Been having a really long art block, and finally trying to get back at drawing. Since here I don’t post the art payment I do unless the person has a tumblr it’s been abandoned for a long time, but I hope that changes soon.

Top drawing: Mireille design by fantsaystaradopts on deviantart Amand design by landofadoption on deviantart Sol design by jollanars-adopts  (gifted by nyx-witch-blood) Some days ago to try and finally shake a bit of the art block, even if it means traditional coloring. Mireille (she/her cis woman) and Amand (he/him cis boy) are sibling, bot their parents are elves but from different types. Also, since I finally finished The Owl House I also took the change to use a design I had for a luminity child, so here we have Sol (he/they pronouns but a cis girl because fuck yeah gender nonconformity), who is the younger sibling. I'm not sure if I'll also use Mireille and Amand as ocasional TOH character because while I have a story in mind I'm unsure if I will fully write it, so we'll see I guess. Bottom drawing: Vespira design (six point star marks) by @rinaenergy17 Corona (crown marks on the first drawing) by auslaehistorian on deviantart Selenthea (moon marks) and Tiara (crown marks on the second drawing) by: @xx-simpfulstar-xx Did this in march of 2022 and wanted to digitalize before posting, but then art block hit so I think I'm finally going to post it and be done with. Story is a bit of a wip, but here is a small resume: Selenthea's sister, Corona, got married to the heir of another kingdom that was deeply trusted by the Butterflies... Sadly the heir (and idk if the father) ended up being rotten apples and wanting more power. They used Corona as a hostage and in exchange they wanted the wand, but upon refusal (and idk if Corona herself trying to escape or a rescue mission being send to get her back) they executed her. Selenthea entered in a war with them and won, but in the process developed trust issues, to the point of getting married to her first cousin despise the lack of love because she feelt the coun't trust anybody outside the family.

Together in the astril,

Lacking realism and relevance,

While holding on to the flame

Between twins

Taking away only moments,

Together in extisy

But left in the bittersweet of this reality

Unlikely Affection Chapter 28: **To Floo or Not to Floo

Authors Note: Woah it's been a while! But to make up for my absence, I think I have written the dirtiest, smuttiest chapter that I have ever written! I hope you enjoy it and remember to let me know what you think!

Somewhere in my very sleep deprived night I made my decision, I had potions in the afternoon tomorrow and intended to go. I refuse to let Severus’ bad attitude and lack of emotional control ruin my grade and my chances at becoming an auror after I graduate next year. 

So the next afternoon, I sauntered my way to the dungeons with Mari beside me. She was going on about her plans with Edwin at the weekend, and I nodded along to her description of their plans to walk by the Black Lake and have lunch at the Three Broomsticks. It does warm my heart to see how smitten they are with each other. I knew that once Edwin finally got the courage to tell her that they would end up together, not an official relationship yet…But it’s coming. 

We continued our chat until Severus began class. I had not so much as glanced in his direction since I trotted into the room and sat in my seat. I only glanced up when Severus cleared his throat to announce that he was ready to begin and we all needed to shut it. 

“Today you will be completing an examination…” He grabbed a stack of parchment from his desk and began walking around the room, placing the test in front of each person. “And you would be wise to heed this warning…If any of you utter so much as a word this examination will be marked as a T towards a major portion of your grade.” 

Well he was in a mood today, and I honestly wasn’t surprised by that considering his run in with Harry yesterday and then our fight afterward. I made sure when he stalked past me I didn’t look at him and when he smacked the test down on the wooden desk in front of me, like he had to everyone else and my heart twinged with a small amount of guilt before I remembered why I was angry with him and continued to scowl down at my quill. 

I glance over at Marigold who is scribbling on her parchment, her eyes flit up to mine and she gives me a ‘I wonder what crawled up his ass’ look. I just shrugged and looked back down at my test, doing my best to answer the questions that were much harder than usual and I internally rolled my eyes at his pettiness. 

The test took the entire class period to complete and by the end of the two hours everyone looked a bit worse for wear. Sweat dribbled down foreheads that were so red from being rubbed raw in frustration, robes were haphazardly worn and hair was sticking up in all directions. Usually people left Severus’s classroom in a hurry but the level of speed they left with today was beyond anything I had ever seen. 

After class was dismissed I waited for Marigold to pack her bag, still avoiding the gaze of the dungeon bat that I could feel on me. Mari and I were the last two in the classroom due to her spending an extra 10 minutes on the last question to make sure her answer was complete and she left out no steps for brewing liquid luck. She was smiling triumphantly as she walked over to Severus’s desk and laid her parchment on the top of the stack. 

Once she had made her way over we both turned to leave and I stopped cold when I heard his voice call out dismissively. 

“Astrill…Stay…” I turned around to face him but he wasn't looking up at us, he was still buried in whatever he was grading at his desk. 

