#“huh. the answer to all my problems is obviously to hold everyone hostage while they slowly perish anyway due to dehydration + starvation”

I was going to say that Lilia was pleasantly wrong and that Malleus is nowhere near as bad as Mallenoa sounds, that he is actually pretty level-headed and calm despite having his moments and is considerably less temperamental and more mature than his mother but you know what. I forgot we are currently in this entire situation because of his selfish desire for everything to remain unchanging and poor emotional management to the point he overblotted and put not only Lilia but the entire NRC under a sleeping spell because of his unwiligness to engage with upsetting emotions and letting go of people he loves.

Ieyasu reacting to MC being pregnant🤰🏻❤:

You were well known for your gentle heart & compassionate personality as an Oda princess🥰😇💗 while Ieyasu was known for his sharp mouth & cold personality😒😠💢 as a warlord of Tokugawa Clan. Your brothers Nobunaga🍬😏, Mitsuhide🦊😏, Masamune🐯😁, Hideyoshi😩💗 and Mitsunari😍😇 doted on their little sister so much💗💯✨ and you were immensely grateful for their support and love towards you🥰❤😇.

Nobunaga was the type of brother to pamper you with everything you want with a smug grin on his face😏❤🍬✨, Mitsuhide being the type to tease you everytime😂😏💗🤗 but he also helps you at the the very last moment making your problems non-existent💯👍🏻😏😘🤗, Masamune would literally feed you anything you desire no matter the time of the day👨🏻‍🍳🤗🐯😁, Mitsunari being the type to approach whenever you feel down🤗😇❤🥰, he will brightem your day like the angel he is😇💗👍🏻💯 and Hideyoshi being the type to worry over his little & precious sister, 24×7😥💗🤗😍.

The credits of your pure❤, empathetic🤗 and caring nature😍 despite staying in the warring era⚔ obviously goes to the efforts of your brothers👬🏻, you were raised up in the very warm environment💗😇 while your to-be partner Ieyasu😒 grew up in the cruelest environment possible making him shutting his emotions away deep inside his heart making him often come across as a cold or rude person😒.

You and Ieyasu had been married together to strengthen the alliance through family relationships between Oda and Tokugawa Clan🎎🎊🎉❤. And trust me, when I say, that your doting brothers are worried over you due to Ieyasu's reputation is an understatement🤣. "Hey Ieyasu, you better give her a konpeito everyday, got that😏?" "Hey lad, take care of my kitten, will ya🐯😁?" "Lord Ieyasu, she is very pure, please love her with all your heart😇💗" "You should probably work on your communication skills😏🦊" "Lord Nobunaga, are you really sure that you want our precious sister to marry with this person😭🤨?" "Shut the hell up!", said Ieyasu rolling his eyes🙄. "Please don't worry about me, I will be fine💗🥰🤗!", you said with a gentle and reassuring smile to ease your brothers' worries💗. Even though they all were smirking at you proudly, you could clearly see the sadness in everyone's eyes😕 on seeing you go away from Azuchi Castle🏯.

You looked towards him riding in your palanquin and he sharply diverts his gaze away from you riding on his horse🏇. Ieyasu is the kind of person who has no value for love in his life, forget about placing love as his priority, he only focuses his attention on becoming stronger & gaining more power. Despite everything, he couldn't deny the fact that you exuded warmth and happiness around everyone❤.

To be very honest, he was jealous looking at you for the first time as you could express everything you feel just by your face, you were so optimistic towards life💗🥰, seeing your radiance made him annoyed for certain reason maybe because he could see himself as a child before he was sent as a hostage in you right now, he was just like you once upon a time, pure, innocent and oblivious to danger in the outside world. "To think I will have to deal with her all my life, what a pain!", he thought pinching the bridge of his nose. Well Ieyasu, just you wait and see🤣😏!

He took you to his Sunpu Castle🏯 located in Suruga after marrying you. It was surrounded by a lake & it was very beautifully constructed❤💯. It was your new home as you are Lady Tokugawa now, you were excited to begin your new life as his wife. Ieyasu guided you inside the castle and told all the maids to look after your needs. You looked around the new surroundings with high curiosity🤩 which made Ieyasu roll his eyes🙄.

"Um..Ieyasu..where is your room..?", you asked curiously. "My room? You don't have to do anything with it, the maids already arranged everything for you, so you can do anything you want in your room", he replied with a stern voice. "We are a married couple so I thought--", you continued but was interrupted by his cold voice. "So? Our marriage is nothing more than a political alliance so I don't see any reason to entertain beyond anything than it is required & besides, I have no interest in weaklings like you", he replied which made you froze in your tracks with shock,you felt a sharp pain in your heart. He turned his back at you and strode towards his room. The maids and vassals of Ieyasu were quite warm and welcoming towards you and they made you feel at home❤🥰🤗. "I think she is the blooming flower🌸 our Lord needs in his life, I truly think she will melt his heart with her warm smile💓🥰", a maid said with a hopeful smile. "I agree with you, Lord Ieyasu is blessed to have her as his wife, she is an angel💯❤😇", another maid replied with a bright smile.

Next day, you insisted in helping in the work of the Sunpu castle despite the protests of the maids😍💗. "What are you doing😳?", Ieyasu asked, his eyes went wide to see you cleaning polishing the floor💯. "Ieyasu, I thought to help around the castle, can I do it😍❤?", you asked him. "I don't care untill you don't get in my way😒", Ieyasu sighed which made you smile with happiness🥰 & something stirs in his heart seeing it😳💓. You continued doing everything you can to make everyone happy around you💗 with the feeling to made your days extremely productive💯 also following Ieyasu around despite his constant grumbling😒🤣.

A week later, you heard from the vassals that Ieyasu was in angry mood and stressed with his work👀. You made a warm tea & spicy dish🍵 & went inside his room, worried for him😥. "I don't need your concerns, stop annoying me for god's sake", he grumbled in a low voice massaging his temples, his table occupied with many documents🤦🏻‍♂️. "As you wish", you answered. Ieyasu looks up at you and his eyes went wide with shock😳 seeing the extreme hurt in your beautiful eyes & pained smile and before he could say anything else, you slid the door closed🚪.

He told himself that he didn't care but he couldn't erased the memory of you being hurt, you only came to cheer him up & he let his emotions got the better of him, he hated himself for it & he went outside to look for you, to apologize for his mistake🙇🏻‍♂️. You were cleaning the kitchen after keeping the tray back when Ieyasu came behind you. "MC--", he called your name but you weren't ready to face him yet so you went outside quickly. He sighed as he turned his attention back towards the tray of tea which was still warm accompanied with a spicy dish. "How did she knew about my favourite dish🤔?", he wondered as he took a bite and took a sip of tea. It was very delicious and relaxed his nerves but it only made him more worried. Since that day, you avoided him & went on with your daily activities, Ieyasu tried to interact with you but you fled away at the sight of him. Ieyasu could see the way, you grow stiff & the fear in your eyes, it reminded him again of his childhood, he felt guilty😔.

After 3 days of constant awkwardness between you & Ieyasu, you were returning to the Sunpu Castle after purchasing the fabrics, you needed for your commission work & the strap of your heel broke causing you to fall down on the hard ground. Your ankle twisted which made you cry in pain. You got up and started walking on bare foot towards your home, holding your sandal in your hand after realizing you didn't carry extra coins. You staggered inside the castle & made it back to your room. Ieyasu came outside his room after finishing his work & noticed bloodstains on the floor which lead him to your room. He took a glance inside to find you removing the thorns from your foot, whimpering. He quickly went back to his room to carry his medical supplies💊.

"I am coming inside!", he announced before stepping inside your room. "Huh? Ieyasu😳!", you exclaimed as you wiped your tears away. He bend down before you and inspected your foot carefully placing on his knee with a stern expression. "How can you be so clumsy😩?!", he asked in a strict tone but you could see the concern hidden deep in his eyes. He washed your foot and applied ointment making you clutch his shoulder in pain. "This pain is nothing to waste your tears away for!", he said with a cold tone Ieyasu dictionary: Don't cry, it will heal very soon but he dressed your foot with very delicate hands. "Thank you💗🥰😇!", you said with a very sweet smile making his heart pounding wildly in his chest💓, after a long time, you expressed genuine happiness DUE to him❤ WHAT IS THIS WARM FEELING😳? . He quickly got up and went outside your room without as much as a word *ahem*.

That was the incident which acted as an ice-breaker b/w you & Ieyasu❤. He caught you walking around & working hard with the support of your right foot, next day as you were too stubborn to rest in the bed for the whole day & do nothing, well, Ieyasu could relate to you on this behaviour🤷🏻‍♂️. You suddenly found yourself in air. "Woah! Ieyasu, you don't need to carry me--😱", you exclaimed, startled as you cling on him. "Keep quiet🙄!", Ieyasu said coldly as he carried you in his arms everywhere you needed to walk & everytime without any complaints & all the people of the Sunpu Castle were extremely shocked🤯😱😳 seeing their Lord Ieyasu carrying you around with a grumpy expression on his face😒. You were quite embarrassed receiving all the attention😳, your cheeks growing warm, yet you were grateful❤🥰😇. You made him his favourite tea🍵 & spicy dish🌶 as a thank you gift for him on your recovery & he accepted it with a grumpy face😒💗. "I am sorry", Ieyasu whispered glancing at you. "Huh?", you exclaimed, shocked😳. "I apologize for my mistake for letting out my anger on that day!", Ieyasu said it in a single breathe & he was blushing furiously. You giggled seeing his flustered expression & nodded your head😂💗👍🏻while he glared at you😠.

Next day, you saw him feeding a baby fawn🦌. "Wasabi, eat it slowly🙄!", he lightly scolded her. "You have a fawn as your pet, Ieyasu😳😁?", you exclaimed, surprised, a wide grin on your face as you caressed the head of Wasabi💗🥰😇. "She is an emergency food supply! Nothing else!", Ieyasu said, letting out a deep sigh🙄😒. You burst out laughing at his sentence😂 while he glared at you again😠. "Sorry! I didn't mean to laugh😏🤭💗!", you said trying to stifle your laughter. "Whatever! I don't care😒!", said Ieyasu as he continued to feed Wasabi🦌🌿.

This acted as a strong proof for you that despite his cold exterior, Ieyasu was a very compassionate person deep inside🥰 & you were quite determined to broke through his shell that he has built around him💯💗. You noticed the bow & quiver of arrows in Ieyasu's room while cleaning the corridors and you came up with an idea to know him better💃🏻💯. "You want to learn archery🏹?!", Ieyasu asked, looking at you with a dubious gaze. "Why😒?" "Pleaseee🐶" "Just stating a fact, I am a strict teacher!", Ieyasu sighed🤦🏻‍♂️. "Thank you, I am ready for it!", you exclaimed happily😍💗🥰💯💃🏻. He taught you very patiently even when you struggled with the basics💯. Ieyasu often spotted you practicing on your own when you were unaware of his presence which made him smile softly seeing your dedication☺️💯💗 No, I am not smiling😒! Yes Ieyasu, we can see your face😏! Ieyasu gifted you beautiful gold earrings as your reward for working so hard as a student💗✨💯. Your happiness knew no bounds as you hugged him tightly making him stumble backwards. "Hey😳!", he barely avoided the fall holding you. "Thank you, thank you so much, Ieyasu💗🥰😍🤗!", you said, happiness and excitement written all over your beautiful face💗.

