(frying pan incident), reader is a criminal, fem!reader, lowkey abusive and manipulative "mother", kidnapping, magic, Bbokari as Pascal Summary -> After stealing a particularly precious item from the King and Queen, the royal guards push you deep into the woods during an exhilarating chase. You stumble across an interesting tower and start to climb, unaware of what you will come across once you reach the inside. Or rather, who you will come across and how this unique person will completely change the trajectory of your life. Author's Note -> I am like the biggest fan of Tangled. It's my all time favorite Disney movie. And when I think of Felix the first thing that comes to mind is sunshine and I feel like he is so Rapunzel coded. So yeah... don't mind that this fic is literally just all my favorite things combined. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Also this was only supposed to be one part, but I'm slowly starting to realize I'm really bad at writing short stories... so this story will definitely be multiple parts!

Masterlist ♡ Next Part

You pant, desperately trying to catch your breath as your legs move faster than they ever have before. They are starting to ache, along with your feet, your lungs, and just about everywhere else. But you can't stop, not right now. Not with the heavy footsteps just a few feet behind you and horses loud in the distance.

You stole something. Well, technically you have stolen many things, but what can you say? You were an orphan and never given the chance to make money more nobly. And this time, the object was just something you couldn't pass up.

You keep running, eyes trained directly in front of you. You desperately want to look behind you to see how much time you have, see just how much danger you're in, but the adrenaline and fear have you locked in. You won't stop, won't glance back at the angry guards until you manage to get some headway.

Your boot-clad feet heavily trample the ground underneath you, damaging the delicate blades of grass and petals of flowers that seem to multiply by the second. If only you were able to look down, you would notice the nature changing subtly underneath you. The rocky area you were previously in changed into a thick forest, covered in clover and wildflower.

If you weren't in this situation, perhaps you would've taken the moment to admire it. To take in your surroundings, breathing in the beauty of nature. But again, now's not the time. Maybe one day you will have the ability to stop and smell the flowers, but today there are more important matters at hand.

You hear a twig snap behind you and an unsettling crash. You instantly realize it to be a branch in the path that you had just jumped over. Luckily enough, after years of training, running, and stealing you can navigate your way through many terrains if needed. However, it seems like the guards behind you weren't so lucky. You swiftly turn your head and find exactly what you expect. The two burly men who had been hot on your trail now lay on a pile on the grass as the distance grows between you and them. You chuckle a bit to yourself upon realizing they must have dropped like dominos, one tripping with the other landing right on top. At this point, you were thankful for anything that could make you laugh.

Looking back ahead of you, you zone back into your mission. Your body aching to take a breather. You take a sharp turn, long used to getting out of these situations. This route change leads you down a steep hill. You almost tumble all the way down, but thankfully your dark brown boots have enough traction on them to help you safely make your way down. You jump off the last little way because what's escaping without a little extra adventure.

Now being back on the soft flat grass, you take in your surroundings, analyzing to try to make the best choice. The guys weren't likely to stay down for too long, so you have to make a decision and fast. You don't have time to try to get ahead, they would catch up in no time.

You realize you have been running for a while to try to escape the men. You weren't keeping track, but this is about as far as you have ever made it outside the kingdom. Everything looks untouched, giving off the vibes that maybe you shouldn't be here. It's ethereal looking, yet a bit unsettling at how everything seems to be in perfect harmony. The branches on the trees sway harshly in the wind and feels as if you were the one to disturb the peace, your presence entirely unwelcome.

You shake off the thoughts and roll your shoulders a bit. This was not the time for superstitions or paranoia.

'Maybe if those stupid guards hadn't chased me for so long,' you think bitterly. But in reality, you know you can't hold it against them. It's just their job, just like this is yours. It's just the way it is.

Typically you would have everything completely planned out. Especially the escape route. But, there was really no way to prepare for this. You usually don't get caught soon enough to actually get chased.

Panic floods your body as you begin to hear angry voices again. You're running out of time. The goal today was not to go to prison. You sigh angrily realizing there really isn't any simple escape route this time around. Before your brain even processes it, your feet are moving on their own accord, simply in fight or flight mode. But, today seems to be your lucky day and nature seems to be on your side.

You glance behind you after a few steps noticing that the men still hadn't caught up enough for you to be in their vision. In this slight hesitation, your foot catches on a branch growing from the ground likely belonging to one of the beautiful weeping willow trees surrounding you. It appears that the trees have inhabited this place for ages, their roots buried deep into the group and long wispy branches that hide practically everything behind them.

You stumble forward, your arms unable to find anything to grasp. You land harshly on your knees, making you hiss out in pain. You were definitely going to be covered in grass stains after this.

You quickly gather yourself, standing to your feet taking in your new surroundings. You falter a bit, unsteady due to the weight of your backpack making you a bit unbalanced. You must have fallen through into a small cave. The willow's long branches came down to hang in the entrance, blocking anyone from seeing the small hideaway. You're surrounded by rough, cool stone. There's a noticeable temperature difference that provides relief to your damp skin. The sun was beating on you aggressively the whole run, but hey at least it was bright enough out to see in front of you. It was the only reason you were brave enough to do this in broad daylight. Although it was easier to slip away in the dark, sometimes the paths of the kingdom and the forest surrounding can get pretty difficult to navigate after dark.

You hear heavy footsteps coming from the area you had just narrowly managed to escape. They sound pretty scattered, your mind providing you with the image of multiple royal guards rushing into the serene environment. You almost giggle at the thought of them all dressed head to toe in golden armor. A large sun engrained in their chest plate.

You peek slightly through the covering, seeing exactly what you had imagined. They are searching the area hastily in hopes of finding any clues as to which way you went. They look like children playing dress up, some of their spartan-like helmets falling over their eyes when they turn their heads obviously not fitting them properly.

One stalks past the opening, startling you backward. You hold your breath in fear. They may look silly, but that doesn't diminish the fact that they could positively ruin your life if they manage to capture you. You make your way farther into the cave, expecting to run into a rock wall blocking you in. You had planned to just hide it out in here until it was safe to leave, but soon you realize there may be another way to go about it. It seems to not really be a cave like you had initially thought. Rather, it appeared to be a tunnel of some sort. As you continue to walk the light grows dim. Before you know it, you can no longer see more than 2 steps in front of you. You put your arms out trying to feel in front of you. It would suck to run face-first into solid rock.

You bite your lip gently, starting to grow a little nervous at the lack of light and ability to see what's ahead. But you just have to deal with it at this point, anything to put more distance between you and the angry guards.

Soon you spy a light at the end of the tunnel, opposite from where you entered. You no longer hear any yelling or stomping and it gives you hope that maybe on the other side, there would be no one searching for you. They surely would have made it there by now if they could find it, right?

You emerge from the tunnel, eyes squinting as the sun's bright rays abuse your eyes again. When you finally adjust to the new lighting, you look around in amazement. You were somehow in a completely new area, large mountains and hills blocking the place in. It was unlike anything you had ever seen before. You had thought where you had just come from looked untouched, but this right here was actual nature at its finest.

It wouldn't be hard to believe you were the first human to step foot here in ages, the area completely overgrown with plants and animals. Yet, there was one unavoidable thing that proved that theory wrong. Standing high amid the greenery was a tall tower. It appeared nearly ancient, the stone crumbling a bit with vines wrapping their way up the walls.

It's honestly mystical with a stunning waterfall coming from one of the mountains just beyond the tower, painting the scene with a light mist. You notice that as the sun hits the vapor just right it creates little mini rainbows.

"Woah" you whisper. You aren't usually the type of person to talk to yourself, mostly preferring to keep your thoughts in your mind, but at this moment it felt perfectly justified. You spin in a circle, trying to take everything in. You had never really seen anything like this, despite the beautiful architecture the kingdom was made up of. This felt like something out of a fairy tale. Which you were so not used to. You aren't typically the main character. More likely the shady best friend or the villain who never really lives up to their name.

For a minute, you feel like someone else. Like one of the beautiful girls in the books you read who end up with the loves of their lives. Or even the protagonist in a high fantasy novel. At this point, you honestly wouldn't be that surprised if a fairy with sparkling wings flew out in front of you. It didn't even really feel like real life.

You approach the tower, eager to explore what you have found. You make sure to carefully walk across the wood that appears to have been thrown over the stream haphazardly in an attempt at a bridge. It doesn't exactly look stable and you weren't looking to get wet. But it was the only way across and you just had to get a closer look.

Surprisingly, you make it across with no damage and you sigh in relief. The material of your outfit does not feel nice wet. You had learned that the hard way last time you had stolen something.

You scan the perimeter of the tower, shocked at the realization that there is no door. You double-check, a little put-off at the idea, and again find no door. Not even an opening or one that had been covered by the overgrown bushes and flowers that had taken over the landscape.

'Who makes a tower with no entrance?' you question, your stomach turning slightly beginning to get an eerie feeling. It was just a little… odd. But who were you to say how something should be built? You aren't exactly an architect. And maybe things were just built differently back then.

You knew it was ridiculous to try and justify something as weird as this, but you couldn't help your brain trying to connect the dots. But it just doesn't make sense. You take a few steps back, trying to figure out how to approach the situation. The lack of an entrance is disheartening as you were beginning to think maybe you could've stayed here for a while. There was no way you could go back to the villages of the kingdom right now. They would definitely be searching for you. And if you could find an easy way into this place, it would be a nice spot to hide out until everything cools down.

You spot windows near the top of the tower and suddenly you realize, the window directly above you is wide open. That is your chance. You feel around the stone bricks that make up the base of the building hoping you can catch your fingers in the cracks. You manage to get a little bit of a grip, but not much. There's no way you could make it all the way up there by just climbing. None of the rocks jut out enough.

You gasp out, an idea rushing into your head. You reach down where a leather sheath is strapped to your thigh. You carefully grab your dagger out. it was only one, but it could definitely help. You didn't like carrying a knife on you, but it did become really useful sometimes. You didn't use it much, especially not to hurt people. It's more of a just-in-case option. You bring the metal up to your eyes admiring how the afternoon sunlight reflects off it, the handle carefully engrained with beautiful roses.

You would be lying if you said it didn't kind of make you feel like a badass.

You lodge the dagger into the cracks and use it to try and pull yourself up a bit. It was definitely helpful as you thought. You kick your feet against the stone, hoping to find a decent push-off spot. With the traction on your shoes and your leather gloves protecting your hands both providing a bit of grip, this might actually be possible. And at this point, what exactly did you have to lose? It would be such a nice shelter to rest in for the night.

You carefully, make your way up the tower, thankful for the wood that occasionally wraps the bricks giving you a place to catch your breath.

Finally, you manage to make it to the top, your chest heaving slightly and your fingers burning from the pressure. In your haste to pull yourself up the last little bit of the wall and slide through the window, you fail to notice the soft noises coming from inside. There's some shuffling, but you brush it off assuming it's some animal that had also decided to make this place its shelter.

You throw your leg through the window taking a second to sit there and catch your breath. You're straddling the bit of wood framing the window, it's delicately carved and decorated with light purple flowers on the ledge. You take a mental note of them, hoping to admire them later once you're settled.

Deeming yourself steady enough, you pull your other leg through standing up in the large room. As much as you want to take everything in, you first slip your backpack off. Nervous that things had gotten jostled on the way up. You open the buckle and slip the top open. You set the bag gently on the ground, squatting next to it as you pull out a sparkling crown.

You sigh in relief that it was still there, it hadn't fallen out. There wasn't even a singular scratch on it. The feeling of the cool metal weighing heavy in your hands punches a sigh of relief from your lungs.

"Thank God," you whisper to yourself, breaking the gentle silence of the room you entered. You had stolen the crown. It’s why the royal guards were after you. You had entered the castle through the ceiling and stolen the crown, the guards just barely noticing as you were exiting. It was the most valued object in the whole kingdom. The importance of the crown is in how it is associated with the lost prince.

It was the most well-known story in the country and maybe even the whole world. Everyone had been so ecstatic. The Queen and King were having a baby. An heir to take over the throne when they grew old and gray. But, the Queen had grown increasingly sick as the pregnancy progressed. You had been just a baby when all this was happening, but over the years you have heard of the story many times. It was hard not to. It was everywhere you went.

Thankfully, the Queen recovered. They had found a magical flower that had the power to heal her. The baby came soon after and the whole kingdom rejoiced. They had a beautiful baby boy, with golden locks and soft skin. They released a bright lantern into the indigo sky in celebration.

However, everything went wrong that night. The new parents had heard their baby cry in the early hours of the morning but when they got there he was already gone. Never to be seen again. They still hold hope that maybe one day their baby will return home. Even going as far as to hold an annual festival for him and releasing hundreds of floating lanterns into the sky on his birthday. It was honestly a gorgeous sight.

You go to put the crown back into your bag, still nervous to get scratches or fingerprints on it. It was worth a lot of money. A deal you couldn’t pass up. Just as your fingers leave the smooth metal you hear a shuffling noise coming from your side. Your head shoots up looking to discover where the noise is coming from.

You're shocked at the sight that greets you. You stand up, nearly stumbling back at the surprise. There in front of you was… another human? How in the world had he gotten up here? You didn't hear anyone else climb up after you and it's hard to believe someone could do that silently. Did that mean they had already been here when you arrived? Why were they here?

So many questions flood your head that you barely have time to react as an object comes flying toward your head. You quickly duck down, just barely missing the dark metal by an inch. You pop back up, thankfully agile from all your years as a criminal. Once you regain your footing, your eyes take in the sight of a young man standing in front of you. He has probably the lightest blonde hair you have ever seen in your life paired with deep brown eyes. The sun shines on him, making him look as if he was the sun lighting up the room. You're a little taken aback at the sight of him. Typically you are pretty good at reading people, but it seems like you aren't exactly making the best choices today. He doesn't exactly look like the type to try to hit somebody over the head with a heavy frying pan, but here he is sanding with the weapon of choice in his right hand.

He stares back at you while standing in a nervous, defensive stance. But to be fair, you would also be feeling quite uncomfortable if you had tried to take someone's head off and somehow managed to miss.

The stare lasts longer than most people would deem necessary, silence yet again filling the large stone room. Yet, neither of you break it. You're still reeling in shock from the frying pan.

Finally, you gather yourself and question him. "Did you really just try to hit me with a frying pan?" you ask in disbelief. His eyes widen when you speak. He looks more shocked than you feel, which is really saying something. He looks as if he has never interacted with another human before. For a split second, you wonder if maybe you were being too harsh on him.

But before you can get another word in a call sounds from outside.

"Felix, my love, I'm home," a woman yells in the distance. The boy's, who you now assume to be Felix, head shoots to the window in a panic. He turns to you, now looking even more anxious than before.

"You have to go, you have to go like now. She will actually hurt you. Like with more than a frying pan," he whispers as he comes much closer, his voice a surprisingly gravelly tone. You can practically feel the vibrations of it on your skin and you're stunned for a moment, frozen in place. He grabs your wrist, not unkindly, and leads you to the back wall of the room. You watch him carefully as he proceeds to open the door to an armoire, making you wonder what exactly his plan is. He gestures inside and you simply stare at him struggling to comprehend the situation.

"I'm not hiding in your closet," you spit, slightly insulted he would even suggest that.

"Do you want to get killed?" He asks, his tone firmer this time. You can tell he's serious, and your hands start to shake upon realizing how urgent he sounds.

