#;; CURSE ON HER FAMILY SHE'S NOT ABOUT IT. she'll probably kill him before it can GET to that point even if it destroys her in the moment

[kaerinio]

no, because george is sick for lining quentyn and young griff up together, and putting "the sun's son" and "the mummer's dragon" right next to each other. because in both cases, they occupy this duality. quentyn is literally the sun's son, but his targaryen ancestry and his play at being a dragontamer makes him a mummer's dragon. and, young griff could be the sun's son through elia martell if his alleged identity as prince aegon is true, but it's more likely that he is, in fact, the mummer's dragon, as hinted by illyrio himself. smth smth blackfyre and women's bloodlines . . . which would also play into the significance of targaryen descended women smth smth.

Some observations about Baldurs Gate 3 that hit too close to home.

After another few runs i will probably just make an in-Depth Character Analysis for every character simply because they are good reflections of actual trauma-manifestations and how abuse can manifest in people. They are also so well written that it serves a narrative purpose to explore all the material that is out there about them. I am also personally cursed with actual medically-relevant levels of Empathy and Hyperfixation; so writing this helps me put a pin in it and move on.

But so far here are my highlights

(SPOILERS and obviously content warning bc these are deep)

before you ask; i have almost 300h in this game.

You have to convince Shadowheart to eat the Noblestalk. She actually stells you she rather get her memories back from Shar but when you hit the persuasion or intimidation (what the fuck) check to get her to eat it she'll tell you about her childhood friend. Not her name, not her parents but her best firend. Possibly because she has had a closer bond to that person after being abducted and indoctrinated. With her believing herself to be an orphan, she would've looked elsewhere for comfort and sought out her own family, this is why she falls hard and heavy for Shar and builds the backbone of her indoctrination. She is literally ripped out of her home & given a new identity to server her from all she has known. Religious indoctrination, Gaslighting, Abduction, being forced to let go of your personality are her main themes.

There is a scene out there floating around in which you see Astarions pespective of the night when he bites Tav for the first time, in his meditations he is confronted with the rules Cazador put on him, including that he can't eat intelligent creatures, can't be away from Cazador unless allowed to, has to obey every command and that they are should know that they are property. Which in turn means that Astarion literally didn't just have any autonomy, he was objectified (and not just through seductive/sexual measures) and that is really the crux to understanding why he doesn't believe in kindness, but rather shows self-serving behavior in most cases. Since we know that Astarion was extremely young for an elf before he died and became immortal (literally stopping the aging /maturing process) it is also very telling that Cazador constantly calls him brat, boy or other very juvanile names, refering to them as a family... well it is also the story of a very controlling parent. Themes of (Bodily) autonomy, infantilization ( & puer aeternus, forever-child), slavery, depersonalisation, corruption of life and torture to break someone.

Gale isn't just a guy hung up on his Ex, but also a victim of abuse. In this case a power imbalance none of us can fathom; She is described as being a jealous goddess and rules over the domain of mysteries and magic. So with Gale being a Wizard, she is literally his boss. He admits that he was foolish enough to aspire to be an equal to her, but she is so jealous that she tells him he can't really be worthy as long as he takes breath. She could just take his powers away and be done with it, that would be more than enough punishment for a guy who literally made Mystra and her domain his life's purpose, but she rather makes him do it himself. Add to that, that she literally only tells him this after years of self-isolation (after he put down so many wards that he could've blown up a whole army as he says if you click the right dialogue) to really fuck him up well. He also talks about death pretty much constantly, not surprising giving your situation, but he will tell you that he will kill himself at several points in the game, for instance after he comes clear about his nethrese orb. Themes of romantic abuse, power-imbalance, toxic work enviorment, self-isolating behavior, suicidal ideation

Wyll ... well from the looks of it he is the most well adjusted of all the companions (my opinion) but he has something that i'd describe as the "eldest daughter"-syndrome, more commonly known as parentification. This pattern usually occurs within single-household parents and is commonly described as a parent looking to their child for emotional or practical support, rather than providing it to their kid. We meet Ulder and see that he talks over Wyll a lot, not listening but expecting him to follow the standard he sets for him. That is also why Wyll repeats his fathers words like gospel (because this is what, in his mind, fullfills the expectations bestowed upon him) and why he loves fairytales / bard tales so much (because they are an ecapist view of the job he set out to do) Ulder literally exiled his teenage son because Wyll did the only thing he could to save an entire city, by sacrificing himself. Thats a lot to expect from a 17 year old - even more so, he doesn't stop with the heroics. He expects himself, as a human who hasn't even reached the age of 30 to hold up to mystical creatures such as Astarion or Karlach, or even Gale who is a accomplished Wizard. Themes of parentification, escapism, self-harming through putting himself in danger, chronic-self-sacrifice

In plain words; Gortash, Karlach's Idol sold her to a Devil. But add to that that she must have been pretty young when she was sold (late teens to early twenties possibly) and being that if you play as a Tiefling, you face a lot of predjudice she was likely forced into that position as well. Starstruck she was, with a juvenile naitivy that Gortash used. Appropriately, as he is the chosen of Bane the god of "tyrannical oppression, terror, and hate, known across Faerûn as the face of pure evil through malevolent despotism" (Source: Forgotten-Realms Wiki / Bane) So she pretty much was raised in a toxic enviorment, which forced her to become a killing-machine, first figuretively, then with the extraction of her heart, literally. Themes of slavery, oppression, misuse of trust, being taken advantage by a more powerful/older(?) person, being drafted.

Jaheira - to be honest, you need to know the lore of the previous baldurs gate games or just listen to her dialouge, ask her all the questions. She is a war-veteran against Bhaal, the good of ritual murder, and has a long history of fighting to achieve some sort of balance of power. She lost her husband and several close people all to this, or any other war, but due to her wisdom and strength people look to her for guidance. Themes of: Survivors Guilt.

Halsin - he is really closed off at first but then just casually hits you with "i was captured in the underdark and spent 3 years chained to a bedroom wall by a pair of drows who used me as they pleased". He is reprimanded by some of his druids for leaving the grove as soon as opportunity struck, just to get back and leave the next day, and if you talk to him about his position in the grove he is actually very forthcomming. He actively holds himself back; indulging in simple hobbies because he knows what lies within his heart. He is afraid of himself and his potential (canonnically he can't control his wildshape, which is very weird for an ARCH-druid) Themes of: impostor syndrome, avoidant-based self-harm, sexual opression, loss of control, emotional regulation.

Lae'zel is a very tragic case, and one that closely resembles the stories of Shadowheart and Karlach. Her entire existence is based upon a matriachial war society allowing her to live if she proves she can be of use and that in a culture which only values brutality, dominance & service. All of that culimating in her finding out that her oh-so-beloved Queen is actually just an imposter, and that everything she has lived for up to that point is merely political propaganda created to make her, and the rest of her entire species, willing pawns in a war that has no longer bearing on their survival alone, but is fought to justify Vlaakith's (the reigning monarchs) personal ambitions. Not only is she forced to reconcile that she is turned into the thing that controlled her kind for hundreds of years, that the only cure she knows of would kill her and then on top of that, that her hopes and dreams were lies and that she is now the Nr 1 enemy of the person she has served with all her being. themes of: oppression, propaganda, casual violence, objectification, child-warfare, eternal warfare

Minthara in short, her story is about being shamed for growing up in the same scenario that Lae'zel grew up in. Lolth, the god of the Lolth-sworn drows is a crazy queen who values scheming & backstabbing so much and is so volatile that you can't know what to expect of your deeds (and i mean it; there were people who were appraised by her for scheming against her, but also those who were killed. It's almost random.) She considers Lolth to be cruel and abandoned her for the Absolute, only to then be used and abused the same way Lae'zel has. Not with promises, but erasing her memory and exposing her perceived weakness. Themes of: casual violence, violent culture, her own ambition colliding with her desire to be safe, being a pawn in a larger game.

THE FAILURE OF SURVIVING AGAINST THE UNRANKED MONSTER ALONE 😭 his sense of responsibility FUCKING KILLS ME 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I'm just saying this was probably the white stars curse ruining his health

Cuz if we recall, the white stars curse included an everlasting pain in his body, each breath he took felt like he was dying

And it's probably this faint because choi jung gun tells kim rok soo that the god of death is trying to take the curse back from KRS so it doesn't affect him

GRAH

I have more screenshots and thoughts,,, will share them later

[karizard-ao3]

If you made a teen pregnancy fic how would it go?

