INTRODUCTION AND RULES

Intro:

Hello. Call me White Rider or some variation of it. I am here to write x reader headcanons. Ask box is always open for non requests.

Masterlist

Discord server

Rules:

-up to 3 characters per request but please do try to not request the max amount every time

-even if you request a gender for the reader it probably won't come up so if you're reading through my post and see a request with a gender it's probably still gender neutral

-don't make the reader too detailed or try to insert them into a lore significant position that'd force me to re-arrange a lot of stuff

-don't request non canon stuff that would require me to do too much worldbuilding and explaining

-no smut but I will write about violence and other non-sexual nsfw topics

-no incest

-no weird stuff

-don't reference things you aren't sure I'm familiar with

-no yandere

Fandom specific rules:

Blazblue

I write for most of the female cast. Only male character I could write for is maybe Ragna but only if the prompt was really good.

Tsukihime/Melty Blood

I have only played the original game so don't ask for remake related things. I write for the main 5 heroines but I'd be open to writing for other characters if there was an interest. For how I write the main 5 see notes.

Fate

Only played Stay Night so I write only for girls from there (Saber, Rin, Caster). Sakura requests are open but will be held until I finish Heaven's Feel. Medusa is not requestable until I play a bit of Hollow Ataraxia. Might write for Archer if the prompt is good enough. I have watched Zero if that's relevant to something you want though.

[nasuversekinkmeme]

Prompt Spotlight: pages 6-10

Prompts from the first five pages of this blog which, to my knowledge*, have not been filled.

*I’m doing this from memory, I might have missed a fill or two. If there’s a prompt here that has already been filled, well, give it another fill.

TSUKIHIME

FATE/HOLLOW ATARAXIA

Caren and human Angra fluff, they're extremely weird but also somehow cute

Happy Nesta week everyone as my iPad is currently still broken I won't be able to draw like I had wanted to

But never fear for I shall write instead and add drawings later

So for the first prompt of @nestaarcheronweek Queen of Queens

enjoy this one-shot of a somewhat dark romance nessian Crescent City/Modern AU

Nesta's breath caught slightly as she looked at herself in the mirror she looked so.. different yet so the same it was truly terrifying.

The dress her mate had given her to wear was well beautiful it was a pitch black that faded into sliver and had red accents on the sleeves neckline and middle.

it was a sweetheart neckline (she found it a little less funny then her mate did) with detached sleeves and the dress went almost All the way to her feet stoping a few inches higher.

Of course her mate hadn't only supplyed the dress for her to wear but the the red gemed jewelry she was currently wearing as well as bright and and glowing as his own gemstones he wore.

She thought the ruby choker was a little much considering everyone would be able to see the tattoo on her back but she didn't complain it was pretty as well.

what she didn't really understand was the lack of head accessory her mate usually would provide a headband a pin or some other accessory for her hair or head.

but currently her head remind barren her hair down tonight at his request she wondered if he had somt planned probably it was in his nature.

Ataraxia sat at the side of the vanity as sharp and ready to be used as ever although she rarely used it her mate had said numerous times that she shouldn't have to dirty her pretty hands.

he said things like that a lot that she deserved to not want for anything to not have to do anything she didn't want to that she should be taken care and worshipped.

And taken care of and worshipped she was her mate made sure of it everyone who worked for him knew who she was and how she was to treated with respect and loyalty just like he was.

he absolutely showered her in gifts Ataraxia having been one of them he had said the sword was made specially for her and her magic and when she had given it it's name he had smiled and kissed her breathless.

Gods above was it easy for him to turn her into a non-functioning mess with just a simple kiss or a few words his habit of calling everything about her whether it be her eyes her hands or even her mind pretty would be the death of her.

but gods she loved it how easily he could turn her into a dazed mess in or out of the bedroom how easily he could make her shatter again and again until she couldn't take anything more.

and how gentle he was as he did whispering praise and kind words as he took care of during and after.

Oh but Nesta didn't forget she had the same affect on him as he did her she could ask anything of him and he would do it even get on his knees and worship her like a goddess anything for her his lady his queen.

The door to the bedroom opened and in he came within seconds he was behind her and burying his face in her neck as he liked to do.

"Hello Sweetheart" He said breath tickling her neck and making her shudder "Cassian" She breathed her voice quiet and and high.

Cassian chuckled lowly and nipped lightly at her neck with his teeth leaving his mark on it and making Nesta moan softly.

Her repeated the action and pulled away from her neck looking at her through the mirror "Look at you my beautiful girl" He said his voice low and dark.

Nesta felt her stomach tighten up as he cupped her cheeks with both of his large calloused palms "You are perfection" He said leaning forward placing a small light kiss on her forehead "So very beautiful" He continued his soft whisper making the tiniest shivers run down Nesta's spine "My Nesta" he whispered voice full of adoration.

Nesta breathed in deep inhaling his scent as she leaned into his touch "Your Nesta" She whispered back.