He continues on despite your silence, eager to get you to follow along. "Listen, I don't know who you are or why you're here, but this is really bad timing. I was going talk to her about something important and now... you're here," he starts sounding utterly defeated. He knows explaining the situation to a random stranger likely wasn't going to help, but he was still going to try.

"She doesn't normally listen to me and she definitely won't if she has to deal with you, so just please hide. Just until I can get her to leave. Then I guess I'll figure out what to do," he finishes with a sigh and stares back at you hopefully. You simply nod slowly a little stunned. Felix realizes this is the closest he'll probably get to agreeance and doesn't try to convince you any further.

He grabs your hand gently as you step into the closet, helping you stay stable in the crowded space. You're surrounded by clothes of every color, so many blues and pinks that if you squint hard enough you can practically imagine you're walking into cotton candy.

"Just stay quiet, I'll try to get her to go away," He states quietly. He nods at you reassuringly and it comforts you. You still feel very trapped, but you no longer feel as nervous, rather trusting the man to take care of it for you. You don't know why he hasn't freaked out at you yet, but if he was going to, it probably would've already happened. He shuts the door slowly, dimming the small space. You watch his figure until the last little bit of light can no longer slip through, shutting you off from the room you had just been in.

Thank God you're not claustrophobic.

Once the door is completely shut, you're unable to see anything aside from black for a while, your eyes refusing to adjust to the sudden darkness. However, you listen carefully to everything happening outside the armoire in hopes of getting a better read on everything happening.

You hear Felix shuffling around in the room, obviously cleaning things up and maybe even hiding things considering his fearful reaction to the women's yell. You can hear her shout again from outside, but you can no longer make out what she says. The wood is too thick to depict more than a murmur. But, Felix seems to have heard what she has said. The noises from the room get much louder and rushed. Before suddenly they stop.

You hold your breath in the quiet, anxiously waiting for what comes next.

Felix takes a deep breath, glancing around the room one last time to make sure everything is nice and clean. He had noticed your bag left by the window, the stolen crown peeking out. A little chick, whom Felix had named Bbokari had been poking around next to it making him laugh in adoration of the small creature. He must have hidden when you had broken in, scared of the stranger. But that was to be expected, considering every time mother arrived home, Felix would tell the small chick to hide, pushing him out of sight. Now, Mother wasn't mean or an animal abuser. She had never hurt Bbokari before, but Felix honestly did not want to take that chance. She wasn't exactly a fan of critters or any type of outsider making their way into her tower.

He gives the chick a tiny pat on the head with his index finger, the small bird tweeting happily, before curiously picking up the crown. It shined brightly, the sun catching on the metal as he picked it up.

What in the world? he thinks in confusion. Out of all the things Mother has brought home, this is definitely not something he's seen before. It does, however, remind him of the fairytales he had read as a kid before she had confiscated them in an angry fit. She didn't like when he read about that stuff. It had confused him greatly, as she had never really told him why. So, rather than reading about princesses he was often stuck with books about nature or fiction stories about romance.

The chick pecks at his foot, urgently, trying to remind him of the situation at hand. He snaps out of it quickly putting the crown back in the leather bag. He brings it over to the stairs in the corner. He peels back the one broken step, shoving the bag beneath it. Not even mother knew of this hiding spot. He had to hide the bag, she would ask way too many questions about where that came from. He knows that realistically he should be scared about a stranger practically breaking into the tower. But maybe there's a small part of him that wants to prove himself to his mother. Show her that he really can handle himself. He's turning 18 tomorrow and maybe just maybe now that he's old enough, she'll let him go.

He's had this dream since he was little, to see the floating lights. Every year, they appear on his birthday. Hundreds of bright yellow lights fill the sky, and he cannot seem to figure out why. Either way though, he can't help but feel like they're meant for him. And every year, without fail, he watches them. He looks forward to it all year round, waiting for the day he can see the floating lights gleam again. It's his dream to see them up close in person, but it's starting to seem like it may be simply that- just a dream. How silly of him to think it's something that could actually happen.

Mother becomes very angry anytime he asks to leave the tower, or simply mentions anything about the outside world, but he feels confident this time. She's definitely going to let him go; she has to right? It's his only hope.

"Darling, I'm not getting any younger down here," Mother Gothel yells, sounding exasperated. He quickly picks Bbokari up, hiding him on a ledge behind a curtain, giving him a loving smile before rushing to go help her up.

She had created this tower without a door, purposefully hoping to keep him as far away from the outside and other people as she could. And hell, he couldn't blame her. After all the stories she has told him, he's thankful he's never been exposed to the harshness of the world.

Felix jogs over the window, leaning over the edge, feeling the soft spring breeze blow through his hair.

"Coming Mother!" he yells, adding excitement to his voice. Despite his earlier nervousness, he can't help but be excited whenever she comes home. She often takes long trips, only coming home for days at a time. He'll take any sort of human interaction he can get.

Felix grabs the rope from the wall next to the window, swinging it over the hook hanging down. He throws the rope over, watching his Mother grab it harshly once it hits the ground. Since there is no door, they use a sort of pully system. There's a loop at the bottom of the rope that mother slips her foot into and she holds onto the rope as Felix pulls her the rest of the way up.

It was exhausting, but he's gotten used to it over the years. Luckily, he's gotten a lot stronger over the years. Especially since now that he's older she goes on her trips a lot more. Don't get him wrong, he's thankful, he really is as these trips usually involve getting food or gifts for Felix and her. However, the days can get lonely and fast. There's only so much cleaning, baking, painting, and singing a person can do. It's the reason the walls of the tower are completely covered in different paintings. Some have even been painted over multiple times; he ran out of space long ago. Being home alone for days on end without being able to go outside isn't exactly the dream life some people would think. But he gets it. There are reasons he can't go outside and he must abide to keep himself safe.

So, he pushes the anger and resentment deep inside, painting on his happiest face for her to come home to. He finishes pulling her up and wipes a bead of sweat from his face as she finally steps into the sun-lit room.

She walks over to his bed, placing down her basket and shawl before returning to him. She always looks a bit run down when she comes home, her hair a bit more grey, wrinkles on her forehead, and this haunted look in her eyes. Honestly, it's enough to make him never want to go outside.

The woman caresses Felix's cheek gently, looking into his eyes. He has always loved whenever she was gentle with him, providing love and care, but it's starting to becoming rarer with each passing day.

"Felix, I don't know how you manage to do that day after day, dear," She says softly with a bit of concern.

"It's nothing, Mother," he reassures her, despite how exhausting it truly is. She lets go of him, before he can even finish the sentence, her gaze scanning the rest of the room.

"You keep it so nice and clean in here, it's so nice for Mumsy to come home to," she says, always impressed by the things he manages to get done while she's away. Felix cringes a bit at the statement, knowing he had finished cleaning at barely 7:30 am. It truly was the easiest part of the day. Honestly, the hardest part is always the waiting. Waiting for someone, anyone, to talk to or really just anything to do.

Mother walks over to his mirror that stands near the wall. It's circular and nothing fancy, framed in wood, but she looks at it as if it holds all the answers to life, like it's the most important thing in the world. Sometimes Felix wonders if she loves the mirror more than she loves him, but he quickly pushes that thought down, not wanting it to sour his mood anymore than it already has.

He follows her over to the mirror watching in disdain as she examines her face. Lifting her eyebrows and wincing as the skin drops back down, wrinkled and droopy from her trip. She glances up at him, making eye contact through the reflective glass. In this moment, Felix decides he needs to ask her. He's been waiting all day, or really his whole life, and he really just needs to put it out there.

He opens his mouth ready to admit his dream to her, but he's quickly cut off.

"Felix, my love, would you sing for me?" she asks, and despite her trying to hide it, he can detect the desperation in her voice. He's learned to pick out even the slightest change of tone from her over the years.

Felix's eyes widen, almost comically. How could he have forgotten. It's always the first thing she asks for when she gets back. Of course, she would want him to sing for her. His plan is just going to have to wait for a few more minutes.

He nods repeatedly, rushing off again to grab all the necessary supplies. He places Mothers chair down in the center of the room, before grabbing his flimsy stool, setting it in front of the chair. He sits down quickly, trying to hurry the situation along despite knowing how mother likes to take her time during the process. Going too quickly can become a bit more shocking than refreshing, but today was not the time for relaxation.

Mother finally comes over and takes a seat in her usual chair. She grabs Felix's hands and he can only hope she doesn't feel how sweaty they are. He's so nervous about how the conversation is going to go.

His mind is racing as he opens his mouth to start singing. The words coming with ease, practically muscle memory now with how many times he has sang it for her.

"Flower gleam and glow," he starts, his low voice bouncing off the circular walls. He can see her instantly start to relax as his voice fills the room. It makes Felix feel a bit better, knowing how happy it makes her when he sings. As the song continues, he starts to speed up, again eager to get it over with. Mother's eyes open again in panic, wanting the feeling to last longer.

"Wait-" she starts to say, but Felix has already made it to the ending line. As the song comes to a close, Mother jolts forward practically turning into a new person. Her hair is back to it's usual shiny raven color, a new sense of life brimming from her eyes, and all the wrinkles immediately disappearing from her skin. She's young again, just like she likes to be. He can't blame her, who doesn't wish to be young again.

Normally at this time, Felix would compliment her or tell her how he finds her beautiful before and after, but this time there is something else weighing on his mind. He can only hope that the wood of the closet is thick enough and that he had managed to close the door all the way, knowing sometimes it wouldn't latch completely.

This is the last thing he wants you to find out about. He's terrified you'll turn out to be one of those ruffians and thugs Mother warns him about, wanting to steal him away and use him for his magic.

Oh yeah, Felix has this magical ability where he can heal people with just his touch and voice. He can easily make anyone young again and heal all kinds of wounds. It's why he's in this tower, locked away. It's to keep him safe. Mother doesn't want his power to end up in the wrong hands.

She looks down at Felix in disbelief, not understanding why he is acting this way. He stands up abruptly from the small stool, the same one he has sat in since he was a child, and starts to talk, unable to keep it in anymore.

"Mother, tomorrow is a very special day. Do you know what day it is?" he asks, mouth running a mile a minute. She stands up with him, grabbing his wrist lightly, trying to stop him from pacing around the room. All the energy is making her head spin.

He doesn't even wait a second to let her respond, before reminding her, "It's my birthday!"

"Ah ah ah," she starts, "I distinctly remember that your birthday was last year." Felix tries not to let himself physically deflate at this. She always loves to play games like this.

"That's the funny thing about birthdays, they happen every year," he says gently, not wanting to anger her.

"What is it you want this year? How about those muffins you really liked from that one bakery?" she says, figuring that's what this conversation was about.

"Actually, Mother I was thinking, maybe I could go see the floating lights?" he asks, "The one's that fill the sky every year on my birthday."

At this her gaze immediately darkens, and he realizes that he was right. It's only a dream. It's not something that could come true. He should have known better. She would never let him leave the tower. She's told him this so many times before.

Yet, he couldn't help but try. It's who he is. He's too hopeful and innocent for his own good.

"Felix, you know how I feel about you leaving the tower," she states, her voice a low tone. Felix suppresses a shiver, his body reacting anxiously.

"But Mother-" he starts, hoping to explain himself.

"No buts, they are just stars, Felix, nothing worth putting yourself in danger for," she says, using an argument he had thought of many times.

"They aren't though, I have charted every single star in that sky, and it just doesn't fit. I can't help but feel like they are meant for me."

"Felix, do not argue with me" she says, her volume rising drastically. He knows she can get worked up fast with sensitive topics, but he really wishes she would just listen to him.

"Don't ever ask to leave this tower again," she says sternly as her grip around his wrist tightens harshly. He winces, tears pooling in his eyes, but he doesn't let them fall.

'Don't cry,' he repeats desperately in his head. She would never take him seriously or believe he could handle himself if he cried in front of her.

"Yes, Mother" he says back quietly, knowing there is no use fighting with her. She pats him gently on the head, satisfied with his answer, before moving back over to her basket. She starts to put her things back in their rightful spots, unpacking after her trip.

"Mother-" Felix starts again only to stop as her head aggressively snaps towards him, anger evident on her face.

"Enough about the stars, Felix," she yells in disbelief. Felix shrinks back instinctually. That wasn't even what he was going to say.

"I was actually thinking maybe you could get me more of those special paints you got me a few years ago," he says timidly, trying to come up with something else that she would be more willing to comply with.

"That's a 3-day trip," she sighs out in annoyance.

"I just thought it would be a better idea than... you know," he explains.

"Alright, dear, are you sure you'll be okay?"

"I know I'm safe as long as I'm here," he says back knowing just what she wants to hear. Felix helps as she goes to repack up her stuff, preparing for the long trip ahead of her.

"I love you, my flower," Mother says before she leaves the tower again, climbing down the rope to the soft grass of the outside world.

"I love you more," he says back. It's his usual response, but this time the words feels heavy coming off his tongue, almost as if it doesn't really weigh as truthfully in his heart as it did this morning. Everything just feels wrong.

Bbokari steps out from behind the curtain, chirping at him loudly. It was surprising how loud such a tiny animal could be. Felix walks over to him, gently petting him.

"Everything's going to be okay," he says softly, unsure if he's truly assuring the chick or himself.

A loud snore startles him from the interaction. Bbokari turns his head cutely towards the closet where the noise came from.

Felix sighs bumping his head lightly on the wall above the ledge.

“I don’t want to handle that right,” he says with a chuckle. Bbokari just looks up at him adamantly and Felix knows exactly what the little bird is trying to say. He can’t just keep you in the closet.

Felix rolls his eyes playfully before heading over to the armoire to let you out. However, he does grab his frying pan on the way… just in case.

More parts coming soon!!

