✵ Arachnid Ambuscade | Solomon x gn!reader

drabble (0.7k words) | sfw | gn!reader | fluff/angst

cw: spider mention, set in Nightbringer, mutual attraction, no established relationship, MC is an oblivious dunce & Solomon is touchstarved to the point that sudden close physical contact with his LI nearly makes him faint on the spot lmao

You were simply minding your own business, reorganizing some things in your room at Cocytus Hall when you suddenly noticed a huge spider twice the size of your hand on the wall to your left.

You let out a little scream and jumped away from the wall, bumping into something. Or someone.

"MC? Are you okay?"

You felt Solomon behind you stiffen in surprise as you bumped into him, one of your hands brushing his thigh. Or his hip. You couldn't really tell, you were too occupied with anxiously staring at the big spider on your bedroom wall to keep watch of whether it was moving or not.

While the sight of a spider didn't put you in a state of panic, you didn't really like spiders all that much. Especially when they were potentially dangerous and/or appeared on the wall of your bedroom wholly uninvited, deciding they intended to make your room their forever home and not pay any rent. You weren’t a big fan to say the least.

Small spiders weren't really a problem, it was the bigger ones that you were mildly terrified of. Which was stupid when you thought about it, since the smaller ones were usually the venomous ones and the bigger ones rather harmless... But you were in the Devildom and just assumed that everything was out to get you six feet under by default.

"Please get the spider out of my room, Solomon. Please please please."

You shrieked and winced as it moved.

"Anything for my adorable apprentice."

One incantation later and the spider was gone.

"...Is it gone?" Yes, you were looking at the obviously spiderless wall, but you wanted to make extra sure. Just in case. Better safe than sorry.

"Yes. I used a teleportation spell to send it to another place, away from Cocytus Hall."

"Oh, thank Diavolo." You let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks, Solomon!"

Turning around, you hugged him.

The surprise of a sudden hug caught the sorcerer off-guard. It took him a second to regain his composure and hug you back.

"Anyday, MC."

As you wrapped your arms around him, you felt his heart beating ferociously in his chest.

You looked up and wanted to ask him if everything was alright, but then you saw that he had small ivory feathers in his hair.

"Did your pillows explode during one of your experiments? There are feathers in your hair."

Without asking for his permission, you reached up to gently pluck the feathers out of his hair, your hand brushing his cheeks and nose several times in the process.

A good look at his face showed that his cheeks were now pale pink and his breaths ever so slightly shallow.

You eyed him worriedly. "Sol, are you okay? Do you have a fever? Was the spicy zombie dragon liver curry you ate for lunch today a little too much for you? Do you want me to go get you some medica-"

Before he had the chance to respond your D.D.D started ringing, the sudden loud noise startling both of you. Taking a step back from Solomon, you grabbed your phone from the nightstand and answered the call.

"MC, there’s a giant spider in the House of Lamentation and it has already devoured Asmo's vanity and Mammon's car and now it’s chasing us!" You heard Asmo's blood curdling scream in the background while Levi was panting, trying to hastily explain the situation while presumably running for his life. "Lucifer is currently at the Demon Lord's Castle - Please, you need to help! I don't know how much longer we can run!" Mammon yowled as Levi shrieked and the sound of something being smashed could be heard.

You looked at Solomon.

The sorcerer was attentively watching you, sporting a sly smirk.

"I... erm... Levi... I don't know how to tell you this, but I can't handle spiders myself. I'm sorry, I doubt I’d be any help."

"Please MC, anything -"

Solomon gingerly plucked the D.D.D out of your hand.

"I'm sorry Leviathan, but this is one of MC's scheduled off days and they're very busy currently. I'm sure you'll be able to handle the spider on your own. Good Luck!" He cheerily ended the call and placed your phone back on the nightstand.

You shuddered. "Well, I won't be setting foot into the House of Lamentation until that spider is gone, that's for sure."

Solomon smugly smiled. "Perfect, that means I get more time to have you to myself."

About

Hi! I'm plue.

According Martha Stewart something is considered vintage if it's at least 20, but less than 100 years old, so I guess you can safely consider me vintage.

I write whenever my health (and my cat) allow me to, otherwise I'm busy with the usual neurodivergent cave goblin activities~

Blog

This blog somehow turned out to be mostly Obey Me! focused and I write about whatever my goldfish brain decides hands out the most dopamine at any given time. Obey Me! OC content may be added in the future, we'll see. Any of my xreader fanfictions are either afab!reader or gn!reader, additionally please keep in mind that this blog is not spoiler-free.

Apart from sfw fluff, angst and humor/crack, I do also write suggestive or dark content (no downright smut). Please read the content warnings and remember that you're responsible for your own online consumption :)

I don't know if anyone has done this before, but I want to look at some data, so your help would be appreciated!

Seeing as Solmare all but abandoned the OG Obey Me! game, only to occasionally take it off the shelf, dust it off a little and immediately put it back, I really question if that approach is lucrative for them.

With the birthday events, nightmare revivals, new lessons and much more gone, I personally wouldn't see a reason to pay for VIP membership (if I ever was to pay for anything extra in a free game which I don't) in the OG. Added to that, not only would it get me to drop the game alltogether, but also probably never start playing Nightbringer or drop NB as well.

With the OG possibly having a bigger active userbase (I assume) than Nightbringer (and NB having the more active user base overall), they're just getting potential customers to quit it all. At least I have seen several people on this site never having heard of NB even months after it was released

So, my question is: Which Obey Me! Game(s) do you actively play?

Actively playing referring to 'you still have it on your phone and check in at least once a year, preferably more often' (Yes, that's very loosey-goosey, I know. Humor me, damnit XD)

Reblogs to help are very much appreciated :3

more polls with more specific questions might follow in the future?

[folkdevilfables]

Actually yes, Asmo.

Disposing of bodies in large groups is called a 'funeral'.

And depending on where you live and what exactly you plan on doing with said corpse, that might be illegal.

There are cops in the Devildom???

Also this fucking line:

I'm dead, bye--

[folkdevilfables]

MC: Father's day and mother's day are cool and stuff - but what about a therapist appreciation day?

Simeon: MC, are you doing okay...?

MC: There is only so much an emotional support rock can do for me, Simeon

I always find it funny that fanon made Lucifer into this sadistic super dominant top while canon Lucifer gets more turned on when MC takes the more proactive/dominant role. This is a man begging to be topped and given his actual personality and how he acts with MC it makes sense that he'd want someone he implicitly trusts to take his control from him for a short period of time

Canon Lucifer wants to drink tea and go on factory tours and get fucked stupid by his SO
