"I need to find my darling husband!" Said Danny, dressed to the nines in a very elaborate royal dress with a lot of jewelry running through the ballroom after having been on the opposite end of a very worrying phone call.
"Seriously, what do you even see in that mortal!?" Screamed an observant and Danny stopped and leveled them with a glare cold enough to freeze over an active volcano and sharp enough to cut through obsidian.
"He makes me laugh."
Unlike those dead suitors went unsaid, but everyone at the ball (read: search for a bride/groom for the royal ghostling) practically heard it anyways.
Meanwhile over in the land of the living
Okay so Jason may have messed up. Now you see, he hasn't seen his platonic husband for tax benefits in a while, and he's been very careful to not let his identity as the Red Hood slip up before . Not even once in their relationship.
(He's not counting the time his in-laws sniffed him out as a Crime Lord, because Danny never believed them.)
Now, it wasn't exactly his fault he slipped up. You try to fight off an entire group after being pulled up on out of nowhere on the phone while trying to hide said noises of fighting.
Who was he calling? Danny of course since he said he was away for business. What business? Never specified and Jason wasn't going to pry.
So now here he was, bound 'helplessly' as Jason Todd along with a few other random civilians. Which, like, rude.
Wasn't he already good enough for this ancient ritual or whatever?
You know, he really should have walked with that "Anti-kidnapping device" he got that one time. Which honestly he feels like he should be surprised that such a thing exists but considering it was from Bruce. Well.
He's not surprised.
Oh, there's the Justice League now. Shame, he wanted to knock out a few guys himself- Oh, now he's being used to summon a ghost from the Infinite Realms of Royal Lineage.
Yea he probably should have walked with that "Anti-kidnapping device."
Wait a goddamn-
Is that-
"My darling husband!" Danny shouted, scooping him off the circle and away from the head cultist and swinging him around. "You had me worried sick!"
Now, he should ask the question anyone would in this situation when finding out your best friend and platonic husband for tax benefits was apparently a ghost of royal lineage.
"Why're you in a dress?"
"Okay, first of all I rock this thing." Danny huffed.
"That you do." Jason agreed rather easily.
"Second of all, blame those guys over there." He jerked his head in the direction of two very green floating eyeball people.
Not the weirdest he's seen, honestly.
The Observants were whispering to each other and leveling them-Jason in particular-a look.
"Now as you can see, I already have a spouse and I don't need another!" Danny hugged Jason closer for emphasis and he took the time to whisper in Danny's ear. "Did you really marry me to play the husband card?"
"Well, yes." Danny agreed. "But also because of taxes, because I love you and you're my best friend."
"So, we're still done for watching that movie right."
"Obviously."
A pained grunt came from below them and they both looked down to see Batman standing over a very unconscious cultist and looking up at them.
Hm.
He forgot they were there.
"So," Jason began, staring Bruce straight in the eyes. Batman's eyes narrowed. "Don't suppose we can push that forward to right now?"
"Yea, sure why not I'm not doing anything important." Danny leveled the Observants a look, and before either they, Batman, or the Justice League could do anything they both disappeared.

Loving Arms (2)
Summary: The children of Viserys I from his wife Alicent Hightower had always been lacking in affection from their parents. They simply didn't realize how much until their widowed aunt was brought into their lives. (AU where Alicent has an older sister and her kids get the love that they deserve, takes place some time after the Driftmark event)
Part II: Family Dinner
A/N: No pairings as of right now as I want to focus on the familial and platonic relationships with Greens when they're still quite young. (credit for the divider goes to @kawaii-lau)
The royal family were not ones to eat a meal together often; typically dinner consisted of Alicent, Helaena, and Aemond. Or Otto and Alicent, even simply Aemond and Helaena. But rare was the occurrence that Aegon would sit at the table to dine with his family and that all members, apart from his Majesty the King Viserys, would choose to eat with one another.
Of course, the elder Hightower daughter was unaware that it was solely due to her arrival that all were seated at the table.
The meal itself was sumptuous; fresh venison on a bed of roasted vegetables, bread straight from the oven, a hearty stew, and a variety of sweet cakes and treats. All things that (Y/N) did not hesitate to eat from her plate, famished from her weary travels.
It was quiet, save for the occasional scrape of knives and the clink of forks or spoons.
"Well," Alicent smiled. "Isn't it lovely that we can all come together and eat as a family after so many years apart. If only Gwayne was here as well, then it would be similar to our youth, don't you think (Y/N)?"
Her older sister offered a tense smile, "I suppose it is a bit like our childhood. I am surprised you still remember any of it since you were quite young at our last family gathering."
"It comes and goes, because as you say, I was quite young when... when our mother passed," Alicent smiled at her children and all three straightened. "But I am reminded of it when I spend time with my sons and daughter."
"Then I am sure she barely remembers then," Aegon muttered and earning himself a kick to leg from Aemond.
"Behave!" the younger scolded.
Otto cleared his throat and the boys sat up in their chairs once more.
"Let us move past all this," the Hand said. "No need to trouble ourselves with the nonsense of remembering bygones and look to the future. Keeping our family strong and well established.
"Hear, hear!" Alicent agreed while lifting her chalice in agreement.
His oldest daughter couldn't help but laugh at her father's words and shook her head.
"Did you find any humor in my words, daughter?" he asked.
The tone in which he spoke, seemed to trigger something in Alicent as she shrunk back in her seat and looked to the meal in front of her. Her older sister, on the other hand stared straight ahead to their father.
"I find it amusing that you say that, Father" (Y/N) said while cutting into her venison. "You didn't seem to find the notion of family all that important when you left behind two orphaned children in Oldtown for your elder brother to deal with."
A sweeping silence fell over the table.
"Or am I wrong?" she asked. "Mother had recently passed when you left Gwayne and I behind at Oldtown, taking only our dear Alicent with you. She was your favorite after all."
"Do not start with me, (Y/N)!" Otto scolded. "You know your brother was being raised to someday lead Oldtown in my stead."
"What about your recently disfigured daughter? Why was she left behind?" she asked. "Or were you too ashamed that my face would make you a laughingstock. When as your oldest daughter, I should have also been allowed to accompany you to find an advantageous marriage as well."
"Do not speak nonsense, (Y/N)." Her father grumbled, "It was to your benefit that you stayed behind, otherwise you would have never been able to marry your husband. I have always looked to ensure our family would be well off."
She scoffed and rolled her eyes, a soft frown marring her features. Her father's response seemed to aggravate her more than she let on, as she stood up from her seat, scraping it heavily against the floor.
"I think I will retire to my chambers for the evening," she turned to smile softly at her nephews and niece. "I will see all of you early tomorrow morning, I have a few things that I brought you three from Dorne."
She turned stiffly to her younger sister and father, "Good night!"
The clicking of her heels against the floor echoed as she left the room, and the Targaryen siblings looked to one another before turning their gaze to their mother and grandsire.
"May we be excused, Mother?" Aemond asked politely.
Alicent looked to be apprehensive, but her father wanted to have a word with her and waved the trio off. Muttering to himself in annoyance over his eldest daughter's words and behavior that evening.
Aegon was quick to pull his younger brother and sister from their seats, hoping that he could avoid either of the adults minds from allowing them to step away. Knowing that they would attempt to stop the siblings if they knew that they would chase after their aunt.
"Come on, come on!" Aegon urged with a giggle, hurrying to catch up with (Y/N).
Something soft bubbled beneath Aegon's chest and he could not remember a time he had felt this way since his childhood had been marred by maltreatment, neglect, and unkind words. But seeing his own aunt stand up for herself, not letting his grandsire excuse himself for his callous actions of the past, it lit a small feeling of hope that perhaps someone could understand.
And he didn't want to let that feeling go.
Aemond was struggling through his own internal torment and insecurity. He did not want to get his hopes up that his aunt would understand his feelings about feeling othered and scorned for his appearance that was he felt was no fault of his own, but he knew that he truly wanted to know.
No, he needed to know if there was someone else like him.
Helaena, perhaps did not feel as conflicting emotions as that of her older and younger brothers, but she also felt that things would soon change with the presence of their outspoken aunt. Words had often failed her, those closest to her rarely were able to understand the young princess even when she was direct with her words. But now... now here was this woman, that was clear and did not mince her words and let her thoughts be known.
She wanted to learn from this woman that was not afraid to be herself.
And there, standing alongside her sworn guard was (Y/N) as she intended to ready herself in her chambers.
But almost collectively the three shouted, "Muña!"
She turned to them and as soon as her soft eyes fell on their figures.
She smiled.
And it was then, the three were absolutely certain that they needed her to be a permanent fixture in their lives.
A/N: And that concludes part 2! 🥳 Please let me know what you all think, I am honestly super pumped to continue this series.

