Their S/O Gets Reincarnated As An Angel

Type of Writing: Request Characters: Loki, Thor, and Poseidon Name: Their S/O Gets Reincarnated As An Angel Requester: @nunezs-stuff

A/N: I read about an angel’s wing color, so to sum up the Reader’s different ones; Pink - Chamuel (Angel of peaceful relationships), Purple - Zadkiel (Angel of mercy), and Green - Raphael (Angel of healing)

🐍 Loki hailed himself as a God who did not enjoy humans being around at all. Whether it be male, female, even a child, if they were human, Loki did not like being around them, for what reason? I have no clue

🐍 Probably just Odin rubbing off on him

🐍 But, when Thor came home one day with a duo of supposed humans, Loki gained interest in the shorter one, that shorter one being you!

🐍 He had begun to hang around you all of the time. From annoying you as you worked on stuff to just laying out small pranks on you whenever he wanted. He basically was hanging off of you like you were the bamboo to his koala

🐍 Once you both started your relationship, Loki had gained quite a bit more of an interest in you. So like, what your hobbies were, what your previous life on Earth was, etc.

🐍 Because of how much time the God of Mischief began to spend with you, he started to become very clingy and attached to you

🐍 So, it broke his heart into smithereens when it was announced that the traitor of the Greek Pantheon and the third-born of the four Olympian Brothers, Adamas, had attempted to ally the Goddess you were visiting; Aphrodite, in his endeavor

🐍 And, due to her attempting to pry more information of his reasoning for this battle out of him, he had thrown a spear in a random direction, and unfortunately, you were in that direction. Once the blade had pierced through your body, you had died, causing Aphrodite to attack Adamas herself in a fit of rage

🐍 Loki had an old scarf that you gave him on your first date in the winter, and he never let go of the long fabric ever since that fateful day

🐍 As he walked around the old garden that the Norse Pantheon had in their domain, he had gotten the message from Huginn and Mininn that there was an angel coming in for a meeting with Odin and the main Gods of the Pantheon, meaning Loki had to be there

🐍 Despite his sour mood, Loki gripped the green and purple fabric closely as he bee-lined for his uncle’s estate. And, once he met the room and walked inside, he had seen his cousin, Thor, patting the head of the supposed angel as Odin smiled, he was genuinely smiling!

🐍 Loki stood there as the angel turned around, their large pink wings flowing behind them as their tiny white halo glowed in the sunlight, and once their eyes met his, Loki dropped the scarf and ran towards them, wrapping his arms around their form, encasing them in a tear-jerking hug

" Holy shit… " " Hello Loki. "

🌩️ Thor was beyond depressed, he didn’t even train for weeks after hearing the news of your passing

🌩️ You and him were very close. He had met you as he took a small stroll around the human realm, since he just needed some space from his cousin, Loki’s, antics

🌩️ He had been sitting beside a small pond in the middle of the woods as he heard a voice ask him if he was alright, making him turn around and nearly pull out his hammer to attack

🌩️ Once his eyes met yours, his heart skipped a beat; you had the most beautiful eyes, eyes that could, in his perspective, compare to those of the Deities of Beauty or Purity

🌩️ Thor began to travel down to the same pond to meet you, and eventually during your second month of knowing one another, he asked if he could court you, which led to dating, then marriage, and then you and him starting your real lives together

🌩️ Nothing was going to stop him from having a happy life with you, but, unfortunately, life had another idea for him

🌩️ The God of Thunder had heard the news from a distraught Loki, who had been a witness to your demise. He claimed that a minor God from the Pantheon had gotten angry with the fact that you, a human, was married to Thor, so, in the fit of rage, they had wrapped you in vines and squashed you to death as their poison flowed through your system, much to Loki’s horror who found your body just minutes later

🌩️ Thor had ordered for the guilty to be brought before him, and once they were, he hadn’t given them a fast death, he let them suffer at the hands of multiple Gods, Odin, Loki, Poseidon, Hades (whom the previous two you had grown close to), and him of course

🌩️ While many tried to woo him in the same way that you had, nobody had come close in his eyes at your place. You were his one and only spouse, nobody could ever come close to you

🌩️ Now, it was the marking of the day of your anniversary of your first meeting, and every year, Thor would go down to the forest to the pond that he had his fellow Deities keep in tip-top shape, and this year was pretty much the same

🌩️ But, seeing someone sit there, nonetheless an angel sitting there with their purple wings holding out and their bright halo holding above their head, its glow getting brighter as the God of Thunder neared you

🌩️ And, despite the stoicness staying strong on his face, his eyes lit up in joy

" It is lovely seeing you here again, Y/N. " " You as well, my dearest. "

🔱 Much like Loki, Poseidon prided himself on his superiority against both humans and Deities alike

🔱 Poseidon loved to watch others tremble in fear at his mere presence, it showed how perfect he was compared to those ‘disfigured’ beings that laid underneath his feet dipped in scum

🔱 But, when his oldest brother Hades had brought a human soul to a meeting with the claim that they had a soul purpose of helping them out with their duties, he gained interest in you, that poor soul

🔱 Unlike Adamas and Zeus, he did not attempt to either seduce you to do things with him against marriage or threaten you into doing things for you, Poseidon just asked you and you did it. Due to these actions, you gained a mutual ‘respect’ for one another

🔱 This fake respect eventually developed into true respect, then a shared romantic interest before becoming a real connection of two souls wrapping around one another

🔱 Once he asked you to become his for the rest of your shared lives, he began to really show himself to you, no strings attached. Well, he did make sure you didn’t tell anyone how soft he was with you, but you get the point

🔱 Poseidon was shocked to watch Proteus run inside, slamming the doors open of his office where he and Hades sat down discussing matters. The first thing the two brothers noticed was the major amount of bloods on his hands, causing his heart to stop momentarily

🔱 Hades looked at his brother and nodded, which sent the God of the Seas running after the God of Rivers who was leading the way towards the edge of the sea’s boundary, at the land where the Greek’s led their lands to another Pantheon

🔱 The two brothers stopped once the bloody sight of one of your oldest friends, Apollo, holding you as blood covered his hands, sending waves of thoughts through your lover’s mind, the main one being; what in the name of Valhalla happened to you?

🔱 That sight was one that Poseidon never forgot, every time he saw blood, he would think of your form in Apollo’s arms on the ground

🔱 Ever since that day, Poseidon never left his castle unless it was necessary, preferring to spend his time looking at papers he needed done or look at old photographs you had wrapped up in a book. These photos had you, him, friends, family members, and allies during meetings and whatnot

🔱 A few years later, Zeus had requested Poseidon to attend a meeting with him and some of the other Gods, and, due to it being mandatory in Hades’ words, he had headed towards his younger brother’s home

🔱 Gripping his trident, Poseidon opened the doors and looked inside to find an angel sitting on his seat’s arm, much to his annoyance, since angels were ranked below the Gods

" Holy being, step aside. " " I’m surprised you're being so cold to someone you once cared for, Poseidon. "

🔱 His ocean-colored eyes widened once he saw the angel unwrap their green wings from their body, allowing their water-looking halo to drip down into small droplets of rain as Poseidon lightly sank

" Y/N? " " Hello, my love. "

♡ Raphael Book AU Expanded ♡

(Raphael's one really didn't have much elaboration about readers personality or what character they would be in the book so I made it up on the spot.)

Since the day you had been reborn into the kingdom you had been frothing at the mouth, waiting for your chance to encounter your favorite character. You see you were obsessed with a mystery novel in your past life, five nobles from a countryside town had gone to the capital for debut season a few years prior to the story's plot and the main character had come to investigate where they'd gone secretly, one of whom was her cousin, you. You didn't care about the main character, she wasn't important in your opinion since she was only asking questions, it was a side character you particularly liked who made big moves behind the scenes that drove the plot forward. Seemingly behind the missing people though it was revealed at the end she had only made one of the people disappear, someone who had overstepped their bounds in court and so she'd been ordered to remove them behind the scenes. It turned out the other two simply decided to run away together unrelated. Still there had been a lot of questions left unanswered about your favorite character at the end, they clearly had a secret beyond just that and while you'd tried to find answers online you never really could figure out the deal behind her which was why it was so great you had been brought here so you could observe her and maybe figure it out on your own. Beyond that you were a bit curious about the person she'd disposed of since she didn't give too much detail into that and you also had to wonder what was it about the other girl that was so great that the character you were now had run off with them. You personally would have rather just stayed at court, it seemed fun especially with your fave. Knowing that one day you would be going to the capital she strived to be the kind of noblewoman who could stalk people unnoticed, you'd done it for years just as practice since you knew you'd be trailing people a lot once you were in the capital. Honestly you weren't very good at it but with how you acted in public people usually were not offput with it, writing you off as harmless which wasn't the result you wanted but hopefully it would work with your favorite character too.

It was worth all the practice though honestly the moment you arrived at court. Seeing your favorite character there, Raphael, the royal advisor who worked directly for the crown princess and she was so easy to trail! It was worth every second of sweat and frustration just to see your fave and her day to day life. You were… well the other characters were somewhat interesting and even though you knew you should have spent more time learning about them since they were vanish quicker, it was hard to pull your eyes away from your main target. You would have even snuck into council meetings just to hear her talk up close, you were too nervous to speak to her at balls even when she did attempt to approach you so you wished you could hear her when she wasn't aware you were listening. You'd even snuck into her room at times which was a real challenge considering she was at the top of the royal council so there were likely classified documents in there, not that you were after those, it didn't even cross your mind to read them when you were far more interested in looking through her keepsakes and clothes to see what else you could learn about her from those things. The only thing you couldn't get open was a lockbox that you promised yourself you would return to one day to be able to see what was inside. You didn't want to risk breaking it though so you'd need to find the key, something you assumed would be an easy task with how you had been trailing you without her notice for months.

You were her beautiful perfect sunflower. She could hardly stop herself from crying whenever she felt you following her because it was hard to imagine her sunflower liked her so much. It was agony on days when you weren't following her, when she would leave council meetings and witness you following someone else, someone unworthy of her sunflower. And even more frustratingly her sunflower was too shy, running away at balls when she just wanted to take you into her arms and stop you from following those awful people. She started to resort to cheap tactics just so she could ensure your attention would be on her more, leaving her room unlocked, though locking the box filled with your items just so she'd know you'd go there during the council meeting instead of following those pests. She'd been extremely satisfied when she smelled you'd been there later. Sabotaging anything the others you followed did so they'd be less intriguing to follow. She even considering installing somewhere in the council meetings you could hide in so she could be close to you though she didn't want to risk anyone else stumbling into you hiding there or worse, somewhere hiding in the place she'd made specifically for you! She didn't want to help or serve anyone but you so someone else benefitting from something she'd made for you was a sickening thought. In the end she didn't go through with that plan. She did realize she had to do something even more interesting just to keep you attention. The plan was in motion after that.

She'd allow you to find out her secret, it ought to keep you more entertained than those losers plus she could remove one of her biggest competitors for her sunflowers attention at the same time. She wasn't usually a sloppy hunter, no one ever knew she was trailing someone before but she had to slow down a bit just so you'd be able to follow her and find out her secret. Of course her sunflower followed though, you saw her out in the halls of the palace late at night and instantly started to follow. She was happy her sunflower was this curious about her. Even more curious when you saw her enter a part of the halls you never saw her go to, she could hear you take a deep breath in anticipation waiting to see why she was here. Of course she couldn't disappoint her sunflower, she'd need to make this bloody just to impress you even more. She even left the room temporarily pretending she needed to grab something for the meeting so you could go wait inside the 'meeting room' in a closet to get a closer look. You took that chance happily which made her smile, also holding back tears from how lovely her sunflower was. When she left the room she had of course gone to fetch her biggest competition, she had to get rid of them in front of you. It was a show of devotion in her eyes. Of course she ripped their neck out as she was feeding, only pausing when she heard a small gasp from you to see if she had scared her sunflower too much with the display. She was only trying to keep your attention. She wondered if she'd gone too far but before he could do anything about it you tumbled out of the closet you were in, tears forming in her eyes at what you could possibly say.

