[arn359]

Finally get to draw FA for my fav fic

FA for House next door by @battlemaiden13 on AO3

Based on chapter 168

After seeing MC’s outfit i lost my mind. If you skeletons don’t make any move i’m about to do it myself! (wanna draw MC more sexy but i gotta keep my cool) Also i love Swap-Paps gang so muchhhh arggghh

[erineas]

Little thing I rushed after reaching Musket's chapter (HE GOT ME GUYS, EVERYTIME HE APPEARS HE MAKES ME SQUEAL, WHY HE SO--)

I still want to do like two scenes more of him and one with Red but I just finished this and got too excited to wait until I finish them all so there you go hehe

So, @battlemaiden13 , again I don't remember if I got another Papyrus face scar wrong or not, would you mind reminding me, pretty please? 👉👈

[battlemaiden13]

Since HND part two have been going on for a little while now. I am curious on the HND skeletons relationship wise with reader as it's been a little while since it was last asked about. The latest update to this being at chapter 135. How do they feel about the MC romantically and such up to the most recent chapter 171?

HND Feelings chapter 172 since I just posted that one XD

Sans -His crush is still going strong but he also still has no idea what he should be doing about it. He’s not great when it comes to these sorts of feelings and they always leave him feeling sick with nerves. When you came back into the skeletons' lives he realized just how strong his feelings were and seeing Papyrus also be in love with you was killing him, that was until the two of them talked. He still feels horrible about ruining your date by confessing to his brother but he doesn’t want to push down his feelings for you anymore either. 

Papyrus -So his brother threw a bit of a wrench in the works and being apart from you for so long made him feel odd about just asking you out right away as more than a friend but he still plans to. He still needs to find the perfect moment though and he now wants to make sure he doesn’t hurt his brother's feelings in the process. It’s a very complicated thing but he is working up a plan. 

Red -So he doesn’t think you hate him anymore but he is still convinced that he's not good enough for you. He ended his casual thing with Casey over guilt and he couldn’t bang someone else knowing the love of his life is right there. He’d seriously do anything for you but has convinced himself that you would never like him as anything more than a friend. 

Edge -He actually feels much better about himself and feels ready to ask you out, if only he could find the words and a way to do it without dusting his brother by accident (From breaking Red’s heart accidentally). Seeing you again and you being so excited about him made him feel like all of his hard work payed off. He’s still unsure about whether or not he could actually protect you but he wants to be with you. You just make him feel safe and seen. 

Blue -He’s working on it. Honestly the Interview boosted his ego on this a lot. If people thought you were dating already perhaps that idea could begin to sprout in your head. He already knows you're attracted to him but he doesn’t want just attraction. He wants love. So he’s being patient and building that up first.

Orange -Has it bad. He gets so jealous over every interaction you have with the others it’s driving him insane but he feels like you wouldn’t date him if he asked. He feels as if he has been nothing but bad luck to you and that he always ruins or makes things worse. This of course won’t stop him from getting jealous when you flirt or mention being interested in someone else. Like Kal. He hates Kal for no other reason than he thinks you were going to sleep with him 

Berry -Still in love with you and very much working up the nerve to kiss you and propose a poly relationship where he can share you with his brother. He has been working a lot since you came back into the skeletons' lives so he’s missed seeing you but his feelings for you haven’t changed in the slightest. 

Syrup - If he hadn't of made that deal with his brother he would have asked you out the moment that you admitted that you loved him. He still can’t think straight whenever your around and knows he’s going to go back to making an absolute fool of himself if you spend time together. If it wasn’t for Charm telling him he’s an idiot and that he would scare you away he would be in full stalking mode. 

Axe -Still doesn’t remember your real name but he knows he likes you. He can’t say how much he likes he just knows it’s strong. He can’t remember the last time he felt so strongly about anyone. He wants to protect you and keep you safe. The others have noticed Axe will often ask about you even if he hasn’t seen you in weeks proving just how much you are on his ever slipping mind 

Crooks -He still has a crush on you and still doesn’t have a name for it. If asked he says that he likes you a lot and will gush about you but he believes this is just a strong admiration. He doesn’t understand why he feels bad hearing your hanging out with other people or why when you tell him he’s hot it’s the first time in a long time he actually believes you. Even if he can’t name his feelings as a crush he knows he wants to be around you as much as he can. 