Since I get to pick, I choose Ranma and Akane for this one, because even though it is FAR less likely that Ranma would, of his own accord, be able to work up the courage to even kiss Akane, let alone knock her up, any time before his 21st birthday, his world is rife with magical charms and nefarious potions etc, so there is no reason that he and Akane couldn't both, through a comic series of errors, both ingest some inhibition inhibiting bon bons one night while they are alone at the dojo (perhaps Genma purchased them for Nodoka, who won't give him the time of day now that she has her son back), and, thanks to their effects, one thing leads to another and they declare their love and then consummate their relationship. They wake up the next morning back to their old selves and wildly embarrassed. They can't even look at each other. Ranma is beet red and runs away every time Akane tries to talk to him about what happened because he thinks she'll be mad at him, but him avoiding her hurts her feelings, and then it hurts her feelings even more when he finally gets brave enough to apologize and makes it sounds like he regrets it.

By the time their families return from wherever they were, Ranma and Akane are in what appears to be a run of the mill fight, so no one thinks that much about it.

They sort of make up and individually resolve to ignore what happened until a few weeks later when Akane realizes she's late (maybe she and Ranko are synced up? Or would Ranma only have the outer female sex organs but not a uterus? How thoroughly does the curse affect his insides? I guess it doesn't matter since he's not the one pregnant - although imagine an AU where Akane falls in the Spring of Drowned Boy... Oh, the gender bending hijinks).

Anyway, her period is late. She skulks off to get a pregnancy test. It's positive. She freaks out. Now she's mad at Ranma again. He corners and demands to know what he did this time. She shows him the test. He doesn't know what it means. She has to explain, and then he goes white as a sheet. Falls all over himself apologizing, promises to marry her. She is like, "No, thank you! I won't be have you marrying me out of obligation" which makes him super mad because he takes it as a rejection. It's a whole thing.

They try to hide it while they figure out what to do and how to tell their families, but Nodoka sniffs them out almost right away. You know how she is. She pulls Akane aside and asks if she is pregnant and, a little coldly, who the father is. Akane says it's Ranma and Nodoka is ecstatic. Starts tearing up and saying how her boy is a man among men because he ruined a young girl's future by getting her pregnant out of wedlock. You know how she is.

She scampers off to tell the rest of the family.

And thus, the secret is out.

The rest of the fic would be them dealing with becoming young parents, discussing whether they want to keep the baby (they do), and Ranma sorting out all his various suitors so he can show Akane that he is really serious about making it work with her when he finally tries proposing again. Maybe this isn't the order he would have picked to do things in, but he's a School of Anything Goes Martial Artist. He can roll with the punches.

I'm sure there will be all kinds of shit going on. The other girls won't take it well, and Ryoga will for sure try to kill Ranma. Kuno also will probably try to start some shit.

But, in the end, they have their baby and Nodoka babysits for them so they can go to school and Ranma and Akane make absolutely certain that Genma never, ever, under any circumstances takes the baby away to train. He is probably not allowed alone with the baby at all. But, he's a bit better as a grandpa/ panda, so they don't have to worry.

[yuesya]

In an AU where instead of Geto, it's Shiki who fall to the dark side;

How well would her friends and family take the news?

How scared are the Jujutsu HQ when the girl who can kill anything is now their enemy?

What would be her end goal? Classic stuff like kill all non-sorcerers? Or something else entirely?

Hmm villain!Shiki AU...

The easiest way I can see this happening would be if Shiki doesn't have any close friends or connections keeping her on the 'straight road,' so to speak.

In a world that's less kind, Shiki never meets Nanami Kento. Her parents sell her to the Kamo Clan after she wakes up from a coma with cursed eyes, and so one of the first lessons that Shiki learns in her childhood is abandonment.

The representative who arrives from the Kamo Clan to take her away is Araya Souren.

Shiki grows up with this man who is her teacher and father and jailer all in one. He tries to kill her, and fails. The second lesson that she learns is betrayal.

Once, Araya had spoken to her cryptically of his goals before.

To the end and the beginning, to life and to death. To the truth hidden within the core of this broken world… and the way to finally break free of this endless cycle of madness and suffering.

To him, the world is full of suffering and misery. He wants to 'break the cycle,' whatever that means, and apparently Shiki's abilities are the key to it.

Shiki doesn't care about any of that. Araya wanted to break the cycle? Well, then she'll just be part of it.

(Countless red lines beckon her, an allure that Shiki has no desire nor inclination to resist.

Destroy, destroy, destroy.

... It's not such a bad way to pass the time until her eventual death.)

'Shiki' probably becomes known as a fickle-natured globe-trotting curse user who spontaneously goes on murder sprees for seemingly no reason at all in this AU.

To (finally) address Anon's questions:

1: Shiki's family and friends from zenith of stars aren't emotionally invested in this version of Shiki.

However, Nanami probably experiences some sense of guilt and responsibility, when later investigations reveal that this is his niece. Even if he wasn't on good terms with his sister and brother-in-law, what happened to Shiki was... horrifying.

Shiki's parents are alive. They ended up using the money they got from selling Shiki to live a comfortable life, although their later years are spent in terror when they learn what their daughter has become. Their greatest fear is Shiki coming to kill them someday.

2: Jujutsu HQ probably starts losing their minds when they get reports of a curse user whose cursed technique appears to be killing, of all things. They do their best to monitor her and estimate her travel patterns, and prevent her from crossing paths with Gojo Satoru.

If she and Gojo Satoru end up fighting... the end results would be catastrophic. They need to avoid that at all costs.

If she and Gojo Satoru end up getting along with each other... their combined strength would be enough to make the entire world kneel. They need to avoid that at all costs.

3: As stated earlier, Shiki doesn't have a particular goal in mind, aside from 'preserving' the cycle that Araya so abhorred and desired to destroy. She wanders the world sowing chaos to her whims, secretly hoping to find something that won't be fragile and ephemeral -as the red lines in her eyes indicate everything to be.

We meet again, darling pt.19 (detective Abby Anderson x criminal reader x detective Ellie Williams)

Synopsis: Abby Anderson is a skilled detective that's never let a criminal escape her grasp, until you. You've infiltrated every part of her life and she still can't get you. As she grows more and more intrigued by you she finds herself descending further into darkness until there's no way back. She takes your hand and follows you as if your presence is the only thing giving her life knowing that you are the most dangerous thing for her. Her life will never be hers again and she will stop at nothing to keep following you down your path of corruption.

7.32 PM

"I'd love to." You take a seat in the chair he's gesturing to and return his stony glare. "Tell me sweetheart. Who'd you have to fuck to get yourself here?"

You laugh at his comment more than you should and it leaves him confused.

"Well I could give you the list but it wouldn't do much, I'm here because I'm good at this. That's why you've never been able to beat me." His face turns to a scowl as he takes a drag of his cigar. He chuckles a little and then goes silent once again.

"You're arrogant. Didn't your parents teach you manners?"

"Nope."

"You must've been a very dislikeable little girl then. Nothing's changed I see."

"You seem to have a fascination with my childhood. Is there a question on your mind? or is that just your thing?" His head snaps up as he puts the cigar down.

"How dare you accuse me of such a thing." His voice is low and gravelly as he says it and you can't hide your amusement at his frustration. "I am fascinated though as to what happened in your childhood to make you turn out this way. Were you an orphan?"

"Nope. One brother, my best friend, and two parents that were in a loving marriage and loved us both very much. Perfect, picturesque family. But what way have I turned out? Different from you? Because that would be a mighty high horse for you to be sitting on if that's what you're saying."

"I've heard stories about the things you've done, always vague and never any details about who was committing the heinous acts, but I heard about the acts."

"Yeah? Tell me the worst story you've heard."

"Tell me the worst thing you've done."

"You first." He stays still for a moment until he picks up his cigar again and begins to speak.

"What?"

"Hello to you too, jesus." Ellie scoffed at Abby's rude greeting as she answered the phone. "I don't know what to pack because I don't know if we're going somewhere hot or cold."

"You really think there won't be a whole new wardrobe waiting for us when we get there?"

"True... She'll probably have bought us matching wardrobes."

"Ha yeah I swear we're like dolls to her."

"I've never had someone take so much pleasure in dressing me up, usually the joy happens when the clothes come off." Abby can practically see the smirk on Ellie's face just as Ellie can see the eyeroll coming from Abby.

"Was that all?"

"No actually, I was wondering if you wanted me to grab food from Michael's and then come to yours, can wait for her together."

"Oh right yeah, sounds good, thanks."

"The usual?"

"Yeah please."

"Okay, cool." Ellie hangs up before Abby can even say bye.

