I have a feeling we aren’t in the 21st century anymore! (Chapter 2)
AU Young Leto Atreides x fem! reader
Tumblr media
Summary: You find yourself in a time and place you aren’t familiar with. Now trying to find your way home, you come across a man unlike any other.
A/N: The reader’s dialogue is in pink and Leto’s is in blue. Also, thoughts will be italicized.
The first thing you feel when you wake up is a coolness on your forehead. Reaching for your forehead, you feel a wet rag there.
You then open your eyes to see that the same man that you were talking with earlier seems to be in conversation with some medics (you’re assuming). However, you notice that these individuals tending to you seem to have a diamond tattoo on their forehead. Also, you seem to be wearing some sort of gray hospital-looking gown instead of the clothes you came in.
____________________________________________
So many thoughts are running through your mind right now.
How did I end up so far into the future? Last night, I was sleeping in my bedroom and I woke up in some strange place. A planet to be exact. This has to be some weird fever dream. Maybe I finally cracked under pressure and this is a result of that.
Yes, that’s what this is…A fever dream. The sooner I come to terms with that, the sooner I’ll wake up in my room and in my own time.
As you are trying to reason with yourself, the handsome man and medics notice you’re awake and speak up.
“You gave me quite a scare, my lady. When I caught you in my arms, I felt your forehead and you were burning up. Therefore, I thought it was best to bring you here where my medics can take care of you.”
You nod, not trusting yourself to say anything.
“Don’t be afraid, my lady. I don’t wish you any harm. I just want to help you”, he says, taking your hand gently to his to soothe you.
Great! I really must be losing my sense of reality for the handsome man to be this gentle and kind with me. Why does this have to be a dream?
“Get some rest, my lady. We’ll talk later.”
He then takes your hands and gives them a gentle kiss. You blush as you feel his beard tickle your hands.
The handsome man then walks outside with the doctors following him.
Though this is nice, I can’t stay here.
_________________________________________
Leto walks out to talk with his medical team away from you. He feels you’re afraid right now and doesn’t want you to be anymore than you already are.
Leto can’t figure it out but there’s something about you that draws you to him. Not just in looks but in the way you presented yourself to him so far.
“Make sure to keep me updated on progress every hour.”
The medics nod and make notes of this.
“Thank you.”
Leto walks away to let the medics get back to caring for you.
He isn’t too far away from the medics calling him, telling him that you were no longer laying down where he last left you.
Where did you go?

I have a feeling we aren’t in the 21st century anymore! (Chapter 1)
AU Young Leto Atreides x fem! reader
Summary: You find yourself in a time and place you aren’t familiar with. Now trying to find your way home, you come across a man unlike any other.
Everyday the same thing happens. You go to work. Tend to your responsibilities at home. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
Though you know you should enjoy the monotony of knowing how and when things are going to happen, you can’t help but still yearn for more to do with your life.
Despite getting your degree and finding a part-time job to pass time until you are able to find a more permanent career path, you can’t help but feel as if you aren’t living your life the way you should be. Still in your early twenties and have no idea what you’re supposed to be doing with your life. Nevertheless, you go by the motions because you hold onto the hope that one day everything will fall into place as it should.
After finishing your nightly routine, you get into the sheets of your bed and close your eyes. Believing that what you’re seeking out of life will find you soon.
_________________________________________
When you wake up, you are shocked to see that you are no longer in your room. Instead, you seem to be inside a passageway of some kind that looks to have been abandoned based on the amount of cobwebs and dust you try to avoid inhaling.
Noticing the lanterns at the bottom, you decide to follow them in the hopes that it will lead you out of here.
As you make your way out of the passageway, you take notice of how dark everything is. A few minutes pass and you finally seem to be getting somewhere when you see a brown wooden door. You then open the door as quietly as you can to get an idea of where you are since you heard voices.
Looking from the doorway, you notice that the area is heavily surrounded by guards, male and female, wearing heavy metal suits.
Almost looks like something you see in sci-fi movies, you thought.
Noticing that none of them are facing you directly, you decide that your best plan of action would be to slowly walk away from their direction and begin walking where your feet will carry you. You have no idea where that is but anything is better than sitting around doing nothing at all.