[akechi-stole-my-heart]

If I may ask: how would you have written/rewritten Sumire's confident story? 😊 Unless it's too close to what you did in code violet, sorry 😂 Personnally, I thought the first half wasn't THAT boring, she was endearing but I felt like she was either in denial or hiding her grief about her sister's death - and then I got the truth 😂 I've become a shusumi fan quickly but I still think there's *something* lacking for it to click. And the last scene we see Sumire was underwhelming imho 🥲

yeah! there are a lot of similarities to what i do in code violet, but it's not identical, since I have a lot more freedom in my fic than there is in the game.

i wouldn't change much if anything about the first half. i agree it isn't that boring, what really makes it seem that way are (1) high expectations for the New Special Girl to be exceptional since she wasn't in the original game and (2) comparing her to the other team members who you're already invested in, her conflict just isn't as interesting (at least to me). basically, you start out every other thief confidant already knowing the core of their conflict because of their palace, so you're already invested in their arcs, while with sumire that is reversed, where you don't learn what's actually going on with her later. so, the "boringness" of the confidant is really exaggerated by that. if you didn't like the way they inserted her into the opening sequence (i never had an issue with it, but royal was my first experience, though i did know the stuff with her was added in the rerelease) so she made a bad impression on you, then it's understandable why people wouldn't like her (at first, anyway)

but let's get to the point. my issues with her confidant. they can basically be summed up in 2 points, and the two of them intersect quite a bit (1) the way she idolizes both kasumi and joker and rely on them for her self worth is not properly unpacked and (2) her role as the waifu REALLY impedes her arc.

basically, sumire idolizes joker. her outfit mirrors his exactly, and her arc in third sem is all about...learning that since joker loves her, she wants to both rise to his expectations and can learn to value herself. and that's not bad, but certain lines about how she wants joker to see her really rub me the wrong way. specifically in her rank when they go to the mall and she picks an outfit for herself. i like the part about her wanting to be seen as herself, and the part about joker's reaction ultimately being irrelevant to whether she likes the outfit, and i would emphasize those points more strongly. but the parts about her wanting joker to see her feel a little like she's trying to be a person he will like? rather than being the person that she is. some of the dialogue is pretty meh, and it feels like she's getting her self worth from joker.

the bones of the confidant are good. great, even. but there's just subtleties in the execution that make it not quite land for me. choosing the romance route ends up feeling unhealthy for both of them, where sumire is putting too much of her worth in someone else and joker is entering an unequal relationship where sumire doesn't give him as much as he gives her because he just isn't in a place to. and i think that's a shame.

for me to get behind shusumi, sumire needs to be on equal ground with akira, and she just isn't. and the game is even aware of this--sumire says on white day that she isn't, but that she wants to be someday. and like, it could be her being self deprecating, but either way it's not what either of them deserve. i wish we could get a moment where she's there for akira like he's there for her, but atlus is allergic to joker's friends being there for him so we never get that.

so honestly, i really wouldn't change much. i'd leave the first half how it is, tweak some dialogue in the second half so it seems less like sumire is getting her self worth from joker, and add a moment where sumire explicitly says she's there for joker and wants to be there for him as much as he's been there for her, so they're on emotionally equal ground with each other.

finally, i do wish we got to see more of her journey, since she really is just at the very beginning of her arc of recovery at the end of the game. but i think it's okay that we don't. there is only so much time allotted to watch her grow, and we see her grow a lot in that time. there's questions she could ask herself that she doesn't have the time to get to, like if she really wants to be a gymnast for herself, or if she's just doing it for her sister. that sort of thing. but again, i think it's okay we don't get to that. i might add a line or two where she says she wants to be a gymnast for herself because she enjoys it, though.

and i guess that's it? i'm sorry for how disorganized this answer is. i haven't really thought in depth about what i'd change if restricted by the confines of the game, and so it's kind of difficult to do a rewrite when that's different than just having problems with what exists. a lot of what i would change can be found in code violet, like how i emphasize that it's "joker makes me want to be seen for who i am, and see him in return" rather than the one-way dynamic of "joker makes me want to be seen and so i will try to be a person he likes" which some of her lines really come across as sometimes. honestly, i think the entire confidant could have been improved by leaning more into the rivalry dynamic. sumire and akechi already have plenty of similarities/parallels, and joker kind of inherits kasumi's role as sumire's rival. so i think it'd have been really powerful if they leaned into that and made it clear that this time, sumire and her rival are equals.

but yeah! sorry this is so rambly. i'm going to end the post now

Tag Game (look at me Ma' first participation in a tag game! 🎉 )

@wlwsakura I had to do a triple take seeing my name 😵‍💫, I am flattered at the tag pass.

Three Ships:

-Edeleth (female Byleth Eisner and Edelgard Von Hresvelg, Fire Emblem: Three Houses) they stole my heart back in when the game dropped with everything about them when shipped together. (Being vague on purpose to avoid spoilers for the Crimson Rose/Black Eagles route for any who may want to experience it blind) In specific female Byleth getting some exclusive scenes with Edelgard, and how their story shifts with the added element of a female Byleth in connection to certain story points that are kind of not as poignant in other routes or ships really makes me ship it more compared to male Byleth and Edelgard.

-Supercorp (Kara Zor El/Kara Danvers/ Supergirl and Lena Luthor from 2015's Supergirl) I have spilled my guts about them a fair amount already. The wlw ship that helped me realize I was not as straight as I thought because of how fond I was of certain same sex friends. They were so couple coded, and it really stinks (older) supercorp shippers went through what they went through by the network, show runners, comic book anti woke mob, other Supergirl TV show fans, other lgbtqi+ aligned people, and homophobes for calling Lena and Kara what they were.

-I wanted to try showing variety for my ships into bl/mlm or hetero ships, but I got to end with InoSaku (Ino Yamanak and Sakura Haruno from Naruto).

I got so much going on with this ship on some different layers.

Way back when I was introduced to Naruto via the anime, I was not at all a fan of Sakura. Looking back I might have been best described as a "Sakura Hater", but having done some growing and having been reminded of Sakura as a female character in a shonen all this time later, I now have realized how unfair I was being to this fictional character for things well out of her control (Kishimoto's bad writing, how women characters are usually treated in shonen animes, served with a side helping of internalized misogyny on my part).

The realization at all the unnecessary hate at a fictional character who couldn't fight the tropes she was writen with made me re evaluate Sakura, and I realized she isn't so bad. No worse than any other Rookie 9.

Along side that re analysize I realized how gay-rivals-to-lovers coded Sakura and Ino are, and how much of a missed opportunity they were. So now they haunt me.

First Ship Ever: hard to remember but either Sanae Ozora and Tsubasa (Captain Tsubasa) or Ranma and Akane (Ranma 1/2)

[ice-connoisseur]

Yuletide 2024

Dear author,

I hope the extra information here is helpful, but if you have something different you've been desperate for an excuse to try then please disregard anything I mention that's too specific!

Sally Lockhart - My first great fictional love, from a time before I even knew what fic or fandom was. My eternal love for the found family trope can probably be traced to the door of Garland and Lockhart. The lack of fic is a constant sadness, and I would love anything and everything involving Sally, especially if it predates or flat-out ignores Fred's death. But something set in post book canon with Dan or Harriet wanting to know more about him would also warm my cockles. Basically anything Sally Lockhart and I am in.

Queen’s Thief - I wholly blame Kamet e dai Annux, with his dry, long-suffering patience and the way he manages to be both the smartest and stupidest person in the room at any given moment, for my love of these books. Costis/Kamet is my favourite pairing, and I’m also a big fan of the spyfam-in-the-palace headcanon post RotT, ala ama’s Spies and Soldiers series, so if you're going down the shippy route my preference would be to veer away from the information in Moira’s Pen. I've got a few QT fics in my AO3 bookmarks which should be a good indicator of my preferences here - I obviously love Gen and Irene and Helen and Sophos too, but Kamet and Costis win out.

Rivers of London - I don't even know where it came from, I've read the books before and enjoyed them but mostly veered away from fandom, and then a re-read this summer sucked me fully into Peter/Nightengale, and then Peter/Nightengale/Bev. As mentioned, with the latter I do prefer a full OT3, but anything that involves Bev and Nightengale bonding over their shared love and frustration for Peter, in whatever guise that takes, is more than good with me. I do have a real weakness for touchstarved Nightengale, and future-fics that involve adopted apprentices. As with Queen's Thief there are a fair few RoL fics in my AO3 bookmarks.

Memoirs of Lady Trent - HOW do these books not have a bigger fandom?! The practical courtship of Isabella and Suhail brings me so much joy, and her relationship with Tom is my platonic OTP. I'd love something that touches on things that the books can't include due to the first person POV - Tom and Suhail, either of them and Jake, any of their thoughts on Isabella and some of her more madcap schemes. But I also love the sheer pragmatism of Isabella's POV, so don't feel you have to avoid that!

In general, I love tropes, I love found families, I love getting-togethers and established-relationships, and I adore lovers-meeting-again-after-years-apart (every fandom needs a Persuasion AU...). Hurtcomfort is my jam. I LOVE AUs; full-blown alternate universes (feel free to use any fandom I have an AO3 bookmark for, or to check anonymously if it's not there), everybodylives!, modern, canon, whatifs, whatever. Slice of lifes. Outsider POVs of a relationship, be that platonic or romantic. My general AO3 bookmarks are probably a good indicator of my likes and loves, if only for how broad they are.

My squicks are relatively benign. I rarely enjoy A/B/O or dom/sub unless it’s done very well. I’m British, so blatant Americanisms in a UK-set-fic (fall and sidewalks are the two I am particularly petty about) do bug me. Angst with no happy ending is not something I need right now. I’m rarely a fan of space/sci-fi AUs. While I love a clever other fandom AU I'm generally not keen on crossovers (so give me a Pride and Predjudice AU, but don't have Mr Darcy and Nightengale interacting, unless it's in a minor cameo sort of way)***. And I think that’s about it.

Thank you so much for writing for me, I’m looking forward to reading whatever it is :D

***This is not strictly true, I can think of at least two or three full blown crossovers that I adore (coughPeterWimsey-PhryneFishercough), so maybe it's more about the setting making sense for them to interact...I need to think on this some more XD

The Route Thief

Sumary: Everybody used to tell me to stop playing those games, but what can I do? An otome game is pretty addictive and specially if is one like Wizardess Heart. This game is my life! Wait, I didn't mean literally... Then, why I'm suddenly inside on my game!? Is that Hiro and Zeus? When I said this game is my life I didn't mean to want that this game BE my life!

Pairing: Hiro x Marian

Chapter 3

I was walking from here to there on my room. They make me change into a dress too much elegant for a diner. A new make up and a new hairdo, and then I've been the rest of the evening trying to joint points. Could it be that I'm really on my otome game? How come? Just what happened to me before? Besides, on what timeline am I? Do really exist magic? Since I've never leave my room. This days, I can't tell.

"Young lady, why don't you rest a little? There's something that bothers you?"

Are you kidding? Everything bothers me!

"Say, Clarisse. "

"Ye-Yes?"

"Are you... Able to use magic?"

She opened wide her eyes and then smiled faintly

"No young lady, I'm afraid I can't use magic."

"Oh, you can't?"

"No. But, the young lady is such an amazing wizard! Maybe you can try sometime. "

"Wait, I can use magic!?"

"Of course. I saved your wand here. "

She opened a shelve and pulled off a box, she opened in front of me and inside was this silver wand whit a red stone on the handgrip. I grabbed the wand, and probably I was waiting something like a Harry Potter moment happened to me but, it didn't, it was just like hold a simple stick. Do I'm really able to use magic?

"Maybe this is not the time for this. "

I put the wand back on her box.

"The young lady might be right. Your fiance is about to arrive any soon after all. "

And I was more nervous.

"Hey, Clarisse, uh, how is the relation between... Zeus and me?"

"Oh, uh... Well, is very... Enthusiastic?"

Why are you thinking on it so much? Soon a knock on the door call for me.

"Young lady? Young master Zeus Brundle has arrived. Please come down to welcome him."

Okay life, is this is a dream this could be the perfect moment to wake up... Wait, actually, can you wait until I see Zeus whit my own eyes? I went down the stairs where some servants and the mother was waiting for me. She didnt even glanced at me. The door on the other side opened, and I stayed on such awe that the only thing I could do was hold my breath. Definitely, that man was Zeus Brundle, no doubt! He was walking so arrogant like I always imagined, and he was wearing his usual casual clothes. Wait, I'm wearing a party dress and he came dressed like that? Men are the same in any dimension... Suddenly I caught a glimpse of someone walking slightly behind Zeus, could it be...? No way... Hiro!? That's... That's Hiro Tachibana right!? OMG I wanna scream! Though he was wearing a white shirt and a black jacket whit his sleeves rolled up, he was looking just as hot like I always imagined! I covered my mouth cuz I feel that I would scream like a fan girl of a band on a concert!

"Why are you covering your mouth like that? Are you gonna barf?"

I hear a grave voice just in front of me. Darn it! I didn't realize he was already in front of me! What do I do!? What do I do!?

"Err... Ah... I-I... "

"What is wrong with you? Say welcome to him already!"

"We-we-welcome very much. "

OH SWEET LORD PLEASE KILL ME NOW AND MAKE SURE NOBODY FIND A SINGLE BONE OF ME!!! Can I go and lockdown on my room for the next three years!!??

We moved to the dinner room after my "kill me now" moment. I was unable to see Zeus right at the face even when he was sitting in front of me. Hiro was standing behind Zeus. It unusual for me but, I guess that is because Hiro is considered Zeus's bodyguard. Zeus was just there sipping his soup and nobody was saying a single word, it was getting on my nerves. Now that I notice, Zeus was actually behaving on the table. That was different from the game were it said that he attacked food like a beast. He and Hiro. But here, his manners were quite decent. I guess even him knows that he have to behave on a situation like this. Wait, but, doesn't he hate that?

"How is the soup Zeus? Is it your liking?"

The mom broke the silence

"Uh? Ah, yea is pretty good. "

Zeus barely rise his eyes to look at her.

"I glad to hear it. I apologize again, my husband is in a business trip and he couldn't accompany us today on your visit. "

"Yea I know, you don't need to worry about it."

It is my idea or Zeus answers are curt? Hiro approached Zeus from behind and whispered something to his ear.

"Oh, yea, uh, so... How are you? I hear that you fell and hit your head or something like that."

Something like that? If you're going to visit a sick person at least pretend that you're worried for her.

"Ye-Yea I fell from a horse while riding, but I totally fine know, hehe."

But probably I'm going to be killed by my own mother if she keeps looking at me like that. My face don't know if it have to turn red from embarrassing or pale from scare.

"Marian, did you thank Zeus for coming?"

Her look on me was like she was about to swallow me if I didn't.

"Uh... Th-Thank you for coming to see me, Zeus, It makes me very happy. "

I tried to give my best smile but, the look on Zeus was strange. His frown became even deeper. What is it? Did I said something bad? Di-Did he notice that I'm not his fiance?

"So tell me Zeus, when will you go back to Gedonelune?"

The scary mom continued

"mmm, on three days."

"So soon!? But I thought that classes will be staring next week."

"Yea but since I'm a Prefect I gotta be there before to prepare the welcome party of the new students. "

You do say that whit a big smile and proud huh?

"How wonderful! A welcome party!"

I don't think is the kind of party that you are thinking, mother.

"I am so glad to know that you are such a responsible prefect Zeus, you work so hard and you must be incredible at magic too. "

Excuse me?

"No need to say all that hehe. "

And you don't smile so proud when we all know the truth!

"I feel so much at easy to know that my daughter will be in such a good hands. I was worried just to think that she'll be so far away from me. "

Wait, where are you sending me now?

"Wait, where are you sending her?"

Thank you so much Zeus!

"Why of course to Gedonelune! Marian did not told you? She was accepted as an exchange student on the Royal Magic Academy, she will be joining the next week."

HOW IN THE NAME OF OTOME I'LL KNOW THAT!? Besides, the surprise on Zeus and Hiro faces shows that they didn't know either.

"No, she didn't told me."

Wait, Zeus, you don't need to look at me like that, I swear I didn't know anything! I don't know anything about magic, how I'm going to study on a school like that!? I'll be expelled right away! I want to scape please! SOMEBODY!!

To be continued...

Summary: The thief debates on adding a few Heroics to his collection

This will NOT be any kind of dark fic- the thief "stealing" them will not be described, and will not be a permanent state- the situation will be explained in the next chapter

Masterlist

---

It’s an idea he’s toyed with before, of course. Stealing a Heroic. What an addition to his collection one of them would make! The things he would have access to with some of their abilities on his side...

Something about it never sat quite right, however. It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it- he’d used his abilities to steal people before, although he wasn’t sure it counted as stealing to take them back from miscreants who’d abducted them in the first place (“Rescue” wasn’t his preferred term. He didn’t advertise his morals, after all- only that they had a price tag).

