#Leona craves power and control

[rottengurlz]

I’m struggling deciding on Audra’s backstory because all I can think about is Audra being eaten out by Leona while they’re both sprawled over and covered in blood of the ripped apart corpse of Leona’s husband that she had convinced Audra to kill so they could be together

[yan-lorkai]

Good evening! If you don’t mind, I’d like to hear your thoughts on which yandere twst boys would be the most likely to use baby trapping to keep their darling from leaving. Thank you!

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ A/n: G'evening Anonie! (⁠｡⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠｡⁠)⁠ﾉ~, ooo I actually like to read babytrap hcs because they all have the potential to do that if their darling is trying to escape / doesn't have Stockholm yet.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Characters: Malleus Draconia, Leona Kingscholar, Rook Hunt, Floyd Leech & Riddle Rosehearts.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Warnings: Yandere content, Pregnancy, suggestive in rook's part.

Malleus would do this because he loves you so much. He loves you since you were his first friend and lover, so in his mind conceiving another being as a result of that love is the right action to be taken - even more so if you intend to simply leave, besides it is inevitable because as a king he needs one or more heirs. And he has the sweetest smile as he watches your body change, ignoring the sneer you send his way. He knows you'll comes around eventually.

Leona would do this to keep you trapped by his side, unlike Malleus, he needs to have power over you in some other way. He's insecure and yet boastful, he truly loves you but he hates the thought that you could find someone better than him, so getting you pregnant would solve all his problems and keep you from leaving. He would retain control over you, have an heir and everyone would know you were his alone, good luck trying to escape the thousands of eyes of the castle staff and subjects.

Rook honestly can't keep his hands off your body, he just can't. The way you smell and taste is addictive to him, so he decided while you were doing that that would be the best course of action to take. One of the factors that influenced him, however, is the fact that he has a large family and he wants to have the chance to experience that, to have lots of little copies of him and you running through the halls of your house, to be able to teach them to hunt, seeing them laugh, all these things go through his head. So yes, he would babytrap you and he will love every second.

It's more a matter of curiosity than need, especially if he had taken you to live with him underwater since you couldn't run away, but Floyd wants a child or two and you'll give them to him. He knows you can be a happy little family and he will be delighted as he watches the changes take place with your body, but oh he is mean, laughing at your tears, poking your belly and giving you the wrong cravings while you eat what is offered to you.

Riddle would do this under the influence of his mother, I mean, every healthy and loving couple has children, right? So he has that conversation about kids with you, how many would you like to have and all that, he knows it's going to be a tough time and he's ready to deal with the consequences, your mood swings, your cravings, things like that. But over time the more times you try the more he wants to have kids with you. And good luck if you don't want kids because he'll be switching your birth control pills and purposely damaging condoms, all to keep you by his side.

TWST related Ramble Incoming; Spoilers to Book 07 mentioned as well. You have been warned!!

I just noticed this morning that Malleus has traits connected to the previous OB gang. And how it kinda culminates together in Book 07. Let me explain:

Riddle and Malleus have strained Realtionships with their families. Granted in Riddle’s case it's his mother and Malleus his grandmother, but with some slight differences. Where Riddle’s whole life was dictated by his mother, the Senate(aka bitchie old farts that need some purifying salt) controls Malleus and his life. And when I mean that, I meant how they ripped him away from Lilia as a baby cause of their narrow minded view of the former General.

Leona and Malleus are both royalty. While Leona is a second born Prince who will never be king, Malleus has no choice but to be crowned Ruler of Briar Valley once his Grannie retires. Sure Leona may find him stuck up and annoying, but what he doesn't know is the fact that just like him, Malleus is also dealing with subjects who revere him or fear him cause of his powers.

Azul and Malleus both crave something. Azul craves power and money as a coping mechanism(at the beginning at least) as revenge for those that bullied and mocked him as a child. Malleus craves companionship. And yes he has his family (his Grandmother, Lilia, Silver and Sebek), they all keep him at arm's length for different reasons beit his status or heartache of getting too close. Thus building up the loneliness in his heart.