"Wait! I love you! Sorry I was following you! I just love you!" You blurted out the first thing that came to mind honestly, you didn't really feel love for her, sure she was still your favorite character ever but it wasn't love you felt towards her. You said it anyways though just to try to stop yourself from dying since you knew she was a vampire now. You were shaking as you refused to open your eyes, not wanting to see anything as you died but then you heard sobbing, you thought maybe from her target but when you finally opened your eyes you saw it was Raphael herself babbling about something you couldn't hear super well. You never remembered her crying once in the novel, she came off as someone with closed off emotions so it was a bit bizarre to see this stoic seeming character now crying. You couldn't figure out why she was crying, she could just kill you if it was because she didn't want her secret exposed. Eventually she pulled herself together and pulled a ring out of her coat pocket, you hadn't seen that when you'd searched her room so she must have always carried it around.

"Oh my beloved sunflower! I love you too, let's get married!" Tears flowed from her eyes as you were left processing what the fuck was going on, this was not at all how you imagined your favorite character acting. It was extremely off putting. Worst of all you never even got to find out what the other characters were hiding since you'd spent too much time tracking this one instead. Reality was much lamer than your expectations.

[arach-tinilith]

fashionably late but for as many of your ocs as you want: 1, 5, 10, 11, 17, 19, 20, 26, 30, 40, 42, 43, 56, 61, 69, 72, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 104, 105

1.What is their backstory and why did you choose it?

Noble! She's First Priestess of house Duskryn so it made sense. I really liked the idea of playing a disgraced noble and especially from the drow perspective 

5. Does your Tav have any family members and are they close?

She has her mother Prae'anelle Duskryn, (pleaseee don't ask me her birth father i am NOT SURE) she has an older brother, Arzeni and like a lot of cousins lol. Her family framed her for the death of her consort and want her DEAD they're uhm not close

10. What was your Tav like as a child?

Naadja was the model drow citizen as a child. So she was a conniving little shit. She'd spread rumours, steal from nobles who were visiting her home, she'd purposely hurt herself then blame it on her brother so he'd get punished. Mummy's little princess.

11. What goes through your Tavs head when they wake up on the Nautiloid? Are they scared?

She's honestly in so much shock she can't really do anything but move forward. Oh, a Gith? Alrighty then guess that's fine. Pod that turns people into tentacle monsters instantly? Neat. 

17. Does your Tavs starting armour reflect them? If not, what would they wear instead

NO she's coming from the Aevendrow so she'd have a wool cloak probably lined with fur and I wanna think it has arm sleeves so she's free to cast or draw her sword LIKE THIS

19. What's your Tavs personality like at the start of the game? Does it change towards the end?

She's suuuuper paranoid, also conflicted. She hides her nobility from the group because she's honestly ashamed of it. But she feels an injustice has been done to her so she wants vindication in the form of blood and she isn't really sure if these people will understand 

20. Finally, what does your Tav feel as the Nautiloid crashes? Are they scared? Are they trying to survive?

A bit of acceptance honestly. Like she almost thinks she deserves death…. And then she lives 😈

26. What does your Tav think of Raphael?

Cannot trust a WORD outta this guy's mouth. (She has a fetish for infernal beings btw noooo comment)

30. Who does your Tav think of when they go to sleep at the Tiefling party? Or do they get lucky and get to spend the night with the person they want?

She's spent like, a good couple decades punishing herself for her past. She's just trying to have a fun time. Astarion promises her FUN … it was super awkward 

40. Did your Tav agree to kill the guardian or did they go talk to them instead?

They talk! She doesn't do shit for goddesses 

42. How does your Tav react to the shadow curse? Are they scared of the dark?

It's super uncomfortable for her. She's not scared of the dark it just makes her feel ill in the cursed lands

43. What does your tav think of Jaheira and the Harpers?

She was unimpressed at first but after talking to Jaheira she lovedddd her

56. What did your Tav think of the mindflayer colony?

Yeah that was the turning point for her really. Up until then it was just about removing the tadpole but this is when she started realizing she had serious responsibilities. (Also when she saw what was done to Minthara…)

61. How does your Tav feel about Baldur's Gate? Is it their home? Is it their first time in the city?

She hates it to be honest. The people are so loud and obnoxious, the weather is horrible. Its her first time there she does NOT get the hype

69. Does your Tav run into Orin? If so, what's their first opinion?

She fell for the love test trick. She was pretty intimidated ngl immediately got paranoid and started asking around camp

72. How does your Tav enter the city?

She uhhh killed all the deep gnomes. So she had to sneak around the side hehe

87. Did your Tav side with Gortash or did they agree to kill him for Orin?

She did the alliance up until letting Karlach rip him to shreds. She was not sharing the city with that guy lol

88. Did your Tav successfully resist the netherbrain?

NOPE i got tired of savescumming

89. Did your Tav side with the Emperor or do they free Orpheus? Do they become Illithid or does one of their companions do it? Do they give the nether stones to the Emperor/Orpheus?

ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE EMPEROR she freed Orpheus (mainly because there's no WAY we got that hammer for nuthin) and Orpheus used the netherstones teehee

90. Do they betray the Emperor/Orpheus/their companion to become the Absolute?

Nope! She's got bigger plans😏

91. Does your Tav get a happily ever after?

Kinda! She's doing what she wanted. It's maybe not the “nice” ended but its my favourite ending

92. Where does your Tav end up after defeating/siding with the Netherbrain?

In the Underdark! And I have lore about this of course😭

93. What do you think happens to the party afterwards? Do they go for drinks? Part ways

I HOPE a bath tbh but drinks is nice too

94. Years after the game, what do you think your Tav is up to?

Probably waging war against the noble houses of the Underdark with Minthara, Zafyna, and Astarion (and the spawn army) :3

95. What do you think of your Tavs development throughout the game? If you compared them to the start, what would be different?

A LOT more confident, less deceptive as a defense mechanism. I think she realizes how capable she actually is, and stops needing reassurance 

104. Who did your Tav romance? How did this romance develop throughout the game? What happened at the end?

She romanced Astarion lol she really did not trust him at ALL but the more he enabled her to be like, herself the more comfortable she was. Also in my awesome mind palace (bc i didn't have poly mod) she romanced Minthara later game. Which, the Minthaadja romance goes insane to me but i could go on about that😭

105. Anything you want to say about your Tav! Give a random headcanon, answer a random question, say whatever you want!

Okay my girl suuuuucks at basic life skills 😭 she's used to being doted on ngl she can burn water and has like poor hygiene because she always had handmaidens. No fault of her own! But like eventually the team catches on bc she's….stinky…. and offers to teach her and she's like “ugh fine😒😒😒 i guess I'll do it the surface way” LIKE NICE SAVE 👍

Haarlep is an anagram for Raphael

A little drabble for Fic Feb! Prompt: Meeting a favorite NPC. Technically SFW, but rated M because, well, it's Haarlep.

*********

Lia blinked. Then blinked again. The image in front of her did not vanish.

There, lounging on a luxurious bed, clad only in a leather harness burned with glowing red runes, was Raphael. Not in the human form he’d used to speak with them so far, but in his true cambion form, all red skin and impressive horns and wide leathery wings.

Raphael’s mouth curved as he took her in. Oddly, there seemed to be no spark of recognition in his eyes; no anger, either. He seemed more amused than anything else. “A lost little mouse is running through the house,” he purred, arching an eyebrow.

Lia wanted to scream for the others. She wanted to run, or vanish, or somehow go back and decide not to go through Helsik’s portal after all. Raphael had played the charming rogue the entire time they’d known him, had offered friendship and power and help with the tadpole in that silken voice of his. She’d gathered that the others found him amusing. But Lia knew better than anyone how charm could be used to conceal deadly intentions—and her heritage had taught her that any son of Mephistopheles would have power and cruelty to spare.

In short, Raphael scared her. Now she was alone with him, after breaking into his house, and he was looking right at her, and there was nowhere to hide. 

And some bizarre part of her mind couldn’t stop wondering what in the hells was up with that outfit.

“A thief in the night, greedy and here to take.” Raphael’s eyes swept Lia’s form hungrily. He stood from the bed and began to cross the room, taking step after step until he was looming over her, close enough to touch her if he wished. 

Lia held her ground. She wasn’t sure if that was the right call, but damn it all, she was trying to be brave right now. 

He looked down at her and smiled that terrifyingly amused smile again. “Why are you here, little thief?”

“Oh, y-you know. We just couldn’t stand things in the city without your company, Raphael,” she managed, with only a little quiver in her voice.

The figure chuckled. “Raphael? No. You will have a far crueler master than Raphael, soon.” Lia’s heart beat faster and a pleasant heat flushed her face as he stroked the tip of one claw down her cheek. With a start, she realized what he must be.

Not Raphael. An incubus. What is he doing here?

They, not he, her brain corrected helpfully. Incubi have no fixed gender.

“Tell me. What inspired you to pay him a visit?” the incubus purred, the point of their claw coming to rest just beneath Lia’s chin.

Lia fumbled for a convincing lie. Fortunately, another voice behind her saved her the trouble.

“Oh gods. What the fuck have I stumbled into?”

Relief flooded Lia as she heard Karlach behind her. Other footsteps followed, familiar and welcome ones, and so Lia took a step back, drawing closer to her friends. She crossed her arms and stood up straight, trying to look like a powerful magic-user with even more powerful allies at her back. Not a terrified tiefling lost in the home of her much scarier cousin.

“An incubus’s bedroom, I believe,” she said, trying to sound calm.

“I am, in fact, Raphael’s personal incubus,” the fiend corrected proudly. They returned to the bed and lounged against the pillows, displaying themselves artfully against the headboard, all skimpy clothing and taunt muscle. They gestured up and down their body. “Glamoured and transfigured to look like him.”

Lia couldn’t help but pull a face at that. An incubus could have granted Raphael any fantasy he wanted; apparently, the cambion’s fantasy was himself. It was a revealing insight into Raphael, but one Lia really could have lived without.

“I am Haarlep,” the incubus continued, their eyes still on Lia. Even though she still wore the beggar’s garb she’d donned to blend in, she felt almost bare in front of them, as if they could see every ridge and curve of her body underneath her rags. “You’ll be crying my name soon, so it’s fitting that you know it.”

Behind her, Lia heard Astarion draw in an angry hiss of breath.

“Why don’t we play a game?” the incubus continued, their smile hungry. “If you win, I give you everything you desire.” 

“What kind of game?” Lia asked warily.

“It’s a surprise,” Haarlep replied, chuckling. “You’ll like it, I promise.”

She felt her eyes narrow. “What happens if I lose?”

“Oh, don’t worry. You’ll enjoy yourself even more if you lose.” The incubus’s smile was pure predator, a wolf looking at a frightened rabbit.  “Now then. Off with your clothes.”

Lia blinked. Gods, did they think she was stupid? There was no way to win a clothes-off kind of game against an incubus. “I… think I’ll be more comfortable if I’m not naked. And if we play a different game. One that doesn’t happen on the bed. I’m guessing your game happens on the bed.”