Could you do more Madara as big brother stuff! Like a part 2 of how he’d (or even the other Uchiha) would react if reader doesn’t want to marry who the clan chose for them (like arranged marriage) thanks!!
rumor has it; uchiha men
synopsis — when their sister is being forced into an arranged marriage
content warning — arranged marriage, platonic yandere behavior
a/n — more requests are on the way throughout the week as i continue editing and writing. thank you for those who have been patient. i work at a hospital and am a nursing student, so i do not have too much time to just sit all day answering requests immediately. also, if the person who asked about the suguru sees this, please elaborate more because i have been confused.
♡ madara uchiha
— he feels 50/50 about the situation and it all boils down to one thing: strength
— wether the chosen suitor agrees to it or not, madara will put him through a series of situations, trials if you will, to see if they are worthy of your hand
— if they fail, then he will reject the proposal in disgust, while if he passes then he will approve
— however, if you are very adamant of not marrying the suitor, despite how he seems, he will agree with your wishes
— while he cares about the order within his clan, his immediate family will always come first to him
“lord madara”
“what is it?” madara groaned, he had been trying to finish up with the scrolls, but it seemed like someone wanted his attention every few minutes.
“it is your sister, my lord,” the shinobi said awkwardly.
“let her in,” he said immediately, his eyes softening as you entered, your face puffy from crying.
“you approved the marriage”
“hizako has proven himself worthy-
“what about what i want?” you cried.
“what do you want?”
“to keep getting stronger with you and zuna,” you sniffled.
“y/n, you need security, someone i know can protect you”
“i already know two men who can do that,” you said, making his eyes widened.
“who-
“my older brothers,” you said, wiping your eyes, while he smiled.
“i’ll postpone it for six months and if you’re still uninterested, then i will call it off”
“you’re the best”
“i know”
♡ itachi uchiha
— no matter if he chooses to make you stay with sasuke or brings you along with him if you don’t want to marry the person, he’s not allowing it
— if you went with him, things will play out differently. the akatsuki is not meant for someone like you and he doesn’t want you to focus on getting stronger like sasuke. instead, he brings you to a village close to where he is staying, visiting on occasion
— as you get older and locals realize you are one of the last uchiha people left, everyone is offering up their children for marriage with you. while you initially decline, you notice a bit of passive aggressiveness on their end and all it takes is whining to itachi, during his next visit and you’ll wake to him carrying you to your new home after he tortured those from the village you once lived in
— if you stay with sasuke, he expects sasuke to watch over you, and he does for the most part, until he decides to leave you too. with no one there, many older people begin to discuss an arranged marriage for you. not only would it dilute the uchiha blood, but potentially spread the sharingan to many
— itachi watches from the shadows as you cry about the unfairness of it all and how you missed your brothers. suddenly the s-rank criminal shows up in konoha paying his sister and these elders a visit
“are you sure you’re okay, y/n?” hinata asked, watching your saddened state. you sat in front of your bowl of ramen and you hadn’t touched it yet.
“are they still looking?” you said, as hinata turned towards the elders who were scowling at you.
“yes”
“i’m leaving,” you sat your money on the counter, turning to leave, when there was a gust of wind.
“s-sasuke’s brother,” hinata gasped, watching as you stood frozen.
you didn’t want to turn around, you couldn’t. itachi was your everything, the best big brother anyone could ask for. you slept peacefully throughout that night, only to find sasuke a crying mess, and that your sleep had been induced. you didn’t want to accept the fact that itachi would do what he had done, but there was no denying it. yet after all these years, he stood here, behind you, his arm loosely around you. loose, yet you could feel the protectiveness within it.
“brother?” you felt the tears running down your face, as kakashi sensei appeared.
“turn and face me,” he said, his voice still as mellow as ever. gulping you turned, and your hand went to your mouth to hold back your cries.
“you will not marry anyone you don’t want to be with, i’ll make sure of it,” he told you, reaching to wipe your eyes.
“itachi, get away from her,” kakashi said
“sasuke has failed you, but i will always make sure that won’t happen again,” he told you, his dark eyes peering into your own.
“big brother, why did you do it? i know you, there was a reason-
“i am only here about you”
“then let me come with you”
“and make you a criminal? you can’t even beat sasuke and he’s still weak. you’re better off here, my cute baby sister,” he told you, patting your head, before walking away.
“take care of yourself, my y/n,” he continued to himself.
looking towards the crowd of elders, they gasped at his sharingan. he didn’t have to say anything to them, a simple gaze was enough to make them understand what he was saying. they were going to leave you alone, or he’d simply make them.
♡ indra ōtsutsuki
— indra, much like madara is 50/50, before different reasons. it more so has to do with if you’re closer with him or asura
— if you’re closer with asura, he doesn’t care too much, when he gets the news. not saying that he doesn’t care at all, because he’ll probably talk asura or a few of his friends into “checking” to see if this person is even strong enough to protect his sister
— if the person or the clan prove to be worthy, he kind of backs off about the matter, but he will still watch from afar as everything falls into place
— if you’re close with him, especially after asura was chosen, i feel that he will be borderline yandere. you’re his baby sister. also! you’re the only person that feels like he is doing perfectly fine, that he deserved what was given to asura. he wouldn’t give you away so easily, especially when you didn’t want to marry this person anyway
— he’ll intimidate the hell out of them, he might even fight them. he doesn’t care if they are forced into the arranged marriage too, he wants them to back out because they are not worthy to even be in your presence
“y/n is one of the best fighters in the clan, she was trained by my eldest, indra,” hagoromo said, as the parents of your potential suitor sat in front of you.
“hold your head up dear, i’d love to see your beautiful eyes”
“she inherited them from my mother,” hagoromo said.
“absolutely wonderful, what do you think of her son-
before the young man could speak, the door slid open roughly. indra glared at the family as he slowly sauntered to the group, before sitting next to you.
“indra-
“what?” indra turned to his father, his sharingan activated.
“this meeting is only about y/n-
“she's lived with me for the last year, i should know be here with her,” indra scoffed. your rigid form relaxed as he interlocked his fingers with your own.
“tell her son,” the boy’s father continued.
“you’re very beautiful,” the boy blurted, his face burning with embarrassment.
“she is, the two of you would make very lovely heirs with your-
“byakugan,” you answered. squeezing indra’s hand, all he could think of his the previous night. he attempted to surprise you with a sweet treat, but accidentally interrupted you crying your eyes out. father was trying to set up an arranged marriage and he was trying to keep it a secret because he knew indra would he angry about it.
“yes, the byakugan, those eyes could be passed on for generations,” his mother smiled.
“do you think i’m letting my sister marry your pathetic son,” indra suddenly spoke up.
“indra, stop this-
“how about you beat me in a match, if i lose we’ll see about it, but if i win, find someone else,” indra said stoically, as he stared unblinking at the parents, before facing the boy.
“this really isn’t necessary-
“oh but it is, you see my sister is very precious to me, so much that i cannot allow my father to marry her off to a shrimp like your son, who can’t even stand up against me. so your arrangement is officially rejected,” indra said, taking your hand, and walking away with you.
hagoromo was too busy trying to calm them down to stop the two of you, letting you leave the main house. once outside, you hugged indra tightly, thanking him for stepping in.
“don’t thank me, it’s my duty as your brother. if it were up to me you would never get married, but i know the day will come. when that day does come, i’ll make sure it’s someone you want to be with,” he patted your head, before the two of you began to walk away.
♡ obito uchiha
— he wants his only sibling to live a life separate from the path he’s on. he occasionally visits, but tries to not show up too much to interrupt the peaceful little life you have for yourself
— however, when he shows up, he can see from a distance, the unfamiliar clan members leaving your home, he can see how puffy your face looked. you had clearly been crying
— he waits a few minutes before knocking, acting as if he just showed up, before pointing out that you look as if you had been crying. he couldn’t hide too well how much it hurt him, when you lied about the reason, blaming the weather
— once he leaves, he begins investigating when he finds out about the clan. they’d noticed you and decided that you would be perfect for the heir of the main family. with no family around they began to push until you would finally give in. from your tears he knew this wasn’t something you wanted. but you didn’t have to worry because your big brother would take care of everything
— after the terrible “freak accident” leading to the death of the main family, the clan calls off any further arrangements. you are left alone to continue living your happy little life, and while you are suspicious of obito, he would never admit to what he did
opening the door as obito approached, your eyes softened at his distant expression. he seemed to be in his head. walking to him you wrapped your arms around him, sighing as he followed, embracing you.
“thank you, big brother”
“what are you thanking me for,” he glanced at you.
“the clan, was it not you?”
“i don't know what we're talking about, but i love you too,” he said, as he began to walk past you into your home.
“also…y/n”
“yes?”
“you know if you need me i’ll always come to you, right?” he asked.
“yes, of course”
“then write me back more, i never hear from you kid,” he said, getting comfortable.
♡ sasuke uchiha
— he doesn’t pay the clan members any mind, initially. every time they showed up at your shared apartment, he slammed the door in their face. when they stared at the two of you, he didn’t care
— it wasn’t until he was walking to pick you up from school, that he noticed the elders speaking to you, as you held your head down. approaching them, he demands to know what’s going on, leading to them telling him plainly about the arranged marriage
— when they leave, he expresses his anger at you and the situation. it was supposed to be the two of you against the world, but here you were agreeing to marriages with people you didn’t even know
— he gives you the silent treatment for days until an argument happens. he was progressing in strength while you would not pursue the life of a shinobi, with him away all the time on missions it became easy for the clan to become pushy about the marriage, and so you were giving in with no other solutions
— storming away, he goes and picks a fight with the potential suitor, dragging him back to the apartment and forcing him to call off the arrangement. it gets him into a lot of trouble that kakashi struggles to get him out of, but it is worth it because the two of you end up making up
“excuse you, geez,” you whined, as he bumped your shoulder.
“i pay the bills around here, if you have a problem with where i walk, move in with your future husband”
“seriously”
“tell me again, why you agreed to this? what would are parents think? you just go and marry a stranger. what about school? what about us, itachi left us, it’s just you and me-
“stop saying that when it isn’t true, you asshole,” you screamed, making him stop, you had never spoken to him that way before.
“you are not alone, no matter how much you think you are. you have naruto, kakashi, and sakura. everyone either wants to be your friend or be with you. you’re one of the strongest in your class. and where does that leave me? the youngest sibling who ended up not being a shinobi. no special abilities, a nobody compared to you. if these people think i am worthy to be with their son, i’ll do it, even if i don’t want this for myself-
“why would you think i would accept this-
“does it matter, you’re always away anyway, all you want is to kill itachi and power, so don’t act like you care,” you scoffed, wiping your tears.
“i don’t care, are you serious?” he raised his voice suddenly, making you jump.
turning away he stormed out of the apartment into the rain. hearing the distant thunder you became worried. for nearly twenty minutes, you anxiously sat, until the door began to open. standing up, your heart dropped, as sasuke dragged the beaten-up guy into the room, by his shirt.
“tell her”
“t-the arrangement is off”
“your clan will leave her alone”
“yes, they will,” he nodded, flinching.
“apologize for harassing her”
“i’m sorry, miss, forgive me,” he cried.
“now get out,” sasuke shoved him towards the door, watching as the tears fell from your eyes. slow approaching, he forced you into a hug.
“don’t ever think that you are alone. that’s my job. even if i am miles away, I won’t allow you to go through something like marrying someone out of convenience. you are an uchiha and my baby sister, it’s not happening, as long as i’m here,” he glared at you, but his eyes softened as you went to hug them, thanking him.
“sasuke?”
“hm?”
“since we’ve made up, could you cook tomorrow, i’m tired of ramen”
“fine”

