#OC: alexius

Eris Vanserra and my OC Alexius. I commissioned this to celebrate the end of my fanfic Pull Me in Deeper, and @jennastokesart absolutely blew me away. This is exactly how I picture them and they are both so beautiful and sexy. Check out under the cut for close-ups and more details, and you can read all of my Eris x Alexius works here.

Okay, but seriously? Have you seen prettier faces? I love Eris' pouty lips and snatched jaw line, and I'm obsessed with Alexius' beauty mark and subtle purple eyes shadow. They are the prettiest couple in all of Prythian. She really captured their dynamic perfectly in their expressions, with Eris more severe and intimidating and Alexius leaning towards mischievous and playful.

One of the things that I asked the artist was to incorporate the leather bracelets that they give to each other in PMID. You can see here that Alexius has the red leather strap representing Eris with the moon charm that represents Lunavalles. Eris' tan leather bracelet that represents Alexius is also visible just under his sleeve. Also peep the subtle hand-holding.

The detailing on both of their clothes is really spectacular. I'm especially obsessed with the more Autumn style blouse and corset that the artist gave to Alexius to go along with the Day Court Golden sash. She really mixed Alexius' masculine and feminine styling choices perfectly. And of course, I had to get a close up on Eris' cunty arm on his sword.

A little gift for my good friend @zenkindoflove

Her OC Alexius is so special! He's got such a fun personality and I've been loving her fic Pull Me in Deeper which you can read here!

This is definitely an AU interpretation of them, but it's something fun I've been enjoying! =D

Omg, thank you so much!!! 😍😭

And thank you to some of the people who already reblogged and left nice comments. ❤️❤️❤️ I am going to be reading these all evening. <3 I had a really rough day today, and this was truly a really great surprise and lifted my mood completely.

The Eris fandom has really been so warm and welcoming. I wasn't sure what my place would be in it. When I first looked up Eris x Male OC on the AO3 tags, there were 7 fics and most did not have that tag as the focus. So I really wasn't sure if there would be people that wanted to read what I wanted to write. But everyone I have met has really embraced and supported me. I can honestly say that starting to write for Eris has made me a better writer and a lot of that has to do with all of you, reading your works, and interacting with you on tumblr and in comments on AO3.

I'm really excited to share with you all more of my Eris x Alexius works for Eris week! I have some really fun, sexy, and even heart wrenching fics planned which you can see the summaries on my masterlist preview here. I also have some commissions that I can't wait to share!

We're thrilled to shine a light on @zenkindoflove!!! Amanda is an absolute gem in the Elucien fandom AND Eris fandom and has also blessed us with Alexius, her incredible OC for her Eris x OC fics.

Alexius stands out as one of the few male OCs in the community, and the dynamic between him and Eris is nothing short of captivating. Think forced proximity, delicious yearning, witty banter, political intrigue, and all the tension you could dream of. You can see them in both Summer Heat (which has Elucien) and Pull Me in Deeper, which... y'all you gotta read this asap😍🤭🥵 Also the mods are begging you to read Taste of You, a short and delightfully smutty one shot.

And PLEASE admire this amazing art of Alexius and Eris!

Read more to learn about how @zenkindoflove was inspired to create content about Eris AND her extremely helpful tips for writing content about him. (We're taking notes)

What inspired you to start creating content about Eris?  I became curious about writing Eris after he was featured in some of my Elucien fics. When I started my multichapter Elucien fic Summer Heat, I decided that I would give him a male love interest in that fic and create an OC - which ended up being Alexius who you see featured in all of my Eris work. I originally intended for it to be a background relationship, but I decided to experiment and write the scene of their first meeting (a very smutty scene) just to do some character exploration. I didn’t intend to include it in the fic, but then once I wrote it, I knew that it was something special and Eris x Alexius became a true B storyline in that fic with a fully fleshed out love story. After that, I wanted to expand and write fics that focused on them which I've written several now and more to come for Eris Week! It's a bit niche. Hardly anyone writes Eris x Male OC but I'm obsessed now.

What's your favorite piece you've created featuring Eris and why? 

