Athena

This was honestly so fun! I could talk about Athena forever. I also talk more about athena and rolans life together andddd it’s very long so it’s all under the cut lmao oops

Baby:

Parents

- Athena’s parents were Thomas Knight and Elerra Knight (née. Kenafin). Her father Thomas was a human Wizard/Paladin of Mystra (boooooo) who worked for the Waterdeep City Guard and her mother Elerra was a drow cleric of Eilistraee who worked as a healer at the local house of healing.

Birth

- She was born in Waterdeep at the families cottage. Her parents treated her birth as if they had been blessed by the gods themselves (as they should lol) they had been trying to have a baby for a while and were starting to lose hope until Elerra finally fell pregnant with Athena.

First word / Tantrum / When they first walked / First sickness

- Athena’s first word was ma. She didn’t really have tantrums often, and if she did they didn’t last for very long. She was 15 months old when she first started to walk and her first sickness was a common cold.

Childhood:

Friends

- Athena had a couple of friends growing up, as a half-drow she didn’t really feel like she belonged anywhere, some people knew she was half drow and treated her different, others didn’t know what she was but they still treated her with caution. Her best friends consisted of Tyler, a tiefling, and Ari who was a high half-elf.

Siblings

- She had one sibling, a sister called rose. There was a 10 year age gap between them. Her sister rose was actually adopted and was a tiefling. Her parents were struggling to conceive yet again so they decided to adopt instead.

Getting into trouble

- Athena had terrible anxiety growing up so she never really did anything to get into trouble.

Birthday

- Her birthday is Alturiak 20th

Games / Learning something new

- She loved a good game of hide and seek, she was very good at hiding so she always won when she played with her parents and friends.

- Athena loves learning and takes it very seriously, when she puts her mind to something she is determined. Growing up she loved lanceboard and even though she wasn’t good at it to begin with, she stuck it out and learned how to play, it took many hours with her mothers help but she got there in the end

Trauma

- Her family being what they were, were judged by some of the public. She grew up hearing people call her mother an under elf, deep elf etc. her mother always tried to ignore it but Athena could she the heartbreak on her mothers face. If it wasn’t for her father, Athena would have grown up to not trust humans as most of the comments made about her mother were from humans.

Teenager:

First love

- Athena’s first love was her friend Tyler. She loved him very much and he loved her as well. Athena wanted to have something more with him but she also didn’t want to ruin what they already had so they just stayed friends

Rebellion / Running away

- Due to the situation Athena was in she never really had time to rebel. After her parents died and her sister became ill she had to grow up real fast and was essentially a mother figure for Rose. Athena had to work, cook and heal all day, everyday. She barely had any time to herself so there was definitely no time to rebel or run away

Reckless behavior

- When her sister had fallen deathly ill, Athena started to pickpocket/steal food and supplies as she now didn’t have much time to make a living to support the two of them. She did still work but it was very rare.

Peer pressure

- Although no one was pressuring her she still pushed herself. She would push herself so hard to heal her sister that some days it took all her energy and she would fall asleep on the floor next to her sisters bed.

Taking responsibility

- She spent most of her teenage years taking responsibility, between healing her sister, earning a living to be able to feed herself and her sister, She never had time for herself and always had to put her sister first. Athena developed a bad habit that when she eats she tends to eat very fast due to always needing to aid rose. Most of the time when she would sit down to eat, rose would start coughing and need urgent care, so eating fast became a bad habit of hers, one she is still working on today.

Adulthood:

Their “first time”

- Athena’s first time was one she wishes she could forget. At 23 years of age athena had her first time with a man she met at the Yawning portal. It was soon after her sister had died and Athena was not taking it well and she wanted a distraction. She ended up getting drunk and have sex with the first man that showed a slight interest in her. Soon after she started to regret it and when she arrived home she curled up in a ball on her bed and started crying wishing her mum was there to talk to. This experience tainted sex for her for a long time after. The next time she had sex was with rolan after the fall of the absolute, she had filled rolan in beforehand about her experience and rolan made sure that she was showed the up most care and love during their first time together

Serious relationships

- Athena’s first serious relationship is with rolan. Although they had their differences when they first met Athena quite liked rolan, she loved how caring he was for his siblings, how determined he was and she found him very attractive. For a spell she thought he hated her but it was the complete opposite.

After Cal and lia were saved from moonrise, rolan found Athena sitting by the waters edge at last light, where he decided to apologize to her. The two ended up talking for a bit and ended up sharing a kiss, Athena thought rolan would regret it come morning but if he did he never showed it.

They didn’t really discuss their feelings till after the fall of the netherbrain. Athena wasn’t sure what she wanted to do now that the absolute was no more, so she decided to go and talk to rolan just to catch up and to see his reaction to her maybe going back to Waterdeep.

They were having a nice conversation when she briefly mentioned going back to Waterdeep, this made rolan drop his drink and turn to her like umm why???? She explained that she didn’t have anything here or anyone needing her to stay so she might as well go back home. Rolan then said something along the lines of “you’re so selfish you know that yes? You are just going to up and leave when the man who cares and loves you the most is standing right in front of you?” When she goes to reply he cuts her off and basically begs her not to leave. Basically rolan finally tells her he is in love with her and has been for a while and he has a meltdown about it. very dramatic, very much rolan lol

- Her first serious platonic relationship would be shadowheart, although she knew shadowheart was lying to her about something she knew that there was probably a good reason for doing so. The two grew close and are still good friends long after the fall of the absolute. Another platonic relationship dear to Athena is Jaheira, I talk about them more in this post. Jaheira is very much a mother figure for Athena.

Work

- Before she was a cleric she was painter, she had to take a break from painting due to obvious reasons. After the fall of the absolute she takes up painting again and sells them in the lower city, all the money she makes from them is then donated to the local orphanage/s.

She tends to paint a lot of landscapes so when rolan first showed her the balconies of the tower she told him about how much she would love to paint this view. When she had finally moved in to ramazith’s tower rolan pulled her to one of the balconies and surprised her with a new easel, paints and a lot of canvases. She was on the brink of tears, she couldn’t have asked for a more caring partner. Most nights rolan will join her outside and will read one of his many books while she paints.

She still was a cleric of course and offered her aid wherever she could. Rolan cleaned out one of the rooms in sorcerous sundries and made it Athena’s office where she could manage all the paperwork for her patients. She was a call out cleric meaning she would go to the patients house instead of them coming into the sundries. She also helped out around sorcerous sundries. Whether that was scroll sorting or working the counter, she loved helping where she could, especially if it made rolans life slightly easier (the less stressed and busy rolan was, the more time they got together)

Leaving home

- Athena left her family home when she was 24 years old, after falling into a deep depression after her sister died she decided that enough was enough. Athena felt that the only thing she had left was her religion so she decided she wanted to become a sword dancer of eilistraee, after she did this she made her way to the promenade of the dark maiden. She helped and lived there for about a year.

Aging

- She doesn’t really like to talk about aging, from losing her family very young she would rather just live in the now instead of thinking about death, she’s had to much of that in her life. When she starts getting older she spends more time painting and hanging out in the tower with rolan.

Finding your place

- Athena feels she has found her place after the fall of the absolute. She is finally living with rolan (they end up getting married 2 years later), cal and lia, she has amazing friends which she still sees and keeps in touch with. She finally feels happy and feels that life is going her way for once.

Staring a family/found family

- Athena and rolan don’t end up having any children. She realises that she has been looking after people her whole life and she wants a chance to just live and have a somewhat calm life. Rolan, Cal and Lia are her found family along with Jaheira and her friends. Although they don’t have any children of their own, athena ends up adopting Yenna but its more of a sister than mother relationship for Yenna. Their family also consists of grub (yennas cat), two other cats they adopted and scratch.

[slasherwife]

🐻Oh, I stopped to think, how the Slashers would react to their S / O being a witch who reincarnated (doesn’t remember the past life, except how she died.), She does rituals (using some potions, animal bones and blood itself). to raise and control plants and a power related to his death (possibly fire) and have nightmares about his death that usually have phantom pain and vision (in the midst of flames and smoke for example.) kisses from Brazil 🐻

Slashers react to a witch s/o

How do the slashers react with you doing tarot, moon rituals, playing with energies, making potions and doing spells?

🌹🌛🌕🌜🌹how do they react to you controlling the elements and getting forewarning of his death?

Thomas Hewitt

Thomas is lowkey intrigued?

Doesn’t even know what this stuff is??

He’s pretty much clueless, but that doesn’t mean you can’t teach him

If you tell him you’re a witch I have a feeling he’ll be taken aback

“B-but the Bible says—“

“No no, the Bible was originally Aramaic, Tommy— and ‘witch’ in Aramaic meant poisoner, my love. I never poison anyone.” 💖💕💖💕

That should do it 😊

Anyway he will still be bewildered a lil bit, just peepin around the corner watching you doing a tarot reading like Ow0 wot

Will catch animals for you to use for rituals

Do you need human bones too? Cuz he’s got you covered 😊💕

But hearing of your past life death? Seeing you play with fire and plant energies? How the universe practically bows to you? He sees you completely different.

He was standing on the back porch, watching you walk towards him as the grass waved to you and the trees bent in your favor, and he never wanted to be apart from you 🌹😊

You are a starlit goddess, sent to him by mistake— and he thinks you belong to the stars above or in the clouds~~ anywhere but his dark, sad home 😓💖

If you have nightmares about his death, he will go under your wing —begrudgingly— under your constant protection

He doesn’t believe too much of your visions, but he hates seeing you upset and his dark goddess doesn’t deserve paranoia 🥀😓

Jason Vorhees

Whatever Jason thinks, he at least acknowledges at his zombie phase that he isn’t exactly considered natural either.

Tbh you guys would be a total power couple 🤗🥺💖

He would be probably more understanding of your occupation than Tommy, and would embrace you fully 😊

Like “I knew my y/n was special. I knew it!” 😊💕

He doesn’t like that you use animal bones though. “Why the poor animals y/n?? Use human bones instead— here.”

He thinks you have superpowers hah

He loves when you raise the plants to be alive again— it’s like you keep it spring all year and he loves it 🥺💖💕💖🌷

Will be happy that you have them so you can protect yourself if need be 😊

Once you tell him about your past life death and how you can manipulate elements and that you’re getting forewarnings dreams of his death... he won’t be too worried.

First off, any thought of you dying in general is caused him literal physical pain. So he didn’t like you talking about that 🥺💕

You controlling the elements, Fire? He will follow you anywhere hon’. 7’1 immortal zombie legend murderer and powerful sorcerer/ess/witch? Biggest power couple 💕🙌🙌

And then lastly, the only thing Jason will worry about from your dreams is how you will manage with out him. That’s literally it 😂🥺💕💖

He knows he will come back eventually, you can’t kill Jason forever— he physically can’t stay dead lol

He will sheepishly miss all the crazy sex you guys have been having, but you stop your worrying! Jason’s like “my poor bab don’t be so scared— I’ll always come back!” 💕💕💖💕

Michael Myers

Will 1000% pretend your powers don’t interest him.

But just know that he’s peeking around the corner when you absent mindedly play with the candle’s flame while mixing a clarity potion, literally on his toes 😂💕

He loves to be around you when you’re doing candle work, making a potion, practicing controlling the elements— because you exert this powerful and foreign energy aura that’s comforting to him 😊💖💕🥺

Another slasher that will go on a midnight trip of catching animals for you because “ANYTHING FOR YOU, MY GODDESS— 😫💖💕💖💕”

But you wouldn’t even ask for it, he would see you making spell charms or bags with animal bones in it—

And then next thing you know he drops a sack of birds and a goat next to you and walks away???🤭

Do I know where he got the goat?? No I fucking do not xD but it kinda stank so you had to drag it out the back door and get to work 😣

And then obviously he’ll give you human bones as well lel 💕

He likes hearing of your past life death, he thinks it’s cool lol 😊💖

Getting forewarnings of Michael’s death? K.

He wouldn’t be bothered really, but he obviously doesn’t want to die— he’s too stubborn for that 💕💖

This is the only time he will ever listen to you xD barely

Basically like “too bad—I’m going out tonight. But I’ll ‘be careful’ or whatever the fuck you said.”

Another huge power couple btw 🙌💖💕

Bubba Sawyer

He thinks you’re so cool 🥺

He’ll think your tarot readings are a game and he’ll pick up random ones and look at them

(He likes the pictures) 😖💖

He’ll be so curious, like snooping around when you’re doing a ritual, snuggling up against you when you’re saying an incantation—

He’s like a cat💖💕

Oh you like animal bones? What a surprise! His house is literally full of them. 😶🌷

Ya you have an endless supply of animal bones— you won’t ever run out 😂💖💕

You died in your past life? WHAT? Why? *crying*

He will snuggle you all night when you tell him that 🥺

Also thinks you’re a goddess that was sent to him and can NOT wrap his head around the fact that you two met by chance 🥺💖

Cherishes you every single day and will probably be super clingy because you’re just his strong woman who deserves everything for the queen she is— *INHALE* yeah. 😖😖💕💕💖💖

Wait. What? You dreamt of me dying? What abt you will you be okay my little blueberry muffin??

He won’t careeee but at the same time he wants to stay with youuuuu😖💖💕

Just so he can stay alive to be with you, he’ll do everything you say to stay safe and will follow every protocol much to Chop Tops annoyment. 🤷‍♀️😊💕

“No, sorry—Y/n says I can’t do that.”

I love you two together, it gives me the feels 🥺💕💖

Bo Sinclair

Ooooh niceeee

Lowkey interested but probably won’t show it 😆

Like u do u— don’t know don’t care as long as you keep making me pbjs

Prepare for bewildererd looks when he walks in on your using blood/bones for a particular ritual 😳

Like you’ll just be sitting on your bed with your eyes closed, holding a black candle trying to banish negative energy and he’ll walk in—

“Want me to leave...?”

“Shhhhhhh....”

He’ll probably come home one day with an animal skull or something like, “babe I found this owl beak... you want it?” 😂💖💕

He’ll probably tell Lester to catch something while he’s out and about, and then take it and tell you that he got it for you all by himself😂💕

Lowkey scared of you sometimes

He’s not scared of blood, but like y are u using it..??

Tried not to piss you off too much so you hex him or something xD 💖💕

You: *manipulating fire and wind out back*

Bo, walking in on it: bitch what the fu—

If you tell him you’re getting visions of his death, he’ll probably be super skeptical and give you it a smartass remark— probably ask if you’ve been smoking the mugwort too 😳😶

But if you persist on it— he’ll get frustrated but will listen to you because he doesn’t like seeing u upset 🥺🌷

Brahmsie

Bitch wtf u doin?

So confused— explain now

This little shit will go through all of your stuff and take what he thinks is cool and will probably piss off your deities (if u have deities) 😂

You’ll have to make him apologize and have him give it back~~which I wish you the best of luck w 😂💖💕

You’ll just be minding your own business when Brahmsie is looking at your things—

The he legit looks at you dead in the eyes and takes your dragon figurine and disappears into the walls, much to your panic 😓😶😶

But since you can do all this stuff, now 3x more scared of you even tho you’re a small bean in comparison to him— 😳💕🌷

You threatened to hex him if he didn’t start actin right and he started being nice real quick 😂🙌💕💕

Where did u get that blood? 😶😳

Using animal bones? Use the dead rats y/n! Duh!

Bonus for him if he manages to sack the grocery boy and take his bones too 😶💘

“ANYTHING FOR YOU MY QUEEN!” 🙌😭💖💖

If he finds you controlling the elements and sees u controlling fire.... he leaves immediately dont you know he’s terrified of fire??