Before moving forward with this plan, you barely remembered that you are still wearing your Dr. Strange Multiverse shirt and flannel looking shorts . Realizing that you will already stick out, you decide it may be best to try and draw less attention to yourself.
Looking around you, you notice there’s a long, brown hooded cape that is hanging on what looks to be a nail. Deciding it’s your best bet, you shake out whatever mess you could off of it and put it on.
You check if the close is clear one more time before heading out.
So far, so good, you thought.
You feel confident that you are about to get out soon until you suddenly hear a voice behind you ask.
“ Are you lost?”
_________________________________________
Thinking through your opinions carefully, you decide to feign ignorance (mostly because you have no idea where you are) and pretend you are looking for directions out of me.
As you turn around, you almost hold your breath at the man in front of you. This man is one of the most handsome men you’ve ever seen.
He is of average height with wavy hair and kept up facial hair and is wearing a dark green uniform of some kind.
Although, the think that you are most entranced with by him his dark brown eyes. As they seem to have this intensity that would make any woman feel special.
Tumblr media
Not wanting to look more like a fool in front of him due to you lack of a quick response, you decide to talk to him.
“Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?”
“You’re in Caladan castle.”
“Caladan, can’t say I’ve heard of that city or country before.”
“My lady. Caladan isn’t any of those things. It’s a planet. The one that has proudly been my ancestral home, House Atreides Home, for about 10,000 years.”
“Planet? 10,000 years. Wait…” You begin taking in your surroundings more seriously as well as the information this man has told you. “What year is it?”
“10,172.”
“Oh.”
As soon as the handsome man finishes telling you this, the last thing you see is darkness with so many running thoughts.
No way are you that far into the future. One minute you were asleep in your room, the next you end up in an unknown place and time.

Lizards and Pumpkins (Part 3)
AU Young Leto Atreides x fem! reader
Summary: After the events that occurred, you and Leto are finally getting married. This will also lead to your wedding night into the start of your honeymoon.
A/N: Thank you everyone who took the time to vote! Appreciate the feedback. Also, please ignore the beard in some of the pics I used from dune since Leto in this fanfic has no beard (yet).
A/N #2: please read the two previous parts to this story to be up to date on the events that took place so far.
The first time he sees you walking down the aisle in your wedding dress, Leto is trying to hold back his tears. Seeing you in your white lace, off the shoulder wedding dress with your hair in a braid does things to him.
When you are finally face to face with him. Smiling at him as he takes your hand into his. To him, this all feels like a dream. Being able to marry you, his true love. The one he met by chance in the forest with fate allowing you to keep finding one another, so that you both can be in this moment. Together.
_________________________________________
Both of you have a hard time listening to the officiant, as both of you have these loving looks all the guests can see you giving one another. In fact, there were a few laughs going on as Leto was unaware that he was expected to recite his vows to you.
Tumblr media
Once you both have exchanged vows, you both place each of your rings on the other's hands.
“I now pronounce you man and wife. You may no-“, the offiant starts but is interrupted by you and Leto kissing one another for the first time as husband and wife. Everyone cheers.
_________________________________________
As the festivities of your wedding banquet comes to a close, Leto and you thank everyone that attended your celebration. From this, you both walk out of the dining hall, hand-in-hand, and start walking towards the bedroom you will be sharing as a married couple.
Tumblr media
Out of nowhere, Leto lifts you into his arms, carrying you over the threshold of your newly shared bedroom. This results in the two of you giggling and smiling at one another.
Once you both are inside the room, Leto puts you down and then steps back. He locks the door and begins to walk towards the bed.
“Will you join me, my love?” Leto asks you, his voice low and husky.
“Yes. Let me just freshen up in the restroom real quick”, you respond sweetly.
Leto nods as you leave the room. His heart pounds as he waits for your return. His hands are trembling at the anticipation of you lying next to him.
Nevertheless, Leto decides to use the time to unbutton his shirt and take off his shoes.