I looked over at Mari who just shrugged, “Sorry Sir…” I hesitated for a second thinking of a good excuse as to why I wouldn't be able to stay behind to speak to him and I know he noticed because he looked up at me, and raised a disbelieving eyebrow. “I have a meeting with Professor Flitwick this afternoon, going over some advanced charms that I couldn't quite pick up on in class.” I huffed out a nervous laugh and he continued to stare at me, no doubt realizing that I was indeed not over his little outburst and I had no interest in speaking to him. 

“Very well…” Was all he said before he tilted his head towards his desk again and resumed scribbling. 

Mari and I walked toward the great hall together, we were meeting up with Edwin and heading to the library to study for our upcoming exams and Marigold and I both knew that Edwin was in desperate need of any help he could get. 

We were stopped in our tracks by a mob of students running from the great hall to the courtyard. So naturally, we followed them and were met with exploding fireworks of every color erupting into the sky and Fred and George Weasley flying through them on their broomsticks. 

The laughter and joy echoed through the courtyard and everyone seemed to have a new level of energy at the sight of a disheveled and slightly charred Umbridge trying to regain control of rowdy teenagers who were sick of her rules. I smiled over at Edwin who was clapping and cheering for Fred and George and that's when I saw him… 

Harry had fallen to his knees, I grabbed Edwin’s robe and pulled him with me through the crowd toward Harry. Hermione and I knelt beside him and he looked between us with a look in his eyes that was more than panic…It was absolute terror. 

“He’s got Sirius.” Was all he said before standing up and pushing through the crowd towards the entrance to the school. Hermione and I looked at each other, unsure of what we were going to do next, until we made the silent decision to follow after him which led to Ron and Edwin following us. 

“Harry, wait!” I called out as we rushed to the staircase. “How do you know You-Know-Who didn’t just put those images in your head to lure you into a trap?”

Harry looked beyond annoyed at the fact we were stopping him, turning toward us. “Am I just supposed to let him die? He is the only family I have left.” He was out of breath and the panic in his face made my heart ache for him. 

“How…Are…We going…To get…To him?” Edwin asked, trying desperately to catch his breath. 

Harry turned back towards the corridor the staircase had now changed to, “We are going to have to use the floo network.” 

“But Umbridge has all of the chimneys under surveillance.” Hermione countered. 

We followed Harry towards the common room. “Not all of them.” 

Once we were all changed from our robes and into normal clothing we made our way to Umbridge’s office, the obnoxious pink stones and the smell of sickly sweet perfume greeting us as we entered the room. 

Harry crouched by the chimney and we all gathered around him, “When I’m gone, alert the order if you can.” 

Ron, Hermione, Edwin and I all looked at each other quickly. “Are you mental? We’re going with you.” Ron stated matter of factly. 

“It’s too dangerous.” Harry countered. 

I sighed “Harry, you do realize at this point we are all in this mess together���.right?” 

“That. You. Are.” Her voice made us all turn around to the door quickly. Umbridge looked utterly in tatters, her pink outfit was burnt to a crisp and her face was covered in soot…And she looked utterly insane with rage. 

Her wand was pointed towards us and we knew not to try to fight her, we had to get to Sirius and we needed to play along as long as we could. Following behind as she entered the room was the group of stuck-up Slytherins who joined her little rat squad, their wands pointed at a few of our DA members. Luna, Neville, and Ginny as they forced them past Umbridge and towards the wall. 

After a few moments, the Slytherins were posted behind all of us with their wands pointing into whatever portion of our bodies they could reach. Harry, on the other hand, was planted in a chair with Umbridge circling him like an animal who has just found its prey. 

Her only thought was that we were all going to Dumbledore, to conspire against the ministry and overturn Fudge and his nonsense, it was quite comical actually but I was a bit too preoccupied with Pansy’s wand shoved into my spine to giggle at Umbridge’s hysteria. 

“You sent for me, Headmistress?” His black clothed form covered the doorway entirely and my blood ran cold. Severus thought I had disbanded from this little ‘trouble making group’ as he called it and now he was being asked to provide Umbridge with truth-telling serum to interrogate Harry, if he brought the potion…we are all screwed. 

His eyes searched the room and landed on me, I could see the rage building behind his emotionless expression…Shit. Shit. Shit. 

Severus of course offered to poison Harry but thankfully he informed Umbridge that she had indeed gone through his storage of veritaserum, which rendered him useless to her. 

He turned to make his way back down the stairs when he suddenly stopped and turned back around. “Headmistress…Finley and Astrill are due to serve detention with me this evening, seeing as they are in need of in addition to what they are already facing…Would you allow them to serve their punishment in the dungeons with me?” 