“Good guess,” Haarlep purred.

“What about lanceboard?” she suggested brightly. “Gale’s really good at lanceboard. I bet you haven’t had a challenge in a while.”

Lanceboard?! her mind screamed. He's not going to play lanceboard, you dolt!

The incubus laughed as if she’d just told the funniest joke in the world. “Oh, little mouse. I think you know better. You play my game, or we don’t play at all.” Their eyes flashed. “Your clothes. Now. Be a good girl, and you might just leave here with your life.”

“Um. No?” she tried. “I mean, I’d love to leave here alive. But I’m keeping my clothes on. It’s kind of a dealbreaker.”

“That is very disappointing.” Haarlep’s eyes narrowed as they curled their fingers into a claw. When they spoke again, all trace of seduction was gone. “You will make a pretty feast!”

Suddenly imps were swarming the bedroom, and Haarlep was unfurling their wings, and Lia realized that she had just talked them into a battle. 

With a resigned sigh, she reached for her crossbows. “Sorry, everyone,” she said sheepishly. “That… didn’t go how I’d hoped.”

“Don’t apologize, darling.” Behind her, Astarion drew his bow. “Wanting to see you naked is actually one of the more interesting reasons someone has tried to kill us this week.”

[acewithwords]

you're free to ignore this if you want, but what are the relationships (whether it be platonic, romantic, or familial) each of your mcs have with the characters in their respective games?

*slams down the door* HELLO I WILL NOW BE EXPOUNDING A BIT ON THE RELATIONSHIPS OF MY MCS (I'll do like a visual relationship chart when I remember)

Obey me

• Akio:

They are way closer to the brothers compared to the side characters during the 1st year of their stay in the Devildom. Eventually they do get closer to the side characters. They mainly see the newest characters in season 4 as acquaintances.

They mainly have a more familial bond with most of the brothers including Luke. They considers Luke as a little brother they never got to have. They teach him a couple of cooking tips they got from their grandparents. But they'd consider the dateables as friends.

They're very close friends with Levi since the two share a common interest in video games and Akio likes listening to him ramble.

They also are close to Solomon since they technically have a mentor-mentee relationship but they also have genuinely vibed well together even before Akio were taken in as an apprentice so they're good friends.

However, when it comes to the romance department they have a crush on Satan and Barbatos. They're just kinda nervous and unsure whether to confess or not so they don't really do anything about it.

• Ace:

For Ace, she genuinely considers nearly everyone as family but Thirteen, Raphael and Mephisto are people she's still not very close to. So she'd consider the three as like a weird family friend currently.

She sees the 7 brothers as like her weird older brothers with Lucifer being the single parent clearly.

While, Simeon is the cool uncle who Ace trusts a bit more. She sees Luke as a younger brother and they hangout a lot together. Barbatos is also the other cool uncle who Ace considers as a baking mentor. They bake a lot of things with him once Luke invited her for baking sessions with him and Barbatos when she told him that they wanted to learn how to bake as well.

Ace sees Diavolo as like a rich older cousin. She finds his presence a bit overwhelming sometimes but she enjoys hanging out with him. Meanwhile, Solomon is their weird shady uncle/teacher they're close to especially during Nightbringer.

Arcana Twilight

• Why:

Why doesn't particularly view anyone as family but she does mainly consider the guide committee as her friends. She struggles a lot with her memory so she's glad they're doing their best to help her out a lot.

She's pretty close friends with Alpheratz and enjoys sitting near him doing something else while he naps.

She also likes hanging around Spica sometimes even if they aren't super close. They usually hangout together while in the meeting room or while he does paperwork. She also occassionally hangs out with Arcky and Polkux but she couldn't really say she was particularly close to the two either.

Sirius and her have a complicated relationship? They're sort of like frenemies. They bonded a lot while painting nails and talking about the weirdest topics. She didn't expect to get close to him but the universe can be quiet strange.

Rigel is someone she doesn't really know so she can't really form a proper opinion on him. Principal schedar on the other hand is someone quite strange so she mainly just considers him as an acquaintances.

She rarely has ever felt romantic attraction to anyone but then she met Vega again and now she doesn't know what to do. She doesn't think he likes her back and only sees her as a friend. Somehow everyone else is confused about it.

Twisted Wonderland

• Thorn:

Thorn never really considered someone as Family outside of his own but now he doesn't really have anyone else but Grim and the ghosts. It's a little Ramshackle family!

He's definitely close friends with a few people in school. He likes hanging out with the firdt years especially Deuce and Ace but even if he can be a bit mischevous he's somehow also really good at not getting caught so sometimes they end up getting the brunt of the blame. He's also pretty close to Malleus. Thorn has always had a messed up sleep schedule so he ends up hanging out with Malleus for long hours throughout the night. Along with this he frequently ends up hanging out a lot with Lilia, definitely unexpected by msot but they somehow got along well after the Savannahclaw arc.

He's fascinated by a lot of the people in NRC but he wouldn't entirely say he's super close to them but he'd consider them as "friends," sure. The ones he probably doesn't entirely get along with but respect are Vil, Leona and Sebek.

Thorn works a few side jobs occassionally as a waiter the Monstro Lounge and with the rare instances of helping out Sam in his shop. He does also actually get paid as well for making or fixing up a few things surprisingly.

The teachers are people Thorn wouldn't consider being close to but he does respect them. But Crewel and Trein do have a very small a soft spot for Thorn, he's pretty hardworking and dedicated to their classes specifically but neither would ever admit it of course they don't play favoritism.

Azul is still on thin ice though...

Crushes? He doesn't know 'em sorry. That's a lie he ended up getting a crush on someone but who knows really...

--

And that is all I think.

Not your dad - Part 2

This is kinda short but next part will be

y e s Enjoy!

It was late at night when Elina put her youngest, Cody, to bed. Walking back into the hallway, she spotted some light under Kenji’s door. The Gecko lady approached the door and hesitated, did she wait long enough? Was he calm? Or was he even more mad against them now? Elina sighed, it wasn’t the time to let her worries win over her. “Kenji?” The young woman knocked at his door. She waited multiple minutes before slowly and silently opening the door. Did he fall asleep with the light on? No, he was laying on his back and on his bed, while staring at the ceiling. Elina immediately closed the door and sat down, her back against it. The mutant grabbed a picture out of her pocket and examined it. It was her, but human, with a tall man that had black hair, just like Kenji’s. They looked happy in this picture but Elina knew the truth. Because when you took the time to examine this, they weren’t happy at all. Her eyes were clearly showing fear while his eyes were showing anger. The mutant lady sighed and slid the picture under the door. She waited again until she heard Kenji sitting on the other side of the door. “Is it..?” Started Kenji. “Yes” Answered Elina. Silence reigned for a few moments until he restarted talking. “Did da-.. Michelangelo knew him? And what’s his name?” “Mikey never met him.. And his name is Jacob…” The mutant lady let out a shaky breath. “Kenji I-.. If you need to be mad at someone, please leave your dad out of this, he doesn’t even know Jacob’s name or how he looks” The young man stayed silent for a couple of seconds. “..Why? Why did you hide all of this from us? I thought we didn’t lie to each other! I thought we weren’t like other families! And now you’re telling me that you even hid the truth from him?!” Elina stood up and faced the door. “Kenji listen, Jacob is not a good person. I only did this to protect us..” All of a sudden, the door swung open and Elina looked at her son. “I’m not buying this, who knows if you’re not lying to me again?” In silent shock, the woman stared at her son who slowly closed the door, right in front of her nose. As quickly as possible, Elina ran to Mikey and took refuge in his arms.

“...It gets me mad! Like, they lied to me! I’m fricking 16 and isn’t telling the truth easy though?!” “Yeah for real, your mom could’ve said something like: Hey sweetie~ Dad isn’t yer dad but he can be yer dad!” Caleb, Kenji’s cousin and Raph’s eldest mimicked Elina in the worst way possible. But Kenji had to admit that it was quite a funny view. “Yo yo yo! Yeah yer mum’s right, I ain’t rad enuff tah be yer real dad. I wasn’t cool enuff to knock her up first ya kno?” Ryder horribly imitated Mikey. “Now let’s make our seventh kid babe~” He grabbed Caleb’s face and tried to kiss him but was quickly shoved away. Raphael’s eldest kids were twins, Caleb and Ryder, and they were quite the troublemakers. In fact, they were a lot like Mikey, they loved annoying everyone by doing pranks and messing around, but they were hotheads like Raph. Their favourite victim was their father but they would quickly run away as soon as their mother, Marshanda, would walk in. “Guys, you’re not helping” Kenji sighed with a slight smile. “We weren’t planning to” Ryder winked. Again, the young gecko sighed. “Hey Ken, bet ya can’t win in a race against us” Caleb challenged him with a smirk. “Oh, it’s on” Kenji gave a cocky smile to the tigers. The three mutants then started to stretch a bit before the race would start. The tiger twins laughed together while Kenji stretched on his own. He thought about his biological father.. Did he know about him? Where was he now? Was he married to someone else and did he have other kids? Kenji wished he could meet him but the voice of his mom kept coming into his mind. “Jacob is not a good person!” “Tsk.. I’m sure she’s only saying that because all exes are bad or somethin..” The gecko mumbled. “I could help you with that,” A new voice said, from behind. Kenji turned around and was now face to face with his other cousin, Marisol. She was Donnie and Candela’s only child. His cousin was an axolotl with shell plates all over her back, front and top of her arms.  “Mari.. I think you’ve done enough” Kenji hesitated. “OI MARI ARE YA JOINING THE RACE?” One of the twins yelled from behind. The gecko never could differentiate them if they weren’t in front of him. “No” Marisol quickly answered. The two tigers whined, telling her that she was boring but Marisol ignored them. “If you change your mind, I bought a bus ticket and found his address. I also gave you some money, in case something happens” The axolotl hybrid handed the gecko an envelope. “We’re lucky mutants are more and more common” Kenji hesitated for a couple of mins before taking the envelope. He put it in his hoodie’s pocket and walked back to the twins. The axolotl hybrid stared at Kenji while he was getting ready with the two tigers. “Good luck” Marisol threw at him. The gecko confusedly turned to her, was she encouraging him in the race or- “GO!” The two tigers sprinted. Kenji quickly tried to catch up to them- He was going to lose for sure.

Random Facts About Minerva

Bayverse!Raphael x reader

All Children Joan Ragnar

A/N: A different type of middle child I guess, lol. Jokes aside, I adore this girl❤️

Warnings: Mentioning of childhood anxiety.

Following the theme of strong warriors, you and Raph decided to name your second born Minerva. Minerva being the Latin name for the Greek goddess of strategic war, Athena. But just like many of her cousins, she was often referred to by her nickname - Mini.

Mini had nothing against the name Minerva, it’s just that she sometimes forgot that that is her name. She’s so used to being called Mini, that she almost doesn’t notice when someone calls her Minerva. Each time she would suddenly sit up in realization with a; “oh shit, that’s me!”

Though named after a goddess of war, Minerva wasn’t that much of a feral fighter. Actually, she struggled a lot with anxiety throughout her childhood, especially separation anxiety. She shared a strong bond with her father, but sadly, for the first four years of Mini’s life, she was pretty much glued to Raph’s side, and would scream and cry like she was in danger, whenever Raph had to leave for patrol.

Mini did also suffer from frequent nightmares, all the way up to her late teens. As she grew older, she learned how to handle them, sharing them with you, Raph and her siblings in the morning. But as a toddler it was pretty bad. Mini would often come to you and Raph at night with tears in her eyes, having had yet another horrible nightmare, and only able feel safe in her father’s strong arms, with at least one of her small hands wrapped around your hand.