You and Ieyasu went to Azuchi Castle to meet your brothers after a long time. "Come here🤝🏻", said Ieyasu as he held your hand. "I don't want you to fall down, it will be a pain!", said Ieyasu with his usual cold tone😒 but still it made your heart warm staying so close by his side💯🥰💗. Your brothers were more than happy to have their darling sister back🕺🏻💗🥰😏😍💯. But one of the messenger of Azuchi Castle came to give a letter to Ieyasu that arrived for him during the banquet to give him while everyone were celebrating together. It took only a moment for him to scan the letter with his eyes and he stood up with seething rage which surprised everyone including you. "Ieyasu, what happened?", you asked, concerned😥. He crumbled the letter and went outside the room without as much as a word. You pick up the letter and read it, "Traitor to Mikawa, Ieyasu Tokugawa, we will give you a very painful death!", your eyes went wide with shock as you excused yourself to go after him. He was in your room standing in the corner, his shoulders tensed. You went behind him & gently touched his shoulder. "Leave me alone!", he said, his tone harsh. "No, I won't leave you alone!", you said with a determined voice as you gently embraced him from behind. He couldn't bring himself to push you away at that moment. "Those Imagawa survivors want to kill me now, huh? Pathetic! They were the one who abused me emotionally & physically in my childhood & they want my loyalty, the audacity to see such a dream", said Ieyasu with a sarcastic chuckle, his fists clenched so tightly, his knuckles turned white. You caressed his knuckles when he held youd hand in return. You let out a gasp of surprise as he told you about his journey as a hostage during his childhood. "You are my wife so you would have known sooner or later, it's better if I told you before you go asking around", he said with a detached voice😒 but you could see the pain in his eyes. "I promise you that I won't let happen anything to you!", you said holding his fist making his eyes go wide, he could see the fire in your eyes, making his heart feel warm hearing someone desire to protect HIM💗. "Let's see, it's quite late, we should go to sleep", he said as he went to his bed, the tips of his ears red. "Yasu...Ieyasu....", he jolted awake with cold sweat all and panting heavily, tears streaming down his cheeks. "Ieyasu, you were having a nightmare but it's okay now, you don't need to be afraid, you are safe", you said in a gentle voice like you were talking to a child, stroking his back. He turns to look at you and hugged you tightly. "There, there, you are very strong, you know that?", you gently whispered to him. Ieyasu despised being vulnerable infront of anyone but he felt very comfortable around you to show his real self for some reason, he let you give him your warmth by caressing his hair while the same time, gently stroking his back and whisper words of encouragement in his ears, he starved for that warmth since years, no one did that for him ever when he was kicked and beaten thousand times over & over. He fell asleep in the very same protective environment on your lap as he kept holding your hand during his sleep as you looked down and realized the cruelties he survived & became the strong warlord he is right now, your admiration love😏💗 for him only grew stronger in your heart.

"Before you leave, carry this with you as a lucky charm💗!", you said as you presented him with the wasabi doll, you made for him praying for his safety. You gave him while he was going for his operation & his chest tighten with feeling of warmth as he hugged you close to his chest, unable to resist himself🤗😍💗✨.

Ieyasu got gravely injured while being captured in the trap of Imagawa survivors on his next operation given by Nobunaga. YOU along with Nobunaga and Mitsuhide came to his rescue which came as a big shock for Ieyasu, you found the wasabi doll fallen on the ground which also showed you the path towards him but also your heart was overwhelmed with worry for him. He didn't expect you to came rushing towards danger for him. He felt a mixture of emotions as he saw you came riding on your horse, he felt surprised, happy, confused, he couldn't pin point this feeling. You successfully lured the Imagawa survivors in your trap using your wits as your brothers wanted and even Ieyasu was surprised seeing your intelligence through his fading consciousness as it gave Ieyasu the moment & adrenaline rush to kill his torturer, the rest of the torturers went outside only to be killed and captured by Nobunaga and Mitsuhide. He stumbles towards you as you caught him in your arms as he said in a soft voice, "Thank you for coming here to my rescue...silly, reckless girl..." as his consciousness drifted away.

He was brought back to Azuchi Castle and you tended to his severe injuries and high fever always staying by his side, taking care of his needs, despite his critical situation, you were filled with hope that he will be okay. You held his hand in both of yours and looked at him waiting to respond to anything straight for 2 days without blinking an eye. Mitsuhide and others told you to take rest and he would look after Ieyasu but NAH🙅🏻‍♀️, you are not budging from his side anywhere making everyone worried for you as well. "Please open your eyes, Ieyasu", you said to him in a pleading voice. His hand twitched in your hands as a response. You looked at him hopefully, "Ieyasu, you can do it!", you said encouraging him to come into consciousness by gently caressing his hair. His eyes fluttered open as a response and you were overcame with a sense of relief as tears roll down your cheeks. Through his hazy vision, he could see you by his side, smiling with tears of happiness. "MC..", he murmured. "Congratulations Ieyasu, I am so happy that you made it back, you are so strong, I am so proud of you💗💯🥺", you said with a gentle voice holding his hand again which he heard very clearly and his heart felt so genuinely happy despite being in pain from the aftermath of the injuries. You quickly ran outside to give this great news to other warlords. As Mitsuhide, Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Mitsunari was narrating Ieyasu about how worried you were when you got the news, your desperate plea to come to his rescue, the way you took care of him staying by his side, suddenly all the exhaustion of working hard to look after him for 2 days hit you alltogether and you fell asleep by his bedside before he could say anything more. He gently caressed your hair and this was the first time, Ieyasu smiled so affectionately at you, he had fallen in love head over heels over you❤🥰.

He realized that he fell in love with you way longer before, even though he was jealous seeing your innocence & warmth looking at you for the first time as it reminded him of his painful childhood yet he grown attached to it despite everything, the way you constantly followed him around with your cheerful warmth even after his harsh words to stay away from him on your first day at his castle, your down to earth nature with everyone around, the way you worked hard and with full honesty, the guilt on his heart when he acted like he didn't care but he felt like kicking himself for the hurtful expression in your eyes, the way your cheeks grew warm when he carried you in his arms, the way you smiled at him after you recovered, the way your eyes glittered with happiness even when he was extremely strict with you as a teacher, your happiness when he gifted you beautiful earrings, the way you encouraged him when he showed you his vulnerable state, the way you came to his rescue him despite the way you stayed by his side to tend to his wounds & needs when he was in critical condition, how could he have not fallen in love with a woman as amazing as you were💗?

Despite his hatred for being helpless and appearing vulnerable infront of anyone, all thanks to you, he got the strength to tone down his stubborness and recklessness. Dang! You even scolded him sounding like him for trying to get out of his bed, company really matters in terms of behaviour, mind you🤣. "What do you think you are doing, huh🙂?", he froze mid-way while trying to stand as he turned to look at you standing with a strained smile with a tray of rice porridge at the door that sent shivers down his spine making him immediately gulp down with unease as he retreated back into his bed. "You can't get out of the bed untill you are heal completely, not under my watch😠!", you said angrily as you shoved the spoon of the rice porridge into his mouth. "Be gentle😐!", Ieyasu grumbled loudly. "I am trying very hard but you make me so angry sometimes! Will it hurt you so much to listen to me atleast for now, huh? It's only for your own good😠🤦🏻‍♀️", you said angrily. He went silent and whispered a small sorry which made your eyes went wide, "What did you say🤔?", you asked him. "Nothing! Now feed me, the porridge is getting cold🍲!", said Ieyasu as he opened his mouth to you. You rolled your eyes like HIM as you continued taking care of him🙄.

A month later, when Ieyasu recovered properly from all his injuries under your care, a banquet was held in order to celebrate his recovery, there were cheers of happiness all around seeing you both arrived together, hand in hand in the hall as everyone looks at you both with welcoming eyes💗🤗😍. Soon enough, everyone were celebrating eat a lot of delicious food made by Masamune and drinking happily. "Ieyasu, do you really think, you should be drinking so much just after you recovered🤨?", you asked him seeing drinking sake cup by cup at a fast pace, eyeing him suspiciously. "Mmm...MC...you are so adorable....💗😍", Ieyasu slurred on his words. MC.exe.stopped working💓😳 Ieyasu giggled and hugged you😂💗🤗 infront of all the Oda warlords making them all gasp with surprise including Mitsuhide😱. You slapped your forehead, yep, he is quite drunk🤦🏻‍♀️. "It's rare for him to drink so much😏", Mitsuhide commented with a sly smirk towards you which made you quite flustered😳. You excused yourself and dragged Ieyasu in your room throwing his arm over your shoulder. "Now, come on, sleep here!", as you dragged him on the bed when he caught your wrist pulling you down under him. "Um..Ieyasu, what--😳", he suddenly pinned your arms above your head and kissed you deeply on the lips making your mind go blank. "You do some crazy things to my heart💓", he started showering you with kisses making you also feel desire growing for him in your heart. You wrapped your arms around him and pulled him down towards you. You and Ieyasu made passionate love💗 for the first time on that beautiful moonlight🌌.

Next day, you got up and quickly dressed up for the day when Ieyasu woke up feeling the headache. "What happened last night? My head is killing me!", he groaned clutching his head which made your heart ache with pain. You prepared the medicine & gave it to him, you also offered to give him head massage which he accepted reluctantly💆🏻‍♂️.

"Ieyasu, I want to say something important to you", you said sitting infront of him. "What is it?", he asked turning his curious eyes towards you seeing your serious expression. "I love you, Ieyasu!", you confessed your feelings for him deep inside your heart. You waited with a bated breathe to hear his response but his eyes widen with surprise, you were afraid that your confession may even destroy the caring bond you both built over months together but you couldn't deny your true feelings from him any longer and you wanted him to know, no matters if he feels the same or not for you. "What nonsense are you speaking, MC? I don't care about your feelings! I don't love you!", Ieyasu said coldly as he stood up. "Ieyasu, wait--" "This discussion is over!", he cut the topic in a sharp tone. "Lord Ieyasu, Lord Nobunaga requests your presence in the war council", a maid informed him. "I am coming!", he said as he strode outside the room. Despite your conviction, you felt your heart broke with such a harsh rejection of your feelings💔.

Ieyasu was given the order to go into the battle to crush the will of their enemy to fight ever again by Nobunaga. He thought that he will be the best person for this responsibility and Ieyasu also wanted to prove his strength in this battle. You also offered to take care of the forces as their nurse in the upcoming battle. Nobunaga gave you the permission knowing well you are the pride of them💯. Fierce battle took place between the forces. You were worried for Ieyasu as he only recovered just few days ago while you were taking care of the injured.

Suddenly your vision went blurry and your head spins, you fell unconscious. When you gain your consciousness, you found happy faces surrounding you in the relief camp. "Congratulations, Lady Tokugawa, you are going to become a mother!", the doctor informed you. "What?!", you exclaimed, happiness swell inside you when you touch your belly💗. "My baby", you muttered the words happily, tears rolling down your cheeks to received the news. But the happiness was short-lived when you received the news that the forces of Ieyasu were overwhelmed in terms of numbers & surrounded by the third forces. "I will bring the reinforcements from Azuchi Castle!", you announced. "Milady, but--", the maid interrupted but you showed a calm smile & your strong resolve to everyone💯🤗. You mounted your horse after avoiding the eyes of your enemy as you ride towards Azuchi with the emergency news🏇. Hideyoshi immediately took action as you both went towards the battlefield again. You noticed Ieyasu amidst the chaos when he finally won the battle & tension left your shoulders but you caught an injured enemy going behind Ieyasu to attack him with sword when he was catching his breathe after winning the battle, without wasting any moment, you quickly took your bow and arrow with trembling hands and shot the person in the leg causing him to fell down & groan in pain🏹. Ieyasu whirled around & realized that you saved his life. "MC!", he shouted as he came running towards you as all the tension left your body & before you could crumple on the ground, he caught you in his arms, thousand emotions ran across his face,"You are so reckless! I am so sorry! Thank you for saving my life", he hugged you tightly, voice too thick with emotion💛✨. You hugged him back,"I am so glad that you are alive and warm!", you said happily💗.

When you both were alone after a long time together in the tent, Ieyasu sat down across you as you wrapped bandage around his injured arm. You were suddenly overcame with the sense of worry about telling your condition. You were scared that he might not be ready to become a father of a child, he might feel burdened by the news, his rejection towards your feelings made a lump in your throat. "MC!", Ieyasu touched your shoulder when you came out of your trance. "Huh? Ieyasu? What?", you asked him. "Are you okay? You look extremely worried right now?", he looked at you with a concerned look on his face.

"Ie-Ieyasu..I..", you broke down into tears. "Why..why...are you crying😨?", Ieyasu panicked. "I..I..am..pregnant..", you finally confessed the news to him with tears. Ieyasu.exe.stopped.working 😳 He froze for a moment from the shocking news, it was too much for this poor boi to process everything in his mind, he suddenly remembered the passionate night you both shared with each other & made his cheeks warm🙈. "I..I am..going..to become a father?", he asked again after coming out of his shock😲. You nodded. "Please...please...don't hate our baby...", you hiccuped your words. "Wha?! What are you saying, MC😱?", exclaimed Ieyasu, completely taken aback. "You..you..don't love me..I didn't want...to burden you..", you cried which broke his heart when he realized your feelings. He embraced you in his arms as he wiped your tears away gently. "I am so sorry MC for hurting your feelings before, for being such a contrary fool, I love you so much, it hurts! Yes, I thought our marriage was nothing more than an political alliance but you took away my heart, you are the most beautiful blooming flower of my life🌹", he started speaking his true feelings slowly, caressing your hair gently. "You are speaking the truth?", you asked him, surprise written all over your face, startled by his revelation. "Yes, I am sorry for not being honest with you, when you confessed your love to me, I was baffled with the emotions swirling in my chest and tried to shut it down, I am so sorry!", he said with an apologetic smile. "I hate you", you cried into his chest. "I love you", he whispered softly rubbing your back. "Stop it!", you closed your eyes, tips of your ears red making him giggle happily😂.