"Rude." She mutters to herself but internally she finds Ellie's bluntness charming, she'd always laugh to herself when she'd observe a conversation between Ellie and someone at work that ended in Ellie walking away obliviously while the other person stormed off cursing her rudeness under their breath. Abby returns to packing while thinking about what you're doing right now.

"You first."

"Fine. I heard of you killing a man's wife when he failed to repay his debts to you."

"That's the worst you heard? God people must think I'm pathetic."

He grimaces at your words. "Your turn."

"I set fire to a home where a family, two parents and two kids, were sleeping peacefully inside, I left the daughter to burn and I took the son with me, I killed him separately after I made him live through the pain of losing his perfect family and his perfect life, he became a monster just like me and then I slaughtered him like one too."

"Why?"

"Because I felt like it. Because I needed to. Why does it matter? Doesn't change what I did, see this is what limits people, always trying to find a justification for someone's actions. Once you accept that your actions can't and shouldn't be justified, you're free."

"Is that what you are? Free?"

"Exactly."

8.07 PM

Abby turns her attention from the TV as a knock sounds on her door, she opens it to see Ellie standing outside with takeout and her comically small suitcase.

"Is that seriously all your bringing?"

"Leave me alone this is a regular sized suitcase." Abby stands aside to let her come in.

"Yeah for a two week holiday. Hate to break it to you but this is not that."

"Oh whatever. Can't believe I got you food."

"From Michael's as well? You're too cute."

"Shut up. Figured we should have it at least once more before we leave."

"Do you remember how much we used to go there when we were officers, makes me feel old thinking about it."

"That's because you are old."

"You're two years younger than me."

"Still..." They had both sat on the sofa and were ripping open the bag of food when Ellie paused. "Has she ever told you how old she is?"

Abby goes to reply back acerbically and then she realises you hadn't, you hadn't asked how old Abby was either though, she assumed you knew anyway but she realised she didn't know how old you are, she had always guessed you'd be a similar age to her because of the time it would take you to build your business to the level it is now but she didn't actually know. "Er no she hasn't. I'm ashamed to say I've never asked."

"Has there ever been time for small talk like that?" Ellie looks at Abby knowingly as they both chuckle.

"No I guess not."

"I wonder what it will be like, you know being with her just us 3 on our own, no business."

"I think there's a high likelihood of us driving her up the wall and ending up buried somewhere."

"Yeah that's a fair guess." They both waste no time in stuffing their faces with the huge burgers Ellie had bought as Abby presses play on the Family guy episode she was watching.

8.45 PM

You checked your watch to see that, provided everything went to plan, your men would be done seizing all of the Met's shipments, you wanted to wait until you knew everything had gone smoothly for them before you killed him and judging by the fact none of his guys had burst through the door to alert him of your plan you assumed everything went as it should have.

"Got somewhere to be sweetheart?" Your roll your eyes at the pet name and stand.

"Yes actually." You pull your gun from its holster and at the same time two huge men burst into the room and lunge at you. You manage to shoot one and he drops to the ground but the other made it to you before you could stop him. He lands a punch so forceful you hear your cheekbone crack. It disorients you so much you don't notice him grabbing you at first and when you do realise its too late as he has you held tightly to him with an arm around your waist trapping you hands by your sides and the other arm round your neck choking you slightly.

"Richter warned me you'd be paying me a visit, I was shocked to be contacted by him, you must've really pissed him off for him to side with me."

"I wouldn't be hasty to take his side, unless you want to end up like him."

"Yeah? And how has he ended up?"

"Dead." You smile through the throbbing in your cheek as he moves his face closer to yours.

"I'm giving you a chance here, I'll let you walk off unharmed if you beg for your life... and transfer everything you're worth over to me. You can run away to go hide in a hole somewhere and be thankful everyday for the rest of your life for my mercy." You chuckle at the man before you as you realise he is so similar to Richter, never misses an opportunity to assert his dominance over a woman and a complete pussy that can't do a job properly. He didn't even give you a chance to fear for your life before he offered you a chance to live, he doesn't understand the game the way you do, doesn't enjoy it like you, you like to play with your victims before you end them and he's making this no fun at all. The gutlessness of it all disgusts you, no one is ever willing to do what needs to be done and that's why you rose to the top so quick, that's why you'd rather die than beg this pathetic man for your life, you'll do what has to be done to die the way you lived.

"I'm not begging for shit." You spit in his face and he falls back yelling at your grotesque action. He wipes his face and storms back over to you so there is barely any space between your faces, his breath smells of cigars and bourbon, a smell you had grown familiar with after all these years that still never failed to make your nose scrunch up. A menacing smile grows on his face as he utters the words:

"I am going to enjoy killing you so much. Everything you have is mine now, sweetheart."

As he finishes his sentence he nods at the man holding you, you hear a shuffle behind you as his grip around your neck disappears for a moment, you keep eye contact with the victorious looking man in front of you until you feel a cold, solid object being slammed into your temple. The ringing in your ears starts immediately as does the spinning in your vision, your legs shake and everything around you turns sideways and rushes upwards. You don't realise you're falling to the floor until you hit it, the last thing you see before your vision goes black is the huge man standing over you clutching a brick spattered with blood in his hand.

psa: sorry this chapter is a little shorter but pt.20 will make up for it (i hope), finale next! Can't believe I've actually made it this close to finishing the story, i have never stuck with anything creative enough to finish it so this is crazy to me

[humanoidalien27]

The next chapter for you lovely people. Thank you for reading. I hope you like it.

Content warning: fluffy stuff and trust issues

Chapter 10

Summertime sadness

It had been a few weeks, Sebastian and Ominis seemed to have found a way to cope without magic, even helping with the chores, not that Sebastian didn't explain all the ways magic could make it easier.

You were happy to see more color come back into your mom's face as she listened intently to all the stories Sebastian shared of his time at Hogwarts.

He even told her about Anne and her curse, now putting the blame where it belonged, on Rookwood.

Ominis was opening up, not nearly as fast as Sebastian, but he started to engage in the conversation more.

He still sat close to you and would fidget if you had to do something, leaving him alone with your mother.

You had been waiting for a particular owl to arrive and when you heard it screech, you had to get to it before Sebastian pestered you about who it was from.

You took the letter, paid the owl and opened it outside, not that you couldn't hear Sebastian already pacing.

You read through it quickly, before stashing it in your pocket as Sebastian walked out into the porch, too impatient to wait, with Ominis and your mom flanking him.

"And?"

You took a deep breath, instantly seeing his shoulders drop. "She'll be here tonight."

Life sparked in his eyes as they darted to yours. Before you could react, you were crushed into the tightest hug you've ever felt, nearly being picked up off your feet.

He let go almost as quickly as he grabbed you and turned towards Ominis. "She's coming!"

"I know, I heard. I'm blind not deaf," he teased, but Sebastian was too excited to notice as he raced inside.

"He's not going to demolish the house, is he?"

"Given his nature, I suspect he'd end up breaking something."

Your mom looked to you as she couldn't even tell if Ominis was joking that time.

"Probably best if we kept an eye on him," you admitted before heading into the house.

But, he was just sitting at the table dumbfounded.

"Sebastian, are you okay?"

"Given Anne's curse, I do want to find a cure still, but I don't even know where to begin."

You were grateful that Sebastian had told your mother everything after he broke down due to nightmares and stress. He hadn't left out a single detail, which landed you in some hot water for not clueing her in on how dangerous your year had truly been.

"Not turning to forbidden magic, is a good start," Ominis replied as worry flicked through his expression.

"You said that Rookwood fellow cursed her, so maybe looking for possible curses humans know would be a good place to start. As far as you've told me, you were only looking for goblin related curses," your mom offered slowly as if unsure she should get involved.

"That doesn't quite narrow it down," you mumbled. "Rookwood wasn't above using any spell to get what he wanted."

"But, you can see which curse is close to Anne's symptoms and figure out the best way to cure her. Though I would feel better if you had more experienced help."

One face popped into your head.

"We could try contacting Professor Fig," you offered. "He knows how to keep a secret."

"Fig? The teacher who mentored you after your letter arrived?"

You nodded. "Yeah, he also has ministry contacts, so we might be able to get better help or even more help with the search."

"It's better than watching her die," Sebastian admitted, rubbing at his chin. "She's all the family I have left."

You couldn't help but glance at your mom. You probably would have walked the same path he did to save her life.

"Okay, I'll send an owl to Professor Fig."

You headed out of the room, with Ominis closely following.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" He asked once you were in your room. "The last time we went down this road, someone was killed."

"Yes, but he was doing it alone. This way, Fig's involved and by extension, the ministry. It'll keep him from doing anything foolish," you replied as you looked back at him. "People need hope Ominis. Hope that life isn't as screwed up as it seems. We know that better than anyone."