WWX is the one to actually travel in time, but LXC uses something similar to empathy to share his memories so he also has experienced the original timeline
3Zun Fixit AU Series by Eleanor_Fenyx (E, 132k, 3Zun, Angst with a happy ending, Time Travel, Established Relationship, Hurt/comfort, Fluff) is one where LXC isn't actually the time traveler but has him waking up in the altered timeline (at an earlier point) with all his previous memories intact so it's similar-ish?

together
platonic! Xaden x gn!reader x Garrick words: 1.3k 🏷: prequel flashback that contains mild fourth wing and iron flame spoilers, 17-18 y/o Xaden and Garrick and gender neutral reader who was their childhood friend (this could be angel, but I purposely left it vague) hurt/comfort, reader dressing Xaden's wounds and brief mentions of blood, tears, fluffy ending (who doesn’t love a good old fashioned friendship cuddle/nap pile?)
The knock on the door of the room you’ve been assigned pulls your focus away from the book in your hands that you haven’t really been reading, just looking at the pages absentmindedly; you can’t bring yourself to enjoy it, not with everything else going on around you.
You know it’s Xaden from the rhythm -- he’s using the secret knock you and Garrick had come up with as children; the same basic pattern, ending with one tap for him, two for Garrick, three for you, and four for Bodhi; your age order.
“Come in,” you call.
You aren’t expecting him to look so dejected, his shoulders slumped and head hung, looking utterly defeated, shirt off, held limply in his hand. “Talk to me,” you say gently, immediately concerned.
“I’d do it myself, but I can’t see them,” he says quietly, turning to show you the bloody cuts covering his back.
Your jaw drops. There has to be…
“One hundred and seven,” he answers before you can ask. One for each of you. They’d turned a respected tradition for marriage and parenthood into a punishment, carving into his skin over and over, deep enough to make sure it would scar.
“Oh, Xay…” you breathe, stunned.
“I cut a deal. We’re safe,” he responds. “All of us. But we’ll be forced into lives of service to the crown as dragon riders.”
You don’t fully process the terms, too busy digging around for a first aid kit. There’s one in nearly every room of this house, a military protocol that his father had taken quite seriously.
He sits on the edge of the bed and hunches forward, resting his elbows on his knees and lowering his head as you work in silence, cleaning and disinfecting all of the cuts as delicately as you can, but he still flinches away from the sting of the alcohol against his raw skin.
“I’m almost done,” you promise.
He doesn’t respond. You don’t expect him to; he’s never been particularly chatty, but you know there’s a storm brewing behind those dark eyes right now, but you’ll be there for him when it starts.
You coax him to sit up a bit so you can wrap the gauze, wrapping him in it from shoulder to waist to cover all of the cuts, and helping him put his shirt back on.
The pain of getting his arms through the sleeves is the last straw -- he finally starts to cry.
You know hugging him would just cause him more pain, and you can’t stroke his back, not wanting to put any pressure on the torn skin, so you settle for petting his hair, smoothing your fingers through the dark strands and gently rubbing the back of his neck to relax him.
“C’mere,” you coax, leaning back against the headboard and setting a pillow in your lap.
With a soft sound of discomfort, he shifts his weight down, resting his head on your lap and wrapping his arms around your waist, clinging to you tightly. His body shakes with sobs as his fingers dig into your skin, and you feel like your heart has been ripped in two.
You‘ve only seen Xaden cry once before, when you were ten, and his mother’s marriage contract expired, giving her the right to leave Tyrrendor and leave Xaden’s life forever, disappearing without a trace. You’d held him like this then, too, let him sob into the collar of your shirt and spent the rest of that day sitting with him and Garrick in near-silence, trying not to cry over the loss yourselves, needing to be strong for your friend.
His mother had always been kind to the three of you. She’d loved Xaden dearly, and appeared to tolerate Fen, with no obvious signs that she wanted to leave, but nonetheless, she’d taken the chance and ran with it, literally. It remained unclear if Xaden had gotten to say goodbye — he likely hadn’t, given the extent of his distress, probably hearing the news from his father before he ran to find the pair of you.
You realize now that it might not have been her decision, that Fen might have asked her to leave. But you’ll never know for sure — he, along with your parents, is lost to you forever.
You don’t tell him it’s okay, because it isn’t, but you need to say something, to acknowledge his pain and the sacrifice he’d just made for you and all of your friends, for people neither of you have even met.
“I know it hurts, X,” you soothe, stroking a hand through his dark locks as he continues to sniffle quietly. “I’m so sorry they made you do that. I’m sorry for everything. You didn't deserve any of it. None of this was your fault."
The door opens with a soft creak, Garrick stepping inside. His eyes widen at the sight of Xaden still trembling, clinging to you and crying, which is disturbing enough in itself, without the open first aid kit on the nightstand next to you and the pile of bloody cotton balls that you’d used to clean his wounds.
“Uallach,” you whisper. Responsibility.
Garrick puts it together quickly enough — Xaden was forced to take the traditional cuts for all of you. He sits beside you both on the arm of the couch, quiet. “I’m so sorry, Xay,” he says softly, brushing a hand over the other boy’s shoulder, careful not to nudge the bandages.
Xaden adjusts his hold on you, reaching out with one arm — the one bearing the same relic you’re all stuck with now, that smoky black pattern that covers the skin — wincing at the way the motion tugs the cuts on his back. He takes Garrick’s hand in his, holding it silently, a gesture with multiple meanings; a bid for comfort, wanting to have his best friends close, but also a reminder that the three of you are in this together, and an apology; in his deal with the general to save your lives, he’d been forced to agree to all one hundred and seven of you enrolling in Basgiath war college as dragon riders — a death sentence of its own.
“We’ll all be okay,” Garrick promises softly. “We’ll heal, and we’ll adapt, and get through it all, together.”
Xaden’s tears have dried, leaving him with a headache and that hollow feeling you get after a thorough cry. He feels heavier against you, a sign that he’s drifting toward sleep. Good. Rest will help him heal, and give him a break from this exhaustion.
Garrick takes a pillow from the other side of the bed, motioning for you to sit up a little. You move incredibly carefully, not wanting to disturb Xaden in his delicate state, but thankfully he doesn’t seem bothered by it, too worn out to notice or care as Garrick places the pillow behind your back to make you more comfortable.
“How are you feeling?” he asks quietly.
“Tired,” you answer.
“We could all use some sleep,” he concedes, kicking off his boots and shrugging off his jacket, cuddling up against the both of you.
You hum in agreement, fighting a yawn. You haven’t been able to rest much this week, constantly working to take care of the younger children, and the sleep you did get has been plagued by nightmares of the days prior — you’re exhausted.
You hope Xaden’s dreams will be kind to him — he looks peaceful, still breathing steadily.
“Get some rest,” Garrick says softly. “Tomorrow will be a new day, and we can start figuring all of this out then.”
You let your eyes drift shut, leaning your head against his muscled shoulder. You’re all going to be sore when you wake up from sleeping like this, bar Xaden, who looks perfectly comfortable where he’s curled up between you like an overgrown puppy.
Garrick is right. The three of you will get through this, together.

Could you please do Timothee x Kylie synastry?
I really enjoy your content & would like your take on if their synastry shows a long-term connection and problems they could have/be having?
Timothee & Kylie Synastry
Rmr to take this as entertainment. It is not fact. Everyone has free will to make their own choices.