That would be my Eris x Alexius multichapter fic - Pull Me in Deeper. I love it because it was a way for me to explore Eris’ character when he is out of the watchful eye of his father and others in Prythian. It’s also just a fun action/adventure/romance story and I got to explore more lore and character building for my OC Alexius as well. Alexius was designed to be, in my opinion, the perfect person for Eris and that means often standing in contrast to a lot of his personality traits and pushing him outside of his comfort zone. So it was an incredibly fun dynamic to explore. And it’s two gay men who are on a quest to find out (*spoilers*) if unicorns exist XD.

How do you approach writing dialogue for Eris? 

I tend to lean into Eris being more careful with his words - so he is sharp, concise, and efficient in his word choice. Depending on who he’s sharing a scene with and the context, he can be severe and short or he can be long-winded and eloquent. And of course, he has banter and jabs a plenty. So I try to balance all those sides of him depending on the context.

Do you have any advice for other creators wanting to make Eris content? 

Eris inhabits a unique space in canon where he is truly a free agent when it comes to relationships. So, I would recommend if you want to write romances with Eris to lean into self-indulgence and write the pairing/story you really want to tell and try to let go of what you think will be popular. And if that ends up being Eris x OC rather than a canon character, know that it can actually be such a rewarding experience even if you don’t have a built in audience. Creating an OC to pair with Eris has been immensely fun and has broadened my creativity. Eris is a complex, interesting character with so many layers and building someone to fit him and find out what is underneath all of those layers can lead you down quite an obsessive path. But a fun one. 

Please give us a name for one of Eris’s Brothers

Kian. He is the third oldest and is more of a scholarly type. Now that second brother Conan is dead, he is next in line after Eris.

Please give us a name for one of Eris's Dogs.

Lithia. She just had puppies in PMID and Eris is worried about her.

@erisweekofficial Eris Week 2024 Day 1: Bonds | Bargains

Artist: @luciensdefenseattorney /@/cedakotes on instagram

I commissioned this piece of Eris x Alexius (Male OC) for Eris Week. I wanted something that really captured not only their personalities but also the tender love between them. If you're unfamiliar with Alexius, he is a Day Court OC who is a Pegasus rider and kin to Helion. He is the sunshine in Eris' life, bringing his fun, flirty personality and unabashed need to show him love and affection. I always write them as mates because I think Eris deserves a deep, soul-connection bond with someone who can open him up and doesn't shy away from proudly loving him.

I'll be posting lots of Eris x Alexius stories this week, but in the meantime if you'd like to check out my other Erixius works you can here, including the first fic I wrote that included them, Summer Heat, which this art is loosely inspired by and the below quote is from:

A little fantasy played out in Eris’ mind. One where he wasn’t recognizable. He was an ordinary, common person, a consideration that would normally repulse him. He wasn’t heir to the Autumn Court, and instead of sitting here, taking a moment to stupidly give into his desires and speak to Alexius, he had come to the beach with him. How different would this conversation go if that had been the case? Would he reach out and touch him without hesitation, unbothered by what others would think and report back? Would he reveal the parts of himself he desperately wanted another to see, to acknowledge, and to accept?

There's a rather big discrepancy in terms of what troopers from other battalions think of Sponge. The rowdier/more troublesome squads think they're rather aggressive and argumentative authoritarian, while the calmer/less mischievous squads find them to be quite the soft-spoken and composed individual. The reality is, Sponge only ever feels the need to lecture you if they think you got up to stupid shenanigans that got you (or others) hurt for no good reason... Otherwise they're pretty good company all things considered! Generally the only consistent opinion is that Beautiful, their barghest, is an absolute little sweetheart that can do no wrong and will always be happy to see you. She's got a very easy personality to narrow down it seems... Which is fair enough since she is a rather simple beast with simple needs and desires!

Two very different toned attacks for @chedaar21 and @mire-draws-things of their clone OCs (Captain Alexius and ARC Trooper Gaze) interacting with both Sponge and Beau.

As a medic it's Sponge's job to check up on any trooper that might need a once-over or a quick patch-up job. Even ones outsider of their own battalion. Whether or not they're gonna find themselves on their good side tho...