Error -Is still trying his hardest not to fall in love with you. And he doesn’t. You're annoying and an earworm. His only saving grace really is that you were hardly around but now your back and he finds himself wanting to see you and also wanting to stay as far away from you at the same time. When he heard about your trip to the hospital it really got to him and now he keeps checking in on you which is just pissing him off. He’s probably going to be annoyed the next time he sees you purely because of the happy feeling that will spread through his chest when he does. 

Ink -He still is conflicted about you. He doesn’t feel a rush of love or anything for you but he is still very curious. Surely there is more to you than what you are showing him. More than anything he misses the version of you he knew. He was probably one of the only skeletons unaffected by your absence and sudden return into the skeletons' lives. 

Nightmare -Still in love with you and still is trying to not get involved. He doesn’t want you to get hurt, he couldn’t do that again. After checking in on you at the house and seeing your face again it’s all he could think about. He wants to spend more time with you but his scared. What if you aren’t what he thinks? What if you get hurt again? Or what if he loves you more than he did when you were his sacrifice? 

Dream -Still likes you and has no idea what to do about it. As such he's in a sort of waiting period where he won’t do anything, not even seek out your company but whenever you are around he gets all giddy and happiness floods over him. He has never actually acted on his own feelings before in the ways of love so he’s not even sure what his supposed to do. 

Killer -Fuck he missed you. He didn’t realize how much he missed you until he saw your face, until you snapped him out of spiral with a simple touch and how you had grounded him so easily. Killer also knows as much as you ground him you also make him insane. He wants to be near you but couldn’t bear the thought of you getting hurt. Whatever he chooses though doesn’t stop the fact that he is very much in love with you. 

Daydream -He thought he would be ok. He thought he could just be friends with you but after that kiss the memories of his wife flooded back. He is still madly in love with you but being near you hurts too. He knows he could get you to fall in love with him again but feels greedy for wanting that. He is going to avoid you as much as he can until he can get his thoughts straight. 

Mint -Still hates you purely based on the fact that you are a human although there is something itching at him. You don’t disgust him as much as some other humans in fact he finds himself being comfortably numb in your presents. He’s always numb but you seem to make him falter and he’s not sure how to act near you. 

Mango -He might have a small crush. He hardly knows it's there though he’s just happy to have another human friend. He’s so excited that you seem to want to talk to him more that he’s going to send you a million messages and then get embarrassed that he sent you that many. His crush will only get bigger the more the two of you talk and the nicer you are to him.  

Roulette -He is no longer concerned for your safety, well, he is to a point but he’s no longer concerned about you getting involved in his job. It's obvious you can take care of yourself but he still thinks you should avoid getting dragged into their family business as much as possible. His crush has grown the more he spends time with you and he’d be happy to date you but would actually feel more comfortable if you were dating some others as well. That way there's more people looking out for you and you wouldn’t be lonely when he’s away at work. 

Sniper -He’s completely and utterly embarrassed. He now knows he loves you, he wasn’t sure until he tried to apologize to you at dinner again and you shot him down but even though he knows you can take care of yourself now he still doesn’t want you to have to put yourself on the line and if you were dating he knows you’d have a strange obligation to do so. He’s trying to come to terms with the fact that the two of you won’t ever be together but it’s hard to get over someone you are madly in love with. 

Colt - Next time he sees you he is going to ask you out. The only thing that will stop him is if any of the others get in the way but he’s made up his mind. He was in love with you long before he knew it was you and ever since meeting you that love has only grown stronger ever since meeting the skulls. Seeing you in action just gave him the push he needed. He wants to be with you. 

Musket -You telling him off for saying he needs to be stronger for you really made him fall harder, which he didn’t think was possible. He likes that you told him how you felt about the gang and actually enjoyed being a part of it part time. He wants to ask you out too but is planning his moves very carefully. 

Carbine -Is still convinced himself that this is just a little crush and nothing more. You are literally the only being who can make him put his work down but that doesn’t mean you're special or anything. Of course if you asked him out he’d say yes but you have so many skeletons to choose from he is doubtful that you would even pick him. 