Tumblr media
________________________________________
As you add the finishing touches to your look, you are anxious. Never once has a man seen you in such little clothing as Leto is about to see you in. Though this thought alone begins to make you smile. For you trust Leto to be your first in all aspects as he has shared so many with you in the time you’ve both have known each other.
With one more deep breath and a quick touch up to your hair, you then come out wearing a white mesh slip with matching undergarments.
“What do you think, Leto?”, you ask as you approach the bed slowly.
_________________________________________
As you open the door and make your way back into the room, Leto’s eyes pop wide. His jaw drops to the floor and he just stares at you.
“My dear, you are even more stunning than you were in your dress that you wore for the wedding ceremony.”
Leto walks up to you with his hands out.
“May I?” he asks as he gestures for you to step forward.
You nod.
Leto takes your hands in his as he leads you to the bed, laying you down in his arms. He can’t contain himself any longer.
Leto lays you down on the bed and starts to gently kiss your neck and chest. His hands make their way under your lingerie and he starts to caress you.
_________________________________________
You wake up Leto’s arms locked around you and feel his warm breath against your cheek.
“(Y/n)?” he said softly as he kissed your forehead.
Leto started kissing your neck and chest as you were waking up from your slumber.
“Good morning my love,” he said before kissing you gently on the lips. “I hope that your first night as my wife was memorable for you.”
“It was. Thank you”, you respond and nuzzle into his bare chest. “It was. I hope the night was memorable for you as well, husband.”
Tumblr media
After a minute of silence, you look up to him and ask with puppy dog eyes. “ Can we stay in bed and cuddle a bit longer before heading out to our honeymoon destination?”
Leto nods his head.
“Of course love. I would like that very much.”
He then starts to rub your bare shoulder and back.

Inner Healing
Marc Spector x fem! reader (Steven and Jake are mentioned briefly)
Summary: In the heat of a moment, Marc raises his voice at you. This leads you to get hurt but not for the reason that Marc is thinking.
Warning(s): angst that ends in fluff/comfort.
Marc had a stressful day. Between arguments with Khonshu and the back and forth conversations of his two headmates, he feels as if he’s barely hanging on by a thread.
Currently, the two of you are having dinner together. You’re telling him a story about something that happened to you at work during a zoom meeting. Although, you start to take note of Marc’s zoned out expression on his face. Something that happens when he has a lot on his mind.
Tumblr media
Taking this into account, you decide to bring up your concerns to him.
“Marc, are you okay? You haven’t been talking much tonight.”
He nods.
“Are you sure?” You try reassuring him, taking his hand in yours. “I'm here for you, you know?
Your voice starts to get lost with the other voices in his head. Though he’s trying to hold it together, he can no longer keep it in.
“I said I’m fine!!! Now stop nagging and leave me alone!!!”
Tumblr media
As soon as he sees that shocked look on your face, regret is instantaneous. As he is about to open his mouth to try to apologize, your reaction is what catches him off guard.
Rather than yell back at him, you nod and take you hand away from his own. “Okay.”
The rest of dinner is eaten in silence as he sees you keep your focus on your plate rather than look him in the eyes.
_________________________________________
As Marc lays in bed, he begins to wonder about the events that happened tonight.
Why did I have to yell at her? She was only trying to help and I made her feel terrible.
“That's what I’m wondering”, responds Steven.
Jake murmurs “Tu es un idiota” as well as a few other phrases that Marc cannot fully understand but gets the gist of what is being emphasized. That he was a jerk to the woman who loves him so much, despite his faults.
As Steven and Jake go on with their reprimanding, Marc is trying to figure out what the next step is. Though he knows he needs to apologize, he isn’t sure how to when the woman he loves won’t even acknowledge him.
Just then, Marc sees you walk into your shared bedroom. Though he’s initially happy to see you, he is shocked to see you grab a pillow and blanket and decides to break the silence between you.
“What are you doing”?
“I’m getting ready for bed.” You say without looking at him.
“Away from me?”
“I figured…after what happened tonight, you want space.”
“Babe, please…”
“It’s fine, you don’t need to explain. I’m sorry…”
“I’m the one that should be apologizing. I yelled at you when you were only trying to help.”
“But you wouldn’t have yelled if you weren’t upset with me.”