My heart leapt in my chest and I looked over at Edwin who was wide eyed. At this point, neither one of us knew if staying here would in fact be worse than going to the dungeons with Severus but when Umbridge agreed with a sneer on her face we knew we would soon find out. 

Severus said nothing until we entered the classroom, shutting and locking the door behind us with a flick of his wand. Turning to face Edwin and I who were planted side by side as close to the exit as we could possibly get in case we needed a speedy get away, Severus huffed out a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. 

“How idiotic can you be?” His voice was wavering and I could tell he was holding back anger. He took a deep breath before continuing. “Finley…You are meant to be her protector in my stead, how am I to trust you when you allow her into such ridiculous predicaments.” 

Edwin’s eyes narrowed. “I beg your pardon…I’m not sure if you actually know the same Aurora that I do because it didn’t matter what I said or how I said it…If she wants to do something, she is going to do it. So don’t go blaming me for not locking her away in her room against her will.” 

I looked at Edwin, my eyes bulging with surprise at his tone with Severus, who he was normally terrified of. Severus’ jaw tensed and he glared at Edwin. “Leave…Now…” He bit out and Edwin and I both turned to the door, my hand reaching to unlock the large iron lock when Severus spoke up again. 

“Not you my Little Star…” He took a few steps closer so he was now standing in the middle of the dimly lit room. “I believe we are overdue to have a discussion.” 

Edwin looked over at me, his eyes searching mine for an answer to if I was planning to stay or bolt from the room with him. In response I just nodded silently and turned to face Severus, giving Edwin room to unlock and open the door. My best friend turned and gave me one last look for reassurance before walking down the cold hallway, leaving me alone with a very angry Severus Snape. 

When the door slammed closed I jumped a little, turning to make sure it was locked because I knew this conversation was not going to be a pretty one. But to my surprise when I turned back around, Severus was directly in front of me. 

I inhaled, expecting the worst reprimand I had ever been given, but shock was all I was met with when Severus quickly cupped my face and pressed his lips to mine at an almost bruising rate. 

He continued to kiss me as he pushed me against the wooden door, his tongue invading my mouth as my arms circled his neck, trying desperately to bring him closer to me. The wetness pooled between my legs in anticipation of what's to come and my mind was fuzzy with lust. This was definitely not the reaction I was expecting from him but I’m not complaining.  

When he pulled away we were both breathing heavily and our lips were red and raw from the force of our kissing. My core clenched when he leaned down, his mouth ghosting against my ear. “Go to my bedroom and take off your clothes. You’d better be bending over my bed when I get in there.” I nodded silently and he tsked, gripping my jaw in his hand “Now now Little Star, is that the proper way to address me?” I gulped, I could feel my wetness soaking through my knickers at his demanding tone…So this is how he wants to play? 

“Yes sir.” He smiled darkly and pecked my nose. 

“Good girl…Now. Go.” I bolted out of the classroom and through the door to his private chambers, removing clothing as I went, and by the time I reached his room I was left in my black knickers and bra. I didn’t wear them on purpose, they are just comfortable so I guess it's just good luck for Severus that his favorite color is black and he will likely be tearing these off of me. 

I do ask he asks and lay on the bed, my torso is laying on the bed and my feet are still planted on the cold stone floor, my rear facing the doorway so it will be the first thing Severus sees when he enters the room and the anticipation for what's to come has be rubbing my thighs together trying to relieve the ache that is settling in my center. 

I could hear his footsteps echoing down the short hall and my stomach tightened when they stopped abruptly in the doorway. He approached me quickly, grabbing my ass with both of his hands and squeezing quickly before releasing. Those magnificent hands ran up my body until one of them landed in my hair at the base of my neck, gripping tightly and pulling my upper half towards himself as he leaned forward and pushed his covered cock into my rear. 

“I am so looking forward to turning this beautiful bottom red with handprints.” He whispered in my ear, his unoccupied hand traveling back down my body to my hip and grinding his cock into my ass making me moan at the sensation. “Do you remember your safeword Little Star?” 

I panted out a hurried “Yes sir.” and he chuckled darkly releasing my hair. 

“Remind me of what it is, won’t you Precious?” 

“Slytherin…Sir.” I moaned when I felt his hands gently pull my underwear down. 

“Good girl.” Was all the response he gave before I felt the hard sting of his hand on my ass. I squealed at the force of the slap and he chuckled. 

“When you make a promise to me…” Another slap. “I expect you to keep it.” 

“I’m sorry!” I gripped onto the duvet as his hand came down again, despite the pain of the spanking he was giving me, my core wept for him and he knew it. 

“It’s a bit too late for that.” Slap. Slap. Slap. 

I counted 15 smacks before he finally felt that I had been sufficiently punished and rubbed a soothing hand over my bottom, slowly making his way down to my now drenched core. 