He held your hands and for the first time, he showed the most beautiful smile as the tears roll down his face. "Thank you...thank you...so much....for giving me the chance..to become a father...I promise you that I will do everything to protect and love you and my dear child..my heart is bursting with happiness...I can't believe that I am feeling so much gratitude towards god for giving me you both as the blessings in my dark life..💗", Ieyasu said as he closed his eyes and let out a sigh filled with happiness. You gently wiped his tears as he embraced you again, "I am looking forward to your birth, my dear child", he said with a very soft and happy smile💗😍😇.

When you both returned to the Azuchi Castle, he announced the news of your pregnancy to everyone standing besides you, holding your hand tightly in his as you both smiled happily and the sun shining down on both of you with it's warmth💛🌞. Cue-Hideyoshi crying happily😭💗. Nobunaga smirking like a big child: Hooh~I am going to become uncle😏💗💯. Mitsuhide: This news is so much amusing, Ieyasu took his bold step quicker than I thought😏👍🏻, fufufu💛🦊. Masamune: Right Mitsuhide, our lad did a great job, I can't wait to pamper the baby kitten💙😁😻. Mitsunari: I am so happy for MC-sama and Ieyasu-sama💜😇! Ieyasu: Purple cabbage, stay away from my MC and my child😒💢. "Ieyasu, be nice🗣!", Hideyoshi lightly scolded him. You laugh happily with tears in your eyes seeing the excitement all around😂💛🥺💗😍.

He was very attentive during the time of your pregnancy💛. He was always by your side to tend to your needs💯. He even used to quickly finish all his work in order to spend so much more time with you💛🤗😍😘. His contrary side toned down so much which used to surprise you so much😳😱, "Are you really my Ieyasu😳?" "Ofcourse I am, what do you mean🤨? Wait a minute, are you okay😱? For improving your eyesight, you should consume this herbal drink💊", said Ieyasu as he started grinding the medicine. "WAIT! IEYASU! I didn't meant that! I am perfectly fine! Stop worrying so much😱😳!", you exclaimed, stopping him from being paranoid. Ieyasu being the best healer in Azuchi Castle would make you all type of massaging oils and medicines that would help in making the journey of your pregnancy go smoothly💆🏻‍♀️. He would always encourage you to do exercises which are healthy for your baby by doing it together with him🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️💛💯. He would welcome your mood swings without saying anything snarky in return which made Nobunaga smirked so much with amusement😏💯, Ieyasu wondered how his jaw has not fallen yet😒💢. He was being so different from his usual grumpy self which freak the hell out of Masamune😱 as he used to knock his door during late nights to order request quickly to make you something to help with your cravings🍜, the super grumpy warlord around Masamune was being nice to him😳😱 for sake of your happiness☺️💛. He would quickly carry you in his arms whenever he found you facing difficulty during walking around🤗. Ieyasu cried hearing the movement of his baby resting his head on your belly😭. He used to scold the heck out of Mitsuhide for even attempting to tease you so much🗣💢 which surprisingly shut him up🤐 and Hideyoshi was gawking at the reaction of Mitsuhide😱😳. Whenever Mitsunari was around you, he used to freak out so much😱 because he is known for his clumsiness & he definitely don't want any walking risk near you🙅🏻‍♂️😒. Ieyasu was a big walking pillow to you as he used to give you the most soft cuddles whenever you needed him🤗💛. He found your smiling face when you were in his arms so cute, he couldn't resist himself from kissing you so much at the moment making you purr adorably😘💛😍 fufufu. He would make you lay down your head on his lap and sleep whenever he is busy with his own work.You couldn't believe that there was a time when Ieyasu was so cold towards you and now looking at him made you realize how deeply you were in love with him💛🥰✨.

When the time came for the birth of your baby, Ieyasu panicked so much despite himself😱 which took all of the mental strength of Nobunaga NOT to punch him in the face to calm him down💢☺️👊🏻. He eventually calms down when all the other warlords told him that panic will not do anything to help you but create more trouble instead. When you were giving the birth, he stood by your side holding your hand, kissing you softly on the head😘💛, encouraging you throughout the process💗.

You both were blessed with a baby girl with emerald eyes like Ieyasu and brown hair like you👶💗. Ieyasu was so happy that he couldn't speak for a moment, his heart filled with happiness, tears stream down his cheeks when he holds her gently in her arms🤗😭💗🥰. "She looks so much like you, she is going to be wild girl like you💗🥰!", Ieyasu giggled happily seeing the innocent daughter😂💛. "Her nature is going to be like you!", you pouted at him😒 and he kissed it away😘💛. "Thank you so much for giving me my entire world, MC🌏💗! Thank you so much, I love you💛✨🥰", he said gently embracing you while kissing his daughter.🤗😘

EXTRA~

"Papa😍!", your little girl hugged her father as he took her in his arms 🤗💗 while he was feeding Wasabi🦌. "She is so naughty😩!", you sighed entering the room. "What did my naughty princess do again🤨💛?", Ieyasu asked, raising his eyebrows at her watching your tired expression. "I did no such thing Papa, hehehehe😂💗😍", she said giggling happily on his chest. No, Ieyasu definitely didn't melt at her daughter antics💗."Hoooh~ I will tell you Ieyasu😏, she ate a handful of your favourite spicy pickle today🌶, she tickled Nobunaga & ran away🏃🏻‍♀️ when he refused to give her his favourite konpeito, laughed loudly when Mitsunari accidentally fell down the stairs🤣, hit the boy in the town who was trying to flirt with her👊🏻, I think the only good thing she did today was helping Mitsuhide escape from the nagging of Hideyoshi🙅🏻‍♀️, I mean I also used to save him as well but Hideyoshi got angry at me many times for favouring him🤨, so I guess not🤔? Oh god, the stress is killing me🤦🏻‍♀️!", you said slapping your forehead, letting out a wry grin😅.

"I am so proud of you, my dear daughter, you did great💛😍🤗💯!", Ieyasu chuckles happily with a smirk listening to the adventures of his little girl😂💛. "Don't encourage her mischievous behaviour😒, I thought I would be the one who will pamper her to no ends and you will discipline her but the situation is entirely reversed, I see🤦🏻‍♀️😅!", you said shaking you head at both of them. Ieyasu was kissing and cuddling with his daughter so much that it made you jealous☹. "Someone has completely forgetten me, it seems😓!", you sighed sadly. "Who has forgetten about you, my silly and cute wife🤗💗😘?", you were suddenly embraced by him and kissed by Ieyasu, he nuzzled on your cheeks happily which made you giggle happily😂 & the little girl blush furiously🙈. "Mumma, Papa, love me too💛🥺!", the baby girl tugged on your and Ieyasu's sleeves with a needy voice💛🥰 & you both cuddle with her & kissed her happily on either side of her rosy cheeks together💛😘🥰. Ieyasu has truly got the whole world in his arms and he swears to protect and love them at all costs in his life👨‍👩‍👧💛💯✨🌎.

Alien Pt2

This is the last of this idea drabble that I have written. There is a loose idea of the rest of the story, mostly revolving around Reader, but little to know actual plot. Enjoy~

---

“WHAT A STUPID JOKE.”

“That would make things more interesting.”

“C’mon Classic, it ain’t that fuckin’ funny.”

Stretch snorts into his arms, which forces another round of laughter from you before you can finally open your eyes again.

“IF YOU ARE ONLY WASTING OUR TIME WITH PATHETIC JOKES, I WILL CLUB ALL OF YOU ON THE HEAD.”

You’re wiping away tears, giggling again when the fancy-dress Sans alternate beside you chuckles at your state. Poor Stretch and Sans are so tired, they’re delirious in their laughter and it takes much longer for them to settle down. G finally clears the tea from his non-existant lungs and Green has cleaned up the tea G spat out in his laughter.

“ALIENS WOULD BE AN INTERESTING THING TO CONSIDER. WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN WHY COMET AND I ARE HERE.”

“DO YOU NOT WORK ON THE MACHINE WITH PAPS AND THE OTHERS?” Fancy-Blue asks from behind his equally fancy brother. 

The two skeletons in yellow and dark blue each shake their heads. The Sans-alternate speaks up further, “me and neb know rocket science, not quantum physics. Even our engineering knowledge is limited to how to run a rocket versus building machines from scratch.”

“YES. ENGINEERING WOULD FALL UNDER OUR ALPHYS’ EXPERTISE. UNFORTUNATE THAT SHE IS NOT HERE.”

The edgy Blue slams both hands onto the table top to garner attention. “SILENCE YOU IDIOTS! NONE OF THAT EXPLAINS WHY THERE IS A HUMAN HERE.” He turns a fierce glare to Sans at the head of the table. “IT WAS YOU WHO DEMANDED EVERYONE FOLLOW YOUR POINTLESS RULES, ONE OF WHICH WAS TO CLEARLY TO AVOID HUMANS.”

Sans sighs heavily. You get the feeling he’s heard this alternate Blue argue a lot. Sans and Stretch share a look, probably trying to figure out where to start, so you jump in instead.

“I was pulled through the machine as well. I arrived with Blue, Stretch, Red, and Edge.” Four of the only six skeletons you knew. Aside from G and Green, who you met earlier that day.

Everyone else perks up and studies you. “No kiddin’?” Fancy-Sans asks. 

“Ya don’t look any different from humans ‘round here.” Fancy-Stretch comments. 

Fancy-Blue looks uncertain. “HAVE YOU RUN INTO THIS WORLD’S VERSION OF YOU?” 

“WHY WOULD A HUMAN BE PULLED THROUGH THE MACHINE?” Edgy-Blue scoffs.

“WE NEVER FIGURED THAT OUT.” Edge answers.

“Ya.” Red points you out to everyone else. “Ya fuckin’ vanished after two days.”

It sounds like he’s accusing you of something and the glare he’s leveled you with matches the glare from Edge. Several other gazes turn suspicious at the statement. 

You just nod. “Yes. It’s a good thing I did too.” You explained, but honed in on Red when you continued, “I was hospitalized for three months.”

“WHAT?!” Blue and Papyrus shout at the same time. Their surprised shock seems to unnerve many of the others in the room and when you turn to reassure your friends, you’re pulled part-way from the chair as Papyrus hugs you. 

“What are you talking about, hon?”

“Why didn’t you call us, kid?”

“ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!”

You chuckle in Papyrus’ arms and pat them to ask for him to release you. He does, gently lowering you back into the chair but stands close behind you when you face the table again. 

“Relax guys, I’m fine now. Obviously.” You wave a hand over yourself to show how very alive you currently were. “That was two years ago and things have settled down quite a bit.”

“But what happened? Why were you in the hospital?” Stretch worries.

“AND WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL US SOONER!” Blue argues.

You raise both hands in a mix of defense and apology. “I’m sorry guys, but I didn’t want to tell anyone at the time or until recently.” You look to Sans. “Remember how, when we all showed up, everyone had various headaches or reactions to the travel?” Sans and Stretch both nod their heads. 

“Ya,” Red interjects, “you were fuckin’ unconscious half the time.”

“I know.” You state. “I got scared and called a taxi at two in the morning to take me to a hospital since everyone was too busy trying to figure things out at first.” You give a pointed look to Sans and Papyrus, who flinch and blanch at the look. “I understand why you didn’t want anyone out of the house at the time, but I was severely struggling with my health.”

Sans and Paps look guilty at your explanation and Stretch and Blue share a worried look. Before anyone else speaks, you continue. 

“I listened to the doctors and nurses while I was under their care. Didn’t recognize half of what they were saying but I made sure to remember as much as I could. They had to transfer me twice to larger hospitals because my body was struggling so much to adapt to this place.” Now you give Sans and Papyrus forgiving glances. “Know that I don’t blame you guys for anything, okay? But I almost died several times.”