“Babe, where is this coming from?”
Though you are reluctant, you decide to bring up your thoughts.
“Growing up, my dad used to yell when he got angry. Sometimes even yelling at me for no reason. Though his feelings were never truly directed at me, I couldn’t help but feel that I had something to do with it. Therefore, I figured that if you yelled at me, it must mean I made you…”
Despite being unable to finish, Marc brought you in for a hug. He now understands. You were upset because you thought you were the cause for his anger. But that could be further from the truth.
It was actually you that made him happy. Something that, since Randall's death, he had not felt. He felt whole again because of you.
Yes, despite how absurd it was for him to say it, you were able to give the impression that the man with DID wasn't broken. For they all loved you back just as much as you loved them all. So that he knows how much you mean to him, even if he has to spend the rest of the night cuddling with you and whispering sweet nothings, he will. Because it is what he intends to do for the remainder of your lives together, as well as tonight.

Lizards and Pumpkins (Part 2)
AU Young Leto Atreides x fem reader
Summary: After the events of the ball and the old, Leto is appointed the newly appointed Duke of Caladan and has finally found the maiden who has won his heart. Will he accept you as you are?
A/N: Though this story was intended to be similar to Disney’s Live Action Cinderella (2015), it will start to go a bit off of that storyline.
Tumblr media
As you are being brought to face the newly appointed Duke Leto by Captain Duncan Idaho , you have a lot of thoughts running through your mind. Some of these thoughts consist of: What will the kingdom think of me if I stand by him? Does he feel for me the way that I do for him? Will this relationship last if it goes further?
Going down the steps, you take in your appearance. A light blue dress with a brown petticoat and a white headpiece covering your hair.
Tumblr media
Leto looks at you with a smile on his face, happy to finally be in your presence after weeks of searching for you. “Who are you?”
In response, you answer, “I am (y/n). Your grace, I am no duchess. I have no carriage, no parents, no dowry. I do not even know if that beautiful slipper will fit But, if it does--will you take me as I am? A good honest country girl who loves you?”
“Of course, I would. But only if you'll take me as I am, an apprentice still learning his trade. Please…” , he looks at you pleading. You nod.
Leto invites you to sit on a nearby chair as the Captain looks on with a smile as he places the slipper on your foot. To the surprise of neither of you, it fits perfectly.
Tumblr media
You then take his hand and walk out with him out to the palace.
*This was a very short story. Wondering if I should write a chapter about their wedding and honeymoon.

Loving you is a losing game
Marc Spector x fem! reader (Steven and Jake are mentioned briefly)
Summary: Marc meeting you was one of the best things to have happen to him. However, the demons of his past make him feel otherwise. You help him see that the love you share is one that should be fought for.
A/N: This is what I thought while listening to the song Arcade by Duncan Laurence. Of course with a happier twist.
A/N 2: Purely for entertainment purposes, so please don’t come after me. As I said, I'm still getting used to writing pieces like this.
Tumblr media
Marc Spector’s life has never been easy. From the trauma of his young brother’s death to everything he’s during his time as Khonshu’s avatar, he’s felt like a ticking time bomb. Though he’s tried to use his time as Moon Knight to right his wrongs, it never feels like it’s enough.
When he meets you, he begins to see that there is more to life than vengeance. Marc begins to let himself enjoy your presence when he and you hit it off at the gym.
You weren’t a gym rat by any means but you had started a membership in the hopes of getting in shape and learning self-defense by using their punching bag. Seeing you hit the bag by yourself catches his attention and he begins to give you some pointers on how to improve your stance. Over time, this leads to you becoming sparring partners and eventually exchanging phone numbers. Although,this leads to you all regularly hanging out outside your sparring hours.
The day he asked you out was a shock for him because not only did he actually let himself be brave enough to ask the question but you eagerly accepted his invitation. It’s even more surprising to find out that one date led to another. Then another until you both have officially unofficially started dating.
Despite everything going well, he knew that there were things he needed to tell you. About his DID. His past. Being the avatar to an Egyptian deity in exchange to right the wrongs from his ugly past.
