Beloved by the Male Lead’s Nephew

I will never say that I am in love (18+)

{ alternate title: you are the love of my life }

Aemond Targaryen x f!reader

When the one-eyed prince falls, the realisation comes to him in the scent of flowers. In his nephew's laughter. In his dreams.

themes/warnings : just pure sweetness, our emotionally constipated and repressed Aemond Targaryen, he thinks some *impure* thoughts in this one (how dare he!!!), he does NOT want to even think about falling in love (what a stupid distraction, he is not weak, you all should know) - also, he is DOWN BAD for the reader.

all my other works

a/n : this is the first fic I'm writing completely in the male lead's, in this case Aemond's perspective. Complete train-of-thought type of storytelling. (also, this is not in my scheduled works, the idea came to me after watching the new promo clips for s2... never in a million eons did I ever think I would hear Ewan Mitchell utter the word "cheugy" but oh well) - Enjoy! 🖤

{ I. flowers ▪︎ II. innocence ▪︎ III. dreams }

I.

Aemond decides that he finds pleasure in your scent.

The thought comes to him as he strolls through the halls of the Red Keep. Not a strong one, not a revelation by any means. A mere inkling of something he favours.

It is innocent. It is nothing.

He had spied some flowers peeking from just beneath a window. Roses, peonies, or some other, he did not bother to truly look. He glanced them out of the corner of his eye.

And he thought of you.

You smell something rather akin to those flowers - blooming and enticing and sweet.

A simple observation, rising to him now from his memory.

That is all.

Your scent reminds him of springtime in the gardens. You are pleasant, there is no doubt, but that very sweetness can only be construed as sickly if divulged in for far too long, too often.

Besides, his icy disposition does not really take well to flowers in the spring. They are more like to whittle under his boot, and shrivel from the coldness in his gaze.

You are not for him. No.

Flowers. Sweet things. The gentleness in your voice when you call him 'my prince'. Aemond scoffs at himself as he walks on.

It is no transgression to be distracted. It is a natural thing.

You are a distraction, and Aemond decides to think of you no more.

II.

Aemond comes to Helaena's chambers to visit with his niece and nephews. It is only by coincidence that you are almost always there too.

"Prince Aemond." Your voice resembles a song in greeting him. "Queen Helaena has just left to speak with Lady Alicent, but she should return shortly."

"Hmm." You are not a lady-in-waiting to Helaena, but more of a companion, a friend. Yet you do not mind looking after Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and Maelor when their mother is indisposed.

This is where Aemond finds you, most mornings. Were it anyone else, he might have sent them away, so that he can spend time alone with the children.

But he lets you stay, because, of course, Helaena would prefer it so. She dotes on you so dearly, Aemond has noticed.

In these instances, he lets you stay only because it is what Helaena would want. Why else?

He settles on an upholstered stool and beckons to the children. They eagerly waddle their way over to their beloved uncle.

You watch the interaction with a smile, as you always do. With your legs curled underneath you, comfortably seated on the floor a few feet in front of him.

Aemond used to pay you no mind, but increasingly it has been nagging at him that you are observing, taking him in.

It is inane to be self-conscious; there is no reason to be. He is the Prince - being perceived has been a constant all his life.

He is the Prince, and you are merely a lady companion.

But when you say things like, "They are very fortunate to have you as their uncle, my prince," it makes him feel a sense of pride. Like it is some accomplishment to be complimented by you.

He knows this. He knows he is a good uncle.

Perhaps it is just that. Vanity.

You pointing it out has nothing to do with anything.

Jaehaerys crosses the many strides it takes for him to reach you again, and he pulls at your hand.

"Come," he giggles.

"Where, sweet boy?"

"Come, come here, come here," he mumbles mostly to himself, grunting when you are unmoving and his three-year old form is unable to magically transport you as he wishes.

"Okay," you laugh once, getting on your feet with your body bent to his level, and you let him pull you to where he wants.

Which is... right next to his dearest uncle Aemond.

"There." Jaehaerys claps his hands in glee, as you curl up on the floor beside Aemond's outstretched legs.

"He has a sense of humour, that one," you grin, looking up at Aemond.

Aemond sees your expression up close and you look okay. Comely. Fine. You are not bad-looking, by any means.

You are the most beautiful lady in the court.

You are fine, just fine.

Aemond would not mind seeing your face everyday; he already sees it every night in his dreams.

And it is just fine.

"Is something the matter, my prince?"

Call him that. Do it again. Or better yet, replace prince with his name. Call him 'my Aemond'.

Aemond desires nothing more than to hear it.

Because... because he is vain. Nothing more than that. It would take a high degree of devotion for someone to utter the words 'my Aemond' to him. And who would not want to be at the end of such idolatry.

Perceive him. Worship him. Consume him.

You already consume him.

Aemond stands abruptly, and you scramble to follow suit.

"Aem... Aemond," you stammer. "I mean, forgive me... my prince, what is wrong?"

Aemond looks down. Your delicate hand is gripping his arm, the sleeve of his tunic doing nothing to mask the heat of your skin.

He is of dragon, he is of fire.

But your touch burns.

The clacking of wooden toy horses ring in the background, the children lost in their imagination.

"Nothing," Aemond clears his throat, and folds his arms behind him so your hand falls. "I am alright. I must go."

The smell of sweetness lingers in his nostrils. Your sweetness. He is growing weak.

He steps away, "I bid you farewell, my lady."

"My prince."

Call him Aemond. Call him by his name, title be damned. By the gods, call him yours.

Aemond nearly rushes out of the chambers, his gait sure and his footsteps heavy.

Tonight, in his dreams, he will finally release his foolish desires and that will be the end of it.

Behind his eyes, he will touch you and taste you and watch you crumble underneath him.

And he will be your Aemond.

That will be the climax of this passing fantasy.

III.*

Aemond has stripped down to his undergarments, supine above the silk sheets of his bed. He runs a hand over his face, and he sees you.