Cassian smiled and placed a hand under her chin turning her towards him tilting her chin so he can gaze into her eyes "You are mine my queen" he whispered his tone soft and deep.

"Yes" Nesta Breathed "And tonight" Cassian Said "Everyone will know it" "Everyone Will know your mine my mate my lady my queen" he said voice low and dark as he spoke

He leaned forward pressing his lips to hers once before pulling away "Shall we go?" He Asked his voice still low "they'll be expecting us" Nesta nodded and Cassian took her hand in his.

They left their room with Nesta trailing behind her mate as he made his way out of their room and down the stairs to the front room of the house.

As they arrived Nesta saw her parents walking in together with a large group of people who were either their friends or strangers she couldn't tell.

Nesta squeezed Cassian's hand in nervousness and he pulled her to his side "It's alright sweetheart" he said voice gentle and calm as he squeezed her hand.

they made their way over to the giant table in the middle of the room where her sisters and their mates already sat Nesta did a once over and paused when she looked at the head of the table

Rhys and Feyre were sat next to each other as expected as where Elain Azriel and Gywn Amren and Mor sat opposite Rhys and Cassian's chair was empty as expected but

But next to Cassians chair was another chair identical to his and as Nesta scanned the table again she realized the chair that usually sat next to Feyre's and was where Nesta would sit was gone.

Nesta swallowed hard her heart beating against her ribs rapidly as she tried to figure out what was going on.

Cassian wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her close to his side protectively "Are you cold my love?"

"No" Nesta said no at the table seemed to find anything amiss but Nesta brain could not figure out what was happening until Cassian lead her right to chair that was identical to his.

Nesta took a deep breath "Who's sitting here?" She asked quietly trying not to be loud enough to alert anyone near by.

Cassian gave her a look that read 'Really?'

Nesta gave him a pout he wasn't being very nice.

Cassian Chuckled darkly at her expression "You are sweet girl" he said Nesta's eyes widen slightly "W-what" she stammered quietly.

She hadn't heard him correctly or he was just joking or something because no way did he just say the seat was for her but no she hadn't heard him wrong his voice was low and rumbling with affection as he told her this.

"This is your seat my Queen" He said kissing the top of her head "Now sit" he leaned down to whisper in her ear "Or do I need to pick you up and put you in it myself" he said.

Nesta squeaked at the idea of such an event and immediately sat down and folded her hands into her lap as her mate took his seat next to her.

Cassian reached over and took her hand and began rubbing it as he started talking to the others at the table Nesta looked over at Feyre and her sister gave her a warm smile.

Nesta smiled back but didn't move her hand she was too busy listening intently to Cassian telling all of them how proud he was and how perfect she looked.

"Thank you" She whispered looking up at him, he gave her a reassuring nod squeezing her hand.

dinner was brought out and everyone bagen eating about an half an hour later later Cassian stood up and declared her has something to announce.

just then an attendant came around the the table and placed a medium sized box in front of Nesta before bowing and walking away.

Nesta looked around table confused and heart going a mile a minute she caught Feyre's eye who was smiling like the cat that got the canary

she looked at her mate then at the box and back to her mate again she was so confused she felt like brain was going to explode trying to figure it out.

Cassian grinned at her "Open it sweetheart" he said Nesta nodded lightly and obeyed opening the wooden box to reveal what was inside

Nesta swears her heart stops as opens it fully a crown there's a crown in the box sat comfortably atop a plush pillow Nesta feels like she's losing it as Cassian comes over takes the crown out and gently puts it atop her head

"Mine" he all but growls when he's finished putting it on her head and placing his hand over her heart "You belong to me now only me now and always and forever and ever and ever"

He said "you belong to me" "I belong to you" He added "Always and Forever"

Nesta Nodded speechless and suddenly Cassian had his sword in hand and she shivered at his next words "You are my Mate My Wife" "But also My queen my equal in every and any way their is" he said voice dark

"You will reign by my side until we take our last breaths" her continued"No one will question your relation to me or your role" his voice dropped and and Nesta shivered "and if they do" He stopped a second longer "Then they are dead." He finished "Dead like those who dared disrespect you by questioning the right of someone who is meant to be by my side"

With that Cassian took her and and Sat back down as everyone at the table started clapping and cheering and chanting his name along with Nesta as he lifted her hand to his lips pressing them to her knuckles

"Nesta" He whispered his voice deep, hot and passionate "my queen."

he smiled down at her as she blushed and bowed her head "You are so beautiful and amazing"

Cassian held her hand tighter

And Nesta realized right then and there that she belonged to this man and he belonged to her and nobody else.

not even the Gods were allowed to have her and she was perfectly ok with that.