Yeah uh he demands in a shaky voice that you stop doing that or else ☹️😶he doesn’t like fire at all

But that’s okay cuz you’re still the fuckin coolest person hes ever been w! 😆💘

Wait wut...? You’re saying I’m gonna die? UWU SAVE ME Y/N I DONT WANNA DIEEE

He will literally get so scared when you tell him you’re getting forewarnings of his death, and will go under your wing definitely the most willingly 😅💓💓

Whatever, more cuddles for him! And some other things 😏

I hope u liked ittt! Sorry I’ve not the time to post ANYTHING lately— it took me 5 days to finish this one because of how busy w school I am— but I hope you like it!! 💖💖

[metalomagnetic]

Hey metalomagnetic, please if you got the time to spear, I'd like to ask you a few questions. I'm not a native speaker and quite anxious to publish my first fanfiction, and as I stumbled across your works I'm very curious: Are you a native speaker? Your stories are so well written, I can't believe these are your first published works! :O Do you have any prior experience in writing? And would you mind sharing how you generally go on about planning/writing your stories and how long it takes? Because for me, translating in my head and finding the right phrases and everything takes so much time, it's very discouraging. I'd be very very grateful for any tips you could give a new writer!

I am not a native speaker.

I always liked to write, but I never published anything before; I started writing my journal or short ideas for stories in English when I was about 16- specifically to practice my English, which was mostly self taught.

I have a general idea about where my story is going, before I even write the first line- but trust me, a lot of it changes as I go, new ideas come or others are scrapped.

So, I sit down to write a chapter. That is easy- even for my 20k plus words, I can generally finish a chapter in 2-3 days.

But then comes the editing- because I completley understand your worries. Finding the right phrases (sometimes they sound good in my head, because my mind translates them in my language where they sound fine but then googling it and finding out it doesn't mean the same thing in English, or I worded it strangely) fishing for typos (that too is hard, since sometimes I just miss them, but other times I am convinces a word is correct, when it is not.) it takes a lot of time.

What I do, and what I would advise you to do- write your first draft of the chapter as if no one will ever see it. Because no one will- just let the words flow, as they come to you and don't worry about grammar or vocabulary yet. After you are done, go back to the start and take the first 1000 words, put them in a different document and start combing through it for mistakes, or find better way to arrange the words so they don't sound odd to a native speaker. Google is your best friend.

It is a lot of effort; I know. But it is worth it. And you'll notice it becomes easier, after every chapter. Your mind will start spotting more typos easier, you will find phrases come faster to you. Your confidence will grow.

Sometimes people will comment on your typos. And for me that is fine. It is a way to learn, as long as they aren't rude about it. (For example, when I started Ouroboros, I was convinced 'follow' was spelled 'fallow'. It was pointed out to me, several times, and now there is no chance for me to ever make that error again. )

As for the general feel of the work- It might never end up being perfect- mine isn't. But don't worry about it. As a friend I made on here , a native speaker, told me- as long as you get your point across and make an effort, people will know what you mean even if maybe the wording or an expression is a little strange to them.

There is also the matter that for us, not native speakers, it is hard to distinguish between British English and American English. So in my work you will find in the same chapter some words spelled the American way and just a few sentences later, another words spelled the British way. But again, most people don't seem to mind it.

Write! Publish, even though I know it can be scary. But it is a good way to learn, and all the effort is worth it, especially when you get a nice comment.

Wow, I'm sorry for the very long answer, but I just wanted to share the little I figured out because I relate to you- I know it isn't that easy. Writing can be hard even for native speakers- but for those that aren't native, the editing process can be very long and frustrating.

I will end by saying that after every chapter published ( and I've been working on Ourobors, my first fic, for a little over a year) your English will get better. You'll read back and find mistakes that slip and easily correct them. Your writing will improve and so will your confidence.

Thank you for your nice compliments and see? I had your same worries, and I know my work isn't perfect, but it doesn't bother you, does it? You understand what I am trying to say in my fic.

The same will happen to you. You are your harshest critic, remember that.

Shackled

Pairing | Lucien x Reader

Warnings | NON-CON, smut, kidnapping, violence, bondage

Word count | 1740

Summary | getting kidnapped by Lucien and he fucks you

A/n | this fic contains Non consensual sex and dark themes, please DO NOT READ if this makes you uncomfortable

A/n | (Based in the time of season 3 of TO) You are a Siphon. You are living with the mikaelsons. You had been like a sister to Rebekah a few years ago while she was in Mystic falls and after she moved back to New Orleans you dated Jeremy. After you two broke up you needed to get away so you moved to New Orleans after Rebekah invited you to stay with them. You and Kol always flirted and had endless banter but neither of you ever persude each other. You are currently out trying to find some dark object of Kol’s that Cami must have lost when she took them as it wasn’t in your apartment.

“Kol, do you even know where you’re going?” You whined. “Of course darling, do you mistake me with a fool?” You rolled your eyes and continued following him. You were walking down a back ally in New Orleans, blindly following Kol who apparently knew exactly where he was going. Suddenly a hand clamped over your mouth and your vision went black.

Your eyes fluttered open as you slowly regained consciousness. Your wrists were bound by chains hanging from the ceiling and you were kneeling with you arms in the air. Your white camisole was torn and stained red but your ripped black jeans were gone, leaving you in your red lace underwear. Shit. The sound of footsteps echoed through your hearing and you saw him from the corner of your eye. You hind your head in defeat, knowing he would most certainly kill you. He stopped right infront of you. “Lucien.” You venomously spat. He grabbed your chin and tilted your head up to look at him, “Someone’s happy to see me.” He smirked. “Fuck you.” You retorted. He let go of you chin and walked over to a table. He picked something up and walked back over to you, lifting your chin and daring you to break eye contact with him. “Let’s have some fun, shall we?” Suddenly the leather hit your skin ferociously. You screamed in pain as he struck your back over and over until he drew blood. He stopped after 20 lashes. “Having fun, darling? I’m sure we can work something else out if you’re not.” He smirked at you again. “Oh fuck you and your torture just let me go.” You almost shouted. He dropped the whip and kneeled down behind you, his hand wrapping round your throat and turning your head to look at him, the other one snaking round your chest and grabbing your boob, holding you firmly into him. “So feisty. You’d do well to remember I’m a 1000 year old vampire and you’re a worthless mortal.” He said into your cheek. “And when you’re 1000 years old you get bored very easily. So your going to be my entertainment, y/n.” His hand trailed from your boob to your core and slipped into your panties, rubbing circles on your clit. “You have no idea how badly I want to fuck your brains out.” He pushed his hard-on unto you ass, “you feel that? That’s all because of you, darling.” He growled in your ear as sighs and quiet moans tumbled from your lips. He has your juices running over his fingers quickly and took his hand out your panties, satisfied. He shoved his fingers down your throat and used his other hand to move your panties to the side.

“Now the real fun begins” he chuckled. The sound of his zip made your eyes widen and you let out a cry of pain and pleasure as his cock slid into your tight cunt. “Fuck, Y/N, your pussy is so tight around my big dick.” Lucien cooed in your ear. He began pumping at a punishing rate, his fingers leaving your mouth as you started gagging. He slapped your ass 1,2,3...10 times. Hard. “My handprint looks so good on your big ass.” He hummed. A constant flow of moans and curse words left your mouth as he continued to bury himself in you roughly. He reached round and grabbed your boobs in turn, hard enough to leave bruises. Suddenly, he stopped, his dick still inside you. He grabbed your hair and pulled your head back enough for you to look into his eyes. “Fuck yourself on my cock, y/n. Pleasure yourself in me.” He commanded. When you refused to move he bared his fangs and sank them onto your neck. You instantly began grinding against his dick and he moaned your name. “Fuck, y/n, I’ve been wanting to fuck you since the minute I first met you.” He said.

He pulled out of you and walked around to your front, where he grabbed you by a fist-full of your hair and forced his cock into your mouth. “I’ve been wondering what your pretty little mouth could do except insult me.” He snarled. He rammed his dick into your mouth for a while until you had saliva dripping down your chin. “Good girl.” He praised. “Taking my dick so well. Let’s see how far you can go.” He held your head in place so you were taking him all the way and his top brushed you back of your throat. You gagged around him and tears pricked your eyes. “Oh fuck” he moaned. He pulled your head back, allowing you to get some air before eventually doing the same thing over and over until you struggled to breathe. He started to moan as his cum released into your mouth in hot spurts, “come on slut, swallow it. Swallow it all.” He spat. You did as he said and he pulled out. Your head hung as you regained your breath.

There was a sudden banging on the door and your heard kol’s voice. “y/n! Y/n? Are you in there? Y/N!!” He shouted. Lucien appeared over you and ripped the chains off you, leaving blood dripping from your wrists. You were covered in bruises and aches all over, your legs so weak you collapsed the second you were free. Lucien grabbed you and held you against him with his arm over your chest. You started to struggle against him but it was no use as you were no-where near as strong as him. The door gave way to reveal Kol and Freya stood there. Just as Kol was about to rush over to you Lucien spoke. “If you take a step closer, I feed her my blood and snap her neck. Oh god. You didn’t want to be a vampire. Let alone a heratic. You hated your powers and had a strict, no vampire blood rule unless it was a life or death situation. Lucien bit into his wrist and held it over your mouth. You had no choice but to drink as you started choking on his blood. your vision was blurred with tears and you heard Freya mutter something. A spell. Before Lucien could react he was screaming. He let go of you and you collapsed. The sun started to burn him. He was on fire. He ran as fast as he could to a sheltered area of the apartment. Freya must have de-activated his daylight ring.

Kol rushed to your side and cradled you into his chest. "It'll be alright darling. I promise. Did he hurt you?" he asked calmly. You nodded. "Where, darling?" you looked up at him and spoke, "M-my stomach, an-and my, um, m-my-" you cut yourself off as you broke down into tears. "I think she means to say her thighs and hips." Lucien smirked. Kol's face contorted with anger and he passed you to Freya. Kol had Lucien held up against the wall in an instant. "You what?!" he shouted. Lucien maintained his smirk and said, "OH she was wonderful, no wonder all you mikaelsons are desperate to get in her pants." Kol growled and threw Lucien into the sunlight. he screeched and dashed back to the shade, hitting the wall and gasping. "Why you little-" Kol was cut-off by Freya. "Kol, I know you want your revenge, but its going to have to wait. We need to get y/n out of here and my spell will wear-off soon. We can't risk endangering her again. Let's go." Kol let out a frustrated sigh and came over to you, picking you up bridal-style and walking out the penthouse with you.

Back at the  Mikaelson compound you woke up to Kol brushing your face with the back of his hand. "Sorry, darling. I didn't mean to wake you." he said. "Oh-uh, don't worry about it." You smiled weakly. He brushed your hair out your face and smile softly back. "When I saw you, all I could think was to rip that bastard's head off. I couldn't stand to see you in pain." He admitted. "I'm okay now." You replied gently. "Well, you see, y/n..." oh god. He never used your name. He always came up with some kind of pet-name. "I realised that if I ever lost you, my world would just...collapse. So o guess what I'm saying is I like you. As more than a bloody friend." He sighed. Ignoring the pain, your reached up and placed a tentative kiss on his lips, cupping his cheek with your hand. It took him a moment to register what happened, but when he did he kissed you back passionately - as if he'd been waiting to do it for a long time. You pulled back, gunning pike an idiot. "Kol." "Yes darling." You took a deep breath, your face turning serious, "I guess what I have to say is..could you get me some food? I'm starving and unlike you, I actually have to eat." A goofy smile broke out on your face. "And to think for a second there I thought you were going to declare you undying love for me, darling." He chuckled and kissed your forehead before standing up and heading to the kitchen. "Kol." "What now?" He stopped and spun on his head. "I like you too." You smiled. His face broke out into an expression of pure joy and he walked out the room.

Muslim attire in the EU

This is gonna be a guide to the bans (or lack thereof) on muslim attire in the European Union, country by country. Why am I doing this? Well, I’ve seen a discussion between  that you can read here about the ban on hijabs in public institutions in Belgium and France and how that’s done in the name of “secularism” (it was all brought on because of a gift-set of  Yasmina from wtfok, a hijabi muslim girl in a public school from Antwerp, Belgium) .

First of all, a disclaimer. I’m in no way shape or form an expert on this, I just have way too much time on my hands and want to understand the continent I live in and its relationship to Islam a little bit better. The information on here might be inaccurate or just wrong, I’ve spent only a few hours doing research, I know it’s not enough so if you know more be free to add your own info to this. 

I wanted to do a European list in general but there are A LOT of countries in Europe, so I’m limiting myself to 28, I might do the rest of countries another time, this is just to give you (us?) a general view of the continent.

I’m gonna put links to EVERYTHING so that if you wanna read the whole articles you can do so, the info there is gonna be much more specific, for I’m only doing a summary of it. Most of my links are gonna take you to articles in English, but some of them will be in Spanish, French and Italian, for those are the only languages I speak, I’d love to read the articles about Germany in German because they are usually more accurate than those in English, but I don’t speak the language, so I haven’t. 

Also, even though I feel pretty comfortable and confident in English it is not my first language (nor my second), so bear that in mind, there are gonna be some spelling and grammar mistakes, I’m sorry.

First of all, what is “secularism”? There are a couple definitions of the word that change it’s meaning, but I’m gonna use the definition presented by the Cambridge Dictionary, for I think it might be the most “european” one and we are talking secularism in the European Union, so, the Cambridge Dictionary defines “secularism” as:  “the belief that religion should not be involved with the ordinary social and political activities of a country”.

Having said this, I’ll tackle each country alphabetically in English (I’m including the UK because they haven’t left the Union yet). A lot of the info is gonna be based in this article. So brace yourselves:

AUSTRIA

Islam in Austria is the first minority religion. 8% of the total population declared themselves muslim in the last census.

In 2017 the Austrian Parliament banned all those items of clothing that covered the face, a law that mainly affects those muslim women who wear hijabs and niqabs.

In 2019 the Austrian Parliament passed a law banning young girls (up to 10 yo) to wear hijabs at school. The fine for going against this law goes up to 440€.

You can read more info about Islam in Austria here and about the hijab ban here.

BELGIUM

Islam is the second religion of this country after Christianity and the muslim population of the country represents the 7% of the total.

(I want to note here that the Wikipedia page in French makes close to no reference to the hijab bans in the country)

I think this is the country who’s hijab ban is making more head-lines as of late because of their last ban on hijabs in Universities (as of 2020) but the first hijab bans in schools in the country were seen in 2005. 

In 2017 the European Court ruled against two niqab-wearing (I couldn’t find the right terminology, if I’m not using this right, please tell me) Belgium muslim women who’d brought their country to court saying that the ban went against Human Rights.

The fines for not upholding this laws can go up to 150€ and can result in incarceration.

You can read about Islam in Belgium in French here and in English here. If you want to know more about the recent protests I’d recommend this article and if you wanna know about the ruling of the EU Court on the face-covering ban in Belgium, you can read this article.

BULGARIA

Islam in Bulgaria is practised by 15% of the population, it’s the second biggest religion in the country after Christianity.

On 2016 the Parliament of Bulgaria passed a law banning Bulgarian citizens from wearing burqas in public spaces, those who choose to oppose it will face fines up to 770€.

I haven’t seen much about Islam and Bulgaria, but the Wikipedia article is fine (you can find it here) and I also loved this article about how the Bulgarian government benefits from this ban (it could be applied to all the countries).

CROATIA

Islam is the second largest faith in the country after Christianity, but according to a 2011 census it only represents 1.47% of the population.

I haven’t been able to find any info about bans on either face-veils (burqas, niqabs) or hijabs, but the Wikipedia article if pretty good.

CYPRUS

Can I just leave it at “Cyprus is complicated af”, pretty please? Okay, the thing with Cyprus, without getting too deep into International politics, is this will vary depending on what you understand by “Cyprus” because if you ask a Turk, they’ll say there are two countries in the Island, but I’m gonna make this from the European POV, so the whole island is one country (please don’t murder me).