All the better for it, he supposes, that he gets rid of it now before it ruins him further.

It is a memory, from only one moon ago, but he sees it clear as day.

You had let your hair down that day, and it flowed freely, following the gentle breeze. Nestled in what Aemond found out to be your favourite spot in the gardens, needle and thread in your dainty fingers, you tell him that you are embroidering a veil for your dear mother.

You request for him to sit with you, and Aemond obeys.

Pleasantries are exchanged, about the weather, your duties, his training. All the while Aemond watches the contour of your lips, how it stretches back to reveal your smile when he says something that could not be the farthest from amusing, but you find it amusing anyway.

He stares you down questioningly.

You blush then, turning your focus back to your work, "Apologies, but I... I admire the way you speak, my prince. As if every word is deliberate, carefully chosen. You are intelligent, and you care what you say."

"Hmm," he said then, but now...

In his mind, he lets you know just what he wants, "Have you ever been bedded, my lady?"

You look at him in shock, of course you do. Those rosy lips part, and Aemond wonders whether your lips below possess the same shade.

In his grand chambers, Aemond lets his hand drift down, down from the planes of his stomach, to his hardened cock. He licks his lips, and imagines the softness of your own. He strokes the leaking tip with his thumb. The picture continues.

"Do you not ever wonder about the deed?" Aemond asks.

"M-my prince...I do not... I - "

"You must," he sneers. "You must, as I do, and when I do, it is you who floods my very thoughts, and consumes my very being."

"I do not know what to say."

"Say you want to kiss me."

His grip tightens, drawing down and up his cock, covering it with the milky white that has leaked from his tip. He is pained, teeth pressing down on his lower lip. He imagines your hands on him, your dress undone as you watch him come undone.

"We mustn't," you look down in shame. Your legs clench together to keep in the warmth.

"Come here, my sweetness," he leads you to sit atop him, and your work clatters to the ground.

You try to look away, try to hide just how much he is affecting you.

"Kiss me," Aemond pleads.

You comply. He slips his tongue past your lips.

Faster, wetter, he gets harder and it is unbearable. His hands are not enough, he wishes to plunge his aching member right into your soaking folds. Wishes to watch beads of his sweat fall on to you as he pounds you without mercy, his cock squelching deep inside your cunny until it is sore. If only you will ache as he does. Come as he comes.

Aemond lifts you up and the two of you end up stumbling down on the grass. He does not relent. His fingers make quick work of the strings and ribbons holding you together. Your breasts come free and he latches his mouth on one, his tongue swirling against the nipple.

"Oh Aemond!" you moan, and it is a scandal. It is everything unholy. It is every dirty thought nestled in his mind.

Soon he has you bare, your skin practically glowing under daylight. You are perfect, and you are his.

"Take me," you say, practically begging. "I want you to fill me with your cock. Fill me with your seed, my dragon prince. Please."

"My sweetness," Aemond reveals himself to you, undoing his breeches and slipping out of his tunic. How could he resist?

"Do you want me?" he asks.

"Yes."

"Say it."

"I want you, my prince," you affirm, squirming under him, you hips bucking up with desire, hopelessly attempting to rub your cunny against his skin.

"My Aemond," he corrects you. "Say it."

"I want you," you say, "my Aemond."

Aemond rubs his cock faster and faster, the thick green veins in his hand and arms straining angrily under his skin. He feels you, he sees you in his mind so clear. You are his, and he is your Aemond.

He plunges his cock inside you, and you are left mewling and writhing as he quickens his assault.

He groans loudly. The lewd squelching of his cock turning sloppy, hasty, mindless. A few more strokes and he comes all over himself, hot white streaks decorating his torso. His silver hair in disarray on the pillows, like a broken halo. Beads of sweat falling from his temple. His mouth parted as he whispers your name.

He gives himself a few more tugs, emptying out. You would do him so much better. Touch him so well.

In his mind, he still sees it. Fragments of his memory bleeding through his fantasies. He does not know anymore what is real and what is not.

He cleans himself up with warm cloth afterward, feeling shame at his actions.

This is enough. Now he has released you from his being. The desire he holds so closely to his chest must have dissipated along with the lewd act he just committed.

"My Aemond," you whisper from behind him, wrapping your arms around his torso.

Enough. No more of such useless musings.

"I love you, Aemond."

I love you too.

this was meant to have more sections ( IV to VII )... maybe I'll come around to it eventually.

Let me know what you think of this sort of writing from Aemond's perspective!

To be tagged in Aemond or Daemon fics, comment on this post !

[fromtheboundlesssea]

Listening to A Game of Thrones again. I only just finished Jon I and I just had a thought that I have no wish to expand upon at this moments, but maybe I will later or someone else could if they wish.

Starks and Targaryens

Lyanna / Ned / Catelyn -> Aemma / Viserys / Alicent

Lyanna and Aemma die giving birth to a child wanted by the father only for their only living child to be the gender the father of the child did not want. Both women haunt the story even though they are relegated to very brief mentions in their “historical” records. Both die due to a Targaryen man’s irrational belief in prophecy.

Ned and Viserys attempts to keep the peace between the two halves of their family, however, their first “child” causes tensions with his wife and other children and there is a divide between them. Both treat their first children above the typically accepted position their birth would have entitled them to.

Catelyn and Alicent are married to men and constantly feel compared to a woman who is dead or gone and feels threatened by the protective nature of their husband towards their first child. Both have a child who is disabled, only for their husbands to not care. No one was punished, even lightly, for the blinding of Aemond, and Viserys brushed the incident away. Ned left Catelyn alone with Bran, who could have very well died while he was away and chose his duty to Jon Arryn, someone dead, above his son. Both women die with vengeance for their dead children on their lips.