Based on synastry…
How Long Will It Last?
They have a psychic bond however it isn’t a grounded bond. The synastry here seems “as long as we’re having fun, we’ll keep going”. This is due to all the Neptune influence - Moon & Mercury sextile Neptune, Neptune conjunct Neptune, Uranus conjunct Venus, Venus same sign as Jupiter.
They likely rarely run into relationship problems. And this is simply because they have few (if any) expectations for one another. The understanding that one will not restrict the other’s life steers the connection away from conflict. This is due to Sun conjunct Asc in Cap - ruler Saturn conjunct SN.
Kylie has a cancer dsc, scorpio moon in 11th H, Leo sun in 8th house - this combination indicates she has been emotionally hurt by having expectations for men. This is her natal & does not having anything to do w Timothee. But to protect herself, she can sub consciously approach romance w a level of detachment. Almost like thinking “it doesn’t matter what he does as long as he comes back to me at the end of the day.”
[However, this is only one potential manifestation of these placements. She could have this mindset for a small phase of life but later evolve into wanting more for herself.]
Potential Trouble?
Her Sun 8th H overlaps his 12th H. These houses deal w darker topics like trauma. Timothee might not see her more intense + deeper & potentially darker side.
Examples - not the exact scenarios: If she was feeling insecure, depressed or acting out a trauma response, he most likely wouldn’t pick up on it. If she was hiding a secret or being manipulative, he likely wouldn’t notice.There is a strong possibility that even when he does notice these things he still doesn’t understand the extent of her emotions.
If one of them were to eventually desire something more serious & committed, it would likely be her. This is due to her prominent water placements. But she wouldn’t be direct in asking, she might drop indirect hints until he takes the lead/action to either confirm or deny.
Timothée has a water moon too but his saturn placement adds balance. In any relationship to anyone, he is unlikely to become overly emotional & attached. He keeps his personal desires & goals such as career & status in mind. However, Kylie once attached is prone to abandon herself for the sake of her partner/relationship. This is due to her cancer 7th H + 7th H ruler in Scorpio.
Ultimately Kylie’s natal shows she wants a partner that will compensate for what she didn’t receive in childhood. She wants a Mars type man - Someone who will defend/protect her. Someone who will take the lead & almost guide/parent her in a way.
Timothee’s chart shows he wants a spouse who is mature + independent. Someone to take care of his day-to-day, support him unconditionally, elevate his life. DK in 6th conjunct Mars indicates his spouse will defeat his enemies for him. His spouse will make his life easier by taking on his problems - big or small - as their own.
He will end up with a spouse who brings a lot of wealth + resources to him. This kind of sounds bad but it might just be my phrasing - he basically wants to focus on his own fun, creativity, exploration - thus he wants a spouse who can take care of the boring/burdensome practical tasks AND still have the energy to join him in experiencing the pleasures of life.
But based on their synastry, I personally don’t see strong indicators for marriage. They would likely remain friends and supportive of one another even if the romance turns into a platonic friendship. This is due to positively placed supportive synastry combinations such as: sun conjunct asc, sun in 12th, moon aspect moon, mercury aspect moon.
If you believe in past lives, it is likely they have known each other previously. This is not an intense karmic relationship tho. They don’t have negative karmic with one another. This seems like encountering an old friend in the current lifetime. It is a small gift to encounter one another again. They are able to flick instantly & support one another in this life’s path.

How the Squad Found Out About that One Time Riven and Flora Kissed
First part of the chapter takes place during s4, second part is back in s2 ch28, right after the end of the chapter.
I’d originally planned to have Flo and Riv kiss in that chapter but decided against it last minute cause I just wasn’t sure how to make it clear that, while there could’ve been something there, and they both feel that, there are no actual romantic feelings between the two.
The possibility of them? Yes. the reality of them? No.
I feel like Riven and Flora have the most distinct platonic soulmate relationship, mainly because they’re the main ones I really could see falling for each other if things had been different and if they hadn’t meet Musa and Helia and I wanted to get that across in a poetic way but not a tragic way ya know? They didn’t lose anything for not falling for each other in this universe and they are still a huge part of each other’s lives if that makes sense?
Whatever, I’ll stop rambling, hope u enjoy this little drabble! I will be posting it on AO3 probably later on
***
It’d been a slow week, no activity from the Wizards and Roxy’s classes progressing nicely.
The squad had decided to have a quiet game night, with some alcohol coming into the mixture at some point.
At the moment, they were playing Truth or Dare.
In all honesty, there was very little they didn’t know about each other, but even after so long, there were still a few things that could surprise them from time to time.
Stella considered her turn, the bottle on the ground dictating that she’d gotten Riven.
The coward had chosen truth.
There were few things she could ask him that could result in anything majorly interesting.
Unless… Stella glanced towards Flora, who was leaning against Helia, his arm wrapped around her shoulders.
Anyone who had eyes could tell Flora and Riven had adored each other since their first year. That was obvious. At this point it was also obvious that, while they didn’t see each other as siblings, they didn’t see each other in any kind of romantic light either.
…but she would be lying if she said that she wasn’t curious about whether or not they ever had, even for a fleeting moment. Especially since she did remember one particular evening during their second year in which they’d both seemed… almost bashful with each other.
Should she?
Stella slowly leaned back against Brandon’s chest, meeting Riven’s challenging look, “Okay, I know what I want to ask.”
Riven spread his hands, “Go on then buttercup.”
“Have you ever… kissed someone in this room-” she ignored the snorts, continuing, “who wasn’t Musa?”
Riven froze for a split second, clearly flabbergasted before casting a single quick glance towards Flora, who had sunk into Helia’s arms, covering her face as she flushed.
“Listen-”
“I FUCKING KNEW IT!” Stella shouted, slamming a hand against the ground.
Musa broke down into giggles as she turned to Riven, “What?”
“No- it- it was before we were dating obviously. It was dumb we just…”
“We were fucking up a lot with you two so we got a little drunk and we kissed to seal our depressing marriage pact.” Flora explained.
Helia chuckled under his breath before turning to Riven with mock anger, “You got a marriage pact with my girl? What happened to the bro code?”
“We were drunk, depressed and hating on love. She was obsessed with you, I was obsessed with Musa but we were fully convinced we’d just fucked everything up for good- cut us some slack man!”
They all burst out laughing, clinging to each other as they Flora somehow sunk further into the floor and Riven hid his face in Musa’s neck.
***
Flora was thinking, unable to focus on the book in her hand. She could feel the alcohol at the base of her skull, a dull thump, barely there but just present enough to make her think.
She’d freaked out on Helia.
Riven loved her. He was her person.
Did that mean something? Or did she just want a connection that her baggage didn’t impede?
She turned to him, watching him as he tinkered on one of his projects, trying to think objectively.
He noticed after a moment, meeting her gaze, “Something wrong?”
“No, I was just… thinking.”
“About?”
He’d freaked out on Musa.
Flora loved him. She was his person.
But how did she love him? Was her mind playing tricks on her?
“Have you ever thought… that maybe… you and I should try?”
One of his eyebrows slowly rose up as he set down his tools and fully turned to face her, crossing his arms and leaning back, “I won’t lie… the thought did cross my mind once or twice… before I really started catching feelings for Musa. You?”
“Same. Before I fell for Helia… I don’t know, maybe I thought about it in passing.” But she would’ve never acted on it even back then because she knew Musa had a crush.
“It’s weird isn’t it… if not just sad. That we’ve had so little love in our lives that now we’re doubting what we have.” Riven muttered under his breath, letting his head fall back as he sighed.
“Yeah… should we… do something about it?”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know.”
Riven raised his head, inspecting her before going to join her on the small couch, sitting besides her.
“Should we kiss?” He asked, it sounded like he was asking himself just as much as he was asking her.
Flora considered, “I mean… could be like… sealing the marriage pact?” She took a deep breath, shaking off her nerves, this was her person, worst case scenario, it might be a bit gross, “Okay. I’m in if you’re in.”
Riven nodded along, “Okay.”
He leaned down to meet her halfway. It was a hesitant, yet gentle kiss, soft and slow as they both tried to figure out how they felt about it.
Seconds passed and they pulled apart, both leaning against the couch, staring at the wall before them.
“I mean… it didn’t feel… wrong.” She started hesitantly.
“But it didn’t feel right either.”
“Exactly.”
They glanced at each other before laughing light-heartily. Blushing out of embarrassment and awkwardness.
“If things were different… maybe then.” He said after a long minute.
She shrugged, bumping her shoulder against his, “Maybe in another life.”
He snorted, “Yeah, maybe in another life.”

I know a lot of aromantic people never want to be married and want to live alone and I used to be like that but now I like the idea of marriage but without the romantic stuff. I want to spend my life with another person even though most of our conversations will be talking about how our days went and complaining about whatever problem we have to deal with next. The mundanity of marriage is what's most beautiful about it to me. I wish there were more love songs that reflected this feeling but most of them focus on the "interesting" parts of love. The only songs I can think of off the top of my head that focus on the mundanity of romantic love are becoming the last names by will wood and if I could hear about your day by jreg. Even though I like the idea of marriage that does NOT mean I want a wedding. I like going to other people's weddings but I would rather die than have one of my own. Fuck the honeymoon phase I want to go straight to being in our 40s and still living in the house my grandparents built in the 1950s and sitting in the living room reading together in the evenings. I know the mushy romantic phase is a prerequisite but I would just rather not do that. Before anyone says "get platonically married!" or talks about qprs or something that's not the same to me. I know this is way too long I'll stop yapping now
this is the kind of love I want

P.S. my phone autocorrected qprs to apes. idk I just thought that was funny
fuck yeah getting married for tax benefits!
i also kind of just want another person to live with me and help me function and i would do the same but not because we're in a relationship but because we care about each other as people