His expression melted. "I know, but given what happened last time, my fear isn't unwarranted."

"No, it's not." He relaxed further at your admission. "Which is why I want to do this now. Sebastian won't be able to pilfer through the tomes at Hogwarts by himself. He'd have to wait for answers, while rebuilding the bridge with his sister and what better way to do that than in a neutral area that neither are accustomed to and can't use magic?"

His brows pinched for a second. "You've been planning this for a while."

"Feeling helpless while watching someone you care about die, it takes a toll. That pain never really goes away, you just learn to tune it out until something reminds you of it."

He fell silent, knowing you were referring to your father's death.

"I understand where Sebastian is coming from. I've lived it. Only, I had my mom to help me. He had Solomon and come on, that guy hated Sebastian. Anyone could see that. There wasn't even three beds in their house. Solomon had no qualms about yelling at him when I first arrived, I'd hate to see how he treated him without company-"

"I get it, I do." He sighed, dropping his head. "If this starts taking a turn for the worst- if he starts using dark magic again."

"You'll turn me in, I know that. I take my commitments seriously," Sebastian said standing at the door. "All I've wanted was a chance. A chance that I wouldn't loose my family completely."

"I know Sebastian," Ominis whispered, lifting his head. "I don't agree with it, but given my family, I guess I wouldn't fully understand."

"You can choose whose in your family," your mom said, moving up behind Sebastian. "Blood doesn't make them family, it just means you're related. As we grow, we build our family out of the people we come to know. Some stay and some go, but that happens. The three of you have been fighting for each other your whole school year."

Your eyes travelled to the boys, both lost in thought until Ominis's head turned in your direction.

"I now understand where you got your way with words."

You snickered as your mom turned red and made an excuse to leave the room.

"Are we telling Anne?" Ominis asked with a sharp tone.

"I've already spoken to her about it. She wasn't happy, but when I explained Sebastian's side, she was willing to allow it under the rule of absolutely no dark magic, which the three of us agree on, might I add."

His heckles softened. "I just don't want a repeat. I doubt our friendship would be able to survive another go."

"I don't want that either Ominis. I owe the both of you more than I can probably repay. I'm not going to destroy what I've managed to get back."

You looked at Sebastian as pain crossed his features.

"I'm going to go see if Sara needs help with anything."

Ominis sighed heavily as he dropped into a nearby chair.

"Are you mad at him or yourself for not stopping him?" You asked after Sebastian's footsteps faded.

"Both, I expect, but bringing this back up-"

"I know, I wasn't too fond of the idea myself, but Anne's his sister and it's hard enough with her hating him, but if she dies before that rift can close, Sebastian will never be the same. Do you really want to watch both of your friends twist unrecognizably?"

"Obviously I don't, but this isn't something we should take lightly. Our actions have consequences that affect other people."

"I do know that, Ominis."

His fists clenched as he shook his head. "If someone else dies-"

"If we do nothing, someone will die anyway and it'll be Anne." He flinched at how harsh you sounded, but you pressed on. "I'm not telling him to pick up were he left off. I'm telling him that if he needs to do this, to do it right. Without secrets, dark magic or sneaking around. Solomon can't destroy every avenue Sebastian has now. He CAN do it right. We just have to put a little faith in him."

"I did put my faith in him before-"

"So, he's not worthy of forgiveness, but you are?"

You knew it was wrong to use that against him after everything he's done to prove he's changed, but he was as stubborn as Sebastian at times.

Sometimes being reminded that people are human is needed; they're messy and sometimes cruel. For all human advances, we're still flawed and ignorant to the experiences and hardships of others, but there was enough hate in the word it didn't need more.

Without being able to see you, his eyes glared right into yours, but he didn't reply.

Frustration built up and you knew if you continued this conversation a bigger fight would break out.

"I'm going for a walk."

You headed towards the door as he sat there, his head following your movements.

....

Chapter list: One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine.

(I like my Ominis story. But damn if the one I'm writing for Sebastian isn't making me sit at the edge of my seat. So much mystery and suspense planned. ☺️ I will be releasing that after all of Ominis's are finished.)

Thoughts on Queen Narissa & Nathaniel

Narissa and Nathaniel appear like the comedic villain-duo like Kronk and Yzma (the beautiful evil mastermind and the stupid, ugly sidekick).

But there is SO MUCH MORE to them!

Obviously Nathaniel is truly, madly, deeply in love with Narissa. That's actually quite sad when you think about how cold-hearted she is and how badly she treats him. She abuses his will to do literally everything for her to make him do things he doesn't want to because Nathaniel isn't all that cold-hearted. And yet he hasn't got a choice to stand up against her since he knows she has power over him not only because he depends on her.

Given that they are both from our world Nathaniel might also stick around Narissa because he probably hopes to still be able to safe her. He might knew (and loved) her before she became evil, making it even harder for him to stand against her. He was forced to watch Narissa turning bad and couldn't do anything.

Narissa might got cursed when she married the former king of Andalasia with the same curse Giselle gets cursed when wishing for a fairytale life in "Disenchanted". When Giselle wishes for a fairytale life, she is Morgan's stepmother and Narissa had become Edward's stepmother by marrying the king.

Narissa sends Endward troll-hunting every morning to distract him from finding a girl and marrying in order to remain in power. Like the book in the picture says: "She lived in fear that one day her stepson would marry and she would lose her throne forever." That might sound selfish of her but given that she is from the real world where she once gave her whole life up, leaving family and friends behind who probably assume that she's dead makes it less selfish. Even if she left no friends and family behind, she still has been gone for a very long time in which New York changed a lot. One way or another, she has no home to return to. The throne is all she got. She is not from Andalasia. So if she loses the throne she'll probably be kicked out of Andalasia because there is no need for her anymore. So of course the idea of probably ending up in a New York where everything has changed with nothing except her clothes and nowhere to return to frightens her so she does everything to remain in the throne.

Nathaniel has zero self-confidence since he considers himself ugly. He knows he is not as handsome as Prince Edward making him the ugly guy in Andalasia. And he hates himself for that. In the motel he realizes he needs to love himself if he wants Narissa to love him, because how should she be able to love him if he even can't love himself? The thing is he thinks there is nothing to love about him so he assumes Narissa will never love him what ends him up in a bar. You can see he has been crying when on top of all this Narissa appears in his drink and scolds him for being unsuccessful in his attempts to kill Giselle.

She also calls him "worthless" when she finds him in New York.

When Robert wakes up Giselle with a true love's kiss, Nathaniel realizes everything is lost for Narissa and that it's too late for her. He might sees that no one can save her and turns down on her. He then finds the courage to stand up against her and threat her with the sword. This must be hard for him since he is letting Narissa go, knowing she is not the woman anymore that she used to be. Narissas death is tragic yet a mercy since her life wouldn't have been worth living after all that has happened at the ball.

Nathaniel, however, moves on and becomes a bestselling-author by writing a book about Narissa ("My Royal Pain: Vanquishing the Evil Queen Within").

[practically-an-x-man]

Your OCs have been cursed! If they don't betray and murder the person they love the most by midnight, they'll disappear! How do they try to get around the curse?

Ooooohohoho now that's some ANGST! I like it!

Rae: After everything they've been through, there is nothing in the world that could get her to betray/murder Warren. If she can't find another solution, she'll just accept whatever the curse has in store for her. "Disappear" is a little vague, anyway.

Robin: Well, there's not just one person she "loves most", is there? She loves Peter, she loves Sean and the rest of her family, she can't pick just one. And it's unreasonable for the curse to ask her to kill all of them, that breaks the whole "a life for a life" thing it seems to be setting up here.

Madison: Tells everyone at the X-Mansion about it - sends Alex off without telling her where he's going, has Raven hide all her weapons (in case she ends up magically or hypnotically compelled somehow), then spends the rest of the day being monitored by Hank and Charles for any changes. Part of her assumes the curse is a hoax, another part assumes it came from a mutant somewhere, and she's still not sure if "disappear" means she'll die or just turn invisible. Either way, she's not playing this game.

Ophelia: Argues that this already happened - she loves her parents more than anything, and they both died because she could've reminded her dad to check the specs on his tritium reactor, and she didn't. And it's a repeat theme for her - Harry died because she could've talked things through but was too busy to call him, Lyla died because she was careless and let a supervillain invade her tech, she holds so much guilt over their deaths that she might as well have murdered them.

Gia: Argues that the person she loves most is her older brother, and she already "murdered" their relationship by refusing to reach out after she got back from HYDRA.