Jon / Robb -> Rhaenyra / Aegon II

Jon and Rhaenyra are their father’s eldest child and is raised above the station many children in their positions are given (Jon as a bastard and Rhaenyra as a girl). Their position within the family puts their stepmothers on edge and their positions also serve as a vague threat to their half-siblings. They both leave their homes and “set up court” elsewhere, Jon at Castle Black and Rhaenyra in Dragonstone, and stay away from the main fight of the series. Both were born the opposite gender their fathers wanted.

Robb and Aegon II both picked up their crowns after the urging of familial figures that discussed the danger their siblings are threatened with. Both lost control of their anger once their siblings began dying. Neither man seemed insistent on a crown and do not think of their other sibling as a danger to themselves despite the warnings of their mother. Both are betrayed by allies.

Benjen -> Daemon

These are more foils. Benjen is everything that Daemon is not and vice versa. Benjen sends himself into exile and remains there and serves the King and his brother with honor. He also tries to look out for his nephew and help raise him to be a proper man for the time he is with him. Daemon is constantly exiled for his actions but always comes back and leads his niece astray.

Jon / Sansa -> Aegon III / Jaehaera

Both Jon and Aegon III are made heir by the will of the previous king so that a woman won’t be given the throne (albeit for different reasons). Both have a complicated relationship with symbol of their house. They are traumatized by the death of a woman who had great influence over them (Ygritte and Rhaenyra). Both were never meant to be put in royal positions of authority, Jon being both a bastard and a second son, and Aegon with three older brothers and the son of the losing side.

Sansa and Jaehaera are both girls deeply traumatized by witnessing the death of beloved male relatives who are wrongly beheaded right in front of them. The two girls serve as keys to their houses and inheritance and are used for that inheritance despite being willed away from such an inheritance. While incited to violence, both are reluctant to such murder and do not enact it. They serve as a representative to sides of a war that are not well liked in the current ruling dynasty.

Ironically, if Jonsa were to happen it would be a true reconciliation of two sides of the similar conflicts that originated with the questions of inheritance.

Lannisters and Strongs

Tywin -> Lyonel

Both men are considered to be great politicians. However, their children undermined their political influence and reveal that both men are not actually as great as they are initially believed to be. Tywin does not think about the long term. Lyonel allows his son to put them all in danger by even allowing such rumors to swirl. If Lyonel were smart, he would have nipped those rumors in the bud not only to protect his son, but to not add shaky foundations for Rhaenyra’s reputation.

Jaime / Cersei -> Harwin / Rhaenyra

Both men have affairs with royal women and sire children that look like them. Both men have three bastards destined to die due to the greed of the women they love who can and will never acknowledge them as the fathers of their children.

Cersei and Rhaenyra do not wish to have children with their husbands, for different reasons, and often put their own sexual pleasure above their positions at court and their own allies. Both women are threatened by younger women who could usurp their place and often belittle them for the sake of their own vanity. Both greatly fear their younger brothers and what hand they might take in their deaths.

Tyrion / Larys

Both men are the “lesser” sons of their fathers and are disfigured—earning nicknames for said disfigurement. Both men are very resentful towards their siblings and either enact or wish for the destruction of their houses.

From left to right, top to bottom: Grand Duke Vladimir, Grand Duke Alexis, Grand Duke Sergei and Grand Duke Pavel

Alexander III and his brother Grand Duke Sergei

Alexander III and his brothers

Alexander II had eight children, six of them male: Grand Duchess Alexandra (died in childhood), Tsarevich Nicholas (Nixa, who died at 22), Grand Duke Alexander (who would reign as Alexander III), Grand Duke Vladimir, Grand Duke Alexei, Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna, Grand Duke Sergei, and Grand Duke Pavel.

Alexander III's role as Tsar included managing his "family" (the Romanovs.) His brothers, Grand Duke Vladimir and Grand Duke Sergei had strong, domineering personalities, and Sacha had to use a strong hand with them, but all, including Alexei and Pavel, remained supportive of him. Alexei was Sacha's favorite brother (and a favorite of Nicholas II and Empress Maria Feodorovna). Pavel's health was always fragile. He married and lost his first wife. In Nicholas's time, he married again, this time morganatically, and was banished from Russia. When he was allowed to come back, he tried to assist his nephew through the last crisis of the Tsarist government.

Sacha's years as emperor were the last years of the balls and the large group outings and pictures. Even though he was not a social man, he knew his role had a social component and that he was the patriarch of his family. Empress Maria Feodorovna was a great help to him in this respect.

Sacha and his brothers remained close and worked together under Sacha's strong hand (and with raised voices and squabbles here and there, which involved Vladimir more frequently than the others.) They seemed to take for granted that their job as Grand Dukes was to work for their brother, the Tsar, who, after all, was Russia. They all had important positions within the government (with the exception of Pavel, who was too young.) This had been the way the dynasty functioned under Nicholas I and Alexander II.

Unfortunately, things changed for the worse under Nicholas II. His brother Georgie, who would have been Nicholas' right hand, became ill early on and had to leave court. Although his brother Mikhail surprised everybody by proving to be an excellent leader of men when he was practically forced to do so by Nicholas II (he was given the command of the Caucasian Native Cavalry Corps, also called the Savage Regiment, during WWI), he preferred to stay away from government matters altogether and live a "playboy" lifestyle. He also married morganatically.

With a few exceptions, the Grand Dukes dedicated themselves to spending their money raising their families and maintaining their ultra-luxurious lifestyles. The Empress was a naturally retiring woman, in poor health and consumed first by the need to give birth to a boy and later by the illness of her beloved boy. Tsar Nicholas did not cultivate the social aspects of the family and did not lead them; the photographs no longer included the large family groups. The Romanovs fell apart internally, and not long after, the rest of their world crashed. (gcl)

5, 10, 17, 31 for both Vlad and Trystan dear Lin! <33

My most beloved Mads! Thank you for sending these my way. It means the absolute world to me! 🥰️❤️️

5. What sort of succession system is it? Agnatic? Primogeniture? Gender-biased?

In Vlad's 15th-century Wallachia, the succession system is not fixed but rather functions as a loosely structured polity. Future voivodes are chosen from any male members of the royal family who are not disfigured or maimed noticeably. This type of succession is defined as os de domn (of voivode marrow), which means that any man from the royal family (brother, nephew, son, etc.), regardless of being born as a legitimate son or not, has the right to become the ruler of the land. At the same time, the voivode does not need to consider the order in which possible successors are born but instead chooses his heir based on skills and capabilities, hence why it is not uncommon for the heir to first become the associate ruler which allows the voivode to prepare his successor and teach him the craft of politics. This type of succession is, to a certain extent, favourable as it eliminates the stigma associated with illegitimate children because, regardless of whether they are born out of wedlock or not, all male members of the family are treated equally and have the same opportunities. However, it also creates an unstable political environment characterised by frequent violent power struggles among family members.