This then leads him to begin feeling self conscious about himself. His inner dialogue begins to consist of questions such as: What if he didn’t deserve this chance at happiness? What if she thinks I’m crazy or thinks I’m making this up?
Marc then begins to hear his mother’s voice. Telling him that he is unworthy of receiving love and will only continue to destroy all the lives that he surrounds himself with. Steven and Jake try to snap him out of this but Marc is paralyzed. At this moment, Marc only thinks one thing.
“I have to break up with her before I hurt her”, Marc thought.
_____________________________________
“Marc, this isn’t funny. Stop joking, you say.
“I’m not joking. I think we should break up,” said Marc.
“But why, Marc? Did I do something wrong?”
“Of course, you didn’t. You’ve been the best thing to have ever happened to me.”
“Then why are you doing this?” You take your hand in his, looking at him sadly. “Please, tell me why you’re acting as if I’m a disease.”
“Imthedisease.” He says as if he’s trying to rip off a bandage.
“What, baby?”
“I said, I'm the disease. I seep into innocent lives and destroy them.” He looks at you tearfully.
“Marc, that’s silly. What are you talking about?”
Marc then begins to explain everything. From the death of his younger brother to the lives he took during his time as a mercenary. He also makes sure to mention that he is the vigilante, Moon Knight, and has two other individuals living within his head. He concludes all of this by saying, “Loving me is a losing game.”
Once he’s done explaining all of this, Marc is waiting to see your reaction to all this. Will you call him crazy? Run away from him? Scream?
Instead, you take his hands in your own.
Tumblr media
“Loving you isn’t a losing game, Marc,” you tell him. I love you and long as we have each other, we can face whatever life throws at us.”
At this, Marc pulls you into a big hug. He lets himself break down because he knows that you’re here to stay and love him. For his strengths and weaknesses, through good and bad times. He knows you will be there for him.
As you two are still embracing, he starts to believe that he is worth loving after all.

Thank you @kingtwhiddleston and everyone who got me to 10 reblogs!
Plush Size
Marc Spector x fem! reader (Implied moon boys x fem! reader)
Summary: Missing the MK System, you decide to make a plush toy of Moon Knight for yourself, so that you have something to cuddle with when they are on missions for Khonshu. While this plush ends up being used for that particular reason, the moon boys are shocked to see that you are no longer as clingy to them as you once were. This leads them to become touch starved, resulting in them hiding the plush.
Tumblr media
You miss them all very much. It has only been a day since they left but you miss Marc, Steven, and Jake very much.
Though they have been on missions longer than this most recent one they are currently on. Nevertheless, it’s true when they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
As you look through Pinterest to look at sewing machine projects that you want to do. You see some pins on how to make dolls. This sparks the idea to create a doll in the form of your boyfriends’ Moon Knight persona that you could use to cuddle when they are gone. With this newfound inspiration, you get to work.
_________________________________________
3 Days Later…
Marc is currently fronting as he enters the key to your shared apartment. Though this mission was shorter, the desire to get home to you was what kept him going.
When he locks the front door, Marc notices the silence within the house. No tv nor music playing in the background.
Imagining the worst case scenario, Marc grabs his gun from his travel bag and begins walking around the house in preparation to fight to the death for you. He hears both Steven and Jake from the headspace, trying to reassure him that you are safe and more likely to fall asleep. Though he appreciates the reassurance from them both, Marc’s mind can’t help but wander to think the worst.
As he finally approaches the door to your shared bedroom, Marc finds you asleep on your bed. Although, instead of snuggling into his side of the bed like you normally would when he was gone, Marc is shocked to see you snuggling up with a plushie that looks nearly identical to what he looks like when he wears Khonshu’s ceremonial armor as Moon Knight. Marc smiles to himself as he returns to his regular clothes, beginning to strip to nothing but his boxers and crawls into the bed to get well earned rest.
________________________________________
In the coming weeks, Marc notices how often you cuddle with the plush version of himself and is a bit restless to say the least. Though Marc is happy you have something to remind you of himself when he is away, the feeling isn’t there when he begins to notice that you sometimes even hug the mini him when you both are lounging around together in your room or living room.