Jamil and Malleus are envious of other people. Jamil is jealous of the freedoms Kalim has as a naïve heir and able to dance about in the light, and yet he-Jamil-has to stick to the shadows. Never allowed to be free to do what he wants lest he bring dishonor to his parents. Malleus, as stated before, is jealous of others and the fun things they get to do. He's hardly been invited to events from EVERYONE at NRC. Heck, not a single Noble invited him to any social gatherings during his Winter break! The only time he got one was from Yuu/MC in Book 05.

Vil and Malleus both share some sort vanity with one another. Vil works hard to be the fairest, most beautiful person in the world. Malleus is part of the Top 5 Strongest Mages in TW, and there are times he takes pride in using his magic to fix things or get carried away with doing something that throws others off like in Vargas Training Camp Ver. 02, with him altering the Cave and making it mazy and confusing to his the other campers.

Idia and Malleus value their family bonds but theyre alos the cursed ones of the group. Idia and his family are doomed to forver be the Gatekeepers of the Underworld due to the nature of their connection with Overblots and such. Malleus is cursed not just by his family name, but his own late mother, Melenor Draconia, blessed him with being a star of hope for the people of Briar Valley and an omen of evil to humans. This in turn has isolated him from his peers all throughout his time in NRC til we befriend him. And like I stated in Azul's part his family does love him, but his status makes it harder for him to convey his true feelings of love them.

Malleus is a tragic character with neat parallels to those that broke before him. A person who yearns for things that his peers are too naïve to understand. Let alone give him a chance to engage with them in ways they could better know each other. Which makes his eventual defeat in Book 07 whenever that happens all the more painful ;-;

[official-nrc-prophet]

For the ship post

Leona x Ruggie and Jamil x Kalim

...WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

Im choosing to believe you don't actually ship these, because if you do, square up. This isn't an issue of me not liking these ships, these ships are downright predatory and abusive!!

Leona is in a significant position of power over Ruggie, controlling some of his income, being a housewarden, and YKNOW, BEING AN ADULT. Ruggie is a MINOR. He trusts and listens to Leona, so if that turned romantic, it would literally be Ruggie being groomed. This ship fucking sucks.

Kalim and Jamil is awful. I'll go ahead and say it- JAMIL IS KALIM'S SLAVE. If you're still saying "yeah but the relationship would be cute-" GET OUT. Jamil HAS to do whatever Kalim asks him to do. Even if Kalim tends to not use this control, it's still abusive. Plus, Jamil has mentioned how much he hates Kalim, and hoe much he craves to be free. Shipping them means Jamil will always be denied that freedom that he craves. It fucking sucks.

[lethargical-lily]

TWST Dorms Leaders X Male!EAHRaven!Yuu Head-canons

Sorry for lack of Leona and Azul. I really wanted to add them I just had writer’s block and wanted to get this out before I forgot. I’ll probably add them in a separate post another time

🌹Riddle Rosehearts🌹

In my opinion there’s nothing about you that would stick out to him immediately

Looks wise, you actually fit right in for the school of villains

It would be your kindness that he is drawn to

That and #mommyissues

You are both very damaged individuals who lack control in your lives due to mothers that cared more about your legacy than they did your happiness

But where Riddle craves control, you function generally well without it unless it has great affect on you

Your kind and selfless personality gives him hope he can eventually heal from the childhood he never got to have

He very much appreciates your patience and softness with him, especially in his times of need

You are very used to dealing with extreme personalities

I mean your best friend is the mad hatter’s kid and you attended the same school as the child of THE queen of hearts

Safe to day you know the ropes

When Riddle hears you’ve met the queen of hearts he’ll go FERAL

He’ll hide it of course but will ask tons of questions about her

You will likely discuss over a cup of tea

He gives Nevermore her own chair and teacup

Nevermore and the dormouse are unexpected besties

When you show him your wonderland fit he’d almost cry out of joy

This also makes him that much more upset you’re not in his dorm

You tell him you remind him of a friend of yours, Lizzie Hearts

He doesn’t know who that is but he’s happy he reminds you of someone close to you