But whenever he considered acquiring a Heroic- nothing. His gift didn’t whisper to him the way it normally did when he was pondering a heist, didn’t illuminate potential interception points or escape routes. Perhaps because that truly would be kidnapping, not theft, the thief muses as he waits for his order. Vague as they were, he reasonably certain it went against his morals to steal people. He preferred to recruit them, voluntarily.

But if it was only temporary? he probed. If I only meant to steal them for a day, and not keep or harm them? 

His gift seems to titter in response. The thief grumbles internally at its coy answer, having long since stopped questioning the oddity of talking to what was essentially a vague quasi-consciousness in his head.

Perhaps his gift’s unhelpfulness was due to his own apprehension. Stealing the entirety of a living person was a lot trickier than just plucking the voice from them. And really, none of their abilities couldn’t be acquired by him otherwise. Miracle Guy? The thief had someone who could fly. Tech-No? Superpowers weren’t necessary to be tech-savvy enough for his needs.

The speedy one would be useful, the thief reflects as he adds just a touch of sugar to his coffee. In and out with the goods, no fuss no muss. But that took all the fun out of a heist. He could do that part himself half the time, anyway. The rich scent of the café’s new single-origin brew lures him from his thoughts, and the thief allows himself to be distracted, sighing into the steam kissing his face and luxuriating in the rich flavor. He simply must ask the owner for their supplier. 

The kicker is that he knows who the real jewel would be- the Heroic whose powers could provide the greatest benefit, even to a man as substantially gifted as himself. Marcus Moreno. He hid behind his swords and his teammates more so now than he had in his early days, but the thief had seen the footage. His telekinetic abilities weren’t to be underestimated.

Nestled in his favorite spot- a cushy nook, half-hidden behind a large plant with leaves like graceful emerald fans- the thief regards the park across the street as people flock to it. He couldn’t have predicted that the same he day he comes into town would be the same day the hero is involved in a minor incident across the street from a café he frequented. But it seems just a little too serendipitous of an opportunity to ignore. 

A razor-edged halo of gleaming silver arcs around Moreno’s head when he whirls his swords up and into their sheaths. The thief’s gaze lingers on the blades, on the wide shoulders to which they’re strapped. The hero is so close he can make out the good-natured smile on his face where he kneels before a clamor of children. Yet still his gift murmurs too faintly to make out, as if from across a windblown distance. The thief frowns in thought. But when another, brighter glint catches his eye, his gift bursts into such cacophony the thief almost flinches, expensive coffee sloshing in his cup.

It’s you. The Heroic they called Sunbeam.

What skin is exposed by your suit ripples with the the light of the sun. Radiant and shimmering with a white-gold aura, you look every inch a star walking the earth- the thief is baffled as to how he’s missed you, even as fixated on Moreno as he was. Your brightness dims bit by bit every time you refasten a patch of your modifiable uniform, although the effect is rendered somewhat moot by the fact that your suit is also white and yellow, with glittery gold patches that draw the eye. As he watches, you pause, closing your eyes for a deep breath, and the remaining glow in your hands and face lessens to an almost human level.

Your fellow Heroic stands as you stride back toward him, asking something, his brow furrowed in concern. You shake your head in reassurance. The man’s relief is obvious, even from this distance; he reaches out to rest a hand on your shoulder, his stance relaxing. You seem surprised, but pleased- a bashful smile appears on your lips, and- just for a second- your skin seems to flicker again with a bright warmth.

Interesting. His gift hisses excitedly. The cup clinks faintly against its saucer as the thief lowers it, all of his attention laser-focused on the super-powered duo across the street, on the rapidly clarifying plan in his head. Both of you turn as someone else runs up to you. The angle causes natural sunlight to glance off your cheek, and the thief blinks at the shine; it’s not unlike the reflections which speared off of Marcus’s swords. Your gold to his silver.

The thief smirks to himself as he remembers his own words. Anything that shined. His eyes track your glittering silhouette, Moreno resembling your shadow in his black uniform, in the thoughtless synchronicity of your body language. His gift croons in an alluring song. Ah, what the hell, he decides. A two-for-one deal. His smirk transforms into an expression of relish.

WIP Whenever, was it Wednesday already?

Hi!! You've tagged me a lot! Sorry! :)))

Through a complex combination of multiple things I haven't been able to engage or respond to anything lately, but, good news, getting back into it again! Ah I really missed it. Thanks for tagging me @noire-pandora, @morganlefaye79, @blarrghe, @johaeryslavellan, @knuttydraws, and @in-arlathan! Consider yourselves tagged back along with @kittynomsdeplume, @musetta3, @melisusthewee, @nivenor-krosis and @dreadfutures to share anything you want if you want!

So, usual introductory ramble, I'm often quite stuck between a rock and a hard place trying to figure out just how much Ostwick politics I should include in the fic. being that most of it is from Jon's pov, there's just gonna be a lot of stuff that he will never see, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't either! Some of this stuff is important so while I obviously want to keep some element of surprise, I don't want everyone to be completely blindsided by what's going on.

So yeah, below is a bit that I may or may not keep if it proves to be too much. Though knowing myself, one person's 'too much' is my 'oh shit I forgot like 5 scenes let me just add..'

Anyway on with the show. Quite a big spoiler ahead mind you! It's in the next chapter though.

"Do not test me, Coradia."

"My lady-"

Lady Bayart opened her fan with a sharp wooden noise, pinning her guest with a seething look. How dare this walking disaster, this paper aristocrat darken her door again after what happened! She stared Lady Ehlgar down until she squirmed in her gilded chair, watched her turn her head slightly out of instinct, letting her carefully placed locks of hair cover the top of her eyes. Hiding. Pitiful. Even with her ridiculous ambitions of bringing her Orlesian court charades to Ostwick, even after all these years, she still couldn't handle scrutiny upon her bare face.

Her amateurish games have been their downfall. Months upon months of careful planning, and it came crashing down on her and van Millberg's indiscretion! It was beyond laughable. It was against reason.

"What could you possibly think you still have to offer me after getting yourself kicked out the ceremony room?", Lady Bayart spat, pointing her fan at her guest and enjoying the effects of her accusatory gestures.

But where was the fun in gloating when she knew exactly what this squirming worm would say.

"How about what you owe me!" she squawked in her thick Val Royeaux accent, "I never thought the Lord Councillor would withdraw his support! This was never the deal!"

"This was always the deal!", Lady Bayart countered, "And if you hadn't so decisively secured your removal from the premises of our agreement you would have been there to read it for yourself! The Lord Councillor's joint assets to your smithies are to be transferred to the Trevelyans. It is final."

Lady Ehlgar, utterly unable to keep her expressions in check, leaned forward with eyes like saucers, "You assured me, promised me it wouldn't affect my trade routes-"

"-When we still had an agreement! Before you ruined us! When Leopold was supposed to be successor, and help you break even!" When that stone-faced ungrateful brat was still on her side. When Lady Bayart hadn't yet destroyed her only leverage on her harpy of a daughter-in-law by trying to have their younger brother killed. A thief not caught is an honest merchant. A thief caught is, apparently, left scrambling for allies. That particular fuck-up was not to be brought up to Lady Ehlgar, however. She could focus on her own fuck-ups.

Did you catch it?;) Don't blame you if you didn't, it was literally a year ago.

3, 6, 7, 14, 20, 24 for Kira!! ^.^

3. How did they get the promotion to detective and what do they think about it?

She wasn’t expecting the promotion, but I think if Detective Reele hadn’t retired when she did, Kira would have started working toward it in another six months to a year. She thinks she’s too young to be essentially in charge of the police in Wayhaven, since except for Douglas she’s the youngest at the station (she’s 25 at the start of Book 1, turns 26 between books 1 and 2), but she’s good at her job and is a natural leader. 

She doesn’t realize that everyone at the WPD has been quietly thinking of her as their boss for ages, even before Reele left, and she’s the only person there who didn’t find her promotion both obvious and well deserved.

6. What’s their relationship to Bobby?

In a word, bad. She dated him in year 1 at university for a couple months, they had a few classes together (she being an English Lit major and him being in journalism, there was a fair bit of overlap) and she recognized him. She’d never been away from home before, she was lonely and he was familiar, so for a while she pretended that was enough. It wasn’t, plus he’s a thief and an asshole (and the sex was disappointing anyway) and she doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore. Unfortunately, he won’t fucking go away.

She is coldly polite to him when she has to talk to him for work purposes, and only barely not outright hostile if he talks to her outside of business hours. If he keeps calling her “angel” she is going to break something. Possibly a chair. Over his head.

7. Who is their Love Interest and why?

this is actually a tricky question, because I’ve been doing all four routes with Kira :) I’m a big fan of making just one OC and fleshing them out as much as possible and seeing the different ways they connect with different characters. And all of Unit Bravo are just so lovely, how could I pick just one?

Kira feels a connection to Adam that she doesn’t fully understand. He’s gorgeous, obviously - of the four, he’s the most Her Type from a physical standpoint (those arms goddamn). Like, his eyes are even her favorite color. Yes, she’s noticed. Yes, she’s trying to pretend she doesn’t. But even beyond the physical, she feels... drawn to him. She wants him to notice her, feels ridiculously proud of herself when he compliments her on her skill as a detective and her place on the team. She is also pretty aware by this point that she’s head over heels in love with him and possibly always has been and is trying to come to terms with that, which would be a lot easier to do if he’d stop looking at her like that because it makes her forget how to speak.

Nate and Kira have a lot in common, both personality-wise and in their interests and hobbies, but in her mind he’s probably the one she least expected to end up with. He’s just so charming and romantic and that’s never really been her thing, but god how could anyone resist that smile? She doesn’t notice she’s doing it, but she tries to smooth out some of her rougher edges for him (she cusses a lot less with him than the others). She has never in her life wanted to kiss someone so badly (they earned that ferris wheel kiss goddammit). He makes her feel special and precious and seen in a way she’s never felt before.

Felix and Kira are almost complete opposites, but their relationship is just so... easy. Effortless. It feels like he’s always been there, or was supposed to be. He brings her out of her shell and reminds her how to have fun, and she sees past the grin to the man underneath, even the parts he tries to keep hidden away. He’s so sweet and open about how he feels that it just breaks through all her reservations and it’s impossible not to fall for him. She wants to show him the world, all the things he’s never gotten to see, the things about being human that she’s always taken for granted before. Paper airplanes are only the beginning.

I saved Mason for last because I have so many emotions about Kira and Mason and how well they fit together. I had written about them in the past (like, last October) that he doesn’t bother her or drain her social batteries as much as other people do, that she feels calm and peaceful with him in a way she never has with anyone else... and then in Book 2, he says the same thing about her. I wrote a fic (in December) where Kira shows Mason her secret hiding place, the roof of her apartment where she likes to go in the middle of the night and just get away from it all... and then in Book 2, he does the same thing for her. Like, they’re perfect for each other. I can’t wait until they figure that out. Their sharp edges fit together. She doesn’t have to pretend to be someone she isn’t when she’s with him. He makes her feel desired in a way she never has before, and she likes that he’s upfront about what he wants from her and even though she knows she is developing feelings for him (she has no idea just how much yet, but she knows they’re there) she’s not going to ask for anything he isn’t willing to give. Plus, the sex is fantastic.

14. Do they get along with Tina and Verda?

Tina introduced herself and told Kira they were going to be best friends, and nothing since then has done anything to prove her wrong. She’s Kira’s Person. They have a standing monthly movie night that they call “date night” (because in Tina’s mind, it’s the closest Kira ever gets to a date... until Unit Bravo comes to town) that they have only broken once ever in the time they’ve known each other.

Verda and Kira are both introverts, so their friendship has been building a little slower, but they get along well. She has enough scientific and deductive knowledge that he doesn’t worry about intimidating her with nerdy shit, and she appreciates his subtle humor and the sense of calm that he brings.

20. What is their personality?

Kira is friendly and kind and caring for the most part, though she is also very introverted (she got a whopping 99% introverted score on that myers-briggs personality quiz). She is good with people but doesn’t really like people, at least not for long periods of time. Her sense of humor can be very sharp and sarcastic once she starts to relax around someone, and she cusses like a sailor. She tends to be quiet when she can be and is stubborn as a rock. She is also super shy... until she isn’t :3 I think she’s only really reached the “until she isn’t” point with Mason so far, sometimes... maybe a bit with Nate.

24. How did they handle the fight with Murphy? Did they get bitten?

answered here :D

Fic recs:

Ok so during these past few years I’ve read sooooo many good fics, and I’m going to recommend my favorites !! Most of these are Member/Reader but there are some exceptions!! 

Keys:

❦-Fluffyyyyy like marshmellows

☽-Angst, you WILL cry

☠-Smut, for when you’re alone at night

BTS

Jin

Folia by httpjeon ❦ ☠

Synopsis: stressed from work, you’re sent on vacation to the beautiful, tropical planet of Liana where you meet a beautiful Folian man named Seokjin, who makes your vacation 10x better.

This is probably the wridest fic on this list, but I’m not complaining. If you like this one then I also recommend the rest of the made of stardust series. 

                                                   *   *   *   *   *   *

Yoongi

5:40 PM by minnpd: ☠

one of my favorite smut pieces.

                                                   *   *   *   *   *   *

Hoseok

Gyve by jiminwereckedme: ☽ ☠

Synopsis: On the occasion of your best friends wedding and high school reunion, you happened to meet once again, one of the richest heirs of the country, famous fuckboy Jung Hoseok. While the world saw him as a cocky arrogant person and you, as a confident, strong woman, only the two of you knew the scars that were hidden, and things you both were unable to fix. Only the two of you could see right through each others facade. But could you and Hoseok finally break the gyves holding you back? Or were you the ones who shackled each other in the first place?

I have never wanted to be rich as much as when I read this fic, it also brought me into a “wedding planning period” lol, if you’re up for that then I recommend this a loooooot.

Tip 143 by minflix ❦ ☠

Synopsis: Even though he is everything you find attractive in a man, your friend and co-worker Jung Hoseok is just exactly that - a friend and co-worker. For some reason, you have never found yourself attracted to him even though all the girls and guys around you go absolutely crazy for him.But that all changes for you one night while scrolling through Heart2Heart, a sex live cam website…

Honestly all of minflix’s fanfictions deserve to be on this list, bu out of them Tip 143 is my personal favorite. I love the portrail of Hoseok (he’s such a cutieeeee). Totally recommend it !

Transference by dark-muse-iris: ☽ ☠

Synopsis: Prolonged periods of work-related stress brings you to a cross-road in life that leaves you prone to make impulsive decisions. During a routine visit to your local bakery, you stumble upon an intriguing business card belonging to a “tantric therapist” and take a risk. When you discover your therapist is an attractive young man with penchant for shibari, you throw a caution to the wind as he helps guide you self-recovery.

Wowowowowowowwwww, this fic is so addicting and the sexual tension has never been higher and I literally can’t recommend this enough.

Starfire by readyplayerhobi ❦ ☽

Synopsis: The schism that broke the galaxy began, as it usually does, over a disagreement. The resultant civil war has raged for hundreds of years. When a ragtag group of travellers discovers something that could turn the tide of war, for good or for worse, the bonds of friendship and love will be tested.

Okay so hear me out; even though this fiction isn’t even near complete the setup is done amazingly and I just KNOW that this series is going to turn out fantastic.