Jasper: Argues that technically, Kyle already did die once (even if he's been brought back to life)

Kestrel: So in the Fablehaven universe, there's this magical plant called a stingbulb that can almost perfectly replicate a person, even down to their memories. If Kestrel can get their hands on one, and have it mimic Warren, they could kill the stingbulb and maybe get by on that technicality. Stingbulbs only live for a couple days, anyway.

Katherine: I mean, technically Ahk was murdered 4000 years ago, wtf is she gonna do? Kill him again?

Quinn: Magic doesn't exist in her world, at least to her knowledge, so she really just assumes this is some kind of practical joke and brushes it aside. That's... probably not going to end real well for her.

Eris: The most likely to actually have the guts to do it, if it really came down to it. It would ruin her, they'd never be the same, but they could do it if he had to.

Nikoletta: Argues that although she does love Abner, the person she loves most is the woman she was before she was experimented on by STAR Labs, and she knows she can never get that woman back.

TIMELINE / VERSES.

( I like playing them at different points in their lives so I guess just pick your poison lol.)

before... he doesn't know. he's... happy but haunted. lives his life in history. estranged from his mother. always catches things in the corner of his eye. strangers always smiling a little too wide. always too close and just watching him. he's just being paranoid. of course, that's it. // normal verse - doesn't know about the cult yet -normal everyday life + ya boy is being subtly group stalked

after... he knows. he knows it all now. he fell in love and she was one of them. they have his blood. his mother promised them. it's shadows all around. a sea of disembodied voices. they're everywhere he turns, every place he goes. he can't tell who is who. and so he runs and runs and runs. // h(a)unted verse - knows about the cult - doesn't trust any damn body - on the run and ya boy's gotta gun

before... she worships her father. wants to be just like him. or just be him. she is at his beck and call and thinks that will win her the seat. she works hard. competes with her brother for her father's job. she barks and bites. she doesn't know what lies ahead but she's hopeful and so hungry. // normal verse - works for/with her dad

after... she's done it. she's torn. guilty but so damn proud. she has everything in her hands now. she's sated. or so she thinks. she'll do whatever it takes and she knows that now. she's always known that though. doesn't mean she feels good about it all the time. you would never know though because she pretends so well. what she doesn't know is that the cracks are starting to show. // red queen verse - murdered her dad, brother and his family - kinda deranged and paranoid - imagine lady macbeth - will kill to keep her secret and her new job

before... the whispers in the back of her skull are just that. she loses track of time sometimes and wakes up in places she doesn't remember being. with bruises and a perpetual headache. her mother always said that she was a cursed being but that couldn't really be true. // normal verse - not possessed yet, at least not completely - will probably just disappear on you from time to time - like physically and mentally

after... she is no more, gone to the void. her body moves still. occupied by many. committing atrocities and beckoning others to join. working hard to have the entire world at their feet. // possessed verse- extremely violent brodie ngl

before... she hasn't done it. she goes to school. she does her odd jobs. animals go missing in her neighborhood. her garden blossoms. she misses the farm. every day is the same. and the thought is just a thought is just a thought. everyday is the same. // normal verse

after... she did it. she didn't think she could actually do it. neighborhood animals won't cut it anymore. she has had her first taste and all she can think is, more, more, more. she's never going back. // serial killer verse - baby's first body - the milk's gone bad

Hades ,Jafar, Maleficent agree to each other to take down each other's adviceries(spelled wrong i know. Sorry about that)

Maleficent vs Hercules

Hades vs Aladdin

Jafar vs Philip

Sorry for the wait for this one, this is such a cool idea!! Esp because switching heroes removes the villains narrative foil, so they're free to do their typical villainy and actually win this time...

Maleficent vs Hercules:

Ok so this is a match that is actually pretty even - herc has dealt with giant beasts all his life, so Maleficents dragon form isn't as much of an advantage compared to with Philip. Plus Herc and Pegasus can fly, so.

Instead, she's at her best doing as Hades would - luring and tricking with words and deals, except she can wrangle the rules of hospitality so freaking well that Herc's chances of shooting himself in the foot are nigh inescapable.

She's going to have to keep her distance and probably kidnap his allies to threaten him with their harm/death, but chances are he'll unfortunately fall for it and she'll make sure not to leave any loopholes.

Just hope Herc Doesn't manage to get within grabbing distance otherwise she's getting shishcabobbed on every tree in the immediate vicinity.

Gods v fairy is also a concern, but she's certainly got the arrogance if not quite the power to go head to head with the Olympians if it calls for it.

Hades vs Aladdin

Weirdly this has kind of been done in the show, 'Hercules and the Arabian Night' episode, but a couple of distinctions need be made here.

In that instance Hades misguided Aladdin into fighting a fellow hero then sent Jafar to fight in his stead when they breached the underworld, he never actually encountered him face to face.

Obviously Hades has every advantage under the sun in a one to one situation with Aladdin. He's immortal, stronger, faster, has magic and has been playing the smart man's game for centuries compared to Aladdin's 20ish years of street smarts.

He could also play the 'see your dead friends and family' card seeing as Al has almost definitely lost people in his life and Jafar did turn up in the Greek underworld, it's not impossible that others did too.

Sans genie, Hades wins so long as he doesn't give Al the chance to weasel his way free by sending henchmen or giving him chance to talk.

Jafar vs Philip

Hilariously the easiest matchup in this set, Jafar wins hands down.

Philip is way too black and white, too noble and too traditional in his role as a prince and knight not to fall for Jafars manipulation or backstabbing.

Sure he's faced down a dragon fairy which gives him a combat edge against Jafar's giant cobra form, but Jafar would probably be able to keep his head and not let it get to combat in the first place.

He only went full scalie against Aladdin to show off and prove a point. Philip isn't important enough in Jafars headspace to warrant the same effort.

Jafar could go the long route and ruin Philip politically as an envoy between the two kingdoms, hypnotising Philips allies and court against him at every turn before killing him when he's at his most alone.

Or he could be dramatic - and find a way to magically cripple the Rose Kingdom.

...would be even need to? King Stefan ruined his country's entire economy in the 16 years it took between aurora's curse being laid and activated, what could break the upcoming king worse than fighting his own people for being unable to fix his predecessors actions? All it would take Jafar is some well placed nudges and Philip would have a full peasant uprising on his hands.

Plenty of distractions to kill him to. :P

Ooooh this was fun, thanks again for the ask!!

Steve Harrington x Reader

Casuality

Just some fluff, angst and smut

Warning: mentions of alcohol, mentions of sexual activity, a little cursing

How did me and Y/N ended making out in my pool? Bad decisions and booze, that's the answer. I wanted it to stop, but it was good.. Too damn good. I can taste in her mouth the bitterness of the alcohol we drank a while ago. The mix of beer and vodka was still lingering in her mouth.

My hands run in her legs, as her hands tug my hair. There were fire igniting inside us, it was burning with lust and adrenaline. A low moan escapes her mouth, this added fuel to the fire inside us. We both knew that we'd regret this in the morning, but we didn't stop.

Y/N Henderson..

I'm close to her brother, but not to her. We fought monster beside each other, she was close to Robin, Nancy and Jonathan. But not to me, that's why I'm surprised when she arrived in my doorsteps, alcohol in her hands.

"Hey, Steviee!Wanna run around town and get smashed?"

She caught me off guard but I agreed, I was always intrigued by her. I never noticed her in high school but she seems to know everything about me.

"Oh, come on!Steve!I'm not stupid!I know you use that shitty shampoo and conditioner!"

"It's not shitty!It's the real deal!"

"Whatever, let's go back to your house and take a dip in your fancy pool!"

My mind snapped back as we moved to my bed, Y/N's heavy breaths and low moans was all I could hear from her. We drop in my bed, we knew were going to spend all night here. The sheets wrapped around our naked bodies, legs entangled with each others. Moans filling the room, sweats dripping from our hot naked body. We were drunk and stupid. Sobriety and rational thinking was out the window. This night was filled with bad decisions and bad decisions only.

Days have passed since that night, we decided to continue the relationship but we're keeping it casual. We're now sitting in my car, music blasting on the stereo on a low volume. She was looking blankly on the window as I drive her to campus.

"What are you thinking about?" I questioned, snapping her out of her trance. She smiled at me as she relaxed into the passenger seat.

"Whatever your thinking about.."

"Dustin moaning really weird last night?" I joked causing her to glare at me.

"No, but now that's what I'm thinking.." I chuckled at her response as I paid attention to the road.

"Hey, do you want to have a sleep over tonight?"

