#<-name for this future flora au

[overthattwilight]

Professor, I'd never dream of betraying you. You trust me, right?

Future Flora AU

In this AU, instead of Future Luke, there is Future Flora who guides Professor Layton and Luke in Future London

She is part of the family, but is helping Future Luke to stop Future Layton. So she is a spy

Future Luke still exists, but due to him being in trouble recently, Future Flora takes his role. Until Future Luke fully recovers, she will be there for Professor Layton and Luke

However, there is something dubious about Future Flora...is she really on Future Luke's side? Can she be trusted?

About her true identity, her real name is Chloris. She is a stage actor hired by Clive. The reason she joined him is to have revenge on Bill Hawks

Future Flora taking Future Luke's role wasn't what was planned, but no problem to Chloris. She is a professional at acting, and she plays her part well

Her being a dubious character is intended, to let Future Luke step in whenever the time comes. She doesn't know exactly when, but she's keeping the character until she gets the sign

svsss au where sqq and sqh meet and become bros far far earlier, like shortly after sqq transmigrates. he and sqh start plotting asap to figure out how to avoid their imminent deaths. sqq puts a silencing array around the bamboo house and kicks lbh out whenever it’s time for a hometown-bro scheming session.

except one day, he fucks up the silencing array and, of course, binghe never goes far when he’s kicked out of the bamboo house, so he overhears some things his shizun and sqh talk about. namely, their knowledge of the future? and their investment in lbh’s fate, specifically? sqq seems very occupied with the idea that lbh will fall into the endless abyss, which explains all the strange lessons shizun had been giving him about abyssal beasts and flora.

so, knowing that sqq and sqh have uncanny knowledge of the future and hearing them speak sometimes in a language unlike any he’d ever heard, luo binghe comes to a very reasonable conclusion. his shizun, obviously, is some sort of god or celestial being who has descended in the interest of ensuring luo binghe’s happiness, safety, and success.

obviously, he realizes, shizun and shang-shishu had seen a future filled with misery and violence for luo binghe. and at least on shizun’s part, he was so enraged by that future that he bartered with some unscrupulous “system” for permission to intervene in mortal affairs.

to think a god would descend from the heavens just because he was moved by compassion for luo binghe. that he would be so outraged by the fate written for him in the stars that he would come down and rewrite it himself. truly, luo binghe thinks that night as he prepares dinner, his shizun is the kindest, wisest, most beautiful being in all the heavens, if he would move fate itself just on binghe’s behalf.

Did I make an au just for a rarepair? Yes, but heres my idea of a shen twin au

In my version Shen Yuan transmigrates into the body of 5 yr old Shen Shi, twin of Shen Jiu. It is very important to note that in this au SJ and YQ refer to SY with "A-Shi" and "Xiao-Shi" respectively, and SY takes up the identity of Shen Shi. SY is also fully cognizant when he migrates so he has the complete thoughts of a 20~ yr old while in the body of a 5 yr old. This causes some major dysphoria and also anger at the helplessness of being in a body that does not fit him and also the fact that he has no social nor physical power because he is a child. He also views SJ and YQ as his little brothers even if he is actually the youngest physically.

He eventually is taken in my the Qiu family alongside his brother. It is when SJ starts to bond with Qiu Haitang that it finally pieces together that his brother is going to be SQQ and grieves for the events that he knows is going to happen to him. The building rage and anger at the helplessness of the situation culminates in Shen Yuan starting the massacre with SJ instantly jumping in and causing the majority of deaths. When SJ carries out the unconscious body of Qiu Haitang SY realizes the opportunity in front of him. He knows that she is going to be the kickstarter of his brother's downfall and in that moment grabs the nearest weapon, and with a heavy heart, kills her as SJ watches in shock. He turns to SJ telling him "You can't leave any witnesses, they always eventually spill" before both run off. I dont know what to do with the Wu Yanzi so I'm ignoring it for now. And im also unsure if he gets a system but we'll see.

Eventually they meet up with Yue Qi now Yue Qingyuan and the anger SJ has towards him. SY is also angry but its more so for SJ's sake than his own. The two of them become a part of Cang Qiong sect and while SJ is taken in by the Qing Jing peak, SY is taken in by the beast and flora peak (which I do not have named). They both become head disciples and later peak lords. SY also is able to clock that SQH is not the original version due to airplane saying a modern phrase and a friendship forms. SY is also the one to start biting and defending his brother when QQQ or LQG take potshots at him. It's while they are still disciples that SY meets Su Xiyan while hes on a mission and they worked together for a bit before SXY split. They continued to meet up until eventually a friendship formed and SY meets TLJ a "companion" of SXY. SY clocks who the two of them are goes to SQH to learn all he can about them and their future. SXY and TLJ eventually fall for each other and SY makes sure to prevent the palace master from finding out as long as he can. He also warns them about the palace master and to not trust any letters not hand delivered by SY as he will act as a middle person to make sure no one intercepts them. It is also during this time that SXY and TLJ both gain interest in SY. Neither can explain fully why but his autistic swag, photographic memory and ability to name drop paragraph long information in seconds intrigued them. They start courting him, shen yuan is of course oblivious. It is also important that SY introduced himself to TLJ and SXY with the name "Shen Yuan" so only the two of them refer to each other as such. He also clocks when SXY is pregnant and tells her as such when symptoms start to show and again, not to trust the palace master. By this time he is now a peak lord alongside his brother.

Eventually the old palace master finds out and instead of targeting TLJ, he first targets their lynch pin, shen yuan. He sends letters to SJ and YQY about SY being a traitor. Showing him being a demon sympathizer and hanging out sect secrets that actually SQH was leaking due to the system. SY is captures, a trial occurs and SY is charged as guilty with the punishment of execution, but YQY and SJ object. Since it was CQ secrets he was sharing they have the official say. So instead of execution they instead lock him up on the beast peak using talismans and sigils. He is not allowed to talk to anyone besides fellow peak lords and his head disciple. He cannot leave the peak without another peak lord monitoring him and this also applies when teaching. This lockdown completely breaks him as he lost trust with his family and the confinement dives him crazy as a peak lord he commonly left to document and work upon his bestiaries. This leaves him in a depressive state and constantly paranoid as he cant trust anyone. And No One has told him definitive news if SXY and TLJ are safe, SQH has confirmed that TLJ was not captured and helped SXY but he has no clue where they are now and if baby LBH is with them. As SY is confined on his mountain he stops caring about appearances and starts wasting away seen in image 3. I havent figured the rest out with LBH but he does become a part of cang qiong sect under Qing Jing, the abuse he faces stays the same. If he is raised with TLJ and SXY or by the washer woman I do not know yet. LBH hearing about the rumors of a monster on the beast peak heads out and comes face to face with SY who is delighted to see him but also horrified that about 14+ years have now passed. This pushes him a little out of his depressive episode because now he has a son to take care of and he can't waste away in front of him. He needs to act strong. He teaches LBH the best he can while contained and tells him about his parents. The two form a father son dynamic where both cant really escape the situation they are in but at least have each other for company. SY also holds onto LBH's jade pendant so it isnt lost. He also tells LBH that if he meets a demon named TLJ, to mention the name Shen Yuan.

While on a mission LBH meets up with TLJ and tells him that he's met SY and TLJ loses it (pos). He asks where he is as SXY and TLJ have been trying to find him with no success. He is told that hes on the beast peak in cang qiong and has been contained there for the last 16 years. TLJ then hatches a game plan to free him and the decide to use the immortal conference as a distraction. Most of the cultivation world will be at that conference so minimal security will be held at the sect. They use this to their advantage. TLJ strikes a deal with MBJ to cause a distraction to keep the cultivation world on the two of them even if alarms go off that SY is escaping. MBJ agrees to this as TLJ allows him to target any huan hua disciple he sees (they dont tell SXY this). While they cause a distraction by appearing on the 7th day of the conference, SXY sneaks into cang qiong peak and works on the talisman and sigils. This works and eventually she gets to SY he sees the bad shape he is in, but it was better than what LBH originally saw. The two of them start crying and SXY activates a 2 way communication artifact with TLJ telling him it was a success.

TLJ then turns to MBJ and MBJ teleports, appears in front of SXY and SY and teleports the two of them to the demon world. TLJ then turns to his son who's demon seal now broke and decides to do some father son bonding and the two both go into the eternal abyss together, as this is a tradition for heavenly demons. The two of them return after 1-2 years and have MBJ teleport them out rather than using Xin Mo.

AU | SY Transmigrates as Someone Else | WQW Edition

ヾ⁠(⁠*⁠’⁠Ｏ⁠’⁠*⁠)⁠/~

In this world, when attempting to transfer SY into SQQ, the system glitches.

This glitch happens as the ‘SQQ villain’ role is still occupied, meaning SQQ would have still been present in his body, probably being able to counteract/treat the Qi deviation when it started, as he had some magical herb or another that he had on him due to his previous occurrences and history of bad deviations, so he survives.

SY is just there in the system’s waiting room, watching this screen and text glitch out.

He questions this malfunctioning system on wtf it wants him to do /who he would have become, cause come on, obviously he was gonna be isekai’ed and has suspicions on where he would be going as of what he was going off about and the voices he heard before he expired.

He chooses to shelve his panic and grief for later when he has time to process and mourn once he removes himself from whatever the fuck this situation is, cause like duh, he is dead he’ll never see his family againohmygod-

Anyways, he finds out that he would have been placed in SQQ’s body and nope what the hell do you want me to die?!?! and tries to see if he could be anyone else, ‘cause like come on, it’s PIDW!