War lords by avveh (Namjoon/reader/Hoseok): ☠

Synopsis: Sometimes, we all need to let a little loose on the control we have in our lives. This fic actually reminds me a little of house of cards. It’s another mafia au with loads of dark smut, just not quite as gross as house of cards. Either way it’s really good and the portrails of Namjoon & Hoseok makes my knees weak. 

                                                   *   *   *   *   *   *

Namjoon

Phototbooth by seraphjoon: ☠

Synopsis: You never knew fucking in a photobooth, while all your friends are on the other side, could be this sweet. 

Just a lil something for your late night rendevouz

War lords by avveh (Namjoon/reader/Hoseok): ☠

Synopsis: Sometimes, we all need to let a little loose on the control we have in our lives.

This fic actually reminds me a little of house of cards. It’s another mafia au with loads of dark smut, just not quite as gross as house of cards. Either way it’s really good and the portrails of Namjoon & Hoseok makes my knees weak. 

                                                   *   *   *   *   *   *

Jimin

The secrets triology by avveh: ☠

Synopsis: Park Jimin is the office’s oddball. Meek and quiet as a mouse, you never assume to omuch of him. Your mistake.

I present to you all; Park Jimin’s duology. This fiction really really really describes what it´s like when he goes from the worlds sweetest mochi to a sex icon in mere seconds. BOOM, is all I want to say.

Slight changes by chiminiemoans: ☽ ☠

THIS FIC WRECKED ME, from the day I read it and onwards I’ve only been a shell. No but seriously though, this fic is a masterpiece, probably one of my all time favorite fictions. It’s so well written and it just gives me all the feels, even thinking about it makes me want to cry. Also, I’ve never wanted to just scream FUCK YOU TAEHYUNG as much as when reading this. 

I’ll never be her by anon-luv: ☽

Synopsis: You loved him with all your heart, but he could only give you half of his. Jimin was the love of your life, your night in shining armor when she wasn’t around. She was his ex girlfriend,  his first love, actually she was his many firsts and she kept coming back. He had warned you she was his weakness, but you didn’t listen, because to you having him even if it was only partially was better than not having him at all. At least for now.

If you haven’t noticed it already, I’m currently in a love hate relationship with angst. Speaking of love hate relationships, this fic. It’s sooo sad, yet I can’t hate it. 

A lack of color by minflix ❦ ☽☠

Synopsos: Slowly but surely, you were starting to warm up to the idea of forever seeing in black and white as long as Jimin was by your side. 

This is another minflix fic that I love, can’t recommend it enough if you’re a fan of angst (like me).

Baby, baby by hobiwonder ❦ ☽☠

Synopsis: When you’ve run out of savings to continue on to the last semester of your Bachelors - you take an unorthodox route. Helping a desperate couple have a child and getting paid for it? Heck yeah. But what do you know - it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.

Another hobiwonder fic, but is anybody even slightly surprised. This one is my personal favorite of hers/his though, the writing style is 10/10 and the plot is AMAZING. Also, the sexual tension, I’VE NEVER FELT ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT

Covet by bang-tan-bitches: ☠

Synopsis: Agreeing to meet Lee Ji-Hye’s boyfriend Park Jimin was your first mistake

This is INTENSE

                                                   *   *   *   *   *   *

Taehyung

You were happy by evangelene: ☽

Synopsis: You were in love with your best friend, and he only cared about his girlfriend. On the upside, you have two boys willing to do anything for you–including searching to the end of the earth when you go missing.

If there’s one author out there that never fails to make me cry it’s evangelene. This fiction is a whole rollercoaster ride, and I honestly doubt I’ve ever cried as much as when reading this. THIS WILL MAKE YOU CRY

Hush by sugakookiemonster (Taehyung/Reader/Jungkook): ☠

Synopsis: Four seats, five bodies. “Careful, sweetheart,” he breathed into the shell of your ear, hand tightening over your waist in warning. You lick your lips, pausing just long enough to ponder; what if you don’t want to be careful?

 This duo, this duo was made to kill us all I promise. And in this fic, woahhhh like I’ve never been this attracted to book characters before.

D!ck on the go by jeonggukingdom: ☠

Synopsis: It was all shits and giggles when you and Taehyung were desperate seniors in High School, having no idea what to do with your lives, wondering if you’d ever find a decent job or even graduate in the first place. It is not so funny anymore when you come home from the big city to enjoy your vacation time and you find his sex-shop right in front of the house you grew up in when you were a kid. “If nothing works out I’m just gonna open a sex shop and call it something obnoxious like ‘Dick on the Go’ or something with a stupid zucchini logo flashing on top of the building.” He had said one time. Shit, you had no idea he actually meant it.

This is plain crack, like I have NO clue what’s happening, but I can’t deny enjoying it...A lot...

Slight changes by chiminiemoans: ☽ ☠

 THIS FIC WRECKED ME, from the day I read it and onwards I’ve only been a shell. No but seriously though, this fic is a masterpiece, probably one of my all time favorite fictions. It’s so well written and it just gives me all the feels, even thinking about it makes me want to cry. Also, I’ve never wanted to just scream FUCK YOU TAEHYUNG as much as when reading this. 

Insomnia by hobiwonder ❦ ☠

Synopsis: You can’t sleep. 

I seriously love all of hobiwonder’s fictions, and this one is no exception. 

Baby, baby by hobiwonder ❦ ☽ ☠

Synopsis: When you’ve run out of savings to continue on to the last semester of your Bachelors - you take an unorthodox route. Helping a desperate couple have a child and getting paid for it? Heck yeah. But what do you know - it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.

Another hobiwonder fic, but is anybody even slightly surprised. This one is my personal favorite of hers/his though, the writing style is 10/10 and the plot is AMAZING. Also, the sexual tension, I’VE NEVER FELT ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT

Masque by minstrophywife: ☠

Synopsis: World infamous thief Vante only steals the most valuable and exquisite of art.

I love everything with this fic; the writing style, the plot and Taehyung, especially Taehyung though. He’s so mysterious !! 

Covet by bang-tan-bitches: ☠

Synopsis: Agreeing to meet Lee Ji-Hye’s boyfriend Park Jimin was your first mistake

This is INTENSE

More than us by jeongi ❦ ☽ ☠

Synopsis: Taehyung had always been the common thread in the capsule of your memories, your best friend until the very end. But the thoughts had always lingered; could the two of you ever be more than this?

CUUUUUTEEEEE

The doms next door by tatertotthethot (Junkook/Reader/Taehyung): ☠

Synopsis: In which you unknowingly accept the offer to become a tattoo model for the two, sexually-crazed men next door.

This. Fic. Is. So. Good. I. Can’t. Even. Explain. Just. Do. Yourself. A. Favor. And. Read. It.

Devotion by kookswife (Jungkook/Reader, ft Taehyung): ☠

Synopsis: you drunkenly touch yourself in front of your neighbour, hoping he’ll take notice. you can’t help but do a double take when he actually does.

Lol, are you starting to see the pattern? Honestly though, if there’s one duo that could kill me by just breathing it would be Junkook and Taehyung. (Which is what they do in this fiction)

                                                    *   *   *   *   *   *

Jungkook

The house of what’s left by evangelene: ☽

Synopsis: You had always loved Jungkook, but he never knew what he had until it was far too late.

I hate this, I hate how much it makes me cry I hate, hate hate this. But seriosuly though, if you love angst as much as I do this is a must read.

Hush by sugakookiemonster (Taehyung/Reader/Jungkook): ☠

Synopsis: Four seats, five bodies. “Careful, sweetheart,” he breathed into the shell of your ear, hand tightening over your waist in warning. You lick your lips, pausing just long enough to ponder; what if you don’t want to be careful?

This duo, this duo was made to kill us all I promise. And in this fic, woahhh like I’ve never been this attracted to book characters before.        

Saying goodbye by stanrandomthings:  ☽

Synopsis: You never expected that no texts from your boyfriend could lead to disastrous events.

Time for some more angst. It’s very short and delicate yet oh so sad.  

Blue orchids by inktae: ❦ ☽

This is a hanahaki fic, and it’s really good. There’s something about hanahaki diseases that is so beautifully sad, idk why but I love this concept.           

Tease by Junkooksloststar: ❦ ☽☠

Synopsis: You came with the intentions of your best friend landing a job as a stripper. You never meant to catch the eyes of the king stripper of the establishment- Jeon Jungkook, yourself. With what was supposed to be a harmless way of paying off college debt faster you find yourself falling into a very odd and passionate relationship with your new mentor. Between infidelity, passion and jealousy there’s never a dull moment at Cherry Bomb.

I love this fic with my whole heart, it’s so addicting and amazing and fabulous and everything I ever could have wished for. And can we please talk about Jungkook in this; a literal god.

One thing right by hobios: ❦ ☽☠

Synopsis: “i’ve been wrong about a million times, but i’ve got one thing right.” Or, desperate to get your ailing mother into the best care possible, you ask your childhood friend turned enemy to marry you for his health insurance benefits. the only problem is it’s illegal. and he’s the sheriff. and you swore to hate him since the day he broke your best friend’s heart.

The plot in this story is arguably quite basic and cliché, BUT don’t let that stop you from reading it. Because the writing is so so so beautiful.         

Arachne boy by kinktae: ❦☠

Synopsis: How do you tell your best friend that the reason you can’t hang out with her is because you’re too busy trying to save New York? Or, “Are you asking me if I piss out webs?”

Don’t we all love a good spiderman au? It’s light hearted, cute and everything I could possibly have asked for.   

Bitchin’ by kinktae: ❦☠

Synopsis: The 80s were a time of choices. Which perm was right for you? What color neon would you wear next? None of these choices, however, were more questionable than a certain deal you made with Jeon Jungkook.

I love love love love love love this fic, and its portrail of Jungkook. It’s so so so so so so so so good. 

The doms next door by tatertotthethot (Junkook/Reader/Taehyung): ☠

Synopsis: In which you unknowingly accept the offer to become a tattoo model for the two, sexually-crazed men next door.

This. Fic. Is. So. Good. I. Can’t. Even. Explain. Just. Do. Yourself. A. Favor. And. Read. It.

Comfort inn ending by joonbird: ☽☠

Synopsis: It was you who Jungkook gave his heart to- that is, until the day you broke it. And it is you now, hoping that some fault lines can be repaired, and that some broken hearts can be put back together again.

The only thing I remember is crying a whole river. Like this fic broke my heart into millions of tiny pieces, put it back together and stepped on it. Its portrail of cheating and its consequences are very real, almost too real.            

                                                      *   *   *   *   *   *

OT7 or Poly

Accidentally tamed by justanotherbtsbitch(OT7/reader): ❦ ☽☠

Synopsis: The worlds biggest boy band, and probably the most famous group of hybrids to ever exist. Somehow they found you, just a normal human, despite all odds. Now they just need to convince you to stay

This is actually a second updated version of this series, and the author really succeeded with the update, the writing style is very good and the fic as a whole a lot less cliché. 

Bad guy by sweetbunnykookie (Jin/reader, Hoseok/Reader/Suga): ☽☠

Synopsis: After a brutal attack in Hong Kong, your marriage with Kim Seokjin cracks as secrets begin to surface and a series of betrayals find their way into the veins of the Hidden Tigers. Although Jin’s devotion endures, in his own definition, the reality of being a mob wife may be too much for you to bear.

This fic is dark, sad and beautiful. 

Beautifully misfit by orphicbts (maknae line/reader): ❦ ☽☠

Synopsis: You never really saw yourself as a hybrid person. that is, until your best friend introduces you to his hybrid, and you suddenly find yourself craving the companionship. you only intended to bring home one. somewhere between the lines you ended up with three beautifully misfit hybrids who craved nothing but your love.

Cuuuuteeeeeeeeee

Crazy rich asians by hobiwonder (Jin/reader, Yoongi/reader, Hoseok/reader, Jimin/reader): ☠

 Synopsis: You overhear something you shouldn’t. Now some of the country’s most powerful - and rich - men would do anything to keep you quiet.

I can’t waiiiiiiiiiiiiit for the rest of this series, I can already tell that it’s going to be -amAzIng-

Ethereal orbit by loveejoon (OT7/reader): ☠

More alienssss yayyyy !!

Hanahaki by EminEmGurlz (Everyone/everyone? This is a mess): ☽

Synopsis: The Hanahaki Disease is an illness born from one-sided love, where the patient throws up and coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love. The infection can be removed through surgery, but the feelings disappear along with the petals.

This fic hurts like hell. Its another hanahaki one, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt my heart break as many times as in this fic. Even though the writing style is as light as a breeze, it doesn’t stop this fic from hurting. 

Heartbeat by resugance (OT7/reader): ❦☠

Synopsis: When you put out a roommates ad for your newly purchased house, the only requirement you set out had been cleanliness. The last thing you’d expected was for the 7 most eligible bachelors of your university to come calling.Throw in school, crazy fan girls and the most sought for men suddenly chasing after you with heart eyes, comes a college experience of a lifetime. Would it be so wrong to want them all?

This is another one of the series which has yet to be complete, or even close to it. But either way, once I read the first chapter I was HOOKED. And I cannot wait for the continuation. 

House of cards by sugamins (Kim Taehyung/Jeon Jungkook/Park JImin ft. ot7): ☽☠

Synopsis: Jungkook is the heir to a mob empire, the most notorious in the whole of Seoul. Taehyung is a rookie sent in to infiltrate by his select team and bring the empire crumbling down."You knew the game and played it, it kills to know that you have been defeated."

This is arguably THE best BTS fic out there, and that is not because of nothing. It’s so well written and deserves ALL the praise it’s been given. Warning though, it´s a VEEEERY dark fic.

Legacy by fantasybangtan (maknae line/reader): ❦

Synopsis: four children, each comprising one quarter of a sacred prophecy. As royal in a kingdom divided by war, you are expected to fulfil the destiny that has been mapped out for you since birth: find yourself a nobleman, and unify your country’s people through marriage. unfortunately for you, your choices are somewhat limited…

I love love love this fic, it’s such an original and cute idea. And the writer has a really beutiful writing style !! Satisfy by kookiemonster (kim line/reader):

Trivial Pursuits by foreignfingers (OT7/reader):  ❦☠

Synopsis: College life is not what you expected and befriending your peers is a challenge, at least until your coworkers invite you to join their weekly trivia night. Sexual tension skyrockets as you befriend this curious group of handsome young men.

WOAHHHHHH, this is such a good fic. AND THE SEXUAL TENSION, I’ve never felt anything like it before. 

Tainting Purity by sevenincubisstolemyheart (OT7/reader): ☠

Synopsis: If someone told you that demons would be an everyday part of society a month ago you would have called them crazy.  But now that they actually were, you were surprised to find them much more docile than you would’ve initially assumed. In fact, it was the Humans who were hurting them, more often than not. So when you get fed up and stand up for an innocent demon being attacked, you shouldn’t have been so surprised when your own species turned on you, including your own parents, and left you to fend for yourself. Luckily, the newly made treaty calls for a Human to live with demons if there’s 5 or more, and so, you’re now rooming with 7 demons. But not just any kind of demons. Incubi. Your life has suddenly just gotten a whole lot more interesting.

The Choreographer by BTSM (future OT7/reader):  ☽☠

Synopsis: You are the assistant choreographer for BTS. You are responsible for teaching Jungkook the choreography for his new solo number. The tension becomes too much

This fic is what got me into OT7, and you need to read it- mark my words !!