“My my…You enjoyed that didn’t you?” He ran his fingers through my dripping folds, my breathing picking up with anticipation. “I would normally give you my fingers as preparation for my cock…But I don’t think you are deserving of it.” 

I whined when his fingers left my heated flesh and returned to my legs, bending them at the knee and propping them on the bed so I was spread out for him completely. I screamed into the duvet when he rammed his cock into my pulsing heat, my hands gripping the fabric so tightly my knuckles were turning white from the force. I assumed he had wordlessly used magic to remove his clothing but at the current moment I was too preoccupied to care about how, all I cared about was the fullness I know felt inside me and the brutal pace he set without so much as giving me time to adjust to his size. His hips pistoned into me while his hands gripped my hips, keeping me from pulling away from his relentless thrusting. 

“S-Severus…” I moaned, I felt my core clenching as I teetered on the edge of ecstasy. 

The sound that left my mouth when his thrusts stopped was almost primal, my body bucking into his trying to regain some type of friction to pull back the feeling of release that was slowly fading to nothing. 

“Did you really think you were going to get release that quickly?” His voice was rough and gritty as he pulled out of me almost like it was more torture for him than me. “Oh my darling Little Star, you are going to wish you had kept your promise to me.” 

“Please Sir, I need you to fuck me.” 

“Is that so?” He taunted, rubbing his head down the length of my slit teasingly. “Lie against the headboard and spread your legs.” 

I hurried to do as he instructed, my head now resting against the pillows and my legs spread enough to leave him room to crawl between them. Once he was settled between my legs, he flicked his wrist and i felt the rough fiber of ropes slither their way around my ankles, tying my legs in place so I was powerless against him. 

“I quite enjoy you like this…Spread out for me to take…To pleasure…” He leaned down and took my nipple in his mouth, sucking roughly on the hard peak before releasing it. “To punish…” 

My eyes rolled back into my skull when he entered me again, this time slowly thrusting in and out of me. Slow enough that I could feel every vain and ridge of his hard cock gliding against my sensitive walls. My hands flew to his shoulders, scratching his sallow skin with my nails as he fucked me into oblivion. 

“More…Please” I was pleading with him, my legs beginning to shake with my building climax. If he would just go a little faster, just fuck me a little harder….

Thankfully for me, he decided he was done torturing me and rammed into my sopping pussy, his pace was now relentless and brutel again and I pushed my head against the pillows. My feet pulled against the ropes, trying to break free to wrap my legs around his waist. I knew I was going to have rope burns but at this point I was beyond the point of caring. 

“Are you going to lie to me again?” He asked, his voice strained as he continued to thrust into me. 

I shook my head furiously. “N-no s-sir.” I stuttered, trying my best to talk through the pleasure. 

“Good girl. Now you had better soak my cock with your cum before I decide to stop and send you back to your dormitory unsatisfied and dripping wet.” 

That was all it took for my orgasm my rip through my body, vision turning white as my walls clenched around him causing him to erupt with a loud moan. 

Severus collapsed on top of me, trying to catch his breath and lazily flicking his hand to release my ankles from the ropes. My hands circled his neck and I hugged him tightly as we both basked in the after-effects of an incredible orgasm. His breathing slowed after a few moments before he lifted his head and looked me in the eyes. 

“Spend the summer with me Aurora?”

Aw thanks :') Syril already making friends

Mal sounds really cool tho. I'm not that well-versed in the deeper lore since I've never been a huge fan of DND itself (i've tried playing it a couple times and just never liked the rules. i even mod most of the rules out of bg3 whoops) but from what i DO understand, love him. Gives me the "we do crazy things when we're in love" vibe but also maybe he just does crazy things which is so valid.

Also really do appreciate the different take on AA! I think it is kinda hard to ignore some of the canon dialogue the game presents, that Astarion sees the relationship as ur character demeaning themselves and that he has no intention of ever turning your character into a true vampire/wants to keep them as a spawn forever. BUT it is an RPG and we can do whatever we want so I absolutely can see both angles on this, that perhaps he's doing this from a place of love.

That was kinda how I saw the bad ending of Syril & Astarion going for the triple A like - they've both been through some bad shit (and Syril's backstory has some pretty rough stuff in it too so obviously xD) and going this route turns them into literally an unstoppable force. the culmination of the "you can't hurt me every again" trope. And especially as you've laid it out, it's really hard not to see that there's definitely some love mixed in there.