That makes Blue and Papyrus give worried cries and they each move around the table to gather you in a hug between them. With arms pinned to your sides, you try to return their hugs as best you could. 

“WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU ALMOST DIE? ARE HUMANS SO WEAK TO NEARLY DUST FROM A SIMPLE HEADACHE?!” Edge looks like he takes personal offense to this knowledge. 

“She has stated earlier that it was the magical energy of this world that was attacking her body.” Green tries to explain while you’re still held hostage in Blue and Papyrus’ arms. 

“She came into Sans’ office earlier and said that her body was changed by coming here, so much so, that she doesn’t think she can be returned home.”

There were a few gasps around the room, including from Blue and Papyrus who immediately hug you tighter, winding you. 

“WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? ARE YOU SAYING THAT WE COULD BE STUCK IN THIS PATHETIC WORLD BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT US HERE?!” Edgy-Blue shouts, presumably, at Sans. 

“We didn’t notice any problems by coming here.” Fancy-Stretch states.

“AND CERTAINLY NO ACHES AND PAINS FROM THE SUDDEN TRAVEL.” Fancy-Blue adds. 

“Guys, please!” You shout from your containment. The excitable skeletons release you back into the chair but stay close. Blue takes hold of one of your hands. “Calm down guys. Let me explain further.” You take a breath and look to the pair in the back with stars and constellations on their clothes. They stand straighter under your attention but watch you with worry in their sockets. “I asked Sans if there was anyone with advanced knowledge of Space. Is that you two?”

They both nod, the Papyrus adding on, “YES! IN OUR WORLD, WE LIVE IN SPACE!”

You give a noise of interest. “Really? Cool. We will need to talk more then to get some details, but, “ You open the thin file folder you had brought with you and push the collection of your notes around the table. There’s notes of various things you studied in your time away from the skeletons that brought you here, but you make sure the Monsters from Space get your notes on the galaxy and solar system that you took.

“These are a few of the notes I took over the two years. Each one based on a question I had or something I took notice of.” You slide some of your health notes to Green when you see they peak his interest. “One thing I learned is,” You point to the Galaxy notes in the Space-Sans’ hands, “My world is from a different Galaxy. An entirely different planet.”

That gets surprised gasps, shocked shouts, disbelief, and various murmured conversations start up at once. You smile at the chaos you created, but point to your Galaxy notes again and shout.

“This world has, what I believe to be, my home galaxy marked as M-37. Nicknamed, Milky-Way.” You chuckle at that, “Which is funny, because that’s what we called our Galaxy too. We even nicknamed this Galaxy, Andromeda. Funny how that works out, huh?”

“SO YOU’RE NOT AN ALTERNATE SANS OR PAPYRUS?” Fancy-Blue shouts in awe.

“Nope.”

Space-Sans chuckles deeply. “ ‘Who brought the human?’ “, he repeats. He barks out a laugh and then starts laughing harder as the joke you had made finally sets in anew. Several other skeletons also start laughing at the new context of the joke.

-----

Reader is the Alien. Dun dun duuuunnnn

The starting idea was basically; The MilkyWay is a galaxy without magic and Andromeda is a galaxy with magic.

Request: Hey,I just saw that your requests were open and I was wondering if you could write one about a slytherin reader and young remus and you dislike each other but secretly like each other?Thanks and amzing work👍👏

Requested By: @lespaceboi

Post Date: 8-28-19

Paring: Remus Lupin x Reader

Word Count: 3.1K

A/N: Idk if it’s what you wanted exactly but I got carried away

~Master List~

Requests are closed

You were making your way to your common room after breakfast with your book in your hand, barely paying attention to the people around you. You did this often, reading while walking, and people pretty much knew to lookout for you whenever they saw. People were pretty helpful like that, moving you or others out of the way if you were going to collide or giving you a swift turn when they knew you were headed to a certain class and were going to miss the hallway. Everyone was watching out for you, well almost everyone.

“Oh!” You groaned as your butt hit the floor, your book spun across the ground before a hand stopped it. You looked up before meeting the brown eyes you’ve grown to hate. “Ugh. It’s you.” You grumbled as you pushed yourself up sticking a hand out to Remus to get your book back. He gave you a forced smile before turning heel and walking away, your book tucked in his arms. You rolled your eyes, walking after him as he begun to walk backwards.

“You know Y/L/N, people tend to walk better when they’re not nose deep in a book.” He jokes as you mocked the smirk on his face.

“You know Lupin, people tend to read better when their books aren’t held hostage.” You both came to a stop at the Fat Lady and Remus looked down at the book.

“Advanced Potions? We don’t take that for another year. Or do you Slytherins find yourselves in different classes?” He raised his eyebrow as you snatched your book away.

“If you must know, I’m reading it for fun. Now I get to ask, why are you like this with me? I see you with everyone else yet you’re only a pompous ass when you’re with me.” You pointed out as he laughed. You hated that laugh, it meant he knew something you didn’t and god only knows how many times you hear that laugh. You bit the inside of your cheek before turning around making your way back to the Slytherin Common Room.

Remus watched you leave as a victorious smile crossed his face and he entered the common room. His eyes fell onto his best friends. Peter and Sirius were face first on the floor talking as James tried flirting with Lily again. Remus took the seat opposite of them and Sirius moved himself onto his elbows and peered up at the boy.

“Tormenting Y/L/N again?” He asked as everyone turned to look at him, taking in the smile plastered on his face. Remus just furrowed his brows and crossed his arms, glancing around at his amused friends.

“How’d you know?” Everyone basically groaned as Sirius shot him an Are-you-kidding-me look.

“Mate its all you ever do now a days.” James spoke as Lily nodded her head.

“Honestly, it’s either you torment her or she torments you. And whenever you’re not with us-“

“You’re with her.” Peter interrupts Sirius as they both nod. Soon all four of them are doing it and Remus couldn’t help but sink into his chair a little. Was he really like this? Sure he treated you differently, but he always chalked it up to loving your reaction. You were always one to sass him back or something and Remus always thought he liked seeing you worked up. He hadn’t realized that he in fact spent so much time with you.

You hadn’t realized it either, but Remus was soon taking up all your thoughts. You couldn’t even look at your Advanced Potions book as you tossed onto your bedside table because all you saw was Remus smug expression. It made your stomach churn.

Lucky for you, the next few days were spent Lupin free, just how you preferred. You made your way into the library with the potion book in hand, finally finished and ready to turn in. You had some spare time today so you made your way through the aisles of books, scanning for anything really before a certain conversation started playing on the other side of the rack.

“I swear I didn’t know it was Moony’s chocolate when I ate it!” A voice you recognized as Sirius Black’s said as you shook your head, trying to block them out at the nicknamed mention of Remus. You drifted your fingers across the books in hopes of hurrying up before you heard someone else talk, who you rightfully guessed as James.

“Yeah, well who else’s could it of been Padfoot! Remus is the only one who saves his chocolate for when he wolf’s out! It doesn’t matter, Full Moon is Monday, just go to Hogmeade tomorrow and replace it.” Your interest was peaked the moment they said “wolfs out” but by the time they were finished talking your mouth just about hit the floor and you were staring off into space. You hadn’t seen the two figures turn the corner and stop when they saw you. You met their eyes before dropping the book you once had a tight hold on and sprinting out of the library.

James turned to Sirius, slightly urgency in his voice. “Do you think she heard us?”

Sirius rolled his eyes as he stared at his best friend. “No I think the girl just likes running.” He deadpanned before pulling James sleeve and taking off after you. The only problem was after you bolted from the library, he had no idea where you went. They were about to run to their room and use the map to find you until a pair of hands landed on their shoulders. They both whipped their heads around, hoping to find you but instead finding the one person they were dreading talking to.

“What’s wrong?” Remus questioned as he looked between the two, he knew something was wrong as they both were panting and practically jumped out of their skin. Sirius gulped, taking a step closer to Remus as he looked down at the floor.

“It’s Y/N.”

You didn’t know where you were going, honestly you just needed to get out of there. Remus was a werewolf. Like an actual werewolf! You didn’t want to believe it, you wanted to just think that Sirius and James were messing with you or they were talking about something else. You paused in your step, closing your eyes as everything finally started to make a little more sense. The scars on his face. The once a month he seemed to be even more intolerable. Hell even the damn nickname! But the more you thought about it, the more you wanted to wrap your head around it. You found yourself alone in the courtyard, no one else around so you took a seat on one of the benches. You rested your elbows on your knees as you buried your head in your hands. You didn’t know how long you sat like that until rapid footsteps behind you caused you to shoot up. Remus was practically sprinting towards you, James and Sirius not far behind. Your eyes widened before your back hit the wall behind you, Remus towering over you. James and Sirius began to move to pull him off you as you shook your head.

“It’s fine. I got this.” You assured them as they took a few weary steps back, obviously not trusting you and Remus together. Remus was furious, his eyes darted between yours as he tried to hold back his anger.

“So what are you gonna do now? Huh? Tell everyone? Let everyone know my secret? Oh no better yet, tell no one until I least suspect it then drop the bomb?” He seethed as you took in his words. You looked over his face, his eyes covered in a faint line of unshed tears as he pursed his lips together.

“No.” You answered truthfully. So many thoughts were rushing through your head, but not one of them involved sharing Remus’ secret to the world.

Remus shakes his head, “You know what Y/L/N- wait did you say no? You’re not going to tell anyone?” He pushes himself away from the wall and your body as you nod your head. He searches your eyes for any chance you could be lying but finds none. “Why not?”

“Why do you care? Its not my secret. It’s not my place to tell anyone.” You snap as James and Sirius go all protective mode again. This time it was Remus who told them it was okay, then telling them to leave you alone for a bit. You wanted to protest, to just let this conversation die but sadly that doesn’t look to be in the cards. Remus turned back to face you, a look of surprise still written across his face.

“I just- I don’t know what to say.” With that, you rolled your eyes, pushing past Remus as you head back towards the castle, talking with your back to him.

“Everyone’s entitled to keep secrets Lupin.”

“Thank you.” He yelled as you fully stopped, turning around to look at him as you shrugged.

“Don’t thank me. I’m literally doing nothing.” You continued walking as he laughed, a light laugh that cause you to bite back a smile. “Well, that’s new.” You mumbled to yourself as you shook the impending smile off your face and headed to your next class.

The next few days were weird to say the least, everywhere you looked Remus was there. Only it wasn’t the same as before. He was being... helpful. He made sure you had all the ingredients in potions, made sure you had any of the books you wanted at the library, and he even helped you when Lestrange wouldn’t leave you alone. But after a week you got fed up. You were on your way back from Transfiguration as you saw the boy of your headaches walking alone. You made a rash decision as you clasped onto his robes, pulling him into the nearest broom closet.

Remus was shocked when you pulled on him and crammed yourselves into the tiny closet. Out of anything you could’ve done, this was not one that he imagined.

“Ow! You’re on my foot Lupin! Just move- come on! Lumos!” You finally yelled before a bright light filled the cramped space. Remus was practically pushed right up against you as you held the wand to your side.

“Why are we here?” He grumbled as he tried to pull his arm up from the very awkward angle, only managing to push into you more.

“We are here because- oh just let me do it.” You paused as you shifted, allowing Remus to fix his arms and place them on the shelves behind you, one arm on either side. Maybe if either of you were less focused on the current events that is your ‘friendship’ you would’ve realized exactly what this looked like. “We are here because the last week you have been acting different.”

“Different?” He questions, already knowing what you were talking about.

“Yeah, different.” You put more emphasis on the word as you gripped your wand tighter. “You’ve actually been nice to me and I want it to stop.” You demanded as Remus bit his lip. He knew exactly what was going on. You knew his secret and he wanted to repay you, so he decided to try and be nice to you more. But you didn’t like it. It turns out for you, the moment you get Remus Lupin without all the snarky comebacks and impossible to ignore pranks, you get more irritating. Your friend was he first one to point out you were more mad then normal, you tried to push the thought away until Remus showed up that day and she told you it was because of him. She knew of your relationship with him, everyone did, it wasn’t like you were keeping your hatred a secret. Remus’ mouth dropped when you to told him to stop being nice.

“I thought you hated mean Lupin.” He mumbled as you laughed.