I hope you liked it everyone sorry if there are any errors I'm trusting docs spell checking on this so I hope it's okay

Anyway see you all later today for day two

[gold-onthe-inside]

so, quick fic updates for the rest of this week, hemkarlek will be out on the 5th, hey december on the 6th, ataraxia on the 7th, and tongue-tied on the 8th (summaries are on my masterlist) and all will be out at 5pm IST. i love all the requests i've gotten so far <3

[ddarker-dreams]

I really like how in Ataraxia the reader told xiao to get rid of the birds and from what I remember and I could be wrong xiaos true form is a bird  I don’t know if that was intentional but I thought it was funny :))

it was intentional!!! there are times when a comment points out something in a story of mine that's really cool and i'm like, yeah haha i totally did that on purpose aha (i did not do it on purpose). fortunately, that isn't the case for this detail .

there were a few reasons why i picked the birds for reader's request, one being how they traditionally symbolize freedom, the second had to do with his true form. reader doesn't actually know about it but xiao can't help but be like :< oh after hearing that. it's as if she's intuitively rejecting another aspect so closely related to him.

absolutely no one is having a good time in ataraxia.

[written-in-the-stars3]

ataraxia

fandom: ensemble stars

characters/pairing: sakuma rei/sakasaki natsume

words: 2,365

summary:

It’s about keeping a calm mind. Surround yourself in an environment that makes you feel at ease.

Something like this? Sitting up on a hilltop, watching the beautiful sight of the town illuminating in the distance. Spending time with the man sitting beside him, taking in his words of comfort and reassurance. Natsume felt at ease. 

Natsume finds himself in a slump trying to learn healing magic. Seeing him struggle, Rei offers to help him clear his mind a little bit

A/N: this is a commission I did for a friend last year and one I am still very proud of. hope you all enjoy!

ataraxia: a state of serene calmness.

‘What gives Sigils their power is the energy and intentions behind them. Keeping a clear and rational mind to enter a state of unconsciousness is vital-’

If only it was easier done than said. Natsume’s eyes scanned the text on the book, his gaze shifting to the Sigil drawn onto a single parchment. He had done everything the book had said, yet it felt like his efforts were wasted. 

Maybe he should have focused on an easier branch of magic— but he was persistent on sticking with this despite Shu reminding him how understudied it was. 

“Keep a clear and rational mind— how the fuck am I suppose to clear it any more than it already is!” 

“It doesn’t sound to me that your mind is all that clear.”

The sudden voice from behind him nearly made him jump out of his skin. “Sh-Shu-niisan!”

Shu could only shake his head, the other boy clearly seemed far too absorbed in despair to even notice him entering the room. He seemed flustered— probably from being called out like that.

“Are you having difficulty with your lesson?” Shu questioned as he looked over Natsume’s shoulder.

“Not at all! I have it all under control.” 

Natsume’s tone lacked surety and confidence which Shu did not seem convinced by— the older man sighed, glancing at the textbook opened on the wooden desk. Ah, right. His new lesson was on healing using Sigils. It wasn’t a branch of magic that Shu practiced but was familiar enough to teach Natsume who had taken interest in it. Undoubtedly it proved to be a challenge, mostly for Natsume but his determination did not die down the slightest bit. As long as he remained determined, Shu was more than willing to keep teaching him.

“We can go over the basics for this together again.” Shu offered, eyes scanning the text on the pages. It was simple enough (easy for him to say) but required patience and focus which might be what Natsume lacked. “But tomorrow. I have some friends coming over so I would suggest you take your studies to your room.”

Shu didn’t have the largest social circle so Natsume knew who those ‘some friends’ would be; Shinkai Kanata, hydromancer. Hibiki Wataru, eclectic. Lastly, Sakuma Rei, hemomancer… probably the reason that Shu requested for Natsume to stay up in his room.

Having deemed Rei to be a distraction, there was never really a moment where Shu would let them be alone. Despite the fact that they got along well and Natsume did not understand why Shu was so adamant on not letting them see each other— there was no doubt that Rei was a kind soul but along with being a mentor, Shu seemed to have taken on a big brother role too. Sometimes it could be a little overbearing but it was easier not to argue against it.

So when there was a knock at the door, Natsume quietly gathered his things to make his way upstairs as Shu went to answer the door. He could hear faint little voices from the doorway, Natsume catching a glimpse of a familiar dark haired man as he made his way up the old spiral staircase.

Sakuma Rei.

An odd but interesting person he was who for some reason seemed to have taken a liking to Natsume. The man in question noticed Natsume at the top of the staircase and gave him a small wave and his usual charming smirk— the redhead hugged the book tighter to his chest, feeling his heart thumping against it as he returned the wave.

Neither could get a verbal greeting out as Shu cleared his throat and nudged Rei to keep walking.

“I am going. No need to burst a blood vessel.” Natsume could hear Rei chuckle as he turned around to make his way over to his bedroom.

Sighing, he placed the book onto the wooden desk. Might as well get some studying done while he was up here. Maybe then he could show Shu that he was more than capable of learning this branch of magic.