However, Mini would learn of ways to soothe herself and calm her anxiety, one of them being knitting. Just like Raph once took up knitting to calm his anger, Mini would start knitting in order to calm her anxiety. That had resulted in many blankets, along with new knitted gifts for the whole family.

At the age of 15, Mini was gifted a weapon from Master Splinter, or in Mini’s case - a pair of weapons. She was given two tanto knives, which she immediately took a liking to. Not only had it been her preferable weapon while training, but Splinter thought they suited her well. The nature of tanto knives would force Mini into close range combat, something he hoped would make her more confident.

Just like Mini looked up to Raph, she also looked up to her older sister. She was a bit timid when it came to punching a punching bag, but she did enjoy sitting around and watching Raph and Joan go at it. It wasn’t until her teen years that she decided to give it a try, with Raph and Joan understanding what emotional importance this moment had for Mini, encouraging and supporting her every step of the way.

Mini is very much a hugger. She likes hugging, and it is something she does, no matter if she was sad or happy. But she is very aware that some of her family members - siblings, cousins, uncles or aunts - weren't too happy about being hugged out of nowhere, so she will always ask first.

Mini eating cheese, drinking a milkshake, eating mac'n'cheese, or ice cream? No way. She’s incredibly lactose intolerant. Her cousin Marcello may have a minor intolerance to lactose, but Mini just can’t have any. Don’t even try to give her any, it WILL end badly, and she is very aware of it herself.

6, 32 and 38 for Starcrossedshipping; 2, 13 and 39 for Shieldshipping?

Oooo you got it bud thank you for the ask!!!

6. When did they realize they loved each other?

For Bakura, he's known for millennia. He fell in love with her past life, Kema, when they were young, and fell harder when they reconnected after he finds her at the palace. When he saw her as Kat, seeing her alive and happy and still at her core the woman he fell in love with, it just all fell back into place.

For Kat, while she definitely has a crush on him, doesn't really remember their past life together -- she might get a brief memory like how Seto will of his past life -- but she feels in her heart she knows him on a level she can't put into words. The romantic attraction is there and it just deepends in their time together. She realizes it's love I wanna say around Battle City, but she doesn't admit it to him until the following arc, the Camelot arc I'm creating.

32. How do they resolve their arguments?

I want it to be said that the majority of any argument that they have is a result of Bakura and his bullshit shenanigans that stresses her out and the little punk smirks about it. The other reason they'll have an argument is he's being a bit overprotective, because he's lost Kat once, he can't lose her again (and then this bitch proceeds to get sent to the Shadow Realm during Battle City and then get her soul stolen during Waking the Dragons).

It depends on the argument. Kat is very big into talking things out and trying to find a way for them both to do better from there on out. Bakura can't always go for growth, as, again, he's a 3000 year old vengeful spirit that can be stuck in his ways (especially when you're sharing a room with the embodiment of all darkness), but he does go out of his way to make it up to her when he's hurt her and he does make an attempt to do better.

Having some down time to just cuddle up together after is also nice for them because it lets them unwind from the harsher emotions they'll feel from an argument and show they still care about each other.

38. What was their most memorable date?

They actually have some really good dates (and some crazy ass adventures they also jokingly refer to as dates) but the most memorable one comes shortly before Millennium World transpires.

Bakura knew that it was drawing close to when the Pharaoh would have to face his memories and he knows what will come of it. While there's the night before they fly off to Egypt that happens, there's a date at least a couple weeks before that.

Him and Kat go all around town on little adventures, rolling a dice on her phone to decide what direction they'll walk towards to find places to go have mini adventures in -- shops, places to eat, what have you. They ended it off with driving to the lake outside of town and going to watch a meteor shower and a midnight swim. It was just something that was all them, and a memory he could hold onto before everything goes to hell.

2. Any sleep habits either had to get used to?

Honestly? It was mostly just sleeping next to someone; especially with Rishid, because he's not as used to waking up in the middle of the night to someone cuddling with him/sprawled out over him. But it's something that he very quickly comes to love. They both also have to deal with each other's long hair though in the middle of the night, just faces full of hair, rip.

13. Which member steals borrows the other ones clothing?

Maddox loves Rishid's outfits and they always smell like him, those are his now. Rishid does not mind one bit though, he thinks his husband looks great in his clothes. He evens it out by stealing all of Maddox's favorite mugs.

39. What other couple would your otp get along with the best?

Listen. LISTEN. Them and fortuitshipping (@kohakuhime) are usually the go to double dates. Hell, Maddox is the number one ride or die shipper for Ellie and Raphael, he wants them together so much. That's his cousin and his best friend, he loves them.

I think also naturally they get along really well with the sunflowership babs bc yeah that's Ishizu and Nana who doesn't? And I think they'd do really well with Mai and Joey too because Joey and Rishid are buds and Mai and Maddox are constantly looking for any reason to be gossipy bitches together.

[thxnymph]

In that moment, Siara reminded Salvatore of his older cousin, Bianca. She had her fare share of threats made towards her, and her share of assassination attempts. It was strange how their enemies often targeted those considered close to ones at the top, just to see pain inflicted upon them. He remembered when he was a child, the security around their home when his father was still part of the family. "Your security is not a burden, I can tell you that." Salvatore knew that if it were him, he would be changing all the windows to bullet proof glass.

Salvatore recalled the De Luca family coming up in conversation, even when he was young. His uncle, Alessandro, wanted to make deals with them. Alessandro's son, Raphael, was now making all that happen. Salvatore was given to the De Luca's as a way to ensure a good relationship between them in the future.

'It's all a big chess game, Sal. We get on Ezio De Luca's good side, we get a very powerful ally and access to a new market.' Salvatore always admired his cousin's ambition. Salvatore felt his own stomach grumble. "You and me both." The man kept his eyes on the road, dark circles moving from detail to detail.

"Do you have any other siblings, or just your brother?"

Siara watched him as he meticulously checked everything before getting into the car and driving toward her place. She knew he had to do that. Ezio had been particular about what he wanted her bodyguard to do. "Yes, I know he wants to protect me, and I'd do the same if the roles were reversed," Siara replied with a soft smile. Everyone near the De Lucas knew Siara was Ezio's pride and joy. He sometimes treated her more like a daughter than a sister, which Siara didn't mind. Seeing as her own father didn't even like her. "I just don't like feeling like a burden," she whispered softly.

"Good, good. That doesn't limit me to what to make for us," Siara commented with a gentle smile. Several ideas for dinner were going through her mind. Her fridge and pantry had just been restocked, so the options were limitless. Or, well, at least to meals that didn't take longer than thirty minutes. Her stomach wouldn't hold out for long. At his questions, Siara turned in the seat to look at him. "Yes, I have. Ezio didn't want to tell me when it first started happening because he didn't want to worry me, but then I started getting notes at my old place, and he told them then," she explained then sighed softly.

"My new place has state-of-the-art security because of it, and that's also why you're now here with me, Sal," she continued with another soft smile. It's a good thing we're close now, though, because my stomach might eat itself," she grinned sheepishly as her stomach growled loudly enough for him to also hear it.

*********

Lucifer has his hand over Cristina’s mouth to muffle her screams, stopping her from alerting the family. 

He clicks his tongue a few times, and says. “I thought we came to an understanding. I told you, you’ll see me again. Guess I should’ve been more specific”.

“What do you want?!” she asks, her voice muffled by his hand. 

“You promise not to scream?” he asks, his voice deepens, almost in a whisper.

She nods her head in response. He moves his hand away from her mouth. 

“What do I want?!” he asks, his index finger on his chin, walking towards her bedroom window. 

“Well first off, I would like to know what is so special about your cousin?!. The small one with the cotton candy hair”.

“Daenerys?” she asks, in slight confusion. 

“Yeah, for some reason she happens to be the most important thing in the world to Gabriel” he says, bitterness in his voice. 

“That’s his daughter, that's why she’s so important to him” she responds, in a somewhat sarcastic tone. 

He chuckles, “Ehh not quiet”.

She looks at him in confusion, furrowed her eyebrows at him. “What is that supposed to mean?!” she asks, getting slightly irritated. 

“Well you see. Gabriel is no-”.

He gets cut off when her bedroom door opens, and Gabriel appears in the doorway. 

“Uncle Gabe I-” she says before getting cut off, and going unconscious by Lucifer snapping his fingers. 

Gabriel steps into the room, closing the door behind him, “I told you to leave them alone” he tells him, his voice deep, and angry. 

Lucifer shrugs, “You know I never listen”.

“What do you want?!” he asks.

“You know what I want” Lucifer tells him, “I want you to come with me, and we can find all the others that fell.”

“But why do you care if the others fell?. No one did when you fell” Gabe asks.

Lucifer rolls his eyes, “Yeah, I know. That’s why I want to rub it in dad’s face when we confront him”.

“Do you even know where the others fell??!” he asks, crossing his arms.

“Samandriel, Uriel, Castiel, Michael, Gadreel, Raphael and you are the only ones that I know of that fell. I'm not sure where, but they're most likely scattered".

Gabriel goes silent for a moment, looking down at the floor.

“Okay. I’ll go with you” he says. 

A smile appears on Lucifer’s face, “Good, we should get-”. He gets cut off by his younger brother “But, it’ll have to wait until the morning”.

Lucifer rolls eyes, throwing his head back in annoyance, “Are you serious?!”. 

He nods his head, “Yes, I want to give them an explanation. I’ll tell Daenerys that I’m gonna go help out some survivors with the Highwaymen, or something like that”.

Lucifer shoves his hands into his jacket pockets, and says.

“So you’re gonna keep lying to your “daughter” huh?!”.

Gabriel sighs, “As much as I don’t want to. I have to. How long will this search be?”.

“A week, maybe 2. See you tomorrow little bro”. 

Lucifer disappears from the room, and Cristina is still unconscious.

With the very little powers he has, Gabriel wipes her memory from the last 2-5 minutes.

He goes back to his and Kate’s room, laying next to her in bed. 

********

The next morning at around 7:30am, Gabriel is packing some of his gear that he’ll most likely not need, but has to make it look like he’s going out on a week-long hunting trip, or at least a few days. 

“So how long are you gonna be gone?!” Daenerys asks, sitting at the kitchen table, looking up at him.

He sighs, “A week. Maybe 2. Depending on how long they're gonna need me”.

Kate leans against the doorway of the kitchen, who knows the real reason why he’s leaving.

“So who is that you’re gonna be searching for?!” she asks, playing along with this situation. 

He looks up at her, “It’s a group of hunters that were ambushed by the Highwaymen. Mickey and Lou wanted them captured, and they escaped. Fled into the nearby forests, not far from the radiation zone in the Henbane”. 

He finishes packing up, and he heads outside to his truck.

All of the adults Paige, Kenneth, Mandy, Barbara, Adrian, Mark, Nate, Cody, and Martin all know the real reason why Gabriel is leaving. Trying to keep the kids from knowing the real truth. To help out Lucifer and find the angels that were cast out of Heaven, and were now wandering the Earth, either human, or half human, with little to no powers, or angelic grace. 

The kids don’t know the real reason why he’s leaving. He hugs every single one of them, he holds Kate and Daenerys longer, placing a kiss on Daenerys head. 

“Please come back whole” she says, hugging him tighter. 

He laughs softly, “I will”. Placing another kiss on her head.

He kisses Kate goodbye, gets into a truck, and leaves the property. Meeting Lucifer at the meeting point. 