He wants to at least be able to see all the cool flora and fauna if he has no choice of what world he will be living in, and although living as a woman may mean he gets to live longer, there is the threat of the heavenly pillar and the sudden transition of living as a man to a woman would be just too jarring.

So! After the system sorta relents at seeing that this guy is giving it another way to operate as well as saving its ass from being taken to see its higher-ups, it gives a list of potential other people that he can become that sorta has similar power and potential to affect the plot as being SQQ would have granted, although never as much given SQQ’s natural predisposition.

SY gets given the choice of LQG, QQQ, The Old Palace Master, Gongyi Xiao, and a few others.

Given his desire of wanting to live a relatively alive existence, he forgoes the more plot-present characters, such as Gongyi Xiao and The Old Palace Master, as well as LQG (cause he does not want to get shanked by SQQ, please and thank you), and due to previous arguments and reasons, he forgoes QQQ.

He looks over the remaining names and sees WQW, a character that doesn’t actually appear or get mentioned much in PIDW, is known to be the peak lord of the sword-forging peak, has massive muscles and has literally, like, one line when LBH got sent over and picked up Zheng Yang.

Additionally, the guy owns that sword that can tell if someone is possessed, so he would only have to stay away from the thing if the system doesn’t ensure that he can’t be ousted as such.

With this, SY as WQW would be living his best life as this guy bc he can fly on his sword all day and stay away from the plot while planning his escape when Cang Qiong Mountain Sect sets alight!

So with his choice made, SY, now WQW, wakes up half-disorientated, his forearms aching and the sounds of crying children and concerned/panicked teenagers.

After he gets dragged to Qian Cao Peak, the still-glitching system gives him the rundown of the situation of how he entered his new body; apparently Original!WQW got caught up in trying to stop a disciple from experimenting with volatile sword materials and the forge blew up as he tried to do damage control after he got everyone out, gaining a head injury and leaving him with plausible temporary amnesia, in addition to a sort of broken/glitched OOC lock that gradually corrupts over time till it's gone due to the vague understanding of the guy.

SY|WQW [we’ll just call him WQW from now on] realised that he was placed in PIDW a few months before the disciple choosing where LBH officially enters the sect, gets picked, and then is abused by SQQ [future him problem!!!] and although he doesn’t want LBH to face all those injustices, the system will not let him take purposeful actions to change certain plot points in the face of system punishment.

After he is fully released from Qian Cao Peak, he is expected by both the sect and mandated by the system to attend the disciple choosing.

While watching the poor children climb the massive staircase and start digging their hole to the best of their ability in an attempt to become a part of the prestigious sect and change the course of their life which they would most likely wish they didn’t join when LBH sets this place on fire…and sees what he thinks is a smol fluffy girl who has the determination and a spark in her eye attempting to dig a massive hole meticulously to catch the eye of a peak lord.

He runs through each wife in LBH’s harem to see if he can match this cute jie-jie with, and can’t seem to match her.

Looking around, he takes note that the other peak lords are overlooking her, seemingly disinterested or glancing her over with slight disgust at her thoroughly worn-through but obviously meticulously cleaned-up/washed clothing.

His eyeing had caught the eye of a little girl, most likely NYY who stood next to who he could only assume to be SQQ. She asks SQQ something about having a new martial sibling, which draws the attention of both SQQ and LQG to the girl.

Obviously having changed something as now NYY is eyeing this girl instead of her future demon harem husband system don’t punish me, as well as placing this jie-jie in the lane of SQQ, who is eyeing her with an unnamed but obviously not good look cause this cute girl is in front of a lecherous man as well as in the sight of LQG who wow has such a womanly visage I'd have thought that he would be more gruff who is set to die off in a few years and is peak lord of a boyish and brutish peak which he doesn't think that such a pretty jie-jie should be on, there is only one thing he can do!

So, at the end of the day, he ends up picking this smol bean before these ppl can get their hands on her, as obviously she wasn’t accepted in the original PIDW and if she had lived would have most likely ended up as a harem member, cause no way would such a cute bean not grow up and not catch the eye of LBH!

Obviously he won't let her suffer such a fate or leave her in the hands of SQQ. This causes some of his martial siblings to side-eye him, as he has a history of choosing more well-built candidates and not skinny dirty runts that look like death-warmed-over.

This smol jie-jie has sparkles in her eyes as she gets called over by one of WQW’s runners, which light up more the closer she gets to her new to-be-Shuzin!!! HIM!

WQW feels proud of his choice and decides that that is enough of tempting fate and the system, so he turns to leave, promising himself to ensure this little jie-jie lives her best life away from the plot [and LBG and his harem] on his peak!

…not seeing the system glitching and erroring to hell and back, not able to punish him as it was not a purposeful choice and raging in its system space at the hell that its higher-ups would put it through.

All because SY|WQW didn’t take note of the child’s outerwear. :)

[nanite-city]

hey uh. remember my fallout au? its okay if you don't just know im still thinkin abt it This is "John Dory and the Fabulous BRO-TONES", often shortened to just "The BRO-TONES".

im still figuring out what Brozone's whole Deal is, but the shortened version of the convoluted thing thats in my head is that they were a singing group living in a vault, and eventually they split up, left said vault, and abandoned branch there as a baby, similar to canon except Brozone is moreso based on some of the Very First boybands, like The Ink Spots and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. Anyways this is them BEFORE the horrors. Read more if you're unfamiliar with Fallout and want a little more context !!

For those unfamiliar with the Fallout games, its more or less set in what America in the 1950s Thought the future would be (think robot butlers, flying cars, everything powered by nuclear fusion energy, etc), aaaand then that future had a nuclear fallout, hence the name. The "aesthetics" of the game are Very tongue-in-cheek 1930s-1950s "American Dream" with classic songs from the era, radio dramas and the general cultural "vibe" of that era, where everyone with power and money pretended everything was perfect and it was very much not. Anyways the entire world ended, some people got too irradiated and became what are known as "ghouls", the fauna and flora mutated in extreme ways, and its a desolate and hostile environment to survive in, but its all good bc we still have music by Billie Holiday. Bioshock on land. Well technically Fallout was first so Bioshock is Fallout underwater. Anyways its. its Skyrim with guns. whatever lmao.

Pen Pals

Summary: The withering rose never finds love. Right?

Pairing: Lord!Bruce Wayne x Lady!Reader; Lord!Clark Kent x Lady!Reader

Warnings: angst, unrequited love, unrequited feelings, regency au, mentions of rejection, a hint of fluff

A/N: This is an alternative version of Windfall with different characters.

A summer night dream, that’s what it was, and nothing else. 

A summer filled with love letters and daydreams of a withering rose came to a sudden end. 

Fall came much too soon. Along with the heartbreak caused by rejection.

Lord Wayne made you believe he’ll court for you when he returns from his summer residence. All the secrets you shared in your letters were for nothing.

He didn’t have the guts to look at you when he stepped inside your father’s house. Lord Wayne ignored your longing looks, and that you put flowers in your hair to impress him. 

He told you so many times about his favorite flowers and you wanted him to know you read every line he wrote to you.

You wrung your hands and waited for him to mention your name, only to ask your father for allowance to court for someone else.

He didn’t say your name. 

Flora. A beautiful name for a beautiful young woman. The name of your cousin, not yours.

He came to your home, but not for you. A man like him only courts for the pretty dames, young and polite. Petite and most importantly, without wit. 

Lord Bruce Wayne came back only to court for your cousin, not you. Your heart broke into a million little pieces when you realized that you are not the woman he’ll ask to become his bride.

“Oh my, did you hear,” your cousin swoons, unbeknownst of your broken heart, “Lord Wayne invited me to go for a walk with him!”

“That’s wonderful,” you force a smile on your lips, and nod. “You shouldn’t let him wait,” you hastily say to make her leave. “You’ll make a beautiful bride.”

Flora smiles at you like she used to when she was much younger.

You’re like an elder sister to her, and you don’t have the heart to tell her how the man asking for her hand led you on…

“Dear Lady Y/N,” you read out loud before ripping another letter into pieces. You throw it into the fire and watch it turn into dust. Just like your hope for a future with the Lord. “He lied…”

You read another letter and another. He talks about his travels and never answers your questions. When you read the sixth letter you realize Lord Wayne only ever asked about your cousins.

“Oh,” you throw them into the fire to read the next one. Again, he asks about Flora’s favorite flowers. Back then, when the letter arrived, you believed he only tried to include your family. Now you know you were a source of information to him, nothing else.

Lord Wayne used you to find out what Flora likes, and how to court her. You talked highly about him to your father all summer long; only for him to ignore you, and the role you played in getting his happily ever after.

You stop reading the letters and throw them into the fire, along with the flowers you pressed for him during summer. You wanted to show Lord Wayne the ones you love the most. Another mistake you won’t do again.

The fire eagerly feasts on the dried flowers, and you start to cry. The poor flowers are just like you, withered and colorless.

“Goodbye, Lord Wayne,” you whisper as you throw the last letter into the fire. 

“Lady Y/N,” Aurelia, the housekeeper calls for you. “Can you please come downstairs?” she politely asks. You know her all your life, and her tone tells you something must be wrong.

“Coming,” you softly say and wipe your eyes. You take a deep breath and decide to forget about your broken heart.

The moment Flora leaves your home to marry Lord Wayne, you won’t see much of him and her ever again.

The Lord lives secluded, far away from others. He won’t allow Flora to visit you often because he’s not a very sociable person.

That’s what you liked so much about him. You’re awkward around too many people too.

You open the door and leave the safety of your room to walk downstairs. You put on a fake smile as she tells you that someone came to visit.