🥳Kalim Al-Asim🥳

Met in pop music club

You start talking about each of your individual music tastes and show each other some songs

This encourages him to throw a party dedicated to said songs

He reminds you of Briar bless his heart

Because of his sort of happy go lucky nature you often find yourself being naturally protective of him or just ensuring he doesn’t die doing something dumb

Jamil is incredibly thankful for you

He’ll always compliment your style since it’s kind of the complete opposite of his

You offer to do some darker makeup on him

He can barely sit still with excitement

Refuses to take it off the whole day

He’ll find and give you gothic themed jewelry

You love having someone here who doesn’t care about your power or looks, just your personality

You take him on rides with Nevermore

He feeds Nevermore any of his leftovers so she likes him a lot

You two plus the rest of the pop music club started a band

This band got A LOT of attention

People are always gushing over you and Kalim’s relationship

🦚Vil Schoenheit🦚

He wants to meet your mom so bad

You are the only person he would praise so hard

Not even because of your mom, simply because of your strength and looking fabulous while doing it

You will do each other’s makeup all the time

Only person he trusts with picking out his clothes

You often teach him magic spells or powerful potions

He’s never simped more

He sympathizes with the history you have with your mother

That doesn’t stop him from praising her accomplishments but he keeps it strictly objective

You two bond over having a Snow White themed annoyance in your life

If music is something you want tu pursue in your life he’ll pull any strings he needs to make it happen

He likes Nevermore but more from a distance

She’s undeniably magnificent but he can’t let his clothes get wrinkled

If you tell him that you fought and defeated the Evil Queen

He just might bow at your feet/hj

No but seriously marry him

That’s so attractive

He doesn’t care that he’s in a dorm meant for honoring her you are the epitome of the Evil Queen’s image

But in a nice way

He’s aware you don’t plan on being unnecessarily evil

He’s so in love help him

👾Idia Shroud👾

Idia would remind you of Dexter

Shy but with a heart of gold

Well you assume he has a heart of gold

It’s kinda hard to get to know someone when they keep running from you

But after Idia has done enough running, it gives you the chance to finally strike up a normal conversation

They start off with music since you are quite the fan but slowly go into online forums and video games

Idia thinks you’re hella cool after this

Idia anxiously invites you to play a couple games with him sometime

It’s an enthusiastic yes from on your end

After teaching you the basics you get the hang pretty quickly and start dominating any game you two play

Idia feels you’re finally prepared for the big guns

Meaning shooter games and voice chat with depraved men who live in their momma’s basement😔✊/hj

Idia and you wipe the floor with your opponents

This is when Idia REALLY starts to notice his feelings for you

He will constantly gift you better and better tech to listen to or stream your music

Having a bf who can lift things with their mind is a huge W too

And speaking of magic he is absolutely FLOORED by your power

There are a lot more restrictions to power in his world but if your good enough to handle it, it’s almost like a free for all at EAH

ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE ABLE TO DEFEAT ONE OF THE GREAT SEVEN

AND YOU HAVE A PET DRAGON

He will bow at your feet and always mumble about how OP you are much to your confusion

You still love him tho :D

Compliment him on his hair or gaming skills, he’ll blush like crazy if it’s coming from you

🐉Malleus Draconia🐉

Relates HEAVILY on what it feels like to be feared due to your ancestors or even just your looks

When you hear all the talk about him being “evil” n such that just makes you all the more determined to actually get to know him

One day you take up Lilia’s offer on approaching their table

You spend lunch with them for the day (Adeuce is horrified and Sebek is staring daggers)

Malleus is both intrigued by your world and boldness

You take any chance you can to sit next to him in classes and he gladly does the same