Islam makes up 18% of the population of the country (most muslims are in the northern part of the island, the Turkish part). There are no bans on muslim attire in the country that I know of.

If you wanna know more about Islam on the country I’d recommend this article, if you wanna know about the dangers of Imperialism and what the fuck is actually going on in Cyprus, this is nice. Oh! And this article about religions in Cyprus is good as well, but it’s in Spanish.

CZECHIA

So, Czechia (why is it spelled like this? why? I’ve had to check it over and over again!) so… Not much to say about this country (other than the fact that Prague might be my favourite city ever). Muslims only account for 0.1% of the population and I couldn’t find any bans whatsoever.

Oh! And its political leaders have proposed a ban on Islam itself, which isn’t Islamophobic at all!!! (according to their wonderful president refugees are colonizers, I love my continent :))

Okay, if you wanna read more about the whole Islam ban, this is a wonderful article to do so. And if you wanna know about Islam in the country in general, well, this isn’t the best Wikipedia article in the whole world, but it’s nice enough.

(I know my sarcasm is starting to show, I’m tired and I’ve only done 5 out of the 28 countries.)

DENMARK

And we’re finally here! The country with the little island for their muslim migrants!

Okay, joking aside, the muslim population of this country accounts for 5.4% of the total.

In 2005 the Parliament passed a law allowing businesses to ban women from wearing hijabs and on 2009 judges and jurors were forbidden to wear religious symbols. Some schools ban the use of head-scarfs. The fine for refusing to do so is of 1000 konner or 140 €. On 2018 they passed a law banning garments that cover the face.

This article is good for general information. And, if you want to know about the island, this article is good.

ESTONIA

Estonia has a very, very, very small Islamic community (0.1% of the total) and there’s not even one (1) Mosque in the country, although they practice in a Muslim Community centre.

Sorry I couldn’t find more info, you can read this, but it isn’t much.

FINLAND

Finland, 2.7% of the country’s population is Muslim. And… That’s all I could find? I’m sorry, really, if you want more info I can throw in the fact that “The Baltic Tatars” are a thing and they sound super cool.

Here’s the article.

FRANCE

Oh, France, the first country that used secularism to hide islamophobia, the land of Moliere, Champagne, my favourite cheese, Simone de Beauvoire… And the birthplace of the European hijab ban.

Okay, so things didn’t happen over night, in 1989 the French Minister of Education stated that it was up to the educators to accept or refuse the use of head-scarfs in their classrooms. In 2004 the French government banned religious symbols in schools and public places altogether (something that somehow only affects muslim women).

In 2010 dresses that covered ones face were banned (something that, again, mainly affect muslim women).

In 2016 there were very strong attempts to ban burkinis that were overthrown.

Oh! Muslims account for 8.8% of the total population in France.

To read more about Islam in France this article is good. And I’ve loved this article about the hijab in France. If you want something in French you can read this.

GERMANY

Muslims in Germany account for over 11.6% of the total population of the country.

In 2017 the government passed a law banning the covering of the face for soldiers and state-workers during work hours.

This article is great to get a superficial view about Islam in Germany.

GREECE

Muslims in Greece account for 4.7% of the population, I haven’t found much else other than the fact that there are two distinct groups, those who have been there since the Ottoman Empire and those who came in the late 20th century, early 21st.

I really liked this article, it’s not wikipedia.

HUNGARY

Muslims in Hungary make for less than 0.1% of the population. I haven’t found any information on bans on veils, but the country right now is ruled by the far-right and they won’t take any refugees (I know not all refugees identify as muslim but, believe me, in Europe everyone views them as muslim).

I got the info from this article, but I liked this article on Islam in Hungary much better, it just didn’t have the info I was looking for.

IRELAND

Ireland has a muslim population of 0.9% of the total of the country. Ireland is a fun country to do on this list because of the declaration from their Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, in 2018, about weather to ban veils or not, stating: “I don’t like it but I think people are entitled to wear what they want to wear. […] I believe in the freedom of religion. I don’t agree with the doctrine of every religion or necessarily any religion, but I do believe in the freedom of religion.”

You can read more about Ireland and Islam in this article.

ITALY

Muslims in Italy represent 2.3% of the total population, in 2015, Lombardy (a region in northern Italy) banned the use of burqas in hospitals and local governament buildings. Anyway, this article gives you a pretty good overview on Islam in Italy and this one on the Lombardy burqa ban.

LATVIA

Muslims make up around 1% of the population in the country, I couldn’t find anything about bans on veils in the country, or Islam in  general, but this article is an overview and this one talks about the experience of a muslim man in Latvia.

LITHUANIA

The only thing I’ve been able to find is that Lithuanian Tatars make for 0.1% of the population, but I couldn’t find anything about other Islamic families living in the country. You can read more on Islam’s history in the country in this article.

LUXEMBURG

The muslim population in Luxembourg accounts for 0.02% of the total population of the country, as fas as I know, there are no bans on veils, either hijabs or face-veils. So… Yeah, here’s a link, I couldn’t find much info on Islam in the country.

MALTA

Malta’s muslim community represents less than 1% of the country’s population.

In Malta, muslim women have to remove their veil when taking identification photos, but other than that, they can wear whatever they want, even though there was a proposal to ban burqas and niqabs in 2015, it was overthrown.

I couldn’t find much about Islam in Malta, mainly this article and this one about the proposal to ban full face veils. 

NETHERLANDS

5% of the population in the Netherlands practice Islam according to a 2018 census.

In 2019 the Netherlands passed a law banning the use of burqas and niqabs, but not without controversy, Amsterdam’s mayor has opposed the law since the beginning and the actual enforcement of such law is in question.

You can read more about the history of Islam in the Netherlands in this article and about the ban on burqas in this one.

POLAND

Today, less than 0.1% of the population of this country declares themselves as muslim, but it’s one of the most Islamophobic countries in the continent, although I haven’t been able to find any bans on veils, probably because the majority of muslims are Lipka Tatars and the women of that group traditionally don’t wear hijab.

You can read more about this in this article.

PORTUGAL

The muslim population of Portugal represents less than 1% of the total, I haven’t been able to find any info on veil bans, but I got everything from  this article.

ROMANIA

Muslims in Romania make up for the 0.3% of the population. As far as I’ve seen, there are no bans on veils in this country.

You can read more about Islam in Romania here.

SLOVAKIA

Less than 0.1% of the country’s population practice Islam and the country does not have a mosque. I haven’t been able to find anything about veil bans in the country, but they did ban Islam from becoming an official religion on 2016 and mosques in general (people worship in the Islamic Centre of Cordoba).

This is what I’ve been able to find about Islam in the country, this article is about the ban on mosques.

SLOVENIA

Muslims make up about 2.4% of the country’s population. I couldn’t find much else, and nothing on bans on veils. I got my info from this article.

SPAIN

Islam is practised in Spain by 4.5% of the country’s population. 

Some cities in the country (such as Barcelona, Tarragona and Lleida) have banned the use of burqas and niqabs since 2010 and, although the Senat has pressured the government to do so nation-wide, their proposal didn’t pass the Parliament nor the Government itself, no no action has been taken.

(Also, I’ve seen people in both burqas and niqabs in Barcelona, so I don’t know if the law is being applied)

Finding info on Islam in Spain is tricky because most articles talk about the 12th century and things like that, but this one in Spanish is pretty good.

SWEDEN

Sweden’s muslim population makes up for 8.1% of the total. In 2019 a few municipalities banned the use of the hijab in educational institutions.

You can read more about all of this here.

UNITED KINGDOM

Muslims represent 4.4% of the total population in the UK and there’s no law banning islamic dress.

You can read more about this here.

THE EUROPEAN UNION AND ITS VALUES

I know many defend the banning of such items of clothing stating that secularism is a European value, so I took the liberty of going into the EU official site and look up its values (you can find it all here). This are the values of the EU:

Human dignity

Freedom (yeah, freedom of religion and expression are included within the EU’s definition of freedom)

Democracy

Equality

Rule of law

Human Rights (again the right to be free of discrimination because of religion is here)

So, no “secularism” isn’t a European value, freedom of expression and of religion and faith are. So, although the EU has ruled in favour of this bans multiple times, those are not upholding European Values.

Also, I’ve been very careful to put the years all this bans have been approved because, if you look closely, you’ll see that these bans are the outcome of the Islamophobia, xenophobia and radicalism that has taken Europe (and the west) by storm after 9/11 and the Mediterranean Migratory Crisis.

OTHER RANDOM THINGS I’VE SEEN, LIKED BUT DON’T KNOW HOW TO WORK INTO THIS LONG ASS POST

I really liked this article about how Europe banned veils and now face-masks are mandatory in most places.

This article also touches on Turkey, Russia and other European countries.

I love this article about how wearing a hijab in a lot of places of Europe has become a symbol of resistance. 

A LITTLE NOTE FROM ME TO YOU

Chapter 23

February 4, 2019

The girls sit around talking for a bit as the music plays. The girls were guest on NCT’s Night Night show after a busy schedule.

“Okay so we are here with Royal 1004 talking about their two most recent singles.” Jaehyun says smiling as he looks back up looking at the girls.

“Yes Nightingale and Broken heart.” Johnny says looking at his notes. “I like Nightingale more plus the video.”

“Aren’t you in the video?” Jaehyun says looking at Johnny. The just laugh watching as Johnny smiles sheepishly.

“That’s because he’s Nessie unnie Romeo.” Eunjin says smiling watching them.

“So tell us Romeo why do you like the video?” Jisoo asks smiling evilly as she looks at Johnny.

“Well I like it because; it’s like the video you girls did for MAMAs it’s strong and hints at much more than you are letting on.”

Renesmee hums looking away as she just sits there sipping from her bottle. “Both songs and videos are really dark and mysterious.” Johnny continues as he looks at them girls.

The girls nod as they listen to him speak. “True they are dark but they could pull a 360 and turn back into the cute princess.” Jaehyun speaks up looking at Johnny.

Renesmee hums with a smirk as she looks down at her lap. “You’ve been rather silent tonight Nessie?” Jaehyun says looking over at her.

Renesmee smiles evilly taking another sip of her drink. Jaehyun then looks at Moka as she smile. He then turns looking at Johnny as he also takes a sip of his drink.

She tilts her head running her fingers through her hair. “I have no reason to talk anymore.” She gives a short and simple reply.

“Really you have nothing to say?”

“That’s right even if I did no one would listen to me.” She speaks leaning on the table watching him.

“It seems you have been talking less ever since the end of last year.” Jaehyun tilts his head looking at her.

“Well you know me, I’ve always been the shy type.” Renesmee smiles looking at her drink. “Is there something you want me to say?”

“Why don’t you tell us the meaning of all this.” He asks waving his hand and she sits up sitting back in her chair.

“Aw but where’s the fun in that?” Renesmee speaks teasing them as she pouts. “If I were to just tell you it will make everything boring.”

“Come on tell us about the drama everyone wants to know what’s going on.”

“Wolves are very protective over Romeo; isn’t that right?” Renesmee speaks as she looks at Johnny.

“Yes.” Johnny says nodding his head.

“What about you?” Jaehyun asks.

Renesmee smiles evilly humming. “What about me?”

Jaehyun sighs rubbing his temples. “What happened to you; did you lose your wings people want to know.” He speaks trying to get some answers.

“Wow and angel with no wings.” Sora says shaking her head.

“If I lost my wings I’d think I cry.” Roxay speaks pouting as she leans her head on Renesmee.

“But she did lose her wings?” Jaehyun says his voice sounding confuse. “Right at the concert the video….”

“That shadow thing ripped your wings?”

Renesmee smiles watching Jaehyun trying to figure it out. “I think people are reading too much into it.” She says pushing her hair back.

“Since I know what will happen I will tell you.”

“Please because this is all confusing me.” Jaehyun says shaking his head.

“Okay nothing is happening and nothing happened okay for us to lose our wings we must go against the greater power.”

Renesmee speaks nodding her head as she hold her mic. “And or someone destiny has changed and their fate is altered.”

“Okay fine good next question will there be a kiss scene?” Jaehyun asks causing Johnny to choke on his drink.

The girls start laughing looking over at him. “Come on the fans want to know; you push him away like every time he tries to kiss you.” Jaehyun continues speaking.

“Love is a tricky game especially for an angel so maybe she’s not sure if she ready to kiss him.” Moka says resting her head on her palm.

“You know he is only human after all.” Eunjin says smiling.

Renesmee hums watching them as they speaks. “I don’t know I don’t trust him still; there’s no way he’s human.” Xiaoling speaks folding her arms looking at Johnny.

“You’re right how do you really know if I’m human?” Johnny goes along with the bantering.

“I knew we shouldn’t have trusted him.” Jisoo says eyeing Johnny and he smirks leaning back in his seat.

“Oh come on you can trust Romeo, I would do nothing to hurt an angel.” Johnny smiles looking at her. “Weren’t you the one to pick me to play the part of Romeo?”

“We only picked you because you and Nessie unnie make a cute couple.” Yiyang says watching him now Renesmee coughs choking on her drink.

Roxay and Chaoxing both start laughing watching her. “Well then why don’t we get into Royal 1004 second single Broken Heart.”

Renesmee looks over at Yiyang as Jisoo hands her napkin. Yiyang just smiles watching her and Renesmee sighs getting up. Renesmee walks out the room pushing her hair back.

“I was only kidding; okay maybe not 100% but still I was just messing with her.”

“She’s not mad.” Roxay says as she sits there looking at her phone. “Trust me she’s fine.” She says nodding her head.

February 10, 2019

“SM has confrimed that Renesmee of Royal 1004 will stay with the group until the end of their first tour.”

The girls sit there watching a YouTube video. “It seems some people have mixed feelings about her leaving.” The males says looking at some notes.

“New photos and videos have popped up of Nessie having meetings or being scolded at on many different sns.”

“There are also photos and audio clips of her being bullied by managers and other workers; now I have heard stories of how idols and trainees are treated but these new findings have me worried.”

“Would you guys stop watching that and go to bed.” Renesmee says placing her bag on her shoulder. “I’ll be back and before you ask I’m fine promise.”

She smiles before leaving the dorm. The girls sit there looking at the hall before looking back at the tv. “You don’t think she’s hiding something do you?”

Renesmee makes her way back to the company. “Hurry up you’re late!” One male yells hitting her on her back as she walks past them.

“Okay I want you to go over the dance we’ve been doing!” The choreographer says pushing Renesmee to the middle of the floor.

“No slacking you wanted to stay in the group for the tour; so that means you keep your end of the deal.”

Let’s go back shall we; you see here back in December the girls had their first meeting about going on tour. So with that being said they were still talking about kicking her out the group.

But Renesmee begged to stay saying she’ll do anything. So they’d agree to let her stay if she did what they told her to do. After they agreed to let her stay that’s when the torture started.

With the late night meetings and dance practices. She was there more than anyone now. They stopped letting her help or choreography their dances. They started changing stuff little by little.

They gave her anything and everything to keep her busy. Even doing coffee runs for them. And if they didn’t like what she was doing; then she’d paid the price. If she didn’t follow what they told her she’d paid the price.

And she did all of it taking everything they throw at her just to stay. Did she tell the girls of course not. They still thought everything was okay. Which they aren’t things are very far from being ok.

Renesmee didn’t mind to much. It did help keep her up. Which she was happy about, because if she was up she couldn’t sleep. But she hardly sleep anyways. If she didn’t sleep she couldn’t have the same night terror.

Which is the main reason she didn’t sleep in the first place. She’d rather go though all this pain just to keep those images out her head.

Renesmee closes her eyes as she dances the same dance for like the 80th time. The choreographer hums watching her and he grabs one of the canes and throws it at her feet.

“Wake up!” He yells just as the cane rolls under her foot as she steps down. Renesmee gasp feeling her foot slip. She hits the floor twisting her ankle.

“Get up and start over.”