➤ Courtship, Bonding and Bond Sickness
Content: A collection of world building headcanons involving demonic courtship in the Devildom and bond mates in the Celestial Realm.
Warnings: Mentions of generalized violence and typical demon-like behaviour. References to grief/depression and other mental health issues when referencing bond sickness.
COURTSHIP
A formal process of pursuing another demon for romantic purposes, courtships are a long-lasting tradition in the Devildom. Many of the customs and practices used in ancient times have gradually been phased out or replaced with less deadly variations to make Devildom social customs more palatable for the other realms.
Demonic courtship is meant to symbolize a demon's usefulness, such as their skills in combat and ability to provide a comforting home for their mate and potential family. The focus is on proving their personal strength (physical or magical) and resourcefulness rather than social status or wealth.
Some of the common courtship traditions practiced today may include:
A piece of jewelry forged with a bloodstone (a type of Devildom gem infused with the suitor's blood). This is typically given near the end of the courtship, similar to a human engagement piece. Mated demons usually wear a set of matching bloodstone jewelry that symbolizes their successful courtship as well.
A Devildom dance between the suitor and their prospective mate(s). This may be replaced with another social/artistic gift such as a song, poem, or artwork.
A meal prepared by a suitor and shared with their prospective mate. Serving their intended inappropriate foods could be seen as a grave insult and put the courtship in jeopardy.
A bouquet of Devildom flowers that should compliment their mate(s), utilizing the language of demonic flowers and plants to their advantage. Similar to food offerings, poorly planned or researched flower gifts have the potential to cause offense.
Optional customs that are seen as antiquated and not part of standard courtship practice in modern times:
Obtaining a trophy from a rare/nightmarish Devildom beast, slain and/or harvested by their own hand.
Offering one or part of their horn(s) that can be worn as jewelry or make into an art piece. This is most common among Devildom royalty.
Outdated or outlawed practices:
Weapons or jewelry gathered from slain enemies in battle (presumed angels). The trade or sale of angelic heirlooms is still possible through the black market, but due to the lack of recent conflict with the Celestial Realm, these items have become scarce.
Procuring a soul stone, a magical trinket infused with part of a human soul. It is more beautiful than useful and is normally displayed in the home as a decorative accessory. Due to obvious reasons, hunting human souls specifically for this purpose is now forbidden.
BONDING
Even though romantic/sexual relationships are technically allowed in the Celestial Realm, there is no recognized process to enter a formal courtship or marriage the way demons or humans do. However, angels can become bond mates with other angels. This bond is usually created over time by angels that share an extremely close familial, platonic, or romantic connection. It is something forged from within, the result of reciprocal affection and genuine emotion. Many angels form bonds to each other and don't even realize it.
(Some angels are uncomfortable with the idea of bond mates or forming attachments that may rival their commitment to the Celestial Realm or Father. For the longest time, it was considered a taboo topic in polite conversation despite angels having very little control over the process once those feelings already exist for someone else.)
Angels that are bonded feel a natural pull to each other and are driven by instincts that may only resonate on a subconscious level. Similar to their Devildom counterparts, these instincts drive them to demonstrate their thoughtfulness and loyalty through various gifts or acts of service throughout their lives:
Eating meals together and cooking for each other.
Using their talents to make gifts: poems or artwork, flowers, music and dancing, or cooking/baking.
Creating matching (custom) jewelry or clothing that can be worn with their regular attire.
Sharing a bed or room, when most angels have their own living quarters and sleep alone.
Bonding tropes are commonly referenced in Celestial literature in lighthearted stories of love and friendship. In the human world, angels publishing their work changed the language slightly to fit human ideas of love and fantasy, adopting the term soulmates and similar clichés as part of their story-telling.
BOND SICKNESS
Another popular trope in Celestial literature, bond sickness is a fictional illness suffered by two or more angels whose subconscious connection has been damaged. The cause of this varies wildly from prolonged physical distance/forced separation to severe trauma or death.
The symptoms that manifest because of this ailment vary from mild to severe. Conflicting symptoms makes it even more challenging to identify whether bond sickness exists. In the most popular tragic stories and poems, some of the many side effects include:
Intense bouts of sadness or anger
Increased or decreased appetite
Insomnia or oversleeping
Physical weakness and fatigue
Mood swings, mental instability and psychosis
Violent tempers and increased aggression
Increased risk of corruption (by the demonic)
According to stories with bond sickness, there is no obvious cure or treatment; it is simply a matter of bearing the pain and hoping time helps heal those hidden wounds. In some stories, the bond is restored after a dramatic turn of events. Another classic twist in Celestial literature portrays one angel in a broken bond who eventually recovers while the other does not. Influence from the human world has led to writers in the Celestial Realm to use terms such as star-crossed lovers when publishing stories with this theme as many of them have tragic endings.
The complex soul magic of bonding is still somewhat controversial and its true impacts are unknown. Bond sickness is mostly disregarded as the stuff of fairy tales with little evidence that it truly exists at all.
Angels that have exhibited symptoms of undiagnosed bond sickness may include: Michael, Lucifer and his siblings, Simeon, Raphael, Belial, Azazel, Metatron and Habuhiah. Their symptoms were merely brushed off as grief/depression following a sudden, tragic loss, or the after-effects of being cast out of the Celestial Realm and becoming a demon.