☆

Natsume didn’t remember what time it was when he heard a faint little knock on his window. The curtains were down so he couldn’t make out who it was. Cautiously, he tiptoed over, pulling the curtain aside the slightest bit, his eyes going wide at the sight of Rei perched up on a branch just outside of his window.

“You do know that we have a functioning set of stairs and a door, right?” Natsume chuckled softly.

“I am aware, but Shu watches me like a hawk. I do not think it would be possible to sneak past him.” Rei answered with a playful smirk of his own.

“So instead you climbed up to my window? You’re either going to fall and crack your skull open, or Shu-niisan will see you and kill you himself.”

Rei laughed. “If it’s the latter then I most definitely would be a dead man. But if I fall then you can simply heal me. Is that not what you have been learning?”

A soft blush spread across Natsume’s cheeks— it seemed that Rei did notice and pay attention to things he would tell him. “ Trying to learn… Can’t say I am getting anywhere with it.” He sighed softly. “But anyways, did you need something from me?”

It was clear the stress Natsume was under no matter how hard he tried to mask it which was what brought Rei here in the first place. While Shu had his best interest in mind, there was no denying he could be a little too strict whenever it came to Natsume’s studies. 

“Indeed I needed something from you.” Rei answered and held out a hand which Natsume stared at confused. “I was wondering if you would like to accompany me on a little adventure.”

Natsume raised an eyebrow. “An adventure? Shu-niisan will have your head if he finds out about it.”

“Shu doesn’t have to find out, hence the sneaking out of your window.” What was he? A teenager having to sneak out of the house because his parents said he couldn’t see someone? Regardless of that, Natsume seemed almost convinced. “I heard you’ve been having a difficult time focusing. Take it as an opportunity to rejuvenate. There’s a spot I like to go to whenever I want to clear my head. I would love to show you.”

If Shu were to find out he would be seriously pissed at not only Rei but also Natsume— the number of times he had stressed that Natsume could not afford any sort of distraction from the branch of magic he had chosen to practice, he was definitely going to hear it from him later.

There was no denying that Natsume needed a change of scenery. So after thinking it over, Natsume grabbed his satchel, throwing it over his shoulder before resting his foot onto the windowsill, hopping onto the sturdy branch once Rei made some room for him.

“This better be worth it or else I am letting you take all the blame if Shu-niisan finds out about this.”

Chuckling, Rei started descending back down the tree. “I promise I will make it worthwhile.” 

 ☆

They walked for what felt like a half hour— it was a beautiful path, a little further into the forest and away from the town. Natsume had been curious about it ever since he moved to town, but Shu sought no interest in it or in allowing Natsume to explore it (warning him of potential dangers and such). 

The sun had started to set as well, their path getting darker with each passing moment with the exception of the moonlight lighting their way as they started ascending what seems to be a rather steep hill.

It was a bit of a walk and embarrassingly enough, Natsume found himself out of breath by the time they reached the top of the hill— yet all the exhaustion was forgotten the second his eyes fell on the sight in front of him.

The town. Their home. Seeing it in this perspective was an entirely new experience in itself. Everything looked so small, people hidden away and little lamp posts illuminating the little town. A little down the road, he could spot Shu’s home— the lights were on which meant Shu was definitely still awake and around. He wondered if he had noticed his absence.

“Come… take a seat.” Rei patted the spot on the grass beside him, already having made himself comfortable. As Natsume joined him by his side, he turned his attention back to the scenery in front of them. “I like to come here whenever I need to clear my mind. I was hoping that maybe you would find some use for it too.” 

The redhead fell silent as he hugged his knees to his chest. Was it really that obvious how bad he was struggling?

“Mastering any branch of magic does not happen overnight. You know that and so does Shu. I understand he can be a little strict with his tutoring, but he does not expect you to learn it all within the day.”

Arms tightened around his knees as Natsume rested his chin atop them, his gaze shifting back to Rei in wonder. 

“How long did it take you?”

“From when I started until now? Quite some time but even now I am still learning all the things I can do with it.” As he spoke, he reached under his coat to pull out what seemed to be a blade.

Using his teeth, he pulled off the glove covering his left hand— Natsume watching with pink-tinted cheeks as Rei opened the palm of his hand, dragging the blade along it as red liquid seeped through the new wound.

Before Natsume even had the chance to scold him for his actions, the little pool of blood began to glow before shooting up in thin strings of illuminating red, surrounding the two in a spiral— it was blood, yet it looked so beautiful. A bright neon red that one would not anticipate to be something that seeped from a man’s injury.

“Not too long ago I learned that there were even more uses for this power than I thought. I have been practicing this for many years now and even now there is still so much for me to discover.” He closed his eyes, shutting his palm as the spiral around them vanished in what seemed like thin air. Then he reached into his pocket, pulling out a plum handkerchief which he used to dab at the wound. “As you can see, healing is something that I still haven’t learned yet. It truly is very tricky, isn’t it? It's a little bit inconvenient when I want to try something out.”