Rifle -Fuck he has it hard for you. He will still go out of his way to listen in to any conversation that might be about you and will full on fanboy about you when he has a moment. He snuck away from work to visit you in the city and even almost got a kiss. Now the two of you are planning a beach trip. Even if it won’t happen for a while he’s excited to spend time with you. He won’t ask you out though, convinced you’ll say no and just see him as a friend. 

Lust -He’s interested to say the least. He thinks you're very attractive and would like to do many things to you but there are moments when his attraction feels like more. He’s not reading too much into it though. Love doesn’t really exist after all and even if it did he would be far to horny for a single partner. He would very much like to kiss you. 

Charm -Is still very attracted to you physically. Personality wise he thinks your lovely and he can see why the others hold you in such a high regard. He would still love to explore that physical attraction but with Syrup being his best friend it feels wrong to ask so he’s content to stay on the sideline and help his friend make better decisions to win you over. 

Wine -So that kiss may have fucked him over. He wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was nor turn him on as much to put you in your place. He wouldn’t call it love or anything though. Just an attraction that he would very much like to see more of. He’s more shocked at how fast you have gained his attention more than anything else. No one has been able to catch his eye as quickly or efficiently. That slap you gave him must have knocked out some brain cells. 

Coffee -He was in love the moment he laid eyes on you. He never really believed in love at first sight until then. Because of this he also had no idea how he was supposed to act around you. What is he supposed to do with his hands? He gets so embarrassed around you he just doesn’t know how to act. He’s never been in love like this before

Black -He’s so very annoyed that he likes you. Mainly because he hates you at the same time. He’s also very much still convinced you hate him. Sure you called him a friend but the two of you argue so much that there’s no way you actually like him as anything more than an annoyance, which is making him even madder about his feelings. After all you never actually said you didn’t hate him, you were clearly putting on some sort of act for the other monsters. 

Mutt -He liked you from the moment on the train. Now he’s just trying not to make a complete ass of himself. Him and Coffee often talk together about you as neither know what the fuck to do. Mutt may come across like he has a lot of experience in dating but he has very little. Either way he fell quickly for the human and now he’s stuck with these feelings. 

Vi -There might be something there but he hasn’t registered it yet. Sure he panicked when he saw you having a panic attack and his soul feels lighter when he sees he’s scheduled to work with you for the day but that’s purely just because your nice and nothing more. Probably. 

Money -He likes teasing you and thinks you're cute with how obvious your crush for him is. He doesn’t have feelings beyond friend for you though and is convinced he won’t develop any more as it’d be too much work with the amount of other skeletons trying to get with you.

eating up @/battlemaiden13's fic "House next door", like i'm actually gonna eat it all with nothing left.

[harpy-lion]

House Next Door Comic!

Been working on this for what feels like forever! But HND is one of my favorite stories and I've been dying to do a comic of a scene! This is also how I see the MC/Reader in the story, I hope I did both justice. 😅 Either way I had so much fun drawing this! 😁 This fic is by @battlemaiden13 I'd also recommend checking them out!

[vinegarfiend]

@battlemaiden13 heard you were accepting NSFW fanart and lucky for me that’s the one thing I CAN draw. This is the scene in chapter 127 that made me realize I had a thing for tentacles

[fanichus]

FANfic

I'm sorry @battlemaiden13 but I have to write this. A love relationship for Demian (the best brother for me at least), I really like the idea that he is in love with his best childhood friend and they end up meeting again and being more than friends, maybe something like this? (I'm not good at writing I know but I wanted to try)

Today would be a good day, you finally return to the place where you grew up hoping to see all the people you have always loved

It is very nice to see how the place changed and at the same time not, you remember all the times you played with your brothers in front of the house and with your friends, that reminds you (takes out the phone)

****message for Devil****

Me: Good morning bff I'm here

Devil: And this is?

Me: jajajaja How funny, are you coming to see me?

Devil: No? seriously who is this?

Is this some kind of joke or my best friend doesn't really remember me?, Naha he's just playing as always

Me: Ok, Devil you got me and this isn't fun

Devil: Really cause I can almost swear you believed me Angel

(I rolled my eyes and smiled at that old nickname of his)

Me: don't blame me With your work how will I know?

Me: But that doesn't matter, are you coming or not?