intermission yandere!azul thought: azul thought he lost you when his parents divorced, but a chance reunion during breeding season convinces him of fate. a long-buried love resurfaces and with it the mounting greed and desire.
(cw: yandere, unhealthy behaviors/relationship, stepcest, nsfw, female reader, breeding/oviposition, gentle dub-con/coercion, obsession, one-sided attraction in which azul loves you, but you only see him as family, characters written as 18+)
When his birth parents first married, Azul's father had been caring for you, a daughter who had come from another set of parents, found drifting on a lone current. Aged two, you were the sweetest fry his mother had ever seen and she gladly welcomed you into her family. A year later, Azul had been born and you were introduced to him, the both of you coddled and adored by his grandmother and other relatives alike. Your eyes glittered with awe when you peered down at baby Azul, so fragile and small in his mother's arms. A tentacle gently curled around your finger, and he stared up at you, equally amazed, his blue eyes wide with wonder.
Technically, you were his step-sister and he was your step-brother. But at such a young age, you could only comprehend simple family dynamics—the ones in which siblings came from the same mother and were thus related by blood. So, even though you weren't truly related in that way, that's what you were to Azul. He was your little brother and you were his big sister. The distinction in what you were never mattered to Azul. You were his family, and that was more than enough.
Growing up, he clung to you like a barnacle, never wanting to leave your side for more than a minute, a tentacle forever wrapped around your wrist or tail fin. You were inseparable, choosing to rest in the same sleeping nook, bathe together, eat meals together, explore shipwrecks and collect treasure together, and play together. He adored you, looked up to you like you were a miracle incarnate. And in that same loving manner you looked out for Azul, protected him from mean mers, assured him that you'd never leave him when he got sad, and patched him up when his clumsiness earned him all sorts of boo-boos.
Azul thought you were an angel—or something constructed from perfection, anyway. You were brilliant and wonderful, the best big sister he could have ever wished for. Every day felt like the best day of his life when he was with you. Waking up beside you and challenging each other to a race to the kitchen (even though he knew fully well that he'd lose every time). Offering you the spoils from your shipwreck adventures, where he'd drape strands of pearls around your neck and you'd do the same, always one to share. Lounging sleepily at his grandmother's tentacles and listening to her regale the both of you with stories from when she was young. She told tales of her first love, and Azul had boldly pointed at you and declared he'd marry his first love. You. His sister. It was passable then because he was little and couldn't fully understand the meaning of marriage and what it meant to settle down with someone you loved.
Love comes in many forms, and Azul couldn't grasp the differences between platonic and romantic. But back then it didn't matter because to him love was love, and you promised you'd stay with him forever. That was good enough.
But then, years later, his parents got divorced. His father took you with him, and during the process his mother fell in love with her divorce attorney. Azul never saw you again. You moved away, or so he assumed when he'd search the neighborhood for you, deceiving himself that you were still here. You wouldn't leave him. You promised.
He searched all of the places the two of you used to frequent, gradually losing hope with each day. Eventually, when the acceptance letter had come and it became apparent that he had more pressing matters to focus on, he stopped searching altogether.
Azul's older now, freshly graduated and ready to take on the world, but before that he returns to the sea. There are celebrations he must attend; he's expressed his thanks to countless congratulations already, but he doesn't mind the excess. It feeds his ego. His family is so proud, but none can be prouder than his mother, who shackles him in a loving embrace, cooing about how she remembers when he was just a little fry. Though you haven't occupied his mind in years, at the mention of childhood, he instinctively looks for you amidst the many people crowding the restaurant. You're not there. He wishes you were.
There's a lot he has to do as he works to expand the Mostro Lounge. He's purchased a property on the surface. The building is old and dilapidated, but he has a promising vision and lots of time on his hands. He'll make it work. Summer break be damned; Azul's too busy for that. But he can't leave the ocean just yet. He'd put it off with potions for as long as he could, but nature prevails in the end.
Mating season, in Azul's hateful opinion, is a scam. Merfolk exhaust all of their efforts carrying clutches, nursing them for months, before relinquishing them to fate, where it's not guaranteed that any of their fry will survive the harshness of the sea. All of that hard work and for what? The slim chance that one or two will return. Azul knows there are ways to avoid tragedy. Like laying the eggs amidst sea anemones to ward off predators who may not be immune to the sting. Even so, he doesn't understand the appeal of this gamble. Most of all, he despises it because this very gamble is the reason why, without fail, he's forced to suffer through this miserable period of biological imperative.
He gets moody, viciously so, cherishing the shadowed, tranquil loneliness inside an octopus pot. Azul greatly dislikes mating seasons because it's uncomfortable to hold in a clutch for too long, and when he's cursed with one he has no other option but to spend hours curled in solitude, hot and flushed all over, while he squirms through the all-encompassing heat. It passes after he's released every egg, and he tries not to think of what could be if he had someone to take his clutch and care for them. Sometimes he destroys the eggs, crushes them so that, at the very least, they won't become a predator's dinner. It's mostly anger and selfishness that fuel the destruction. He'd never hurt his young, but they won't survive much longer, fated to die within the next few hours. There needs to be someone else. Pairs and whatnot. Mating and bonding and all of that nonsense he scowls at. He doesn't have anyone to complete his pair.
He surmises it will be the same next season. It always is.
Azul is always so sad in the aftermath, coming down from the high to meet encroaching depression. He's a businessman; he won't have time for a family. It's impossible to settle down at this stage in his life. It's too early. Things are just getting off the ground. He tells himself these things so he can focus, but it's so difficult. He wants a family of his own. He wants to know what it's like to be loved and mated. It's not fair that others around him, mers he went to middle school with, are starting families and finding their special someone. He deserves that happiness more than anyone.
Azul is selfish and greedy to a fault, but he's romantic at heart.
Like clockwork, he slinks off to rid himself of this annual burden. On the way to his usual spot, a scent hits him. It's faint at first, but the further he swims the thicker it gets, until it nearly leaves him disoriented with dizziness. He's too dazed with instinct to think about turning the other way, pulled towards the enticing pheromones like it's flashy bait on a fishing hook. It leads him to a deep crack set into the sea floor, too slim for a human to squeeze into. But he's an octopus and it's easy to contort his limbs to fit through. It opens up to a wider space, enclosed and dark, but he can sense another mer in here.
How can he not when your smell is so strong it practically sticks to the walls?
He lights the space with magic, a soft, yellowed glow that kisses your skin like a sweet sunrise. You're curled in on yourself, gripping your abdomen and whining in discomfort. He understands the cue immediately. Your body's ready to receive a clutch, and the emptiness pains you.
Azul has tact, or so he likes to think, and he keeps himself plastered to the far end of the little cave. You sense him then, smelling his own arousal and readiness. Weakly, you lift your head, peering at him through foggy, teary eyes. It's quiet; both of you stare at one another. Azul wonders if you'll reject him, fight him, bite a chunk out of him.
Instead, you force yourself up onto your arms and mutter, "'m sorry... I'll go somewhere else..."
"Ah, w-wait!" Clumsily, his tentacle flashes out, wraps around your tail fin, and holds tight.
You look at him, the haze in your eyes clearing, and you sniff the scent on the water, your brows furrowing. Your eyes slide to the tentacle, and suddenly recognition sparks in your gaze.
"Azul?"
He blinks, his own haze clearing. "Do I know..." He gasps, flinches away from you as if slapped. "(Name)? Is... Is it really you?" His mouth is agape, eyes blown wide. Before you can answer, he hastily adds, "W-Where have you been?! I thought you'd left! Is everything okay? What have you been doing all these years?"
You nod, but he's not sure which question that nod is meant to answer. "I..." You brace yourself against the wall and shudder. "We can catch up later. Right now really isn't..." His eyes trace down your body, stopping right at your slit, which is puffy and slick and not yet claimed. You also don't have a mate. Sensing his intentions, you turn away, shielding yourself. "Now's not a good time...for either of us."
Azul reclaims your tail fin, his grip gentle, coaxing. "It's fine. Please don't leave again... You're in no condition to swim elsewhere. Some brute might take advantage of you."
"But you...have to get rid of your clutch, don't you?"
Quiet descends upon the space. Azul doesn't speak; his scent says enough.
Your eyes widen with horror. "We can't, Azul."
"(Name)—"
"We're family," you whisper, shaking your head at him. "There's no way we can do something like that!"
"But we're not! Not anymore. Mom and Dad aren't together and we've never had a blood relation, so we can—"
You push his reaching tentacle away and grit your teeth. His scent is cloying, muddling the thoughts in your brain. "Still... We grew up together. You've always been my brother, so I can't go home with your clutch." You gasp when another appendage twines around your waist, drawing you closer to the floor. You glare weakly at him. "You're doing that on purpose, dummy..."
Azul flashes his teeth at you, smug. "I don't know what you're talking about, sister dearest."
"Stop. S'not funny..." He squeezes your hips, annoyingly playful, and your body arches itself into his touch. "Azul, please."
Azul creeps closer, his voice a tantalizing murmur. "I missed you so much. Do you know how lonely it was without you? You never visited or wrote. I sat alone at the head of the table every birthday and wished you were there by my side. You promised you'd never leave me and yet... And yet you broke it! You left and I never saw you again! I thought I'd lost you forever."
"You know that's not what happened. I couldn't stay because Dad wanted me to come with him."
"But I needed you more than Dad did!" he exclaims, features twisted with grief. Azul notices your subtle flinch and he swallows thickly, softens his intonation. "I... I needed you the most."
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." Your hands tremble against your nose, but it's futile. His scent surrounds you.
"Sorry isn't enough. You have to make it up to me. For every missed birthday. For every missed holiday. For every second I spent mourning you." Azul pins his body to yours, his tentacles wrapping around your arms to pull them down. He smiles lopsidedly, breathing you in like you're his lifeline. He reaches between you to press his fingers against your slit, and you mewl, squirming beneath him. He marvels at your mouth as it opens and closes, stuffed full with contradiction. "I know it's unbearable. It's unbearable for me, too, but I can help make it feel better for both of us."
"But—haa—your clutch... If you do it inside, I'll..."
His thumbs rub soothing circles into your hips, right at the borderline between scales and flesh. "You'll do fine," he promises. "Remember when you'd reassure me whenever I was scared? Now it's my turn to do that for you. So let me help you. You'll feel good soon."
"We shouldn't. What will..." You gasp and reach for his shoulders by pure impulse, overcome with a searing want now that he's so close. "What will Mom say? Won't she be upset?"
Azul hums his contemplation. Three fingers curl inside your slit, spreading it with ease. You cry out and sink your teeth into his shoulder, restlessly, painfully horny. He suspects you'd have more fight if you weren't already so deep into your heat. Maybe then your bite would have been far more agonizing.
"Then she'd better not find out." One tentacle pats your head. It's meant to be consoling. "For the record, I never saw you as my sister. I meant it when I said I'd marry you. You know that, right?"
You pull away, maw speckled with blue blood and eyes twinkling. He smiles again; you're cute when stained with his color. "Please, Zul..." You hold his face between your hands, yanking him down to your lips. His gills flutter with excitement. "Fingers aren't enough..."
"I know, love. I know."
So he kisses you.
It's heady and sloppy, more dizzying than a tempting bout of pheromones and the slick squelch of his fingers fucking you open. Azul loses himself in the sensations, massaging every inch of you with his tentacles while you throw your arms around him in return. You're coerced into acceptance in a way that's spellbinding, unable to slake the desire that burns within you. He's filled to the brim with euphoria. It's been so many years apart and now you're here with him, stuck in this cramped cave, the both of you ignorant to the hours passing above.
Azul pulls away first. Not for oxygen because neither of you need that, but rather so he can speak instead.
"Promise you won't leave me."
"I won't. I'm here to stay, so please, Azul. Please..." You dig your nails into his back, impatient. "I need you."
He flushes blue up to his ears. "A-And say you love me. More than a brother, okay?"
The tapered tip of a thicker, much larger tentacle presses shallowly into your slit. You moan your relief, rocking your hips in hopes of taking him deeper. Tears line your lashes.
"I love—mmh—love you more than—oh, please—than a brother! Zul, please, I can't take it anymore. Put it in. Please give it to me!"
Azul presses kisses all over your face, unable to stop his growing smile. "I will, angelfish. I won't keep you waiting any longer."
He pushes inside and your tight warmth swallows every inch. He drags you down onto the floor, endeavoring to fit himself to you in the closest way. You fuck like animals, noisy and wet and filthy, curled around one another like a perfect tangle of erotica. In the dimming glow of a fading spell, you capture one other's mouths at every interval, determined to savor every salacious sound. The knots in your stomach tighten and unfurl each time orgasm washes over you, and it's so blissfully mind-numbing that you forget why you were ever opposed to it in the first place.
When the first egg breaches your womb, you thrash and bite, tetchy and unsatisfied. He shushes you, cooing affectionately, petting your tummy and promising to fill it in due time. You try to snarl around another moan, but it comes out choked. He laughs, but it isn't meant to ridicule. And as promised, more eggs follow. Small, round, gelatinous things that they are, Azul knows they'll grow larger and you'll be a full house for the next few months until it comes time to lay.
He can't wait.
You ride out the rest of the eggs in pure ecstasy, so much so that it's a blur, harboring each in the crammed confines of your womb. By the time the final one has found its home inside, you and Azul are thoroughly exhausted and starved. He slips out slowly, draping a tentacle over your extended middle. They're glowing faintly, not nearly as bright to draw predators in, but once you're further into gestation you'll resemble the prettiest star.
"I'll get you something to eat," he says after a minute of untangling himself from you.
Your hand shoots out to seize the tentacle retreating from your rounded belly. "No, stay here."
"You should eat. It's been a while."
"'m not hungry..." As if to mock you, your stomach growls. You plead with your eyes, desperate. "I'll eat later. Please stay here with me. Please?"
Azul considers it, and ultimately he opts to stay. It's safer this way. He'll keep watch, and eventually the two of you will depart for home. Satisfied, you pull him back into the recesses of the little cave to cuddle up to him, your eyelids fluttering.
"Do you think any of them will survive?"
Azul turns to look at you. He remembers the way you used to snuggle with him when you were but little mers, giggling and gossiping over the silliest of things. He smiles fondly at the memory and the sight of you now, soft and gravid and glowing. And all his. Forever his.
"Of course they will."
It's an uncertainty, but he lives to beat the odds. It's in his nature to chase after and achieve the things he covets most. A family is no exception.
"Mm, I hope so," you mutter, trailing off into slumber.
"I'll make sure of it, my love."
In this dimly lit haven, it's just you and him, together as nature intended. He couldn't be more elated.