They all go inside, back to what they were doing, letting Gabe go to find these “hunters”. 

*******

After a half an hour drive later, Gabriel arrives at the meeting point Lucifer had sent him via angel radio. Surprised he was able to get through, even with the very little powers he has. 

A few miles away from the radiation zone of what was once the Henbane River.

“Great. You showed up!” Lucifer says, enthusiastically. 

“Okay. So where are we going?!” Gabriel asks. 

“That way” Lucifer says, pointing into the direction of the radiated part of the Henbane. 

“Into the radiation zone?!?” he asks, eyes wide. Not sure if he’ll actually survive going into that death zone, even with the amount of powers he has. He’s pretty much a human at this point. 

“Yeah. So lets goooo” he says singfully. Walking towards the dead zone.

“I don't even know if I can go through there!” the half angel protests.

Lucifer stops walking, “You’ll be fine. I went through there, and I’m still alive”.

Gabe rolls his eyes, groaning “Yeah because you still have your powers. I don’t. I barely have my powers”.

Lucifer groans back, “Okay. You’ll be fine. Raphael, Uriel, Gadreel and all the others are there, and they most likely don’t have any of their powers. They’re basically human with very little angel powers. So let's go!!” he says singfully again, and walks towards the radiated part of Hope County. 

The youngest Archangel groans, and follows his older brother into the radiation zone. As much as he doesn’t want to, he still does. 

****

Back in Holland Valley, everyone is working, doing their own thing around the compound. 

Jeffrey and Thomas are helping the guys, and a few others put up guard towers around the wall. 

The whole thing is basically a second Prosperity. Open to those seeking shelter from the Highwaymen. 

Paige, Kate and their mother Mandy are supplying guns to some of the residents and all those living on the compound. The three teenage girls are putting up cameras, and motion sensor spotlights with the help of a few others from Prosperity. Even from 40 feet away, and with her back to her. Kate can detect that Daenerys is worried about her father. 

“I can tell she’s worried” Kate mutters to her mother and sister. 

“Wouldn’t you?” Paige responds. Kate looks over at her, and nods her head. 

Paige sighs softly, “I get that you never really got to know dad, but still. I still worried whenever he left. I was just a child. I was afraid of everything”.

Sighing, “Yeah, I know but this is different. I just don’t want her, or anyone to know that we have an Archangel living with us” Kate tells her. 

Mandy doesn’t speak up in this conversation, or put in her two cents, she just listens in on their conversation. 

“Or that you’re married to an Archangel” Paige adds, “What about John?!”. 

Kate scoffs in annoyance, “What about him? He's dead”. She never thought about John Seed in several years, she kept his name and the thought of his existence out of her mind. 

“Yeah, I know. You and Wheaty killed him, or maybe it was Nick Rye. I don't know, I was too busy killing Jacob Seed” Paige tells her. 

“Yeah” Kate whispers remembering all the great times she had with Wheaty, “I don’t want her to know about John. Bad enough she has his eyes. It's a constant reminder that she’s his kid”.

“She also has his small hands. Have you noticed that?!” Paige tells her, while doing jazz hands like movement with her hands. 

Kate laughs softly, and says “Yeah. I could’ve saved him”. Paige looks over at her, “Who?. John?”. 

She scoffs, and shakes her head, “No Wheaty. I could’ve saved him. I’d rather have him be Daenerys’ father than John. I can’t imagine how she would’ve turned out if John were to live. A sadistic little shit. Yelling out “Say yes!. The Power of Yes!. Confess your sins sinners!”.

Paige laughs at this, “I would’ve had Cristina, or Bianca beat her up”.

Kate takes a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears, “I could’ve saved him, I could've gone back, and got him. I still think about it every night” she tells her, voice trembling, "I miss that Native guy so much". Light tears start to run down her cheeks. 

Trying to reassure her younger sister, “You gotta stop beating yourself up about that. I understand you, and Wheaty had something special. I definitely prefer you and him, over you and John, but I’m sure he would’ve wanted you to move on. I know if I would've let you gone back, and get him. You would've died as well". 

Kate nods, agreeing with her “Yeah I know, I know. I thought I would’ve ended up being a single parent. I still remember the day after we killed John and Jacob. Wheaty said to me that he wouldn’t mind being a stepfather to our child, then hopefully had kids of our own".

She stops for a moment, and Paige continues to reassure her sister.

"We lost a lot of people that day. A lot of friends Eli, Tammy, Wheaty, Jess, Mary, Pratt, Hudson and Whitehorse. Do you know if Morgan, Ryan, Sarah and all the others made it? ". 

Kate nods, and continues, "Yeah, we did but then Gabriel came into the picture. Him, and I grew closer, he helped me raise Daenerys, he took care of me throughout my pregnancy. I know he’s not used to the human lifestyle, and it was all new to him. But he adjusted very well, and I’m glad he’s here. I don’t know if they made it, I haven’t seen, or heard from them, but I’m sure they’re all dead”.

********

Lucifer and Gabriel walk through the Henbane River, and to Gabriel’s surprise he’s not coughing up his lungs, and dropping dead. 

“Eessh this is depressing” Lucifer mumbles, clenching his teeth.

“How much further?!” Gabriel asks, getting tired of walking. Lucifer looks around the dry, dead and gray scenery “It’s not far”. He’s not even sure if they’re going the right way, it’s all a dead zone. 

"What are we even looking for?!. How are we even gonna find the others?!" he asks. 

"Static. From angel radio" he mumbles, still unsure where to go. 

They continue walking through the radiation zone. After a few minutes Lucifer senses something, he stops dead in his tracks as does Gabe.

“What is it?!” he asks. He shushes him, and listens closely. “This way!" he tells him. 

He follows him further into the dead region. 

“What is it?!?” Gabriel asks, annoyed that his brother isn't answering him. 

“It’s one of them” he answers. “Raphael?!?” he adds before walking towards the sound that only he can hear. Gabriel follows behind him. 

******

Back at the compound, Cristina, Bianca and Daenerys are setting the motion sensor lights.

The youngest of the Winchester kids, Daenerys can’t concentrate due her father not being around. 

“He’ll be back Dae” Cristina comforts her younger cousin.

“Yeah I know. I just worry whenever he’s not here” she tells them, “Especially with those douchebags running around and capturing people”.  

“He’ll be back. He said he will, and he’s gone to help others several times before” Bianca tells her. 

She tries to keep her mind away from her dad, reassuring herself that he’ll be home within a week or 2, or even a couple of days. Cristina’s mind keeps wandering as well, remembering what her mom, and aunt had said to her the night before. 

She wants to tell Daenerys and Bianca but promised her mom and aunt that she wouldn't. 

Lucifer keeps coming to mind, and that scares her. She had a dream that he appeared in her room, and he was about to say something about her uncle Gabriel and Daenerys but was woken up by her alarm. 

After a couple of hours they finished setting up the lights and cameras.

The guard towers are all complete, the Winchester-Smith compound is complete. 

They have all of their workshops setup. The training yard, infirmary, cartography, garage and the garden are all set. 

Their bunker had been made into an infirmary, storage facility and an armory. As an underground shooting range. 

Later that night at dinner. Everyone that is living at the compound is seated at the main dining room in the main house.

Mark, Nate, their wives and kids. Martin, his wife, and kids. Adrian, his wife and kids. Cody and his wife. Kenny, Kate, Daenerys, Bianca, Jeffrey, Thomas, Barbara, Cristina, Mandy and Paige.

Paige stands up, clears her throat and gives a speech. 

“Okay, everyone if I can have your attention. First off I just wanna say thank you to all of you for your help. I know it’s been a huge adjustment. With the Highwaymen running around Hope County, it’s not really easy. We just need to stick together, and fight against them. I know Gabriel will be back within a week or two with those missing hunters maybe sooner, and we can recruit them to fight against the Twins and their followers. We have everything we need. We just have to keep on our feet. Watch over, and protect our home. Don’t let our guard down because we don’t know when they’ll strike. But if we fight, and push back, they’ll get the message that we’re not to be fucked with. So with that being said. Thank you, and I know we can win this fight”. 

Everyone applauds Paige’s speech, and they all eat their dinner.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 a bouquet for you!

[send me a 🌻 and i'll tell you whatever i want!]

hello thank you so much for the bouquet <3 i just finished my finals and while i still don't have my grades and don't want to start having fun until i know that i passed my classes, i haven't indulged much in the new characters- but while this is the case, i have a few ideas on how i want to interpret them... sorry i made your flower into a long and boring post- it's literally just me word vomiting below the line. but thank youuuu have a wonderful rest of your week! <3

mephistopheles: the intro to lesson 61 painted him out to be almost like a lucifer-type character- strict and very expectant on others following his arbitrarily set standards however based on what we know about him from past texts and lessons [falsifying ballots to appear more popular and making cute little chibi stickers of the literal king of hell and his advisor], we can assume he's a mammon-type character with the heart of gold but sometimes struggles to articulate it as he wants. he's an older brother and really dotes on his younger brother [said by diavolo himself!] i want to believe he's related to diavolo somehow, maybe a cousin or something. he's protective of diavolo and doesn't like how lucifer has such a degree of influence on him. anyway yes he's quirky but knows when to step up as a leader. i think he and lucifer were besties until lucifer kicked him outta the council and mephistopheles was like okay. i'm killing this fool [joins anti-lucifer league] anyway i think his role in the new season is to help with the implementation of the extended exchange program alongside mc who will now serve as the coordinator for the pursuit. they will butt heads with clearly different ideas on how to go about the entire thing. mephistopheles is ranting about how could diavolo even stand that human- anyone would be better than them. like they think they're soooo cool with their cute little nose and radiant smile and floral scent and... diavolo is like -_-

raphael: ugh... looking at him... i fear he is to be a belphegor-type character whos like :( the world is so disappointing and i don't care for anyone and i'm a hitman so i'm cold and calculating sigh :( like girl ok mr. edgelord over here i'm killing you ok sorry ok i'm going to try to fix him. so instead what i want to believe with my heart and soul and everything is that he's very set in his beliefs about the celestial realm- that they want what's best for him and he must abide by their will. he will march straight into the sea if they demanded that of him. simeon and raphael had grown apart because of his stringent mindset whereas simeon learned more about the world through the exchange program and expanded his point of view- the two used to be close [not as close as lucifer and simeon -_- i'm not done with those two]. i don't think raphael is the new exchange student [i think thirteen is as she doesn't really encompass a human, angel, or demon so she could provide more insight as she should still be tied to all the three realms as a god of death] i think instead he was sent by the celestial realm to kill simeon OR lucifer because they have been a pain in their side for millennia- i think more so simeon, because of the post-credits scene of lesson 60- raphael walks in on simeon about to open up the angel's halo, raphael remarking how well he blends into the human world. them bam whips out a pistol and simeon puts his hands up with a bead of sweat running down his temple like. raphael, put that down and let's have a cup of tea. please. luke comes from behind and wacks him with a frying pan and simeon is like :) i am so proud of you luke! ok sorry wow i really don't like him already huh. please solmare prove me wrong and make him sexy

thirteen: i've already speculated that the reason solomon became ... an undesirable acquaintance of the reaper ? is due to him wanting to prolong death for his dying lover OR he wanted to die, having no reason to live anymore after those around him met their fates- i first thought maybe they even had a short heated affair until solomon's like um. nevermind! and thirteen makes it her mission to keep solomon alive, never letting him get the sweet release of death! anyway more on thirteen: the god of death comes in form of a punk with long untamed hair and denim jeans. she's very charismatic and likeable- albeit a little scary with her tall domineering presence and eyes that seem to look at your very soul. i think she came into her role as the grim reaper after coveting the powers from her predecessor- she can find someone to impose this responsibility onto- finally giving her the peace everyone intrinsically hopes for, but she's always been so resolute in her conviction- she has to believe in fate [part of her job description!] and she believes firmly this role was meant for her. she's been the god of death ever since- well, she's lost count of the millennia. through the eons, naturally she's lost her moral code, finding entertainment in meddling with the lives of mortals and ensnaring traps and playing games [see how she competes with solomon for his soul or how she conducted a race against time with beelzebub after he broke a record] - it is only upon meeting the human that even angels and demons alike seem to kneel for, does she understand what makes life so special again

Guarded Hearts and Safe Houses (Leonardo x Reader) Chapter 3/9

Rated: T Gender Neutral Reader, canon typical violence/injury, light angst, strangers to lovers, supportive family for @melodiousmelodrama

You wake just as the sun comes up and in truth you’ve barely gotten any sleep at all. In the living room, Donnie, Mikey, and Raph snore soundly. Your father putters around the kitchen, making coffee and whipping up eggs for quiche.