“Lord Kent,” you curtsy and try to force a smile on your face. “What brings us the honor of your presence?”

“Lord Wayne asked me to join him for a visit at your father’s house,” Lord Kent politely replies. He gives you an honest smile and dips his head as the housekeeper seems to be glued to your side.

“You missed them by an hour, Lord Kent,” you reply, barely hiding your anger. “If you hurry you can catch up with them. But be aware, Lord Wayne already courts Flora. You must settle for Calista instead.” 

“What? I-“ He’s speechless by your bluntness. “What if I wanted to court someone else?”

“Flora is taken, my Lord,” you force a pained smile on your lips. “They are both beautiful and well-behaved. One like the other, a rare flower you can plug. If you hurry, you can still catch up with them. Have a pleasant day, Lord Kent.”

You turn around to walk back upstairs. Aurelia holds back a chuckle as you ignore Lord Kent’s existence.

It’s impolite to not invite Lord Kent for tea, but your parents aren’t around, and you don’t want to end up being called something worse than a spinster.

“Lady Y/N,” Lord Kent says a little louder. “Please wait. I didn’t come here to court for Flora or her sister.” He steps closer and almost touches your shoulder. “Please look at me.”

You sigh and turn back around. “Lord Kent,” you meet his gaze, and let your eyes wander. His hair is a little longer, and a beard frames his handsome features. He's a little rougher around the edges since he's alone.

Some years back he lost his wife, and ever since then, he changed.

“Please let me explain my sudden appearance at your doorstep, my lady.”

“Lord Kent, this is inappropriate, and you know it,” you whisper. “We don’t have a chaperone around. Please tell me why you came here, and I’ll inform my father when he comes back.”

“Lady Y/N,” he clears his throat. Lord Kent nervously runs his fingertips through his locks, messing his hair up. “I came here to tell you that Lord Wayne’s intentions aren’t pure. The letters he wrote to you were…”

“What do you know about the letters?” You gasp and cover your mouth with one hand. “Please don’t tell me he showed you my letters. Please, Lord Kent. I…my father cannot know.”

“He only wanted to get to know more about Flora,” Lord Kent gently grabs your hand to hold it. “I found the letters and confronted him. I came here to make sure he won’t ruin your reputation.”

“I-“ you shake your head. “We only wrote a few letters. He was my pen pal during the summer. I burned all the letters now.” You give Lord Kent a pained smile. “I’m past him, and his lies.”

Lord Kent nods slowly. He watches your lips wobble and sighs deeply. “He should’ve never led you on.” His hands twitch when you pout. “A real man would properly court you, Lady Y/N.”

He lifts your hand to bring it to his lips. Lord Kent brushes his lips over your knuckles before placing a chaste kiss on your skin.

“I—” 

“I am such a man, Lady Y/N,” he wraps his large hands around yours, dwarfing your hand with his own. “I will return when your father is back.”

He releases your hand, and bows as he says his goodbyes.

You’re too stunned to even breathe. Did he just imply that he wants to court you?

You can only watch Lord Kent walk away. He has a spring in his step, and you wonder if you are the reason. 

Part 2

[drops-of-moonlights]

and rounding up the Solar System Senshi, the future squad! Which gives me the chance to talk about my version of the Quartet so I'm happy about that lol. More below!

"Under the protection of the Silver Crystal, the Senshi Apprentice of Love and Justice, Sailor Chibimoon! In the name of the future's Moon, I'll PUNISH YOU!"

Tsubasa's first Senshi form! She uses a copy of Usagi's powers, weaker but manageable, and she is. Not happy about that lol. Her collar has 4 stripes and her hair is far closer to Usagi's in this form.

"Fighting in the name of Justice, blessed by the stars, Sailor Eros! And in the name of Justice, I'll crush you!"

Tsubasa's real Senshi form! And all she needed was watching her only friend die! Fun times for this girl. The future Senshi team are united in their gloves having unique ends, no sleeves, and no stripes in their collar.

"Fighting in the name of Grace, Sailor Ceres! Your heart will scatter like petals in the wind!"

Chiara! She's what happens when you mix Minako's flair, Rei's determination and Michiru's ego, aka she's insufferable (affectionate). Unlike canon Ceres she's yellow here just to balance the color coordination better, but she keeps pink for all the wild roses in her attire. Her Senshi power is over flora and wind, her alternate title the Senshi of Spring. All of the future team sans Tsubasa look up to one specific member of the Inners, and Chiara looks up to Rei.

"Fighting in the name of Innocence, Sailor Pallas! I'll make you curl up in regret!"

Paola! Like her original anime counterpart she's somewhat childish with a dark streak the size of the Moon lol. She's actually the oldest of 3 kids (the Quartet isn't related in the AU), so she has her friends to unwind and be less of a second parental figure, hence her childish tendencies. Her orb belt is purely decorative! Her power as Pallas is over weather with a focus on snow/ice, wind and lightning, getting the moniker of Senshi of Winter. The Inner she looks up to the most is Minako.

"Fighting in the name of Willpower, Sailor Juno! I'll grind you into dust for your actions!"

Joana! I made her butch and therefore she gets pants when transformed just like Haruka does. She's attentive and wants to help others, but can be sometimes overbearing in that desire and ends up wanting to do everything herself instead. As Juno her power is over earth, particularly sand and rocks, as well as wind and some level of decay, earning the title of Senshi of Autumn. The Inner she looks up to the most is Makoto.

"Fighting in the name of Instinct, Sailor Vesta! In the name of Vesta, I'll burn you!"

Vera! Fighty girl with a sense of justice as big as her lack of self-preservation. Loves animals. Loves sports. Is actually the smartest of the team, she just doesn't care about how well she does in school lol. As Vesta her power covers fire, light and wind (The Quartet shares Wind as a power as you've seen already lol), focusing on making heatwaves and heat in general, earing the title of Senshi of Summer. The Inner she looks up to is Mio.

"Fighting in the name of Rebirth, touched by the Silence, Sailor Saturn! You won't be able to escape your fate!"

Hotaru 2.0! Now with less trauma! I don't have much to say about her, she's pretty self-explanatory, but fuku-wise she doesnt' get the classic petal sleeves until her upgrade form and she has dark thights now. The Inner she looks up to the most is Usagi, which causes minor conflict with Tsubasa.

"Fighting in the name of Insight, Sailor Nemesis! You'll reflect on your wrongdoing right this instant!"

And we end with Lia! The youngest of the team, she's quiet and shy when not with her friends, but she's vindictive and tries really hard to not let her feelings get the best of her. She also prefers to leave others to take care of important stuff. As stated before, Nemesis has powers over mirrors and reflections, giving her minor control over metal, light, darkness and even water. The Inner she looks up to the most is Ami.

[charleecat-bat]

The Dimensional Duo! Except this time they're aliens! I liked the idea of having beings from other planets in the Superhero AU. :p felt it was more interesting idea to play around with then the usual alternate dimension and timeline blah blah blah. (ignore the coloured lineart on silvers but not blazes, her flames would've made stuff really hard-) Backstories are below, they get wordy so I'm putting a cut:

Silver comes from a planet where while no word is verbally spoken between anyone, they all have telepathic abilities and their psychic abilities are extraordinarily powerful, as well as having telekinesis and some of the species being able to stretch the limits of what they're capable of Such as limited shapeshifting or even receiving visions of the future. While Silver was simply a youthful teen, trying to find his way within his society. Elders in his community got a frightful vision of the future. That their planet faced certain doom. They would do everything they could to prevent it, including fight off the very threat of their planet, Mephiles, the dark corrupted brains behind the invasion who is the vessel of the powerful destructive entity, the Iblis Trigger. They tried to stop them before they were powerful enough but alas, their planet was ravaged, literally falling apart as the destruction continued. (I am not giving any planet names because I can't come up with anything right now). The whole planet suffered, buildings, homes, all the constructed vessels of their kind were destroyed, the wildlife, fauna and flora now extinct, those who had not died yet were rapidly dying. Silver did everything he could to help but was barely surviving himself... it all felt hopeless. It was in this moment of darkness, where he felt his most alone. He got a vision, much like the elders of his kind would. Another planet, befalling this very same fate as his own. Not now, but soon... in the future. To a distant planet, Mephiles and the Iblis Trigger would attack this one too. But perhaps, this vision was a chance. A glimpse into a future he could prevent, but it meant he had to leave his planet behind. Becoming the sole survivor of his entire planet at this point. It took him sometime, but he reached the planet Mobius. Unfortunately he was captured, but thankfully freed by the group of heroes he'd call his allies. He learned to be able to shift into a more 'Mobian'-esque form to blend in more, trying to appear as a fellow superhero using his powers. Being dubbed 'Psy-Fly' by the media... he didn't quite get it but he accepted it. While his past is full of darkness, he tries to have a hope that things will be better, and when the time comes. He can fight for this planets future and save it, for now, he's happy to help bring justice.