In Trystan's 21st-century Drakovia, the succession system is primogeniture, meaning that the firstborn legitimate child inherits the throne. Unlike in the past, this system is no longer biased based on gender, allowing daughters of the kings to also become rulers (this option was implemented through the Drakovian Pragmatic Sanction which allowed Queen Catalina to rule during the last two decades of the 1800s). This type of succession ensures the stability of the country, with the heir being prepared for their future role from childhood. However, it does discriminate against the illegitimate children of the king, which is why Juliana Georgescu eventually proposes the draft of the Drakovian Act for Heir Equity.

10. Is the dynasty old? Or new? How does this affect how they operate?

Vlad belongs to the House of Drăculești, which traces its origins back to Vlad’s father, Vlad II Dracul (Dragon). While the family is part of the House of Basarab, the Basarabs eventually split into two separate lines, with the other line being the House of Dănești. These two lines have been in constant competition for the throne since the late 14th century. The Basarabs are a ruling family of Cuman origin, and they established Wallachia as a state in the early 14th century under the leadership of Basarab I (hence the name of the royal house). At the time of Vlad’s first rule in 1448, the country (and the royal house) is still relatively young, being only 138 years old. The relative youth of the House of Basarab itself does not cause problems in the functioning of the state. However, the split of the royal house into two lines certainly contributes to the instability in the region.

Trystan belongs to the House of Tornović which first began to rule Drakovia in the 18th century. Prior to Drakovia becoming a Socialist republic in the 1940s, the royal family was renowned for being enlightened rulers who promoted education and art. However, due to the volatile and turbulent political landscape of the Balkans, the Tornovićs often had to govern with an iron fist, making them rather authoritarian, almost despotic. After the fall of the Communist regime, the descendants of the House of Tornović return from exile to a country that becomes instantly engulfed in a bloody civil war that ultimately leads to the restoration of the kingdom at a high cost. However, due to the volatile nature of regional politics and the transformation of Drakovian society, the country merely undergoes a different kind of dictatorship under the rule of King Maksim, Trystan’s father.

17. Does your OC dislike living in the public eye? Or do they believe it's part of the job?

Growing up in the family of the Great Pretender and later moving to the Royal Court in Târgovişte, Vlad is accustomed to being in the public eye. He sees it as a small price to pay for being a Drăculea, and it is an aspect of his life that he does not have a personal preference for but rather sees as a constant presence. He can manage it as long as he can find a way to maintain some privacy for his family and for an environment where he can simply be a regular person for a while. However, when he becomes a prisoner at the Hungarian court, he strongly dislikes being constantly observed by the public, primarily due to the constant humiliation that comes with it. He begins to prefer the solace of privacy, being surrounded only by family or using it for quiet contemplation.

Trystan not only enjoys living in the public eye, he thrives in it. Whether he is publicly praised as an enigmatic heir to the throne or closely followed as a scandalous rebel in exile, he relishes the attention at all times. His perspective on public life does not solely derive from being born into the most closely observed family in the kingdom, it also arises from his personality and his somewhat eccentric soul. However, this perspective shifts with age as he develops a greater appreciation for tranquil environments and a desire for privacy.

31. Your OC has been the target of some bad press. What do they do to straighten out the story?

It is a historical fact that Vlad's reputation has been tarnished by a series of pamphlets aimed at ruining his image, so much so that this negative perception of him persists to this day. During his imprisonment by Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus, Vlad had no opportunity to correct the narrative or defend himself against the slanderous accusations and, as a result, his bad reputation has continued to follow him without anyone giving him the chance to make his voice be heard. After his release and his third time becoming the voivode, Vlad is too disillusioned and bitter to even think about actively addressing his tarnished reputation. He only cares about being understood by his family and closest associates.

Trystan firmly believes in the motto that “any press is good press”, so he isn’t easily offended by negative publicity. He is accustomed to appearing on magazine covers due to his supposedly scandalous behaviour and enjoys being seen as a provocative rebel. However, if the bad press includes something too sensitive, he would go to great lengths to restore his reputation. For instance, there is a lingering cloud of suspicion surrounding his involvement in Juliana Georgescu’s death, and the desire to uncover the truth (and potentially clear his name) continues to haunt him for years. Eventually, we know that the Detective helps him uncover what truly happened on that fateful night.

If you ask their friends, they’re known to be LEVELHEADED & BENEVOLENT, but beware, they’re also known to be RESERVED & DISTRUSTFUL. Their friends also say that they’re into ROMANCE & HAIR PULLING but don’t you dare trying GORE, VORE, ANYTHING BATHROOM RELATED with them.

TW for death

Before Willowshire

On a bitter January morning, the leaders of a nomadic trading skulk welcomed twins. In the midst of a season burdened by hardships and tragedy, the safe arrival of the Fontana kits was cause for celebration. The eldest was a daughter that they named Phoebe and the younger was named Linus, both in honor of relatives lost earlier in the winter. In the case of Linus, he was the namesake of his uncle - his dame's brother. An alpha who bravely sacrificed himself while defending their caravans from hunters. His legacy swiftly became a familiar weight on his nephew's shoulders, but Linus took in it stride with his head held high.