“I hate you Lupin. Mean or nice, it’s just the nice version is creeping me out.” You gave him a fake apologetic shrugged, catching the way his lips turned up at the corner before he made them normal again. That same feeling in you from when he laughed occurred as you finally took in how close you were to him as you pushed back a little, letting your body press against the shelves. The redness creeping across your face was showcased from the light of your wand as Remus stared down at you. It looked good on you. Made you seem a little more decent than most of your run ins with him where you were both insulting each other until one gave up. He liked this. He hated you, but he liked this feeling in him.

Without much thought he made more room for himself, letting his hands move from the shelf behind you to your hips when the room fell silent.

His hands held you in place as you stared up at him, seeing the way he smiled at you as you came to your senses. You pushed his hands away from you as you opened the door a little, letting the harsh light of Hogwarts infiltrate your little hide out. “Look, I know I’m keeping your secret Remus, but I’d appreciate it if things could just go back to normal.” You whispered before letting the door slam behind you, leaving Remus standing in the dark with a big smile on his face and weird feeling in his gut because for the first time since you and him met you didn’t call him Lupin. You said Remus and it made his heart stop.

The next day he pretended like he felt nothing in that closet, like the thought of you now didn’t make his head race. He carried on like he had before you learned about his secret, using every opportunity to steal your belongings or snatch the book you had your eye on. Things were starting to return to normal and you were enjoying it until something in the back of your head stopped you. Or rather your friend smacking you in the back of the head.

“What was that for?!” You yelled as you rubbed your head. Y/F/N sighed as she fell onto your bed next to you.

“Deal with Remus.” She said as you scoffed. You tucked the book you were currently in the middle of reading under your pillow as you joined her at the head.

“And pray tell why do I need to talk to Remus?”

She practically lit up like a Christmas tree, making you even more confused.

“You called him Remus.” She shouted as your stomach dropped. You looked like you saw a ghost as thoughts of Remus flooded your mind. It was dumb really, how you acted. You pushed yourself off the bed, making your way through the school before seeing Remus leaning against the same closet you dragged him in as you approached. He hadn’t seen you until you tapped his shoulder causing him to stop leaning on the door and allowing you to open it. He didn’t say anything as you followed you in, not even needing you to pull him for him to know to follow. It was dark as you made out the outline of his face and pulled out your wand, lighting up the room.

“What are we doing in here?” Remus whispered as his hands trailed lightly onto your hips in hopes you wouldn’t push them off.

You didn’t.

Instead you reached up and took a hold of his shirts collar, pulling him down to smash your lips onto his. He kept one hand on your hip, letting the other cup your jaw as he ran his tongue across your lip. You didn’t waste a second as your lips parted, being separated more when his tongue entered your mouth. It carried on more like that until you couldn’t breathe anymore. You pulled apart, panting as you reached up to touch your kiss swollen lips. Remus tucked a strand of hair behind your ears as you looked up at him, running your teeth barely across your bottom lip. Butterflies. That’s what that feeling was in your stomach. You liked the way he made you feel.

“I have a secret.” You mumbled as Remus tilted his head, looking down at you. “I don’t think I hate you anymore.” You whisper as Remus let’s out a genuine laugh. You smiled as he nodded.

“Yeah, I don’t think I do too.” He pulled you back up into a kiss and you stayed like that for a while. “You know, I think I like kissing you more than I like fighting with you.”

“You know,” you nodded your head, bringing your fingers up to your chin in fake thought, “I think I have to agree with you on that.” You shared a smile before you paused. “Do you think we could still argue and everything out there?” You asked as you nodded towards the exit. He looked at the door and smirked turning back to you.

“This can be kind of like our little secret. As long as I can kiss you whenever we’re alone.” He concluded as you learn up to place a quick kiss to his lips.

“If you don’t stop talking I’ll hex you.” You threatened as you turned around to face your boyfriend and Sirius who sat next to you and had both been talking all throughout potions. He rolled his eyes, leaning forward on his desk as you crossed your arms.

“You’re just mad cause you don’t have anyone to talk to.” He justified as Sirius watched the two of you in amusement. You stood off your stool, coming right up to his desk as he also stood up.

“No, I just feel bad for Black who actually has to talk to you all day.” You said before you left to go get some more ingredients. Sirius leaned back on the desk, shaking his head at Remus.

“Moony I have no clue how you had been nice to her for a week. She’s a nightmare.” Sirius declared before spinning in his stool and focusing on his potions. Remus on the other hand watched you, carefully seeing the way you picked out your own ingredients and helped someone else find the one they needed. You glanced up at him, catching him in his stares before smiling and winking at him. How could he stand being with a nightmare like you? Easy, you weren’t actually a nightmare and he loved you. And all of your friends were none the wiser.

#7? NSFW? Sternclay? Pretty please 🙇‍♀️

7: It’s our one year anniversary fuck how does one celebrate an anniversary of rivalry and one-sided devotion?

Joseph Stern, alias Agent M, has accomplished what no other member of the National Hero Control Task Force has been able to: he has captured a member of the elusive Pine Guard.

The guard has been causing chaos for the better part of two years, bringing important projects such as oil pipeline development, ICE facilities, and start-up construction to catastrophic halts. 

Stern isn’t invested in those projects, but he believes in the greater good, in law and order. 

One member of the guard in particular has caught and held his attention since he first laid eyes on him. Bigfoot, or so he’s called, has eluded most of their security tapes in a way his compatriots haven’t, and has been reported as more than once saving civilians and bystanders from danger.

He also once stayed behind to ensure Stern stayed conscious after sustaining a head injury. Stern has never been able to get an explanation as to why. But after that day, puzzling out Bigfoot’s motives, his past, his personality has become Sterns true goal. 

Convenient, then, that the man is currently strapped, standing up, to a holding table in his base.

“I knew word of those files would get your attention.”  He stands toe to toe with Bigfoot, who growls but says nothing.

“There’s no call for that. Besides, even if you’d managed to infiltrate here without alerting me, there wouldn’t have been anything to steal. All the information on the identity of the pine guard members is up here. I haven’t shared it with my superiors yet.” He taps his head.

“So, you’re bluffing.”

“Not at all. Barclay.” 

Dark brown eyes go wide with concern. 

“Okay, so you got me. That doesn’t mean you got the rest of us.”

Stern sighs, counts off on his fingers, “Mothman is Indrid Cold, Jackalope is Aubrey Little, Cactus Cat is Dani Coolice, Champ is Duck Newton, Hodag is Ned Chicane, Jersey Devil is Arlo Thacker, and Echidna is Madeline Cobb.”

Barclay sags in his restraints. 

“What do I have to do to keep them safe?”

“Nothing. You’re eco-terrorists, Barclay. Even if I wanted to I can’t keep the information I gained secret from my superiors.”

“You could. Like, literally. Just don’t tell them.”

“I can’t do that. I’m sorry.” The apology doesn’t come out as hollow as he needs it to, and Barclay arches an eyebrow.

“Ahem, anyway, you won’t be needing this anymore.” He lifts off Barclays blue mask (one that compliments his coppery beard), not surprised at all by the face underneath yet delighted at seeing it. He’s thought it handsome since the first time he laid eyes on it

The spell is broken by Barclay biting his hand. He yelps, dropping the mask on the floor. 

“That wasn’t necessary.”

“Neither was unmasking me. Jesus, you never struck me as some gloaty douche  but obviously I was wrong.”

That stings, and so Stern turns on his heel with a flourish. 

“Careful, or I won’t share dinner with you.”

“Oh no, no gruel or power bars or whatever you joyless fucks eat for me--do you smell saffron?”

“Yes.” Stern wheels out the small cart, covered platter glistening atop it and a vase that’s too small for the bouquet sitting in it trying valiantly not to tip over. “I made us saffron rice with lamb, and red wine dark chocolate cupcakes.” He removes the cover, feeling rather smug.

“Shit that looks good.” Barclay whispers, licking his lips. Then he looks up, “Wait, made us?”

Oh lord, the confusion on Barclay’s face sends pangs through his chest. What he wouldn’t give to kiss it away. 

“I, well, it has been exactly a year since we met. And I was trying to think of ways to mark the date, and I know you like cooking and food and so this seemed like a good gift.”

“...Did you make us a fucking anniversary dinner?”

“Technically? Yes.”

“Alright, Mister special agent, how am I supposed to eat it when I’m strapped to a fucking table?”

“I could, um, feed it to you? I shut off the cameras in this room so that I could do so without embarrassing either of us.”

“This what you do every Friday, strap random guys down and feed them? Sounds pretty kinky.” Barclay smirks. 

“I enjoy being helpful, something a so-called ‘hero’ should understand. And I didn’t choose a random guy; I strapped you, specifically, down.”

Barclay fixes him with an amused look before shrugging as much as his bonds allow, “Fine, you clearly worked hard on dinner. May as well make the most of it.”

Stern slices a chunk of lamb, offers it to Barclay who parts his lips without hesitation.

“Holy shit, that’s good.” The blissed out look on his face is one of Sterns favorite views in the world. He hates having to pretend like he hasn’t seen it before. 

As he cuts another piece Barclay asks, “You make the bouquet too?”

“Yes. I took some classes on flower language and  arranging a few years back, and I like doing it.”

Another bite, and this Barclay sighs happily before cocking his head, “You just not gonna eat?”

“Guests eat first.”

“I’m a hostage, agent, not a guest.”

“My point stands.”

“Y’know, if you just undid my hands, we could eat at the same time. Make it a real anniversary dinner instead of some repressed man in black feeding me my last meal as a free man.”

“I’m not just any man in black, I’m your main rival. You said so yourself, once. And the answer is no to the unlocking.”

“Well, there goes that option.” 

Stern sees him tug the strings of his woven bracelet a moment too late. He braces for an explosion or a weapon flying at him. 

Instead, reality warps for a nanosecond, and then Barclay isn’t in front of him anymore. Staring down at him is what he can only describe as a Bigfoot. And honest to god, fur-covered, claw-handed Bigfoot.

A Bigfoot that is no longer restrained. 

“You’re, you’re really-”

“Yep.” Barclay lunges, but instead of grabbing Stern he reaches for the cutlery, tossing it up and over the rooms computer center and far out of range.

Then he grabs Stern by the back of his neck, slamming him against the restraint table. Stern retaliates, jumping up and landing his feet against Barclay’s chest. There’s an “oof” but nothing else. Stern tries to catch him with his stunner, but Barclay avoids him easily, twisting his hands behind his back and letting go as he launches Stern into the window. Mercifully it's made of bullet-proof, triple strength glass, so he doesn’t plummet fifty stories to his death.

He’s simply pinned by his nemesis, the city lights thousands of eyes watching his defeat.

“Are you, ow, all monsters?”

“Nope, just some of us. And you’ve put me in a real bad situation, agent.” Barclay growls in his ear, “first by blabbing that you, and only you really did know our secret identities, and then leaving me no choice but to take off my disguise.”

“I, I’m sorry your poor problem solving skills caused you to reveal that Bigfoot is not merely a codenameOW.” Barclays claws pierce his suit, “Go ahead and kill me. I won’t give up any information to the Pine Guard. I’m prepared to die in the service of my agency.”

“You sure about that?”

“Yes.” He lies

“Nothing you’d miss?”

“No.” 

A rumbling purr in his ear this time, “Not even me?”

“N-no, what, where on earth would you get that idea?”

“Flowers gave you away. Red carnations are admiration, daffodils mean unrequited love, and orange roses are fascination.” 

“That’s a coincidence.” He grits his teeth to prevent the truth spilling out. 

“Not for a guy who admitted he knew their meanings. And you know what else?” He clips Stern’s hands behind his back in cuffs designed to hold the super-strength of Duck Newton, making escape impossible for Sterns normal-human abilities “you put some wild grasses in their to fill the whole thing out.”

“So?”

“Grass means submission. You put all your feelings for me in a vase and gave me plenty of time to take them in, probably thinking it a clever in-joke to yourself. But that one? I’m betting that one was accidental, subconscious. You want to submit. Whether that’s in general or to me I have no clue.”

“Just you.” He may as well confess it. One less secret to carry to his grave.

A low, dangerous chuckle fills the room as he’s spun away from the window and shoved to his knees.

“That what you want, agent?” Barclay replaces the bracelet, becoming human before his eyes, “Want to be a good boy for me?”

He nods, cheeks hot and gaze locked on the floor until Barclay yanks it up by his hair, tearing strands loose from their carefully gelled hold. 