“I imagine they’ll be hungry. It’s got protein and I’m sure reptiles eat eggs. They are reptiles, aren’t they?” Your father rambles when he’s nervous. Of course, a house full of strangers - mutant strangers - would have him on edge. “Gram will be up in an hour or so to watch the news and take her meds. Do you think… Well, no they’re too big to hide, aren’t they?”

“Dad…” you smile sweetly at his concerns, “it’s going to be OK.” Bitterly, you remember Leo’s reluctance to accept your family’s help. How he acted like it was an inconvenience to him. You remember the eager way he pulled his hand away from yours. “Have you seen Leo? I can ask him when they plan to ship out.” You doubt he’d want to ‘accept charity’ or ‘overstay his welcome’ or ‘drum up more debt,’ or whatever Leo is calling it this morning.

Your Dad points with the egg soaked whisk, indicating the rooftop as he catches drips with his bowl. “I checked on him. He’s a troubled young man.”

You roll your eyes and start a kettle of tea for yourself. But when you open the cabinet for a mug, you take down a pair of travel mugs without much of a thought. 

Looking down at the mugs, you sigh knowing you’ll bring tea for Leo in spite of the pinched feeling in your chest. Once both mugs are prepared and sealed, you take your jacket off the hook and head for the window.

"The stairwell works, you know," Father says as you reach for the window latch.

You give you father a shrug and accept the cups of tea he passes through the window to you on the fire escape. "Thanks."

"Don't be too hard on him," your father says, somehow reading your thoughts. "I think he's punishing himself up there, blaming himself for what happened to his brothers."

"Did Mikey wake up yet?" you ask with concern.

You're relieved by your father's nod. "Mom checked him out before he fell asleep again. They're all going to be fine. Could use some more rest though."

Father closes the window behind you and you make the climb up the metal stairs to the roof.

You find Leo slowly carrying out a series of movements. You assume it's a form of Tai Chi or Yoga. Careful not to disturb him, you take a seat by the ladder and allow yourself to be lured by the strength of his forms.

Leo turns, pulling his fists to his hips as he takes a wide stance. Facing you, he comes to a stop, expels a measured breath, and meets your gaze. "I know why you're here.”

"You do?"

Another slow breath. "I mapped a route,” he says, his tone devoid of emotion. “If we leave before the top of the hour, we'll have enough cover to make it to the sewers."

"I'm not here to kick you out. I brought tea.” You gesture to the mugs sitting beside you and cross your arms over your chest. “And Father's making breakfast. You'd be rude to leave now."

Leo seems invulnerable to your attempts at humor. "We can't impose ourselves on you any longer."

How can he think your family is trying to push them out, when all they’ve done is ask them to stay, to recover. "You're not an imposition. Don't you get that? Your brothers are hurt, Leo. You're hurt."

Leo walks over, and reluctantly takes the mug when it’s offered. "We heal quickly," he assures you, blowing carefully over the tea before taking a sip. His stubbornness, however, doesn’t blind you to his lingering injuries.

"You were dropping your arm while you did your karate thing. The left side was always a bit slower than your right. Tell me that was deliberate."

Leo rolls his shoulder. Though he manages to suppress a wince, his eyes go tight at the corners. "It's nothing."

"It'll matter in a fight."

"I'll be back to rights by nightfall. Krang won't attack during the light of day. Not yet, at least."

"So that settles it.” You smile. You’ve won. “Wait til nightfall."

Inside, everyone was seated around the table for breakfast. Everyone.

You pulled up short, seeing Gram's chair at the head of the table. "Gram, you're… in the kitchen..."

Grandmother purses her lips. "I got hungry dear and I could smell your father overcooking the quiche again."

You scan the room, wondering what her reaction had been to the mutants. "So you came out to help and..."

"And found there was no need.” She gave a light chuckle. “Donatello had it under control. Finally got the oven calibrated. And that Raphael,” she pet his arm and he seemed to melt under her attention, “such wonderful knife skills."

"What about Mikey?"

"Oh,” she says, smiling affectionately, “he's eaten half the donuts in the box."

Mikey scowls, powdered sugar dusting his lips and fingertips. "Hey, lay off. It's all part of the healing process. OK?” He stuffs another donut hole into his mouth, muffling his voice. “I was gravely injured, dudes. I need proper sustenance to repair the damage."

Raph snorts as crumbs fall into Mikey’s lap. "Yeah, too bad them donuts ain't cure brain damage."

"Uh huh," Donatello smirks at both of his younger brothers and Raph kicks him under the table.

“You’re one t’ talk, brainiac .” It’s a curious exchange. Raphael both poking fun of and defending Mikey nearly in the same breath.

Leo sighs at your side before addressing his brothers. "Get your strength up, guys. Help out where you can.” To your grandmother and father, Leo gives a small bow. “We thank you for your hospitality. You've been gracious hosts and your medical assistance has been invaluable. I'm sorry to impose ourselves upon your family for any longer than truly necessary, but-"

"But nothin," Raph says, swallowing hard to clear a mouthful of pancakes. You see Gram sneaking more turkey bacon onto the big guy's plate. "They said we could stay. Donnie called Splinter. It's all good, bro. Sit. Eat. Chill."

Mindful of his injuries, but going along with his brother’s playful spirit, you nudge Leo with an elbow. "Yeah, bro. Chill.” You know Splinter’s approval goes a long way, but you think seeing his brothers well and comfortable around your family has allowed Leo to breathe easier. He doesn’t resist when you push him toward an empty chair.

The rest of the day goes by better than you could have imagined. Who knew they guys were as obsessed with retro gaming as your cousins?

Mikey isn't feeling well enough to pick up a controller, but he's quick to offer insights and cheat codes for the game.

Leo spends most of the time fussing over his younger brothers. He makes sure there are snacks and water, breaks from screen time, and injury checks. It seems like Mikey passing up his turns in video games is really out of character for the guy. Leo watches him closer than the rest.

The concern Leo shows for his brothers niggles at your heart. It pushes aside the parts of him that annoy you to make room for growing respect. Affection for the man sneaks up on you, warming your chest before you realize it’s there.

Leo stands beside the TV, waving a tea towel in front of his brother’s faces, announcing it's time for dinner. You almost want to laugh at the scene. His brothers sprawled over the living room fighting over controllers and bags of pretzels, while he clucks at them like a mother hen.

But then something about it kind of clicks. You get it. You understand why he's stern and focused. He's taken it upon himself to be the responsible one. And his brothers are able to goof off, able to have these hours of fun, because of that.

"We're heading out after we eat,” Leo says as Donnie turns off the TV. Leo skips over you as he takes turns looking all of his brothers in the eye. "Get this place cleaned up."

Dinner is full of laughing and teasing, carried over from the evening’s gaming. You think you even spot a smile on Leo's face once or twice.

You pass him the basket of bread and catch his eye. You're grateful for the moment he spends looking at you, still smiling at his brothers’ warm-heartedly debate with Gran on whether or not milk belongs in tea.

It’s sad to see them go, but you don’t expect the guys to return so soon.

Donatello is the one at the window, not four hours later.

Just when you were getting water, about to turn in for bed, you hear a knock on the window. You jump at the sound. The glass in your hand slips into the sink.

Donnie keeps to the shadows on the fire escape. The news he brings is devastating. His eyes don’t meet yours when he speaks and his tone of voice sounds discordantly flat compared to the news he brings, but you know he’s telling the truth. There’s no way anyone would lie about this.

“The Lair, our home, has been destroyed.”

With an arm outstretched toward the kitchen chairs, you invite him to sit, but he remains crouched outside the window in the dark.

“We have to find somewhere to lie low. Leo will say it’s selfish to ask… that we can’t ask for more from your family… but it’s the only way I see it, that we can be safe and keep your family safe as well.”

Your blood runs cold. “My family? You think we’re at risk.”

“I honestly don’t know. But it stands to reason that anywhere we’ve been is at risk. We can defend your home, your family, if we are here. Or nearby. Perhaps there’s someplace-”

“No. Stay. Gran knows you guys now. I can spend the night in her room. You can spread out between mine and the living room. It’s not ideal, but it could work. Right?”

Donnie's eyes close as he considers what he's lost. “It’s more than we have. It’s more than-”

“It’s yours. I’ll talk to my parents. You know they’ll say yes." Shelter isn't the only help your family can provide. "My father will help anyway he can to find out who did this. And my mother, well, you know she’s fascinated by you guys.”

“Yeah.” There's a small shift in Donatello's stance that makes you retrace your words searching for the source of his discomfort.

“You don't like her poking around, do you?”

“We don’t want to be an experiment. A freakshow.”

“I don't think she sees.you like that, Donatello. But I’ll tell her to back off with the questions about your biology, if that helps.”

Donatello nods, but then shrugs. “I’ll tell her what I can. She's a doctor. If she's really going to help, she'll need to know.”

“Only what you’re comfortable sharing." You know Donatello has taken on the bulk of

medical care for his siblings. He's the expert. If he's acknowledging a need for your mother's help, there must be something about these new enemies, a new danger, he fears.

Concern fills the pit in your stomach. "Where are your brothers?”

Donatello's gaze slides to his right. “Mikey’s here.”

You peer out to see the youngest turtle perched upon the fire escape stairs, camouflaged by shadow. “Why don’t you guys come in?”

“...Cause,” Mikey says rubbing his hands together before giving you a stiff, lop-sided grin, “we’re takin’ you out.”

Your gaze passes between them and Donatello raises a hand to help you through the window. “Out?”

There's a graveness to Donatello's voice that makes Mikey's cheerfulness seem even more forced. “You asked where my brothers are. Well, Mikey’s here, yeah. But Raph and Leo…”

“They’re totally buggin, man.” Mikey's smile is still in place, but you see him swallow hard. You see the twitch at the corner of his eye as he struggles to keep his mood light.

Donatello nods solemnly. “You got through to Leo before. He doesn’t want to ask your family for more. But if you come-”

“I’ll come," you agree quickly. "Of course, I’ll come. Just… let me change clothes?”

Your search for a jacket takes longer than ever. Your mind races and your body quivers with excitement. It was one thing to invite them into your home after watching them fight, after seeing them injured.  It’s another thing to be invited into their home. No, what did Donatello call it?  Their Lair.  

You’re about to step into their world. A world of mutants and monsters. And you’re far less frightened than you think you should be.