"Sleepover?What are you ten?Do you also want to braid each other's hair and have a pillow fight?" Her witty remarks always get me laughing, that's one thing I like about you Y/N..

"Come on, we're not gonna be sleeping anyway.." I pleaded.

"Ooh, Stevie gonnna give me the lovey dovey!" She said in a baby voice. Gotta admit, that was weird as hell.

"Oh dear god.." I mumbled under my breath.

"What's that Harrington?" Her glares could literally kill someone, I just gave her an innocent smile, she just rolled her eyes.

"Nothing.."

"I'll see you tonight, then.."

A comfortable silence filled the ambiance of the car, if I know Y/N and I think I do, she'll try to rummage her brain for something to talk to--.

"What was Dustin moaning about?" There it is..

"Oh dear god.." I just shake my head in amusement.

The first time I had ever seen you cry was the day we got home from campus, snots and tears were everywhere. I never saw you cry, even when we almost died twice while trying to save the world. Not a one single tear, but now your here infront of me. Tears in your eyes, as you sobbed into my chest. I don't know what to do, should I comfort you?

"What happend?" I finally asked the lingering thought in my head.

"I saw Dad with his brand new family.."

Y/N's father..

I never really met him but to what I gather from Y/N and Dustin is that he's a coward. He left his family to be with another woman.. Putting the three of you to emotional trauma and abuse.

"I'm sorry.." That's all I could say..

"After all what he did to Mom and Dustin, he have the audacity to be happy while Mom cover up the pain with cats.."

"I hate my dad, I swear if he ever comes back, I'll feed him to the demogorgons.. Why does this always happen to me? Can everything be just fine again?"

I hate seeing her like this.. What should I say? I can't really relate to her, my parents still stood by me.

"I'd do whatever I could do, if you want to get wasted, I'll do it with you, If you want to burn your dad's house, I'll be down with that. Just don't cry, I can't stand seeing you like this."

A small laugh erupted from her, moving beside me, she lay her head into my shoulders.

"Thanks for the reassurance Harrington.."

"That's what I'm here for.."

"Come on Steve, let's make out in your pool.." Y/N stands up, and gave me her hand, I gladly accepted it.

"Why do you have to ruin the mood?"

"How's that ruining the mood?If anything, I'm building the mood." She said in a sultry and teasing voice. I rolled my eyes, does she think I'll get turned on by that. She was crying just a moment ago, she was releasing snots.

"I think you have daddy issues, love.." It was her turn to roll her eyes.

"We all have daddy issues.." I grab her cheeks and peck her lips.

"We both have daddy issues, then." She just gave me the most precious smile that ever existed.. Oh, God. How I love you.

The first fight we had was also our last, it was your birthday. We were hanging out in your room, laying in her bed as the television played Star Wars. The pale moon was dancing all throughout the room, I knew there was something bothering me, we've been doing this for months, keeping everything casual. I'm growing tired of the constant thought that someone will take her away from me.. Don't get me wrong, I love Y/N, I'm not sure how she feel about me though. Y/N's like a close book, hard to read. So many things that I wish I knew, but there's so many walls that I can't break through. ( Where the swifties at? )

"Are you okay?" Y/N soft voice pulled me out of my head.

Am I really okay?No, why? I want us to be in a committed relationship, where someone can't take you away from me. That's how much I love you..

"Nothing, just thinking about us.." A small smile tugged in her lips as she scoot closer.

"What about us?" She asked, her brows wiggling.

"Being casual and all.." The smile she had falter, she moved away from me, running her hands through her hair.

"You know I'm not ready yet.."

"You always say that."

"Steve!I can't have this exact same conversation with you over and over again!" And here we are, fighting.. The anger inside me flicked open, I know it won't do good but I still went ahead and got mad.

"Why can't you say it once?!" Our shouts echoed through the whole house, her Mom is probably worried about her.

"What can't I say?!" She asked confused and angry at the samw time.

"That you love me!" The whole room suddenly got quiet, the look in Y/N's face was hard to read. Are you shocked? Scared? Angry? What? Do you love me like I love you? Please, say the words that I want--no, what I need to hear.

"Steve, we both know that we agreed to keep things casual.." She finally spoke, but not the words that came out was not what I needed.

"Casual?We've been together for almost a year now, how much more casual do you want it to get?"

"I--Steve, I can't do this now.." She backs away from me, opening her door wide open for me to leave.

"Why?" That's all that exited my mouth..

"Because I need space!" She snaps, a involuntary scoff left my lips.

"Space from what?!We barely have a relationship!"

"Just get away!I can't believe your pressuring me!" She shouts, but I stayed to say the words I'll regret..

"Let's just end whatever the fuck this is!"

"Fine!" She screamed as she walks up to me and pushed me out of her room.. Reaching the end of her door, she pushed me. I stumbled but managed to bounce back, before I can even say another word she slammed the door. And there's that..

"Steve?" Dustin came out of his room, a worried expression painted in his face.

"Are you and Y/N okay?"

"Yeah, it's just a--" I stopped at the middle of the sentence, my mouth refused to let the words escape.

"A what?" He questioned.

A break up..

"Nothing, it's nothing.." I lied..

I didn't know why I couldn't say the words. I clearly never wanted this to happen, I didn't know what happend. And I can't take it back, what's done is done..

Life with Y/N was hard, but life without her is much harder. Was I in the wrong? I shouldn't have pressure her, all I wanted is to go up at her house. But Dustin told me, she was really busy with a lot of schoolworks. Where did it get so complicated?

I was walking home when I saw Y/N, just standing in my porch front step. She seems fidgety and nervous, those sweet eyes seem to notice me. Y/N was wearing one of my Van Halen shirts, with a short and just some sneakers. You always looked beautiful in my shirts..

"Steve.." I love how she says my name, but I love it more if she screams my name. Flashes of her naked body grinding on me suddenly appeared on my head. This was not the time but I couldn't help it. I miss her..

"Hey.." I greet..

"I just wanted to--"

"I should be the one apologizing, I shouldn't pressure you like that.." I cut her off, I'm right. There's no need to apologize, I was in the wrong. I pressured her when I agreed to keep it casual.

"Still, I'm sorry too.." Y/N was always nice, never letting her pride get in the way of her life.. An eerie silence once filled our conversation, I never wanted this but maybe..

"Maybe it's best if I give you the space you nee--"

"I love you.." She cuts me off..

"Huh?" My mind went blank, my eyes blink rapidly as I try to sink in the three words you just dropped.

"I don't need space, I love you Steve Harrington.." She confessed cheekily, a small smile appeared on our face.

"I love you too.." She just smiles at me, but she was waiting for something. What is it? A ring, maybe? But this is not a proposal..

"What are you waiting for?Kiss me."

Ohh, right.. The way I moved was slow, I think she grew impatient because you pulled me and our lips collided into one. The way your lips was covered in the strawberry chapstick I gave you, this was my favorite thing in the world. I slid my tongue, it danced with yours. I pushed you in my door, opening it in the process.

When it burst open, we celebrated by going into my bed. Pushing Y/N into the bed was pretty arousing. We didn't need words or foreplay, we're pretty straightforward. Our lips once connected again, heavy breaths and low moans was all I could hear.

We slowly undressed each other, our lips was still intact, rushing into things was never really your motto. I felt your skin made contact with mine, I felt the heat from your body. My hands were making their way to her tender breasts, I slowly massaged it until the nipples turned like tiny stones. A loud moan came out from her mouth, I couldn't resist and licked them, biting them playfully. Another moan came out from her sweet lips, I stopped as I took out my hard and mounting manhood, I rest it unto her thighs. Y/N sits up, looking at me with questions in those eyes.

"What happend?You got tired?" Y/N whisper in her sultry voice.

"Taunting me?Really?"

Before she can even respond I got on top of bed and smirked, your naked body was softly laying in my bed. This made me harder, you're so perfect in every way. My hands are already in your legs, spreading it wide and open. I can see you closing your eyes at my touch, I drove my two fingers inside her. She moans with the contact it made, eyes rolled in the back of her head. I ravish her breast with my mouth as my fingers interact inside her.

"Fuck, Steve!"

I was hitting the right places, she was twisting left and right, her hands were gripping my sheets, I pulled my fingers out and replaced it with my organ. A loud piercing moan escapes her lips as I pump into her, every thrust was in sync with her breathing. I slowly grunt as I pump harder and deeper into her, I yank her legs back, as my other hand gripped her ass. I dug myself further into her, setting off another shattering moan.

"Steve, faster."