Blaze is the alien princess of one of her planets kingdom, the people of her planet and the surrounding ones are beings of pure elemental energy. The ones of Blaze's planet being based off fire-esque elemental. While her planet and people are thriving and have reached peace with the fellow beings from other planets, Blaze is still under a tremendous amount of pressure to keep her people safe. Her biggest duty is to protect their most powerful artifacts, the Sol Emeralds and while she has fought hard to keep that safe, that is not her only duty. She is also tasked to be on the look out and cautious of any possible threats to their planet and their allies. Many times going off-planet to vanquish any foe that poses a threat to them. Thieves who had either attempted or managed to succeed stealing the Sol Emeralds, enemies who had plotted or attempted attacks, etc. During a meeting with the Alliance of their Planets, they had learned concerning news. The Black Arms, a dangerous alien hive-mind, lead by the villainous Black Doom, had contributed in the creation of an artificial being with Black Arms DNA, a being that would likely be extremely powerful... this was concerning to them. Blaze was entrusted to travel to the planet that had been the home to these scientists and try to find and properly assess if this Black Arms Hybrid was a threat, and if so, to vanquish it. By the time she arrived to the planet, it had been 50 years. Where said lifeform, Shadow, was already unleashed at this time and his power is truly formidable... and a concern. After a lengthy fight, Blaze soon discovered that not only was Shadow recently 'redeemed' and not looking to be a destructive being any longer, but he had not been aware of his Black Arms DNA... so Blaze became an ally after informing them of her mission and motivations. Seeing that she did not want to bring harm, but prevent it. Now, she goes back and forth between her home planet and Mobius. Keeping up with her duties but agreeing to keep her eye on the planet Mobius, thinking that if the Black Arms haven't made their move yet... that they might do it soon. Until then she has done her best to do right by Mobius and help the heroes she's allied herself with, being dubbed Princess Pheonix by the media... it took a while to grow on her.

Both these alien beings have become friends, finding companionship in being non-Mobian beings on Mobius and getting used to the new planet and enjoying new experiences.

Bonus: Silver's true Alien Form.

TATTOO — GAARA. PRELUDE.

the red ink drawn alongside your collarbone is shaped into a hibiscus flower which represents passion, love, and happiness; you are the complete opposite of gaara and thus he is drawn to your vulnerability and innocence.

━━ gaara x reader

━━ fluff, barely any plot follow/ kinda an au / maybe future smut… maybe.

— not exactly plot following lol sorry.

— will begin from childhood up to adulthood.

— best in whiteeee

— idk i'm free balling i fell back into naruto brainrot 😣

HAGIWARA [NAME], you belonged to the village hidden in the leaves; konohagakure. your clan was different than others, your people were not known due to immense strength or an incredible kekkai genkai blessed with ultra intelligence— no, but rather your clan was the foundation of the villages medical and non-medical plantation. for the hagiwara clan could sprout their very own flora and fauna, you all were the bountiful source of crops, flowers, herbs and more that strengthen the hidden leaf.

with that being said, those who are blessed within the main branch of the clan were to be heavily protected by the splendid ninja of the leaf; for they are the roots that keep the village beautiful and hidden by the gorgeous green leaves and rosy blossoms. nonetheless, the hagiwara clan hasn't the strongest fighting capacities nor strength, but they are abundant with medical ninja.

you were the princess of the clan, born with a tattoo inked within your skin with a red dye; along your collarbone is a red hibiscus flower. for you represent love, happiness, and joy.

you are not a ninja. you will never be a ninja. you are beyond gentle, just as a flower; although you are tasked to go to the partnered villages to blossom vegetation and medical supplies. your first mission is to travel to the village hidden in the sand for their land is far too dry with little to no vegetational support.

ok fuck it the specialist!kpop au + winx & trix

*now edited. for some reason tumblr didn’t save my edits before posting. thanks tumblr! :/

the specialists. conceptually? i kinda was thinking of a cleaner look or something like tvxq or shinee’s lucifer in their earlier years. had co-worker allegations for the first 2 years.

sky. the leader duh, but pre-debut he and riven had a huuuuge fight about who’d be the leader. had a 2 year cold war that a lot of fans and non-fans know about. has a looooot of brand deals, you see his face literally on every billboard.

brandon. if sky wasn’t the leader, it actually would’ve been brandon. he is the member that they go to whenever they need advice or comfort. flirty with fans, looooots of fan service. has a lot of gf stans, “our fans are my girlfriend.”

riven. is given the bad boy image when he debuted, butted heads with everyone pre-debut and the first year. doesn’t like doing fan-service, yet somehow has a lot of gf fans. ambitious, had originally joined for a future as a soloist. in s4, riven was the vocalist for the specialist impromptu band. so i’d say he’d be a main/lead vocalist.

timmy. does a lot of behind the scenes stuff for the group. can’t help but think about wonwoo, how fans think they’re making eye contact with him.. but really he can’t see cos he doesn’t have his glasses. enjoys playing video games with fans. and is very much aware of the inside jokes of their fans.

helia. was added to group a year after they debuted. is very realistic with fans. not one for fan service, but definitely someone who will release a song for the fans. very sincere with his words.

nabu. was added in the group 2 years after they debuted. i think he’d be given the 4D image. i think that nabu is a very private person, you think he’s an open book, but he’s really not. i feel that his stage name would be ophir, to keep his work and personal life separate. the type to visit his own fan cafes, or exhibitions but you wouldn’t even know that it’s him.

+ bonus. winx & trix

the winx. no set leader but many mistake bloom as the leader. conceptually similar to twice!

bloom. that trainee who had only been training for 2 months. fake maknae. canonically cannot sing well, so i see her as a dancer. danielle from nwjns really reminds me of bloom! stella. dude her photocards would be craaaazy expensive. somehow is always an mc somewhere. also has a looot of brand deals. one of the main vocalists. flora. i feel that her presence would be similar to sana’s! a lot of people’s first bias.

musa. an ace, born performer. involved in making the music! has a loooot of mixtapes and loves releasing covers. tecna. most people think that she’s oldest member (i headcanon that tecna is the youngest out of the winx lol) but i think if the winx were to have a leader, i’d imagine tecna. aisha. main dancer, releases a lot of dance covers.

trix. i feel like they’d have a really messy history of adding and removing members, disbanding and rebrandings. don’t really have a set headcanon for each but, icy is the leader duh.

aespa’s armageddon , i’ll make you cry. snsd’s run devil run.

I would like to see more of your ghost AU for The Painter

You ask, I deliver!! Unfortunately Im too lazy right now to actually color them and all that jazz so I'll do that later. Here's a few of them!!

Fred (and Pocket!!)- His head being shaved and skinned with sandpaper was the only info we got about his death, so I gave him a sandpaper mask that now acts as an actual face! He can take the sandpaper mask off and reveal his skinless head (which you can see a bit poking out from the sandpaper) but he likes to keep it on. Since Fred technically helped the killers at some point with dealing them drugs, a few of the ghosts have beef eith him and arent very fond of him, but other ghosts are nicer to him than most. He's good friends with Paul and Sean, and still making amends with the other ghosts. Surprisingly, he's also good friends with Flora and Isabelle. Pocket is always around Fred, now a flesh cat with a skull as the only noticeable bone on her. She's usually found sleeping on Fred's shoulder or prancing behind him.

Mae- I want to clarify, in this AU, Mae is TRAMPLED to death. I don't like how she originally dies in the series. Thanks to her horse-based death, she came back as a centaur ghost! Her hands are claws and detachable now, but she can't take off the handcuffs. Since her face was mutilated, she can now open her mouth even wider (hence the markings by her mouth). But she rarely ever does this since it scares people. You can usually find her talking to her husband Ian, granddaughter (forgor her name oopsie), Isabelle or the Collin's mother! (no confirmed name for her)

The Collins Barrel- Since there are multiple bodies stored in the barrel, their spirits now inhabit the meat and flesh mixture inside of it. Usually the mother is in control, but in some cases her daughter takes the wheel when the mother is too tired. They didnt have confirmed names, so I can't really name them. The mother is still really upset about Bill and haunts him the most out of spite.

Paul- Probably one of the most chill ghosts of the group. Since his mouth was sewn shut, he speaks through a rip in his throat caused by the killers shoving a knife down his throat. Yes I changed that part of his death too. He talks to Flora and Janice a lot, relaying to Flora a lot since she died while her sister watched it happen. He's good friends with Fred and Sean too! He also has a rope tied around one of his wrists since he was tied to the counter while Janice died. What about his other wrist? Janice has the other rope on her wrist! They have no clue how it got there.

There's four of them!! I'll post more in the future and color these too :))

[sapphicseasapphire]

Hii! Hello, I really love your Cryptid au!!!

Something I'm wondering about, if it makes any sense

So like, Time is A God, right? And over however many hundreds of years, he loses his connection to humanity?

So, in the far future, maybe like around Botw, he'd probably be more like the other deities and more well known, right?

Would characters like Flora or Impa, for example, if they knew who he was, be like super amazed about the fact that there is just straight up A God talking to them?

ahh if that makes sense, it's kinda hard to explain!

Hi! This is a great question, thanks for asking! Allow me to ramble and hope that I answer it in a roundabout way haha!

(Under the cut because long)

So, Time’s journey into Godhood is a very long one. His progression from mortal to deity goes quick, but he doesn’t truly embrace his power for centuries after his mortal lifespan is over. In his own era, with Malon and his children, he tries his best to just be a normal guy. He wants to be a dad, a husband. He wants to worry about the fate of the ranch, not the fate of the world. Mostly, he’s afraid. He never wanted to be a God. He never uses his powers.

(He’s like this for the majority of his travels with the Cryptid Chain)

Every Cryptid Link that comes after Time’s era has a different version of the God of Time, the earlier ones not really having an established God but being influenced heavily by his power, and the later ones knowing plenty of myths and legends about the God of Time, but his impacts on their lives are much less obvious. Easily written off.

Time’s most important era, other than his own, would be Twilight’s. This happens only like a hundred or two years after his own life should have ended, and Time is very committed to protecting his family. And so, as the Man of Many Faces, he personally sees to it that Twilight learns how to fight. As the Hero’s Shade, he trains the young Shapeshifter and rewinds time to save his life or give him another chance when things get rough.