“Tell me about it… I’ve been trying for a while. Apparently I’m not keeping a clear enough mind, whatever the hell that means.” Natsume sighed softly, eyes on the bloodstained handkerchief— maybe I could try… No, I don’t want to embarrass myself.

Smiling, Rei closed his palm shut to apply some pressure to the wound. “I have said this before, simply the act of clearing your mind can be the most challenging of them all. You want to surround yourself in an environment that makes you feel at ease. I believe it’s about keeping a calm mind. Not a clear mind.”

It’s about keeping a calm mind. Surround yourself in an environment that makes you feel at ease. 

Something like this? Sitting up on a hilltop, watching the beautiful sight of the town illuminating in the distance. Spending time with the man sitting beside him, taking in his words of comfort and reassurance. Natsume felt at ease.

“Can I try something on you?” Natsume asked after a brief silence and when Rei nodded he reached into his satchel, pulling out his Sigil from earlier. “Give me your hand.”

Without a question, Rei placed his wounded palm over Natsume’s extended hand. Taking a deep breath, he placed the Sigil over the wound, holding Rei’s cold hand between his own two.

His eyes fluttered shut— focusing on putting his energy towards the wound. He could feel Rei’s sharp eyes on him, which would have made him nervous… yet, it was oddly calming.

Keep a clear mind.

Keep a clear mind.

No— keep a calm mind.

Warmth spread through Rei’s hand which made Natsume’s eyes snap open. Removing the piece of paper from his palm, he observed the wound— not completely healed but sealed with a faint scar.

“It… worked.” He stared in disbelief, taking Rei’s hands again in a tight hold. “I’ve been trying to do this for ages— you were right! It worked!”

The childlike excitement from a partially successful healing was far too cute. Rei chuckled softly as he retracted his hand from Natsume’s hold, observing the partially healed scar on his palm. 

“Seems like you just needed a little change of scenery. I knew you had it in you.” Rei smiled, flexing his fingers before turning his attention back to Natsume, the younger man looking back at him with the gentlest and most appreciative gaze.

“You helped a lot… I would be hitting my head in my room and considering giving up on learning this shit.” Natsume admitted and turned his attention back to the scenery, his cheeks flushed red as he tried to hide away his embarrassment.

Chuckling softly, Rei shifted his gaze in front of him. “As I said, you had it in you. But I am happy that I could witness this first hand.” He felt Natsume shifting closer to him and quietly rested his head on his shoulder. “Do you want to go back home and show Shu what you can do?”

There was a short silence before Natsume answered. “Can we stay here a little longer?”

Rei smiled. “We could. But won’t Shu get upset given I snuck you out?”

“Mhmm… He probably will.” 

His eyes fluttered shut, his lips curling into a gentle smile. It was like all his stress and anxieties had drifted away and for once felt at ease.

Hello! It is Pia today on 1/16 and I was hoping to request more Super Mario characters like Luigi, Bowser, Geno, Princess Daisy! I'm ready for some fun chaos and interactions <3

Absolutely, I think more Mario muses is exactly what we need! :3

CALLING ALL SUPER MARIOR MUSES!!

ATARAXIA is a Discord-based fantasy/mystery multifandom role playing group that takes place in Epoche, a mysterious city recently having emerged from eternal sunset. The city holds many secrets, but they will only be revealed through extensive player exploration and character development, potentially setting events into motion that could affect everyone in the group.

What revelations will you uncover? Will you tip the balance in one stroke?

Only time will tell.

Gaudy

“I just wanted to thank you for your hospitality in these past few sennights, so — here,” says Vahri’a, and he hands Mana regalia in a burlap pouch.

Trapped within the bijoux is the last sunset over a La Noscean shore. The deep rouge of the Warden’s blush trickles into the bottlegreen of the ocean. What little light the Lover has captured hits just upon the crest of a wave, and then there is nothing. Each slight twist of her index and forefinger exhibits another wave in the tide, another facet cut into the magnificent jewel.

Mana had never heard of the Crescent Children, but she finds herself daydreaming of what their matriarch must look like in accordance with the premium quality of her craft. She imagines a wizened old sort, years Ahxe’s senior, whose calloused hands boast years of nicks and cuts that bear no threat, for each is merely one in a myriad. Whenever she tries to imagine a matriarch, she cannot help but invoke the image of the Mother Moon — skin cast in the hue of midnight, punctured by pinpricks of starlight freckles, and silken white hair enveloping her whole self. 

The matriarch probably doesn’t look like that, she decides. She holds up the jewelry to the pointed tip of her ear, attempting to catch a glimpse of something so far from her peripheral reach. Inexplicably, her ears wilt not long after. 

“I appreciate the gift, Vahri’a. I’m sure your contact in the Crescent Children worked tirelessly to create such a masterpiece. She’ll be relieved to receive it once again unscathed!”

“Um… what do you mean?”