Devil:No Angel I'm not going

Devil: I'm busy at work

Me: ok uwu, see you later

Should I unpack or do something to annoy him?, Why not the second one, I don't think he'll really get mad, ok that sounds like a joke but worth trying.

And I did that, I drove to his work but when I was in front of him, I saw a handsome man talking with a skeleton that was a bit intimidating, the man was also a bit intimidating but his sleeve tattoos make it sexy for me and his smile...no remember your here for your friend not a hot guy, just go in and ask for him, stop seeing them.

And just like that they disappear, ok one less problem And now how do I ask about him? I know he is the owner but should I just say I want to see Demian L/n and go inside?Or could I say that I have an appointment with him?

*HUMAN?... HUMAN COULD YOU STEP ASIDE I NEED TO GO INSIDE*

the one that's talking is a skeleton... a... tall skeleton in a beautiful tailored suit, that looks amazing on him I guess made locally because of the fabric, and wow he looks like he knows how to take care of it. *Mmmm?...oh sorry I didn't realize I was on your way*

*DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT HUMAN BUT I HAVE TO SEE MY BOSS OTHERWISE HE WILL GET ANGRY*

*By any chance your boss will not be Demian... I mean Mr. L/n?

*YES, WHY?*

*Good my name is Elizabeth and I'm an old friend of him, I just arrived from a trip and want to see him* I was smiling and kind of praying to my self that he help, but he just stared at me.

*IS THIS SOME KIND OF LIE, HUMAN? BECAUSE LYING IS BAD IN CASE YOU DID NOT KNOW*

*What no I'm...look I just want to say hi en person he's mi best friend since we were 10 years old*

*AND WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO INSIDE*

*Because they won't believe me, you didn't believe me, why would they do it?*

*YOU COULD JUST SAY THAT YOU COME TO TALK TO HIM OR FOR THEM TO MENTION THAT HE HAS A VISITOR SO YOU CAN SEE HIM, YOU DON'T NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH*

I haven't think about it, he's right I should just say that, I slap face cause of my silly idea

*You know you're right thank you...?

*NAME'S SNIPER HUMAN*

*Well thank you very much sniper*

And he went inside, after thinking about a few things for a while, I decided to do it because I look very suspicious just standing at the entrance.

Walking in note the design of the building is very modern and stylish it really feels like a very interesting place to work, that and the fact that monster and humans coexist in harmony feels good for them, I still don't understand why they are so rejected in various jobs, That reminds me that I have to hire staff and I wonder if I can get a monster to apply for the job. While I was immersed in my thoughts, I did not realize that I was already in front of the receptionist, who was a very cute bunny and I really wanted to caress her ears, they looked soft

*Good morning how can I help you?

*I... I come to visit Demian L/n, could you ask him to come down please?* (god why am I so nervous?)

She smiled at me and said she would call right away.

But he never came down so i just left, they told me that he was very busy with very important matters at the moment and that he couldn't attend to any visitors, I'm sure he doesn't want to maybe I should have let him know that I really wanted to see him after all it's been a long time since I last saw him, I hope he keeps smiling when he sees me that always makes my heart race, but I guess it will be for another time.

I really liked writing this I think it would be nice to write more after all they haven't seen each other yet

[noelleisshort]

How would the skeletons of NHD react it

So context me and my friend are doing a 24hr sleep over watching movies reading fanfction etc,etc

And we wondered how would our favortie skeletons react to reader becoming a furry?

I don't remember how we got to this point but I know it began with us watching the click.

[yesokayiknow]

i hope that sometimes fifteen's psychic paper shorts out and shows what fourteen's thinking back on earth. he tries to sneak in somewhere and the guard's like this just says 'need to pick up cat food'? and fifteen's like 🥺 they got a cat

[battlemaiden13]

I MISSED THIS ONE TOOO AHHHHH.

It's amazing, perfect, just like I imagined. I wanna take that MC and put my persona on it AHHH thank you! I'm so sorry I missed this but it's amazing. your compositions and the way you draw Blue are just wonderful

A story that I love and fall in love with, nothing made me scream as loud as this scene, I love my skeleton boy so much, big heart and other great things😭💖

@battlemaiden13

Chapter 167: A date with Blue

☆🎀 Playboy Easter! 🎀☆

That's it, byeeeee!