He watches when Twilight finishes his adventure. He watches when Twilight leaves to go on the Cryptid Chain’s adventure. He watches until the journeys are over, the battles are won, and everything is quiet. He watches Twilight breathe his last.

After that, he decides that he can’t do that anymore. And while he still protects his boys in their future adventures, he doesn’t get nearly as involved. And it’s not just the Links that he stops interacting with- it’s all mortals. He still does his job diligently. He keeps the timelines in order, he protects his people. He receives prayers and answers what he can, but he does his work from the sidelines.

Because of this, as he truly ascends to Godhood, he is a mystery to mortals. Like I said- earlier Links have been more personally impacted by Time but didn’t know who he was (he was too fresh of a God to be established) and the later Links have been more indirectly impacted by Time but it could be interpreted as mere coincidences. Time would be more well known, but less detectable.

By the time he’d reach Wild’s era, he’d be very reclusive. Flora, the history major we all know and love, would absolutely know about the Hero of Time and all of his titles and names. Impa, Paya, the religious leaders, would also be very knowledgeable about Time’s legends and myths. Purah, our favorite Sheikah researcher, 100% knows all about him! It’s common knowledge, I think, in Wild’s era, but these ones are especially familiar with Time’s history.

Except… the God has not shown himself to the world in thousands of years. I actually do have a scene in mind for one of my storylines where Flora meets Time. She doesn’t know exactly who he is- Cryptid era Time doesn’t act very God-like, at least not like any that she’s come to know of- but there’s something about him. Power rolls off of him in waves, his mere presence is overwhelming. He seems to shine with subtle iridescence, his voice is quiet but it carries. She knows, on some level, that he has authority over her. Over All. (Time would deny this to the ends of the earth, but there’s no denying the truth: he is a God. There’s no escaping that).

I hope this makes sense??? Trying to talk about Time’s lore gets confusing since there’s so many time jumps and rewinds and skips. To summarize, Time stops interacting with mortals so he becomes somewhat of a mysterious God. So while Flora would know of him, she wouldn’t know what to look for. When she meets Time, his present is her past- her present is his future- and present Time is nothing like future Time, so Flora doesn’t recognize him.

This is all Pre-God Reveal, of course haha!

I hope this answers your question?

continuation of my coalescence au rambles! because i love him

10,000 years ago

kid link was as chaotic as you’d expect, running around and collecting bugs. he loved hearty durian as a kid mostly because of rauru and mineru’s reactions to the scent

his closest friends were nasis and medli, naboris’ niece and medoh’s daughter respectively. he was also close to ralis and koda, ruta’s brother and rudania’s son. these four later became the pilots of the divine beasts and ralis blamed himself for link’s death

link’s little sister was born shortly after ganondorf swore fealty. sonia named her zelda after the spirit maiden specifically!

during the imprisoning war, link stayed hidden in the forgotten temple and was not in a good spot at all. given the death toll, he was immediately made king

zelda (flora) swears the sages to the future hero, and they sacrifice themselves to protect their temples and seal off both the depths and sky

short version: link gets visions, the sheikah swear loyalty to him, the divine beasts and guardians are built, the shrine of resurrection is constructed as a healing spring under zel’s orders in secrecy, link dies in the calamity and put into the shrine under zel’s orders, and he wakes up over ten thousand years later

breath of the wild / age of calamity era

link is obviously distraught! he doesn’t claim himself as the ancient high king but does reclaim the master sword relatively soon after his revival, putting him as zelda’s knight technically (the sheikah and yiga know him as their ‘Sworn King’ and would refer to him rather than anyone else, except maybe zelda)

the beasts are named for, and have personalities similar to that of the old sages. the spirits of the last pilots linger despite not falling against the calamity.

the champions are more or less the same, just fusing pre-calamity hyrule with totk era hyrule, mainly in characters meaning the sages are around

riju is urbosa’s niece, next in line for position of chieftain. she’s a young teen in this, slightly younger than zelda

tulin is a junior warrior, while teba is just a warrior. he’s slightly younger than riju

sidon is notably older than he was pre-calamity but he’s a zora teen. his powers are more water than mipha’s healing.

yunobo is the oldest and daruk’s grandson. he does have the shield but the fire is significantly stronger

link has a moment where he’s yelling at rhoam and then the yiga reveal him as their sworn king. he tells the champions before this, because he’s dramatic.

he does have a divine beast technically! he’s the last loftwing rider and instead of being left the master cycle, he’s left his loftwing, armored and more powerful than most silver monsters

the calamity goes as it did in aoc, with link and zelda rescuing the champions, but then the calamity is the botw boss fight (ending with dark beast)

tears of the kingdom (2-ish years later)

castle town reparations, people getting sick, and link watches the seal break and sees zelda fall into the distant past he was born to

great sky island, except surprise! now you’re haunted by your long dead dad who almost definitely knew that the hero flora was talking about was him

the best comparison i have to the sage awakenings is somewhere between proxycrit’s familiar familiar au and the silent prince anthology on ao3? memories of the temples in their prime and the aftermath of the war, including link’s ascension to the throne

i saw one fic under the ‘zonai link’ tag on tumblr where link got turned into a zonai and rauru, sonia, and miners got new bodies through some ancient very forgotten tech? i think it would be funny is after link crawls through the depths of faron, he finds it and then his immediate family is alive again and he makes them ride farosh

not all sheikah tech is gone? i don’t want to say it dissolved but most of it is dormant. link gets his sky view towers because they’re fun and he like getting launched at shit.

note that the previous heroes are talking to him via the sword the whole time. (the hero’s spirit traveled to where it was needed while he slept). twilight, the wolf king of the gerudo, is chanting for ganondorf’s head and he’s very persuasive about it

yeah that’s gonna be it for now 👍

summary. you were perfect in every single way; beautiful, kind, not even so much as a blemish out of place. perfect apart from the fact you had magic coursing through your veins and the worst possible thing you could be in the land of flora, was magic. at least you have your companion, horangi, who was the only one who comforted you through all your sorrowful nights. but fate never fails to be cruel and you find that the world was against him as much as they were against you. what will you do when they try to take the only kindness you've ever known away from you?

Chapter 1: The Wingless Angel Cries

You sat on one of the many exquisite swings in the Esor estate, gently swaying back and forth as you admired the white rose vines climbing up the gazebo overhead. Bathed in the warm orange glow of the sunset, it was almost as if your skin shimmered in the light. The scene was truly enchanting—not just the roses, but you as well. At 18, your youthfulness bloomed on your cheeks, face as fresh as a flower, you completed the view, really, you completed any view with your unrivaled beauty. It was no wonder why you were spared. You, a child of infidelity. You, a child of magic in a kingdom for humans.

The people of Esor remember as if it were yesterday when the princess was born. They knew she would be the last child of the King and Queen, which made her all the more precious. However, news of her birth quickly spread, and the shock it carried soon reached even the farthest corners of Flora.

You were spared from death, but you could never forget your origins; they wouldn’t let you. Beyond the constant whispering and the odd stares from both maids and knights, your family ensured you were always aware of your difference. Your father enjoyed your presence but detested when you spoke or moved, preferring you to be nothing more than a statue in his sight. Your older brother, Prince Hyunjin, is sweetly cruel, and you can’t discern whether his feelings are of hate or love. In truth, he is deeply concerned for you, yet he feels guilt for it, knowing he'll never do anything more than watch you struggle. Your older sister, Princess Yeji, harbors a deep-seated loathing for you, making it clear to both you and everyone else in the castle. Your mother is the only one who truly loves you, but not for who you are as her daughter—rather, because you are a beautiful reminder of her lost lover. Even as she runs her hands through your hair and caresses your face with a yearning for another, you choose to return her love. Love, no matter how cruel and bittersweet it may be, is still love.

So there you sat, swaying gently in the wind, nestled in a secluded spot of the garden, wearing that sorrowfully blank expression that seemed permanently etched upon your face. They said the tears you shed were the source of those endlessly sad eyes. You, without friends. You, without a suitor. You, with no future, condemned to remain in the castle, wasting away. No matter how extraordinarily beautiful you were, it would never be enough to overcome the stain of your tainted blood.

Somehow you stayed kind, choosing to look at the brighter side of things, caring for others even though they would cast you aside given the chance. Even as the maids approach you reluctantly to tell you the queen was looking for you, you nod and only mention to them that the roses need to be watered, but tell the gardener tomorrow as it was getting late.

“Come, my beloved, sit,” mother says the moment she sees you, ushering you past her gold doors just to lock it behind her. There was routine to this meeting, every other night you would be called to mother’s chambers so she could, ‘comfort her troubled heart’ as she says. Like clockwork, you sit on the edge of the bed, the side closest to the window where the moonlight shines in. She’s already all over you, running her hands into your hair, forcing you to look up at her while she mutters sweetly about how much you resembled him. Minutes later she’s finally sitting next to you, her hands caressing your face.

“Oh, how angelic, how ethereal you are, my love,” she whispers her face inching closer and closer to yours. She presses her cheek against yours, relishing in the feeling before she pulls away to look into your eyes. You don’t speak because it ruins the moment for her, you can only speak after she allows you to retire for the night. Moments pass of her just staring in your eyes as tears fills in hers, memories of another man, long dead, flashing through her mind. She told you the first night she asked for you, that she felt guilty for her lover’s death, that it was her fault she kept you because of it wasn’t for that, she would’ve never been caught. In that sense, it was partially your fault too, so helping her cope was the least you could do.

You cry with her, because the heartbreak you saw in her eyes was painful too. Warm tears running down your cheeks as your mother pulls your face closer and closer to her. Your eyes flutter shut when she pulls away to kiss your tears mumbling, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I love you.” There are times her lips press so close to your own that you wonder if she’ll ever end up kissing you. She never does. As much as you wish you could reciprocate her passion, you didn’t feel much no matter how she held you, just the bittersweetness of longing and grief.