I will say i definitely don't think Ascension changes Astarion at all. I think his decision is all about what parts of him to bring to the surface. Was actually having a convo with my friend the other day about like—why wasn't it an option for Astarion to just become a true vampire. Why was it either stay a spawn or Ascend, and that's really the major player there. Becoming a true vampire would have been too middle ground, and Astarion doesn't do anything halfway. He's either going to Do It (Ascend) or Not Do It (Spawn); these are both parts of him and it's just a matter of what part he decides to embrace. I see Ascension about him deciding to protect himself and create his own world, the only people welcome are those he invites, and staying a Spawn is about vulnerability, where he decides to lean on others instead. He really is such an interesting character it drives me up a wall.

Very informative all around 10/10

that being said i'd love to continue chatting!! whether dms or discord or whatever, just shoot me a message and lemme know :')

It's interesting to read people's headcanons about Ascended Astsrion and a romanced Tav because I've never even thought about it. If Astsrion ascends, Syril becomes the Absolute. That's what we call too bad idiots enabling each other instead of helping.

Lich-Queen pt 2

Read pt 1 here

At the ground floor, the guests were already thronging. Vampire nobles sipped goblets of blood, chatting idly with the few fae that deigned to grace my crowning with their presence. Shapeshifters mingled with the Chosen emissaries of the gods. Even a small contingent of elves lurked mistrustfully in a corner, though there was not a human in sight.

I approached the elves, casting a slight glamour to obscure my fiendish appearance. It would not do to frighten them off, after all. “Hello, distinguished guests,” I said in Syvniqian, their native tongue. I had brushed up on my linguistics during those long, lonely nights whilst my sister flirted in court, and it finally paid off.

The lead elf, resplendent in a museli veil and robe-dress, long braid trailing the floor, said, “We appreciate the invitation, Lich-Queen. It is a rare honour to witness the rising of a new star. We are Saivere, Vice-Councilman of Sylvandor.”

My smile must have slipped when I heard that they only bothered to send the Vice-Councilman, for Saivere quickly added, “We mean no offense, Lich-Queen. Head-Councilwoman Naibara is currently with child, and she cannot undertake the journey to these lands.”

I forced a smile back onto my face. This was not the Ceredellian court, I reminded myself sternly. These people did not shun me for being low-born, for having not-quite-human features or a far more beautiful sister. When they said they meant no offense, they did not lie.

Nodding, I exchanged pleasantries with the rest of the delegation, before extricating myself. I could not show favouritism as a host, naturally. 

Oh, by Astril, I was a host at a court party! It gave me a thrill, and I wanted to giggle like a little girl, which was a most undignified look on a powerful Lich-Queen. 

I had to quickly cover it when a shapeshifter approached me. The shifter wore the body of an angel, wings the colour of salmon, hair twisted into a bun, and seemed vaguely masculine. He smiled and bobbed his head in a small bow. “Our leader politely requests your attention. She would like to speak to you regarding some international matters,” he said.

I nodded. “Thank you,” I told the shifter, turning to follow him through the hall. “Might you tell me what I may call you?”

Names were a touchy business, I had found, especially amongst inhumans. Elves, by and large, tolerated the use of their name by an equal or superior, but shifters and spirits were extremely prickly about the matter, often insisting on going by titles and nicknames instead. 

The shifter paused and titled his head to a side. “Ya know, I haven't quite thought about it,” he said, a hint of an accent creeping into his voice. “I was thinking Hashbrown, perhaps. Or Chocolate-cookie. Or maybe Cake. I do love human foodstuffs.”

I barely hid my wince. It was hard to tell a shifter's age, what with the whole shapeshifting, but this one? Yeah, he was a kid. And nobody, not even a kid, deserved to be saddled with a name like Cookie. At the same time… It was hilarious.

Amusement won over kindness, and I said, “Why, I am certain a powerful shifter warrior named Cake would shake fear into the hearts of any human who heard it,” I said wryly. “By the time you are fully grown, the mere mention of chocolate will frighten children into silence.”

“Ya really think so?!” He beamed at me. “My sis’ always tol' me I'd be a fool to call myself that. I'm so glad she was just teasin' me. Oh, thank you so much!” He briefly moved to embrace me, then remembered who I was and backed off, hand kept by his sides, though his wings were all aflutter.

The sudden breach of decorum should have irritated me, but it didn't. It made me feel slightly bad about messing with this overly-earnest kid. “I advise something like Brown, or Cho, however. Just to keep things subtle,” I suggested, trying to minimise the damage I was doing to this kid's credibility.

The shifter considered my words. Then a smile lit up his face. I meant that quite literally. In fact, he rather glowed, attracting curious glances. “Hash,” he announced. “You can call me Hash.”

“Sure, Hash,” I replied, smiling slightly. “Please, lead the way.”

He marched off towards the back of the hall, and I followed, appreciating how my guests moved aside to let me pass. I had always been the one doing the moving, in the past. They bowed and scuttled, my ghouls mingling amongst them, holding trays of hor d'oeuvres. Idly, I plucked one and put it in my mouth, savouring the explosion of salty roe.