“As much as I would like to dress myself with such a beautiful ornament,” Mana says, eyes resting softly upon the tip of her nose rather than meeting his gaze. “I fear it wouldn’t be polite to wear such a thing.”

“Ahxe, Aila and Mholi all adorn such things. You deserve them just as well, don’t you?”

“They are titlebearers and lorekeepers. Those gifts were provided for anniversaries and their childrens’ namedays. But I…” Mana nervously wrings her hands, attempting to keep her placid smile upon her face. “You’ve learned of our clan’s history with metalworks, or our lack of, yes?”

“Mhm…”

“Then, you know that such things are a luxury for us, and we can’t make much room for luxury nowadays. I’m really, really sorry. I just think — it would be better for you, if you were to return this and purchase something for Ataraxia as a whole. Perhaps a centerpiece for the Heart! That could be novel and lift plenty of spirits!”

Vahri’a finally takes the earrings. Thick silence permeates the air as he realizes the gravity of his request — and the embarrassing position he must’ve put his cousin in. For his own ignorance, no less.

“You’re right. Sorry, Mana.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry for!” she assures. “Really, I’m grateful. Perhaps in the future, we’ll strike gold quite literally, but for now I appreciate the sentiment.”

Mana hurries back to the Siltanho house to prepare dinner for the returning hunting band. She sings while she cooks, her mind waltzing to the song — imagining a matriarch with midnight skin, but possessing deep obsidian locks, and with sunsets for eyes.

What Fate characters do you plan on writing for? Also are you going to add any new fandoms soon?

Ok so regarding Fate/Stay Night other than the characters I've written for I have to do Sakura when I finally finish Heaven's Feel and Medusa. I may have to see if I'll delay Medusa to after I've played at least a bit of Hollow Ataraxia just to get a bit more familiar with her character.

I may not take requests for Archer and keep the alphabet as a one off thing. Small chance I do one for Lancer though.

Regarding other Fate media other than Medusa there are other characters in Hollow Ataraxia that I might write for like Bazett and Caren. Luvia is also a popular character but doesn't seem that deep so I might end up skipping her. Almost done watching Zero but there isn't really anyone to write about there. I am planning on playing EXTRA and CCC after I finish the VNs. Due to the way routes work in those games I might write only for Nero and not Tamamo since she doesn't seem that interesting. I will be writing for the Sakurafaces especially for Passionlip since a friend of mine is a big enjoyer of her story arc.

New fandoms are a bit harder of a question. I am seemingly picky about choosing fandoms to write for. This is more a consequence of the way I approach my posts as character analysis instead of fantasy fulfilment. I often see writing for really shallow characters which ends up just looking like a person projecting their fantasy onto an attractive shell. The worst example of this is those posts that are a blurb that lists a bunch of characters below it. I also care a lot about being accurate to a character because I find it pointless to write things that are ooc. If you don't write for a character as they are just don't write for them at all. Make an oc or something. I'm not looking through fanfiction just to read someone playing dolls.

Another thing is that as strange as it may seem I'm not a big fan of anime. The only anime I could confidently say I like and think is good is Jin-Roh. Other ones I've seen are either disappointing or just too weird with too little justification for it. As such the only thing I've considered doing is a one off Kill la Kill post. I've also watched RWBY almost twice but that show sucks. Small chance for some Yu-Gi-Oh posts since that show really knows how to set up a great character and then just completely piss on everything they did and set it on fire.

With videogames I'm mostly a shooter guy so there isn't much to write about. Like I have seen people write for Halo and Payday but that just feeds into my point about shallow characters. Similar situation with fighting games. Other than Blazblue while I know enough about both Under Night and Guilty Gear I don't see much fun stuff to write about. I do have some jrpgs that could have interesting characters to write for but I would need to finish them. Digital Devil Saga has really interesting concepts but there may not be much to write about with the characters. I also have Tales of Berseria but it's kinda boring and I probably won't finish it. I am pretty familiar with Persona but I don't like it that much and there's more than enough writers for it. One of my friends did recommend a VN called Katawa Shoujo recently and that honestly has the biggest chance of getting added as a new fandom.

I won't be writing for any live action stuff since I'm not interested in anything that way and it would feel a bit weird to write for. Same goes for real person fiction since that is honestly just really fucking gross.

Anyways if you there are any fandoms you want me to write for you're always free to ask anyways. You'll never get something you want if you don't ask for it.

Weekly Roundup: Prompt Reminders

FSN

incest tw, requesting some Saber/Morgan pining

I humbly ask for Saber to have facial hair as lustrous and sexy as your icon does. Need me more bearded women.

Medusa/Saber? They have a funny dynamic in hollow ataraxia...

FGO

Prompt: Anything with my boy Asterios. I barely see any content for him :<

ANY

This anon asks for some body horror. I want to see a character of your choice getting absolutely FUCKED up. Be it subtle (a skin that feels like an eel rather than a human,) big (Cu Chulainn in full warp spasm,) voluntary shapeshifting or the result of an imposed curse, I want HORROR! I want these bitches being UNSETTLING TO LOOK AT!!

