enemy, her in a weakened state, etc).

Master Tracker – she can hunt down anything. Gods with abilities to hide themselves are an obvious exception, though it is still possible given the right circumstances (target is weakened, etc.)

Animal Affinity – she has a slight charm when it comes to dealing with animals associated with hunting, or pack animals (wolves and dogs mostly, but also some foxes, and some birds of prey). She still needs to befriend them thoroughly, especially if they are wild, but they have a liking for her, and she, them.

Ski-dis / Winter Deity

Lighter than snow – she can walk across snow easily without leaving footprints. She is also faster when traveling on it.

Unfrozen – cannot be frozen even in severely low temperatures.

Winter Wolf – being in wintry weather significantly heightens her abilities and allows her to enter a certain, slightly feral state. In this state, she is twice as territorial, and her hunting abilities are enhanced. Unless she knows you particularly well, it is best to stay out of her range. She will literally hunt down anyone seemingly foreign to her, so new friends must stay on guard.

Cold Rage – heightened emotions and stress can make the goddess’ immediate surroundings drop in temperature. The expanse of its range, as well as how quick the temperature drops depend on her current physical and emotional states and the general climate. At her strongest, however, the most she can do is about 100 yards (the length of a football stadium). It drains her excessively afterwards.

STRENGTHS:

Winter Sports – She is exceptionally adept at travelling over ice and snow so she is naturally gifted at skiing, ice skating, sledding and snowboarding.

Fashion Sense – while not actually a gift, it’s something she’s developed over time. She likes dressing up and looking her best, because first appearances matter to her, and she never wants to look unprepared.

Steel Stomach – she can eat most anything (anything) and live through it relatively unscathed and without a reaction or complaint. Millennia of hunting, foraging and living through the endless winter that she calls home naturally developed her stomach to, well, stomach most food.

WEAKNESSES:

Sunsitivity – being a creature of the winter, she is extremely sensitive when it comes to sunlight. While she’s managed to be able to walk around during sunny days, prolonged exposure to sunlight (or the presence of overzealous sun gods and demigods) can weaken her immensely.

Seagulls – As a consequence of her compromise with Njord during their marriage, the sound of seagulls (and sometimes even their presence) greatly affects her mental state. She gets more irrational and emotionally vulnerable around them especially when exposed for extended periods of time, and at a close range. She can kill them, of course, but she’s often too frozen (hehe) on the spot with fear/disgust/anger that she can’t.

Saltwater – while she is a relatively good swimmer, swimming in saltwater slowly weakens her over time. When doubled with sunny weather, she is prone to ‘drowning’ right there in the water. She has also shown slight seasickness when out on a boat for extended periods of time, which is why she only travels by land or by air.

Close Combat – Her best weapons are the bow and the spear, typically mid- and long-range weapons. While she’s an excellent hunter and is well versed in a number of weapons (As most Norse gods are), she is not as physically strong as the others and can be overcome a lot easier with close combat.

Family – she has a soft spot for members of her family, especially those of Njord, Freya and Freyr’s line, and will willingly put herself in harm’s way for them.