The shifters were lounging in a corner, their leader a tall woman with the claws of a Lich and the greying skin of a ghoul. She rose when I approached, her mouth spreading into a sepulchral grin. “It is an honour to witness your coronation, Lich-Queen. Such an honour, that I have taken a Lich-form to honour your people,” she explained. “I hope I have done it justice.”

Looking at the gems encrusted on her high cheekbones and those eyes like shards of diamond, I could only say, “You have.” 

She was beautiful, with her long limbs and elegant toga. Suddenly, I felt like an awkward girl-child, struggling to stitch cloth whilst my sister was given lessons by the High Magician. Useless. Ugly. Unwanted. 

I shook my head and dropped my human guise. “I appreciate the effort,” I said, taking control of my tongue. “Now, what was the matter you wished to speak with me about?”

The shifter spread her hands and smiled. “This is the first gathering of inhumans in millennia. I hoped to ask you to call a meeting of us immortals. I have a… Proposal, of sorts. One that might be impolite to be mentioned in the presence of our elven siblings.”

I nodded, and tapped the sides of my face in the shifter gesture of agreement. “Certainly. If I may know what the matter is first, of course.” It would not do for them to surprise me before my new allies.

The shifter reciprocated my movements, and said, “We would like to suggest an alliance of all the immortals — to band together and reclai-”

The doors slammed open. I startled, missing the rest of the shifter's words. “Welcome Her Majesty, the Third Spirit Empress! The great Sucsu'anane No-clan has arrived,” Blood-toil, my doorman, announced, halting all conversation within the room.

Empress Sucsu'anane stood in to the fore, and… Well, I hated to say it, but she looked like a little girl playing at Queen. Her crown barely reached Blood-toil's elbow, and he was not a tall ghoul. Her eyes were wide and doll-like, their effect only exacerbated by her oversized dress, which spilled onto the floor. “Hello, sisters,” she said with an atrocious accent, pronouncing her ‘r’s like ‘e’s. “It is I.”

Hello could you write a story where Dan heng is married to a woman who is from an extremely endangered race known as Ali and they managed to have a daughter with the Ali's special technique but when their daughter turns 10 just after the events that took place on the Xianzhou Loufu the readers mother is kidnapped by the stellaron hunters and that night the reader was about to sneak out to look for her mother and hopefully save her but Dan Heng interrupted and it turns out that they had the exact same intentions but Dan Heng was a little worried because his daughter is still young and he was hesitant to let her come especially if Blade was involved and he also didn't want the Trailblazer, March, or Mr yang to get involved in family matters like this but they insisted on coming. (If this is too much that's completely understandable and I wish you a good day/afternoon and or night😊)

It's fine.

It's been a week since your mother was taken by the Stellaron Hunters.

You aren't sure why they would have taken your mother, perhaps because she was a full blooded Ali? Sure Ali's were a rare race and their technology was very advanced, Your birth was proof of that since your father's race was apparently unable to have children, but Mother was the most protected Alis around since she was a member of the Astrel Express.

Or maybe it was because of her being father's wife? You remember both of your parents warning you to run away if a black-haired and red-eyed man named Blade who was a Stellaron Hunter cames near you due to him wanting to hurt your father for whatever reason.

No matter what the reason is you'll save.

You pack the last of the tools that you needed on your journey before picking up the technology-advanced spear that your mother and father had given you after your 9th birthday.

Carefully you tiptoed out to where your door was before carefully opening it up and looking out for anyone before giving a sigh of relief and opening it completely and stepping out.

“What are you doing?”

You jumped at the sound of your father's voice before looking to where he was hidden by your door and looking down at you with a frown on his face.

“Should ask the same?” You asked as you noticed the backpack on his shoulder.

He kept looking at you as you did the same before you cracked first.

“I'm going to save mother.” You admitted as you looked away.

“No, you will not.”

You snapped your gaze back to his stern ones and glared at him.

“I am, I know you are doing the same. And I refuse to sit here and do nothing!” You angrily told him.

Father knelt down and placed his hands on your shoulders.

“I know you're worried about your mother but I promise I'll come back to the Astrile Express with her.” He told you.

“I…I know that that's what you want to happen, but…but what if that dosen't happen and the both of you don't come back?! I don't want to be left behind when I could have done something to help!” You nearly shouted as tears began to gather in your eyes and fall down your cheeks.

Your father's eyes widen at your tears. You had rarely if ever cried before, having always been a hard-to-hurt girl. So for you to be crying meant this was something you really wanted to do.

Your father looked to the ground in deep through before opening his mouth.

“Aw come on Dan Heng! Bring her along with us!”

The both of you turned to see Auntie March smiling from the parlor room opening the door large enough that Auntie Himiko, Uncle Yang, and Caelus/Stella were there behind her.