You introduce him to your music tastes

He doesn’t understand it but he’s trying

In exchange he info dumps about gargoyles to you

He’s ecstatic to have someone that will enthusiastically listen and ask questions

You will often dress him up in styles similar to what you would wear back at EAH

He will dress you up in traditional Briar Valley clothing

Is someone else who is heavily impressed by your magic

Like I said you would probably be one of the most powerful in Twisted Wonderland because of the freedom you have with your abilities

This kind of makes you two the scariest power couple at NRC

If you tell him you defeated one of the great seven he’ll just stare at you like 😀

Nevermore loves him and he spoils her with what he can

He will not hesitate to make you his king of the Valley of Thorns

[yantako]

Ohh! Ohh! I have an idea that would be heartbreaking but cool! (Hope you don't mind) Ehem! Yandere dormleaders with an MC who ended up snapping and going insane because of them (*Cough* Also because of the cat being killed by them in the other request) they started to discover this when MC laughing over the cat's death with tears on their eyes. At first they didn't mind it until they see them strangle a poor innocent student from their dorm until they ran out of breath and died. They're trying to gain power over them (Because that's what Yanderes do) but MC is laughs out off when they try to hurt them with their magic which is haunting. And their family members get involved (Scenario: MC having one of their hands on Cheka's neck subtly as a threat to Leona that if he does something to them, they'll strangle and kill the kid)

Sorry about the brainrot, I was just craving for Yandere content where the victim wins 😅

This ask is referring to this post.

Oh my, I appreciate you dropping this request, thank you so much~

Oh come on, don't worry about the brainrot~ we're all probably brainrotted here too 😉

I, too, love it when MC fights back. POWER THROUGH THE YANDERES. GET READY TO GET THEIR ASSES KICKED. It can't just be one sided, ohohohoho.

Okay but as we all see this in fiction, let's try not to take such extremes irl. Teehee ;)~☆

Also, I have to write these in parts! It's getting difficult for me to write now as I have and will be extremely busy in this month...

Yandere MC that Snaps after tolerating the Yanderes.

ft. Riddle, Leona

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Riddle Rosehearts

• He thinks he has you in his grasp but little did he know that you actually had some ulterior motives.

• The more rules he makes up, the more it drives you crazy. And, you knew exactly what is up when it kept applying to the separation of your cat. After all, you aren't naïve, stupid or gullible.

• The final straw was when Riddle killed the cat in front of you. He threw a tantrum when he found out that you had been secretly visiting it behind his back and this led to him getting eaten up by rage and jealousy.

• When he saw the tears seep out of your eyes, Riddle could feel a tinge of guilt crawl up in him. But, it was all for your good, right? He initially had wanted to comfort you until he saw the slight smile on your lips. He felt a chill down his spine, but he could not explain it. Why exactly were you smiling? Maybe, it is a coping mechanism...

• After maybe some time, he had thought you had finally understood him and had accepted him when you seemed so obedient around him.

• Then, he saw you strangling a poor dormmate with an aloof disposition. The struggling student seemed to be panicking, their magic trying to stop you from doing so but ended up being all over the place due to the pain they are feeling. Riddle immediately stops you from doing so by trying to pull your hands away. But, as you do not falter easily, he started to use his strong magic on you, trying to frighten you to stop. Instead of scaring you off, your grip tightens and the student fianlly stopped struggling and fell limp. That is when you let go.

• Riddle's face was one filled with horror and dread. He hadn't known that you were person with such capabilities. This is not something that he would have expected of you. Confused as he is, he could only mutter about the rules. And so, you replied that he had broken a rule. But, who knows what rule it was

• Of course, this made Riddle felt unsettled and started to keep a look out on you more. The previous incident was heavily covered up by Crowley himself and dubbed an accident. After all, who would believe that the kind and magicless student would strangle somebody to death?

However, as Riddle held a tighter leash on you, you showed no signs of doing anything as traumatising. He started to slowly believe that you had been momentarily possessed or controlled by someone else. After all, you're the person who helped him through his overblot and taught him to cherish himself!