Mother does this for two hours before she dries your tears with a handkerchief and then her own. She takes your hand in her own as she does every night, waiting for you to look up at her with those wonderous pink eyes of yours. “Thank you, my dear. You cannot imagine how much solace your face brings me.” “I am glad to have been of help,' you say quietly, not making the effort to return her smile. With that you’re permitted to leave, your mother wasting no time to click the door quietly the moment you are out.

Before you could start walking, a hand ravels itself in your hair and yanks it back. Yeji. "You're a fool if you think Mother loves you," she seethed as she drags you towards her, "But I'm sure you know that, disgusting things like you cling on to whatever affection you can get." Tears fills your eyes again as your trembling hands try reach up holding on to your head, "Yeji, please" you plead as she jerks your head up, watching as your face contorted in pain. At that she throws you on the ground, glaring as she stalks towards you, "Look at you pleading to your sister, have you no shame?" She grabs your face, brutally squeezing your cheeks together, fingers digging in deeply, "so unworthy of this beauty," she mumbles running her eyes across your features. All you could do was hold your breath, eyes frantically begging her to let you go. When she does, she tosses your head back into the carpet, leaving before you could manage to right yourself up on your arms. "Your existence is revolting. No amount of beauty will ever change that." With that, you're left alone.

Again, you're sobbing into your arms, curled up in your bed while your body continued to shake. The only comfort you had was your puppy, Horang, based on the unique striped patterns in his fur. You found and took him in when you were strolling in the woods a few weeks ago. At first, you considered releasing him after his paw healed from how much he would snarl and bite at you, but he warmed up after a few days, going as far as lying next to you when you cried. "He pities you too, princess," your maids would joke when they came around to tidy your room. He's grown quite quickly since then and now he's curled around your feet, almost wrapping all the way around you, whining each time you sniffled, staring at you with saddened eyes. Eventually you look up and run a hand through his fur, petting him gently, "you're all I have in this place, in this world," you sigh sadly. You move around and lie your head softly on top of him, tears dampening his fur as you whisper, voice broken and worn, "you're the only one I truly love."

It's a good thing you're a deep sleeper. You can't feel the clawed hand running over your cheeks, brushing the blonde locks in your face behind your ear. You can't hear him as he murmurs sweet nothings, admiring the way you radiate in the moonlight. He wraps his large arm around your body, pulling your small figure into him, his tail covering your body, mentally scolding you for falling asleep atop your blankets again. Even when you shift under him, he doesn't react, knowing your sleeping habits by heart, instead he nudges his head into yours, breathing in your sweet floral scent.

When you wake up the next morning, you’re greeted by a kisses from Horangi on your face, warm tongue excitedly panting when you sit up. You pet him between his ears drowsily, “Good morning, you’re excited today?” Horangi barking as if he understood you, brought a smile to your face, something rarely seen, which naturally led him to jump up on top of you. Your maids come in soon after, asking you to quiet or control your pet as they got you up and ready for the day. “Sorry Horangi, I’ll see you later.” You pet him sadly before you leave your room.

“Prince Hyunjin asked for you,” your personal maid, Eunchae, says as you stroll down the hall, “he insisted it was of utmost importance.” Eunchae is a pretty, kind girl who was often caught staring at you for too long, genuinely admiring your angelic appearance. She was someone in the castle with whom you felt at ease, or rather, she was the only one who didn’t treat you like an outsider. “I see,” you say, changing your route to go to Hyunjin’s office, “I shall be going then,” silently bidding her good bye.

“Come in.” his smooth voice beckoned you in the moment you knocked. “Good morning brother,” you greet him, closing the door behind you, “You asked for me?” Hyunjin puts his quill down, humming as he stands up, walking around his desk, “Indeed I did. There is something you should know.” Confused, you stood there, quietly waiting for him to continue. He leans against the edge of the brown wood, arms crossing in front of him, sighing heavily before looking up at you. “You are forbidden from seeing Mother any longer. She must learn to manage her grief without you.” He understands how much Mother means to you, how she is the only one providing the false sense of security, the illusion of family bonds, and a semblance of love. Despite how harsh it may appear, he is doing this out of necessity. He needs to protect you from the deceptive comfort she offers while he still can.

Hyunjin knew you weren't going to take it lightly but when you speak, retaliate really, he can't help but be surprised. "No, I...I refuse. I can't leave her alone, she needs me!" Your soft voice pitching with each word, a tightness building in your chest as you think about how woefully Mother cries, looking at you as if you're who she is grieving for. You watch as he sighs again, looking down to his hands as, head shaking as he fiddles with the ring brandishing the family crest, "Y/n, I'm sorry but I'm not going to allow this to continue. It's sick, the way she's using you." Trembling you step back, holding tears in your eyes as you stare at him with disbelief, "S-She's not..Mother is not using me, she loves me, you don't understand." Hyunjin walks over, stopping right in front of you, staring at you with pity, the same way everyone in this castle does. Placing a hand on your shoulder, he could only watch as tears roll down your eyes, then as you started sobbing into your hands. He knows you'd accept this the way you accepted everything else unfair about your life, even so, he feels an ache in his heart as you crumble away a little more.

"Horangi, why is fate so cruel to me?" you mutter, burying yourself into his fur. It was night time now and after your break down in Hyunjin's office, you sat there for a couple hours, curled up on one of the chairs as he worked away. He was kind enough to let you stay while your tears dried up, making sure no one came to bother you until you left on your own. It wasn't until you decided that it was best to see Mother one last time before she becomes another family member you have to avoid. Hyunjin seemed to know where you were going, reassuring that he'll make sure Mother gets all the help she needs. You knew your brother was kind, that deep down he wasn't like the others. He really does care about you, maybe even wishes he could love you like the baby sister you were supposed to be. Alas, he is the crown prince, loving his anomaly of a sister would go against the image he needs to rule. As you hesitantly opened Mother's door, she was taken aback, her hand flying to her chest as she hurried towards you, bombarding you with questions while you quietly closed the door behind you. You could never forget the look of despair on her face when you revealed the news to her, nor could you forget how she fell to her knees, clutching your hands tightly, pleading for forgiveness for all her failings: for not loving you as a mother should, for all her sins, and for the sin of bringing you into this world. A few more hours passed as you reassured her with whatever words were needed to calm her down, guiding her to her chair and gently countering every self-deprecating remark she made about herself. As the sunset marked the end of your visit, you dried her tears and then wiped away your own before you finally took your leave.

Horangi whines as your hands tighten into fists in his fur, his head raising to look at you as tears rolled down your face. "How unfair this all is. There truly is no one who loves me in this world is there?" You sob, scarcely aware of how Horangi curls up around you more tightly, his tail brushing gently against your feet. You think that if it weren’t for him, you might have lost your mind long ago. When his head nudges you, you look up at him, seeing your own exhaustion mirrored in his sad, almost concerned eyes. Your hand moves from his fur to gently stroke his face, "Your eyes are beautiful too Horangi. They hold so much emotion, just staring at them makes me feel better," murmuring as he bunted his head against your hand affectionately. You take a deep breath, inhaling the familiar earthy-musky scent of his fur that has begun to permeate your room since you first took him in. The comforting aroma washes over you, and you can feel yourself drifting towards sleep, your body finally relaxing as the fatigue of the day takes hold.

You were so exhausted that you didn’t notice him slipping out of bed after a few hours, nor did you hear him moving around, extinguishing the candles. You remained unaware of his tender efforts to lift you and tuck you back under the blankets, only vaguely sensing a slight adjustment as you settled deeper under the covers. He crawls under the sheets with you, facing you, nose to nose as her admired how peaceful you were asleep. His sharp eyes could see how each eyelash kissed the top of your cheeks and the little details of your lips. The way your body curled up made you look so small compared to his long lanky body, barely reaching the end of his torso. Oh, how he longs to pull you into his arms and hold you tightly against his chest. Instead he decides carefully scooch a little closer, brushing stray strands of hair behind your ear. Words he wishes he could tell you escape him, voice deep and silky as he whispers, "I'd love you until the end of the world." He stares at you for a moment longer, holding his breath as if your eyes would flutter open to see his human form and react to his words. When you remain asleep, he reassures himself that it’s for the best. Relieved, he allows himself to drift into a light sleep, taking care to avoid detection by morning.

The night would have continued as it usually did, with him slipping out from under the blankets, shifting back into a medium-sized dog, and then leaping back onto the bed to resume his sleep. But tonight was different; Hyunjin had sent maids to check on you, the image of your distress still vivid in his mind. A sudden scream jolted both of you awake as the maid discovered a man sleeping beside you. Your heart pounded in your chest as you shot upright, scanning the room for the source of the alarm, only to realize there was an equally startled man sitting up beside you, naked and in your bed. Your mouth opens to let out a similar scream but he turns into Horangi right before your eyes. "Werewolf! W-Werewolf in the castle!" The maid shrieks, collapsing to the floor in terror as she scrambles towards the door, calling out for help. Horangi barks and whines, darting around the room in a frantic frenzy before halting to look at you as you get out of bed and slowly approach him. Strangely, you weren't scared, even now, knowing he is a mystical beast, he is still your Horangi. He laid down on his belly, his tail wagging anxiously as your hand reached out to pet his pressed down ears, his eyes looking at yours with newly found fear. Your heart raced in your chest as you think back to the man who had the exact same eyes staring down at you. Horangi really was a werewolf, you think, but when his ears flop up at your touch, you find yourself mesmerized by him. Did he understand all the things you told him? Has he been listening this whole time? Does he love you too? Horangi had magic in his veins, just like you, he knew you were half-human and tolerated that too.