[arn359]

HND Chapter 165-166 fanarts

For @battlemaiden13

These are the sounds i heard when reading the chapters in Colt’s POV

(Sorry i can’t remember what design the bat has. Also idk how to draw Colt, I’m ashamed he should have been bigger😔 This one is kinda rush too, gotta draw this idea out before he might get a kiss from MC on her birthday!!!)

MC wearing Skulls jacket, drawing with his art supplies, on his chair, in his room. I dunno it must be a sign to ask her out right? Colt? DO SOMETHING!

Idk if i portrait it good enough but it’s really what’s in my head when reading the chapters, like- arghhhh she so perfecttt.

[battlemaiden13]

So I got to thinking about this and was curious at about what time did each of the HND skeletons realize they were falling for the MC/Reader? (Those who haven't hit that point of infatuation are free from this ask lol.)

These are approximate because it’s been a long time since I wrote some of these chapters but it should be around there when they realized they were in love with Mc some fell in love before these chapters but this is when they realized what it was.

[battlemaiden13]

huh? what? sorry I was too busy SCREAMING AT THIS! holy cow! how is your art so good!! the flowers and the layout ahhhh!!

Scar? yeah I don't think I specified so it's perfect! I, it looks so good. I'll be honest I saw this on my dash before I saw I was tagged and swooned.

I was like "Chief, musket calls MC Chief WAIT WHAT?!"

Also your self insert is so cute! and if you like Musket you should like Chapter 105 it has one of my favourite Musket scenes in it.

Little thing I rushed after reaching Musket's chapter (HE GOT ME GUYS, EVERYTIME HE APPEARS HE MAKES ME SQUEAL, WHY HE SO--)

I still want to do like two scenes more of him and one with Red but I just finished this and got too excited to wait until I finish them all so there you go hehe

So, @battlemaiden13 , again I don't remember if I got another Papyrus face scar wrong or not, would you mind reminding me, pretty please? 👉👈

[fanichus]

FANfic cap2

I'm going to make short chapters because it's not a complete story, it's just a small famfic of a character that I find very interesting, so I'm sorry if it's not exactly how it is in his story original since it is what I get from the little I know about it.

It's been a month since I arrived and I still haven't been able to see my devil, how sad.

But I've been kind of busy with my own business which I must admit is going well but I'm starting to need help... Ok lots of help. I am planning to enroll my business in the monster program that should be enough i think

And today is a busy day with 5 dress fittings, finishing details, cutting some things, taking care of other things, yep very busy

My phone starts ringing with a song that I clearly know who it belongs to.

****Room shaker calling****

*Hello room shaker how have you been?*

*Elizabeth are you seriously still calling me that?*

*Yes and I don't think about changing your name ever, you and Demian never stop fighting over silli things*

*True but I just call to know if my suit will be ready for my next conference*

*Of course my friend, who do you think I am *

*I don't know a girl who is still in love with my brother?*

What?, no...I don't... that never, am I?

*Hey Lizy I was kidding, but I want to know if I can go tomorrow to try on the suit in case some details are missing or something*

*Yes I know, and yes tomorrow at 7 it's alright*

*Yes see you there*

*Yes bye*

I hung up the phone, as I hate being reminded of my old love that I had for Demian, it's been a long time, I haven't seen him since I left and maybe I consider him my best friend, But I don't even know what he looks like, I've been so busy making my career doing what I love and I didn't want to know how much he had changed. The fear of ruining a friendship because of a silly child's game, my father would not let me, I still remember when we met and that he was... ****message from Devil****

Devil: Are you free tonight?

Me: I don't know, I usually don't go out to drink

Devil: I know but there's a new restaurant that I want to try and will be perfect to talked

Me: Are you going to tell me the juice or the tea

Devil: Yes, do you want to know how I fuck a bird monster

Me: It intrigues me, but at the same time that is DISGUSTING

Devil: I'll pick you up at 7, ok?

Me: Yes il be ready

I guess tomorrow will be an interesting day and of course nothing bad will happen, I hope so

@battlemaiden13 I hope I don't disappoint with this chapter but I think the next one will be longer and with drama, after all what it is a love story without drama.

[theindefinitearticle]

what you have to understand is every character in riverdale represents a genre and a class dynamic do you understand no wait come back