Pandemonium by chinkhbihh (OT7/reader): ☠

This fic is so so sooo weird, BUT it works

Void by btssavedmylife (OT7/reader): ☽☠

Synopsis: You are the only female crew member on a 12 year space mission with seven handsome men. The sexual tension is real, y’all.

I cannot stress how good this fic is enough, don’t ask questions just reaaaad itttt !!!

NCT

Timeless by jaeminhours (Renjun/reader): ❦ ☽

Synposis: You know the exact hour, minute, and second every person you meet is going to die, including yourself, and that’s the way it’s always been. In which you meet a boy who changes everything, but your time is running out.

Jaemin hours is a very talented author, and all of her fics deserve to be on this list. However timeless stands out a little, for it’s written oh so beautifully and it completely broke my heart.

There were seven by masterninajacow (OT7 dreamies/reader): ❦

Synopsis: There were seven. 

This fic is one of the most beautiful ones I’ve ever read, it’s a too all the boys I’ve loved before au and it’s so so soooooo cute.

Can’t we share by sluttyten (NCT legal line/reader): ☠

Synopsis: a chance encounter leads to you meeting and falling in love with them all, and why bother choosing between them when you can have them all? 

This fic is EXTREMELY smutty, like on a whole other level. 

Stray Kids

Downpour by honeybammie (Hyunjin/reader): ❦ ☽

I don’t remember much about this fic, but it’s very delicate and sad and made me cry a whole lot.

[jayviesource]

Welcome, everyone to our very first Jayvie week!

Jayvie Week is a week long event dedicated to the relationship of Evie and Jay from DCOM Descendants (and subsequent web series/books).

This is our first annual Jayvie Week! We’ve discussed this plenty and each of the three mods picked seven prompts that we then voted for our favorites. We hope they bring out some new lovely creations. We’re super excited to bring this to you!

Please enjoy yourselves and we hope you will join us in the celebration of our favorite Princess and Thief.  

For our first Jayvie week we unconsciously ended up with an AU theme (seriously we all came up with AU prompts it is pretty funny).

Running December 10th to 16th 2018 || Prompts for Days

Day 1 (Dec 10th): Missing Scene/Rotten to the Core AU (the Core Four or simply Evie & Jay stayed on the Isle while other Villain Kids went to Auradon) Day 2 (Dec 11th): DCOM Crossover Day 3 (Dec 12th): Song Fic Day 4 (Dec 13th): Soulmates AU Day 5 (Dec 14th): RomCom AU Day 6 (Dec 15th): Fantasy AU Day 7 (Dec 16th): Superheroes AU

Replacement Options: Kidfic or College Life

We had a 4 way tie for some prompts. So we decided to give you the option to replace any of the above prompt days with one of the two replacement options.

For example, if you aren’t inspired to do anything for Day 5, which is a RomCom au, but Kidfic gives you ideas you can use Kidfic as your prompt for that day and still tag it for day 5. However, you can not replace any of the days for each other. So you can’t do Superheroes for day 1 and Rotten to the Core au for day 7.

Please use the tag #jayvieweek2018 when posting your works. Remember to use the tag as one of the first five tags of your post to help us easily find your work. Please also reblog and help us spread the word as much as possible.

For rules and such, please continue reading…

You are free to interpret the prompts in whatever way you see fit. You do not have to create content for each day. If only one prompt gives you inspiration then do that day and that’s perfectly fine! If you get inspired by all of them go for it! Go with what inspires you most. Remember all prompts are a suggestion and not mandatory! Just have fun and be creative!

Does your content have to be shippy? Nope. You can totally write platonic Jayvie if that’s what makes you happy! If you do go the platonic route we do just ask that Evie and Jay not be in a relationship with anyone, we are a Jayvie blog after all. Evie and Jay’s relationship (romantic or platonic) must be the focal point of the story.

Now some rules:

1. Do not post art or edits/graphics that are not yours, we will not accept them. 2. Do not use another artist’s art as a base or trace it. Please be respectful of other people. 3. We will accept NSFW content. Should you do something NSFW please put it under a cut/read more and remember to tag it appropriately! Descendants is loved by fans of all ages and it is mainly targeted for a younger generation, so I can not stress tagging things appropriately enough. People may find certain things uncomfortable with certain content so all NSFW content and triggers NEED TO BE TAGGED. 4. Please do not post a prompt before its due date. This is just so we can keep everything in order and reblog on the appropriate dates. Posting after a due date is fine though!

What is accepted:

Art

Fics

Headcanons

Graphics

Gifs

Playlists

MVs

Aesthetics

Whatever inspires your creativity

Don’t forget to tag ‘jayvieweek’ or ‘jayvieweek2018’ within the first five tag so we can find your entry.

Don’t worry about being late. So long as you’ve tagged it late entries will be accepted and we’ll still happily reblog it!

Feel like doing a prompt more than once? Go for it. Want to write a fic AND make a graphic it? Do it! Just remember to tag all entries so we can find them!

If you’re unsure about anything or have any questions please send us an ask, anonymous or not! You can also contact one of the mods directly if you’d like.

Rare Pair Exchange 2021 Creator Letter

Hi! Thank you for creating something for me! I’m excited to see what you create! :D

General likes

I adore tropes, the more ridiculous the better, and really what I love about ridiculous tropes is how it gives the creator an opportunity to explore the characters and their dynamics and motivations. Fun plots are great, but the characters and what the plot reveals about them is what I really love.

I also really love AUs (especially modern/historical AUs) or crossover fusions, and love how much changes and how much doesn’t. But straight up canon stuff is really good too. Really, character focused stuff is what I love most. I do also think canon divergence AUs can be really great, so feel free to play around with canon as well.

While I’m a big fan of romantic ships, I also love relationships in general, romantic or not. Just characters being there for each other is great. I love fluff, but more serious/angsty/dramatic stuff is just as good too. :D And unless specifically stated otherwise, I have no problem with characters other than I requested in the story, but I want the requested characters to be a main focus.

My DNWs (also listed on my sign up) are:

smut

Romance is great, but nothing more than kissing/fade to black for the physical stuff

explicit gore

violence and injury are fine, but nothing super graphic, generally I would say canon typical violence/gore or less is a good way to go

permanent character death of requested characters

angst without a happy (or at least hopeful) ending

I hope this helps! I’m including my general prompts below, but feel free to go where the inspiration takes you. My prompts tend to be more fic focused, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want art or fanvids, I’m just not as good at talking about what I like there. Go with whatever style you feel fits best/you’re most comfortable with and I’ll be happy. :) Happy creating!

Request 1

Fandom: DC Extended Universe

Relationships: Alfred Pennyworth/Diana Prince

Prompts:

I actually hadn’t even considered this as a ship until I saw this in the tagset, but I am here for it. I love when the age gap appears to be in one direction, but because of immortality/extended lives, it’s actually much more in the other direction.

I love the idea of this being a slower burn (acknowledging that 1k is not really enough for a for reals slow burn), but I can really see Alfred’s quiet (and snarky) competence appealing to to Diana.

While I think taking this ship in a canonverse direction would be great, I can also see this being a place where an AU could be really fun.

I also love the idea of them visiting quietly over the months, maybe over tea, both of them telling stories about their lives and complaining good naturedly about Bruce and their feelings for each other kind of sneak up on the both of them.

When I think of this ship, I really imagine them in the batcave, but I think more action focused story where he helps her during a mission could be really great also.

Request 2

Fandom: Knives Out

Relationships: Benoit Blanc/Marta Cabrera

Prompts:

I love AUs where Harlan lives or the murder attempt never happened and the three of them met some other way. This could be canonverse, or a full on AU where the setting is totally different

I also like anything post movie where they work through the aftermath of the movie together. I love Marta/Benoit being partners, romantically, but also professionally if you want to go that direction.

One of my favorite things about Benoit and his interactions with Marta in the movie is just how tender he is, almost from the word go. Regardless of the actual plot/scenario, I would love that tenderness to be on full display.

I do love them solving cases together, and those kinds of fics can be so much fun, but I also love fluffy domesticity for them as well. (Or both if it works out that way :D)

I don’t mind having the Thrombey’s involved, but don’t want them to be the focus. (This goes especially for Ransom. I really don’t want any hint of Marta/Ransom.) I do love both Lieutenant Elliott and Trooper Wagner if you go the more case fic route. I have no problem with vomiting if you want to include Marta’s “condition”, although I would request avoiding any really graphic description of vomit/vomiting.

Request 3

Fandom: North and South - Elizabeth Glaskell | UK TV

Relationships: Margaret Hale/John Thornton

Prompts:

I would love to see something set after they’re together, but trying to figure out merging their lives together. What happens after that kiss? (How do their families take it?)

A nice moment between the two before everything is resolved could be nice too, as their opinions of each other are evolving

I love canonverse for this ship, but this could also be a really interesting pair to put in a completely different AU and see how their story goes in a totally different setting

I would also love something set a while after canon where they’re much more established and comfortable with each other, possibly after they’ve been married for a while.

Request 4

Fandom: Star Trek: The Next Generation

Relationships: Deanna Troi/Worf

Prompts:

The last season of the show teased me with this ship and I’m still kinda bitter that it was never real. I think they have a really interesting dynamic, and their friendship could easily turn into something more romantic

I would love to see something where their relationship is established, possibly with Alexander. (I love Worf, but he’s not always the best dad. How would having a long term SO change that dynamic?)

Outsider POV could be really fun with this, and having the rest of the crew reacting to them getting together. I would also love to see Worf asking Riker for permission to date Deanna as we hear about during 7x11 Parallels.

I think exploring the different cultural dating customs they both bring to the table

I think setting whatever you make during a mission/adventure would be great, but I would also love more domestic fluff too :D

Request 5

Fandom: Original Work

Relationships: Dutiful Princess/Lowborn Guard; Honourable King/Foreign Princess Betrothed To His Son; Sheltered Prince/Savvy Female Thief; Uncommonly Tall Female Mercenary/Male Lord She is Hired to Protect

Prompts:

This is the first time I’ve requested Original Work, and these ships seemed really interesting to me. I don’t have a ton of prompts here, and while I think some very cool plot could come from these pairings, I would love for it to be more character focused. I love fun characters and would love to fall in love with yours :D

Fandom Search; Always Looking

With the holiday season slowly rolling in, I will have some more free-time, besides the amount I already have to write. I’d love to find someone who would like to write within one of the fandoms I shall list below!

First, I shall off run over a few things I keep in mind, when I write with someone. Some could call them rules, but I digress.

*I am in EST, just in case you were wondering.

*I mainly write in third person, past tense. Though, third person is my preferred POV, I am up to debate for perhaps first person.

That being said, I do not mind internal monologing or thoughts being written within first person.

*I tend to stick with canon characters, but OC’s can be discussed. Though, again my prefer method is canonXcanon

*I love to double, and use multiple characters, if the story/fandom calls for it. I won’t force you, but it is always an option if you chose so!

*When it comes to Fandom Rping, I usually think of the RP as an AU.

Of course, if you wish to stick to canon stories, and change one or two things here, fine with me. Though, I am for a more what-if sort of idea, of expanding on a different outcome of an event.

*I tend to write in a paragraph style, roughing around three-to-five per post. Of course, some require more, some less. Just no one liners, or quick snippets please.

Now, the Fandoms I am interested in writing/discusing ideas about:




*DC TV Universe/ Arrowverse. : 
This includes all the CW shows- Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Flash, SuperGirl, or even a cross-over.

—-One idea I have, I have been dubbing it, Conquest of the Multiverse And it deals with an aspect introduced in the Crisis On Earth-X event. The Earth-Xers will be out to rull over the whole multiverse, leaving Earth-1 for last. This could be a very long-term thought, exploring many different parallel earths, if anyone was intested.


 *DCEU/DC Cinematic Universe: 
 Recently viewing Justice League, against some opinions- I had a blast watching it! I can recognize problems with the film of course, however there was never a part I was disappointed with.

With that in mind, I’d love to go back to the start, go through the events of the film a bit different. It is clear, within the movie, scenes we cut. I’d love to flesh out characters more, and perhaps make SteppenWolf more to do. This could have us change some events within the DCEU. This really up to a lot of discussing before we started.

Or, we could move passed the film and perhaps have Batman out looking for more possible members, for the ‘round table with six chairs but room for more.’

*Dragon Ball Z:

It is no secret that I am a big comic-book hero fan. Along side that, I grew up watching DBZ, and as I love the series as a whole, one particular mini arc/character I want to roleplay around, is the best of DBZ and comic-book stuff!

—-The Adventures of the Great Saiyaman!: We can have this set before the World Marital Arts Tournament, or after during some time period of mostly peace. Though, I’d like to focus on Gohan’s time as the superhero, and maybe Videl trying to figure out who is under the mask-prolong that bit of the story. Every good comic character has someone trying to find out who is under the mask. Perhaps we can have it set when Videl is also helping with the 'Saiyamaning ’ around the cities.

*Kingdom Hearts (Series) : 
Who doesn’t love Disney with Final Fantasy, with the touch of organial characters also thrown in? I have two suggestions for this series.

—-Day to day, for some ice cream: 358/2 Days is my favorite title within the series, mainly due to my love of the 'Organization.’(Quotes around that, for anyone fully caught up.)

I’d love to base it close to the manga of the same title, a bit of slice of life, the day in, day out Roxas and his trio going on missions for Xmenas.

—-The Way-finders: Besides Roxas and his trio, I love Aqua and hers. I don’t have many ideas for them however, so feel free tos guest!.

*The Melancholy Of Haruki Suzumiya:

Gender bent Haruhi, ideally we would share the members of the SOS, and play through he events of the series, while adding our own little twists and turns along the way!

*Star Wars Battlefront II (EA)/ Inferno Squad:
 
Like Justice League, recently I have been reading and playing BFII, so I would love to craft a story with the Empire’s Special Forces team- Inferno Squad.
Iden and her team are a fun group, or that’s the feeling I get when reading the novel. We can have it set before the events of the game, but after the book or an AU. 


*Persona 5: 
You’ll never see it coming!



—-The Redemption of Goro Akechi:

Goro, is by far one of my favorite characters of the game. Reading a few fan fics, and the ideas from a roleplay I attempted with someone (before they ghosted me), I have been itching to this idea! It goes off the idea, that the Phantom Thieves, perhaps during the end of Haru’s father’s palace, or during some time through Sae’s, that they discuss Akechi has a palace of his own. Being the people they are, they decide to head in!

We can discuss what Akechi’s palace would be, I have a few ideas already but it is up for debate.

—-Groundhogs’ Day, Phantom Thief Edition.:

Going off the concept, that Joker failed to get Sea to believe him, and ends up dead. Igor, or 'Not-Igor’ is too interested in this game, so decides to send Joker back to the start of the game. (Think New game plus), however, he is the only one with his memories. Will he try to do things different, run into his team in a different order?


 *Power Rangers Universe(s):

—-Power Rangers 2017: 
We can continue where the film ended off, with the inclusion of a new Green/sixth ranger. Of course, adapt a backstory to the more modern stories give to the Rangers here.



 —-Power Rangers Super Mega Force (Retelling) : 
Being a fan of the source material, Kaizoku Gokaigers, I was a bit disappointed in Super Mega Force. Perhaps we can start over from that season, and go a different route, or create a new team who earn the key powers.