"Horangi I- " you begin but The sound of numerous knights thundering down the hallway made his eyes widen with panic, and it was only then that you grasped the gravity of what was about to unfold. You sprang to your feet and positioned yourself in front of him, arms outstretched as you tried to shield Horangi from view when the soldiers burst into your room, "Move Princess, that is a danger that we need to exterminate immediately," the head knight said his sword at the ready. For the first time in your life, you cried out, desperate as you tried to use your title, "Please stand down! Obey your princess and lower your weapons! He is not a threat!" Your hands trembled as you strove to maintain your stance, even as the knights pressed ever closer to you. You could hear Horangi's whimpers, the shuffle of his body pressing closely to the floor and backing into the wall. You've lost so much in your life already, you won't lose the only thing that supported you all this time.

"Princess, please step away, else I use force. That thing is a an endangerment to us all. You are putting us at risk protecting that monster," the head knight shouts. Their blades drew nearer, and you found yourself with no space left to retreat. Who were you kidding, believing they would listen to you? After all, to them, you were part monster as well. The knights encircled you, driving you into a corner, the dread prickling your skin as their advance remained relentless. They only ceased their approach when an eerie howl echoed through the room, soon followed by a fierce, loud snarling sound. You turn to see Horangi in an aggressive stance, teeth bared with gaze focused on the knights, feeling yourself pale when he stalks forward. "N-no, no no, Horangi no, don't! Please just trust me!" You rush towards him, kneeling in front of him, wrapping your arms around his head, stroking his muzzle, hoping to calm him down. Taking this chance, the knights only come closer, raising their swords, the head knight raising his voice, "Princess you leave us no choice! We will fulfill our duty to protect the people at all costs!" With that, you brace yourself, pushing against Horangi the best you can, trying to stop him from jumping forward, shutting your eyes tightly.

"How dare you raise your weapons against the princess!" Hyunjin's voice boomed, enraged and labored as he stormed into the room. “Lower your blades this instant, or I will have your heads by dawn,” he commands sternly, his gaze fierce. The knights, swiftly sheathing their weapons, stand at attention before him. "Your highness! There is a werewolf and the princess is foolishly protecting it! We must eradicate it as soon as possible!" the head knight reports. Hyunjin signals with a wave of his hand for the knights to part and make way for him. He strides closer, his eyes scanning the scene until he sees you clinging to what he recognizes as the pet dog you rescued months ago. "Y/n. Give him up. I shall spare him from death, seeing as you care for him so deeply, but I cannot permit a beast to roam freely within this castle."

At first, you shake your head, preparing to plead for mercy. But as your gaze meets Hyunjin's, you realize this may be the extent of mercy Horangi will receive. Frantically, you pull Horangi's head against your own, staring into his wide, fearful eyes, hoping to convey your desperation, "Go with Hyunjin peacefully okay? No matter what they do, do not harm any of them and try your best to be good, for me, hm? I will see you as soon as I can, Horangi. Please, have faith in me," You reassure Horangi as much as you can, stroking his fur. Just as you are about to say more, Hyunjin steps forward, pulling you away gently but firmly. He nods to the knights, signaling them to take action. They clasp a muzzle around Horangi's head, tying multiple ropes around his neck, going in different directions. As Hyunjin holds you, you collapse into uncontrollable wails, your tears flowing freely. Through your blurred vision, you see Horangi walking out with a shockingly calm demeanor. He turns to look at you one last time before disappearing through the door.

You turn to Hyunjin, your hands gripping his collar tightly, your eyes pleading with him as you struggle to stay upright. Your voice trembles as you fight not to collapse to your knees, "Please make sure he lives. You have to make sure they don't kill him. I have never sought a favor from you in all my days, brother, so I beseech you, grant me this one request." You are met with the same pitying look as yesterday. Hyunjin gently takes your hands and guides you to your bed, helping you sit down. He then kneels in front of you, his expression softening as he looks up at you. "Chan would never let them kill an animal, even if it's a werewolf. However, I can't promise you'll see him ever again once he is released," he says calmly, gripping both of your hands tightly, trying to ground you.

You burst into tears once more, pulling your hands out of Hyunjin's to cover your face. Fate truly is cruel. Hyunjin leaves you after a moment, understanding that you won't be speaking to him anymore. The night passes agonizingly slow, the fear for what was happening to Horangi invading your mind. The loneliness of his cell if that was all he was condemned to. All you could do was cling on to the hope Hyunjin's words gave you about the grand commanding knight. You had just barely drifted off into a restless sleep when the brightness of the sun peeking through your windows awakes you. Immediately, you're clambering out of bed and rushing out the door. You ignore every maid and every question that comes along your way as you race to the dungeon.

When you arrive, you're initially shocked, never having ventured into the dungeon before. It's dark, the air damp, and the hallways, lined with brick and iron bars, seem to stretch endlessly. Each cell is just barely the size of a horse stable, and the oppressive atmosphere presses heavily upon you. For a moment you think if this where you would've called home if you weren't so fortunately beautiful.

At your first step into the maze like dungeon, you hear the sound of chains rustling and a whine so familiar, it makes your heart ache. Running towards the sound, you check every single cell you pass for your beloved friend, for both a dog and for a boy. Finally, almost seven cells down, you find a slightly different cell, one with a pillory hanging from the ceiling and Horangi's watery eyes staring at you. You can't help but fall to your knees, horrified at the sight in front of you, your hands clasping over your hands to muffle your cries. Horangi was forced on his knees, dressed in rags that hung off his beaten frame, blood was dripping down his arms from the way he struggled against the pillory. A similar red decorated his neck and ankles, Horangi wincing every time the metal touched his skin. Silver.

"Oh, Horangi.." you mumbled, hands wrapping around the bars of his confinement, muffling yours sobs for his sake, "Oh, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault." For the first time in your life, you find yourself cursing this world. This evil world where magic was unfairly condemned, where you couldn't protect the only friend you've ever known in your own castle because of that magic.

A voice, worn yet smooth, echoed through the cell, pulling you out of your thoughts, "Don' be sorry, s' not your fault princess." You're sure this is the first time you've ever seen Horangi speak but you swore you recognized it. You shake your head, trying your utmost hardest to not break down right there. No, you needed to be strong, you needed to help Horangi. "I'm going to help you, alright?" You start, talking past the lump in your throat, "I promise, I'll get you out of here."

A few moments pass, the dungeon eerily quiet save for the constant dripping of water bouncing off the walls. His eyes search yours, you can see them shining under his long, shaggy hair, the pure trust contrasting yours, full of worry and pain. "I trust you, princess," he says softly, "I trust you with my life." If it wasn't for him breaking the silence, you might've stayed there for another hour, tears running down your eyes, heart shattering piece by piece at his state.

Willing yourself to stand up, you're on your feet and nodding at him, "Thank you for your faith, I'll be back as soon as I can." Before you walk away, you linger for a second, to take in his state once more, to ingrain his pain in your heart if it wasn't already. You begin to walk away, a million thoughts on who to confront, who to ask, who to beg.

“Wait.”

You don’t make a few steps before he calls you back, the urgency in his voice beckoning you to come back. And you do, resuming your place in front of him, heart racing at the tension built by his gaze.

“My name is Beomgyu,” he whispers, eyes not faltering from yours, “Choi Beomgyu.” Your hands reach up, trembling as they grip the iron bars, pulling yourself as close as you can to him. “Beomgyu,” you breathe, echoing his name back to him and you can see how it affects him, his hair bristling wildly as if it was alive. For the first time, you can clearly see his face and you etch it into your mind, new tears rolling down your cheeks. A fluttery feeling bubbled in the deepest part of you, your breath catching in your throat on its way out. He was beautiful. Such distinct and wild features, surpassing even your brother, who shared the beauty of Mother. You don't think you've ever seen a face that wound your heart so tight.

And by Flora and all of her powers, you were going to save him, you owed that to him. You were going to turn this whole castle upside down if you had to. For the years of oppression you’ve endured, for the new spark burning in your heart, for Beomgyu.

"Oh Beomgyu, I promise you, I will do everything and anything I can to save you, I will save you."

author note: sorry for the long wait this took forever to come out because i was doing every thing but finish this one(which means this is not proofread yet) we finally get the first member! let's see what our princess does to help beomgyu>< the upcoming chapters will most likely be much shorter than this one, we'll see! thank you for those who have been waiting^^ as always, reblogs, likes, and comments are always appreciated <3

~Future generation 2~

Twisted Wonderland AU -Lady of Savanaclaw-

I got around to drawing Vihaan and Kairo older and decided to also draw Ruggie’s kid. In the end that also led me to coming up with the idea that their generation also gets a Yuu or two…

Enjoy :)

(There are some fun little details under the cut)

Couple extra things I forgot to mention would be:

1) Vihaan has basically taken over Leona’s role of second in line by her teen years meaning a couple of things, like her being in charge of training the bead brawl winners. She’s also pretty active in making training regimens for the royal guards (this is the main reason she has taken over being second in line as well as the fact that her older brother is ill and can’t do it himself).

2) Yue is half Chinese and half French. She was born in the USA though (much to her carnage). She takes great pleasure in the fact that she gets to introduce a lot of modern things, like lingo, to Yusuke.

3) Yusuke can’t read or write. He mainly memorizes things through sound/auditory processing (that’s why he’s good with instruments since he can remember what sounds are made for different hand positions). He tries his best to remember everything but it can be difficult. After Yue finds out she decides to record their lectures from then on.