Hi! Can i request a yandere concept for Narinder with an Affectionate! Darling? Thank you <3
Sure! Like with the Narinder concept, there will be three ways for me to write this :)
TOWW/Narinder Concept
Yandere! TOWW/Narinder with Affectionate! Darling
(Short HCs Involving, Bishop, TOWW, and Follower! Narinder)
Pairing: Romantic/Platonic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Clingy behavior, Sadism, Possessive behavior, Stockholm syndrome implied in TOWW's section, Kidnapping, Isolation, Restraints (All in TOWW section), Soft yandere (Bishop and Follower form), Dubious companionship/relationship.
Bishop! Narinder
As a Bishop, Narinder is much kinder than his other counterparts.
This is before he betrayed his siblings, when he loved them dearly.
You were most likely a follower of Narinder.
You worshipped him for a good afterlife when you die.
This was something Narinder was willing to give to his favorite follower, you....
This Narinder is manipulative, but much more caring.
He's also still possessive like most of his other counterparts.
Having you be affectionate with him sends the Bishop of Death purring.
You're so much smaller than him yet obediently crawl into his arms to scratch at his fur and ears.
Your willingness to be affectionate with him only makes the Bishop more possessive.
The Bishop of Death seats you at his temple and demands you stay put.
If you die, then he still demands affection even in the afterlife.
Narinder will make you happy and your afterlife peaceful... as long as you focus your attention on only him.
The moment a follower/lost soul like like becomes affectionate... he expects it all the time.
Narinder would give you everything he can...
Just so he can have you and your attention all to himself.
The One Who Waits
This is the most sadistic version of Narinder.
He's cruel with you, his darling either being a failed vessel or lost soul in his domain.
He'd revive you to do his bidding, he'd keep you in chains as his little pet.
Safe to say TOWW is the most cruel and possessive form of Narinder.
Which is why it perplexes him when you show him affection.
You reciprocate his chats despite the chains wrapped around your body or the cage you sit in.
When TOWW sets you free to wander the afterlife, you come up to him to be held.
When his skeletal hands do pick you up, you pet the corrupted Bishop's fur.
Reluctantly the Bishop of Death finds himself purring at your touch... solidifying the fact you're his favorite.
He wonders why you're so willing to reciprocate... but he comes to the conclusion that he must've broken you.
Such a thought gives him praise.
That means your loyalty only belongs to him.
TOWW then begins to encourage your affectionate behavior.
He orders you to give him your affection.
When you do, the skeletal cat is reduced to a purring mess.
He'll hiss when you point this out, but doesn't want you to stop.
Since you're so willing to please him in such a way...
You better not do this with anyone else.
Follower! Narinder
As a follower, Narinder is reduced to listening to the very vessel he chose.
His obsession would be a fellow follower of The Lamb.
An interesting part of this is The Lamb acts like an enabler for Narinder when they notice the cat's obsession.
Narinder is often instructed by The Lamb to give you all sorts of gifts to try and court you.
He even asks The Lamb about a Marriage Ritual.
Narinder loves affection, even if he doesn't wish to admit it.
When his obsession suddenly start giving him affection... his purrs are quite loud.
He tries not to admit he adores it when you reciprocate.
Yet it's so easy to tell.
Even when he's so possessive nas overly jealous, he becomes a mess when you pet him and hold him.
Narinder would probably lay on top of you in your bed, purring away.
When you stop, he pokes you with his claws to make you continue.
Narinder expects you to only be affectionate with him.
If you are with anyone else, he begins to pick fights with other followers.
He may even ask The Lamb to sacrifice followers too close to you.
Narinder feels entitled to your affection...
It makes him feel alive... and he only wants it directed towards him.
#yandere cult of the lamb#yandere cotl#yandere narinder#yandere the one who waits#yandere toww#yandere bishop narinder#yandere follower narinder

Loving Arms
Summary: The children of Viserys I from his wife Alicent Hightower had always been lacking in affection from their parents. They simply didn't realize how much until their widowed aunt was brought into their lives. (AU where Alicent has an older sister and her kids get the love that they deserve, takes place some time after the Driftmark event)
Part I: An Important Guest
A/N: No pairings as of right now as I want to focus on the familial and platonic relationships with Greens when they're still quite young. This is possibly only the beginning (credit for the divider goes to @kawaii-lau)
126 AC
Some months after the funeral of the Lady Laena Velaryon, wife of the Rogue Prince Daemon Targaryen there was much clamor in the Red Keep. For the eldest daughter of Otto Hightower had been summoned to court after more than a decade away from the intrigue and politics that surrounded the throne and her family. Not much was known about the sister of the Queen apart from what had been known from her previous shorts visits in the early years of her sisters marriage and births of the younger royal children. The elder Hightower girl had been married two years prior to Alicent's own marriage to the King.
Hoping for a future alliance with the house of his eldest daughter's husband, Otto had the girl married to the younger brother of Qoren Martell who served as the reigning Prince of Dorne. But upon the death of his son by law, it was expected by the Hand of the King that his daughter would return to follow her filial duty of remarrying once more upon her return. Only... the man had not accounted for how his grandchildren would come to react to the arrival of their long unseen aunt.
--------
Aemond was positively annoyed with his older brother Aegon, "You could not think to ready yourself for our guests arrival ahead of time? Must you always make the lot of us appear inadequate because you choose to drink yourself into a stupor?"
Halaena, Aegon, and Aemond were specifically told to prepare for an important guests arrival but because of the elder amongst the three not being ready on time, it appeared that they would be late in their greetings. In his haste to reach the throne room faster, Aemond almost stumbled over his own feet and he cursed quietly to himself as he attempted to avoid tripping.
"Need help walking, do you Aemond?" Aegon giggled.
"I can walk just fine," Aemond mumbled. "I simply need a bit more time to recover my sense of balance on account of my... my eye."
The younger Targaryens response quieted his brother and the elder turned his attention to their sister.
"Were you told anything about who our important guest is meant to be?" Aegon asked. "One would think that if they were such an important person, we would all have to be alongside our mother and grandsire by the entrance."
Halaena shook her head, "I think we've met them before, but I cannot be certain if it's who I think it might be."
"Oh and pray tell, wise Halaena. Who could it be?" Aegon mocked.
"Didn't mother happen to receive a raven some weeks ago that our uncle the second prince of Dorne, the husband of our aunt had passed from the sweating sickness."
"Why on earth would that woman come?" the eldest asked, "I don't think she has come to visit King's Landing since the birth of our dear Aemond. Not that I could begrudge the woman, I heard that it was a miracle our grandsire married her to a Dornish prince since she apparently was deformed and all found her a lost cause."
"Perhaps if you listened when Mother informed you about who our guest would be, then we would all know, now wouldn't we?" Aemond huffed. "And don't speak of our aunt that way! Show some respect!"
"It doesn't matter, we will know soon enough if it truly is her or not, and it's not as if our aunt will ever know, I doubt it could be her" Aegon grumbled.
The doors to the throne room were opened upon their arrival and all but one turned to look at the trio that had come into the room quite late. The children could see the frown that their mother wore clear as day when she looked upon them, her disapproval apparent at their actions. While their grandsire had a near equal downturn of his lips but it was more in his eyes that one could see the disappointment at the trio.
"Ah, so good of my grandchildren to finally make their appearance!" said ser Otto. "We had all wondered when you might grace us with your presence!"
Aegon merely rolled his eyes at the words of his grandsire, while Aemond and Halaena looked down in embarrassment.
"Oh come now Father, I am sure that my nephews and niece meant no harm and tried to make haste. They couldn't have expected that I would be the one to arrive."
Three sets of eyes were quick to look over at the person who spoke.
They could only see her profile, but it was apparent that the person could be no other person than their elusive aunt. The eldest daughter to Otto Hightower and his wife Alyrie Florten, widow of Prince Doran of House Martell, the Lady (Y/N) Hightower.
She wasn't an imposing figure, in fact, compared to her father and younger sister. Their aunt was not much, but... that is actually something that they appreciated about the woman. All their lives, the siblings had such imposing men and women that surrounded them or directed them at all times, but not (Y/N). She stood out in a gentle way, a steadiness to her presence. Unlike the prim and elegant hairstyles of the court, it was loosened and decorated with a few blossoms. Her gown was a pale green and embroidered with the symbols of both her own house and that of her late husband, with towers and suns. But most of all, there was no dismay in her gaze as she looked at them from the corner of her eye, rather she smiled affectionately and warmly.
"Come children," Alicent guided them closer. "Come and greet your aunt." And in a harsh whisper to Aegon said, "And don't even think about commenting on her appeareance!"
When their aunt fully turned to them, all held back a gasp when they saw her full countenance. A glassy grey eye stood out on the left hand side of her face that had obviously been burned. Carefully she stepped toward them and the three were ushered forward until they stood only a step away from her.
Unwaveringly she smiled at the trio and approached Aegon first, "You have grown much in the time since I last saw you."
Hesitantly, she reached to cup his face in her hand and the boy flinched, this stopped her movements and made her smile drop slightly. Carefully she waved her hand and asked, "May I?"
Tentatively, Aegon nodded and allowed his aunt to softly cradle his face in her hands. Her one good eye flickered across his face and she smiled at him once more, "Such a handsome young man. Must be the Hightower in you, because you and I seem to share the good looks."
His aunt's comment seemed to release the breath that the group was holding, because Aegon, Halaena, and Aemond couldn't help but giggle. A soft warmth settling in their bodies as they attempted to stifle their uncontrollable laughs.
Alicent saw their laughter as rude and intended on scolding them, but a raised hand from her sister was enough to have her hold her tongue.
Stepping away from her elder nephew, (Y/N) noticed how Halaena's gaze shifted away from her own and understood. She simply curtsied to the girl, "I look forward to getting know you more Halaena and perhaps you could show me your things of interest."
Halaena timidly smiled and curtsied in return, "I like all sorts of insects."
"I am sure you do, sweet girl."
And lastly, her gaze turned to her younger nephew that was shuffling nervously where he stood.
Quietly he asked, "Does it still hurt you?"
Her smile never wavered as she answered, "Thank you for your kind consideration, nephew. Sometimes, it does ache but I am fine now."
A gentle calm settled amongst them, but it was disturbed when ser Otto cleared his throat. "Come, dinner has been prepared and we have dallied long enough. I am sure you have needed a hearty meal."
"Of course, Father" (Y/N) agreed. "I am sure we can continue with pleasantries over a delicious meal."
The Hand of the King, carefully led his daughters out the room and so everyone else took this as a sign to clear the area. But the siblings stayed behind, a clear look between them that there were things they would need to talk about.