• Everything was going well and smooth, as you still seem nice and obedient towards him, following his rules that he had made for you. Then, he decided that it would be great for you to meet his mother. And you followed him.

• What would catch him by surprise was that as his mother made you sleepover at his house, in the midst of the night, you carried a pillow and walked into her room.

• Riddle found you missing after awhile and tried to find you, locating you in his mother's room, pillow in hand in a ready stance.

• As he tried to stop you, he finally felt the regrets creeping up on him. He knew that his actions had consequences and he had created a monster worse than overblotting.

Leona Kingscholar

• The lion had finally had enough of it. He swiftly hunted his prey down and murdered it with a smile on his face, making sure that you spectate his grandiose hunt.

• As your eyes gazed towards it's limbs, Leona seemed to pick it up as a cue to dismantle them, further torturing you in the inside. What else can a magicless human like you do, right? The hopelessness you felt as you watched on slowly drove you to a path of insanity. And yet, the lion continues on, reveling in that crushed hopes of yours.

• Tears started to form as your vision blurs. However, your lips starts to creep up to a smile. Leona did perceive it as a surprise, seeing that you finally showed some form of emotions. Should he have felt happy about that? Now that is the true question he had to ask himself not just in the present, but also the future.

• One day, he caught you strangling a Savannaclaw student, but scoffed at the sight of it initially. What can a weak and magicless herbivore do? • That is well, until he sees the Savannaclaw student starts to foam from his mouth. Upon registering that the student is dying, Leona immediately used his fullest strength to pull you apart.

• When he confronts you about this situation in a serious manner, you adopted his typical smirk. Right back at him. And, of course, this pissed him off big time.

• Let's just say that the lion had some disciplining to do.

• After the disciplining, you had stayed low for a while. Well, at least enough for Leona to forget about the incident.

• One fine day, as Leona threatens you with the safety of your dearest friends, you walked towards Cheka and laid your hands around his shoulders. Cheka, being a naïve child, thought that you were giving him affection and had no second thoughts to your actions.

• However, from Leona's perspective, he could see your hand slowly creeping at Cheka's neck, which immediately reminds him of the strangulation incident. He started to growl and threatened you, a magicless human, by turning the accessories on your body all to sand.

• Without flinching, your face curved into a twisted smile as your hands gently wrapped around Cheka's neck. You knew exactly what you are doing.

• Leona has finally understood what it means to be fearful and is extremely torn on what to do. His entire body exuded alertness and he could feel his nerves going on full adrenaline.

• He could only think to himself, what exactly has he done?

Twisted Wonderland: Movie based headcanons pt.2

(This list is comprised of headcanons for the main villains based off of skills/habits/& personalities of their movie counterparts. This means that characters such as Ace Trappola, Ortho Shroud, Jack Howl, and Sebek Zigvolt (characters without a clear counterpart) will not be included. Characters based off of ones with little personal info may also not be included. Admittedly, I mainly used the Disney wiki to gather this info. Btw, did y’all know Jafar has a twin sister who’s also a necromancer? He was also supposed to have grown up on the streets, like Aladdin, but it was cut from the final film; I wish it hadn’t been, that’s a fantastic parallel!)

Jamil Viper:

- I hope y’all like sadistic psychopaths, ‘cause that’s Jamil in a nut shell. He appears calm and collected most of the time, making sure to sport a somewhat friendly smile in order to appear somewhat approachable to other students; never assume this means he’ll allow anyone to all over him, Kalim not included. Crossing this boy is a great way to end up in an “unfortunate accident” during practice or chemistry. It’s frightening how easy it is for him to cause such things without feeling even a smidge of guilt, but certainly effective.

- He holds a lot of resentment for Kalim and his family for subjugating the Viper line, making it difficult, if not impossible, for them to ascend beyond their current social class. Jamil aims to change that reality. He hungers for power and has found that it is attainable through his relationship with Kalim. The young aristocratic depends on his aid so much now that Jamil could probably do just about anything he wanted...in exchange for having to babysit Kamil 24/7.