[heyheydidjaknow]

FUCK YOU TIME! I’m aware I’m an hour and a half late, but I finished the chapter, so HA. I know nobody cares, but I’m happy with myself. Previous chapter is at the bottom of the page, of course.

Chapter 4

"Why, pray tell, don't you trust me?"

"Because you're being paranoid." Mikey gets into position at the top of the ramp as you scroll through your phone absentmindedly, watching your friends back home sincerely mourning your death. "I am an ex-peer-ee-onsed skateboarder and ninja. This is gonna be epic."

"As someone who saw that episode," you reassure him, sighing at your mother's inactivity online confirming your suspicions for the umpteenth time, "you are absolutely going to get in trouble." The lair is a mess, the ramp more so, and the entire situation is so obviously the inciting incident that you're half convinced that the universe itself is pranking you. You slid the phone into your pocket, not really in the mood to start crying again. "In fact, this is directly related to the theme of the episode. In other words, don't do it."

"Relax, dude." He sets himself up. "I am totally gonna make this jump and it is going to be sweet."

"Theme?" Donatello pipes up from his place on the ground in front of the ramp. "The first major constituent of a clause?"

You blink. "No, the new Subway footlong. What the fuck are you talking about?"

"That's the definition of theme."

"Who uses that definition? Grammar teachers?"

"The dictionary."

You are dumbfounded. "Why would I— do you know how people usually use that word?"

"People usually use that word at all?"

You look over at Raphael and Leonardo, who are on the floor next to him, and who seem completely disinterested. "Do you guys—"

"No. Who uses the word 'theme'?" Raphael rolls his eyes. "Mikey, do you plan on jumping today?"

"Wait, so none of you have ever used that word in a literary sense?"

"There's a literary sense?"

You sigh. "In hindsight, I guess that makes sense, since— Mikey, you're gonna get grounded for it."

"Will not."

"Will too. Donnie, when you inevitably get grounded for this, after your grounding is over, come to my apartment. I'm teaching you literary analysis because that is ridiculous." You get to your feet. "Oh," you say, "before I go, when he grounds you, don't go out. If you get into trouble while you're out, get me, and if he asks why you're tired, say it was a movie marathon, and if he asks which movies, Lord of The Rings. See ya." You run out as you hear the shouts of their father telling them to stop.

You walk back up to the surface via the empty subway tunnel. You had quickly realized that it was infinitely less gross than going through the sewers, and your apartment already smelled enough like raw sewage from the amount of time you had started spending down there. You have considered buying new clothes with your quickly appreciating bank account, but you could not bring yourself to look, even with your new freedom. Maybe it was a lack of motivation? You do not exactly know. More likely is your complete lack of inspiration and faith in your own choices, but what do I know?

You start down the street to your building. You would not go so far as to say it felt like home, but you had become more accustomed to it. You had learned the bellboy’s name, nodded to neighbors. It is not a stunning amount of progress, but it is progress. You spend most of your days now, if not re-watching whatever episode is relevant next, for the first time, cyberstalking people you knew from back home. How courteous of that organization to give you an up-to-date feed of life moving on without you; at least you get to see your cousins.

You do not remember the actual walk. You remember getting to your apartment, walking right by your refrigerator, and collapsing onto the bed.

You feel like shit.

You roll onto your back, going right back to stalking. You are not sure why you bother making yourself feel worse. You tried messaging them to absolutely no avail. You cannot comment on posts, either. You know this. You still grasp onto this shred from your past. It just makes you sad. Why are you doing this to yourself?

You feel a lump rise in your throat. You close the window.

You curl around your pillow, hugging it tightly. You the sound of your fingers against the screen was the only thing to permeate the room. You are following a tangent, looking for a book you were interested in a century ago. Something about a pervert? You forget.

You miss home.

—

You do not even need to look up from your phone; the panting is enough. "I'm going to take a wild guess."

"I know you said to come get you," Donnie gushed, "but it was 2 in the morning and I totally forgot and I was freaking out about this new invention and—"

You set the e-book down, walking over and grasping his hands gently. "Take a deep breath, alright? You're gonna be fine, so long as you chill out and think."

"Baxter Stockman is serious business."

"I know, honey, but you gotta calm down, alright?" You slowly pull him down to sit on the bed.

"He snapped my staff with his freakin hand!"

"You are going to go through at least 2 more of those bad boys. Breathe with me." You inhale deeply. "In."

He mimics you.

"Out."

He follows suit.

"Okay. Are you good?"

His breathing slows. He swallows, nods. "Okay, I'm calm."

"Awesome. Now, I'm gonna give you a mini version of our lesson, alright? Is that okay?" The irony of you trying to calm down the trained ninja is not lost on you.

"Yeah, alright." He nodded.

"Alright. Let's start off with the basics." You sit yourself up properly. "Now, this is a kid's show, right?"

"If you say so, yeah."

"The thing about kids shows is that there's usually a moral to each of the episodes."

"Okay."

You put up one finger. "At the beginning of the episode, you guys got grounded, right?"

He nodded.

"You guys snuck out, and you got into a fight with Stockman. That fight is the reason he's after you, right?" You try to speak relatively clearly and, more importantly, calmly.

"Yeah." He seems to respond relatively positively to this.

"And then,” you continue, putting up a second finger, “Mikey losing the t-pod and not telling anyone is what lead to Stockman getting powerful, right?”

He nodded.

“In both instances, the problem was a lack of transparency, right? Not asking for help for fear of getting in trouble?”

He nodded again.

“So,” you nod with him, “the way to fix this is?”

“To ask for help regardless of whether or not it will get us in trouble with Splinter?”

“Exactly.” You smile encouragingly. “Why?”

“Because that’s the message of the episode?”

“You really are quick to catch on.” You get to your feet. “I’m not surprised you’re the brains of the group.”

“Really?” His eyes lit up.

“Most definitely. Now,” you get to your feet, “as much as I love when we talk, and as much as I owe you a lesson on how to identify these sorts of things on your own, I’m sure your brothers could use that advice right about now.”

“Right!” He gets up. “Thank you, again.”

“My pleasure, my guy. Oh, hit me up when you’re off of your grounding so I can figure out a lesson plan.”

“You got it.” He climbed out of the window. “See you then, Y/N.”

“Kick their asses.” You wave as he disappears into the night.

Your smile slowly slides off your face as you close the window. You pick your phone up to check the time.

You toss it onto the bed. ‘I’m making cupcakes.’ You have not eaten in what feels like a while. You are already out of bed. Might as well.

--

“She called me honey.”

Raphael rolls his eyes. “I’m telling you, there’s no way that a girl like her is going to be into you. You’re delusional.”

“Honey is a pet name!” Donatello’s voice rises slightly. “And—and she invited me to her place after we aren’t grounded!”

“Let him believe.” Leonardo pipes up from in front of the television. “I think it’s nice that he and she are as close of friends as they are so quick.”

“For the record, I’m rooting for ya, bro.” Mikey takes another bite out of his pizza. “Sure, you’re a little creepy, but so is she, so it works out.”

He scoffs. “Aren’t you three forgetting something? Like, I don’t know, that we’re turtles? Is the fact that she’s an entirely different species not a factor?”

“Part turtle.” He speaks incredibly fast. “Our DNA is mutated with—”

“Oh, I’m sure you’re holding onto that technicality real tight, aren’t you?” He stabs the dummy in the gut. “A technicality that I’m sure she cares about.”

“I did the research.” He gets to his feet, running over and grabbing a diagram from his lab. “We’re physically compatible.”

“Donnie. Brother. No.” He stops. “Please tell me you didn’t seriously look into whether or not you could fuck her. I know you like this girl, but come on.”

“I didn’t go out of my way to research how our reproductive system works for this.” He tosses it back into his lab, sliding the door closed. “I did that research a while back. I just had to investigate reproduction on the female end to make sure everything worked.” He stands up straight. “Theoretically, we are fully capable of reproducing with humans.”

“Theoretically?” Leo looks back at him.

He feels his face go red. “Well, there isn’t any clinical research done on the subject. We’re the only ones of our kind, after all, and I don’t have any female samples to use.”

“For fuck’s sake, Donnie, do not ask her for ‘samples’.” He gags. “That’s just fucking gross.”

“I wasn’t going to!”

“You were. I’d bet money on it.”

“Ten bucks says he still will.” Mikey drops the rest of it down his throat.

“Hey!”

“Dude, you’re freakier than I am. I love you but come on.” He lays back on the couch.

“Y’all are just gross.” He stabbed the dummy in the neck, sand pouring out of the hole. “We need a more durable dummy.”

“You could just not break the ones I make.” He sits down on the couch. “That’s an option.”

“It’s a literal punching bag. It’s a show of love.”

The episode ends. Leo walked over to the two on the couch, sitting on the other side of his lanky brother as Michelangelo scrounges for crumbs. “Look, it might be jumping the gun a bit to start researching if you guys can have kids. You guys aren’t even in a relationship.”

“I know.” He rubs his face with his hands. “I dunno, man. What am I doing?”

“Exactly.” He pats him on the back. “I’m not saying it could never happen, but this is a little much.”

He sighs. “Yeah, that’s true.”

“We wouldn’t lie to you.” He gets to his feet. “I’m gonna go meditate for a while. You wanna join me?”

“I’m good.” Donnie hopped over the back of the couch. “I’m gonna go work on this thing I’ve been working on.”

“Alright, man.” He walks off to the dojo.

He steps into his lab, sliding the door closed behind him. He sits at his workstation, a half-finished robot sat on the table. He slides his tongue in the space between his teeth absentmindedly as he goes back to connecting wires.

‘She used the past tense. Had, she said.’ He bounces his knee absentmindedly, reaching for the soldering iron. ‘But she called me honey. She called me hot stuff. Is that an insult?” He tests the joints. ‘I don’t remember.’

He sets his project down for a second. He opens his laptop, smiling gently at his screen saver. It is a photo you had emailed him of the two of you to show you how it worked.

‘I should make a camera. Or find one. A digital one.’ He sighs, closing it. ‘She is absolutely gorgeous.’

He goes back to work, still feeling your fingers around his.

[jasmine-the-fox]

From a little prank to true love (final)

So here we are! The ending of this story! Again I was inspired by @thyladyanput and her story of a prank from Felix... And now enjoy!

Ten years later...

So much had happened in ten years, after Adrien was rejected... He snapped and attacked Lila, claiming she lied like always to make Jasmine reject him, the police came in to stop him and Lila claimed she would sue him for the assault and false accusation... Promising Jas would defend her, the teachers came over for the police to explain to them the situation... And had to return home because of Adrien... Everyone was upset except Lila and Felix “They can stay with me and my family... Lila was attacked for no good reason and i’m showing Felix around... I already contacted my school and they agree to let them study there until the trip is over and my family agreed to have them stay with us” Jasmine explained making the two happy to the good news.

When the class returned, they were confronted by Adrien’s father, Lila’s mother and the police, Lila had already reported Adrien’s actions and no one was happy when Lila promised to sue Adrien and send him to court, however Gabriel wanted to speak with his lawyer about a few things on the situation so Lila’s mother agreed... She hoped Lila would be alright with this as she texted her about the Agreste’s meeting with a lawyer “Have her tell you when she’s to meet with them... For now Donnie will look into it” Jasmine said as her brother with success as always got into the security cameras in the mansion, a few hours passed when the lawyer arrived and was inside “Your son really put you in the mud Gabriel... His actions on that girl can get you to lose everything” the lawyer said as Gabriel looked angry.