“Aw now, no need for that.” Barclay traces the path of the blush with his thumb, voice mockingly sweet, “know your overlords like everyone to be emotionless, but there’s nothing wrong with wanting a good fuck, even if half the city can probably see it from here.”

“Oh lord.” He moans, the image sending his thoughts, his dignity, his blood, south.

Another laugh, his head yanked sideways to take in the view, “Damn, you like that too, huh? Like the idea of everyone watching while one of America’s finest begs me to fuck his face. Your superiors finding out their best agent is so needy he’d do anything for me to touch him?”

The tears pricking his eyes are from want, not shame, when he chokes out, “yes.”

Barclay turns his head forward, then up. 

“Please, Barclay,  please.”

“Please fuck you?”

“Yes.” He whimpers.

“Nope. Sorry, agent, I don’t sleep with the enemy, even if he gives me the worlds bluest puppy dog eyes. Not to mention, threatening the people I love is the opposite of being a good boy. But since it’s our anniversary, I think you do owe me a gift.” His fingers touch the edge of Sterns mask, “let’s see who’s been tracking me for a year.”

“Wait, don’t-” The mask tears off. The two men stare at each other, frozen, one in surprise and the other in fear.

“Joseph?” 

“Hello.” He wants to look away, to see literally anything other than the betrayal on Barclay’s face.

“I, uh, I imagine this will lose me the title of ‘favorite customer’ at the Coffee Lodge.”

“You, you’ve been spying on us. You’ve been at the Lodge almost every fucking day since June, and you’re Agent fucking M, I, I can’t-” Barclay paces, fingers running through his hair, “Did you start coming just to stake us out?”

“Yes. I tracked your movements, Barclay. I’m ashamed to say I accessed the medical records of anyone in the target area who had top surgery to narrow down my suspects, and eventually identified you as Bigfoot. Once I started getting coffee at the lodge everyday it was easy to piece together who else was on the team.”

“Yeah, and flirting with me probably helped a lot.”

“Uhhhhhhhhm.” 

“Oh, come on, don’t try to pretend that wasn’t part of your investigation.”

“It isn’t. Wasn’t.”  He lowers his head meekly. 

Barclay stops moving, sighs heavily, “Is there anywhere in this damn place that’s smaller and doesn’t have cameras?”

“My bedroom only has one. Just take down the smoke detector on the right hand side as soon as we go in.”

Barclay easily lifts him over his shoulder and trudges down the hall and into the bedroom. Rips the “smoke detector” from the wall, sparks crackling when he does. Then he deposits Stern on the bed and turns his desk chair to face it. 

“We’ve got about forty-five minutes before my ride gets here. Talk.” Barclay sits down, crosses his arms while Stern attempts to sit up straight.”

“Wait, how can you know that.”

A mild smile, “You really think I’d walk into such an obvious trap without an escape plan?”

“No.” He mutters, dejected, “what do you want me to say, Barclay?”

“The truth, genius.”

“You seem to know most of it already.”

“Yeah, but one big piece is missing; why the hell didn’t you write down our identities somewhere the higher ups could find them if something happened to you? Shit, why not just sic a bunch of agents on us when we were all at the lodge making, or drinking, coffee?”

“I...I don’t know.”

“Bullshit.”

“Because the lodge was my haven too, alright?” Stern snaps, “I felt understood there, safer than I did in any secret base. And every time Dani laughed at something Aubrey did, or Duck told some corny joke, or you smiled at me, I understood more and more why you all do what you do. I felt my commitment to my work waning. I had to do something to reiterate my belief in it. This was that something.”

Barclay is silent for a moment, taking Stern in bit by bit.

“You want to leave the NHCTF, don’t you?” He leans forward in quiet shock. 

Stern nods, defeated, “I’ve been questioning our methods for some time, but always thought that what we did was in the service of keeping people safe. I’m still not fully convinced the Pine Guard is going about it the best way, but from what I’ve seen, you do a far better job of it than we do.”

“So join us. Help us figure out how to be even better.” Barclay reaches for him, takes his hand.

“You’d ask me to just like that?”

“Most of us like you, Joseph. We’re not super into Agent M, but it’s not like we haven’t noticed you’re not chasing us down as much as you used to. Also, I’d be a really crappy superhero if I didn’t at least try to recruit the smartest man I know to our side.”

Stern blushes more than necessary at the compliment. 

“Okay. I’m in. I’m ready to try being a different kind of good guy.”

“Welcome to the Pine Guard.” Barclay presses the secret hinges on the cuffs, and they drop to the floor. 

A fit of giggles in Sterns throat pours out into the space between them, “Jesus, I didn’t think betraying the government would feel so liberating.”

“Always knew you were a good guy, deep down.”

Another blush has him cursing his capillaries. 

“Heh, you do like it when I call you good.”

“Yes. Though as you observed, I have a weakness for humiliation as well.”

“Y’know, we’ve got a little bit of time still.” Barclay leans back, and Stern perks up when his hands hit his belt.

“And it is our anniversary.” Stern sinks to the floor, covers a few inches on his knees to rests his head on Barclays thigh.

“Shit, you really are a needy little thing.” Barclay shifts and wiggles awkwardly in order to get his close low enough to give Stern the access he needs. Stern nuzzles his inner thigh, skates his hands along muscular legs, making a mental note to discover what they feel like naked and tensing in time with their owners moans. 

“You’re rather, uhm, slick already. Is this where you tell me you got into heroics because you get off on fighting?”

“Nope, just on manhandling you. And you’re in no position to comment, agent.” The growl he puts into that last word has Stern melting forward. Which is helpful, in that Barclay shoves him down the rest of the way. He licks and sucks eagerly at him, moaning messily when Barclay tilts his hips up, pressing and rutting against him. 

“Like I, fuck, said babe, you’ve got no room to feel smuggAH--shit that felt good--amazed I didn’t walk in on you in the lodge bathroom with some dudes dick down your throat while another one fucked that tight ass.”

Stern would like to point out that a) he would never do such a thing in a business he respected and b) there’s only been one dick he’s wanted anywhere near him in months. But he doesn’t dare pull away. Instead he whimpers, shakes his head and takes all of Barclay’s cock into his mouth.

“Hnnnshit, maybe I got it wrong, maybe you, fuck, were one smile away from falling to you knees and begging me to fuck you over the counter.” 

Stern nods emphatically, pawing at any exposed skin he can find on Barclay stomach and hips,  and the larger man laughs.

“Fuck, much as I wanna hold you down and come all over that handsome face, got something else I wanna do even more.” He lets go of Sterns head, nudges him back so he can join him on the floor. 

“Wha-ohshit’ He gasps when Barclay rips the front of his pants off, wrapping one large hand around his cock. But when Stern tries to thrust up into the warm, tight fist, Barclay pins his hips down with one hand. There’s such easy strength in the movements that Stern tilts his head back to rest on the spotless bedspread, because baring his throat feels like the only suitable response. 

Teeth just sharper than they ought to be sink into the base of his neck, but even as he arches and thrashes in response, he can’t get any stimulation on his cock. Coarse coppery hair tickles his skin as Barclay laughs, “Cute how you think that’s enough begging to get what you want.”

“Barclay, please, I, I’ve wanted this for months, it’s all I want, I will do anything.”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought. Poor special agent, so desperate.” Barclay’s tone is cruel as he drags his hand up in one long, slow stroke. Stern eagerly awaits a downstroke that doesn’t come. 

“Well? Gimme one good reason to indulge my pathetic new plaything.”

“I, I, I’ll be good, so good for you, let you do whatever you want, fuck.” The barest movement of Barclays hand and he sobs, “please, I just want to be good, I just want you to use me, god, please just tell me what you want.” 

“Admit you’re a needy fucker who likes the fact the other cameras in this building can probably hear him begging me to-”

“I am, I need you so badly, I need this, I want you so much, I need youOHyes, yes.” He groans happily as Barclay switches to rapid strokes and drags one of Sterns hands between his legs. He keeps his fingers outside for the time being, focuses on circling his thumb and dragging the other digits in tight patterns.

“C’mon handsome, jack me off, show me how much you like your reward oh fuck, fuck, Joseph, that’s it babe, fuck that’s good.” His head drops to mouth at Stern’s neck with a moan as he grinds against Sterns palm, “shit, shoulda asked you out last week like I was planning to, coulda been doing this every night, yeah, ohyeah.” As he comes his grip on Sterns cock tightens, and even as he rides out his orgasm he’s growling, “come on agent, lemme see you ruin those fancy clothes.”

Stern comes with what sounds, to his ears, like a pathetic cry. Yet as soon as he spills onto his stomach and Barclays hand, the larger man kisses his chest, whispering sweetly, “You’re so good, did so good for me baby, you’re amazing.”

With unsure fingers, he brushes a strand of loose hair from Barclays cheek. Barclay looks up, smiling so tenderly Stern worries he’s dreaming. Then Barclay sits up, cupping his chin and drawing him into a gentle kiss, sighing happily when their lips meet. 

“Is it selfish to be happy that you joining the team means I get to see you everyday?”

“Not in the least. Though you see me most days at the coffee shop anyway.”

“Yeah, but now I get to do this” another kiss, somehow twice as tender as the first, “when I do.”

Stern curls into his arms as he continues, “guess we oughta get you a codename now.”

“You know, I’ve actually given that some thought. Given that only some of you drew your names from cryptids or, um, I suppose your true forms, I think there’s room for a codename that reflects my history with secretive government agencies while staying on theme?”

“I think so too.” Barclay smiles expectantly. 

“In that case,” Stern grins back, future brightening ahead of him for the first time in years, “just call me Roswell.”

3x20 Reaction / Commentary

I wonder why, considering it wasn't hard at all. They barely had a plan and even had time to include some personal drama in their fight. Wtf. The only thing I can imagine why no one ever managed to kidnap her before is because no one wanted to have a hostage as irritating as the seelie queen.

Hahahahahaha hilarious. Also, lol, no I'm choosing not to think of the implications because they are TOO DISTURBING, YOU HEAR ME @intezaarlily XD XD XD

HAHAHA I CAN'T THE WAY SHE PETULANTLY SHAKES HER HEAD

I mean, compelling argument. And very fitting since we learned from that Lilith Debacle that the Shadowhunters' go to solution for everything and anything is torture. But what I find way more interesting is that we finally get a good look at the side of the seelie queen's crown.

's pretty.

There's so much to unpack in this scene. Which I'm gonna do, in excruciating detail. In a relationship analysis post thingy, not here, because time and space reasons. Just know that this scene is absolutely amazing, their facial expressions and gestures, and of course the pretzel. Dammit, so amazing. Can't wait to fawn over it all.

I'm with Meliorn on this one. Just because Lanaia committed a violation of the Accords (yes, on behalf of the seelie queen but the shadowhunters have no way of knowing that and I guess Meliorn wasn't stupid enough to tell them that) doesn't mean Clary can violate the Accords back and go unpunished. That's not how a legal system works. It's clear that with this whole operation the shadowhunters valued Clary's life over that of however may seelie guards' it would have taken to keep Jace's cover and get Clary back. I bet you Alec is aware of that and that's why he has that pinched look on his face the whole time. And while he argues pro shadowhunter side with that injection about Lanaia and he tries to placate Meliorn, he noticable doesn't try to justify Jace's actions at all, and whenever Jace does, Alec closes his eyes as if he's thinking “Dude don't you realize that's not an argument.”

And then he just wants to leave???? Hahaha creep

HAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD COMEDIC GOLD. The way he delivers that line I can't!!! The way he says “naturrrrrr” hahaha delicious.

Uh if that's the smartest move? Who knows what kind of kinky shit Meliorn will demand in return?? I mean, just look at his smirk. Also, in case this doesn't get addressed again this is such a ficlet waiting to be written lol.

The way Alec immediately starts almost-crying when someone mentions Magnus pulls on my heartstrings. Fragile darling boy.

I mean, I'm pretty sure Alec carrying the ring around in his pocket was for meta reasons so he could give it to Maryse in their only scene together, but dammmnnn the in universe implications. Ouch.

I'm really going to miss this XD

“My” door??? My ass.

“Alec and I are no longer.”

lsjfkasdjflksdjfsdjflskdjf I CAN'T HAHAHHAAH HIS FACE

Hahahahha please Lorenzo stop, I feel like I shouldn't be laughing so much XD Isn't this episode supposed to be Super Dramatic? I'm actually having the time of my life so far XD

XD XD XD XD XD

Okay and now I'm back to rage because wtf!!!! So Magnus is aware that Lorenzo's jurisdiction is limited and tiny, why didn't he remember that literally anytime before this, for example in 3x10?? Just imagine it, if Magnus had done that fancy ritual thingy he wouldn't have even needed to trade his magic away. Oh right, problem identified. There wouldn't have been some Prime Drama if he'd behaved like a sensible person. Ugh.