“No, and you guys aren't coming either. You shouldn't be involved in this.” Father said sternly to her.

“We can't just have you go off alone now, can we? (Mothers Name) is an important member of the Astral Express just as the two of you are so of course we will be saving her too.” Auntie Himiko said smiling.

“That’s right. Even if she wasn't a member I rather not see what the Stellaron Hunters could do with Ali’s technolog. Uncle Yang informed them.

Caelus/Stella just nodded to what was said.

Father took a deep breath before releasing it as he stood up.

“Fine. Let's go save her. All of us.” He said as he put his hand out for you to place yours in.

You didn't even hesitate as you did just that.

We'll see if I can access Tumblr while in China

So I'll be off to Chengdu, China from midnight to September 4th or so. Now assuming all goes well with the flight I have Astrill VPN but I'm not sure whether China will crack down on all VPNs for whatever reason. If that's the case, yeah. There's going to probably be radio silence for a month.

So a couple things. I'll probably still be updating my fic on FF.net if that's not blocked. Assuming I have time to write it of course. There's also the good old LOTR fanatics plaza where you can find rough drafts of my fanfic. I'll be posting there too assuming that's not blocked.

And well hopefully the worst doesn't come to pass. I'll check in if the VPN works. If not, wait til September. If I don't post something on here on at least September 6th then that's a really bad sign.

Toodles!

Unlikely Affection Chapter 13: What Just Happened?**

I ran down the empty corridor, slowing only when I had reached Severus. “Professor Snape.” I panted and he stopped walking and glanced over his shoulder at me. “Could I have a word with you?” I asked as seriously as I could while trying to catch my breath.

Severus looked around the hallway, making sure there were no people in sight. “Do you not think you have said enough?” He was flat as he spoke and I couldn't blame him with how I acted earlier.

“I’m not asking as your…whatever. I am asking as your student assistant.” I whispered and he nodded in the direction of the spiral staircase leading down to the dungeons “After you.” I thanked him and made my way to his office door.

After he opened it, I stepped in and he followed. Swishing his wand to close the door at the same time as he took a seat at his desk.

“What is it that you would like to discuss, Miss Astrill?” I looked at him a bit confused by him using formalities while we were alone and I think he must have seen my demeanor change and he spoke up again. “Are we not having this meeting in the capacity of teacher/student?” I nodded and he gestured to the chair in front of his desk.

I took a seat and inhaled deeply, “Firstly, I want to apologize for my conduct this afternoon. I was frustrated and I know that is no excuse but I should not have spoken to you in that manner both as my professor and my…companion?.” His face showed no emotion so I decided to continue speaking. “While I was meeting with Professor McGonagall earlier, she said it might be possible for you to take my job as your assistant into account, and that may get you to reconsider your decision.” He crossed his arms over his chest and cocked an eyebrow.

“Are you quite finished?” He spoke firmly and my heart sunk, mentally preparing myself for him to tell me no…again.

I nodded and he huffed. “I spoke with Minerva at dinner. She has also asked me to reconsider my decision…She seems to think you are capable of the strenuous coursework. So I have decided to reconsider… If, and only if you make perfect marks on every test until the end of term…Will I allow you into my N.E.W.T class.” My heart skipped a beat and I smiled at him, we only had three tests left and I knew with my study habits, I would ace them with no problem.

I was more than happy with the fact that he was willing to let me into the class, but I had to just make sure that he wasn’t changing his mind because of the fact we are sleeping together. “Not that I am not incredibly grateful that you chose to reconsider, because of course, I am…But I can't help but to ask, this isn't because of us, is it?” I waved my hand between the two of us, “That decision would not cause any problem with us… at least on my part, even though I was angry earlier…It was more at you as my teacher than as my…you know.”

“Well, that's a relief.” I sighed and leaned back in the chair. “Could we stop speaking so professionally now?” I asked and he smiled for the first time.

He scoffed “No, that decision had nothing to do with our relationship. Minerva convinced me to reconsider, it had nothing to do with this conversation in the slightest. I had already made my decision before you insisted on this ‘meeting’.”

Severus stood from his chair and walked around his desk, stopping when he was standing in front of me. He held out his hand and when I took it, he pulled me from my chair and held me close to him. I relaxed into his embrace and wrapped my arms around his middle, squeezing him slightly. “I am sorry for how I acted this afternoon,” I mumbled into his chest. He kissed the top of my head,

“You are very predictable Little Star, I knew you would be angry with me after your meeting with Minerva…It was just a matter of when you would burst through my door.”

“Would you let me make it up to you?” I asked, looking up at him through my eyelashes.

He raised an eyebrow, “And how exactly do you intend to do that?”