- Actually a pretty punny person! Jamil has a witty, dare I say puntastic, sense of humor; you can tell he’s in a good mood by the amount of them he slips into a conversation. During magic tests he’ll say things like ,I’m just getting fired up,” before launching a fire based attack or, “I’ll just have to blow you away,” for an air one. Kalim finds puns cringey, but laughs just to humor his friend.

Vil Schoenheit:

- Manipulative af. When Vil wants something, he will get it, and is brilliant at convincing others to help him do so. Sometimes it’s through flattery, others, blackmail, and, most often, good old fashioned peer pressure. It’s not always used for the wrong reasons, mind you. If you were able to get him to a farmers market or some establishment where bargaining is still useful, he’d be very influential in getting you a good deal on any item.

- This one isn’t surprising in the least, but he thoroughly enjoys admiring himself in the mirror. In fact, he loves it so much that the Pomefiore dormitory is filled with mirrors. Hopefully the dorm windows never face the sun, otherwise anyone will be blinded by the brightness of the rays reflecting off the reflective surfaces.

- Vil is obsessively meticulous, and a little bit of a control freak. If something has a place it needs to be returned there after its use, failure to do so...well, it’s not pretty. His chemistry measurements are always precise and he’s always sure to read the fine print.

Idia Shroud:

- Idia is pyrokinetic, not to the level of being op though. His abilities have limitations when he’s not using a wand. Definitely has a leg up in fire based spells.

- He’s actually has a bit of a temper, but never shows it in public. Maybe if you demolish a computer in front of him....yeah, that might bring it out.

- Has three aunts; one remembers everything since the moment she was born, another acts like she knows exactly what everyone should be doing with their lives, and the last swears she can kill people just by cutting a piece of thread. Idia thinks they're all nuts and need to be institutionalized.

Leona Kingscholar:

- He loaths the song "It's a Small World" with a firey passion; sing it to him if you're craving a knuckle sandwich.

- Other than marital arts, he's a talented actor. Dude can convincingly fake cry and quote Shakespeare! Too bad Night Raven doesn't have a drama department....or do they? (Does the cafe have poetry night? Cause Leona would love that!)

Maleus Draconia:

- Has a pet crow back home named Damian. He cares more about that bird than most everyone else in his life. (Yeah, yeah, I know Crowley is probably based off of Diablo, but the damn bird is one of the few things villain Maleficent canonically cares about. Let the boy have his bird, damnit!)

- Mal has a habit of referring to his underclassmen as his "pets" along with many other demeaning nicknames.

- Look, the man is a sadist at heart. Why no one is taking advantage of this fact, I have no clue!

part two

A Royal Pain - jilliancares

Summary: Dan Howell is a prince. Unlike most, known for their benevolent behaviors and elegant manners, he’s known for his sullen mood and vituperative remarks. After all, being a prince is not much fun; not with the lack of friends and the abundance of dumb tasks, such as trying to find the perfect bride and hosting dinners with nobles. Dan only has one friend, a prince from the neighboring kingdom Leona, and his days improve greatly when Phil finally comes to visit. However, with Phil comes a variety of strange accidents, all of which putting his friend’s life in danger. Is someone trying to assassinate Phil? And what can Dan do to stop it, to save his friend?

A Wizard’s Misgivings - jilliancares

Summary: Dan Howell’s entire family has been in Slytherin, and there’s no doubt he’d supposed to end up there too. Phil Lester does’t exactly know what to do when he finds himself liking boys, so he’s usually just horrendously mean to them. Oh, and they happen to get cursed and can’t touch!

Better With You By My Side - pianodan

Dan and Phil are both sons of rich families and are sent to ballroom dancing lessons. Because there is a shortage of girls, Dan and Phil end up as partners.