Members of the skulk speculated that the twins would present as Alphas. Both of them were responsible, ready to aid in chore completion and entrusted as babysitters to their younger siblings.  Phoebe would often assert herself as the leader in groups yet if one looked closer, they would see that her brother had her ear. The twins bickered as siblings tend to do but they always reunited and proved themselves as forces to be reckoned with. They valued each other's counsel, watched out for one another, worked well together.

The skulk's prediction was only half correct. When the time came, Phoebe presented as an Alpha. As for Linus? Shock made his blood run impossibly cold when he presented as an Omega. Luckily, this revelation was accepted with open arms and minds.

Unfortunately, the happiness would not last forever. After the skulk had stopped to rest and trade in a village that was recovering from a horrid plague, many of the members fell ill when they resumed their journey. While some eventually recovered, others went on to join Mother Nature in eternal rest. The elder Fontanas - Phoebe and Linus' parents - were among those who were lost due to this devastating illness. As the eldest of their kits, Phoebe stepped up to lead the way.

Not long after assuming the role, she called her twin to the lead caravan one night. The two of them had just turned eighteen and the leadership responsibilities were too heavy a burden for one Fontana to bear alone. Especially while the loss of their parents remained a fresh wound on their hearts. Phoebe asked Linus to join her as co-leader, telling him that he could have all the time to consider his decision.

He only needed a moment before he answered yes.

The skulk continued to thrive under the twins' leadership. Did they make mistakes sometimes, created by inexperience and youthful hubris? Of course they did. They learned from those same errors, growing wise beyond their years as time marched on.

That same maturity did not mean they were immune to becoming love-struck. Phoebe became the mate of a healer who eventually joined their ranks. As for Linus, he fell in love with a bard from a group of travelers. They agreed to temporarily merge their numbers since there surely had to be safety in such a large band of werecreatures.

For months, Linus and the bard - another werefox named Elliot - spent plenty of time together. Elliot called Linus his muse, Linus would have readily fought an entire army if they wished to bring harm to his beloved companion. Eventually, their time together came to an end. Elliot had a village to return to and the skulk had their trade routes. The pair agreed that if Mother Nature was generous enough to reunite them one day, they would take it as a sign they were meant to be. However, before the groups parted ways, Elliot and Linus spent one final night together. Their hearts ached with one of the worst sorts of pain as they whispered their goodbyes early the next morning.

Then Linus started waking up sick. His cool, collected nature would briefly falter during regular conversations and business negotiations alike. He had his suspicions as to what connected these symptoms. Inklings soon confirmed by a healer. Linus was expecting a kit of his own.

He later welcomed a son and decided to name him after the kit's grandfather. Leonardo Fontana. Another safe arrival signaled a continuation of the peace the skulk currently enjoyed. In time, Linus resumed his duties as co-leader and shouldered those along with his commitment to be an incredible father. Just like his own had been.

And so, the years marched on.

Willowshire

Talk about a village populated by those who escaped the corruption of the Crown had reached the group multiple times. Phoebe and Linus had discussed potentially settling down there in a similar amount of instances. The craving for stability was shared not only between the twins, but among plenty of skulk members. It would be an adjustment since the roads had been the only home these traders had known.

A great deal of them welcomed this change. Some reported that they were eager to try their hands at a new profession. Others shared their newfound fondness for a permanent settlement in comparison to the temporary camps they once set up. Personally, Linus was eager to utilize and heighten his skills in wielding various weapons to help protect the village. This is what led him to join the guards and in turn, pack Blazepelt.

The pack's conservative attitudes rubbed him the wrong way on more than one occasion. However, his frustration was easily remedied with extensive training sessions and he had no other complaints. In time, Linus grew comfortable. He even started to regard Willowshire as home.

New Haven

But Mother Nature saw fit to blindside him once more. This time, he and Leo awoke in an unfamiliar place. There were these fantastical inventions all around and so much had changed. Once he registered that they were in the company of fellow nonhumans, his nerves settled just enough to allow him an opportunity to absorb this ambush of new information.

Apparently father and son had landed in a place known as New Haven. Incredibly, they somehow traveled through time. This modern life does not seem to be lacking in advantages and creature comforts, however it is still a grand exercise in adaptation. Linus would go so far as to say this makes settling in Willowshire seem like a round of target practice.

Linus is determined to maintain a sense of calm as long as he and Leo are here in this strange era. He has remained unsettled due to the list of unanswered questions about this change. There is also a certain anxiety thanks to the inability to do anything other than wait for answers.

For now, he accepted a position as a self defense instructor at the local gym. So far, this has provided him with a welcome distraction. And Linus does enjoy the opportunity to share his knowledge with these new generations. There's a sort of pride he feels while watching the students as they improve and even master these techniques. Plus, Linus feels comforted knowing not all of his skills will become rusty during this time spent in the modern world.

Hopefully it will only be a temporary stint.

[mrskurono]

Very much agree with the idea of the Zenin clan being very fucked up. Reader being Megumi’s aunt & noticing how much your nephew looks like his father (aka your beloved brother Toji who you you shared many intimate trysts with before his passing). You fulfill Megumi’s and yours mommy kink, sharing nights w/ his mouth latched to your breasts while you teach him the ways you & Toji fucked. Corrupting him to where he adopts many of Toji’s kinks. He yearns for your attention & praise as you teach.

you anon, are one of the beautiful sexy vibrant minds that I'm gonna smooch. This. This is fucking beautiful.

The only male born heir for the Zenin clan. You can't help but be programmed to praise the cute chubby little face Toji brought into the world. Partially because Megumi would become the new leader. But more than anything because you're dear sweet brother had him.

Bittersweet it wasn't you who had the gracious privilege to carry Megumi (or any of Toji's children). How many nights you and Toji had spent from the moment you were aware of each others bodies, wrapped up together. Touching and exploring well past what was simply just sibling curiosity.