—-Power Rangers- HyperForce (Tabletop RPG Team based): 
Now, I have only watched the first episode, but loved it anyway. I love the idea of a time-traveling team of Rangers, and feel it opens to have a lot of fun with.


 Now, the ideas I listed, are only suggestions. If you don’t like them, no worries! We can discuss anything you might have in mind! Thanks for reading!

If interested, feel free to message me here, or email me at: jakerocksok@gmail.com

The Route Thief

Sumary: Everybody used to tell me to stop playing those games, but what can I do? An otome game is pretty addictive and specially if is one like Wizardess Heart. This game is my life! Wait, I didn't mean literally... Then, why I'm suddenly inside on my game!? Is that Hiro and Zeus? When I said this game is my life I didn't mean to want that this game BE my life!

Pairing: Hiro x Marian

Chapter 2

It's been three days since I woke up and find myself in a totally different place. Regardless to say that I haven't get up from bed since then, and I just stayed here in a fetal position whit the covers over my head. I've been waiting for me to really wake up but... This not seems to be a dream. Times pass just like a normal day of 24 hours, I sleep, feel hungry and get thirsty just like the real life. The food got taste, I can feel pain and touch the staff like always. This... Doesn't feel like a dream anymore. Whatever happened to me on that airplane, it took me to this enchanted place. But... Not any place, I've been joining points and... It seems that I'm in a place identical as is describe on my favorite otome game, Wizardess Heart. Apparently, I live at the Kingdom of Queensblade, and of course, when I asked, there's actually a neighbor kingdom named Gedonelune. The Queen of this kingdom is named Sherazade. And... It does exist a place called Gedonelune Royal Magic Academy. Now you know why I've been waiting to actually wake up, but, three days have been enough, I think, I finally have stared to accepted. I probably die on my past life and now I was reincarnated on a character of a game just like those animes where you're hit by a truck and then send to another world so you can fight a demon lord whit a sword and the help of a useless goddess.

"Young lady? Are you awake?"

I don't know anymore.

"Please rise, breakfast is ready. Then, you could... Take a bath perhaps?"

I lazily took off the soft covers and sit. This young maid is Clarisse, she attends me. She cleans and brings food an medicine for me. Is not that I've been treated bad, they actually treat me like a princess. A bath uh? When I said that I haven't left bed on three days I wasn't kidding. Take the count whit the three days I spend sleeping after falling from the horse. Yeah, probably Clarisse is worried for me. A bath wouldn't be that bad.

"I think I'll take a bath. "

I get up from bed and went to the bathroom

"I - I'll get ready your clothes then young lady!"

You don't have to sound so happy you know. A bath surely do wonders, I feel so refreshed. I took a look of myself on the mirror, long blond hair, eyes so blue like sapphires, perfect pink lips... This is, my new look uh? Is not that bad. I look cute. Clarisse handed me a beautiful blue dress whit a military stile and a blouse underneath. She brushed my hair and put a ribbon on it. She also do my make up.

"okay! I'm done! Hehe, it finally seems that the young lady is back!"

She laughed and I look myself on the mirror. Wait that is... Really me? Oh my God! I look SO CUTE! What is this!? This is how I look right? I look like a porcelain doll!

"he hehe heh... "

"You-young lady? Are you felling well?"

She snapped me back to reality and I felt embarrassed that she saw me admiring myself on the mirror.

"ah! I-I'm fine, I'm sorry I make you feel worried. "

"Ah! No! If the young lady feels nice enough to laugh then I feel happy for you. "

You said that but you definitely thought I was crazy right?

"if the young lady feels better today, then why don't take a walk by the garden after breakfast? A little sun will do you good. "

Since I'm not a prisoner here and probably this is my new life then why no?

"Okay, I'll do as you say. "

I eat my breakfast and then I went on a round for all the mansion. This place is like a castle! Big chandeliers hanging, beautiful paintings, golden vases and marble floors. Through a crystal door I saw the outsides shimmering whit beautiful flowers.

"Oh my god that place look so beautiful!"

I was so lost on myself and the walk, that I totally forgot that I was living another life. There were flowers and trees I've nerve saw in my life. A gorgeous fountain was sending a fresh breeze. And that pergola on the middle if the garden is just like something out of a dream, I always thought on how cool it be to have one, you can sit here whit a set of tea and a good book and relax. Everything was so gorgeous!

"Hehe, are you enjoying your walk young lady?"

"Eh? Ah, of course. This place is beautiful, I've never been in a mansion this huge!"

"Uh, so, did you not, remember something?"

Ah, I see, she make me do this walk to see if I can remember something. I guess, I can't tell them that I'm not lady Marian. And even if they believe, I doubt they'll treat me good.

"Well... "

"For your own good you better remember. "

A severe voice surprise us. It was that woman that was yelling at me the other day. Later I knew she was actually... Marian's mother.

"Thanks goodness that at least you finally leave that room and look decent today. "

That's the nicest thing you can say to your daughter?

"We are going to have visits today, so you better behave understood?"

"Visitors? Who is coming? A noble?"

"He is more that just that. He is your fiance. We couldn't hide from him that you had an incident, and since he's on Queensblade on vacations, he have to come and see you. I hope that you'll remember something from your interaction whit him."

"Oh, I see. "

So now I have to act like a lady perhaps? Uh?... Wait a moment...

"Wait, did you said fiance!?"

"Oh heavens! Keep your voice low! A lady shouldn't scream like that. "

"But you really said fiance? I have a fiance!?"

"Of course you have. And that's why you must behave in the best way. And keep in secret that you lost your memories, we don't want the son of the House of Brundle think of you like you're defective. "

She leave saying no more. My mind went blank for a moment, Did I hear well?

"Did she said House of Brundle?"

"Yes young lady, that was what she said. "

"Wait, then, what's the name of my fiance?"

"His name is Zeus young lady, Zeus Brundle."

"... "

"... "

"Hold on a second!!"

I grab Clarisse shoulders

"Kya!"

"Are you talking about Zeus Brundle!? You know, tall boy, light brown skin, bluish hair and eyes that have the attitude of a peacock and always wears a stupid scarf!?"

"Wha- What? Co-Could it be... Do the young lady remember young master Zeus?"

You're kidding... You're kidding right? I dropped my hands from Clarisse shoulders and let myself fall on the ground.

"Yo-Young lady?"

This is impossible... Do I'm really on the world of Wizardess Heart!?

To be continued...

Chapter 5

The travel on train was definitely the best of my life. I've had never ride a train ever before! It was fantastic. Clarisse was accompanying me, but only to the front gate of the academy. I was already wearing my uniform, and I was surprised when I saw that it was a black uniform from the Night Class. I'm going to be on the Night Class!

"You look very excited young lady."

"Yea, I'm pretty nervous actually, I wonder if I'll be able to fit on that place."

"I'm sure that you'll be just okay."

The landscapes where so beautiful. This place is more big and amazing than I ever thought. After a long trip, we finally arrive to the Gedonelune station. We walked on the streets for a while and buy a few groceries. They give me one of those perams and I love it! Of course I didn't bring many things whit me, first because the stuff of Marian doesn't really are my taste, just a few casual dress might do the trick, and second, if there's something I learn from my first day on college is that more than the 50% of your packings will help you nothing. You can find new things wherever you go anyway. And in this place I'll be using my wonderful new black uniform so, I don't need that much. After a while we arrived at the main gate of the Academy.

"You finally show up!"

Oh God, I recognize that booming voice.

"Do you have any idea of how long I've been waiting for you here!?"

"Hi Zeus, sorry I just have to buy some stuff at the city."

"This is not the place for you to go shopping!"

Okay, this guy can't chill out at all huh?

"Hurry up, I'm late and I have a lot of things to do. I've no time to lose."

"Okay, okay. Thanks for accompanying all this way Clarisse."

"My pleasure young lady. Please take good care of you."

I stared walking along whit Zeus, well, actually I was trying to keep his steps.

"You didn't bring more luggage?"

"huh? No, I'm fine whit this."

I brought out my peram and raised proudly.

"huh... Really?"

"Where's Hiro?"

"He is working, or at least I hope he's working!"

He then let go a huge yawing.

"Gosh, this is a pain."

"Are you tired?"

"Huh? Uh, well, we're Night Class, when you get used is hard to stay awake at daytime."

"I see. Where are we going?"

"You're making so much questions today."

But he seems more relaxed somehow. At least he doesn't scream anymore.

"I have to take you whit the headmaster and then to your room."

"I see. Don't you feel hot whit that scarf?"

"Seriously, you are starting to get on my nerves..."

Zeus took me all the way to the headmaster's office. All the buildings were more than a picture, and I was absorbed on all of it. Is there a way to take pictures? When we entered the office, I was surprised to see that the headmaster was Rembrandt, this means, that I'm on a time beyond of the first seasons, probably the labyrinth still exists, but seriously, seeing Rembrandt in person, was a totally different deal. He was impressively tall, including his horns. And his tail didn't stop of moving someway or another. I just stayed there speechless while he was telling all the rules and welcomes for the new student. I was the only one anyway. He said about the party that'll be held tonight, or something like that, I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. He was precious on the game. On real he was stunning. After that, Zeus walked me all the way to the Night Class building. We were passing the old cemetery, just like in the game. Since I already know I wasn't surprised at all but still, it feels a little chilly.

"How is that there's a graveyard so close of the school?"

"What? Scary?"

He asked whit an amusing smile

"No, I was just thinking on how strange is that, besides, the fact that there's a school in the middle of a graveyard is also out of place don't you think?"

"Hmm, you're not funny."

Whit out saying nothing more Zeus took me all the way until we reached the girls dorm. I must to say, that the simple picture that you see on the game doesn't make justice for the real thing. The Night class building, was like one of this old big mansions of the Victorian times. I love that style, I always was a fan of Gothic aesthetics.

"Here, this is your room. You don't have a roommate, and there's no servants, so you'll have to take care of your space by yourself. You think you can do that spoiled child?"

He was wearing on of those arrogant smiles of him.

"Are you telling me that Hiro doesn't do everything for you?"

He startle at my question.

"Of... Of course not! I also do stuff you know! Like... Clean and all that!"

"If Hiro forces you it doesn't count."

"Nhg!... Wh-Whatrever! There's a party at the big auditorium at night so make sure you be there on time understood!? And I'll be not coming for you!"

I think I'm starting to get Zeus. I already made my mind, I won't let that the past interfere whit my present. Hiro's words still were stuck on my head. It doesn't matter anymore, who this lady Marian was. I am Marian now, who knows for how long, so I'll be living this life at my way from here. This place was really huge! I have my own living room and kitchen, also there's two bedrooms but I'll be the only one here, so probably I'll use it like an office. I always wanted one! When the sun stared to fall, life raised on the dorms. All Night Class students show up, and they were chatting whit enthusiasm of the party of tonight. I've never were good making friends and is hard to me to approach new people. But this guy's, doesn't seem to care. They keep whit they business and ignored me like I was just somebody else. Somehow, it make me relax. The only girl that spoke to me was my neighbor of the front door and it was just for ask me not to be noisy at daytime since she sleeps all day. Not that I care, I've never been a noisy person anyway.

I followed a group a long of the way so I didn't get lost on my way to the main building. Enter the auditorium was such a vision. I definitely feel like I'm on Harry Potter, hehehe, how funny! Now, could it be that I meet some other boy of the game? Oh! Look at all that food! I love buffet!

"Hey Goldstein!"

Huh? Goldstein? That voice, that's definitely... I knew it! Is Zeus! I stood behind a column and watched the scene. Zeus was making his way through the people and heading to... That's Klaus!!? OMG is Klaus! And that two pigtails girl...no way... Seriously!? Is that Liz!? So she still is the MC uh? Why didn't I reincarnated on her? It will have been funnier. Zeus stared to talk whit Klaus. This scene... It seems to be familiar. Suddenly Zeus corned Liz against the window, I... Seen this before... Isn't this...? OMG! This is the first CG on Zeus's route!! Even Hiro is there just drinking his glass! Wait... Then, the timeline, is in Zeus's route!? Zeus had a fiance all this time!? How do this work? I don't understand but this is definitely the events on Zeus's route. Rembrandt approached the group and start talking, yea I also remember this. I think on moving from my spot to another more close but I bumped into someone's back.

"Ouch! Oh! I'm so sorry!"

"woa! Careful, are you okay?"

He turned to see me and I didn't give credit to my eyes. That angelic smile, those crystal eyes, That's Alfonse! I petrified while I admire him.

"You didn't get hurt do you?"

"Eh!? Ah... I'm ... I'm okay, sorry I stumbled on you."

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!

"Don't worry, is normal when there's this much of people. Well, I need to get going, enjoy the party!"

"Eh, ah, su-sure... You too..."

Gosh! Why do I always ruin it like this! I didn't learn anything of all those games!? Alfonse leave and walked towards another boy, no way, that's Caesar! Please I don't want to stumbled on him if I do I don't think I'll manage well, I'll just embarrass myself again. I follow them until they walked towards... Liz. Wait, where do Zeus go? And Klaus? Oh right, this is were Liz meets Alfonse and Caesar. I need to properly remember all.

"What are you doing?"

"Kyaa! Hiro!? You scare me!"

"Sorry. I see there's no change whit you huh?"

"huh? Do you mean my head? There's... A few but not my memories."

"I see."

"Wait, what are you doing here? Weren't you whit Zeus?"

"I lost sight of him when I got this."

He bring a plate whit different color muffins on it.

"Oh, that looks good."

"Have you tried the food, is good."

"I was about when I... Got interrupted."

"Really? There's a table."

Hiro pointed a table full of many different types of dishes, but what bring my attention was the pasta dishes. Actually, I was working as a waitress on an Italian restaurant on my past life. I fell in love whit Italian cuisine, but, I don't know if something related exist on this world. I serve myself a plate of spaghetti that looked tasty, and when I tried.

"Mmm! Gosh this is delicious!"

How can be possible that they have the perfect savor!?

"You like it?"

"Is so good! I was missing Italian food so bad!"

"Italian?"

Yikes! That doesn't exist here!

"Huh, I mean... That's not the name of this dish?"

"Of course not, that's spaghetti whit meat sauce. Where did you bring that?"

"Oh! Hehehe I... Reed it on a book, I guess I misunderstood..."

"You even forget that huh? But it seems you like so try a little more."

Gosh! I think I saved!

"You know, there's a good place on Queensblade where they serve the best spaghetti whit meat sauce on the world."

"Really? Is even better that this?"

"A lot better."

He smiled me, and my heart skipped a beat. God, he's so beautiful.

"I'll love to try it some day."

"Maybe some day. Now try this."

Hiro passed me another dish that seems to be lasagna.

"Mmm! This is also wonderful!"

And like that, Hiro and I spend a while trying every dish and dessert available. If partys are always like this I want to go to more!

"If you keep eating like that you'll get fat."

"So what?."

"Don't girls get worried for their weight?"

"Food is nothing for you to have to feel guilty about. They bring all this so you can enjoy yourself so that's what in going to do! Who cares weight!"

"Hehe, really?"

Hiro smiled again. This moment, it feels so precious right now. I hope, I can keep getting closer to him.

"What about you? You're eating a ton."

"I exercise so I don't get worried. Besides, who says no to free food? We worked so hard to get everything done in no time. I think I deserve a good meal."

"All is fantastic, it surely seems difficult to pull out."

"At the beginning it was supposed to be a party for prefects only, but headmaster changed his mind and we had to prepare more."