The way Lorenzo's face falls upon hearing Asmodeus is priceless. But, uh, important question, how the hell does he know Asmodeus's face? Or does he identify him by his powers? Then again he failed identifying Asmodeus's power signature before already (3x02) so uuhhhh I need answers.

Magnus Bane, finally enjoying the Draco Malfoy Way Of Life. I mean, that's not really rebutting Lorenzo's claim. The opposite, in fact. Also wtf does Lorenzo have for nerves to say that to Asmodeus's face???

So this is not common warlock practice. Thanks for clarifying. Also, look at Asmodeus's smug face when Magnus references Edom hahaha #ProudDad

THE SASS HAHAHA (btw for a moment I was worried he'd turnd him into a plastic lizard until it moved haha)

Also this means, the person Magnus trashes later in the loft with the whips, as seen in the promo, is Asmodeus?? Because he learns of his deal with Alec?? Or tbh, I've been entertaining the thought that it's Alec ahahaha

Also, Asmodues saying “When they hear about what?” has the same energy as Loki saying “I'm listening” in Avengers 1.

Yeah I still have questions about that. But sure, whatever. Then again, if Jordan is so long-fingered he could start a career as pickpocket. Sounds like a stable income job to me.

See, the problem here is that this isn't fixing any of Maia's problems. Apart from the fact that currently she has no problems to fix as far as I'm concerned (the dead pack won't be miraculously resurrected if she becomes human) her issues with her family aren't due to her being a werewolf. She's adjusted to her life as a werewolf and if you ask me, she's grown to love it and she doesn't want to go back. Hell, she wanted to become alpha. She's working on building her own pack now. Someone who hates being a werewolf wouldn't do that. Very obviously, his line of reasoning makes sense for Jordan because he can't forgive himself for turning and abandoning Maia, which he views as ruining her life. So by reversing it he could finally start to atone for what he did. Perfectly ic, but very frustrating because as I pointed out, this won't benefit Maia in any way, it'll just create drama between the two of them. (And frankly, while I moderately care about both of them, I'd rather have Malec on my screen. Sue me.)

Uh-huh, so some werewolf praetor spy with binoculars saw that Jordan stole the vial from the Institute but Izzy and Simon, who were literally in the same room didn't. No questions, your honor. Also ngl, since I knew this scene from the sneak peek already and couldn't care less about Luke's stupid Praetor plotline I skipped this scene XD #sorry not sorry

I know a lot of people were relieved Clary didn't make out with Jonathan and I'm honestly so surprised why people would assume in the first place there was any risk for that. Despite the Evil Rune taking hold she's still aware of her feelings, for example her love for Jace etc. So why would she suddenly be into incest?

Hehehehe the likelyhood of Asmodeus getting trashed in that loft is growing XD (Also please appreciate how I'm keeping my salt about Maryse's “I love you” under wraps, I'm amazed at my self restraint.)

I mean, I was really surprised by a character actually taking action, trying their hand at communication like this. I am impressed. The thing that I slightly dislike is that it's Maryse. She didn't have all the info about the deal Alec made with Asmodeus and a) Izzy had and I really, really expected her to do something about that instead of just letting Alec wreck his life and, to a good part, Magnus's as well, and b) if even Maryse, without even knowing for sure that Magnus's magic returned after Alec broke up with him, could put two and two together, why the hell didn't Magnus??

I can half buy that with his issues and insecurites striking harder than ever, amplyfied by the severe grief of his magic loss, he'd fall for Alec's lies because to him Alec loving him the way he did was too good to be true anyway, and their relationship wasn't long enough for Magnus to really get used to the idea that he gets to keep this. It's obvious in the way he always keeps his eyes closed after they kiss, this moment of disbelieve that this is actually real. So Alec breaking up with him wouldn't be an unreastic thing, it would be reality finally catching up with them, it'd be the universe rightening itself.

But, I only half buy it. Because even if Magnus had doubts about himself and his worth, how the hell could he revisit all those memories in 3x19 where Alec was dropping wedding vows left and right, and not realize that something about Alec was off there. Anyway, dwelling on this is pointless because what's done is done, but it's a very weak explanation and very convenient, story telling wise.

Hahahha love me some common sense. Maia has tons of it. Makes her so likable.

Listen, I like Jordan, but I can't even feel any sympathy in the face of all this stupidity. Just take the frakkin vial yourself, idiot. Humans don't die from silver poisoning. And it's clear that you're struggling with your werewolf-dom to hell and back. This would literally solve all of their problems wtf. But God forbid anyone ever act reasonable on this show. Goddammit.

Hahahha so rude. *Loki Voice* WHO PUT HIM THERE??? Another missing scene ficlet dying to be written XD Also, does Lorenzo still have his consciousness or was his mind reduced to that of a lizard? Will it be restored when he's transformed back? Is that even possible or was that transformation irreversible? Will he remember his time as a lizard? Or is Lorenzo as we know and love to hate him gone forever? So many questions.

Bitch you didn't, you had to be TOLD

I find it amazing that Asmodues tries to argue with Magnus even though his evil plan was uncovered. He really doesn't get it, does he? That Magnus likes his life and doesn't want to be in Edom?

I am reeling. What a frikkin powermove, disposing of him like that, and with his own invention no less. Talk about a dead ass capable character who could trash everyone in his way. Honestly I'm still processing. This is so radical wtf. So I'm never gonna get another scene with Asmodeus?? Please I wanted more of them!! I am so helplessly in love with their dynamic. 5 bucks say he was supposed to come back in S4 I WAS SO DEPRIVED OH GOD!!!!!

Edit: Yeah, this was actually supposed to be a setup for a Dark!Magnus plotline, with Asmodeus playing a big role in S4. They changed that and cut this short, here's the article I got this from. We were so robbed. I can't.

“Hurry, away from this Shadowhunter Nonsense. Honestly, that they can never solve their shit issues in their own fugly ass Institute but have to do it on our beautifully groomed frontyard. The disrespect.”

WOW IZZY'S WEARING FLAT SHOES FOR THE OCCASION CAN YOU BELIEVE IT

Also that fighting is awesome and all (Alec as a tactical advantage, Jace “betraying” his position as a ploy, color me impressed) but doesn't Clary have to stab Jonathan for it to work?? Or is it enough if one of the bondmates is stabbed with the sword?? And since Fake Glorious is super instable etc. and will likely be destroyed in the process they shouldn't take any chances and make sure it really works the first time around.

I get that this is supposed to be dramatic but sorry, I don't buy for one second that 3 Months Shadowhunter Newby Clary manages to get one over Izzy who's been literally trained since birth (yeah that was a quote from Arthur because I'm total Merlin Trash) and she's their best fighter ever and could beat Jace and Alec at the same time with the flick of a wrist while blindfolded. Please. Oh my god. Maybe because she always fights with her whip she's not too used to a sword. Then again she also uses a staff and she still was trained since birth so no, I'm still not buying it.

Hahahahah nice one, Simon.

“That's my plan, you can bet on it, bet on it, bet on it....”

why I mean, this was a conscious choice on producers' part, right. So I'm demanding an explanation. What's the point of this weirdly edited grunt?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hm, they don't fold too nicely. But all in all, pretty solid wing work.

?????? This makes no sense since, prior to this half season, he wasn't tethered to Clary. Wtf. For all intents and purposes, Jonathan should be dropping dead to the ground since he was using Clary's life force to be alive, remember, he was literally killed to death before. Only their bond was keeping him alive. This makes no sense whatsoever. But anyway, that was a pretty impressive departure.

Yeah, how about you get the f outta there now, Simon.

H-e-a-l-i-n-g  r-u-n-e. Honestly. Wtf.

Also, Izzy pushing Simon to the ground was a little stupid, he could have vampire-run out of the explosion's perimeter easily. If he had a few brain cells. Okay, problem identified, I take everything back, Izzy made the right call.

And I guess Alec's just chilling over there on the forrest ground. He deserves that break, man.

Just force it down Jordan's throat omg. If he still dies, whatever, good for him, he got what he wanted. If not then he can maybe start facing his Maia-shaped issues in a constructive way.

Maia giving it to Luke makes no sense. How the f does he want to “get rid of it” wtf. If I were Maia I'd just pour it in the river or idk, burry it somewhere. Lock it in a safe, throw away the key. Or better yet, keep an eye on it. But sure, Luke who just learned the Praetor are full of shit is gonna give it to them?? I mean, the thought must have crossed his mind that maybe they didn't heal Jordan as a punishment for failing that Heidi mission? Since apparently it's common werewolf knowledge that the Praetor is able to cure a silver poisoning? Jordan wouldn't have said that if they didn't have a cure for it, right? If Luke honestly gives them that vial, he'll be dead to me. I fully expect him to try and blackmail the Praetor with it or something, but if he doesn't istg.

You're on thin effing ice, man.

Aahhhhh yeah how very convenient. Also rude, they stole Jonathan's home :C Also technically she shouldn't be able to do that because it's demon travel and she no longer has a connection to demon blood.

Yeah and they also steamrolled whatever room was there before they parked that big ass apartment there. Congrats.

“You barely got your licence to drive a car, much less whatever that was.”

hahahaha

ALEC'S FACE HAHAHAHAHA I LOVE ONE 100% DONE MAN

Hell yeah logic!! But lol I genuinely don't think Jace or Simon thought of that when they were unhelpfully patting her back.

.........? How is Simon there then? This isn't even sarcasm, I genuinely don't get it.

This was cute and all, but she didn't actually activate her iratze wtf. Or wash off her blood.

Dude wtf Maia

I mean come on, this is so obvious to top off their drama.

Yep, I called it. Seriously, you don't leave a person on the brink of death alone for literally this reason. And before you tell me she was just getting some food to lighten the mood from her way back from the bridge, there was still tons of daylight then and this is at least several hours later. I am sorry, but I feel zero sympathy.

1) Where do those surviving werewolves besides Bat come from? 2) What does mundane police have to say about this public cremation? 3) I remember this shot of Maia walking away from the fire from the 3B Trailer. So rude.

ALSO I'M MORE THAN READY FOR SOME MALEC CONTENT WTF MAN

NO. NO I DO NOT BUY. EITHER THE WINGS ARE STILL THERE OR HIS JACKET IS RIPPED TO PIECES BUT YOU DON'T GET TO PRETEND THEY MAGICALLY APPEAR ON TOP OF HIS CLOTHES WTF He's not Miley Cyrus from that one music video. (Can't be Tamed, if you're wondering.)

0 bucks say he caught them making out, honestly this was so obvious.

This rang deep. Really great moment. I can't really put it into words, but this had such an impact. A real warrior feel to it. Amazing.

“No obviously we don't but c'mon, work with me here.”

I can't possibly put into words the love I'm feeling for one (1) extra warlock.

He finally got it. My poor murderous incest baby. Too bad this means Clary lost her only bargaining chip.

NOOOO IT'S NOT, YOU WERE RAISED BY VAL IN A HUT AND THEN LIVED AT THE NY INSTITUE, THE ONLY TIME YOU VISITED ALICANTE WAS OWL'ED OUT OF YOUR MIND TO KILL IMOGEN WHAT THE HELL HAHAHA

I love how he delivers this line. It's his goodbye because there's no making it out of there alive, and the last thing of importance he has to say is a love confession to Clary. Very nice delivery.

ahahahahah okay this was a nice echoing of Jace's other love confession, but all I could focus on was how frakkin red Clary's hand is hahaha

I love everything about this, okay. I love how Alec just gives in because he couldn't stand to be apart from Magnus for one more second. I love how this is reminiscent of their first kiss at Alec's fail wedding. (Btw can you believe we're gonna start and end Malec with a kiss at a wedding and a wedding kiss? The poetry.) I love the backdrop, the absolute destruction. Love Izzy in her rightful place in the first row since she's the Captain of the MS Malec.