“I don’t care! I just want you to help me make a deal so that Rossi girl doesn’t sue me anymore!” he demanded as Jasmine glared “He’s going to pressure your mom” Jasmine whispered making them look at her “With you not in Paris, he can make a deal your mom can’t refuse, pressuring her that if you do sue... Her reputation at work could be destroyed while claiming you already were told and agreed to it so she can sign” she explained making Lila’s eyes widen as she told her mom to not sign anything Gabriel gives her no matter what... Not until she looked it over that is, Jas promised her that they would make sure that the Agreste family is ruined for Adrien’s actions and Lila wins this... By demanding them things Gabriel would refuse to bend to which will force them to court.

A week passed when Lila and Felix came back to Paris, Lila’s mom called her to say that Gabriel with his lawyer, son and assistant were at their home with a deal for Lila to not sue Adrien... A job in the Agreste line of fashion as a model, photoshoots, dating Adrien and to live where she wants in Paris in exchange of her not suing... She didn’t like that deal and refused, Mari had already given her a modeling job for MDC designs and she already accepted it, Mari was to send her the contract they agreed on... She demanded for the Agreste line to be shut down and a huge sum of money in exchange for her to not sue Adrien... Gabriel refused “Then i’ll be suing your son for his actions in New York... Because i’m not budging on what I want” she said and the four left with Adrien worried.

Two months passed and it was court day, Felix and Jas came to help Lila making Adrien worry as his friends went to protect him... But it wasn’t enough, Jasmine’s words about Adrien claiming she refused to date him due to being asked at her job was the cause of him attacking Lila with the false claim... Because they talked before Adrien spoke to her again... The jury decided that Adrien was guilty... And he lost a lot of money... So much that the Agreste line ended up being shut down... And then was reopened as MDC designs because Mari bought the company... Adrien and the rest of the class tried to talk to her and get a job but she banned them from her stores and anything connected to her “You turned against me for something shiny and new... Like I am now so I turn on you too” she hissed and left them there.

Some time later everyone saw on the news Kagami and Raphael’s wedding, it was huge and very famous “It was later found out that Kagami Hamato’s wedding dress was designed by MDC design’s miss Marinette Dupain-Cheng” a reporter said, Alya was enraged at seeing Marinette, Lila and Jasmine at the wedding and she wasn’t there to report about it... She was still blaming Lila for everything that happened, even so the class still tried to talk to Mari and Jas... But they were blocked and ignored, the class tried a number of times to see them and failed so bad that the police had to be called a number of times to take care of them and the police ended up suggestion to place a restraining order on them... The two girls agreed as they no longer wanted the class to bother them, sadly some of the students didn’t follow the restraining order and still bothered them... The police brought them back to the station in just a few hours.

Even so Jasmine was still living in New York... And Felix transferred to where she was, his mother agreed and Adrien who was no longer able to pay for his courses... Ended up getting a job to try and pay for it... He did try to be transferred to where his cousin was but that college refused to have him because of his actions... Even so Adrien made sure to keep tabs on Jasmine at all times... Even though he couldn’t see everything she did in one day his friends were more than happy to help him with that... And then a year went by and his life was destroyed by his cousin.

He was working one Saturday, he got an extra shift like he asked and was working hard when Alya rushed in with Nino, Max and Kim... They looked worried for him as they showed him the news... Jasmine was getting married to Felix... And she called him the love of her life, Adrien didn’t know what to do, to his luck it was a slow day and his boss wasn’t in because he was sick so he closed up and spoke with his friends in the back about it “I have to talk to her! She’s making a huge mistake I just know it! I need to tell her about Bridgette right now!” he claimed making them nod and get to work, they helped him take care of the store and when it was time to close early he did so, the next day would be closed until his boss was better so Adrien used that moment to fly to New York to stop Jasmine.

Jas was out walking, the wedding was getting set and everything was amazing! Mari was finishing up her dress and the guests all accepted to come... Nothing could ruin her big day “Jasmine! Please you need to listen to me!” and that jinxed it... Adrien came over and begged her to listen to him “Felix used to date a girl a little like Mari... Her name was Bridgette and everything for them was going well... But then he killed her one night all of a sudden, he claimed to know nothing but I know he killed her!” he claimed and hoped it would open her eyes “You mean her suicide... She killed herself Adrien” she said and he looked at her in shock “No... He killed her!” he claimed but she simply sighed.

“Felix felt like he was being stalked for some time, he even told the police and they found out it was Bridgette. She would leave him gifts and love notes but all he wanted was for her to leave him alone... Her parents were ashamed of her and put her in therapy to try and make her stop... But it failed, Felix even got a restraining order on her but she always followed him” she explained as Adrien tried to speak over her that they were lies “Her parents had enough and went for the last thing they could think of... Moving, the day before they were leaving they told Bridgette how they were leaving for Paris... She killed herself during the night leaving a note about how she couldn’t live without him... No one cared, her parent’s didn’t even pay for a funeral because they were tired of everything. They still moved to Paris though” she finished as she turned away.

“I’m going to marry him Adrien. I don’t love you anymore after you said we were just friends... I’m done trying to achieve a dream that will never happen” she said and left him there, when he returned to Paris it was to get a letter from court saying that because he got in contact with Jasmine... He was to leave Paris and move somewhere else... Russia, he was being placed with a family that would care for him and make sure he studied and everything... Adrien was furious and was then akumatized... Hack Moth thought to have won but his miraculous was taken and Gabriel Agreste was arrested that day... Adrien finding out his father was Hawk Moth, his assistant was Mayura and his mother was under then mansion alive but sleeping was too much for him... He ended his life by cutting his throat that very same day.

Alya and some of the class tried to blame Jasmine... If she had just dated him none of this would have happened, of course other students saw the error in there ways and apologized to her through letters and promised to stay away from her... Luckily after a year in therapy and counseling passes those students will be able to get back in contact with her... Just not the others, a month later she became miss Jasmine Graham de Vanily, she was so happy that she was now married to Felix that nothing could ruin her day.

Of course the class who was still against her still tried to do things to her, they attacked in any shape or form they could think of... Alya was the first to be arrested and being sent to Juvie for her actions towards Jas, Lila on the other hand was now working hard to fix her mistakes, she went from email to video-chat, from phone calls to meeting in person and apologized to the people she lied about or lied to and hoped to work hard in fixing her mistakes... Most of them were forgiving... But the people she lied to were furious with her and sued her... Luckily those she lied about defended her and helped her with all those situations and luckily the jury was on her side in all of this... She couldn’t thank Jasmine enough.

Marinette was working hard too, with her and Donnie being parents it wasn’t easy to have time for themselves really, of course the family was more than happy to help them out when they could and they were more then happy for that... But Mari still wondered about certain things that were happening around them “It’s like our lives are changing so fast... That I can’t catch up to it all” she explained as Donnie believed she just needed to relax and rest for a bit in order to adjust to everything happening to them right now... Jasmine was more then willing to help out with anything they could think “It’s fine if you just sleep... But it’s important for the two of you to be together for a bit” she explained making the two nod and they ended up taking a week to relax together which Felix thought should have been two weeks.

And now here they were, a year after that in a hospital waiting for there son to be born, they were so very happy about that, after all it was all they really wanted, the Hamato family was making sure everything was ready while Amélie was with them at the hospital to help them with the little boy while his mother was sleeping and his father was caring for her “You will need to rest after he’s born” she had told her and Jasmine couldn’t agree more with her as she was in some pain at the moment while she pushed him out as hard as she could to then hear him crying out, she sighed in relief as Felix moved to help with there son before handing him to her “Beautiful” she gasped out when they saw a little blonde baby with brown eyes... They couldn’t help but be happy at little Kyle being born at last.

Even so there was much to do, Jas needed to rest and then wait until the doctors allow her to be checked out at last from the hospital to then head home with there son, Felix loved seeing Jasmine holding there son as he slept there in her arms, he couldn’t help but take a picture... Or seven really, his mother thought he was going a little bit too far with that much but she let it slide and walked out to get them something to eat, today was the day a week after Kyle was born that they could leave the hospital, she was relieved because now Amélie will meet her family while they meet Kyle for the first time... She was very much excited “I wonder which of my brother’s will be the teddy bear for him” she said as they walked in the sewers “Teddy bear?” Amélie asked while looking at them confused making Jas giggle.

“It happens each time, when we meet a baby... One of them starts worrying over that baby each time they see the baby... I’m just wondering which one will be like that since Mikey is the teddy bear of the twins” she explained making Felix chuckle “I bet it’s Raphael” he said making her look at him making her her then nod to him “I can see it” she said making him laugh as they got inside the lair... And just as believed Raph was Kyle’s teddy bear in the end making them all laugh at him, Lila arrived an hour later and was excited to meet Kyle making them all happy for her to hold him for a bit before his next feeding, while he and the twins were sleeping, they ate and talked about everything and anything they could think about while Jasmine held hands with Felix under the table while the two were very happy with the life they nod had together.

The end!

Moonlight Lovers episode 06 - Beliath 18,540 APs

The episode starts right where we left off, Eloise and Beliath had sex for the first time (yes they did, it was confirmed) and Leandra, this strange demon-looking chino self-insert woman is in the room. I thought Leandra might be Beliath’s mother, but it looks like she’s not sigh :( I still think they are related though, she might be his half sister, or a cousin on his non-vampiric side.

Anyway, Beliath gets rid of her and begs Eloise to not ask him questions, she complies. A few days go by, Eloise and Beliath keep being close and happy and everyone knows about this new development in their relationship but no one says anything (apart from a few raunchy comments from Ethan). One day Beliath organises one of his parties, he even buys a sexy dress for Eloise, she’s happy, they flirt and kiss etc all in all they act all cute. 

The night of the party, Vladimir wants to talk privately to Eloise and basically tells her that she’s mad to hope for something serious from Beliath, he’s not the type and never will be, and she should terminate whatever they have going on right now.

She politely (or not, depends on your choices) tells him to mind his own business, but she turns to find Beliath dancing with a sexy girl. Eloise is mad, you now have the choice to make her dance with Vladimir, someone else or alone, I picked alone and I think it was a good choice, a random silhouette comes to hit on her, Beliath sees this, gets mad and takes Eloise to the parlour to talk (illustration). 

We find out that Beliath was pretending to enjoy the company of other women because Leandra is at the party and he wanted to shift her attention from Eloise, for some reason Leandra is dangerous if she finds out that they have feelings for each other.

Now two things happen:

First, Ivan looses control and attacks the girl he was dancing with (pretty much everyone was dancing/flirting with someone, even Raphael). While the vampires diffuse the situation and take Ivan away, another body is found, the girl Beliath was dancing earlier. Also, Aaron took a beating and is in bad conditions.

The party is over, they hypnotise and send everyone away, and Eloise is sent to her room. She is too on edge to stay there tho, so she waits outside in the corridor, hidden behind a corner. This way she assists at a conversation between Beliath and Leandra. Basically Leandra says that she’s not buying Beliath’s act and she knows his relationship with Eloise is serious and threatens to do something to her if Beliath doesn’t put an end to it. And this is where the episode ends.

There’s not much to comment other than the fact that Leandra and Beliath name another woman, Asmodee, who sounds like a figure in charge of some sort, I guess she may be Beliath’s mother? This person also says that Beliath is more powerful than whatever Leandra is (succubus?) because of his mixed blood.

Another interesting point is that both victims where women with whom Beliath had just danced/looked intimate with, however we don’t know if there is a connection and he never once assumes that Leandra is involved, actually he tells her to be less cynical when she comments on it, because he knows she’s also against murder. She also says something like “you taught me how to feel” (no romantic subtext) so there’s definitely more to her than meets the eye.