"Huh? Why the sudden change?"

"I don't know. But I'm glad everything went right."

So many dishes after, Hiro offered to walk me back to the Night Class.

"Uff, so many food, so late at night. What time is it?"

"More than ten o'clock."

"Ten on clock!? Is so late now."

"Is pretty early yet."

"But many are leaving too."

"Those are Day class. For you and they it surely is late."

"Wait, I have to get use to the schedule too!"

"Good luck whit that young lady."

"Don't call me like that!"

Hiro laughed and I playfully give a punch on his arm. Soon we reached the cemetery and the coffin that was the door to the Night Class.

"Can you continue for yourself from here?"

"Huh? You're not coming?"

"I got to search for Zeus. He can get in trouble if I don't watch on him."

"I see. Thanks for bring me here, I'll be alright, I think I remember the way."

"Good, then, see you tomorrow."

"Goodnight Hiro."

Hiro leave, and I went down stairs to the Night Class. I need to remember now, the events of Zeus's route. To bad I don't have my phone here. But I think I can remember the most. I saw Alfonse and Caesar tonight and a eat a lot of tasty food whit Hiro. Is been a long time since the last time I feel so good. But there's things that still bothers me. I wonder if I can... I don't know... Change the events of the routes?

The Route Thief

Sumary: Everybody used to tell me to stop playing those games, but what can I do? An otome game is pretty addictive and specially if is one like Wizardess Heart. This game is my life! Wait, I didn't mean literally... Then, why I'm suddenly inside on my game!? Is that Hiro and Zeus? When I said this game is my life I didn't mean to want that this game BE my life!

Pairing: Hiro x Marian

Chapter 4

After dinner, Zeus and I went to a walk by the garden. Some orbs of light were flouting on all the way lighting up the path. I tried to touch one, I was wondering if it was hot. But actually it was just warm, and it was beautiful, some how, it make me relax and smile.

"What the heck are you doing?"

And stress came back

"I was just curious."

"I was talking about you coming to Gedonelune. What are you up to?"

Zeus approached me and blocked my way.

"I... Don't know what is happening either. I didn't know anything About it, I swear. "

"Like I'll believe that!"

He seems to be very angry. But why? Do he... He doesn't like his fiance? If I remember well, there's never mentioned that Zeus have a fiance. Like ever! But, it can be that he hides it. I need to know on what timeline am I. Is this before or after Night Class is revealed? The things will develop just like in the game or I'm in another time of story? Any way, why do I have to be Zeus's fiance!? If that was the deal well, I might had been Hiro's fiance, or Alfonse, or Elias. Not that Zeus is that bad, I know he's an idiot but he's very soft on the inside. But it seems like right now, I'm on his bad side. What should I do?

"Why are you against it? You don't want people to know that you have a fiance?"

"What I don't want is you saying everyone that I'm your boyfriend and then trying to boss me around all day!"

Huh? Could it be...?

"Listen, don't tell anyone that we're engaged, if you wanna go to the Academy well, go ahead. But I don't wanna you keep bother me all the time! I won't do all that you say just because it please it you! Understood? After all, is just a matter of time for me to find a way of cancel this compromise. "

I see, Clarisse said that between Zeus and I was an "enthusiastic" relationship. I guess it was her way to say that we discuss all the time. Boss him around huh? Is that what Marian does all the time? So Zeus is against it uh? That explain a lot but still...

"Ho-How rude, I already told you that I didn't know anything about this."

Even when I was trying to keep myself together, I'm weak when somebody rise his voice at me, and my voice shakes a little. I need to calm down. I avoid it him and continue the walk. I took another pat, I needed to stay away from him for a while.

"Gosh, what a big problem."

"You need help?"

I jumped in surprise and turn to see Hiro looking at me. I felt restless, I mean, I always enjoyed looking at him on my phone but here, I can't do that.

"Yo-You scared me."

"Sorry."

He stayed quite for a few moments. What should I do? What kind of relationship have Marian and Hiro? I might make another mistake.

"Oh, look, the flower I send you the other day is already blooming."

"Eh?"

I saw to where he was pointing and I saw a big blue flower on the center of a path. It was really beautiful whit the faint light of the moon upon of her.

"Ah, yea, it has become so pretty."

I smiled to him but he looked at me dead serious at the face. What? Did I mistaken again?

"So, is true?"

"Tru-True. What thing...?"

"It is true that you lost your memories."

My heart that was beating strongly a moment ago, it stopped suddenly. So, he knew. Of course, is Hiro, he can be sharp.

"You... Knew. Since when?"

"I just hear the maids saying something like that so I came to check myself. Of course I never sent you a flower, you neither speak or look at me like ever anyway. But today when we arrive your eyes were glued to me. It was strange since then. But now I see why."

I felt my face burning for embarrassment. Unfortunately there's no other pat I can take to run away.

"P-Please don't say anything. They told me that nobody should know. She'll punish the maids if she finds out too. That'll be unfair."

Hiro's eyes widen.

"Okay, this is kind of strange."

"Why you say so?"

"You're totally different from the Marian I know. She will never worry for the servants. She never smiles or speak softly at least she's plotting something."

"You're making me sound just like mother."

"Mmm... Yea, that's exactly how you are. Both are exasperating. No offense."

"Don't worry, I think I can agree whit you. It seems like I'm such a horrible person uh?"

Okay, now I see why I'm on Zeus bad side. Of course he never liked those things.

"You really hit hard from that fell huh?"

"Ah! Eh... It seems so, he hehe. "

How can I say that actually I'm not from this world!? Losing memories sounds more credible. I'll have to go whit that for now. And if is that the case then, I better gather all the information I can.

"Say, Hiro, if Zeus and I don't get along, why are we engaged? He even said that he'll find a way to cancel it. Why hasn't he done it yet?"

"Well, your mother, and you I think, convinced Zeus's mother to this."

Ah, Zeus's mother is scary to him. That makes sense.

"They're good friends so, Zeus's mother though it was a good idea. Also, your father and Zeus's father have a business right now so, is difficult for Zeus to say something like canceling."

"I see. Even if I also wanted, it seem difficult from my part too."

So basically, mom wants his daughter to marry into nobility. And they trying to caught them by business matters, so they think that a marry is convenient. How typical.

"That's right. But, you can change it if you want."

"What do you mean?"

"You seem to be nicer than before, no offense. So, why don't try to fix things whit him now? Tell him what happened."

"What? They told me to especially not to tell Zeus about it."

"Yea but that can clear a lot of misunderstandings don't you think? Zeus is not that bad as you think."

I know he's not a bad person. He always was a kind person and even when it doesn't seem like it, he was unexpectedly gentle and supportive. Maybe, Hiro is right and I should tell him. He might soften to me.

"Okay, I'll go tell him."

"Good."

I went to search Zeus again on the garden. And when I found it he of course, send me an annoying glance.

"Zeus, there's something I need to tell you."

"uh? What is it this time?"

"Well, you see, it might be hard to believe but, due to the horse falling, I get hit on my head and when I woke up, I've lost my whole memories. I didn't even remember what my name was."

Zeus stayed silent for a moment, he didn't even blink when I told him the story. Did he hear me at least?

"Mmm, I see, so now you don't remember anything uh?"

I looked at him whit hope. Does he believe me?

"Is this just another one of your tricks!?"

"Uh?"

Suddenly, my hopes shattered on pieces.

"What kind of game is that!? Do you really think I'll believe a nonsense like that? You always made up lies like that just to toy with me. That's why I didn't believe that thing of the horse when they told me at first. I just came cuz my mother forced me. And now you have amnesia? Yea right."

Zeus passed me and start walking towards the exit.

"There you are Hiro! Come on, lest get out of here. I'm sick of this place. "

Zeus really is an idiot uh?

"Umm, Marian?"

Hiro approached me from behind. I... Wasn't feeling quiet right.

"Hey, uh, I'm sorry, I... Know I encourage you to tell him but... I guess, I forgot that Zeus is also a big idiot. I should've think on that before."

"No, is okay. He's right. I'm a horrible person after all,. I shouldn't expect him to believe me. "

I felt so frustrated. Nothing of this is my fault! Why I have to bear all of this? I couldn't see Hiro in the eye so I just turned and started to leave. But a ruffle of my dress got caught on a root. Gosh! What else can go wrong! I stared to pull my skirt to free it. Stupid dress!

"Calm down, if you pulled it like that you'll ripped it."

Hiro kneeling down and carefully loose the riffle.

"There you go."

He stood up again, and my eyes fixed on the sword he was wearing on his waist. I saw his tattoo on the other arm too.

"Are you okay?"

He asked me.

"I... Remembered that I'll be going to a Magic Academy next week. But, I don't know anything about magic."

"You also forgot it?"

"I guess."

"Well, it always exists the possibility for you to remember. We still don't know how much time this will be."

"I don't know if I want to be back to who I was before. It seems that I'm not a good person."

I miss my home, I miss my family, I miss my friends. This is not what I wanted. Will I ever go back to my own world?

"Well, it doesn't matter anymore, right?. You are the one living now. Whoever you were in the past it has stayed behind, you don't need to behave like someone you don't know. The one you are right now is the one that matters. And while you are here you can, you know, take advantage of this life and live it to the fullest. Don't you think?"

Hiro's words sounded like he'll know about the real me. It felt like... It really makes sense... In a strange way.

"Hey, Hiro! Hurry up! What is taking you so long!?"

"And that's my call. You should come too, to say goodbye. "

"Uh, right."

"The name is Hiro, by the way. Just in case."

"Hiro. Thank you, for being so nice even when is obviously that I haven't been nice to you before. "

"Don't mind it."

He briefly smiled at me and then keep walking, he is so considerated.

We said goodbye at the entrance, and while they leave I keep thinking on Hiro's words, he made me feel a lot at ease. Hehe, he is just like in the game huh? I should live this life to the fullest uh? I headed to my room, but before climbing the stairs, someone grabbed my hair and pulled me up stairs.

"Kyaa! What...!?"

I briefly saw that it was mother the one pulling me from my hair. And she didn't let me go until we reach my room. She pushed me inside and I stumble whit my dress and fell on the ground.

"Can I know what we're you thinking?"

Now, why is she so angry now?

"What were you doing talking whit that servant?"

"Servant? You mean Hiro?"

"Your goal is Zeus! You don't have time to lose on a servant, I've told you thousands of times! The only reason that you will be sent to Gedonelune is to be closer to Zeus and marry him, that's the only way we can enter the nobility, keep that clear on your mind! That's the only thing you can do for your family that it has giving you everything. Don't forget it."

She turned and slammed the door. I didn't even have time to say anything. Is this the kind of circumstances that Marian lives then? So I guess that's the reason why she's so desperate. Oh, look at my dress! It ripped. Hiro untangle it so carefully just a minute ago. I stood up and headed to the window. Is such a stary night, Hiro's word keep sounding on my head. It doesn't matter who I was before, this is what I have now. Let's take the best of it while it last! The good part is that I'll get out of here and I'll be on that place where so many adventures happens! Let this dream last all that it wants!

Pairing: Hiro x Marian

Chapter 1

Hello, my name is ____, I'm a girl just like you. I have a job, I spend my time on social media, fandom's, and of course, Otome Games. My favorite one is Shall we Date Wizardess Heart. Is amazing! Since the first day I downloaded I didn't stop a single day of playing. I have my favorite boys too. Alfonse is amazing, Hiro is amazing, everyone is amazing! Why can't I find a real boy like one of them? Is too much to ask? Oh well, still, I'm very content whit my life right now. But, they say that the predictable of life is that is totally unpredictable. The last I can remember is my dear game on the screen of my cellphone while I was on the airplane. Is at night time, and it was pitch dark inside since almost everybody was asleep. My eyelids were heavy. We still have more hours of travel and I'm tired. But still, I was in such sweet moment on my favorite route, that I didn't wanted to stop, just a little more, I almost done with the ending. But my head was heavy, and before I notice, I fell asleep.

The next thing I saw, was a strange ceiling. It was, red? I was in a bed? Do I'm at home? On my hotel perhaps? I grabbed my head and instantly a throbbing pain attacked me. I hear some rushed steps whit the sudden vision of a woman dressed on a funny way.

"Oh my goodness! Young lady you finally woke up! Doctor! Doctor please! She woke up!"

Please stop screaming! Who is that girl? Wait, did she call a doctor? Where is this place? I tried to rise from the bed, but every movement makes my head throb even more. The doors opened and a bunch o people came saying a lot of things, being so noisy. Just shut up!

"Lady Marian, how do you feel? Did you head hurt?"

Who is he talking with? To me? My vision finally cleared a little and I was able to see the faces that were at the edge of the bed. Some girls were dresses on black and white. The bed I was in was huge and the red ceiling was actually a canopy over the bed. Uh? Wasn't I on a airplane? How did I get here? Is this a dream? The doors opened again and a well dressed woman entered the room. Everyone else back off and she look at me from the other side of the bed, without the most significant feeling.

"Honestly, to think that you have been sleeping for three days already, you have no sense at all right? "

Uh? What, three days?

"We had to sacrifice a good horse for your senselessness. Worse yet, do you know what would have happened if you had die? All the big sacrifices we have made for you would had been in vain! "

Why is this old woman yelling at me? Not even my own mother yells at me.

"My-my Lady, the young lady just woke up. She need to rest a little bit more, she hit her head in a horrible way, is a miracle that she's alive, we should let her rest for now. "

What kind of theater is this? By the way, this room looks like something you'll see on the palace of Versailles. Is really beautiful, but...

"um... Excuse me"

I spoke to all this people once I feel my mind a lot more clearly

"Who are you all people?"

My question send everyone on freeze.

"What... Are you talking about?"

Said the stern woman.

"Are you trying to play fool on your own irresponsible acts?"

"sorry but, I don't know what are you talking about. Where am I by the way?"

"Young Lady"

The doctor approached me

"Could it be... That the hit on your head... "

"My head?"

I touched my head and it instantly hurt again

"Ouch!"

"Young lady, do you remember what happened? Do you know where you are? Do you at least know your full name?"

I looked at the worried eyes of the old doctor. What is it? Is there something I missed?

"I... Why you keep calling me young lady? What is this place? Did... Did you guys kidnapped me!?"

Everyone gasped at the same time. The doctor retired from my bed and walked towards the well dressed woman.

"My lady, I'm so deeply sorry. It is possible that the young lady... Lost her memories "

"Wha... What!?"

For the first time the woman face turns pale and broke her stern look. And then she suddenly passed out. The girls dressed as maids rushed to grab her. The doctor asked them that take her to another room and after they leave he address me

"Young lady, you must not panic. You are in a safe place, this is your home. You have fallen from a horse while riding and you sleep for three days due to it. Is common that you feel confused, but I sure you, everything will be fine. We're all here to help you. "

"E... Excuse me?"

"Did you al least remember your name?"

"Uh... _____?"

"I see you don't"

What? I'm wrong whit my own name?"

"Your name is Marian Von Swanson. You are the proud daughter of Lord of Swanson of the Kingdom of Queensblade. "

....

"I think you're wrong. "

"No my lady I'm pretty sure of this"

He said whit a smile.

Wait a moment... Did he said Queensblade!!?? I felt dizzy again and laid down on bed. Is a dream right? I'm having a dream. I probably been playing Wizardess Heart to much, that's why I'm confusing things right?... Right?....

To be continued...