“Yes sir.” Renesmee looks at her ankle seeing the bruises from the other day still there. She quickly pushes herself up and starts dancing again.

Once she finishes doing the dance for the 1000th time she makes her way to the meeting room. “About time you got here.”

Renesmee bows apologizing to everyone. Once she is seated they start the meeting about the tour. “Now we already went over everything with you and the girls but we may add something.”

Renesmee nods sitting there listening to them. After 6 hours of sitting there her manager walks in. “What are you doing in here?”

Renesmee jumps standing up bowing. “Uh um…” Renesmee looks around the room not sure what to say. “They asked me for my help.” She lies looking at the floor biting her lip.

“Go back to the dorm now!” He says looking at her and she bows grabbing her bag limping out. “I told you all to leave her alone.”

He says scolding the others as he stands there. “You stay out of this.” One man says pointing at him.

Her manager smirks folding his arms. “Leave her alone you don’t know who you are messing with.” He speaks watching them.

“You are doing nothing but causing trouble for everyone.”

“No that….th…that thing…” The man speaks getting angry. “That unruly rude black fat ass is causing trouble!” He says and the other nod standing behind him.

“Back off or else last warning.” Her manager says before walking out the room.

February 14, 2019

“And next time you call your manager for help we won’t be so easy on you.” One of the males in suits says kicking Renesmee again she lays on the floor.

“Now get up!” One yells looking at her and she winces as she struggles to get up. “That’s a good girl now why don’t you put on your happy smile like always and go before you cause more trouble.” He speaks patting her cheek laughing.

Renesmee nods smiling as she picks up her bag. She sighs as she walks out the room closing her eyes. Renesmee makes her way to the bathroom closing the door.

She looks at the sink coughing tasting the blood in her mouth. “You can get through this….” She speaks closing her eyes. “You promised you wouldn’t leave them….”

Renesmee spits into the sink sighing. “Just do as they say….don’t cause trouble….” She keeps speaking as she fights to keep standing up. “Don’t let anyone know….don’t let them see you cry…don’t show them the pain….”

“Don’t ask for help….you can take the abuse….” She says her voice shaking as she covers her mouth. She winces in pain biting her lip. “Being bullied and abuse is nothing new to you….just have to keep quiet until it’s over.”

“Keeping quiet is the only way you’ll live….” Renesmee nods wiping her face as she fixes her hair. “Just keep smiling like always.”

Renesmee nods before pulling out her phone. “I need to buy bandages and wraps, also pain pills for ankle and ribs.” She says typing on her phone making a list. “Oh and a wrap for my wrist, gotta hide these bruise till they disappear.”

Renesmee smiles nodding as she looks at her list. “Right now smiles and be happy.” She says putting her phone back in her pocket as she walks out.

Renesmee walks down the hall bowing to everyone smiling. “Noona!” Chenle and Jisung screams running over to her. Chenle smiles hugging her.

“Hey boys.” She says hugging them laughing ignoring the pain. As they stand there Renesmee looks up seeing WinWin walk over. He bows looking at her. “Hey WinWin.”

“Hi….uh manager hyung is looking for you two.” WinWin says looking at Chenle and Jisung. They both pout looking back a Renesmee.

“Go we can hangout later promise.” She says letting them go. They both nod before running off again. “Well I’ll see you around.” She nods as she turns to walk off.

“Umm noona could you make me some of that stuff too.” WinWin asks rubbing the back of his neck. He looks at the floor biting his lip.

“Really you want some too?” Renesmee asks speaking in Chinese. WinWin hums looking back up hearing her.

“Well I tried some of hyung and it was good.” He says finally looking at her and he smiles shyly. Renesmee nods pulling her phone out making a note.

“Okay when I make theirs I’ll make you some too.” She says nodding putting her phone up. WinWin stands there watching her for a bit. “Is there something wrong?”

WinWin blinks shaking his head. “I uh well you seem close with other people…” He starts off rubbing the back of his head. “Uh I…you…can we…never mind….”

Renesmee smiles covering her mouth. “Are you saying you want to be close with me like the others?” She says biting back a giggle and WinWin looks back at her hearing her.

“You do know I not really close with everyone.” She asks and he nods looking at her. “I love to be close friends with you but…”

WinWin hums watching her as he tilts his head. “But what…why can’t we be close?” He asks and she giggles covering her mouth again.

“I like skinship as to where you don’t.” Renesmee says rocking on her toes looking up at him. WinWin smiles looking down at the floor then back at her.

“For you I can handle it.” He says putting his hands in his pockets. She smiles back at him tilting her head to the side. WinWin looks at her in disbelief. “There’s no way you were born in 95.”

“Yup in China on the 24th year of the pig.” She says looking up at him. WinWin lifts a brow watching her. She smiles watching his face. “The fans are right you are cute.”

WinWin covers his face feeling his face get red. Renesmee smiles biting her lip watching him. WinWin groans wiping his face shaking his head.

“No I won’t let you win, I can handle the teasing and skinship.” He says sounding like he was trying to convince himself more than her.

“Do you think you can?” She asks and he closes his eyes nodding. WinWin opens his eyes looking at her.

“Unnie!” Eunjin runs over to her with Moka and Yiyang. “Guess what!”

WinWin looks at them bowing and they bow back. “What?” Renesmee asks looking at them and Moka pulls out her phone.

“Our mv has over 10 million views within 3 hours.” Moka says showing Renesmee and she hums looking at the screen. Yiyang smiles nodding looking at the screen.

WinWin pulls out his phone pulling up the video. “I see well then we should go we have a stage today.” Renesmee looks at them then back at WinWin. “Bye bye Sicheng.”

Renesmee says waving to him as she leaves. WinWin freezes hearing her use his real name. He blushes waving back before going to find the others.

“Let’s go girls.” Their manager says walking pass them. They nod following him to the vans. Once they get there the girls get ready for their stage.

Renesmee manager pulls Renesmee to the side looking at her. “Are you okay?” He asks looking at her and Renesmee bites her lip pulling free.

“I can’t cause trouble.” She says backing away from him. He looks at her then looks at her arm. “I’m fine I don’t need he….”

She starts to speaks but he grabs her arm and she gasp as he pushes against her side. Renesmee falls to her knees shaking and he sighs. “Your ribs are bruised and so is your arm.”

Renesmee groans pulling free getting back up. “I get your my manager but you are making it worse.” She closes her eyes going back to the others.

The girls get on stage getting ready to prerecord One Wish. Once they finish they go and get change for their live stage.

“Hey sis you okay you’re starting to shake?” Jisoo says placing her hand on Renesmee shoulder. Renesmee grabs her tumblr taking a sip of her drink.

“Yeah I’m fine sis.” Renesmee smiles looking up at her as she sits there. Jisoo smiles nodding before walking to the door. “Let’s go out there and have fun.”

February 24, 2019

Renesmee walks up to NCT dorm holding some bags. She knocks on the door waiting smiling as she hears Ten and Jungwoo fighting to get to the door.

“Really guys calm down.” Johnny says opening the door. “Nessie!” He says smiling and she bows watching him.

“You wanna grab the boxes right there?” She steps to the side ticking her head to the side. She steps inside bowing to the others. Johnny nods walking over grabbing the boxes following her.

She walks down the hall following the sound of the yelling boys. “Noona!” Chenle says seeing Renesmee and she smiles.

WinWin pulls him back walking up to Renesmee in three steps. “Happy birthday.” He says speaking Chinese and Renesmee hums as he hugs her.

“Hey!” Chenle says looking at WinWin as he wraps his arms around Renesmee. Renesmee giggles watching him and she looks up at WinWin.

“I’m her baby back off.” Chenle says pulling Renesmee away from him and she looks at him.

“How are you her baby?” Taeyong asks sitting there watching him. Renesmee hugs Chenle then bows to the others setting the bags down.

“Since when are you her baby?”

“Since she told me I was.” Chenle says looking at Taeyong and he smirks.

“He’s not lying.” She adds.

“Here you go boys.” Renesmee smiles as she pulls out the tumblrs. “Are you all making sure that you are washing the others out?” She asks before looking at WinWin handing his.

“Wow I get my own?” He asks and she nods smiling.

“Yeah you have to have your own it has your own symbol.” She says looking at him smiling and he nods.

“This is how you spend your birthday?” Taeil asks watching her and she nods. “Really?”

“Well they were doing one of those things where I can spend my birthday with the fans but…”

“You’re not going are you?” Johnny asks taking his new tumblr. Renesmee bites her lip sighing before looking at him.

“No one will be there, so why go?” She says looking at him and he shakes his head. “Plus for some reason my manager doesn’t want me up at the company at night anymore.”

“Because you over work yourself.” Ten says sitting on the couch looking at her. He grabs his tumblr taking a swig.

“Anyways no mixing them you guys.” She speaks pushing her hair back. Johnny opens one box.

“Why does this one have my name and that has Chenle?” Jisung asks looking at the boxes.

“I talked to your boys manager getting info; only drink from the one with your name.” She points to them and they nod.

“It will help with your health and diet.” She rubs her neck tilting her head to the side. “This should last till the end of next month.”

Johnny nods smiling picking up one box. Taeyong grabs one and Ten grabs the last one. “We had to convince our manager we needed a second fridge for this stuff.”

Jisung says as they put the boxes up to keep them cold. Jungwoo and Kun come walking back holding some bags. “Happy birthday noona.”

They say handing her the bags and she gasps holding them. “You didn’t have to get me anything.” She says looking at them then down at the bags.

“We know but we saw them and knew we had to get it.” Kun says smiling as he watches her. “Besides we have the other set.”

“Yeah we had to ask Jisoo noona for your size.” Jungwoo says nodding and Renesmee laughs as she nods pulling out the jacket.

Mark walks in with Haechan holding bags as well. “We got you something too.” They say putting them on the table.

“We all got you something.” Jaehyun smiles bringing more bags out and Renesmee covers her mouth looking at the bags.

“Yeah some of us did the couple clothes and some of us got you other stuff.” Doyoung speaks and she nods looking at everything.

“You’ll know what is from who.” Mark says nodding and she hums.

“Oh me and Ten got you extra stuff to go along more with our group.” Taeyong says looking at the bag then smiles pointing to the black bag.

Ten smiles wrapping his arms around Renesmee. “For our devil leader.” He says and she tilts her head looking at him.

“Speaking of devil I may have a few new songs for us.” She says wiggling out his arms picking up some of the bags. “But I have to go so I will talk to you boys later.”

WinWin grabs some bags as Jungwoo takes the ones from Renesmee hands and she pouts. “Bye.” Chenle says hugging her.

“Bye bye my baby.” Renesmee smiles again hugging him. Renesmee then bows to the others waving bye. She heads to the door walking outside to her car.

“Thanks boys.” She says thanking them as she bows. The boys shake their head putting the bags in the car. She hugs them bye before getting into the car.

Renesmee looks at her phone sighing as she takes off down the road. She makes her way to EXO house looking at the time. She walks up to the door knocking carrying three boxes.

Chanyeol opens the door and hums seeing the boxes. “Uh?” He says looking down and Renesmee tilts her head hearing him. He jumps back then takes the boxes.

Renesmee follows him inside looking around. “Nessie is here.” Chanyeol says and Jongin jumps up running over taking a box then the bag out of her hand.

“My supply is here yes.” Jongin says smiling pulling out his tumblr. Renesmee bows to the others looking at the floor. “Why haven’t you been answering my calls and text?”

“Umm busy?” She says looking down at her feet thinking. “Yeah I was busy.” She nods biting her lip.

“You’re fucking lying Nessie.” He quips watching her. Chanyeol walks back from the kitchen holding his tumblr.

“Okay wolf boy you have your supply take it easy.” She says looking back towards the door. “Wolves don’t even drink blood.”

“Not true.” Kyungsoo says walking out the kitchen. “When wolves kill their prey they drink the blood as they eat the meat.”

He stands there drinking from his tumblr. “Right.” Renesmee says backing away nodding.

“Happy birthday!” Minseok says walking over hugging her. Renesmee closes her eyes sighing. “You don’t sound happy?”

“No um it’s not that just a little hard to breathe.” She says pushing her hair back stepping away from him. “To many hugs today.”

“But you love hugs.” Baekhyun says watching her and she looks away.

“Nessie your ankle has been swollen for a good while now why?” Junmyeon asks looking at her and she freezes.

“I have to go, I still have to stop by Red Velvet sunbaemin.” Renesmee turns walking back to the door but Chanyeol grabs her wrist.

“Ow!” She screams looking at his hand. He pushes her sleeve up looking at her. Renesmee whimpers trying to pull free.

“There are bruises all over her arms.” Chanyeol says looking at the others.

“I’m sure that’s not the only place either.” Jongdae says and she looks over at him.

“Stop running.” Chanyeol says pulling her back and she sighs. Renesmee looks at the floor pulling free.

“Like I told my manager I’m not going to cause trouble.” Renesmee looks up at him before looking away. “Don’t worry about me beside you boys have a tour to worry about.”

Renesmee starts to walk away but stops looking up seeing Jongin. “What are you hiding?” He says looking at her and she sighs shaking her head.

“Move.”

“No.”

Renesmee scoffs looking away. “See I can get past NCT but you boys notice everything.” She folds her arms watching him.

Renesmee pulls her sleeve down sighing as she shakes her head. “What did you mean Chen?” Minseok asks looking at him.

“That’s because we care about you.” Sehun says and the others nods agreeing with him.

“Thank you but I’m fine.”

“Are you really leaving?” Jongdae asks standing up and she freezes hearing him. “Are the stories true about what’s been going on?”

“How do you know about that?” Renesmee speaks her voice cold and hard as she turns to look at him. “I made sure they were taken down.”

Jongdae shakes his head looking at her. “Well I was watching a video and it popped up.” He speaks watching her and she scoffs.

“What are you talking about?” Junmyeon asks looking at Jongdae.

“They we’re kicking her out after their first tour; she’s been getting hurt just….”

“Don’t.” Renesmee says looking at him her eyes cold and hard. She stands there her heart pounding. “Don’t say another word.” She balls her fist up as she stand there.

“What is going on?” Kyungsoo steps up looking at her and she sighs. “Start talking.” He says his voice hitting her and she looks up.

“I’m not leaving and my ankle is swollen because I fell during practice.” She says lying looking at them. “They told me to stay off of it but I don’t listen so that’s why it’s like that.”

“I really think it’s cute how you all worry about me…” Renesmee bows to them smiling as she stands back up. “But really I’m fine I promise you guys.”

“Fine we’ll let it go.” Junmyeon says nodding before walking to his room. He walks back holding a box.

“Not you too.” She whines pouting looking at the wrapped gift box. “I said no presents.” She looks at the box taking it and Junmyeon just laughs.

“Hey I’m not the only one.” He says and she looks back seeing the other gifts on the table.

“Just put them with the rest in the car.” She pouts looking at the floor. Chanyeol and Junmyeon grab the gifts taking them to the car.

“Hey hyung where is your gift?” Jongin asks looking at the gifts as they carry them out. Kyungsoo shakes his head walking off drinking his drink.

“Shouldn’t you be sleeping or something.” He replies and Renesmee covers her mouth trying not to laugh.

“D.O oppa I’m fine really you don’t have to look so worried.” She says and he stops looking back at her. Renesmee smiles looking at him and he nods.

“Since when are you two friends again?” Baekhyun asks looking at them.

“Don’t ruin it.” Kyungsoo says looking at Baekhyun before heading to his room. Renesmee looks back at Jongin with a smirk.

“Wipe that smirk off your face or I talk.” Jongin says and her face drops as she stands there. “That’s what I thought.”

“Are you always this mean?” She asks looking at him. “Bye and thank you.” Renesmee says leaving heading to Red Velvet dorm.

Once Renesmee drops off their supply she heads back to the dorm. She sighs as she makes about 10 trips back and forth bring her gifts into her room.