Every Zenin who'd ever found the two of you growing up turning a blind eye. No matter how many times they'd find the two of you fucking in the grounds gardens. Or Toji eating you out in the helps quarters. Or you sucking him off under the covers every night before bed. They saw it. The Zenin clan just didn't stop it.

Perhaps by gracious luck. Or by what you thought was a spiteful god. The two of you never had a child. And when age and jobs separated the two of you. Every time you reunited it was in a moment of fiery heated passion. Even the last time you would reunite and the first time you'd meet Megumi.

Of course you couldn't turn your brother's request to look after his son. Toji meant the world to you and by extension it was easy to take Megumi in as your own.

Mourning your brother's death while still caring for Megumi. How many nights Megumi would wake up to find you crying. Comforting you with hugs and cuddles even as he grew more and more. Looking more and more like his father everyday.

Inevitable that your ache for Toji would only transfer onto Megumi. He looked so much like him. His hair felt just like his. And every time you kissed his cheek it was like Toji was right there with you.

Without a mother. And without a father. Megumi sought anything that felt like a comforting touch. A similarity you both shared.

Soon his hands on your thigh during prayers lead further up. Or a hand on your shoulder when you sat before the heir made it's way to slipping under your kimono. Touch tested first until both of you were in the wraps of a quiet room. Kissing for the first time.

Megumi the first person you'd kissed since Toji. You the only person Megumi ever kissed. Groping and grabbing with baited breath as you rely in hushed whispers how important his dad was to you. You were the only person who would talk about his father. Megumi always wanted to know more. Hear more. Be more.

It didn't take long for you to find Megumi shared so much similar with his father. The way his cum tasted on your lips. How powerful his thrusts could be. The way your bodies met felt like Toji was still with you. By no fault of your own, reenacting all of the things you use to do with your brother. Now with his very own son.

The only difference is that Megumi would never be Toji. You could tell him all the ways you use to fuck. What you would do on the Zenin grounds. And everything. But Megumi would never be Toji because for the first time after all your heated moments wrapped up together. Megumi would be the first man to ever you found yourself falling pregnant to.

Pregnant with your brother's son's child. Megumi would never be Toji. But a lasting gift from your very first love.

Dream SMP Pokémon AU

After taking my second Corona Vaccine shot I got sick and had to stay home from school, so I spent the whole day watching Pokémon Journeys which got me in the pokemood

So of course I started to create the Pokémon teams for the DSMP members, because this is my life I guess.

Also I know most people in the Pokémon world only have like one or two Pokémon, but I thought it’d be more fun to give them all a full team of six. Also, I won’t include all of the Dream SMP members, only those I actually know some shit about.

They’re all grouped into the people they travel with, because the idea of them all traveling alone makes me sad.

But anyways, let’s get on with it.

Tommy Innit, Pokémon trainer, Rival of Jack Manifold - Camerupt, Scorbunny, Galvantula, Shiny Galarian Linoone, Exploud, Snom

Tommy is the son of the gym leader of Hardcore City, and aims to become the champion of the DSMP region. He started out with a Numel as his partner, which he still uses as his ace. He’s quite the reckless trainer that has a habit of forgetting type matchups, which leads to some interesting battles.

Tubbo Schlatt Underscore, Pokémon breeder in training - Beedrill, Mareep, Alolan Vulpix, Ribombee, Xatu, Grookey

Tubbo is the son of a Business man from L’Manburg City and the nephew of a Mareep and Wooloo breeder. When he turned ten he received his Mareep from his aunt as his first Pokémon, and though they had some issues getting along at first, the two eventually bonded. Tubbo’s ace is his Beedrill, the first Pokémon he ever caught, and even though he’s not someone who usually battles his Pokémon are surprisingly strong. He aims to become a Pokémon breeder like his aunt, though he wishes to breed Bugs instead of sheep.

Ranboo Beloved, Pokémon Performer, Rival of Niki Nihachu and Eret King - Male Meowstic, Girafarig, Zorua, Buneary, Axew, Umbreon

Ranboo is an orphan from Ender City, who set out on a journey mostly to find his purpose in life together with his partner Espurr. He met Tommy and Tubbo in Cube City, where Tubbo quickly got attached to the guy which meant he was forced along on their journey. Ranboo found his purpose after watching a friend of Tubbo’s aunt, Niki, during a Pokémon Showcase and he fell in love with it. Despite it, he’s still quite shy and wears a mask and sun glasses when he performs to hide his face and identity.

Purpled Bedwars, Pokémon trainer, rival of Fundy Soot - Mienshao, Espeon, Noibat, Shiny Gourgeist, Drapion, Ambipom

Purpled is from the city of Hypixel, where he’s one of the best Battle Tower contestants in the city. When he turned ten he set out on his journey to fully his hone his skills, and has the goal to become the champion. He’s quite picky with his team though, and chooses only to catch Pokémon that fit his signature colour, Purple, which means he doesn’t catch quite a lot of Pokémon.

Dream Wataken, Defending champion, Rival of everyone - Sceptile, Tyranitar, Drifblim, Breloom, Serperior, Manectric

Dream is the older brother of the Ender City gym leader, and the current reigning champion of the DSMP region. Despite being the champion, he still goes out on the Pokémon journey every year during league season, as he sees that it’s only fair that he collects the badges just like everyone else. While his champion persona has quite a big ego, Dream is a very humble person who loves watching and helping young trainers rise to the top. That does not stop him from acting a bit egotistical and over confident sometimes though.

George Nofoun, Trainer - Quagsire, Komala, Walreim, Snorlax, Foongus, Munna

George is from the city of Kinoko, and is a fellow traveler of Dream. He has no real goal he’s striving for, he just kinda wants to take it easy and nap, but Dream insists on dragging him around. George is not necessarily a bad trainer, all of his Pokémon are quite strong, but he just prefers not to battle. His Pokémon are all just as sleep focused as he is, and more than once has one of them fallen asleep during a battle.