I increasing the speed, she wrapped her arms around my back, her nails digging into my skin. Pain and Pleasure was a great mixture for me. I hit every possible spot inside her, the nails dug deeper as I thrust harder and much more deeper. The speed increased once again, as I feel both of our climax building up inside, it can explode any second now. Every thrust I make, every moan she screams, and every sweat that drips was a cherry on top.

"Fuck, I'm coming!"

With that we both exploded into each other, I felt a warm liquid flows between her legs and mine. A small smile appeared on her lips as we were both out of breath, her hair was all disheveled.

"Well, that was fun.." She whisper, her voice hoarsed from all the moaning she did.

"I can see.." I joked causing her cheeks to blush..

"Shut up!"

I pulled out, she shivered at that action. I laid next to her, she looks at me with love and compassion. She pecked a kiss in my lips, cuddling besides me as the moon peaked through my windows. Y/N deserves every love and adoration in the world, I'm going to marry you someday..

This is my first smut ever, I hope it was..nice? If there's anything wrong I did in the smut, you can tell me, I'll do anything to improve it! I also accept request, any characters!

It's sad, that we can't joke about our death in game, I'd definitely do that lol I mean, poor Belphie, BUT still lol

Sad, that we can't see which creatures exist in Devildom. Well at least Eliza can

Well, her mother abused her, that's why she hated own family, after mothers suicide she thought she will be free, but one-day someone left a dog in her car, which became her second family. It was nice, Anders was truly happy to the first time in her life. And boom, after a few years some hooligans killed that dog, and Anders just give up. She wanted to be alone and refuse to contact with other people. She's didn't want to feel something like that again and that's why she tried didn't got closer with bros. Anders still helped them, bc nobody helped her, so she decided to broke this cycle. But no more. She's wanted that bros just forgot about her after first farewell, well... she's mistake lol I mean she's love them, but basically forbid yourself to feel that and accept their love

Anders know russian and well, english. She actually has russian roots, so she often spoke it at home.

Yeah, I still wonder how they can eat Devildoms food...

Yep, good that her cousin help her with work, the only one in her family which Anders didn't hate lol

Thaanks, I really love her design, which changed very often, but the fact that she's has the same height as Lucifer never

DAMN YEAH I LOVE REVERS LUCIO! I MEAN DEVIL MC... THAT'S TOO HOT Even when I romanced Julian, I still thinks, that my MC became the Devil lol

Yes! Take that puppy! Agreed, agreed

Well, it's hard to be not sadistic when you with Julian lol, but we're still love him very much. Julian would be definitely glad to marry Len, and I bet he's perfect husband

Which magic Len prefer? She has a familiar? She's trying to teach Julian? How she feeling about her death?

Well, my MC's name Loki. Her canon was Julian, but after Lucio and Muriel...I don't have a canon. She already had a lover and later wife before death lol

As opposed to game, she wanted to explore death, because she knew how return, but Asra destroyed plans by return her by himself. And opposed to game she'll return own memories.

She's very old and strong magician. Was a royal, the Archon, before her twin lost his mind and try to kill her (he's good boy, just was cursed by Gods, which think that was a blessing), so she ran away and became a wanderer. I like to think that she's was the reason death Julian's parents, and basically became catalyst Portia's route. Loki was Asra teacher, because if I remember correctly, he's said that he just returned what was already MC's.

She's kind, charismatic, humorous, friendly and sarcastic. As teacher and Archon she's more serious and strict. Never get angry and always try to find a bright side, even when her parents was killed, and when her brother goes crazy. The only one moment when she was angry, when her wife was killed for connection with the magician, which was her.

Very bad empath, that's why Julian is good for her, bc he's the opposite to her. Probably marry him one day, and if had kids, they will created by magic, bc her body would eat the kids...

Before death/after .D

Right!? I'm real disappointed at our lack of ability to joke about MC's death cause not only is it hilarious and petty BUT it also opens up the potential for angst. Remember how Mammon got pissed at MC for joking about dying BEFORE they actually died?? Imagine how upset he'd be if they did it now

What the hell!? What the hell is with this angst!?😭 honestly though I love stories where a character is slow to trust cause of past experiences and then you get to watch them open up? Good shit💫

They brought up the food thing in om! too!! Wait;

Humans can't eat Devildom and Celestial Realm food! BUT MC's never had a problem with either. That's the fourth piece of evidence pointing to MC not being fully human

Okay but: 👏🏼👏🏼TALL👏🏼👏🏼MCS👏🏼👏🏼💯

Devil MC is so hot!!? I really want a dating sim where MC is evil? Like MC's brought back from the dead but after dying and losing their soul they've lost their humanity and are 'evil' (kinda like Rime from Last Legacy) but they still pretend to be the same in front of the LIs. The endings are:

1.) MC corrupts the LI and they both go on to commit horrid crimes

2.) MC learns about love from the LI and though they still aren't 'good' they're willing to leave behind their murderous ways for the LI

Like I would pay good money for this

1.) She prefers small magic spells to help her out in her day to day life: orbs of light, levitating things when she has to carry a lot of items, small healing spells, spells to help with potions, protection charms, little tricks to entertain people/kids but when she's pissed off/protective her magic becomes stronger/more forceful in order to attack or defend

2.) They have no familiar of their own other than what the game itself suggested - Melchoir possibly being the closest thing MC has to a familiar

3.) They're definitely trying to teach Julian. Somedays are better than others

4.) She prefers not to think about it. She imagines 'Len' from before their death to be a completely different person who she shared some similarities with. She prefers to think of this as a new start. She's her own new person and though before knowing the cause of her amnesia she was desperate to find out more of her new life, now that she knows what happened to her, she's okay with not knowing her past and instead exploring the world and making new memories

Okay why does your MC have enough content to make a whole prequel!?? Like damn I would read the shit outta this?? I mean ancient magical families with drama!? A wife!!? More of Death's Realm!!? (I have SO much love for The Arcana's Death and I really wish we got to see them more). An impact on the LI's backstories!!? Like yes!? I need all of this!

She looks so cool!! That eye!!! The hand!? Yes!

Lore Olympus Fast-Pass thoughts (208)

Sorry for the delay, I had a friend over.

Oh, that was easy. Good! For now, at least. Let's see how far this character development goes.

So if my theory is true, then he doesn't know about it. Still not refuted, though. Lots of things still pointing towards it.

It's nice they do love eachother, though.

I'm gonna assume Hestia also doesn't know about my theory. I don't think she'll oppose Hades and Persephone now, but...

Aw, earblush <3

Aaaaaawwww- wait, is that a thing that actually happens? Do gods turn into stardust if mortals stop believing in them in this setting? Is that why Zeus will try to do something when-

Yup, sounds good. Persephone has lived a life where she's had to adapt and shape and perfect herself to deal against the currents of other people's expectations being imposed onto her without any real warning. Now she has something SHE wants secured, and a partner who loves and respects her, so she wants to savor that, instead of just swallowing it.

Hades' lips, tho.

I love that Hades is still conscientious about boundaries and not assuming things about their relationship, even immediately after they just finally cemented it. But yeah, you can sleep together now, bro, you've earned it and also you just did that before the makeover.

Hera has good taste and also it shows that she chose it.

Yeah, about that.

Poor Demeter, even your daughter couldn't stop for a second to spare you a thought.

We know the broad strokes of how this situation will develop, but I was thinking earlier if she'll go put pressure on Hestia and that could make her falter. We are back to a very liminal part of the story, where we know the direct next step but it'll probably get somewhat extended for a while. It could be that her and Hestia will try to pressure her into the "no sex and relationships allowed" clause and THAT's when they get to know about the rape, but it's a low probability. I swear it's not that I'm obsessed with that reveal, I'm just considering all options of how the situation may unfold for all the characters.

Something that I do think will happen soon, however, is Adonis. For those not in the know, Adonis was found by Aphrodite as a baby but she gave him to Persephone to raise, so it fits this part of the story where she will be living alone and we'll get to see some more domestic bliss with Hades, this time with the family he wants, even if it's not biological. Adonis then chooses to stay with Aphrodite over Persephone and I think this will also tie into Psyche and Eros' story. As in, I think that whole cursed thingy that Perse gives to Psyche when she's on errands for Aphrodite might be a revenge prank gone wrong, but who's to say. Keep in mind however, that according to myth Adonis is killed by either Ares or Apollo or both, so that'll be juicy. I should probably make a masterpost of my predictions, actually.