“Can’t believe I have to sit out of promotions because of my ankle.” She says changing clothes. She sits on the bed wrapping her ankle back up.

She rest her head on her knee sighing. “Maybe there is a way around this?” She says looking at her foot as she wiggles her toes.

Renesmee looks over hearing her phone ring. “Hello.” She says standing up grabbing her bag.

“Well are you coming down?” Kyungsoo says and she smirks walking out the door. Renesmee end the call heading outside. As she walks out she pulls her hat down looking at her phone.

She opens the door getting into the car looking at him. She buckled up as she closes the door. “You know for someone who said they are to busy to date you don’t seem too busy.”

“Shut up.” He says pulling down the street and she just laughs. “So want to tell me the rest of the truth.”

“I do but I can’t at least not right now.” Renesmee says looking down at her lap. Kyungsoo hums reaching over with one hand grabbing hers. “Like I said before I’m okay promsie.”

She looks at him and he nods lifting her hand up to his lips. “Okay good.” He smiles holding her hand.

“So what did you get me?” She asks and he just laughs hearing her.

“You have to wait.” He says and she pouts looking at him. “Mm the pout won’t work on me.”

“Fine where are we going?” Renesmee asks pulling her phone out her pocket.

“Well seeing how it’s too cold to go to your favorite spot I called your mom and ask can we use the house.” Kyungsoo says looking at her and she hums tilting her head.

“You seem very close with my mom.” Renesmee says as she leans in closer looking at him. Kyungsoo nods looking back at the road as he drives. “Why is that?”

“One because she helped me and two your surprise is at the house.” He deadpans and her face lights up.

“To the house!” She points sitting back up smiling. Kyungsoo laughs shaking his head turning the corner. After a few more minutes of driving Kyungsoo pulls into the driveway parking.

He looks over at her before turning the car off. “Come on before you pass out from excitement.” He says getting out the car and she smiles following him.

“Are you going to tell me now?” Renesmee asks walking behind him holding his hand. Kyungsoo shakes his head opening the door. “Come on please.”

“Calm down okay.” He says laughing walking in taking his shoes off. Renesmee takes her shoes off before looking back up.

“I smell chicken!” She says running down the hall. Kyungsoo laughs closing the door before following her. “Ahhh a giant penguin!”

Renesmee yells jumping up and down clapping her hands. She runs over to it jumping on top of it. Kyungsoo laughs watching her as he takes her picture.

“It’s so fluffy!”

Renesmee smiles hugging the giant plushie penguin. She then looks up hearing him as he walks over. “Having fun?” He asks sitting on the couch next to her.

“Yes!” She smiles still laying on top of the penguin. Kyungsoo laughs before patting the spot next to him.

“There’s more.”

“Really?” She asks sitting up and he nods pulling a few bags out. “Ooh gimmie gimmie.” She says sitting next to him and he laughs covering his mouth.

Kyungsoo smiles handing her the first bag. Renesmee looks at the bag smiling. “What is it?” She says looking back at him.

“Open it silly.”

Renesmee hums taking the paper out looking in the bag. “No way you got me the new gaming controllers and headphones.” She screams tapping her feet on the floor smiling.

“I know how much you love gaming so why not.” He says handing her another bag. She bites her lip still smiling.

“Ahhhh!” She screams again pulling the paper out seeing part of the outfit already. “Constellation and galaxies pjs and hats.”

“Yes and the other bag has them as well but hoodies.” He says watching her then looks back at the kitchen. She nods hugging her pjs feeling the material.

“What’s next?”

“Here.” He says handing her a box.

Renesmee hums looking at the box as she holds it. She shakes the box holding it up to her ear. “Really?” He sits there watching her tilting his head.

“Just open it already.”

Renesmee smiles ripping the paper off tossing it to the floor. “Hmmm aren’t these yours?” She asks looking at the sweaters.

“Yes they are I know you love taking my sweaters when ever you get the chance.”

He says standing going to check on the food. “I even know that you ask Kai or Chanyeol to take them and give them to you.” He says watching the chicken and she hums her face heating up.

“That’s cause they smell like you.”

“Mmhmm but there still more.” He says taking the chicken out the fryer. “Look under the sweaters.”

Renesmee hums going through the sweaters. “Well what is it?” She asks trying to find what he is talking about. As she lifts one of the sweaters a black box fall to the floor.

“Huh?”

Renesmee leans down picking the box up. Kyungsoo looks back over watching her as he fixes their plates. She sits back up looking at the box pushing the sweaters and hoodies to the side.

“Are you going to open it?” He asks pouring two glasses of wine. She slowly blinks nodding as she bites her lip opening the box. Kyungsoo smiles watching her face as her eyes widen in shock.

Renesmee covers her mouth seeing the heart necklace. Kyungsoo reaches over taking the necklace out the box holding it up. “I had it custom made.”

Renesmee turns her head looking at him. “Added the wings and a shooting star.” He says smiling and she blinks looking back at the necklace. Kyungsoo tilts his head looking at her and he chuckles.

“Do you not like it?”

Renesmee shakes her head processing his words. “Turn around so I can put it on you.” He speaks watching her and she slowly turns her back to him. She reaches back moving her hair out the way.

Kyungsoo chuckles watching as she moves slowly and he places the necklace around her neck. “Your own wishing star.” He says as he clips the hook on and she lets go of her hair looking back at him.

“Happy birthday Tweety bird.” He says looking at her. Renesmee leans into him tilting her head. She blinks gently placing her hand on his thigh as she leans in.

Kyungsoo looks at her sitting there with his hands in his lap. Renesmee presses her lips against his closing her eyes. Kyungsoo tilts his head closing his eyes.

Kyungsoo reaches up with his hand touching her cheek gently rubbing his thumb across. Renesmee slowly pulls back looking at him. “I love you.”

Kyungsoo looks at her smiling and he nods. “I love you too.” He says before kissing her again. Renesmee grabs his other hand leaning into him more smiling. She pulls away hiding her face in the crook of his neck.

Kyungsoo chuckles looking down at her. “What has gotten into you?” He laughs watching her and she shakes her head. “Come on lets eat now.”

Run, Little Rabbit, Run: Chapter 5

A/N: I’m so sorry my darling little pumpkins!! This is a late post due to storm preparations.... again. Thank you all so much for the outpour of love you guys continue to give!! I wish I could hug each and every one of you!! As always lmk if there are any mistakes and if you’d like to be added to the tag list!! Well, here’s chapter 5, enjoy!! Smooches!! Baron Corbin x OFC Word Count: 1000+ Warnings: Language, talk of dead parents, talk of terminal illness. If this triggers you at all please proceed with caution!! I want my little pumpkins happy and comfortable!! Summary: Run, Addie, the Constable is coming for you..... +++ Michael Cole was walking down one of the vacant hallways trying to clear his head before Raw started. Most of the staff was already there, setting up and making friendly conversation amongst each other. He was quietly preparing for the show when he heard something. It was so soft that he thought maybe it was his ears playing tricks on him, but as he traveled further into the hallway the noise became louder. Following the sound, he quietly made his way around some stacked crates when he found Addie sitting on the floor, silently crying. He had come to really enjoy his friendship with Addie, she was fun to be around and could carry on a conversation easily. Michael crouched in front of her, careful not to scare her. “Addie?” Michael gently whispered. Her head snapped up, a startled whimper escaping her lips. She quickly tried to compose her while she swiftly wiped her tears away. “M-Mr. Cole!” She sniffled, “Sorry, you caught me off g-guard.” She said, trying to smile. “Why are you crying, sweetie?” He gently inquired. “Oh, it’s nothing, reall-“ “Hey, it’s me, Addie.” Michael said, sitting on the floor next to her, wrapping a friendly arm around her shoulders, “Talk to me.” Sighing, Addie looked down at the phone in her hands as fresh tears streamed down her cheeks. Michael patiently held her while she sobbed. After a few minutes she composed herself, thanking him when he offered her his handkerchief. “I, uh.... I got a call from my doctor, I wasn’t feeling well a few weeks ago so I went in to have some tests run and some blood work done.” She swallowed the lump that was in her throat. “It seems that after seven years of being in remission, my cancer decided make a comeback.” She finally looked at Michael, a sadness in her eyes. Eyes that once held joy and hope. Michael was really the only person aware that Addie was a cancer survivor, something he found out when the WWE would work with the Susan G. Komen foundation. One of the ladies that had been honored for beating her bout with cancer had recognized Addie from their cancer survivor support group. Michael had witnessed the two women reuniting with hugs and tears of joy. He pulled Addie into a hug, shushing her sobs. “I’m so sorry sweetie. You’ll kick this! Just like you did when you were younger.” He reassured her, furrowing his brows when she sadly shook her head. “It doesn’t look hopeful. The doctors gave me a year at most.” She told him, her voice full of sorrow. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. At least I had my dad with me when I went through this the first time, but now, I have no one.” Addie had lost her father in a car accident almost three years ago and her mother died during childbirth, leaving her an only child. Addie had gone through a great deal of heartache that no 28 year old should have to suffer. “I, I don’t want to die alone in some hospital bed.” She whispered, “When I die, I want it to be outside, on a blanket at night.” Michael watched with a heavy heart as such a young woman had to contemplate how she had to die. “I want the stars to be the last thing I see.” She felt Michael give her shoulder a tight squeeze, drawing her attention to him. “I’ll be here every step of the way.” He said, kissing her forehead. “Thank you, Mr. Cole. Please don’t tell anyone.” Knowing that he couldn’t keep that promise, he simply nodded. —- “How long have you known?” Baron asked. “Three agonizing months.” Michael said as he wiped away a few tears. “In a few months the cancer will have spread throughout her entire body and... and...” Michael covered his mouth to hold in his sobs. Baron couldn’t explain the tightness he felt in his chest at the thought of Addie dying. She was just a human, why the hell did she captivate him so much? He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Michael’s voice. “Baron, do you think, oh never mind.” Michael stopped himself, standing up to leave but was stopped when Baron grabbed his arm. “What were you going to say?” Baron asked. “It’s nothing.” Baron flashed his eyes, growling, warning Michael not to disobey his Alpha. Michael closed his eyes, presenting his neck, surrendering to Baron. “Now, what were you going to ask me?” Baron asked calmly, not missing the way Cole rested an uneasy had on this mysterious bag of his. He released Michael but not before nudging his forehead with his own and sat down at the foot of his bed. He may be a lot of things, but he was a fair alpha to his pack. He’d never intentionally hurt one of his own. “It’s rare, only been done successfully a few times.“ He explained. Pulling out an old leather bound book from his bag, Michael opened it, quickly turning the pages until he found the one he was looking for. “It’s been said that a dying human can be saved by a bite from a werewolf, but it can’t be just any werewolf, it has to be the bite of an alpha.” Michael handed the book to Baron, pointing to the old inscription: ‘One who layeth dying can escape his fate by the bite of a lycanthrope alpha. If bitten seconds from demise, he shall never taste death. But take heed, if a lesser lycanthrope were to perform such a ritual, both shall meet a most gruesome end.’ “Why don’t you just cast some kind of spell on her?!” Baron asked, annoyed. It was no secret that Michael was not only a werewolf but a warlock as well. His mother was a witch, a damn good one at that and her magic flowed through her son’s veins. “You don’t think I’ve tried?! I’ve read every spell, every potion and every single book I could get my hands on! I personally asked Aleister if he or anyone in his coven had any spells or rituals that could be used to save her, but there’s nothing that can be done for Addie without her paying a huge price!” He nearly yelled, frustrated by his own inadequacy. “I even thought about going to Finn, but a deal made with the Demon King himself comes with a heavy toll!! What would you have me do? Go to Pete and let him or one of his clan members turn Addie into a vampire?!” By now he was flailing his arms in anger. Taking a deep breath, calming himself down, he sat next to Baron on the foot of the bed. “Look, I know it’s risky and hasn’t been tried in decades, I’d be asking a lot of both you and Addie, but it’s worth a try isn’t it?” “Ok, but why would I risk it? If she dies because of my bite, that’s blood on our hands.” Baron spat, getting up and pacing angrily back and forth. “I think we both know the answer to that, Alpha.” Cole said quietly. “Oh really? You have all the answers, right?” Baron’s temper starting to get the best of him. “Think about it, you’ve had dozens of women in your life, hardly ever seeing the same one twice. Your wolf has never once scented any of them nor had the desire to. I barely mention that Dolph wants her and you immediately feel yourself losing control of your anger. I’ll bet my last dollar that you’re fighting the urge to tear him apart as we speak!” Michael said, a small smirk playing in his lips. “What the hell’s your point, Cole?!” “She’s your luna.” —- *a/n: so I realize that this may not be common knowledge so a Luna is the alpha female, or mate to the alpha. She’s second only to the alpha!! Hope this helps!

fantasy au shit

ok so to celebrate 1000 followers im posting more of this fantasy au shit i posted the first part at like 400 followers so if you haven’t read it part one here

Consciousness dawned sluggishly, resting on Phoenix like a thin blanket. As he peacefully grew more and more aware, he could hear a faint voice quietly chanting over him. Another few seconds, and he could understand the words.

“Revera, revera…” A woman’s voice intoned, using a spell Phoenix recognized to slowly revive him.

Unfortunately, the world was not so patient. “Hey! Spikey-guy! Wake up!” Another voice screamed into his ear.

Phoenix jerked awake. He nearly bumped heads with the person who had screamed. She was a teenager, no more than seventeen, with black hair bundled into a little topknot.

“Maya, stop that.” Mia chided from nearby. The baker looked to pinpoint where the woman was, in the process recognizing the inside of his own house.

How did I get here? How did they get here?

The leader, the one who had been chanting, leaned down to look over him. “How are you, Phoenix?”

“I… I'm not alright!” The baker could still feel a burn in his chest, ruling out the possibility of the events before being a dream. He didn't dare to look at the heart shaped mark the pendant left. It would surely scar.

“Dollie hurt me! Why would she do that?” Phoenix searched for answers in the leader’s face. “ Wh-Why would she hurt me?”

He could feel treacherous tears welling up, and turned away before the others could see them fall.

The leader sighed heavily. “...It isn't your fault. If anything, it's ours. Dahlia Hawthorne is an estranged member of the Fey clan. Throughout the years, there have been many of us who have used their powers for nefarious purposes. Dahlia was one of those, and after much deliberation the clan agreed to take her powers away. Her magic was stored in the bottle of that necklace,” she gestured at Phoenix’s burn.

“Dahlia would only ever be able to have her powers return if the necklace was given to her voluntarily by someone not in the family.” The woman met Phoenix’s eyes. “...I guess she talked you into doing that?”

The baker nodded miserably. That does make this my fault.

“Um, Mystic Misty?” A quiet voice piped up “I brought the object that you wanted…” The speaker was a tiny, seven year old girl with mousy brown hair twisted into strange loops. She held a candlestick.

“Thank you, Pearly.” The leader, Misty, took the candle from her, and little girl retreated.  “Phoenix, do you mind giving us some light?”

“What?” Phoenix pushed away his tears. “Oh. R-Right.” He touched the candle and closed his eyes. He frowned.

The flicker of fire on his fingertips that had come to him so easily throughout his life was nowhere to be found. No matter how hard he strained, he couldn’t produce any fire. “I can't!”

“I was afraid of this.” This time, it was Mia who spoke. “You're cursed.”

“C-Cursed?”

“Dahlia couldn't take revenge on those who took her powers away from her, so she did the next best thing she could; she stole away your magic powers. Do you remember her casting any spells like that?”

I can't use magic, I can't use magic… The loud, destabilizing mantra rang around in Phoenix’s head, making it hard to think.

“Of course not.” The baker chuckled in disbelief. “There has to be some mistake! She can't take away my powers! That's dark magic!”

“Dahlia’s not the person that you thought she was, I'm afraid,” Misty said grimly.