Despite Marc always being a bit closed off at the start of your relationship, you helped him open up. Once feeling as if he had to wear the world on his shoulders, that feeling slowly faded away when he was around you.
No longer receiving those cuddles as often as he was once used to, Marc begins to devise a plan. One that will ensure he gets your attention.
________________________________________
As you finish showering and changing into your pajamas, you exit the restroom and enter the bedroom.
When you walk to the bed, you notice that your Moon Knight plushie is no longer laying on the side where you normally sleep. In shock, you look under the bed to make sure it isn’t there. Noting it isn’t there, you move your pillows to see if they aren’t under the bed.
“Marc”! Have you seen mini you?”, you ask.
Marc comes in and says he hasn’t but agrees to help you find him (unbeknownst to you that he hid it).
________________________________________
Thirty minutes of you two looking and not having any luck. Defeated, you lay on your bed a bit upset.
Marc gets into bed next to you and wraps his arms around you. He is a little shocked by the fact that you are upset about this.
Curious to understand why that is, he asks: “Why are you upset about losing the mini me”?
You answer.“Because it’s something to remind me of you when we aren’t together. Also, I figured it would be a good substitute for when you don’t want to cuddle me as I know I can be a bit too much sometimes.”
Everything begins to make sense to him. Marc goes to your closet to get something. When he comes back out, you see that he’s holding your missing plushie.
“I’m sorry I hid this from you”, he says ashamed. “I missed your cuddles and thought that mini me was taking away your attention from me. Despite what you may think, I love our cuddle sessions. It’s because of you, I feel safe enough to be vulnerable. Can you forgive me, baby?”
The moment Marc finishes, he is shocked to see you get up from the bed and grab the plushy from him. You put the plush on your bed and pull him in for a hug.
“You know you can ask me for cuddles whenever”, you say.
Marc looks at you with puppy eyes, “Can we cuddle now?”.
You take his hand and lead him both to your bed. Both of you get settled in with Marc laying his head on your chest as you run your fingers through his curls. Staying this way until sleeps takes over.

“I’m sorry I hid this from you”, he says ashamed. “I missed your cuddles and thought that mini me was taking away your attention from me. Despite what you may think, I love our cuddle sessions. It’s because of you, I feel safe enough to be vulnerable. Can you forgive me, baby?”
The moment Marc finishes, he is shocked to see you get up from the bed and grab the plushy from him. You put the plush on your bed and pull him in for a hug.
“You know you can ask me for cuddles whenever”, you say.
Marc looks at you with puppy eyes, “Can we cuddle now?”.
You take his hand and lead him both to your bed. Both of you get settled in with Marc laying his head on your chest as you run your fingers through his curls. Staying this way until sleeps takes over.

Lizards and Pumpkins
AU Young Leto Atreides x fem reader
Summary: A ball is being held in the hopes that Leto Atreides will find an eligible maiden to marry as he is expected to become the next Duke of Caladan.
*This storyline will be similar to Disney’s Live Action Cinderella (2015). There the dress you will be wearing is like that one.
Author's note: This is my first fanfic ever. Therefore, please be kind about any feedback you all may have. Other than that, enjoy and let’s see where it goes from here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When you get to the bottom of the steps, you notice the man from the forest you met a while back walking towards you. However, you had know idea he was the Leto Atreides of Caladan. You had been told that he was an apprentice in training but you had no idea you were speaking to the next Duke in line.
At this moment, you two are face to face with each other.
“It's you, isn't it?” Leto asks.
“Just so. Your grace…”, you respond and curtsy to him.
“If I may... that is... it would give me the greatest pleasure, if you would do me the honor of letting me lead you through this... the first…”, Leto struggles to say what’s on his mind due to being in a daze by your beauty.
“Dance?” You ask, smiling sweetly at him.
“Yes, dance. That's it.” He finally gets out.
While you and Leto start dancing, you notice the people surrounding you both.
You whisper to him, “They're all looking at you.”
At that statement, Leto smiles and says, “Believe me, they're all looking at you.”
——————————————————————
Leto pushes you gently on the swing in the secluded garden he shows you as you both carry on having meaningful chats.