Karl Jacobs, Writer - Poliwag, Furret, Tangela, Croagunk, Noctowl, Stufful

Karl is also born in Kinoko City, and is the boyfriend of the gym leader there, and the gym leader of Nevadas City. He travels with George, a longtime friend of his, and Dream, some random dude George has a crush on, and takes inspiration from their battles to write about in his stories. He has a habit of usually inspiring characters in his stories from the people around him, especially his boyfriends. His team mostly consists of Pokémon he found cute or weird, and he uses Poliwag as his ace since it has a similar swirl pattern as his hoodie.

Captain Puffy Schlatt, Pokémon trainer and breeder, rival of Skeppy Halo - Flaaffy, Dubwool, Altaria, Dhelmise, Empoleon, Archeops

Puffy was born in L’Manburg city and is a person who’s truly been there, done that. A former Captain in the Pokémon War, she currently spends her days breeding Wooloo and Mareep. But each year when it’s league season, she sets out to collect all eight badges and challenge the champion to become the very best.

Niki Nihachu, Pokémon Performer, Rival of Ranboo Beloved and Eret King - Female Pyroar, Vaporeon, Milotic, Mimikyu, Cottonee, Fennekin

Niki is from the city of Antarctic, and is a very kind and sweet individual. She started doing Showcases for fun, and never imagined that she’d become one of the most famous Performers of all of DSMP. A lot of her Showcases include Fire, as she never do one without her ace Pyroar. She’s in reality a really strong trainer, she just doesn’t enjoy Pokémon battles that much.

•

•

•

Fundy Soot, Pokémon Trainer, rival of Purpled Bedwars - Thievul, Vulpix, Bronzong, Mienfoo, Scizor, Marowak

The younger brother of the L’Manburg gym leader, who has a huge inferiority complex. Had a nasty fight with his brother before he left on his Pokémon journey which leaves the two in quite an awkward position when Fundy goes to challenge the gym. Aims to become the Pokémon Champion to get out of the shadow of his brother and show that he’s better and also to impress the current champion who is very handsome but shh tell no one

Eret King, Pokémon Performer, Rival of Niki Nihachu and Ranboo Beloved - Mawile, Salazzle, Garchomp, Meowstic female, Gothitelle, Seviper

A true diva from Ender City who’s used to being in the Spotlight. Has been in Showcases for years, and is an icon of all the GNC people, and the first male born performer ever. They were quite nasty when they first started out and even sabotaged his competitors once or twice. They are quite embarrassed by this fact as an adult. Has taken an older sibling role to Fundy, as he’s having a lot of issues with his actual brother. Is genuinely a nice person who’s there if you need a shoulder to lean on.

Foolish Gamrs, Pokémon historian - Cofagrigus Arodactyl, Shieldon, Sharpedo, Sensu Oricoro, Cubone

Foolish is from a desert village right outside of Nevadas City, that are close to ruins of strange triangle structured buildings. Foolish took early interest in the structures and the history of them, and as soon as he could he started to travel around the DSMP. Many of his Pokémon are fossil Pokémon, or Pokémon that could help him during his excavations. Apart from Oricoro, that one he caught to dance with.

Sam Awedude, Officer in training - Fran the Lillipup, Ferrothorn, Golurk, Magnezone, Turtonator, Elgyem

Sam is a citizen from Badlands Island, who’s always looked up to the police force. When he got older he started training to become one himself, together with his trusted partner Fran. As a child, Sam was apart of a terrible accident with a Weezing and it’s gas, which badly damaged his lungs so he’s forced to wear a gas mask everywhere. He’s quite a compassionate and patient person, and his quite fond of the loud ten year old who really should learn that ground is weak against Water.

Ponk Opsby, Nurse in training - Tropius, Blissey, Bounsweet, Pidgeot, Slakoth, Bellsprout

Ponk is a young, hot headed, impulsive person from the city of Hypixel. They used to spend a lot of their childhood in the city’s Pokémon center, just watching all the trainers flock in and out every day, and quickly became fascinated by Nurse Joy and her job. When they met Sam and Foolish, who’d just stopped by the Pokémon center that they were working at, they became fascinated by them both and left to “get some real world experience”, as they call it. Is a very big fan of the Nomel berry, and takes pride in the fact that they can eat them with a total straight face.

•

Techno Blade, Gym Leader - Mamoswine, Abomasnow, Steve the Beatric (Doublade, Spoink, Beldum)

I hard binged Sell Your Haunted House and finished up today.

**Spoilers for the entire drama.**

I absolutely ADORED this drama! My god.

The characters were all so rich. Worldbuilding was on point. The storyline felt meaningful and well paced. The emotional arcs each character went through landed pitch perfect for me.

This drama has such incredibly fully realized female characters. Regardless of being good or bad, main or secondary characters...they had rich internal lives, complex emotional relationships with others, and consistent motivations paired with realistic character arcs. For this drama, the women definitely stand out the most for me. Ji Ah is my beloved tragic exorcist queen, Secretary Joo was so incredibly cool and flawed, the poignant story with the Restaurant Ahjumma, Ji Ah’s ghost momma and her deep love for her sister and daughter, In Beom’s grandmother who was a mix of misguided and affectionate, the one-off female characters from the ghost stories/cases...nearly every one of the female characters were super interesting to me.

The heartbreaking tragedy of Ji Ah’s character learning that she was the one who trapped her mother’s spirit with her grief and obsession over her death, then re-wrote her memories. Oof!

That’s not to say that I don’t love a lot of the male characters. I adore the bumbling duo of In Beom and his best friend being idiot conmen who stumble into the ghost world and get swept off into an otherworldly adventure. That fool of a gangster Tae Jin who struggled so much with finding the goodness within him and found a family and home by the end. I even liked the Team Leader and detective guys. (Lowkey did anybody else get an OT3 poly-triad vibe with them and Secretary Joo? lmao)

Oh, In Beom and his uncle! I loved the arc of In Beom coming to terms with the fact that his uncle was culpable in so many deaths that just cascaded out and harmed even Ji Ah. Like, yes the uncle did what he did to try and secure a safe home for his mom and nephew but his selfishness for his own family not only killed people, it doomed his nephew and Ji Ah to 20 years of torment and pain. While ultimately Do Hak Sung is primarily responsible for what happened, In Beom’s uncle did not have clean hands in it.