I really appreciate that they bothered with an explanation why Magnus needs to go to Edom at all, but, uh, if memory serves right he closed a rift to Edom in 2x19 and it was no big deal. I'd buy that this rift is larger or more powerful because it was created by the Morgenstern Sword but just because I can find an explanation that this task is harder than one Magnus already accomplished onscreen with relative ease doesn't mean it's not the Show’s duty to deliver an explanation of its own accord instead of letting fans pick through their worldbuilding and figuring out something that makes sense. A simple “You closed rifts before, from Earth.” - “This rift is too large” would have been enough. Is that too much to ask.

GOD MAGNUS WHY THAT WORDING I HAD TO THINK OF LORENZO WTF MAN WHY YOU MAKE ME THINK OF LORENZO WHHHYYYYYYYY

When he lifted his hand in that slow deliberate move I was SO SURE HE'D BE WEARING THE LIGHWOOD RING HAHAHA

HAHAHA THAT WAS CLEARLY NOT THE FUGLY LIGHTWOOD FAMILY RING (since that has a square shape on top, come on) YES I STAN A FASHION ICON

Btw there's a description in those rings, I can't really tell, but the one on the right looks like a loopy A upside down so I'm guessing one has “Alexander” and the other “Magnus” on the inside????

Edit: Both rings say “Aku cinta kamu” and I am DEAD

Hahahaha Alec wanted to win the proposal but this round goes to Magnus. But tbh he totally cheated XD XD XD

Ngl, the ring catching on Magnus's knuckle for a moment reminded me of the wedding of Kate and William ahahahaa I'm trash XD

Can you believe Malec got cheated out of their first engaged kiss by some rude ass explosion? Unfair.

I find myself genuinely confused by this. Why does Alec even entertain the thought of not going with Magnus? It seems so illogical that they'd seperate now. Later reason kicked in, and yeah, Edom probably isn't the best place for a shadowhunter but this is exactly it: Alec's instinct should have been to go with Magnus and I wish they'd taken the time to address this in any way, to give Alec the chance to express his wish to go with Magnus.

WTF WHY DOES MAGNUS SHAKE HIS HEAD THIS IS NOT OKAY WTF

But then he jokes about runaway grooms anyway because he thinks he’ll never see Alec again and he wants Alec to remember him joking & smiling & happy *cries* I’M SAD. why did I bring that up.

Thanks, @intezaarlily for making tHIS EVEN WORSE WTF

OH MY GOD I CAN'T I'M LAUGHING SO HARD THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS HAHAHAHA Magnus REALLY should have pulled the portal down on himself and not flown into it like a flying fish jumping out of the water wtf hahaha. Then again this is proof he can totally do the superman flight and it is CANON that he did that at some point. He had a whole annoying phase where he'd just fly around like a super hero. Cat was so done with it. Ragnor refused to be around him at all. Good times.

Anyway, another thing I need an explanation for is why it'll be so hard for Magnus to return to Earth. In 3x10 that posed No Problem, meaning one of two things. Either a) Asmodeus sent him back or b) he could easily travel back because he used that pentagram thingy. Honestly, the fact that Jonathan just as easily returns to Earth after his failed attempt on Lilith's life lets me favor b), which begs the question why Magnus used a regular portal instead of the pentagram thingy now. But even if a) is the case then that means Greater Demons apparently have no problem removing people from Edom and then I wonder if Magnus will have to beg Azazel or something to return him home lol, like a little kiddie asking for a lift. Or maybe, since he channelled his epic Edom!Power, maybe he can send himself back?? In any case I want some solid explanation on that.

Alec just collapsing made so much sense okay. I could feel the emptiness in my own chest, having gained and lost everything in a few short minutes, I can't even imagine how crushed Alec must be feeling.

Magnus's magic closing the rift is so epic in an incredibly emotional and intimate sense. Seeing his magic, part of him, when he's so far beyond all of their reach. It's incredible, it's touching and powerful and so so fragile. I'm amazed.

I can't believe they did this. I can't believe they put the literally last shot of this in the 3B Trailer. The audacity.

Okay but really important question, who's gonna feed Lorenzo now??? (God only one week left I am dead.)

February 5: Thoughts on The 100 2x03 Reapercussions

I am very tired and I should sleep but instead I’m going to bring my The 100 rewatch project out of hiatus yet again with Episode 2x03: Reapercussions.

I miss Anya so much!!!!! This is mostly my Dichen Lachman obsession showing but also the way she gives Clarke that ‘yeah, whatever’ look when Clarke says she’ll get her out of the cage... your Grounder fave could never.

The show honestly peaked with S2 and after this it should have abandoned all attempts at edginess because nothing will ever be more Pure Nightmare Fuel than the Mount Weather Grounder Cages.

Clarke/Anya: the ship that almost was.

So when Clarke takes Anya out of the prison room, she opens a door that says “End Containment Area” and underneath that it says “U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Mount Weather Containment Protocol.” And people really thought JRoth made this up omg learn some history.

Considering how they left things (Anya literally trying to kill her and all her friends) it’s actually pretty impressively selfless and magnanimous on Clarke’s part to not just rescue her, but immediately and unthinkably rescue her. On the other hand, Anya feels some remorse for leaving her people whereas Clarke’s like ‘here are some clothes [even though those random bandages are holding up pretty well??], let’s get a move on!’ (I know she intended to come back for them and she was being smart and practical but from the pov of, say, Jasper or Monty, this is cold as hell of her.)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: early S2 Clarke is Peak Clarke: smart, sly, practical, brave.

Byrne mentions Earth Skills teacher “Davis” as being part of the search team for Bell et. al. My question: how many Earth Skills teachers did they have lol?

I fucking love this crashed-ship aesthetic omg I forget how much I love it and then I see it again....

“On the Ark, you did anything you wanted, without a second thought about the consequences.” Like mother, like daughter.

I ALSO miss Jasper and Maya. I’m probably like the lone person out there who still remembers them fondly but they were basically perfect because they were sweet but with the potential for a lot of darkness as well, my favorite combination.

WHERE’S MY ART SCHOOL JAYA AU?

So actually fun fact, that isn’t how the art work would have been stored in Mount Weather. They had special containers for the paintings to protect them and like a special cart thing to transport them quickly from their old homes to the bunker I read a book.

No one ever characterizes him this way sufficiently imo but Monty is really quite uptight in a way. Like first: don’t cockblock him man. And second: just chilll. This is probably why he used to smoke weed.

“Trouble? It’s Clarke. Whatever she’s up to, I’m sure she can handle it.” I mean.... he’s not wrong.

Except for the part where she’s covered in dead bodies. But even then...

So I always felt like the main point of the Reapers was as kind of a zombie police force for Mount Weather: to keep the Grounders scared of the Mountain, so they won’t poke around in it too much. Though of course they also collect Grounders, which is helpful, since the Mountain Men can’t walk that far from their home base (and, as stated, they probably want to keep most of that area Grounder-free anyway). But it occurs to me now that a third use of the Reapers is like dead-body collectors? The Mountain dumps the dead bodies out the trap door, and the Reapers take them away and eat them. So gross and efficient all at once. Mount Weather’s motto basically.

Murphy and his creating-a-distraction stones are still one of the funniest jokes this show has ever pulled, though if it were a quicker reveal after “something like that” it would be funnier.

Never mind, Bellamy appearing out of the bush is true underrated comedy gold,

That said, I feel like everything outside of the Mount Weather and Clarke stories here is filler.

Love! That! Ship!

Major Byrne says that Kane is on the verge of losing control of the camp but... I dunno.... everyone seems to be working together pretty well? Maybe if they had diversified the cast a little, not in terms of yet more Grounders but, like, non-leaders of the Ark, that would be more clear????

Okay, well, admittedly, when the Grounder prisoner is brought in they do start a mini-mob, lol. Also one of the delinquent’s fathers is shot, it would be cool if we knew who he was?? ETA: and then he dies and Abby’s like “does he have any family?” lol he just said that his son was one of the 100 so like obviously he does??

The costuming people, like the set people, really are the geniuses of this show. I love Clarke and Anya’s outfits, and Clarke’s hair somehow being both grungy and beautiful like THAT’s the apocalypse style I wanna see.

Also they absolutely 100% would have gotten together in the S2-S3 hiatus if Anya hadn’t been killed off.

“You saved my life because you needed me” IS true but she also did it absolutely without hesitation, even knowing Anya really quite truly hates her, so this speaks either to some foolhardy bravery mixed in with her practical thoughts, or just straight compassion, or both. I guess that sort of is a Clarke thing. She can be a grudge holder (seriously don’t tell me she isn’t: Wells????) but her grudges are NEVER more important than hard-nosed practical problem-solving.

Time for some gratuitous torture. Honestly, I like Season 2, it’s probably my favorite season, but it has some MAJOR filler problems. Like when it’s good it’s THE BEST but then other times it just doesn’t know how to fill 40 minutes so it resorts to pointless diversions (like Bellamy rappelling down the side of a mountain to save a character who is literally never seen again? for some reason?) or just straight out ugly violence for screaming’s sake (Raven’s surgery, Raven’s Grounder torture, Abby’s shocklashing, etc.) Like honestly I can’t even watch this. I’m just gonna browse tumblr until it’s done.

The Arkers really like the concept of “confessing” don’t they?

Like okay I’m not done WHAT IS THE POINT of this? It all but kills the whole Kabby vibe (I still lowkey ship them but sometimes I think...why?), it’s truly painful to watch, and it has no plot purpose AT ALL not even world-building because, lol, we know the writers don’t care to flesh out Camp Jaha in any real way.

Murphy is taking such sad glee out of instigating Finn’s madness/violence. The Luci of The 100 for sure.

This Bellamy story line is boring though I’m sorry. Some of these scenes (the Clarke or Mount Weather ones) I could watch a million times but this is like... kay, I know what happens already. So.

“There are some lines you can’t uncross.” I mean I think this show has actually shown that’s pretty untrue since people get over almost everything pretty fast. There’s always another horrific thing to do and/or experience!

Yeah my bitterness is seeping in.

Anyway when you come into an interrogation knowing what the “right” answer is, you’ll never learn anything, take note, stupid teenager boys + U.S. law enforcement.

Like honestly this Grounder is 500000x smarter than they are. He saves himself and rains gunfire and destruction upon his enemies. (Well, saves himself for a few minutes--but at least he got to cause harm to those he hates!)

“You thought I was the crazy one, huh?” Was Murphy ever crazy, though, or was he just coldly vengeful?

Speaking of coldly vengeful, Byrne could have been a potentially interesting character? Maybe? I’m not really into the type but as I said I want more Arkers wherever I can find them. And Kane needs real opposition. I have sympathy for him to a degree, but I also think he ultimately weakens rather than strengthens himself.

I love when Monty calls bullshit on stuff. “I can’t see Clarke? Try and fucking stop me, bitches.”

Jasper has such a big heart. Truly the emotional core of this friendship.

I like how Kane speaks as if his “diplomatic mission” of adults is so vastly different than Bellamy and Finn just going off on their own I mean, Byrne is little better than Finn? They’re both easily frustrated and fond of torture? It’s just that Byrne understands a chain of command--barely--that’s literally it.

How does it make literally any sense at all to shocklash a person one hour and make her the Chancellor the next? Like you’ve just encouraged the populace to think of her as nothing special, not above the embarrassing public application of extreme pain--but yes by all means expect them to fall into line behind her leadership. I mean I guess this sort of works if she was already somehow beloved (I guess I’m supposed to just believe that?) and now more sympathy has been generated for her--but such sympathy would seem to come at the expense of Kane. It would seem to be the opposite of what he, or really Byrne, was going for with that disgusting display. But whatever memory is a fiction I guess.

And they have this swelling-music romantic eye-fuck goodbye like??? He was just beating you!! JUST NOW!

What I’m getting out of Murphy advocating for killing the Grounder: first, he has a clear, cold, practicality not unlike Clarke, and two, he still thinks of the delinquents as his friends--how sweet. Two days ago he was killing them, holding them hostage, and stealing their ammo before a huge battle but still. Bygones.

This is not a great ep. for Bellamy leadership lol.

Finn executes a man, while wearing Clarke’s watch, in the place they had sex. Seems...symbolic?? IDK it’s late lol.

I miss Nyko a lot but also now that I’ve seen (part of) Slasher I’m not entirely sure I can ever see Ty Olsson in the same light.

Wouldn’t it be funny if they were literal brothers? Because I always assumed this was metaphorical but...was it? WAS IT?

Weird note to end on, I know. If patterns hold, it’ll be another 2-3 months before I do this again but I’ll try to be a little more on the ball about it.