Bury Your Flame - botanistlester

Summary: After receiving a dragon egg when his grandfather passed away, Phil is forced to ask for help from the local dragon tamer. As he soon finds out, Dan Howell is nothing he’s been expecting. Infuriating, ludicrous, and completely lacking respect, Dan is everything Phil hates. But Phil will do anything to make his grandfather proud, even if that means getting help from the local cluck.

But Love Is Overrated Anyways - dansphlevels

Summary: Dan is an angry mutant with ability to control the cold. He shares a tent with a man Phil, who has powers over fire, but refuses to use it for evil. Dan has no such moral qualms.

Celadon - grooveyle

Summary: Dan lives in a world of black and white, only to be brought to color when one is united with their one soulmate. But Dan found who’s supposed to be his soulmate… two years ago. So why is it that he’s finally seeing all the colors now, when he lays eyes on a boy he doesn’t know?

Etheral - Sin-n-city

AU- Super powers. Dan’s not normal. In fact, he’s never met a single person exactly like him. No one else can move objects with their mind, just by a simple thought. He lives life carefully, limited interactions and semi-non-existent social life. That is, until a pair of sapphire blue eyes change everything.

Every Saturday Morning - wavydanrises

Summary: Dan’s life was uneventful, working at a law firm, trying (and failing) to stay on top of his work despite his ADHD getting in the way, and playing the piano on Saturdays. But things changed when he found a phone number in a book, and finds someone who makes him want to follow his dreams.

It’s no surprise, then, that the omega has yet to find a mate, despite craving one rather a lot. It’s not until he attends Louise’s birthday party and gets accidentally-on-purpose set up with an attractive alpha named Phil Lester who smells absolutely heavenly that Dan starts to fall into a proper romance, complete with courting and scenting and the like.

Home For Christmas - daniactuallysnuffledthatpopcorn

Summary: Every year Dan goes to a ballet performance of the Nutcracker around Christmas (he even starts to enjoy it after a while), but what he’s really waiting for is the nights he gets to spend with one of the lead dancers after the show.

In My Way - ineverhadmyinternetphase

“Listen” - adorkablephil

Summary: Phil is a successful YouTuber, and Dan is a fan desperate for attention. Sounds like 2009, right? Except Phil is Deaf.

Love Yourself - imnotinclinedtomaturity

He’s currently lacking inspiration, he’s rather lonely, and he’s stuck in a rut. Dan’s been going to the same coffee shop for years. It’s quiet, it’s quaint, it’s near his home. Most importantly: none of the employees give a shit that he’s a world-famous singer. Things change when he meets the new barista.

Moving On - adorkablephil

Summary: Post-TATINOF. Wanting to move his content in a more serious direction (not to mention the fact that he’s been following Phil around since he was a teenager and has no idea who he is on his own), Dan moves out in order to separate his “brand” from Phil’s. Is there any way their friendship can survive? Or will it be changed forever?

Because of this, he was transferred into the special school, Dahlia Academy, which was built to harbor students with magical abilities. Here, he meets Dan Howell, a cold and distant pyromaniac who doesn’t get close to anyone.

Sidetracked - phanimist

Dan and Phil are both contestants on ‘The Bachelorette’, but fall in love with each other instead of the girl.

Someday - philsdrill

Summary: “Everyone had a link with their soulmates, some could hear some of their partners thoughts, some had a tattoo that would appear with their partners name; for me, I knew when they got sick.” For a while Phil has thought that his soulmate might have an eating disorder and doesn’t expect to meet him in the restaurant where he works.

The Summer - auroraphilealis, botanistlester

Summary: Dan Howell has spent the last three summers at Camp Bergamot, but it’s never been quite like this before. This year, he faces a summer full of new friends, a new relationship, and an entirely new view on his own sexuality. Perhaps Camp Bergamot should be renamed camp self discovery  for all the changes Dan has gone through, but one thing’s for sure - despite all the hiccups and the drama, he just might have found the love of his life.