Do you mean Katniss Everdeen?
The original tag was @susandsnell’s but I assumed it was about Katniss Everdeen.
At least personally, I don’t think her getting guilt tripped into marrying Peeta and having children with him is a fulfilling ending for her whatsoever. I guess unpopular opinion, but her feelings for him always read to me as more platonic and that the romantic angle was more being forced on her. And she literally starts out the series explicitly stating that she never wants children!
I understand the thematic thing Collins was trying to do, where by suggesting that Katniss feels safe enough to have children, it illustrates that the games are like well and truly over and they live in a society that’s safe for children now. But I don’t care lmao I don’t think the protagonist’s wants and desires need to be crushed in order to make that theme happen. In the first book we also see how resentful Katniss feels about being forced into the role of a caregiver, and just, nothing about her suggests that, after All That Trauma, she’s somehow going to be more amenable?
If Collins really needed to make that point end it with her be a fucking school teacher idk. Or give one of her few still living friends a kid and note that she’s feeling optimistic about it. The entire nuclear family set up just felt truly gross and forced on her to me— and the emphasis on how traumatized she still is just read to me like she’s all around unhappy with her life. Like obviously trauma does not magically go away but it truly felt like the book was sacrificing all chances of personal happiness for Katniss to make that ending happen.
And even then, if the execution was good, if it was completely believable that that is what happiness looks like for her by the end of the story, I still dislike it narratively. Why must marriage and a baby be the only way the story telegraphs success and happiness for its female protagonist?
If the main point is about the future of the children of Panem, Katniss is herself a child, the epilogue’s timeskip notwithstanding. Why isn’t it enough to focus on her security and future without making her a mother?
The white picket fence ending feels like an especially bizarre choice to me next to the way the series also presents Snow trying to force an idyllic narrative on her for the Capitol audience. Like consider the framing of the showy wedding dress and fake wedding planning, Peeta claiming that she’s pregnant to try to garner more audience and therefore donor sympathy, or even the propaganda video they try to film in the third book where they try to make her look glamorous and it entirely falls flat, and they end up doing a candid video instead. The narrative keeps making a point of how Katniss is idealized and romanticized in this very traditionally feminine way and how alien that feels to her. And then… the series ends with her framed in the exact same way?
But then, that’s always been my main problem with the Hunger Games in the first place. It’s far too enamored with the pageantry it’s also trying to critique, and it ends up undercutting its own purpose. So yeah, I guess, it isn’t surprising that the toothless series has a toothless ending but shfhff doesn’t mean I have to like it!

First Vees Event Hub Event!
This will hopefully become an active and thriving place for some Vees and Staticmoth events!
The blog itself currently looks like someone with no sense of visual art is heading it, because that's true, but work has gone into the most important part! Which is our first event:
VVinter Vees (and Staticmoth Xmas)!
People who only want to write about the Vees or only want to write Staticmoth are both welcome in this event. I had very few people say they were interested, but it was still an equal amount of Vees to Staticmoth enjoyers.
Please keep an eye on this blog for the prompts! The event might take place in December, but it's a whole month affair and I wanted everyone to have enough time to do whatever they wanted for the event.
v^√√v^──√v^√v^──√v^√√v^── v^√√v^──√v^√v^──√v^√√v^──
Rules
You can create anything you want for this month! Fanfic, fanart, fanvids, gifs, music, whatever!
The only limitation is no AI-generated content.
All three Vees do not have to be in every story. You can write about one, two, or all three. As long as the focus is on any of them, it counts.
Post it anywhere, but I can only reblog on Tumblr. There is an AO3 Collection as well which will not be forgotten about.
When posting on Tumblr, you can @ the blog to be reblogged! If you tag with #vvintervees2024 or #staticmothxmas2024 (and the day's tag, like #vvintervees2024 day 1) that would be great too.
You don't have to post on the day. Or even during the month! Any time you create for this challenge is fantastic.
This is an 18+ event! You can create nice fluff or hardcore porn. I'm not your dad.
Remember to add any necessary warnings.
Speaking of which, no one in this event is allowed to judge others for what they create. If you disagree with a headcanon or content of a creation, you can keep it to yourself. There's a back button if you don't want to see it.
v^√√v^──√v^√v^──√v^√√v^── v^√√v^──√v^√v^──√v^√√v^──

REVISITED LESBIAN MASTERDOC
I wanna share with y'all my version of the lesbian masterdoc. we know the og is a bit problematic, but it helped me sm, so I revisited it. if you don't have a lot of points you aren't necessarily a lesbian. notice that a lot of points also have cons (maybe you're bi and you prefer women, you have orientation OCD, you're aroace, that's your taste in men, you are emotionally unavailable, etc). so here we go...
you believe women are objectively pretty and men are objectively ugly
you believe love is just friendship with kisses
you see having sex with men as a burden
if you're a virgin, you wanna have your first time with a man in a long time
using religion as an excuse (subconsciously) to have sex after marriage
in your sexual fantasies the man is not very detailed/the more there are details the more you're bored or disinterested/you're the observer of the scene and you focus on the woman
you constantly doubt you're into men, but you don't do that with women
you find interesting men that you can't have (taken/married men, gay men, aroace men, fictional men, celebrities, much older men, men who clearly don't give a shit about you)
you prefer having long-distance relationships with men
in series and movies you focus on female characters and don't care about the male ones
having sex with men as a form of self-harm subconsciously
you prefer feminine men
when you think you have a crush on a guy, your fantasies are never actually romantic (ex. you imagine yourselves simply hanging out and enjoying each other's company, with no kisses or stuff like that)
you think you're not attracted to men cuz you still have to find the one
you have very high standards with men, but not with women
you run away as soon as the boy likes you back
finding absurd other girls lose their minds over men
not getting what's so special about certain men (ex. Leonardo DiCaprio)
you have never noticed him, but when other girls start to like him you start to crush on him, too
crushing on the guy that is liked by the girl you're super close with
believing that being attracted to men means simply finding them "nice"
choosing a boy as a crush just because someone asked you if you liked somebody or they pressured you
wishing you were a lesbian
believing you can't be a lesbian because you would've already known
believing you gotta have sex with your man just to show him you care for him, not because you enjoy it
basing your attraction for men on their personality only
finding boring future with a man
being scared of being a lesbian and asking yourself if you're one at the same time
having an intense friendship with a woman, especially if she's sapphic
always imagining yourself with a man in the future, knowing you'd rather be with a woman
thinking you'd be 100% with a woman in a world with no homophobia
changing a lot of labels, but never considering the lesbian one. you'd rather go directly for aroace
believing you're into men, but you don't care about making male friends or you have never found them interesting, not even in a platonic way
when a straight fantasy isn't making you horny, you change the story many and many times to try to turn you on on purpose to prove your heterosexuality/bisexuality
you go out with any man that likes you
you want men to want you, but when it works it makes you feel uncomfortable
getting into a straight relationship just for material convenience or to feel cool or not to let the world think you could be sapphic
wishing your boyfriend wasn't that into romantic stuff and sex
you get over men very fast
wishing for a relationship, not really for a boyfriend
wanting sex with men for validation
you need to be drunk or high to have hetero sex
wanting straight sex only if you're subdued
wanting to kiss a girl friend "to know how to kiss boys"
touching a girl by mistake and feeling weird after it (it could be simply an arm touch)
feeling awkward in a changing room
"if she were a boy, I'd be with her"/"if I were a boy, I'd be with her"
"if I were him, I'd never treat her like that"
being obsessed with queer culture as an "ally"
"everyone is a little bit gay"
everyone thinks you are
wanting to kiss a female friend as a sign of "big friendship"
some girls kiss each other to turn men on, so you take subconsciously this opportunity to kiss one because you actually desire to
kissing girls when you're drunk/high
you constantly find ways not to believe you're a lesbian
you find more sensible gay men's attraction than straight girl's attraction to men
not having "enough time for men and relationships"
if your friend uses other pronouns too, you use them a lot, more than the feminine ones to subconsciously bypass your attraction
treating bad out of nowhere the girl you were so attached to
every time you find a man funny you automatically think you're into him
you try to like men to feel more feminine (for trans girls)
joking many times about not being attracted to men or their genitals
btw if you're sure you don't like men in a sexual way, but you still don't know if you like them emotionally I recommend to research on limerence. that's how I realised I was a lesbian<3
I hope all of this helps you girlies. you're always valid♡