Everything slowed. He could feel the blood rushing through his ears, the thoughts swirling in his head. What am I supposed to do without magic? It's all I've had. It's everything I've worked for! What about my family line? What about my business? I’ve never had to bake without magic! If I can't bake… if I'm not a mage, what am I?

“I have to have magic! I’ve just got to!”

Mia’s surprisingly sympathetic voice cut through his panicky haze. “Phoenix. Think back. Try to remember what she said to you. Did she say there a way to reverse this?”

The ex-mage took a deep breath. He tried to focus. “Uh. She did say something… b-but I don't remember what! Oh Dollieeee!” This time, the tears did spill over, flooding down his cheeks.

Mia’s sigh sounded suspiciously close to “of course.”

“We’ll have to figure it out together. You're our responsibility now,” Misty said.

“What?” Maya squawked. She fell off the foot of Phoenix’s bed with a loud thud, startling Phoenix. He'd forgotten the girl was there.

Pearl directed an inquisitive look at Misty, gnawing on her thumbnail.

Phoenix sniffled pathetically. “Really?”

“Really?” Mia said flatly.

Misty nodded. “I'm sorry, Phoenix. Dahlia has already been on our radar for years. If we had been more careful, this could have all been prevented. This is a Fey matter. You never should have gotten caught up in it at all.”

The ex-mage gaped, wiping his runny nose on the hem of his sleeve.

“We’re honor bound to help you get your powers back.” Misty bowed.

Mia groaned quietly.

“This is going to take forever!” Maya hopped up from the floor. “No offense,” she added, glancing at Phoenix.

Just because you say that, doesn't mean that the hurt goes away...

Pearl didn't say anything at all. She stared at Phoenix as if his soul was laid bare before her. It was kind of unnerving, really.

The leader huffed. “It won't take that long. We keep the most of our powerful magical artifacts stored in the castle. Odds are one of them will have a solution to your little dilemma.”

“In the…” Phoenix blinked and wiped away the last of his tears. “Wait, does that mean…”

Misty grinned cheekily at him, “Ever been inside the King’s castle?”

The Kingdom did not have the most fanciful of castles. Quite the opposite. Very much like the King himself, the castle was square, robust, and practical. That was where the similarities ended. The castle was otherwise unremarkable. Gregory Edgeworth, by contrast, was remarkable among rulers: known throughout the realm as a just leader who cared about his subjects.

Despite Phoenix living only half a day’s travel away from the castle and having seen the King on public occasions, it had never been in an individual setting. It was fair to say that Phoenix was a tiny bit nervous.

Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods…! What do I say to him? What do I do? I've got to bow, right? But how low? What are the Feys going to do? Maybe I can do what they do?

“Hold,” Misty called, putting her hand up. The Feys stopped. Phoenix bumped into Pearl.

In front of the leader was a stony lamp post. It held no light and seemed to serve no purpose. The only out-of-the-ordinary thing about it was a swirling mark with a star on it etched in the stone at about chest height. A rune.

Misty traced the spiraled rune with a finger. Sparks flew up in the wake of her fingertip. There was a grinding sound and all of a sudden, the drawbridge of the castle was down.

Misty turned and met eyes with Phoenix, grinning. “I always love that part.”

The Feys turned and started to cross the drawbridge as if nothing unusual had happened at all. Mouth hanging open, Phoenix looked at the castle with new respect. Clearly there was more than met the eye.

Briefly, he tried to run his finger over the rune in a vain hope, but nothing happened. Phoenix hurried to catch up with the others on the bridge.

By the time he had drawn even with the Feys, the King had already arrived. Gregory’s countenance brightened upon seeing the company. He strode over to them, stopping just short of the eldest Fey.

“Misty,” he greeted with a genuine smile, unlike any Phoenix had ever seen. “It's been far too long.”

“I agree,” Misty hummed, eyes alight with amusement.

The two stood looking at one another for another moment before Misty broke and launched herself at the King in a hug, laughing.

“I missed you, you cretin.” Misty pecked Gregory’s cheek quickly.

Phoenix's jaw dropped. Did she just call the King a cretin? And kissed him? Does she want to get herself killed?

To his endless astonishment, King Gregory didn't even slightly mad. If anything, the man was flustered.

“...I’m glad to see you too.” The King managed at last. “You didn’t write. How long do you think you'll be staying?”

“Probably not very long, unfortunately. We’re here because we have a little situation to fix.” Misty glanced over at Phoenix.

One of Phoenix’s hands entangled itself in the hair on the nape of his neck as the King’s full attention turned to him. Gregory seemed just as uncomfortable as he did at having been seen in a moment of unprofessionalism.

“Ah. Of course,” the King cleared his throat. “I wish you luck with your… situation.”

“Thanks, Your Majesty,” Phoenix grinned sheepishly. I can’t believe I’m talking to the King of the whole realm! “I really appreciat-”

“That reminds me,” Clearly Mia didn’t realize what a big moment this was for him. “We should get started. The sooner we fix this mess, the sooner we can catch Dahlia.”

“Dahlia?” King Gregory’s tone was one of worried surprise.

“I’ll explain it all later,” Misty promised.

“Sis’ got a good point! Let’s go use Nick as a spell-dummy!” Maya grabbed Phoenix by the arm and started to tug him across the courtyard.

Spell-dummy? “Wait, no!”

“We’re not going to do it like that, Maya.”

“You’re no fun.”

“Nice to see you again, Sir King Gregory!” Pearl chirped.

The King smiled gently, kneeling down to her height. “It’s very nice to see you as well, Pearly. I’ll dispatch a messenger to tell you three when dinner is ready.”

“Thank you!” The little girl turned and skipped after the playfully quibbling sisters and the protesting Phoenix.

The afternoon went by quicker than Phoenix could imagine. At first, he couldn’t help but be stunned by the castle’s immense collection of magical objects. But eventually, even the most legendary of artifacts seemed to blur together as Mia, Maya, and Pearl all took turns harnessing the power of ancient potions, rings, goblets, hourglasses, statuettes, scepters, mirrors, and tomes in an attempt to cure him. More than once Mia had to reverse a carelessly cast spell (usually one of Maya’s) to ensure that something didn’t go horribly wrong. 

”Hey, this one says it can turn anything into ash!” Maya held up a crystal skull with far too much eagerness. Phoenix’s stomach turned.

Pearls bit her thumb, “Are you sure that’s a good idea?” She already had her hands full healing a welt on Phoenix’s arm from another one of Maya’s “good ideas.”

“He’s called Phoenix,” Maya shrugged. “I dunno, maybe he has to be turned into ash for the rebirth of his magic powers or whatever.”

“No.” Mia vetoed, not bothering to look up from her tome.

Thank you.

Grumbling, Maya turned away, making as if to put the skull away. But at the last minute she whirled around and cast a nasty-looking spell straight at Phoenix. The baker shoved Pearls out of the way, then jumped hard right to dodge it. Behind him, where the spell hit, a shelf of important looking magical texts started turning to ash before their eyes.

“Look. Are you sure there even is a cure?” Phoenix said, panting and doubled over his knees.

“Of course. Any magic that’s done...” Mia strode forward and, with the wave of her hand, returned the texts to their original form. She gave Maya a meaningful glance. “Must also be able to be undone.”

But after another few hours upon hours of spell upon spell with no results, all four of them were beginning to get tired and discouraged.

“I knew Dahlia was a feared mage, but I had no idea how powerful her dark magic was,” Mia muttered to herself.

Evening fell outside the castle windows and the group had to abandon their task halfway through for dinner. As they made their way down a winding staircase, Phoenix felt a tiny hand touch his back.

“Don’t worry, Sir Nick,” Pearl said. Although Maya’s nickname for him had taken off, the girl felt a need to add a level of respect to it. “I’m sure we’ll find out how to fix you!”

“Thanks, Pearls,” Phoenix muttered, feeling vaguely humiliated that he had to be reassured by a seven-year-old.

The four emerged into the large arched dining hall. There was one very long banquet table with only a few seats. On the table Phoenix was shocked to see that there wasn't much food.

Really, he wasn't sure what he was expecting. Probably plates filled with more mouth-watering meats than a butcher’s shop, delicate little sugary cakes and pies, and exotic spices that cost more than his entire home. For a castle, this banquet was shockingly ordinary.

Maya noticed his confusion. “The King said something about not wanting to live a life of plenty while some peasants live out there with so little. Y’know.”

“It's about class in-ee-qual-itty,” Pearls bit her thumbnail.

King Gregory himself was at the head of the table, an empty chair on his right and Misty on his left. The others Feys started to file into their seats. Phoenix followed suit, and found himself sandwiched between Maya and Pearl, sitting across from a strange man that he didn’t know.

“Oh, there you are! Any results?” Misty called out to them.

“Nothing’s working yet,” Mia said, sounding as dismayed as Phoenix looked.

Gregory frowned in sympathy, “I’m sure there’s a cure somewhere in there.”

“We’ve collected hundreds of magical artifacts over the years,” Misty chimed in.

“Yeah, and we’ve blown through half of them in one afternoon!” Maya said, sneaking a bite before she was supposed to.

“That still means there’s half of them to go!” Pearl chirped, far more optimistically.

I hope you’re right, Pearls.

Silence fell over the table as they waited for the last member to join them, and fill in the empty seat so they could begin the meal. Maya smuggled a few more furtive bites before Mia nudged her.

“He’s late,” the strange man across from Phoenix barked, breaking the silence.

“I’m sure the Prince is busy attending to his duties.” King Gregory said.

Before the man had a chance to respond with something nasty, the King continued. “Phoenix, I suppose you haven’t met. This is Manfred von Karma, the my advisor and second-in-command.”

Phoenix studied the Royal Advisor. He was an older man in a jeweled robe with long white hair. His face was etched in a permanent scowl.

“...Nice to meet you,” Phoenix lied.

Manfred’s eyes narrowed at him. “Who are you? Why are you here?”

“Uh, I—”

“I’m sorry I’m late.” A younger man swept into the room, closing the door behind him with a loud thud. He wore a red tunic with interwoven with an elaborate gold design. He bore an air of regality, and his prematurely gray hair just added to his distinguished aura. Phoenix knew immediately that this must be the Crown Prince.

“I was reading,” Prince Miles said. He took his place on his father’s right. He met Phoenix’s eyes and smiled at him.

“Reading what?” King Gregory sounded excited. Everyone at the table started to eat.

“Hmph! You let this boy get away with far too much, Your Majesty.”

Prince Miles’ attention swiveled. “Sir Manfred,” he greeted diplomatically. “If you're dining with us tonight, that must mean you have some news.”

“Fantastic. Just what I want to talk about at the dinner table. Politics,” Misty groused.

The King squeezed her hand and smiled apologetically. “It won't take long, dear.”

Manfred cleared his throat, rather self-importantly, Phoenix thought. “Yes. I come bearing news from the south-east.” He leaned forward, as if he was sharing a secret. “Your Majesty, there was another attack. They suspect the cause was rooted in magical extremism.”

Mia snorted with derision.

“Those damned mages have been at it for weeks! I recommend military action, Your Majesty. They must be stopped before they wipe the rest of us out!” Phoenix jumped as Manfred slammed his fist on the table to illustrate his point.

King Gregory looked uncomfortable. “My guards are stretched too thin right now to even consider military action. And, please, Manfred, I ask that you keep present company in mind when you talk about issues of magic.”

The mood at the table had shifted. Pearls and Maya picked at her food, keeping their heads ducked down. Mia was openly disgusted, and though Misty seemed more composed, her eyes were blazing.

“Of course. I apologize for my insensitivity.” He seemed more satisfied than sorry. “I am merely saying that there are some dangerous people out there. We need to take action soon so we don't find ourselves regretting inaction later.”

“Have you possibly considered,” Mia cut in, voice dripping with irritation, “that vilifying an entire group for the actions of a few is not only baseless fear-mongering, but also completely counterproductive and stupid.”

“...I have a headstrong daughter as well,” Manfred said in a deceitfully calm voice. He turned to look at Misty. “The difference is that I taught her respect.”

“Learn some yourself,” Mia snapped. “Excuse me.” She stood from the table and stormed off.

Wow.

Misty took a sip of her wine, but Phoenix swore he saw her grinning behind her goblet.

Not to be outdone, Manfred stood up and strode out of the room.

Those that remained at the table were silent for an unbearably lengthy moment.

Maya sprang up and hastily began stuffing rolls into her hood. “Well, looks like dinner’s over! Let’s go, Pearly!” She grabbed her cousin’s hand and practically sprinted from the room.

King Gregory blinked. The poor man had been caught in the middle of cutting his steak and been stuck that way for some time. “I suppose she's right. It does appear that dinner is over.” He set down his utensils, suddenly looking very old and tired. “I'm inclined to agree with her. Magic has been a huge asset to this kingdom, and making broad generalizations rarely does anyone any good. ...But that’s a discussion for another time. I’m going to retire for the evening. Good night, everyone.”

Misty followed him out, leaving Phoenix all alone with Prince Miles.

I wonder what he thinks of all this.

Phoenix studied the Prince’s face, but it was unreadable.

“...You must be Phoenix Wright.”

“That’s Wright,” Phoenix said immediately. He mentally kicked himself right after the words left his mouth. Stars, Phoenix! He’s a prince! You can’t just say stupid things like that to a prince!

Prince Miles frowned, “That was bad.”

Phoenix laughed and rubbed the back of his neck, desperately trying to alleviate his own idiocy. “Good thing I’m not a court jester, huh?”

“I don’t think you’d last very long in the profession.” He smiled and gave Phoenix a short bow. “My name is Miles Edgeworth. I’m prince of the realm.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Your Highness!” Phoenix stumbled over himself to bow in return. Prince Miles steadied him.

“There’s no need for that. Call me Miles. You’re our guest here. Ah, speaking of that...” The Prince trailed off, looking awkward. “You’ve come at a bit of a bad time. The Feys already occupy most of our guest rooms, and our last remaining one is under renovation. You’re to room with me. I’m hoping that’s not an issue...”

“Y-You would just let me—”

Prince Miles looked away, “It’s not ideal, but it isn’t completely unheard of. Mystic Misty and my father frequently share a chamber in order to leave other rooms free.”

Phoenix nodded quickly. “It’s not an issue for me.”

Silence lingered for a beat. The Prince’s gaze lingered on Phoenix’s face, expression still inscrutable. Finally, he seemed to realize that it was his turn to say something.

“Ah! But I’m being a poor host.“ Prince Miles coughed into his fist. “Would you like to see the royal gardens?“

Me, in the royal gardens?

“I’d love to!“

“Fantastic. I’ll show you the way then.” Prince Miles pushed open a door that lead outside, leaving Phoenix to follow.

Outside, evening had fallen and the stars shone bright overhead. Everything was quiet as the two walked through the castle's’ garden. Waist-high, neatly-trimmed hedges lined the path, interspersed with brightly colored flowerbeds. Magnificent trees with purple leaves looked on in the background.

Prince Miles kept walking, but Phoenix lagged behind, trying to take it all in.

“These gardens are gorgeous!”

“Thank you.”

“...Is dinner always that crazy?”

“Not typically. When Manfred is over, though...” The Prince paused, waiting for him to catch up.

Phoenix snorted. “He seems like a real piece of work.”

“He can be harsh, but he’s a brilliant man. That’s why Father keeps him around,” Prince Miles crossed his arms defensively. “He’s taught me a lot.”

“Sorry.” Phoenix wasn’t, really, but he didn’t need to go out of his way to insult the Prince’s tutor. Maybe there was more to the old coot than he knew.

Prince Miles unfolded his arms and looked curiously at Phoenix for a long moment. “Not that it’s any of my business, but what exactly is it that you do for a living?”

I can’t say I’m a mage. Not anymore.

“Oh, um, I’m just a baker.”

