So who wants to look at Benrius baby!

Almost forgot to do today's "shoulder touch" because I was doing this but I'm getting it done rn

o-o this is my first time drawing a baby xD so pls don't judge me on my not-so-perfect baby drawings.

What can I say Darius must have a motherly aura or something?

Any name suggestions for this little thing?

Headcanons for this AU like thing ↓

Oh to be a young first-time parent :). AHHH I have so many headcanons, for this au thing idk. So I was thinking that D and Ben were out or at/near home when they found her. Ofc they took her in and Darius was going to take her to Child Services or something idk where they take random abandoned kids. Ben and Darius had been talking about starting a family or, it was at least on their mind but Darius felt it wasn't the right time now and he was kinda right. But over the past four days, they've had her (because they hadn't figured out what to do with her yet and it took a while to register her or whatever.) They kinda of got attached so Ben did the most reasonable and responsible thing he could do GUILT TRIPPING DARIUS INTO ADOPTING HER! and it worked :3

MAKE A FANFIC OF THIS AND MY LIFE IS YOU'RES!!!!!!

The benrius kid au !!!!

So...made this thing two weeks ago and dropped it. If I'm gonna continue this or not? idk maybe, might drop it, might redo it, might continue it, who knows

There's a fic under the line

summary: how they found Dhalia :/ about 1,140 words.

btw im not much of a writer and it's not proofread YOUVE BEEN WARNED!

Five years. It’s been five years since this dynamic duo finally came together after navigating denial, hurt, and confusion. Five years since Darius said, "I love you back without the bud."

Darius leaned his head against the newly purchased, yet still old, van, watching the trees blur past in a comforting silence beside his date.

"Beep beep!"

“What was that?”

“Nothing…”

“Ben, we’ve talked about this. You can’t wait until the last minute to fill up the gas tank.”

“Fine. There’s a gas station on the way home; I’ll stop there.”

“Good,” Darius said, leaning back against the window.

Ben released a resigned sigh, a small smile tugging at his lips. He knew better than to argue against Darius; he’d probably jump out of the van if he did.

Tree after tree blurred by until Ben finally pulled into a quaint gas station café. He parked next to the pumps and got out, walking to Darius's side, he opened the car door like a true gentleman.

“Sir?” Ben teased, flashing a playful smile as he extended his hand to Darius. Darius rolled his eyes but took it anyway.

“What? Isn’t this what boyfriends do?” Ben quipped, a glint of mischief in his eyes.

Darius felt his ears warm slightly at the word “boyfriend,” and he couldn’t help but smile.

"You're such a goof" Darius’s smile widened, and it lifted Ben’s heart,

Darius decided to head into the café, leaving Ben to take care of the gas tank.

Ben whistled to himself, glancing around, when suddenly he heard a thud followed by a hiss from the side of the café. His curiosity piqued.

“Compys…” he whispered, a hint of dread in his voice. He tried to focus on his task, but another sound caught his attention—a cry? He froze and walked toward the side of the café, where the noise was coming from. There, nestled beside a small, closed box, he spotted the compys scratching at it, drawn in by the faint cooing inside.

“Hey!” Ben shouted, swinging his arm to scare the pesky creatures away.

Ben cautiously opened the box to discover what the compys were so desperately after. His face twisted in shocked confusion as he gasped, “What the-!?”

𓆈𓆌𓆈𓆌𓆈𓆌𓆈𓆌𓆈𓆌𓆈𓆌𓆈𓆌𓆈𓆌𓆈𓆌

"They sell a bunch of nasty compy meat!? So I didint get anything from the cafe, but we can cook up our breakfast for dinner…Hey, you okay?"

“I… I found a baby…” Ben stammered, holding the small cardboard box tightly in his hands, as if afraid it might disappear if he loosened his grip. The tiny creature inside peered up at him, wide-eyed and vulnerable.

Darius’s face twisted in puzzlement. “What do you mean you found a baby—” He leaned closer, peering over the box that Ben held so tightly. “Oh, wh—where did you!? Ben, whose baby is this?!” Darius exclaimed, his voice rising in surprise.

Ben’s shoulders shot up in a shrug, his eyes wide with uncertainty. “I don’t know! It was just there, behind the café!” He looked at Darius, searching for answers as panic started to creep in. His fingers tightened around the box as if he could somehow protect the tiny creature inside.

Darius took a step closer, instinctively reaching out as if to touch the box, but hesitated. “What if it’s hurt? We can’t just leave it here!” His brows knitted together in concern, glancing around as if expecting someone to come rushing out of the café to claim the baby.

Ben’s heart raced. “…so what do we do with it?” His shoulder slumped back down, the weight of the situation settling on him like a heavy cloak.

"I guess we take them home," Darius said, his voice steadying. "Figure out what to do when we get back home…they were obviously abandoned, so no point in finding the parent." He looked down at the tiny creature in sympathy, his expression softening.

“Are you sure?” Ben’s voice was barely above a whisper, his gaze darting from Darius to the baby. “What if it's parents—”

“We can figure that out later. Right now, we need to make sure it’s safe.” Studying the tiny creature peering up at them, its wide eyes glistening with innocence.

As they exchanged worried glances, Ben gently shifted the box closer to Darius. “Can you… can you hold it?”

Darius hesitated for a moment, then nodded, his hands trembling slightly as he took the box. “Okay, but let’s be careful.” He felt a rush of warmth and protectiveness swell in his chest, he tried to push it down.

“Yeah, like it’s made of glass,” Ben chuckled nervously, but his smile faded as he scanned their surroundings again. “What if someone sees us? What if they think we kidnaped a baby and-?”

“Ben, focus.” Darius’s tone was firm but gentle. “We’ll figure out the details later. Let’s get out of here first.”

Ben nodded, casting one last look at the café. A feeling of dread washed over him. They were stepping into uncharted territory, and he had no idea what they were getting themselves into.

note- if I do continue this I'll continue this on ao3. I don't know if I'll stick with this story or change how they meet.

[eclipsecrowned]

thinking once again about how every damn woman in laerion's life got spited by their own family, how his grandmother went from the future queen consort to the mother of the heir to absolutely nothing sat at dr*ftmark til she died. his mother, most of his rage is saved for her sake, how he longs to avenge her and the dishonor done to her at the council, that she be considered the lesser ruler for something so irreverent as sex compared to a fool man gaining her crown. his sister who was honor-bound to some braav0si fool because their father wouldn't break the arrangement, then whose life was cut short so cruelly when she was so happy. his nieces who lose and lose and lose during the dance, over and over again, having to marry laen0r's boys to secure a birthright that was theirs alone. his goodsister denied her rights as his mother was, her half-sister made to suffer and suffer and suffer because of a war she has no part in.

i just.

bro he is so angry all of the time about it. he tries to stay positive and support and defend but it's gotta be rough for him sometimes. his idea of masculinity is not so fragile that the has to constantly be in charge or speak over the ladies in his life, obviously, he knows these are fully realized people and have their own lives to live, but sometimes he just. he wants the scorched earth toxic masculinity 'i'm about to end his entire bloodline' kind of nonsense w*steros deems acceptable and effective to bring them some kind of justice.

but that means letting those fool men who caused all of this win. that he becomes like them.