I played with the buttons of his cassock and raised myself on my toes so I could whisper in his ear, “Sit down at the desk and I’ll show you.” I finished my statement by nibbling gently on his earlobe.

He groaned but complied and walked over to his chair, taking a seat and staring at me.

I walked over to him and knelt down so I was situated between his legs. His head fell back when I ran my hands from his knees to his thighs, squeezing his growing hardness through his trousers.

“I've thought about this, you know.” I winked at Severus as I pulled him out of the confines of his dark woolen trousers. “Hiding under your desk while you grade parchments, relieves some of your…stress.” I wiggled my eyebrows and licked a long stripe from the base of him to the tip. His thighs tensed and his teeth pressed together with a hiss.

“You are going to be the death of me–.” Whatever he was going to say was cut off when I took him fully into my mouth, hollowing my cheeks and sucking him like my life depended on it. His hand flew to my hair and he tangled his fingers through my dark tresses. I knew that Severus being as closed off as he was, this would probably not going to be a regular occurrence so I decided to completely blow his mind while I had the chance.

I continued to suck him, his quiet groans were the most erotic thing I have ever heard. His hand tightened around my hair and I could tell by the way he was thrusting his hips up to meet my mouth that he was close so I doubled down my efforts. I took him so deeply into my mouth that his tip hit the back of my throat and I moaned around him, creating a sexy vibration around his cock.

“So close.” He muttered, “Good girl, don’t stop…” He trailed off with a groan. It only took a few more passes up and down his manhood before he gripped my hair tightly and exploded down my throat with a low growl. I, of course, swallowed every last drop and pulled away, smiling up at him.

“Consider yourself forgiven.” He smirked once he caught his breath.

***The Final Task***

“Jellybean!” My grandfather yelled in my direction as I tried and failed to pass the section of stands where the teachers and ministry officials were seated.

I gripped Edwins' arm tightly, “He is just going to yell it again…It is best that you just go sit with him.” He whispered and I groaned, looking towards the stands where my grandfather was sitting. My heart leaped when I noticed who he was sitting beside…My dungeon bat.

Edwin and I broke away and I walked up the wooden stands to greet my grandfather. “There is my Jellybean!” He enveloped me in his large arms. When he finally released me he gestured to the seat beside Severus. “Sit! Before the festivities start, tell me about your exams!”

I sat down in the empty seat beside Severus and my grandfather took his seat on the other side of me. “Exams went well…O’s and E’s all around.” I smiled at my grandfather and his face lit up with pride. I always did revel in that as a child. When I would do something that made him proud, his chubby, bearded face swelled with the biggest smile and his eyes lit up as though I was the most special thing in the world.

I was continuing my talk with my grandfather and trying my best not to acknowledge Severus beside me. However, the fact that Granddad was insisting on using my childhood nickname so much was starting to embarrass me to no end. “I don’t want to hear a word about this later,” I said mentally, hoping my lover was listening in on my thoughts which he was because he smirked subtly.

After a few moments of catching up, it was time for the task to start. The crowds cheered for their favorite champions until Dumbledore amplified his voice with his wand, encouraging us all to be silent. After explaining the task, the cannon was shot and the champions began their trek into the dark maze.

Granddad spent most of the time we were sitting around waiting for one of the champions to appear talking to the Minister for Magic about the annual summer gala we would be throwing. I sat in silence, every once in a while sending Severus a message in my head, and in return, he would throw me acknowledgments to whatever I said that were so subtle anyone else would miss them.

We sat for almost two hours until something happened…Harry appeared and the crowds erupted with cheers which were killed quickly when everyone realized that Harry wasn't alone. He had apparated back with the body of Cedric Diggory.

My grandfather stood quickly, rushing down the stairs to the landing where Harry was clutching Cedric’s body and sobbing hysterically. I was already standing when I felt Severus’ hand on my arm, applying enough pressure, I knew he wanted me to stay where I was.

Edwin ran over to me through the sea of people, he looked pale and terrified. “What happened?” I asked when he released me from the hug. “Harry said ‘you know who’ is back…That he is the one that killed Cedric and Harry escaped.”

My grandfather ran to me, enveloping me in a bone-crushing hug. “Granddad, is it true? Is he back?” I asked and he just shushed me quietly. He pulled away and kissed my forehead, “I will explain everything when you are home and safe. For now, go back to the castle where it is safe.” I nodded

Edwin and I walked to the castle together, the realization that ‘He who must not be named’ was back and now the possibility of a second wizarding war being on the horizon had everyone shaken and the walk to the back to the castle was silent even with the multitude of students traveling at the same time…eerily silent.

Edwin and I made our way down the stands. I knew I needed to talk to Severus, I looked for him as the stands started to clear but he was nowhere to be found. I decided that I would go to him in the morning, he would probably be in Dumbledore’s office all night discussing what to do since a student died.