“I have to wonder,” The Prince said, glancing sidelong at Phoenix. They walked by a golden statue of a hooded woman bearing a seven pronged sword. “We’re not hiring at the moment. What’s a baker doing here at the castle?”

That’s really not something I want to get into.

“Sorry, but that’s on a knead-to-dough basis.”

Prince Miles groaned. There was a long pause, then, tentatively, the prince ventured, “That was a… crumby joke.”

Coming from the always-serious Prince, the pun surprised Phoenix. He burst into laughter. Prince Miles laughed too, albeit much quieter. He quickly coughed to try and cover it up. Phoenix wished he wouldn’t. His laugh was probably the best thing Phoenix had ever heard.

They fell silent as they reached the end of small garden, basking in the glow of the other’s presence. Phoenix followed as the Prince started to climb a grand, double-sided staircase.

“Miles, what were you reading earlier?” Phoenix asked.

“I’m sorry?”

“The book that made you late to dinner. Must’ve been interesting. What was it?” Phoenix rambled, “Y’know, maybe I’ve read it or something.”

“You’re literate?”

“Hey, you don’t need to sound so surprised!”

Prince Miles huffed, flustered. “Well, it’s not as if most people are.”

“Yeah, well, I need to be. How else would I know how to...” learn new spells and read tomes. “read recipes,” Phoenix finished rather lamely.

“Of course.” The Prince sighed, “If you must know, it was about government. The delicacies of running a country.”

“It must be a lot of pressure.” Phoenix frowned sympathetically. Just thinking about all those people relying on you... And he’s my age!

He shook his head in wonderment. “Candidly, I don’t know how my father handles it.”

“Sounds like you really admire him.”

“My father is a great leader. I have a lot to learn from him.” A light had sparked in the Prince’s already stunning gray eyes.

Phoenix smiled warmly at him. “For what it’s worth, I think you’ll do a great job.”

You seem like a good man. Just like your father.

Prince Miles’ cheeks turned pink. He muttered a “thank you” before hastily turning back towards the castle doors.

“W-We should head back inside. It’s getting late.”

Before following him, the baker turned to look back at the other wing of the castle. In the moonlight Phoenix could see Misty and King Gregory standing close together up on the balcony of the castle’s main tower. They looked happy.

Doyoung Hogwarts AU!

Hi~yo! Well I hope you read my NCT Hogwarts post if not I’m going to leave the link here.

As I said this is my Doyoung Hogwarts AU! Boy I know there are plenty of this out there but the ones I’ve read looks like were written by some Hufflepuff author and before NCT life in Osaka, so this is the version of Slytherin Doyoung written by an Slytherin OK?

I’m not saying the others are wrong, I really love them and respect the authors, but we all have different povs so…

Let’s start before I have to go back to my college stuff.

So… Doyoung is a Pureblood wizard most of his family members who attend Hogwarts were placed in Slytherin, the name of the Kim family was very respectable in the magic world however his brother was placed at Gryffindor and boy this was a scandal in the magic community.

He was placed in Slytherin within .03 seconds of the hat thinking. Since his brother was a really important student from Gryffindor there was some expectancy in the opening ceremony.

In his first year as an Slytherin member he met Yuta Nakamoto a 2nd year student of the same house, he befriend him after he found him sleeping on the library hiding from Taeyong because he turn his owl into a hat. Both of them made an interesting and fear Duo, even the heads of the houses didn’t dare to mess with them, Doyoung was in top of his class and had awesome potions skills and Yuta has a really advanced non-speaking spells skills more advanced than most of his senior.

They have heard about you in their 4th year, the legendary girl from Slytherin who was apparently really good in throwing non-spoken spells and was a legerement.

Doyoung was really interested in learning Legeromancy so he was always asking about you to his brother, who always answer him the same thing “She’s in Slytherin Doyoung, how am I supposed to know how she looks? The fact that I can interpret dreams and in one of your dreams you were married with a legerement doesn’t mean I know how she looks neither mean she is the one you’re going to marry”.

So, he started to think about you from the things he have heard among the students. It’s not like you didn’t had friends or were really mysterious but everyone avoided you because one of your family members was once a Death eater in the era of Lord Voldemort so everyone was afraid of you, and most of them didn’t know you were a legerement.

So once you were eating alone in the great salon while practicing some spells and you couldn’t avoid hearing the persistent thoughts of a boy in the other side of the table, like how can you avoid hearing them when he was asking you directly if it was true that your Aunt was once a Death Eater and if you could help him learn Dark Arts Defence cuz apparently you were the top in the 4th grade but how it was he didn’t know who you were if he was the 2nd in class.

So after you heard everything he was asking, you answer him that if he was really interested he just have to turn to his right and lend you a pen and some ink since yours didn’t want to follow your spell.

He was really surprised cuz when he turn to his right you went like: “So you’re going to lend me that free pen you have? Mine seem that is not in the mood of following my orders” And he was like “Here you have… OMG I have to tell Yuta”.

He was really surprised tho, his thoughts were running at 1000 p/h and that made you laugh.

“I’m so sorry you had to hear all of that I mean I really wanted to meet you because the professor said you have an excelled ability in Legeromancy and…" you said “OK first of all calm your thoughts, you’re making it too easy for me to know more than I need and yes I’m talking about you making out with that girl from Ravenclaw so calm down and breath, second yes I’m a legeremente and my ability is more than excelled thanks and lastly, do you really think my eyes are charming?”

With that statement Doyoung finally calm his thoughts cuz girl, the boy was thinking in a lot of really weird things and if you weren’t considered enough you could control him easily.

You told him you can help him learning Legeromancy but he can’t tell his friends about him meeting you and no it wasn’t because of your family it was because Yuta once tried to take you out on a date after telling pretty bad pick up lines he learned from that guy from Gryffindor named Johnny.

So you started meeting him in one of the private salon your family owned in the Slytherin tower most of the time but since Doyoung’s family owned one too sometimes you went there, but most of the time Doyoung wanted to be in yours cuz your mom always send candies from strange places he never heard about.

He was really intelligent and skillful but the Legeromancy was really difficult for those who didn’t have the ability since born plus he gets distracted really easy. “Doyoung I appreciate the fact you like those chocolates my mom send just for you but please concentrate or I’m going to tell your brother you like his girlfriend hands”

Most of the time this thread worked but when not you have to apply some spells on him for him to focus so everytime this happened he went the next day to ask you…

“Y/N, how did I got this scar in my hand I can’t remember anything after you explaining the counter attack spell?“ he said,“I don’t know Doyoung you fell asleep” the truth was that you made him scratch his hand until he react to the pain.

After 2 months he was capable to apply the disguising spell and this happened after you found he dream some nasty shit with you in it once, of course it wasn’t on purpose but he learned something after this incident.

Yuta, Taeyong, Johnny and Ten notice that someone was intruding on his thoughts once in a while and because of this they also notice Doyoung skipping their weekly meets but the funny thing was that everytime they feel someone in their minds Doyoung was sitting somewhere near with you.

“So, spit it Doyoung! Since when you met the legeremente and why you didn’t told me it was Y/N?” Yuta was witty and even if he wasn’t in the top 10 of his year he was intelligent and an awesome Slytherin fortune teller.

Doyoung didn’t want to tell Yuta but since he had found about it by his own the next class Yuta was there in your private salon.

“Yuta, please even if you try to let on the shield spell you don’t have enough ability to summon it without speaking, you can be the top in non-spoken spells in 5th year but it’s not enough” “Oh sorry Y/N but at least I didn’t went with Miss Triloney to read my fortune and tell me if Doyoung is going to invite me on a date soon”

Yuta was a really dangerous guy and somehow you both got closer after that. Now you had to teach Doyoung (who fortunately was under a control spell the time Yuta spill your  little secret) and Yuta and it was funny.

Since Yuta know you got a crush on Doyoung and he learned fast, sometimes he leave the both of you alone in fact it was because even if he know how to counter attack your Legeromancy you had found a really easy way to blackmail him so he leave both of you alone twice a week.

So one day Doyoung found you asleep in your private salon, that day you didn’t have the energy to practice and you fell asleep while waiting for him, you had told him that when someone was sleeping even if that person was a legendary legeremente it was really strange that they can keep their protection shields spells summoned.

Founding it interesting he started to read your mind, he found that your family was really important and that the reason you didn’t hang out with other people aside him and Yuta wasn’t because of your Legeromancy but because it was truth that your aunt was a death eater and everybody avoides you.

And accidentally he found about your crush with him, however Doyoung wasn’t good enough to don’t leave a trace while reading minds so after some minutes you woke up feeling him inside your mind.

“What are you doing?!” you woke up really angry, in part because Doyoung was reading and searching through your memories and thoughts and even if you did it sometimes it wasn’t right in fact it was forbidden, and in part because you were an idiot to not maintain your protection spell while sleeping even if you were strong enough to maintain it. “tell me what did you found?! Uh?!”

“Uhm, calm down Y/N I didn’t-

“No, Doyoung! When I go into your mind it’s because I’m teaching you how to control it, and you even can choose what you want me to see!”

“I’m sorry Y/N I didn’t-

“Get out of here Doyoung! I’m not going to keep on teaching you, you cross the line, you invade my privacy, go!”

You threw Doyoung out of your salon and he found some students outside your salon curious about what he was doing alone with you and some other things going through their minds.

Yuta heard about the incident and he give you the reason, the Legeromancy was commonly used to get information and control people, a lot of legeromancers normally use this ability to torture some wizards, witches and other magical creatures, he knew Doyoung didn’t do this with that in his mind but because of this kind of incidents you hide it from the others.

Doyoung really missed you because somehow he fall in love with you even before meeting you, he knew he make a mistake but he also knew you were really angry and you were a temperamental girl so he decided to give you some time alone, he saw you hanging with Yuta most of the time and when you weren’t with him you were practicing in the potion classroom.

One day you went to the potion classroom to improve your veritaserum recipe and you found Doyoung there, deciding it was childish not doing what you were going to do just because Doyoung was there so you started your potion.

Doyoung let his protection spell down on purpose when he notice you were there, he was more skilled in potion making than you so everytime you made a mistake he tell you what to do in his mind, he know you were hearing him so…

“Stop it Doyoung, please. Your thoughts are too loud and I have a headache, please.”

“But you’re not making veritaserum as you wanted you’re making a Love Potion”

“Well, maybe I want to give it to someone”

“Who?!”

“I don’t know and it’s not your problem”

“of course it is!…

“Oh really?! Why?!…

“Because… what if he likes someone, you really want to live a life like that?”

“As I said it’s not your problem, so now put your spell on and shut up your mind!”

“I don’t want to, I want you to hear my thoughts, so now pay attention”

“I’m going out of here you’re so difficult sometimes” you said while starting to picking up your stuff and clean.

But Doyoung’s mind was too loud so you pay a bit of attention, while Doyoung feign he didn’t notice your presence, he was apologizing, telling you how difficult was paying attention with you in the next seat and keeping his security spell on because whenever he thinks about you Yuta said his thoughts were too noisy, so noisy even the ones who don’t know Legeromancy were capable to hear them, he said he love spending time with you and he fell in love with you even before meeting you.

“Yuta’s thoughts are noisier than yours tho”

“Hey, get out of my mind” he said laughing “I’m sorry I didn’t meant to intrude your mind it wasnt with bad intentions I swear”

“I know is just that people misunderstand the Legeromancy because of that kind of things and the use some magicians and witches give to it, I think I over react, sorry”

“It’s OK it was my mistake and you really are going to use that love potion?”

“I’m going to sell it, that girl from Hufflepuff who’s friend with your friend Taeyong wants to give it to him”

After this Doyoung quit with the Legeromancy, he wasn’t as skilled as Yuta and he enjoy spying in Taeyong’s dreams.

He and Yuta were more feared now because he was dating you and Yuta was your BFF and that was a big no to mess with them or you.

Gongmyung wrote a letter to his parents talking about Doyoung dating you, they were really surprised because Doyoung find you interesting and not fearing because of your family history.

He failed potion making because he was to immersed looking at you and accidentally broke some veritaserum containers so the professor made him go to the forbidden wood to find some strange plants he never heard of.

But when his parents found about that they send you a letter asking you to help him because he was allergic to that plant and both of you got lost for 6 hours until Yuta and Ten find you near the river near a group of unicorns.

He was more popular than before but he was sad because he wasn’t popular for being an Slytherin now but because his grades went down the hill in matter of months. And that was strange considering that in 4 years he kept being in the top 3.

Of course he kept reading the books in the forbidden section of the library but now because he was interested in knowing more about your family, he was trying to understand how to help you in developing more your Legeromancy.

He went on a date with you and got you some Butter Beer.

He met your parents and get why your family was very feared, it wasn’t because of your family history it was because they were part of the Magical Ministry, your parent being in charge of the security in Azkaban and your mother was the most respectful member in the Magical jury.

His parents were important Auror but even his parents respect yours more than other Families.

Once he drink a bit of Felix felicis by accident and for some reason both of you ended up making out in his private salon and git caught by his brother who only chuckled and went out as soon as he realize what was happening.

So, this was Hogwarts AU! Doyoung ✨

I’m preparing the 95line ones but since I’m busy with college it may take a bit.

Legeromancy: Is the ability to read, control, modify and torture the mind and thoughts of others, it is commonly used by dark wizards and witches, many legeremente hide this ability because it is not well seen in the magic world. It has more effect when the legeremente is born with the ability but it can be learned but not in a totality. Some famous magicians who were legeremente were: Albus Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort and Queenie Goldstein, Harry Potter was teached on Legeromancy by Severus Snape.

Minutes of me watching the, luckily, last episode of ToZX

Warning: lots of capslock, lots of cursing. I finally figured out how to put things under a cut, hooray! Beware of obvious spoilers for the game, the anime, AND Tales of Berseria ahead. It’s also a goddamn long post.

0:00: *has just made the bad mistake to eat a whole litre of vla. Very hyper, hands are shaking, tummy ache* Okay, Ufotable. DO YOUR WORST.

No opening? I can deal. Didn’t expect it anyway. No anime ever plays the opening in the last episode, right? I don’t like it, anyway.

0:20: Yes, I know, it’s Captain Planet, go ahead and do shit

0:30 I’m kinda disappointed that the Captain Planet theme isn’t actually playing

0:58: No, it looks plain silly. NO CAPES, DAMN IT Btw are the girls just gonna stand there in the background for the entire episode?

1:20: Yeah, looks like Captain Planet mode sucks after all. Btw if I wasn’t still sick, I’d take a sip for Meebo shouting “Sorey!”

1:29: You’re saying that NOW, Lailah? And is Heldalf just gonna stand there and watch the whole time?

2:08: I want Sorey’s hair conditioner

2:30:  I honestly can’t read my shaky sugar-induced and rage-fueled handwriting for that minute anymore, but the last words seem to suggest that I was bitching about Anime!Sorey being a Gary Stu. Speaking of shaky handwriting, most „2“ in this post might as well be a „1“ and vice versa, hard to tell

2:48: NO, SOREY. YOU FUCKING CAN’T. WHO WROTE HIM SUDDENLY BEING ABLE TO DO THINGS THAT THE ENTIRE GAME IS MAKING HIM LEARN THAT HE CAN’T. And I can’t even do English anymore

2:57: Yay the good songs are back I also wanna use these nifty rainbow magic dual element spells

3:37: …You still can’t, you know

3:47: Okay girls, I see you’re bored and wanna do something, BUT YOU REALLY SHOULDN’T BE ABLE TO, OK? YOU SHOULDN’T EVEN BE HERE. NOBODY SHOULD BE IN THAT FRIGGIN’ VOLCANO ACTUALLY

3:56: Hi Dezel!

