Hello! Good evening!

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Mithrun and I had a small scenario pop up in my head, and it would be lovely to see your vision on how this would play out, please and thank you 💕:

AFAB!Elf!reader is a member of the canaries, very soft spoken and rather kind. The nicest, most likely. Against her better judgement she’s down bad for the captain and everyone else is like “pls no I’d rather you not”. (She can fix him/jk)

Mithrun realizes she has feelings for him and in a very subtle way treats her a little more gentle than the others. Lets her spoil him a tiny bit more. Listens to her a bit more.

Reader can only hope one day maybe…just maybe…the captain can show a little interest in her too 🥺 and is oblivious that he lets her get away with a little more than others

Just very soft feelings all over

I won't spoil it for those who haven't read the manga, but there are instances where we see Mithrun treat Kabru rather favorably and opening up in great detail about his past. In a side story, we also see that younger Mithrun cared for the other canaries quite a bit. I imagine that even without his desires, Mithrun would appreciate care shown to him in his own Mithrun-y way.

SFW

Mithrun might be adverse to you at first, because when he really looks inward you remind him of his younger self.

However, Mithrun would soon come to see that you don't have the same...pitfalls in your personality that brought him where he is today. He might even come to somewhat admire your ability to stay genuinely kind in a world like theirs.

The other canaries start to notice that you have a much easier time getting their leader to take an ounce of care in his own well-being than any of them ever have. Some of them think it's entertaining while others (Pattadol) think the favoritism is unnacceptable.

Cithis might tease him about it if you aren't around, "We don't want to worry poor [y/n] by getting all dehydrated now, do we captain?"

Even the mention of your name is enough to motivate Mithrun, though you remain completely unaware. In your mind, the captain regards you as nothing more than a subordinate.

You don't notice the way his good eye trains on you as you talk about life before the canaries. You don't realize how fast he falls asleep when you're near. The magnitude of the fact that one night he voluntarily tells you a story about when he and his brother were children slips by you completely.

Pattadol is the only one to ever bring it up to you directly, and you truly have no idea what she's talking about. None of the others help her either, preferring to sit back and watch how her face reddens with frustration.

Mithrun isn't oblivious to the situation, however. He knows that there's something about you that...calms him, at the very least. He's sharp enough to know that you feel the same way about him, perhaps even stronger.

He likes having you around. It's not something he wants when you're gone, but it's something he enjoys while you're there. Because he knows you have some type of feelings for him, he indulges you at every turn. He even lets you wash his back and massage the scarred tissue built at the tips of his ears- though you're terribly relieved he can't see the heat rising on your cheeks as you do so.

One day, long long after the dungeoneering is done, perhaps you might even be able to help Mithrun find his desires, find himself again.

It is so fucking funny to me that the two people who ended up together probably had THEE BIGGEST crushes on FL in the beginning

(Masc!) Doc design hehe. His name is Lee

He’s on his 40’s and probably one of my oldest listener ocs out there hehe.

He’s not only a very tired boi but he’s also a single foster father— and who’s he fathering—?

Kyle (my freelancer) tee hee , he raised kyle by his own after their magic manifested. He had to not only father him but also be a teacher to him.

Younger Doc was a different breed— he used to be in his rebellious zone during his senior years (this was when his magic also started to manifest) but regardless, he was still a sweetheart.

Academically smart he is but lacks common sense.

SAIKI YOURE A SUCKER FOR ROMANCE GENRE I JUST KNOWWWWW wdym "dont you know if u want the girl, u have to win their friends first?" (Mixer episode)

HOW'D YOU FIGURE IT OUT IF NOT FROM THE KDRAMA YOU WATCHED AFTER SCHOOL HUH???

"hm? What happened to the girl after the boy confessed to her?" (Library episode) (this is not his direct dialog i just concluded his long ass denial thoughts)

YOURE SO INVESTED IN ROMANCE THAN THE MYSTERY BOOK ITSELF???

And he said he doesn't appeal to romance. At the very least, you find it entertaining;)

Damien: Some people are like slinkies. FL: Explain. Damien: Not really good for much but makes you crack a smile when you push it down the stairs. FL: Fl: Please don’t push Gavin down the stairs. Damien: You can’t stop me.

fool!Milo canonically has scoliosis. send tweet

January being a former dean of Benthic is a fun factoid to me for many reasons, but in particular it is of note that Benthic was University College irl, which was founded on 'radical' ideas, and was supposedly the first in England to admit students regardless of their religion. This of course being noteworthy given January is canonically jewish

I wonder how strong Jan's link to the uni was in the past, when exactly she arrived in London... she's an older woman, so was she around during the fall?

Diavolo: You could've been killed! Does nothing scare you!?

MC: I'm from Florida

Diavolo: What does that even mean?

[Barbatos whispers to Diavolo]

Diavolo: Mhm...uh huh...ok...I see...

Diavolo: Forgive me for questioning your strength

FL and Hux being smoking buddies.

Hux: dude so like, yk when some food hits so bad you wish you could fuck it? Would that be like happiness or would gav feed off that.

FL: wait. If feeding is food, and gav feeds on sexual energy, is that what gav thinks every time he feeds?

Hux: dude I think we made a breakthrough

FL: dude same

[thegreatyin]

and with that, evolution is complete.

i do think the scoundrel made the right choice, in the end. maybe- potentially- they think so too.

[mrsmiagreer]

I wonder if FL was ever worried that Gavin might cheat on them when they first started dating

[ryoko-san]

[Masc! Freelancer]