Here's my prompt: a character of your choice coming to terms with being queer (whatever shade of queer you choose it to be.) Can be a heroic spirit being exposed to modern times, can be a modern day character meeting a heroic spirit from a culture that didn't give a shit, can be Rin dealing with the fact that she fucked a girl, up to you! I'd rather if they could be a bit in denial at least at first, rather than just a straightforward "oh ok i'm queer no big deal" story.

My prompt is... kink discovery! A character of your choice discovers they have an unusual kink. The fill could be on how they discovered it, or how they deal with their newly discovered fetish, or stuff like that! God wild!

“You’re overthinking– I’m yours. That’s all I want to be.” and none other than Cu Chulainn

//Because I'm a really big dumbass, this is long overdue. @coldpalaceee, I'm sorry if this isn't as good as it deserves to be...I am loving these prompts, and I hope I haven't deterred you from requesting more! (...God I work slow - )

------

I'm overreacting.

...Well, that wasn't new, was it? You had always been shy, and awkward, and clumsy, and just so many things you knew you weren't good at or lacked.

The fact that you knew you were overreacting made it ten times worse.

You stared at your boyfriend, the one and only Cú Chulainn, who was making small talk with the (pretty attractive) waiter as you both waited for your meals. You weren't at a fancy restaurant, no; your poor heart couldn't take the stifling formality that came with going to fancy places.

You tended to avoid them like the plague.

So, once you brought it up that you wanted to go somewhere with Cú that wasn't a fancy place, he patted your head and gave you a sun-filled grin that temporarily made your anxiety dissipate. He was always good with that, the comfort; it was like he knew exactly what to do when you clammed up or started to get lost in your own thoughts, resulting in you making more mistakes on whatever you were doing.

You both decided to go to an out-of-the-way cafe, the very same one where you two first met.

He had done so much for you already. Time and time again, he went out of his way to make you comfortable. You honestly wondered why he even wanted to hang around you, much less date you.

So, you presented the idea of this particular outing to him as a treat.

You were supposed to be the one making him feel good. You were supposed to be the one to make him feel comfortable.

He's been talking to this waiter for five minutes... Your gaze became downcast, eyes boring holes into the menu in front of you. You could hear the waiter laugh at a particular joke, one you recognized Cú telling you not even a week ago.

Despite the swirling unease in your stomach, you slightly smiled. Cú always had a tendency to tell other people stuff he learned with excitement that could affect even the most depressed person. He's like a puppy; it's...cute.

Not that you'd ever call him a puppy to his face.

" -ight, (Y/N)?"

"H-Huh?" Your gaze snapped back up to Cú, who was waiting for an answer. You scratched the back of your head, sheepish. "Sorry...what did you say?"

He gave you an odd look, repeating his question. "I said that this cafe is always a treat to go back to, right?"

You blinked, answering with a question of your own. "Was-...Was that supposed to be a pun?"

Now it was Cú's turn to blink, pondering for a fee moments. He then chuckled, the light sound making you smile as butterflies danced in your stomach. "I guess it was! I mean, the sweets here are incredible."

His eyes searched around the cafe, and your traitorous mind whispered that he was waiting for that extroverted waiter to come back, because unlike you they could keep a steady conversation with him without tripping over their own words like the failure they are -

"(Y/N)."

You returned your focus to Cú at his tone, a small frown on your face. The odd look was back on his face as crimson orbs scrutinized you. "What's wrong?"

You tensed. "Wh- ...Uh, nothing's wr- "

"Don't lie to me, (Y/N)." The intensity of his stare was still there, but now some exasperation was mixed into it. "You always occupy your hands with something when there's something on your mind."

Sure enough, you looked down to see that you were playing with the strings of your black hoodie. You had chosen dull colors so that you didn't stand out, while Cú wore a yellow sweatshirt and light blue jeans that you, admittedly, was better than the eye-damaging but endearing Hawaiian shirt he always had on hand; he stood out, and you blended in.

You wanted to scream. No! This was supposed to be the outing where you looked after Cú and coddled him, reassuring him with soft words and hand holding and so much more -

But you messed it up, like always, and he should honestly just dump your stupid ass already.

"O-Oi, I didn't mean to make you upset by that!" Cú had searched for a way to reassure you, since you looked tense enough to simply break at the slightest misstep. "It's just...I want to know what you're thinking, that's all. What's up?"

Your mind raced a mile a minute. Okay, you were definitely overreacting, but you couldn't stop yourself from spiralling further. Your mouth decided to betray you by blurting out, "Why are you even here?"

Ouch. You scrambled for a remedy, but it was too late. You watched a flicker of hurt cross his face before the confusion set in, and at this point you were mortified.