The Avengers reactions to You getting into a fight at school

Warnings: cursing

Reader wrote to be female (pronouns are only used like once so i mean, anyone can read it ig). (Thinking I'm writing an actual fic out of this)

(idk what/where this gif is from)

(Also I don't own any of the Gifs used)

You got into a fight because some girl was being a bitch to someone you like 😏 (it can be whoever you want, irl crush, Peter, MJ, etc. your life, not mine)

You don't normally pick fights with people so this is like, a big thing for you

The bitch hit you first

You dodged her second attack

and broke her nose

You ended the fight

You ditch school and come back to the tower

Peter told Tony

Tony told everyone else

Peter saw everything go down

Fucking snitch

Don't worry, your crush helped you clean up after :) (you were bleeding a bit)

Tony:

Not too happy about hearing about it

He was passive-agressive to you when you got back to the tower, made you ✨uncomfy✨(He's scary when he's upset ok? He also lowkey has an army of robots)

He finally asks you about what happened and you tell him

Teases you about doing it to get Peter's attention (whether that's true or not, you deny it)

He's very much like a dad about the whole situation

Steve:

When he asks you about what happens, you start cursing

Comes at you about cursing

"Language."

"Sorry, BuT sTiLl!"

Crosses his arms at you, trying to be angry with you

Is secretly proud of you for standing up for someone because, he too, is a goody two-shoes and probably would have done something similar

Picks up that it may have been your crush who compelled you to do it but doesn't bring that up

Bruce:

Indirect about approaching you about it

When he does bring it up, he's a lot more calm than Tony, but gives you a mini lecture

"If that had been me approaching that situation, I never would have because the Big Guy would have probably killed them and we don't want that."

Makes sure you're ok tho

Natasha:

You can't tell if she's disappointed, proud, angry, what

She simply asks what happened, casually springing the topic on you right as your taking a sip of your favorite drink (you choke on it)

At first, she just listens intensely which scares you a bit, but is secretly proud of you that you stopped a fight with one hit (strong bby :3)

She gets you to tell her why you started bickering in the first place and you just come out and tell her about your crush

She encourages you to ask this certain someone out ;)

Clint:

Stalks you from the vents for a little bit before dropping down to interrogate you

Damn near break his nose

At first he scolds you for fighting, but loosens up

"If you were one of my kids-"

He's said too much

You weren't supposed to know he has a whole ass secret family (let's just pretend okay?)

Oh well, cat's out of the bag now

He tells you to not tell anyone what he said

Crawls back into the vent and disappears

Thor:

Isn't the best judge of scenarios like this because things are so much different on Asgard

Praises you for doing the right thing

The two of you talk about fights you've been in and the worst injuries the two of you have sustained (Thor wins that obviously)

You excitedly tell him how it felt getting hit for someone and he fangirls with you as well

He offers you alcohol (despite you being a bit young) (Do you take it?)

Tony yells from the other room

"Don't encourage her, Thor!"

Bucky:

Doesn't really approach you about it, he doesn't really talk with you much tbh (he doesn't really talk with anyone other than Steve, or younger people) (Look, idc if the timeline's screwed up)

Kinda proud you took a punch for someone tho

Gives you a thumbs-up when you pass him after talking with Steve about it

Sam:

Much like Steve, he's a bit stern with you, crossing his arms

Tells you to not do stupid shit like that (without him)

He only loosens up when you tell him that this certain someone has unconsentually stolen your heart

Won't stop teasing you about your crush but doesn't spread it to the other Avengers

Rhodey:

"You fucking what!?"

High-fives you when you tell him the story

Also encourages you about the ordeal like Thor

He's a bad influence on you

"You shouldda just gone in, hit her, and been like 'Boom, you looking for this?'"

Everyone in earshot just freezes and just blankly stares at him

"Not funny, okay. Bad joke."

Tony looks at him, daring him to encourage this behavior

Wanda:

She doesn't confront you about it, more like you race up to her and giddily tell her about it

Asks if you're okay (which you confirm)

Lowkey wants to see what it looked like

"If you want you can look in my head if you wanna see it it was sO aWeSoMe!"

Refuses your offer but looks anyways because she's curious

Nearly freaks out at your memory when you get hit

Very satisfied when you hit the bitch back though

Sees your crush that way, she'll talk with you about your crush when you bring it up later, she doesn't want to ruin your excitement

(I'm considering her a possible crush insert too now so maybe she already saw it and is like, still horrified you'd do that for her bc she doesn't think shes really worth getting sucker punched for so let's do this:)

(She's concerned that you're excited about taking a hit for her but thinks its sweet)

Peter:

He fucking SAW IT HAPPEN! (Ned saw it too)

He freaked out and helped you clean up outside before you buggered off to clean up elsewhere (with the help of your crush, unless it was him, then he leads you somewhere to help clean you up better)

Doesn't know whether to be horrified or impressed

When he tells Tony, he's screaming about what happened and is really blown away by the incident

Really worried about you afterward

Regretted telling Tony because he thought you'd kill him for it (I mean, you might ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ )

Won't shut up about it for the next 3 weeks

Vision:

He really only brought up that you looked different

Asked if you got hurt somehow because of the bruise and cut on your face

You tell him what happened

Doesn't really understand why you of all people would get into a fight

Warns against the (obvious) results of taking physical damage

Isn't much of a supporter or disciplinary figure on this whole ordeal, very neutral

[deepdarkdelights]

This is such a Top tier piece, I'll say my favourite in Predator uni along with Prey (I luv those 2 freaks🥰)

For someone purported as the heartless one, he is the most dub-con types romantic (from his side) shall i say. He's doing the things that I thought Jungkook would have?! But he has zero apathy towards himself too. It's almost as if he is so far removed from his own emotions that he doesn't really register is wishes and wants anymore. Highly Emotionally Retarded both of them 🙊 Good luck getting a single love you or even a smile in your direction for the next 1000 years.

I can't even imagine what MC's going through. It's like being cursed for a lifetime with your worst nightmare. I literally haven't cried ever reading any fic but this made that happen.

I feel for the mother too though. Now she'll have more regret and guilt for not cherishing the MC when she was there & the whole family of that officer 😭😭 He so didn't deserve this 😭😭 even though it felt like he had a crush on her before she left or maybe even her sister?? Really?

Namjoon will be super pissed two newborns and that also one with a vendetta 😷 Like I don't envision MC ever bearing Hobi especially in first few years when she's still new and powerful. The only reason she won't kill him is maybe you can't kill or disobey your creator. Otherwise, Mr. Hobi is a dead meat.

On the bright side, I can strongly see the whole maknae line following the I'LL CONVERT MY MC MYSELF route.

As for the changing, I kid you not I have always seen this in a dream (Believe me Like a Real Dream, dreamt while sleeping 🤐 months ago when I first read Predator 🤐) But for some reason it was always Jungkook doing it, feeding his MC his blood from the day he decided he'll keep her incase he drains her a bit much or something 🤣😂. So here it goes,

In my dream when the Sun turns golden with flecks of orange and pink Jungkook returns to the mansion with his MC in tow. They have not even entered completely yet when they are stopped by Joon, Jimin and Jin. He is all smiles asking a scared MC to introduce herself to his brothers. Joon get very angry though. He says "I have had enough from you, if you wanna do grown up things then you gonna deal with the grown up responsibilities that come with it. You can't just barge in here whenever you please". MC starts shivering and crying very badly and now it's a whole situation. Jimin's MC half asleep half awake comes down sulking and koala bear hugs a cooing Jimin that she can't sleep. Tae get super jealous and Jin makes a yucky face at them only to be hit by his boho hippie MC. Jungkook takes both of theirs luggage upstairs and starts preparing his room with a still angry Joon. Now, Jungkook gets very angry and he starts shouting "I thought that you'll will be happy for me like real brothers but you're just jealous that your girlfriend doesn't care about you at all so you're taking your frustrations out on other people with happy relationships". Their back and forth continues as they make the bed with a violently shaking MC in the corner of the room. Jungkook picks her up cooing at her that It'll all be okay just give it 3 days, stay strong and he's there with her always. Joon gets livid "What're you even going to do with her?" And Jungkook just gives her a kiss on her lips with a final promise of everything will be okay love as he twists her neck laying her on the bed.

DON'T LAUGH 😹😹😹😹

~ 👁️👁️

Oh yeah, Hoseok is a special case that's for sure. I think his fic had the most death in it in this series 🤔

But yeah, he really has tunnel vision and I don't think he realizes just how difficult his life is going to be with the MC.

I wish I could say I feel for the MC's mom, I do to a degree, but some of the things she does and says really tick me off (probably bc they come from real-world experience lmao)

I like your interpretation of how the Predator MC would be turned! In my head I picture JK being very defensive from the beginning. I can see him keeping her behind his back and firmly holding onto her forearm. It would be a pretty high stress situation when he returns to the house with her. Maybe we will see that in one of the fics 👀