I really respected the drama for not shirking his part of the responsibility. I really rated that part of In Beom’s arc was coming to grips with how flawed both his family members were yet still finding it in himself to love them still. It was a nice foil for him coming to grips with his own flaws as a conman and finding ways to change for the better in a way that his grandmother and uncle never quite got the chance to before they were gone.

Speaking of consequences of the uncle’s actions...the Egg Ghost! That shit was so unsettling and creepy every single time it showed up on screen. The facelessness of the person possessed by it, and that rattling noise it made. No way, brother, get that shit away from me.

The scene where the Egg Ghost possesses In Beom and Ji Ah is put in the same position as her mother, sacrifice either someone she loves or herself or doom the world to untold amount of deaths at the hands of the Egg Ghost. *chef’s kiss* Loved it! Ji Ah and In Beom using their own individual skills to solve the conundrum of how to exorcise the Egg Ghost without killing the Medium was perfect. I loved their partnership so much.

I was really impressed with the deep intimacy and platonic love that was built between the two leads without any overt romance at all but only a few hints of a crush, mostly from In Beom to Ji Ah.

Like, I am obsessed with the idea of Ji Ah and In Beom either being completely platonic or perhaps hetero-romantic asexual life partners where In Beom stays a virgin so that he can be Ji Ah’s primary Medium forever.

Speaking of...the role and trope reversal were so well done. Instead of it coming off as a gimmick, it felt natural and realistic to how people irl don’t fit in the boxes so often seen in TV or movies. Sometimes when stories try to do role-reversal between female character tropes and male character tropes they can come off a bit clunky. Even worse, sometimes either they eventually revert back to traditional gender essentialist roles or they inadvertently reinforce harmful stereotypes. 

But Sell Your Haunted House avoided all of that by basing the “role reversals” firmly in character. Due to the circumstances of their lives, upbringings, families, and even their specific traumas, these two people grew to be who they are. Ji Ah became a more assured and intense woman with incredible fighting ability and chock full of heartbreaking tragedy. Meanwhile In Beom became a softer and more warm man with a charming damsel vibe who needs to be rescued often because of his own foolish nature.

If you are interested in a drama about an exploration of trauma and grief over a backdrop of ghost stories, horror, and mystery then I definitely recommend this one.

PS. Shoutout to this drama for not doing the supernatural story trope I hate with every fiber of my being where the people with magical abilities end the story with “becoming normal or human” and losing their powers permanently. This show has both the female lead and the male lead strutting off to a new haunting, fully powered up like the badass spirit banishing duo they should be!

AMORPHOUS TRACK 11.

Well-behaved women rarely make an empire

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Her chest heaved with every breath taken. Before, she hyperventilated; now, she was calm. There was a difference once she let the darkness break free. 

Silver eyes were devoid of all emotion from the throne she forged upon the moon, gazing at the prison that held the god the fools of Amaurot summoned. Zodiark was bound with his shackles, within his prison that Hydaelyn threw him in.

 Lilith was meant to be a volunteer for Hydaelyn and yet, Venat was the one who summoned Hydaelyn in full. Yet this still turned out for the better; Venat was the one who allowed her body to be a vessel, to sunder the very fabric of their reality into thirteen mirrors. Lilith still retained the strange overflow of sheer power she gained during her trial, during her own sundering. 

She lost only one shard, however. One shard, that once held the innocence her dearly unsundered sire and his beloved had wanted to grow. To see her accomplish things. But Lilith was never perfect, and she knew this; she knew that her parents and her perfect brother knew it too.

Hades always knew. Always flaunted it.

And she, Lilith, had remained so well-behaved until she lost her everything. No, maybe I have lost everything before him.  

Ever since Hermes allowed Meteion to escape, Lilith had been hearing the songs she had sung with her sisters, calling upon the end of their star. It was interesting, now that she recalled. Hermes was confused, angered, distraught during the Final Days. It even showed in his eyes during her trial, before she herself was sealed into her own tomb on the moon.

With the sundering of the remaining Convocation members, the seal on her own prison grew weak. It was far too easy to break free and Lilith intended to build her own empire of darkness. To shatter the world with her own power and not what the Meteia planned. Her skin crawled at the absolute thought of the influencer of the Final Days being held at bay, instead of bringing forth the despair that tainted the gifts the Ancients were ever so proud of. 

Lilith remembered the monsters, the screaming, the skies raining fire. She remembered being soaked in Lucifer’s blood as she wailed beside his corpse. She remembered her mother and brother gazing at her during her trial as though they no longer knew who she was. It was...appropriate. 

She even recalled how Hermes’ expression was one of some tragic male lead who was losing someone he loved during that trial, and heard his voice during her own slumber. A fool he was, to conflate love with obsession.

“First, Lahabrea fails...then Emet-Selch...what about you, Father? Will you fail in inititiating this Rejoining?” Lilith asked softly, her voice carried upon the silent landscape. The power she had gained in her attempt to be the Heart of Hydaelyn, it coursed through her veins now, pulsing through her blood. This was what she wanted, wasn’t it? To have the power to not be helpless, to bring ruin to the shards of those long gone?

That hadn’t changed. It just happened that she knew what to do to enact her own plan.

After all...her brother’s mad descendant was obsessed to clash blades with her own shard. Her nephew was a piece on this chessboard; the shard of the man obsessed with her existence many moons ago was an easy pawn when he wanted to die and yet also wanting to take her to hell with him. 

Standing up, Lilith adjusted the cloak that wrapped around her shoulders, silver eyes manic. She was fed so many lies before she knew the truth, knew the folly of what her family thought. 

You can’t stop a queen now.