4) Arlo was found in Ramshackle’s garden bleeding out. Yusuke found him and called Yue to aid him. He’s been loyal to the two ever since.

5) Yue is the one who ties up Yusuke’s hair.

6) Yue has a game console that came with her to Twisted Wonderland. It’s kind of her greatest treasure as it was in a case that held a bunch of games. (Orth tricks it out for her and made it compatible with their world’s games) She loves watching Yusuke try to play with it cause his reactions are hilarious (like a boomer discovering technology, except he’s not rude about stuff, or something akin to that). She reads all the text aloud for him when he wants to play.

7) Arlo can use magic. He mostly uses light magic instead of void magic and also has an affinity for flora magic.

8) Arlo lost his memory. He doesn’t remember his own name. His name is a name that Yue came up with.

9) when at Ramshackle Yusuke hoses down people he doesn’t like.

Some other extra facts not pertaining to the characters drawn would be:

1) Crowley is still in charge of the school. Most of the teachers remain the same as well.

2) Ortho (Orth for short), Idia’s son, is very proactive in making Crowley squirm and take responsibility. It’s like enacting his very own payback for a couple of things.

3) Orth is a lot of the students favorite teacher. He teaches magic (from principles of magic to magic control and everything in between) and history (Trein has been retired for a while atp and animal linguistics has been taken over by a different teacher).

4) Crowley is terrified of Yusuke cause Yusuke’s a(n) F around and find out type of person with a weapon and no fear of repercussions.

5) There’s an unspoken rule among the students where they don’t mess with Yue because while she tends to be nervous and anxious she’s also very terrifying. Everyone is scared of her especially after she grabbed Yusuke’s axe and almost immediately amputated someone’s limb because they were being misogynistic towards herself and one other female student (Yusuke willingly gives her his axe most of the time).

Pen Pals (2)

Summary: The withering rose never finds love. Right?

Pairing: Lord!Clark Kent x Lady!Reader

Characters: Lord Bruce Wayne, OC Aurelia, unnamed parents

Warnings: angst, regency au, mentions of betrayal, angry Clark, fluff

A/N: This is an alternative version of Windfall with different characters.

Catch up here: Pen Pals

The wind gently tugs at your dress as you walk toward your destiny. You wandered off to your favorite tree, not far from your father’s house. Even after you burned all the letters, you still feel the betrayal of Lord Wayne’s lies.

If only he’d been honest, you’d have gladly helped him court Flora. She deserves all the happiness in the world. But he had to awaken hope in you.

For years, you told yourself it’s not the end of the world to end up as a spinster.

With Lord Wayne writing to you all summer, you believed these days were past you. A bright future was almost tangible. Now, devastation and hopelessness have overcome you.

You’ve never been hopeless before.

Believing you’ll end up alone, you try to find something to fill your lonely life. Reading and gardening were your escape. You spent hours plucking your favorite flowers to press them. Lord Wayne ruined it for you, too. Only looking at the flowers would hurt you even more.

“Lady Y/N,” you stiffen, hearing a familiar voice call your name. This can’t be. He cannot be here to see your cheeks covered in tears and your favorite book torn apart because he told you he loved it too. “Your father was worried sick. We were all looking for you.”

If not for your perfect manners and your excellent education, you’d love to scoff at his words. How dare that man come here, pretending to be worried about you?

“I left a note.” You can barely keep the anger out of your voice, but ry your best. While Wayne stands a little further away from your shelter, the tree you found when you were five years old, you gracefully get back up. “I told him that I'll spend some time reading under the tree.”

You turn your back on him quickly to wipe the tears off your cheeks.

Taking a deep breath, you try to calm your nerves. This man can never know he broke your fragile heart. Even if you never felt a deep connection with Lord Wayne, you had hoped time would help you fall in love with him.

“Lady Y/N, I wanted to—” He steps closer, almost brushing his fingertips over your shoulder, when another voice calls your name. A deeper and rougher one.

“Wayne, stay away from Lady Y/N!” You gasp at Lord Kent’s angry expression. He knows you fled to your tree to forget about the embarrassment you still feel. “You have almost ruined her reputation!”

“Lord Kent,” you say, taking a step toward Lord Kent. “You shouldn’t…” You shake your head. “What if my father hears any of it? You’d be the one ruining my reputation.”

“My lady,” Lord Kent says, dropping his gaze for a second. He didn’t expect you to scold him for coming to your rescue. “He cannot talk to you ever again. Not after he came to court for someone else. He has no shame and no honor.”

“Lord Kent!” Lord Wayne steps closer to you, and Lord Kent. “Take that back! You speak in such a manner about me.”

“Tell me, Lord Wayne, how you still call yourself a man of honor.” Lord Kent laughs right in Wayne’s face. “You made this beautiful flower believe you wanted to marry her only to court her cousin.”

You’re too scared to even move when Lord Kent steps in front of you, blocking Lord Wayne’s path. “A gentleman of your standing should know better. How dare you come here and talk to her! I will not allow you anywhere near my chosen bride!”

Your eyes widen at Lord Kent’s words. “Lord Kent…” You try to calm his anger. If he does more than insult Lord Wayne, people will know about the secret you tried to hide. “Please bring me back to my father’s house. It’s getting cold.”

You rub your arms, pretending to be cold, to get Lord Kent’s attention. “Lady Y/N,” he turns around and strips his coat off to wrap it around your shoulders. He drops his eyes to the torn pages on the ground, sighing deeply. “A minute, my lady.” Lord Kent hastily picks the pages up to stuff them back into the book, which he hides in the pocket of his coat. “I’ll guide you home now.”

Lord Wayne huffs behind you. “Without a chaperone? You’re not a man of honor yourself, Lord Kent.”

“I brought someone with me.” Lord Kent bites back. He’d love to wrap his arm around your shoulders to protect you not only from the wind getting colder, but he knows better.

As Lord Wayne follows suit, Lord Kent points at Aurelia. The good soul figured out what happened between you and Lord Wayne and offered her help. “Unlike you, I won’t bring shame and pain over Lady Y/N.”

He nods at Aurelia when she takes your hand. Lord Kent wishes it were his hand you’re holding. Being a gentleman sometimes means denying himself the simplest things. Like feeling your soft hand in his.

“Y/N,” your father says, watching Aurelia guide you inside the house, followed by Lord Kent and Lord Wayne. “What happened? Where have you been all day?”

“Father,” you say, dropping your gaze, sniffling. “Please forgive me. I forgot about the time over reading. I wanted to press a few flowers too. The last one before winter arrives.”

“I found her at the tree.” Lord Wayne tries to get your father’s attention. All too proud, he tells your father he wanted to bring you home safely.”

“I arrived only a moment later.” Lord Kent steps in before Lord Wayne can ruin your reputation by telling everyone you spent time alone with him. “Miss Aurelia was kind enough to come with me as a chaperone.”

“Lord Kent.” Your father looks at you, and then at Lord Kent. He knows you’re hiding things from him. You’re a smart woman, and you tried your best to hide your pain. Still, your father saw the shame and hurt in your eyes. “Let me thank you for bringing my beloved daughter home safely.” He shakes Lord Kent’s hand, squeezing it tightly. “Aurelia, thank you too.”

“It’s my duty and honor to protect Lady Y/N,” Aurelia says to your father, but glares at Lord Wayne. “Even a lion couldn’t defeat me if I had to protect Lady Y/N.”

“I’m sure about it,” your father chuckles. He quickly turns toward Lord Wayne, shaking the man’s hand. “Thank you too, Lord Wayne.”

You watch your father guide the men out of the room while your mother and cousins rush into the room to look you all over. Their chatter and hugs distract you from your racing heart.

What if Lord Wayne now tells your father about the letters?

“Lady Y/N,” Lord Wayne once again sneaks up on you. He came to your father’s house earlier in the morning to discuss matters of importance with your father.

“Lord Wayne,” you curtsy and turn to leave the hallways. Being near the man who betrayed you still hurts so badly.

“Y/N, my dear,” your father says as he walks out of the study, Lord Kent by his side. Your eyes widen when the Lord immediately steps toward you to take your hand. “Lord Kent came to me to ask for your hand.”

“He…what?” Your voice trembles, and you feel dizzy. Lord Kent takes your hand while you’re staring up at him with wide eyes. He knows about the letters and still wants to court you.

“I told Lord Kent it was your decision, my dear,” your father softly says while keeping an eye on Lord Wayne. Just as assumed, he came this morning to talk about the wedding with Flora.

“Lady Y/N,” Lord Kent softly says your name. “After I lost my beloved wife five years ago, I believed love would never find its way into my heart again. You, my lady, enchanted me with your grace, your wit, and your kindness.” He kneels down on his left knee, still holding your hand. “Would you give me the honor of becoming my wife and make my life brighter again?”

He opens his other hand, offering a beautiful golden ring to you. It carries a ruby, an emerald, a garnet, an amethyst, and a diamond.

You’re speechless. Lord Kent is charming, and you cannot deny that he’s a very handsome man. He lost so much, but despite that, he showed more heart than Lord Wayne ever could.

Where Lord Wayne only sees a pretty face, Lord Kent sees the light and warmth in your eyes.

“Lady Y/N?” Lord Kent feels his heart drop when you take too long to answer.

“Lord Kent,” you stammer, unsure how to answer his question. Should you take the ring or simply say yes? The silence following his title is painful for Lord Kent. “You’re an honorable man. You only ever showed respect and kindness towards me.”

You take a deep breath before covering the hand holding the ring with yours.

“I am honored to accept your proposal of marriage, Lord Kent.”