4:00: I’m touched that Dezel opted to ship RosAli and has given the girls his blessing

4:10: Sorey, if the Gay Pride Armatus is that exhausting to use, I’d suggest you stop wasting your breath with cheesy speeches

4:38: DAT’S SOME BFS DAT’S THE BUSTER SWORD OF GAY PRIDE

4:44: At least they somehow… reshaped that sweet sequence from the original game’s opening animation where Sorey and all Seraphim unanimously punch Heldalf. Okay, this is a sweet but sorry attempt at a decent battle scene.

5:03: WTF FUCKING WHY I JUST – *inhales deeply* Heldalf, you’re fucking doing it wrong, Velvet would be disappointed with you

5:28: That’s some ugly CGI malevolence

5:55: EVEN IN THE MANGA THEY HAD FIGURED OUT BEFORE THE FINAL BATTLE THAT THE LAND AND LA– MAOTELUS ARE CORRUPTED, AND THAT THING HAS ONLY 19 CHAPTERS! HOW HARD CAN IT BE!? BTW YOU’D KNOW IF YOU HAD EVER BOTHERED TO TALK TO MUSE YOU BASTARDS

6:30: What was the Gay Pride Armatus even good for? LAP–– I MEAN MAOTELUS, PLEASE INTERVENE, DO YOUR FUCKING JOB AS GOD

8:00: SEAL? JUST KILL YOU DUMB IDIOT, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

8:10: Oh no Meebo, please don’t cry OH SHIT NO IF THAT’S NOT THE LOOK OF A BROKEN HEART THEN IT’S ON MY FACE RIGHT NOW

8:20: ARGLBLARGL NO NO NO DON’T PLAY JOURNEY’S END IN THE BACKGROUND, OH GOD WHY DOESN’T SOMEBODY (=Sorey. Or Maotelus with a Deus Ex Machina move, come on, I’ve been so waiting for it) FINALLY END MEEBO’S SUFFERING

8:40 OH MAN ANIME!SOREY FOR WORST BOYFRIEND EVER

9:03: IT’S GONNA BE THE PURPLE PROSE AU

9:14: *hands over tissues and chocolate* Meebo, you know, this whole show doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, anyway, so there’s absolutely no need for Sorey to pull through with this heroic sacrifice but kinda not at all shit thing

9:20: SOMEONE GIVE THAT POOR BOY A HUG FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

9:24: I doubt he’s listening right now, Sorey, and you really deserve a punch or two

10:34: WHERE WAS THAT DREAM THE LAST FUCKING 24 EPISODES!!!!!!!!?????????????

10:40: I’D TAKE A SIP IF I WASN’T STILL SICK AND SOBBING

10:59: Yeah, Alisha, I’m glad you’re still alive, too. Who even suggested that squire-killing risk in the first place

11:09: HI CUTIE-PIE! Okay I admit it, part of me who was already used to being spoilered just wanted to see cute baby Laphi turning back his adorable seraph self. Screw this BTW SHOULDN’T YOU KINDA BE DOWN THERE WITH SOREY, WHICH WAS THE 1000% BETTER CONNECTION TO THE BERSERIA PLOT!????

11:22: I don’t think he hears you, sweetie

11:49: Are you gonna give me nothing but scenery porn for the remaining 10 minutes!?

12:55: Oh no, you didn’t fucking make the last in the line to the throne –

12:57: OH MY GOD NO YOU DID

13:05: That dress is disappointingly boring

14:57: What the fuck is written on that stone?

15:07: How many shepherds has Anime!Lailah destroyed?

15:25: …so, did they kill Eizen?

16:00: ZAVEID, YOU’RE EXCLUSIVELY HANGING OUT WITH OTHER SERAPHIM, AND YOU TRIED TO KILL SOREY THREE TIMES IN A ROW, HOW ARE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF INTERCULTURAL MEDIATION Oh wait actually Anime!Zaveid has never tried to kill Sorey. Well, anyway.

16:03: …Yeah, Eizen is what? Apart from, STILL A DRAGON AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, STILL CURSED!?

16:25: Ride a dragon, Edna

16:40: …It was too much to ask, I guess. Dammit.

16:57: Oh hello long-haired Rose. How did it get that long, she doesn’t even look a single day older

AND WHERE IS YOUR SHEPHERD’S CLOAK, BITCH!?

You also look like a Pokémon trainer. Or like a female Luke. Definitely female Luke

17:43: Lesbians doing a cooking course together. How does that fit your schedule, QUEEN ALISHA?

18:02: HAROLD, THEY’RE LESBIANS

19:07: PURPLE PROSE AU IS REAL

19:55: They are so fucking married I can’t believe my eyes

20:18: Well… about that…

20:20: YEAH ASK MEEBO, EXCEPT SOMEBODY DECIDED TO CUT THAT PART OF PLOT AND WORLDBUILDING COMPLETELY OUT OF THE STORY

20:32: *CHOKED SCREAMING*

Btw is there a specific reason why the nameless kids look like Sorey’s and Mikleo’s human love children? Except hurting me on a deep emotional level?

20:41: THAT’S AN UNDERSTATEMENT AND YOU KNOW THAT, TSUNLEO

21:18: Hey wait, they can still do the telepathy crap? Why? And how is the pact still in place?

21:23: ARRRRHHHHHH WHY DO YOU BREAK MY HEART, ALL I WANTED WAS SERAPH SOREY

21:40: R3V#1GU) +B8ß23pkcf +ierq0ßcple2ßîdo^# jncoäejvcreoL *AGGRESSIVELY SMASHES KEYBOARD*

21:52: …Dammit. *adapts “adult Meebo is still shorter than Sorey” headcanon to “adult Meebo is the same height as Sorey until he starts growing too, until they arrive at the same height difference again* Then again, this is a stupid canon divergent AU, anyway, right?

21:58: FOR FUCKING REAL!?

22:05: Good idea, ask Gramps for all the missing things from the plot. The adaptation spared him, after all

22:15: Part of me is relieved, part of me is very upset

22:43: Why can you still do this? BTW WAY TO CHEAT ON A RACE

23:00: When did you two learn to fly?

AND WHERE THE FUCK IS MAOTELUS? WHO CARES ABOUT HELDALF, WHO SHOULD BE FUCKING DEAD? I WANT MY SWEET BABY BACK

23:06: What… or where is that?

23:17: THAT’S FRIGGIN’ NORMAL BIRDS, SOREY

And did you just fly out of Glenwood to Tethe’alla, because I don’t recognize that view

WHAT A RIDE

Hands still shaky, still sick, fucking offended

PLEASE END MY LIFE

(no reaction scribbles this time, at least not immediately. Except Sorey and Mikleo should totally adopt their mini selves. AND LAPHI.)

Hi! I want to start an imagines blog, do you have any tips for starting it? (Also, I really love your stories and you're really talented♥️)

Hi love!

First of all, thank you for the lovely compliments. They truly do mean a lot. And I’m very flattered that you asked me for advice, so I’ll try to do my best.

My tips for starting an imagines blog would be to remain patient, make friends, follow lots of other blogs, and write for yourself. It seems like a lot, but trust me- it isn’t.

(further help can be read below in more depth, if you’re interested)

Stay patient. It might take a long time to get attention, and it might not. It really depends on what you’re writing about and who your audience is. Also, it’s never a bad idea to know when to post. I try to post when I know I can reach out to a maximum audience, but it doesn’t always work. Sometimes I’ll get a ton of notes on a fic, and sometimes I’ll get, like, 14. I just stay patient. It really does help.

MAKE FRIENDS. I cannot stress this enough. I’ve interacted with other authors to ask for help, and while I definitely recommend it, you should make friends with you other people, too. I have a friend I interact with almost daily, and she helps keep me motivated. Also, I think I’d be stuck in writer mode 24/7 if it weren't for her. So, yeah. Make lots of friends, or a few friends, and keep a good relationship with them.

(psst I’m always down to chill with people I promise I won't judge or be mean)

Following many blogs has honestly helped my writing skills so much. I look for what I like, what other writers like, for what the readers like... tbh the list of stuff I don't look for is probably shorter than the stuff I actually keep an eye out for. Following a bunch of blogs lets me read what others are writing and reblog their stuff- which is usually pretty cool. It keeps my blog active enough so that I don’t have to create stuff every hours of the day. It’s the perfect way to satisfy my online children while making sure I can sort of stay on top of schoolwork.

WRITE FOR YOUR OWN DAMN SELF. It seems obvious, but sometimes writing can become more of a chore than an escape from the world. If you’re considering doing requests, I have a couple suggestions: do it when you know that you’re going to have time, and do it because you want to. In my experience, writing sucks less and is less sucky when I’m doing it because I want to (I know that analogy sucks but whatever shut up). Writing for yourself is so much fun, and it makes the whole running a blog thing much easier- plus, the quality is generally better. So write for yourself. You deserve your own quality writing.

As far as tips for writing goes... for the love of Chuck, PROOF READ. I cannot tell you how irritating it is as a reader, writer, and grammar freak, to read something that has been posted with little to no checks for grammatical errors. I generally use Microsoft Word to write my fics because it is on my computer, but you can use whatever you’d like. Just look for the coloured squiggly lines. As a tip, here are the meanings behind them:

Red- incorrect spelling

Blue- grammatical error or misused word

These mistakes are easily fixed, and it takes literally five minutes of proof reading to improve your writing by 1000%. Trust me, it makes the world a greater place.

For now, this is all that I can think of. I’m sorry if this is really long, but I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please let me know! I’d honestly love to help, and I’m also available for anything else you might need (editor, co-author, etc.) in your future blog.

Thanks for asking! Hope this helps you:)

(P.S.

you have GOT to give me the name of your blog- I’ll be sure to check it out!)

[sherlockedmeta-blog]

In responding to your post I came up with a theory of my own, as far as I can see it works as a logical way to look at ASiB in the most positive light (instead of as a sexist queerbait).

Also I want to clarify that in my point about people being sexist for taking Sherlock’s word over Irene’s I’m not saying that’s anyone who thought Irene loves Sherlock is a bad person, rather a victim of the sexism and heteronormativity that is forced onto us from birth (I also only just realised that she didn’t like him, this is something that all people need to work on).

 Hey @haroldisnotaunicorn ! Sorry I was just getting to actually answering your ask when I saw this! I’m so glad you sent this though it’s a really great theory! Here is my response! 

Yeah first I would like to say that I absolutely could have spent some more time and effort on my theory and analysis, I just had some thoughts I wanted to pump out so I apologize for any inconsistencies and being unclear.

Before I start to respond, because I 100% agree/understand where your coming from on a lot of your points, I always came to the same problem at the end as you which was “why would the password(her heart) be Sherlocked” and why were her pupils dilated and why about those other examples of her attraction to Sherlock. And my conclusion was that Moftiss absolutely wanted to make the audience think she was in love with Sherlock, like with the music swell like you mentioned. So I think that is where a lot of our differences stem from, is that at the end I believe they wanted us to believe she was “in love” with him. Even though I desperately wish they didn’t.

Also thank you for putting numbers I’m ADHD as hell and cannot put together a cohesive writing(as you could probably tell from my meta) so I’ll just rebuttal by numbers.

 1)      I 1000% agree with you on the dodging the bi question. I think Irene knows John is trying to dodge it too and that is why she pushes for him to at least confront his feeling for Sherlock, if he won’t for men in general. Because at the end that is what really matters, John and Sherlock ending up together. So, I believe, whatever previous crush on men he’s had before(Sholto) is just him warming up to the idea of being with a man(of course this is plot wise not real life wise) so by the time he realizes he’s bi and his feelings for Sherlock he’s gotten used to the idea so they can end up together with no sexuality questioning complications. (Btw I’m very johnlock endgame heavy and most of my theories stem from that so I apologize if your not.)

2)      Again absolutely agree. I absolutely think John is bi and Sholto was an example of that.

3)      That is a really great point about her needing to specifying that she is bi if she is to be related to John. But I think, in a way, she is specifying. This is just my personal belief but Irene is extremely smart, and like Sherlock, manipulative. Their whole conversation up to the “Well I am. Look at us both” part is specifically about Sherlock and how SHERLOCK relates to both of their sexualities. So I think when she says “Look at us both” she’s is referring only to their attraction to Sherlock, not men in general. That’s where the manipulation part comes in. She doesn’t come out and say “I’m bi too, were the same so John face your feelings.” she goes straight for the jugular of what is making John question his sexuality in the first place, Sherlock. And she knows that this is what that have in common, their mutual attraction to Sherlock, so she’ll leave out the part that she is not completely bi, and will manipulate John into realizing his feelings toward Sherlock by saying they are the same(look at us both). That they are both attracted to someone not apart of the gender they knew they were attracted to. I’m still not sure about Irene being bi. I think Sherlock is a one off sort of thing and that she doesn’t identify as bi. But I’ll get to why I hate that(like you I think) later.

4)      I totally get you are trying to debunk the ways Irene shows attraction to Sherlock to show how she really does not love Sherlock(which I wish I could do too) but the part where her pupils were dilated was when her and Sherlock were both in a completely relaxed environment in 221 B. If it was during the big standoff that her pupils dilated I would, too, jump on the chance to say it was for another reason like fear. I sadly can’t debunk any other reason why they would dilate in the relaxed environment they were in :/ Now if for some reason she wanted to make Sherlock think she was romantically attracted to him, she could make her pupils dilate on purpose, but as we know there is no reason for that. I can’t think of any other reason why her pupils would dilate.(and why they made it such a big deal of it in the show)

5)      Again, absolutely agree she is mirror for Sherlock, I’ve read so much about that as I’m sure you have. But just like her very complicated and diverse character, I think it is possible she could be a mirror for both of them. We both agree she wants John to see he has a crush on Sherlock. Why? I think because she just enjoys all the drama and maybe even wants to help John in a way, that’s a whole nother meta though. But I think if she can see the whole picture of John’s attraction to Sherlock she could mirror the whole picture, john being bi and Sherlock being gay.

6)      I HATE this part. That was a point I was trying to make in my meta that I couldn’t quite put into words so thank you for doing that. I don’t understand why they would make a lesbian character fall in love with a man, it is absolutely destructive. Sadly, I can’t see a way that she doesn’t actually have some sort of attraction to him.

7)      Yeah addressed this one at the beginning. Again, why would they make her password to her heart Sherlock for any other reason? Trust me I am just as unhappy about it as you are.

8)      Yeah addressed this too at the beginning. The writers at least wanted it to seem like she really loved him. The first thing I think of is that this was a whole plan that Irene just wanted to make him think she loved him for some other way more complicated- plan she was making but, of course, that makes no sense because her apparent “love” for Sherlock is what ruins her at the end and is the whole message of the episode. Love is not an advantage. Going back to her being a mirror for Sherlock, she is the version that let feelings in the way of her plan and it ruined it and she would have died because of it. Although we know Sherlock saves her at the end but yeah.

I love your final conclusion and I think with all the other points you made it makes total sense. I just have trouble with unless there is another underlying plot here that Irene comes back bigger and better and wanted Sherlock to think she loved him to trick him or something, that there is no reason they would have made her being in love with him the big message and climax of the episode. Other then what you said of course, the bitter explanation of it baits Adlock shippers. So as much as I WISH SO MUCH that Irene really didn’t have feelings for Sherlock in some way, it is the only thing that makes sense. I hope it is a case of people like us being able to read past what they have shown us(which happens all the time in this show) and make a deeper and reasonable meaning of something that doesn’t make any sense(a lesbian being in love with a man), but it’s not evident in the shows “lore”, for lack of a better word. If there was another relevant reason to the plot for it they would have had to made it relevant, maybe they still will. I really loved reading your response and I totally agree with what your saying and let’s just agree to disagree on our differing points. I hope if you have any comments or anything to let me know! You’re a really great writer(better than me) and meta-er and it was great being able to share some thoughts with you! Sorry for the length of this, I really enjoyed responding! Also am I exhausted currently and am sure I made a tone of spelling and grammar mistakes in this, I hope it is still readable enough that I made my point.