Too High (Can't Come Down) - danfanciesphil

Summary: Suspending himself 7,000 feet above the rest of the world seems likely to be a sure-fire way for Dan to escape normality, and isolate himself for the foreseeable future. The Secret of the Alps, a small hotel tucked into the side of the Swiss mountains is too niche for most avid adventurers to have heard of, making it the perfect place for Dan to work as he sorts through his problems. Unfortunately, privacy is a coveted thing, and as Dan soon finds out, the hotel harbours one guest who values it more than most.

Elementals

The elementals are the only true immortals in Nyeusigrube. They are not gods, though they have at times masqueraded as such in order to be worshiped. In their natural forms, they can see and hear, and they can drift through the minds of mortals, but they cannot otherwise interact with the natural world. In order to gain a physical form, they must be bound to the mortal realm. Each elemental is bound in a different way: fire by blood; earth by flesh; air by breath; and water by tears.

The elementals, also sometimes called sakkri’e, are the only true immortals in Nyeusigrube. They are not gods, though they have at times masqueraded as such in order to be worshiped. In their natural forms, they can see and hear, and they can drift through the minds of mortals, but they cannot otherwise interact with the natural world. In order to gain a physical form, they must be bound to the mortal realm.

There is no way of knowing when or how the sakkri’e were created, but most scholars agree that their essence goes back as far as the world itself. The sakkri’e themselves do not recall, as a young elemental has no awareness of its own existence, and no memory. It is not until humans started to lift their eyes and ponder the heavens that any of the sakkri’e became aware. Some of them touched the dreams of human beings, and over the course of years, created a sense of self out of the absent thoughts of thousands of mortals. Masquerading as gods, the spirits of the dead, or other illusions, they gained power through the worship of humankind.

Out of the countless, formless sakkri’e who exist as candle flames, ocean waves and north winds, only a handful ever reached this state. However, those that did invariably craved more. What is the knowledge of touch without flesh, or the understanding of song without ears? What is existence without the ability to manipulate the world? Flesh and bone and blood and breath are mortal powers. The ability to touch and affect the world is a gift only allowed those whose years are fleeting; it is not something the immortal sakkri’e can do on their own.

In order to gain these powers, an elemental must bind itself to the mortal world. Each elemental is bound in a different way: fire by blood; earth by flesh; air by breath; and water by tears. To bind an elemental thus, a mortal must make the appropriate sacrifice. Often, in return, he will gain part of the elemental’s immortality. A bound fire elemental is known as a uala; an earth elemental is known as a k’jait; air is known as a chime; water is known as a lyr. The most famous sakkri’e to ever make this trade (and most pertinent to Nyeusigrube) is Leona, a fire elemental who was bound by brother and sister Zadre and Diosa in approximately 33,000 BCE. Her immortality is what gives power to all the greater and lesser Nyeusi. In return, they feed, maintaining her mortality.

With each progressive step toward mortality, an elemental gains weaknesses. Mortals name almost everything around them, and only with that given name can an elemental maintain its sense of self. However, once named, it must answer to its name and obey the one who calls it. For this reason, most sakkri’e hide their true names, especially once they are bound to this plain. Once bound, an elemental can be contained; its mortal form can be killed, which would hurtle the elemental back into the formless mass, and likely destroy its hard-won self-awareness. Such power over the immortal is sought by many and achieved by few- and always with a high cost.

Elementals known in Nyeusigrube: Leona (fire): bound by Zadre and Diosa

Lashandra (fire): controlled by the Clan of the Flames, in Egypt, until the high priest’s second, Fala, freed her

Cirjs (fire): bound and controlled by Damon and Riza Vida, exiled witches, until she made a trade with a Spartan mortal named Aubrey for her freedom

Leshan (earth): named and bound by Jeshickah, the first while she was mortal and the latter after the first Midnight fell

Lance (earth) and Vervain (air): two very young elementals, who work together and perform as part of the band Poisoned Chocolate.

Velten (earth): named in 1798 by the spirit-witch of the Shantel, and bound in modern day by Ryan le Coire's coven.