"I-I mean - !" You spoke frantically, frustrated with yourself. Why did you say it like that? Of course he got the wrong idea! Your hands balled into fists, pausing their motions.

Everything was falling apart, and it was because you couldn't muster up even a scrap of courage to tell him properly.

"I phrased that wrong. Oh god, I didn't - I didn't mean - "

"(Y/N)." You looked up. Cú gave an exasperated huff, but he was smiling. "Seriously, it's cool. I understand; just chill out for a sec, and tell me when you're ready."

"Why?!"

Your second outburst shocked him. He opened his mouth to continue, but you weren't waiting for a response; you figured hey, may as well drive the stake in further.

"Cú, you're so...vibrant. You're vibrant, understanding, way smarter than Gilgamesh gives you credit for, exuberant, witty, confident, encouraging, endearing, and just...so much more. Looking at you is like looking at a literal miniature sun, because you stand out and despite the odds being stacked against you, you somehow manage to find the silver lining in a bleak situation.

"Meanwhile, I'm...not nearly as amazing. I'm pretty forgettable in a sea of faces, I'm quiet, awkward, clumsy, I make at least seven mistakes each day, insecure, overbearing, bad with words, and I'm nowhere near as confident as you are. I usually bring the mood down, and I have low self-esteem."

Cú really looked like he wanted to say something, but was restraining himself. You continued, not seeming to notice his struggle.

"Seeing you talk to the waiter from before made me realize that I...I could never be as good as you. Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't know why you're dating me when there's other people like the waiter who could easily hold a conversation with you. There's so many wonderful people out there who would be better, and I always screw things up and cause you more trouble than you need since you always have so much on your plate already - "

"I chose you."

"Hah?" You stopped, gaze snapping back up to meet his. Cú's eyes were narrowed, his mouth a thin line as he glared.

You swallowed. Did...Did you just piss off the Cú Chulainn?

"I chose you." He repeated. "You, and no one else. Honestly, (Y/N), what am I going to do with you?"

You closed your mouth, a pained expression quickly making itself known on your face. Yet again, you made him comfort you instead of the other way around -

"Since you don't see what I do, I'm gonna have to pound it into that pretty little head of yours." Pink dusted across your cheeks as his irritated expression gave way to the grin you knew belonged to him and only him. It was sharp and wild, yet filled with so much glee and kindness that you slowly began to unwind your tightly balled hands.

"Yeah, you may be all of those things, but so what?"

"...Huh?" You peered at him, dumbfounded. Didn't...Didn't that just prove your point?

"Nope, it's my turn to talk." Cú held up a hand, and you vaguely registered your food being put in front of you and a "Have a nice day" in favor of listening to your boyfriend.

"If a human didn't have their flaws, then they wouldn't be human, now would they?" He continued. "Which, by the way, I find yours adorable. You're sarcastic and witty once you get enough confidence, mischievous, think more with your brain than rely on instinct, and you have such a big heart that there's no way a sane person could hate you.

"(Y/N), you look around and you see so much more than I think I could ever, and then the most breathtaking look gets into your eye as you appreciate what you're seeing. The best part is that it happens randomly; what I wouldn't look twice at, you take into your hands and go over it with a lot of care. You'd think that you were holding a baby bird with a broken wing from how you hold things. You have bursts of optimism that come and go, and when they do it's hard to even get mad at you.

"Most of all, (Y/N), you...ground me." He scratched his cheek lightly, looking over to the side.

You gaped. Was he...embarrassed? Each compliment had you sinking further in your chair, hands covering your beet red face.

"Yeah, you bring the mood down, but...not in the way you think. Ah, damnit, why is this so hard to say?! ...You're calming, and you help me not get too carried away with whatever the hell I'm doing. Imagining myself without you here is impossible at this point."

"Cú, just -...just stop, goddamnit," You groaned into your hands, wanting nothing more than to melt into a puddle and evaporate. "I-I get it, you love me. But...why the compliments?"

Cú rolled his eyes, leaning over to pry your hands away and giving you a quick but loving peck on your forehead. "Like I said, I had to beat it into your skull somehow. Don't you ever think that you're not worthy, or some dumb bullshit like that. Despite my flirting, I'm a loyal guy; I wouldn't leave you."

You stared at him. "Loyal...like how you were staring at that one couple's asses on the way here."

You didn't even realize that you didn't stutter through that entire sentence. Cú laughed at your retort, at least having some bit of shame to look sheepish. "What? When you see an ass that doesn't lie, you can't help but admire it."

"Cú!" You were laughing at this point too (since he was right - their asses were fine), but you still lightly punched his shoulder from across the table.

He grinned, a twinkle in his eyes. "There's the (Y/N) I know and love."

You spluttered. "Cú Chulainn, I swear if you say one more sappy thing - "

He reached over to hold your hand, making you pause. "Yeah, about earlier? You're overthinking - I'm yours. That's all I want to be."

This time, you were the one to lean over the table (and your untouched food) to kiss him.