A clink is heard, and you realize your slipper is off your foot. Upon noticing this, Leto stops pressing you, gets on her knees, and places the slipper on your foot.
Tumblr media
With awe, he asks, "It's made of glass?"
"Why not?" you ask him, grinning.
Then, as though he wants to kiss you, he leans in close. "Will you please tell me your true identity?"
After giving it some thought, you say, "If I do, I think everything might be different."
Leto says, "I don't understand," with a perplexed expression. “At least, could you tell me your name?”
Just as you prepare to inform Leto, the clock chimes 11:59. That's when you recall what the fairy godmother said. You say as you turn to face Leto. "I must go now. It is difficult to describe. Pumpkins, lizards, and other things. You tell him you'll never forget it and thank him again for a fantastic night.
Leto murmurs, "Lizards and Pumpkins," as he watches you dash out of the garden. With a smile, he chooses to follow you.
One of your glass slippers slips on the palace steps as you walk to your carriage. Even if at first you want to pick up, you change your mind as you notice Leto approach you and climb inside the carriage.
Tumblr media
When the carriage pulls out of the palace, you see Leto stoop to retrieve your slipper. You grin as you recall the amazing evening you spent with Leto. Despite your feeling that this is the final time you will ever see him.
Tumblr media
You have no idea that Leto is planning to locate you. In one kind or another.

Hey Everyone!
Once again I came across a random thought. As a Harry Potter fan, I was wondering how the Moon Knight system amongst the four Hogwarts house: Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. Using the MCU’s version of the character(s), here’s how I would see them:
Steven Grant=Ravenclaw
Tumblr media
While some people may say Steven is Hufflepuff due to his honest and loyal nature, I would say he aligns more closely with the traits of Ravenclaw: intelligence and creativity. This can be seen in Steven’s studious nature in his interest in Egyptian history as well as the fact that he was able to help Marc and Layla figure out the constellations 🌌 by simply making their map into a star. Something that was outside the box thinking.
Marc Spector= Gryffindor
Tumblr media
Though this one is kind of a given, let me explain this one. Marc aligns closely with House Gryffindor due to his brave, daring and adventurous nature. Like all Gryffindors, Marc can also be pretty stubborn and reckless as he feels that he needs to handle everything alone and be able to meet the hero expectation and not let anyone down.
Jake Lockley= Slytherin
Tumblr media
Just because I put Jake in Slytherin for this scenario doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a bad guy. In fact, the few seconds that we had seen Jake show him to be very resourceful and shrewd as he adaptive to the situation of being the third alter by staying hidden from the rest of the system and only coming out when necessary. However, since Jake is the aggressive parts of Marc’s nature, this has led him to be manipulative and vindictive. This can be seen throughout the two times in three show where Marc thought Steven had killed those they were fighting against.
Do you agree or disagree with these thoughts? Please feel free to leave your opinions.

Questions for all Moon Knight fans. I’m currently watching the Wizard of Oz (1939) and was wondering how you all would label the Moon Knight system amongst the three: Scarecrow, Tin man, and the Cowardly Lion. Using the MCU’s version of the character(s), here’s how I would see them:
Steven= Scarecrow
* Like Scarecrow, Steven is an extremely gentle character, his disposition is so kind and considerate, obliging and honest that all who know him love him. Another thing that Steven also shares with this character is that he can be a bit clumsy and uncoordinated. Lastly, Steven is smart and resourceful.
Marc= Tin Man
* Like the Tin Man, Marc believes he’s incapable of feeling anything remotely positive or good in his life (because of his past trauma) when that is far from the truth.
Jake=Cowardly Lion
*While some people may disagree with me on this, I find Jake to be more aligned with the Cowardly Lion due to the fact that he has always had to be the alter to face the toughest situations for the system.
I’d love to hear your opinions on all this.

Hello Everyone!!
As someone who is a major fan of David Bowie, I would like to use this platform as a way to connect with other fans. With this in mind, this is the first question I have for you all. How were you first introduced to the David Bowie fandom? Watched Labyrinth? Heard his music on the radio? A combination of all these?
